Yeah, myself.

Not since I backpacked through Central America, no. Sloths don't seem to like the north for some reason, a real shame they cannot be found in their up here.

I meant in media and stores on merchandise.

The running out of ideas is what people say every new gen. Then, a few months into it, people are suddenly OK with the new gen, and then the cycle repeats when the next gen gets announced.

honestly this is the first time I've actually said that personally.

I'm just hoping at least one of the starters this generation isn't going to turn into a freaking stick figure again like the last two generations. In fact, a lighter hand on Stick Figure Pokemon in general, and make Pokemon besides stick figures competitively viable please.

No, I do not like frail-looking designs.

I feel we have had worse designs in Gen 1, even when I don't like Meltan too much

Besides, it looks like Meltan will be something like Zygarde cells, when there will be much of them together, they'll fuse into another form... Basically Zygarde-Complete 2.0

@Mystic_Enigma guess it all hinges on your definition of the word monster doesn't it
Here's the Latin version
mōnstrum n (genitive mōnstrī); second declension

a divine omen indicating misfortune, an evil omen, portent
(metonymically) a monster, monstrosity, whether in size or character
(figuratively) a thing that evokes fear and wonder

I think of energy drink, and exp/item drop farming.

Yes, if you use a lot of RPG maker, monsters in the RPG maker are cute.

I smell a tournament arc coming on...

I'm saving that for a future book.

They show up, boast, make rude comments and then leave, without paying for their meals.

Science can't do that, it's always correcting its own ignorance. Recently we've discovered through dna that there are actually a lot less subspecies in the world than previously believed and that many (sometimes 100s) of what we thought were individual animals were actually the same species and that their external differences were purely environmental adaptation rather than distinct evolutionary tracts.

The correct category is actually no category. We categorizing/classifying things so we can understand better. If it's like this, it must be this. But, living creature is just a complex chemical reaction that we havent yet understand it.

I heard Pluto is planet again.

I use the term narcissistic when referring to a certain types of media. Is that wrong?

If the shoe fits. But "Narcissistic" is better used to describe an individual who cares way too much about themselves or how they look and nothing else. If you want to refer to media or some other force, "Pretentious" might fit better.

true and annoying to those who actually have dealings with the real thing

Sorry I forgot to mention that Custom knight is a fish. They even have one of his taunt animations be his helmet falling off and seeing the fish face

Shovel Knight is a suit of living armor, and nothing anyone says will ever change my mind.

I think it would be funny if, in a sequel, Shovel Knight takes his helmet off time to time, but there's a different head ranging from humans and animals every time.

Hope you find comfort in at least some of the stories and games here instead then.

It's nothing groundbreaking, just your standard reincarnated hero of light fighting legendary evil spiel.

Gameplay is patently dragon quest; bout as inovative as they've gone is replace random encounters with on the map ones.

That said I've been enjoying dq11 so far. It's nice to see a mainstream title continue to embrace turn-based in a world where almost all AAA RPGs are arpgs tbh. I like both but I'll be the first to admit that game sold itself to me on nostalgia alone, of course, that's also what lead me here as well.

Oh, is this about an actual MMO, or a fictional one? And what about the portrayals didn't sing well with you?

I think a made up one. Also, the main star made a few tasteless comments about how furries are freaks. If what dad told me about s5 is true, she must have gotten some angry emails.

Huh, well that probably sparked something or another. Then again those of that community aren't exactly paragons...In any case, maybe they'll do it a little batter in that regard? It's worth giving it a Gentleman's Try!

Hmm. I think you might be right. Maybe that's why limitations help creativity so much.

I've been trying a new thing lately. When I get overwhelmed with a decision or just can't choose, I've been trying to break the whole thing down into smaller choices. I have to make more choices but they're easier ones.

I like 11 so far. Don't know if it has a monster arena or not but it's a nice nostalgia trip for people who pine for the game mechanics of the previous decade. Ever played DQ5? That one seems like it'd be right up your ally; in addition to being one of the best of the series.

Yes I have. Dragon Quest 5 is one of my personal faves. the only other main Dragon Quest I can think of with a monster taming feature is number 8. I know six technically has one, but it's limited to just slime. I own both Dragon Quest 5 and 8 for my tablet.

I find the latest seasons of Spongebob bad in general. A lot of cartoons lately are either in bad taste or way too dark for their own good...

If you really want to mess with them, record what they are saying and then just play it back to them.

What's wrong with that? I mean statistically speaking, what are the odds that no one is fat in a city (or even a village).

That someone is usually either one of the main characters or ALL the main characters.

Light Fury. http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Fury

what I don't get is that the people who made the toothless look alike in that game didn't even bother to change toothless's iconic broken tail! what could have just been a rip off ended up being copyright infringement.

@TheoAllen one problem I do have is that there's too many wolves and foxes and mundane animals, and not enough cool ones like porcupines or wombats or pangolins. I'd love to see more interesting anthro protagonists, though even mundane anthro characters are nice to see every now and then Imo.

If you're fine with anime culture, I think zero kara hajimeru mahou no sho has a good anthro prota. Granted, he wasn't unique bcz of the world setting, but still the main prota. Even I was enjoying it.

@Benny Jackdaw Have you seen the game called Biomutant? You play as some sort of anthro animal in that. https://biomutant.com/

The what's and the anti-whats? Why are we all so obsessed with putting nonsensical labels on each other to define cliques based on melenin content, sex, sexual preference or whatever the fudge else we can find to divide each other into neat little boxes with?

Alpha looks pretty awesome though, can't wait to see it in 2-3 years.

To be honest, I'm actually kind of glad people are getting sick of those terms. Basically people used that term to refer to people who are obsessed with Wolves, but a lot of people use that to refer to anyone who like wolves.
