you ever think about how japan got one more main-series pokemon game than the west ever will, because red and green were never released in the west?

We can't even seem to _pronounce_ /nk/ and /ng/ without it turning into /ŋk/ and /ŋg/.

I wonder, is there any language that has a minimal pair between /nk/ and /ŋk/, or between /ng/ and /ŋg/?

Those would be hard as hell to tell apart as an English speaker.

spider pokemon (not spoilers, an old one) 

people like joltik a lot, but don't forget the original cute bug-type!

More playable non-humans please. I'm sick of "realistic human" being the standard we measure games and their graphics by. We have all this power and we're using it on -that-?

so we're avoiding news about the new pokemon games but: there is one thing I'd like to know. Have they announced a release date yet, and when is it if so?

the grocery store had stroopwafels on clearance so now I have some of those and they are good

just did a double-take writing a comment on the electronics stackexchange when I saw the person asking the question was @zetasyanthis xD

In contrast, One-Winged Angel conveys a sense of hopelessness, of overbearing power. It's not trying to achieve the same thing, and I think comparing the two is missing the point.

Final boss music can have any number of different moods to it, from the hopeful and heroic to the dark and hopeless, and even, in rare cases, the calm and serene.

The comments on the video I found of the piece compare it to One-Winged Angel, but I don't think I'd put it in the same category. This piece wants to convey a completely different mood than One-Winged Angel, and trying to compare the two is not very useful.

The False God of Causality sounds like a heroic climax of a movie, when the good guys have finally started to push back and gain footing against the bad guys.

The Ys series has gone through a lot of changes since its roots on the NEC PC-88. The music included. There are elements of the original style in the driving percussion, but the grandiose orchestration of this piece is a far cry from something you'd find in Ys I or II. It works really well, considering the circumstances when it's played.

honestly I don't know if this counts as a joke or just an intrusive thought

a joke very few people will get 

Pokemon Black Sword and Bright Shield

re: video games, bootlegs, humorous unintentional swearing 

I am also amused by, when you pick up a pokeball, it says "player!hugeball ball fuck"

Because of course I'm immature when it comes to balls. |3

I still don't understand how they managed to mistranslate "player put item in the bag!" as "player!item bag fuck" in vietnamese crystal but I find it amusing everyt ime we're reminded of it
