Sorry, I've only ever done local trades. I'm assuming I have to go to the festival plaza and hit trade, but which option do I select after that?

There's a blue connection icon in the corner you might need to hit. I've been looking for you so I'm not sure you're logged in. Afterwards check your friends list under link trade, I will be on there under Kane.

I am also on team No Random Encounters but given the sheer number of these things and the fact that that will probably break 1000 with the new game I completely understand not being able to do it fully Let's Go style. I agree with another poster that it should done Persona-style though with visible and avoidable encounters. Maybe even a different "shape" per type or something to make the RNG a little less annoying.

i hope at least the transitions are shorter. theres too much waiting before you can even run away

Lugubrious I've been online for sixteen minutes now and I can't find you. Maybe try a few internet trades and see if those are working because I need to go to bed now. I'll keep your Rowlet and Munchlax on hold until then. Sorry this has been rough buddy. :(

I've added you Flopsy, my code is 1907-7994-3889 should be Gnat, IGN: Lumitar. I'd love a shiny Shaymin and the Eevee and Sylveon whenever we manage to trade. I'm online before work for a bit now, and should be around over most of the weekend.

Edit to add: if you get a chance to rename the Sylveon to Brandestoc and the Eevee to Scramasax, that would be awesome, but if not, no worries (just thinking ahead to what theme I'll go with for Pokemon Sword).

Cool. Now I just have to wait and see if a hardware revision is coming for the Switch or if there will ever be a price drop (there will never be a price drop).

at the very least Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution allows us the opportunity to get a version of that story free of Minnesota Vikings and them simplifying Mewtwo's motivations to "lol destroy the world" and inventing prophecies that don't exist.

Hope TCPi takes it.

Jessie and James row up to Ash and co. to ferry them across the strait to Mewtwo's island, and they're disguised as vikings. Brock says "I didn't know Vikings were still around", and Ash replies "They mostly live in Minnesota."

Like, on its own, it's not a big deal, even the Japanese version has references to stuff from real life, but it's just one of many things 4Kids shoved into the script because they thought kids would get bored if they didn't have a joke coming at them every five seconds.

Exploration is ill-advised.
And they couldn't even reference the baseball team that Nintendo owned.

If it's a shot-for-shot remake, maybe the old movie's visuals with the new movie's audio might be ideal.

Read my posts. I said there’s nothing wrong with the joke itself, on its own. The problem is 4Kids’ while overbearing approach to humor, which is to overstuff the script with them while dumbing down everything else.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
That sort of joke is usually written for parents, actually, not the kids. The kids are unlikely to know who the Minnesota Vikings are anyway.

Nodosaur

A football team isn’t exactly what I’d call a highbrow or obscure reference. Also in the 90’s I remember sports teams selling merch to kids and all sorts of kids in my grade wearing shirts with logos and ball caps and seeing toys of mascots. Sunday football was a family thing, especially in rural communities.

But I digress. Again. The problem isn’t the joke itself. I already said that the original version had references to real life things. James even references a baseball player by name in a Japanese episode of the first season. It’s that 4Kids tried to “punch up” the script and be totally obnoxious about it, adding humor excessively where it wasn’t before, while doing other poo poo like making the whole conflict of the movie more black and white and adding plot points like the bullshit that blue haired lady spouts about prophecies in order to remove any ambiguity about what happens later.

It’s a terrible dub not because of any one thing, it’s a terrible dub because of multiple things, least of all not respecting kids’ intelligence or attention spans in regards to a story that’s not really very hard to understand already.
