/!\ I may reply to/repost 18+ content or say some weird shit. Please leave if that bothers you. Block/mute me if I'm annoying (I won't mind, and probably would do the same). /!\
Peach is just mad Toadette pulled off her look better than her tbh.

Also, while I've never bought them, I have also played the Xbox One and New 3DS versions too.

I've bought Minecraft like 7 or 8 times tbf.

Once or twice on Xbox 360 (not sure which), once on Wii U, once on mobile, once on Chromebook, once on Java, and twice on Bedrock (once for myself, and another for an ex of mine when we were still together).

Tl;dr, I think the Rogue Mega Evolution fights were awesome and a very welcome evolution of the fights against the Frenzied Nobles from Arceus.

I also feel like the difficulty scaled pretty appropriately. Mega Absol was pathetic, while Mega Zeraora can make you one wrong move from a black out in a single attack if you're not careful.

Absol is the first boss, Zeraora is a secret boss with a super complex method to even fight it at all.

Like aside from the DLC and dealing with the time running out, the fights weren't that difficult, they just constantly kept me on edge, and tbh? That was kinda what made the fights fun for me.

If this were any other mainline Pokemon game, I'd just be jamming out to the battle themes during the entirety of the fights and not taking them very seriously, but my mind was just extremely fixated on not dying.

Honestly the idea that robots, cyborgs, basically any creature that's at least somewhat artificial could just download files to make them better and/or cheat at something is kind of an underrated idea.

I *guess* it got a cool typing that is still unique to it over 10 years later, but that's about it.

Admittedly, that's still more love than Volcanion got. I'd argue Volcanion is Game Freak's least favorite mythical at this point.

My dude has nothing but a single movie, which is also the same movie Magearna has, so it had to SHARE the slim amounts of spotlight time it got.

Magearna got a movie, possibly THE most readily accessible mythical (S/M QR Code, Pokemon Home gift, and now a side quest in Z-A), a special form, and a new Mega.

Zeraora got a movie, a shiny, a new Mega, and is readily available.

All Marshadow got was a funky crystal and being readily available.

Also for the record, I know OR/AS' Sky Pillar theme originated from that one cutscene in Emerald, but idk, Sky Pillar is the first thing I think of when I hear the theme.

The LGBTQ+ community being child gr00mers thing is so stupid. Yes, there are gay and trans people out there that are like that, as extremely unfortunate as that is, but that is such a tiny, minuscule, almost insignificant part of this community.

Most of us just want our fellow LGBTQ+ to be happy.

That last point is so stupid because what SHOULD we do then?

Because apparently supporting trans kids through their endeavors is abusive, but NOT supporting them sounds like a one way ticket to making them depressed, maybe even suicidal depending on the individual, which ALSO sounds like abuse.

While I absolutely adored the game, to the point where it's at bare minimum a Top 3 mainline game for me, there are certain qualities about it that I can acknowledge are absolutely not for everyone.
