#it's a shame they didn't include that in the gen 4 remakes

i know it would've probably been asking a lot but it would have been so so good if the distortion world had been in pla. like can you imagine

(Gary anon) Doesn't even transition into night, like in the original. Doesn't even go into evening. The whole scene leading up to it is very rushed too. (And this will be another thing that doesn't age well.) I think May could still at least have a cameo, but it's a mystery if she'll ever get a speaking role again. Maybe Max could vouch for her, but I'm not sure how welcoming the fandom will be to him just showing up by himself. (But yeah, wish Kaori the best) It's money, money speaks.

.

(Part 2) Money dominates. I remember a time when I didn't have to use an ad blocker for every video-sharing sites, including Youtube. (The non-stop social topics that are mentally-draining and you seemingly can't escape unless you physically shut your internet; and probably not helped by adults sharing your personal moments online without consent, or even knowing what that means. Yeah, difficult time to be a kid right now) For the most part, the victims who were targeted are okay and some of

(Part 3) those trolls have been arrested and prosecuted. But, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a few injuries and fatalities out of this. (Sorry that happened to you, btw) Hmm, we haven't seen Registeel, Regigigas or the two new ones yet. And we're still in limbo about whether the Galarian Birds will show up. (I think they'll probably still chance a Gen 5 remake, but they have consider whether it's worth doing another BDSP situation or try to combine BW with their sequels and

(Part 4) get something that resembled remakes made prior, like FireRed or HeartGold. (I'm not sure the fandom will swallow the first option again; even if QOL changes were retained. And it would especially bad if they did that for XY) We're in a interesting spot: If gen 9 was announced, it probably be met with mixed feelings and possible backlash this time than any other gen. And it's mostly because it exists "too early". They have to have something else in the works to ease that.

Yikes.

Yeah, I guess it just... remains to be seen. Wishing Kaori well.

That's capitalism for you. It's a real shame.

Yeah, we were not meant to hear about every injustice and tragedy in the world and it's... so draining. The compassion fatigue is so real.

Yeah, family vlogging YouTube channels and the like are straight-up child exploitation and I worry about those kids. It's hard to be young these days.

Good that it ended okay for most of the victims and there were consequences for the people who did that. But I'm... sadly not surprised to hear there were casualties.

No worries about that whole incident! It was a long time ago, I wasn't physically harmed, and I've since moved multiple times so the person who did that to me doesn't even know where I am anymore.

Makes sense! The Galarian birds and Regis are definitely pretty likely candidates.

Yeah, if they do gen 5 remakes I don't know what they'd Do. Gen 5 doesn't really have glaring flaws that need to be fixed.

I think whenever gen 6 remakes happen, they'll definitely take the opportunity to do some things differently story-wise with how... unfinished the game felt on that front.

Yeah, that's a sentiment I've seen from other people on Twitter, and I do think updates/maybe DLC for BDSP and Arceus are the most likely options for this year. BDSP still doesn't have the GWS open yet. And since BDSP apparently has the Shaymin and Darkrai event encounters (I remember seeing people using bug exploits to access them) we'll have to get distributions for the items for those at some point (and probably the azure flute event too).

I guess we'll see what they have planned!
