41 years ago today, Dire Straits took the stage at Live Aid 1985. Performing between U2 and Queen, they delivered a flawless set: "Money for Nothing" with Sting and "Sultans of Swing." Mark Knopfler's guitar work was incredible. Still an iconic moment in rock history. 🎸

Again?? Okay.
Pokémon fell off. They got so comfortable being at the top that they stopped trying. What's even worse is that people are okay with this.
-Gens 1 and 2's plot involved a crime syndicate kidnapping Pokémon and selling them on the black market.
-Gen 3 involved two eco-terrorists beefing with each other for territory and risking ecological upheaval.
-Gen 4 had a man striving to create a "perfect universe" by destroying the current one.
-Gen 5 had a man aiming to lay claim to a region using, dare I say, fascistic tactics to install a totalitarian regime. Also in Gen 5, Colress worked with Ghetsis while rejecting his ideology. Colress wanted to draw out the full potential of Pokémon even if it causes casualties. Can you tell which Gen is my favorite?
This is when it starts to fall off.
-Gen 6 had a man who wanted to rid the world of what he deems ugly by activating a weapon of mass destruction.
-Gen 7 had delinquents led by a guy who was upset for losing to the [best] professor. You also had a woman who sought to preserve things she "loved" against their will.
-Gen 8 had a VERY preventable plot where Fake Tony Stark wanted to immediately solve a problem that wouldn't happen for another 1000 years.
-Gen 9 was about helping a guy find his parents, who were already dead after a freak accident involving time travel. Sounds pretty interesting, but you have to play through the other 88% of the game that doesn't talk about this first. A pointless school plot and a pointless plot involving kids who are misunderstood. Can you tell which Gen is my most disliked?
All of this to say the storytelling got bland, and the interesting parts were muddled with blandness. The gimmicks began to replace creativity as the roster additions became smaller. They began to offer less content and replace it with visuals. Powering through processing problems doesn't cut it anymore. Pokémon Violet crashed on me four separate times, more than any game I've played since Fallout 3 on PS3 back in 2010.
The worst part? Pokémon's audience. This isn't an attack on the fans, mind you. This is a critique of how the corpos get away with peddling "new thing" and raking in the money. They know they can metaphorically offer low-effort microwaved burger patties as long as it has the "essence" of Pokémon on it and the fans happily will lap it up at retail price. And now we have Pokémon, but it's DQB/AC/Minecraft and doesn't commit to just Pokémon since you're a Ditto cosplaying as a human.
It's extremely difficult being a fan of Pokémon. My standards for a good Pokémon game aren't high at all, but they continually fall below that bar. I'm tired, man.
🤔Sinceramente, no sé por dónde empezar a hablar de la canción de hoy.
Tal vez lo mejor sea empezar por el principio: hace mucho tiempo, un hombre llegó por el camino…
Así empieza un #clásico enorme. En muchos sentidos, la obra maestra de Dire Straits.
