Just a note that the recent "hahaha we were just kidding there's still a free API because AS IT TURNS OUT our infrastructure REALLY NEEDS IT" Twitter just put out was A. Somewhat expected and B. Insufficient to get me to reverse this decision.

Rest in Peace Bob. :(

(Considering getting one of these games simply because I haven't played a Pokemans since Gen 1, and it'd be fun to take a look at the new game kind of through that lense I feel)

A story I bring up for, you know, no reason.

John Romero, during John Romero's Daikatana's development: "FINE! LET the ENTIRE TEAM quit if they're that unhappy!"
