@SolomonGloom @343GekuL @wizards_magic Player base Is up because of Commander. Sales are up because every set Is breaking record financially wise, especially UB, what are you talking about? And also this is a game, not a financial investment. It can cost less but if they earning more Money than ever no need to change

@Baal_in_Dark @CentroLeaks Implementing Grinding Is the worst way to keep people engaged in actual meaningful gameplay. Do you really prefer they implemented grinding parts to keep you engaged instead of anything else? Do you really prefer It to more story, content, exploration, meaningful quests?

@LostVagabon @OshawottPro Here you got the worst ragebsit of the week award

@Other_Time_Trav @ShckglyGongas @JoeMerrick @tsumugice If there isn't a criteria to define 'main series' then it's literally useless and meaningless according to your logic and as I said in other comments.
So why is Joe crying every other day about 'za is the main series' when it's literally meaningless and useless.

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@ShckglyGongas @JoeMerrick @tsumugice how do you know if it's the majority or not? proof? Also being mainline or not doesn't give any intrinsec value to the game anyways. Anyway, if the Pokémon Company says that legends za is a first person shooter doesn't make it a first person shooter. Why are u zombies to tpc?

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@nexta88 @JoeMerrick @tsumugice Also we are arguing over nothing because being mainline or not doesn't give any intrinsec value to the game, that, at the current state, looks very dull anyways.

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@nexta88 @JoeMerrick @tsumugice They adopted it because everyone used it, glad we agree that people define it, and not the publishers

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@JoeMerrick @tsumugice Yes it is, it's the basics of language adoption. If the majority of people won't adopt a term to define something, it simply won't be. It has already happened even in Pokemon, shiny Pokemon weren't originally called shiny, but everyone still used shiny, and lately became official

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@BlueSparxLPs @JoeMerrick @PatrickHay52093 You want another example? EV and IV. They were present since always but never gave an official name for them, community invented EV and IV and guess what, tpc adopted it, because they know that they could have called them 'gugugaga' and literally no one will have used that term

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@BlueSparxLPs @JoeMerrick @PatrickHay52093 At first they were called 'special colored Pokemons', no one used that term and still used 'shiny' guess what, they changed their name to 'shiny'. People will always decide.
Also being mainline or spinoff gives no quality besides marketing, that's why they say they're mainline

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@JoeMerrick Also calling them mainline or spinoff doesn't give them any quality whatsoever. So there is literally no purpose to argue over it. They can label it how they want, people will decide to adopt that term or not. Simple as that. Languages are always made from the people

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@JoeMerrick My favourite thing is debunking this. Tpc can label what they want, but if people don't adopt that term then it's not. Most notable examples were shiny Pokemons that weren't called shiny originally. People still used 'shiny' to refer them, and lately they made it official. 1/2

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@JamieTheHuman @JoeMerrick And this is where you're wrong. People make the language. The most notable examples are shiny Pokemon. I don't remember very well but at first they weren't called officially shiny Pokemons, but something different, people still used 'shiny' and it lately became the official term

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@BlueCatPK @RCHYS2 @JoeMerrick Couldn't say it better, people make the language, not companies. If the majority of people adopt a term to indicate something, that's it, simple and clear.

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@JoeMerrick @PatrickHay52093 If TPC says "pokemon scarlet and violet are the best game ever made in the world" does it make it true? No. So they can label what they want as what they want. Language is made by the people, not by companies (fortunately) People have always made the language, not the other

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@youworshipangel @gollyollyolly Ehmmm, they don't? Why do you all want to depend on what companies says. Have some free will wtf

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@imdimran0011 @KickinWithKush @CentroLeaks Even with tariffs counted in they are still making money. Also there is nothing spectacular spec wise here. The mouse feature (the optical sensor) costs about 50 cent lol. And the rest is same

[Lavfibra @lavfibrax]

@imdimran0011 @KickinWithKush @CentroLeaks Bro it costs less than 300 to produce because the Japanese region locked switch 2 costs around 300$... The only difference is the software installed. That's corporate greed. They are making you pay for everything, even the 'tech demo' game.

@JABridgeforth @BrandrewBreveea @gamestop Are you stupid. Yes, it's okay in other countries because you would never accept to work for 1/2 dollars an hour. Would you? That's why most companies manufactures in Asia
