The End of Evangelion originally had a much longer live-action alternate reality.
It followed live-action versions of Asuka, Misato and Rei, played by their actual voice actresses, living ordinary lives in a world with no NERV, no Evangelions and no Shinji.
Parts were filmed, but Anno ultimately removed most of the sequence from the finished movie.
Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who publicly resigned from Anthropic yesterday with a stark warning about AI safety, was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on his show this evening.
Competitive Pokémon is extremely complex.
Limiting the mons/items avail at launch makes it easier for newcomers (like me) to understand, while challenging vet players to rethink strategies.
A lot of the newer pokemon can click a move and OHKO anything on the field, so it’s actually a GOOD thing they’re not in the game. If this is your first venture into competitive, that would be incredibly frustrating to constantly experience and likely make you put the game down. The game is (mostly) balanced.
This all gives the game somewhere to go. Each new pokemon completely reshapes the meta. If everything was available now, there’d be no room for the “evolution” you speak of
One of my favorite things about Pokemon as a competitive game is the sheer amount of options it gives the player in teambuilding, so it may be surprising that I actually think the limited options Champions presents is actually a huge win in many ways
Playing Pokemon where the type chart matters feels like remembering a language you thought you forgot like what do you MEAN my Conkeldurr beats their Tyranitar? They’re obviously gonna Tera Flying?
