So now that the Galarians have been banned, can we talk about the real problem with their region? - /vp/ (#58044534)

That is the opposite of a problem, you geographically-ignorant retard. It also means we're going to get an Ireland region before a third world shithole like america again.

The fact that Wales wasn’t in it, too.

Also, half of their dex is shit. Sure, there's handful of bangers like Corviknight and Toxtricity. But mostly forgettable garbage like Eldegoss or that ugly "literally just Stonehenge with a face" mon whose name I can't even remember. What a dogshit region

Also, good riddance to acerolanon, lmao

I think he's referring to some bullshit legislation that got passed over here (UK) that requires you to verify your age on websites with NSFW content, though it only really applies to Porn sites/Reddit atm, but you can get around both with the most bottom-of-the-barrel VPN. So in essence, OP is incorrect, a fraudster, and a homosexual.

i replayed swsh recently after sv and lemme tell ya it was one of the worst fucking experiences. outside of stable fps it has NOTHING going for it.
i like to use alternate starters for second playthroughs so i chose lunatone (actually got a full odds shiny on the first egg) and hitmonchan. i didn't struggle on a SINGLE fight and it genuinely made me kinda mad, but other than that

Coming soon to the U.S. as well as some red states have already implemented similar measures restricting internet access unless you submit to a verification process. Don't be surprised if the current federal government decides sites like 4chan need to start asking for your ID or some other verification. VPNs are a simple workaround - for now - but you know they will eventually be targeted.
As for gen 8, it has its problems like any generation. I think though the dexcut magnified some of Sword and Shield's other issues that wouldn't have gotten as much discussion had players been more satisfied with the number of Pokemon included.

Or... or... parents could do some actual parenting, show some personal responsibility, and restrict content that they feel is inappropriate for their kids via tools like parental controls, rather than let big government exert further control over everyone's lives while further harvesting personal data (that is subject to misuse, hacking, and such that happens way more than they actually admit to).
As someone that grew up in the 90s, I remember there being a push to ban Pokemon cards during the height of Pokemania, with activists petitioning Congress to pass laws because TCG was seen as gambling/satanic/etc... but thankfully the government rightfully stayed out of it and the decision was left up to the parents to decide whether or not their kid was going to play TCG or Pokemon in general.

There's so much wrong with swsh, so instead, I'm going to ramble about something I enjoyed about it.

There's a common tune or whatever (music dorks will know the term) that runs through several parts of the OST:
>Postwick
>Route 1
>Motostoke
>Turffield
>Wyndon
>Eternatus battle (final part)
>Leon's champion theme

Maybe it's in the themes for other locations in the game, but that's what I can remember. Whilst I have many gripes with swsh, this one minor recurring bit of music is something I can definitely say I love about the games and I'd dislike the game more than I already do if it was absent. SV also does this, sort of, with part of the tera raid theme being present in the AI Sada/Turo fight in the Zero Lab, and with Terapagos' final theme.

I honestly wish it was done more throughout the games, it certainly sparks joy in me.

Galar is probably the only gen with no redeeming qualities.
Johto and Unova probably fit too, but they're defended by "nostalgia" and everyone just accepts that Kalos is shit

See, Japan actually SPENDS on educating its populace. That's why the Japs didn't include Ireland in a region based on the brits. To quote based Kendrick - "They not like us".

That was the best decision they made that gen. Ireland is an easy candidate for its own region in the future. It would be fucking stupid to waste it as a fistful of recycled routes.

>>58045072
That's the Isle of Mann. They explicitly stated it if it wasn't obvious enough.

Gold and Silver kinda does it with using the Red and Blue opening leitmotif for a bunch of tracks like the champion battle, Kanto trainer battle, and the Kanto gym battle. Would've been more kino if it was only used for Kanto battles and Red.

This was some real bullshit. Cornwall too. The remnants of the original Britons get their lands either frozen over or neglected entirely. Meanwhile lowland Scotland got to be starting area of the game and the Highlands got their own DLC.

I don't know if you're comparing SwSh to SV, but if you are then I don't know how you could say it has worse customization than than that game. It's at the very least tied with SM/USUM for second best customization of the mainline games while SV, PLA, BDSP, and LGPE all had worse

>James Turner said Dynamax was inspired by Fionn MacCumhaill, a prominent figure in Irish mythology who was sometimes portrayed as a giant

What DID James Turner mean by this? Is he a crypto Gael? Is his real name Seamus O'Turner?
