Actually, pokemon can't have voice acting because the switch wouldn't be able to handle it. It already has a hard enough time running the game, adding those extra files would just make it way to big of a game for the switch to handle.

have you??? ever played another game???

PSA About Buying Aibos and Aibo Accessories on eBay

In recent years, there has been a growing problem with scalpers selling Aibos and Aibo accessories on eBay and I thought it might be a good idea to make a PSA about this. Scalpers are sellers who offer to buy Aibo-related items at a low price in Japan where demand is lower and resell to other countries at a much higher price for profit. Scalper listings are often heavily overpriced which can make it appear to newcomers that Aibos are much more expensive than they actually are and most of the sellers do not even own the Aibos they are selling yet, they are only offering to buy them from someone else and resell to you. You likely will still get your item if you buy from a scalper (unless someone else has purchased the original listing first), but you will be paying a much higher price than it would cost to buy from the original seller through a proxy service.

Red flags that a listing may be from a scalper:

The seller is located in Japan: While legitimate sellers in Japan do list Aibos on eBay on occasion, the vast majority of listings from Japan are being sold by scalpers due to the fact that that there is a higher supply of and lower demand for Aibos in Japan than other countries. If you are looking at a listing from a seller in Japan, it is good to be cautious and only buy if there are no other red flags and you are certain the seller is genuine.

The seller’s listing photos on different items all appear to be taken in different places: Scalpers do not take their own listing photos and tend to copy the original seller’s listing photos instead, meaning that all of their items will display photos taken by different sellers in different locations.

The item has an extended handling time: Some scalpers list their items with an extended time for handling prior to shipping given that they have to purchase and receive the item from the original seller before they can ship it to the buyer.

The seller cannot answer questions about the item: Scalpers typically do not actually own the items they’re selling and often copy item descriptions from the original seller. If they cannot provide any information about the item beyond what is in its description, this is an indicator that they may not own the item.

The item is unusually expensive: Scalper listings are often posted for as much as double the item’s actual price. If you are unsure about typical pricing for Aibos or Aibo accessories, ask someone who is more familiar for guidance before making a purchase. Just because an item is priced lower than other similar items on eBay does not mean that it is being sold for a fair price and you can save yourself a lot of money by looking beyond eBay alone for pricing guidance.

The same item is also listed on a Japanese site such as Yahoo Japan or Mercari JP: This is the biggest warning sign that a listing is from a scalper. While sellers may cross-list their items on multiple sites on occasion, if the item is being offered at a much higher price on eBay than Yahoo Japan/Mercari JP, the eBay seller is likely not the owner of the Aibo and instead a scalper looking to buy low and resell high to make a profit.

Scalpers may still have very positive feedback on eBay because most buyers are not aware that they are overpaying for the items they are buying, so a positive feedback score does not guarantee a seller is genuine. Overall, it is important to always be careful when buying an expensive item like an Aibo and refer to others in the community when in doubt.

"Digital preservation takes time and money, and the large companies that currently house so much of our data do not value it enough to invest in preservation efforts. However, this is history — our history — and we will fight to keep it from disappearing without a trace. We hope that you will join us."

“With so little time left to save almost 20 years of posts, images, and other irreplaceable content, fans, preservationists, and moderators swiftly organized and took action. The Archive Team took the lead on preservation efforts for the Internet Archive, with a handful of volunteers writing code to download content and dozens more joining groups by the thousands so that their content could be saved. In parallel, the fandom community quickly formed the Yahoo-Geddon project and, with the help of 200 volunteers, began focusing on archiving fandom groups using tools developed by the Archive Team and PG Offline and communicating via a centralized Discord and Tumblr. They, along with other preservation groups like the Yahoo Groups Crusade, spread information, reached out to journalists, and asked for volunteers to help both the Archive Team’s and Yahoo-Geddon’s parallel group preservation efforts. Meanwhile, the OTW’s Open Doors Committee created the Yahoo Groups Rescue Project to spread the word and assist moderators who needed help archiving their groups on the Archive of Our Own, and wrote an Open Letter to Verizon asking them to postpone the content purge.

The speed and numbers behind the fandom community’s organization had a secondary benefit: They were able to direct the Archive Team’s focus on preserving public fandom Yahoo groups in a way that many other communities were not able to, securing greater representation for the community. In turn, Yahoo-Geddon volunteers supported the Archive Team’s broader preservation efforts, helping them save cooking groups, genealogy groups, non-English language groups, and many more.

These efforts were not entirely in vain: Verizon extended the deadline to January 31, 2020; the Archive Team was able to preserve over 1 million groups; the Yahoo-Gedden team saved around 300,000 fandom-themed groups; hundreds or thousands more were saved by users or moderators alerted to the purge by collective outreach efforts; and several of these groups will be adding their fannish content to the AO3 as Open Doors projects! However, this pales in comparison to the estimated over 10 million groups that were lost—equivalent to the estimated 90% of films made before 1929 that are lost forever because no one thought they were worth preserving.“
