^-^ (Hiya!)

Just a place for me to post/reblog whatever I like, though you'll probably see a lot of Pokemon Special-related stuff and occasional (in)coherent ramblings about anything.

A huge and heavy complimentary copy arrived, and when I opened it, it was a complete set of the Chinese version of PokeSpe, contained in four boxes. It also included 13 postcard-sized cover illustration cards.

Yamamoto also made a quick comic!

Gold: "Hey, hey, hey! Why is it not volume 13?!" (jealous about Silver being the focus on the illustration and not him)

Dia: "Looks like Silver-san and Pearl are popular in China~" (the only sinnoh trio printed illustration is with Pearl as the focus)

something like that

PokeSPedia recently got a reprint in Japan and it's been reported that a lot of the mistakes and typos got fixed.

I'll start making various adjustments, but do you think we might be able to make it by the end of the year?

[theviolenttomboy]

I should be able to provide an update by day 80. Stay tuned.

Ok, if I take this to mean 80 days from now, update on October 7th of this year...?

[theviolenttomboy]

I will be very, very annoying once we have a new confirmed volume 65 release date.

Yamamoto just tweeted that while he doesn't know PokeSpe's current sales numbers, Japan only makes up of fifteen percent of them. PokeSpe does rely more on international support than most other manga, huh.

Nintendo's Game Key Cards aren't ideal, but it's strictly a case-by-case basis for where each (THIRD PARTY) game (WHICH POKOPIA IS) that uses them is on the bullshit-o-meter once you factor in cost, file size, and reading speed.

That being said, GODDAMMIT SQUARE ENIX AND SEGA YOU CHEAP ASSES EITHER STOP USING THEM FOR YOUR OLD GAMES OR JUST KEEP 'EM IN SWITCH 1 CARTRIDGES

What makes Sony and Playstation extra greedy and stupid in going all digital is that what they want is a Steam/Nintendo super baby, ie, a purely digital walled garden. The problem is that they don't even have the infrastructure in place to have their own version of just Steam or Nintendo, let alone that super baby, so when the PS6 comes out, either everyone's just going to keep using their PS5 or flock to one of those other two (or both) depending on what's more important to them.

They can't be Steam because most people aren't going to pony up 1000+ bucks on a console and paid online just to get in the front door, and they can't be Nintendo because right now it's a lot more difficult for them to either make their own first party games or to get exclusives from third parties.

For that Nintendo bit, no matter what grievances get sent their way, they can safely ignore most of it because they got everything running so buttery smooth they can release a new exclusive game almost every month. Literally no one else in the industry can match that output.

Exclusives are what justifies a console's existence, and Playstation barely has any. Sony acquired a bunch of studios over the past several years for a fuckton of money and then mismanaged them to the point of laying almost all of them off without being able to get a goddamn game out of them first, so no first parties. As for their regular third party supports, they're either barely releasing games themselves as is (Naughty Dog and Insomniac) or flocking to Nintendo in hopes of fostering a stronger relationship. It says a lot that Square Enix decided to showcase the latest Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer in a Nintendo Direct rather than a State of the Play.

Consoles have died in the past because they were too expensive and/or they couldn't secure exclusives. The PS5 will be fine for now since a good amount of them are already out there and there a few games ready in the immediate pipeline, but no one's going to get a PS6 once it's out.

They're playing exactly as they should be, screaming at each other over skips and plus fours ^-^
