Pokémon gen 9 looks like it’s going to be amazing. Based on the Sonoran desert.

Someone save this quote somewhere for future reference.

Did they ever give us back the national dex?

Great question

 

[Midorikawa]

No they did not. Everyone got over it because SwSh was awesome and the DP remakes put platinum to shame.

Did they announce Black&White 3 already?

 

[Midorikawa]

Did they announce Black&White 3 already?

Why would they? They don’t need a 3. But there have been leaks of the Gen V games and the leaks say that there will be one remake for the whole region and that we’ll see the original dragon.

 

[DarthWolf]

and that we’ll see the original dragon.

This is something I've been curious about

Pokemon Gray?

 

[Midorikawa]

Pokemon Gray?

Nope just Black and White with some extra name racked on. The leaker says that’s apparently still in discussion at GF.

Tried discord popcorn mafia
I was town
It went like this
Hostbot: player has received a gun!
Player: last one to talk is Mafia
Mek
Player: shoots other player
Hostbot: Town wins!

I won’t go through the myriad of reasons that this is impossible, so I’ll just go with the biggest one:

A remake of Diamond or Pearl would not put Platinum to shame, much like ORAS did not put Emerald to shame (if anything, the reverse is true). A remake of Platinum would put Platinum to shame, if done correctly.

Why don't people use polls for voting
Is there something wrong with it or has nobody thought of it

I think there’s a problem with replacing a poll once it’s up. iirc, regular users can delete or start new polls after the first one, and it’s limited to the thread starter and staff members, which precludes a co-host from changing the poll.

 

[Snowy]

To be fair, it wouldn't take much to code it into the forums to allow a TWR thread starter to be able to remove a poll... but is it worth it?

nope.

 

[Calvinッ]

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

The Syndicate uses polls for voting and it is so much easier. You guys don't know what you're missing out on.

Polls also don't let you see voting patterns as easily. It can be nice going back through the thread and see when and why each person voted for who.

The ability to see the vote count at any time without having to constantly check each and every post outweighs any disadvantages, plus people tend to post who they're voting for anyways. Seriously, actually play a game that uses polls for voting, and you wouldn't be at all skeptical of them.
