On that note, some of my favorite Pokemon like Torkoal and Stunfisk don't evolve and I don't think they need to.

It annoys me a little when people call every single stage family a "missed potential".
I find that some Pokémon do have missed potential but yeah, not all of them need evos

IMO, America's got plenty of good sweets. Some are a bit lesser known, but many of the more popular and famous ones are honestly pretty good, too. As far as candy goes, I mostly indulge in them around the late holiday seasons of the year or either going to see movies at a theater or family movie nights.

I can't attest to the quality of Reese's, though. Peanut allergy keeps me from being able to try a lot of foods.

Honestly if Pokemon is dexiting things up from here on out anyway I do really wish that they were more willing to make bigger changes to pokemon's abilities and statlines. Powercreep would be less of an issue if they were willing to give older pokemon more then just incremental buffs outside of new evolutions.

Society if they gave the Rapidash forms 115 attack / 120 speed and Reckless or Pixilate respectively:

Society if they swapped Sceptile's attack and special attack around (it got ****ed by the Phys/Special split and Game FrEAk didn't accommodate for that) and gave it Sharpness instead of Unburden

Okay dude I'm gonna be honest you gotta stop pretending to care about every single reboot that gets announced. It's never gonna end and the answer will always be the same
It's not that though. It's the fact they're making an adaptation of the IP into a horror movie.

How does Popeye work as a horror movie???

Sometimes they do...like increasing Azumarill's special attack to 60 when that's not the attack stat it focuses on.

Oh well, it was still OU in gen 6 anyway!
Not sure that this is a good move for The Game Awards.

I think this should depend on how much content an expansion adds, or how much is changed regarding a remake.

That's the same principal. It doesn't matter how it works, they're making it to spark outrage, which in turn creates conversation, which generates awareness and potentiallly even curiosity, which translates into money.

For example, I would've likely never known about this movie had you not made that post. I would likely not have been made aware of many other movies and reboots had you not mentioned them. I personally don't plan to watch them but my point still stands

About the Death Battle, why is this now playing in my head over and over?


So anyway, when the Death Egg fired his beam and Eggman was in that crater breathing heavily; in that scene, who else thought it was over for him before Dry Bowser came along? I did.

I'm quickly understanding the strategy of Raven Beak in Metroid Dread.
One of the best boss battle I've ever fought, I like how the things that work in the opening cutscenes of the game work in the fight itself, Samus already feels like a long ranged battering ram or something but pulling off those tricks makes you feel like a god too

I did for like a second. Really was hoping for Eggman to take the win but i understand it.

Since we're currently on the topic of Death Battle. What's everyone's favorite episode(s)?

My top 3 are Godzilla VS Gamera, Scooby-Doo VS Courage and recently this one (Jon Talbain VS Sabrewulf used to be 3 but Bowser VS Eggman topped this. :D).

The Starscream vs Rainbow Dash battle was my childhood

I don't watch Death Battle but that animated sequence was well made. Granted I skipped the analysis.

Are the actual fights always this well made?
for the biggest of fights yeah, tho most fights are still animated well despite the peak work such as this fight

I'll give my top five Death Battles in no particular order:

Bowser vs Dr. Eggman
Xeno Trunks vs Archie Silver
Bill Cipher vs Discord
All Might vs Might Guy
Rick Sanchez vs The Doctor
