Which stores do you recommend for purchasing light novels through the Internet? And why? I wish to purchase several light novels in Japanese. I have some experience in this matter, but the last time I ordered was a number of years ago. I realize that the landscape may have changed since I last...

I prefer the look of XY's PSS, battle menu, and Pokémon menu. (The first, third, and fourth comparisons you uploaded.) The Pokémon information page is a toss-up for me. It doesn't come across very well in fuzzy cell phone pictures, but the colors in XY's battle menu are much richer/deeper...

The entire point of the Stadium project was to allow you to play with your Pokémon in colorful 3D back in a time when the main series games were monochrome and 2D. There were a few bells and whistles attached (e.g. Dodrio Tower), but the main draw was undeniably the 3D and color. We've had...

Anything that helps to give the character more depth, richness, backstory, etc. Ideally, the cameo complements someone else who is originally from RSE. Some examples that come to mind ... Glacia's acquaintance: If they want to continue to keep it a mystery where she heralds from, that's fine...

Yeah, someone on Twitter earlier reported: Their tweet combined with your post seems to suggest one of two possibilities: they're going in some sort of chronological order, from oldest registered e-mail addresses to newest registered e-mail addresses they're only e-mailing e-mail accounts that...

And the record shows that I have had this in mind the entire time. I've never advocated for Game Freak to quit doing press releases and other "official spoilers" period. In fact, what I have previously suggested is that they should: reduce the time between the very first announcement of the...

Seems that way. So it's not a spoiler to discuss the latest XY episodes out of Japan with North American and European dub viewers, is it? Nor is it a spoiler to tell someone the ending of any book that has previously been published? A spoiler's "spoilerness" isn't determined by whether it...

I explained perfectly clearly how it isn't enough to cut out a forum like Bulbagarden or Serebii -- how you have to cut out Pixiv, Twitter, Facebook, gaming news sites, Imgur, Reddit, everything but Google searches for homework or work -- if you don't want to be spoiled on a new Pokémon release...

The burden of responsibility is too ridiculous either way. Think of it like this: whenever there was a new Harry Potter book that was coming out, there were practically zero leaks ahead of time. This meant that you didn't need to make any changes to your daily routine until the night of the...

If you're in England, your options appear to be listed here.

You've chosen to compare lifetime sales of a game only one year old with lifetime sales of games years older, in some cases more than a decade old. There's your first problem. But let's conveniently ignore that for now and look at game sales relative to console sales. And let's only look at...

I touched on this in the related thread about attitudes towards ORAS spoilers: But to answer your question, yes, I'm not happy with how much Game Freak reveals during pre-release. With Gold and Silver, the Internet was a different place back then, and it was easy to avoid spoilers from Japan...

I typically do not enjoy spoilers. I encouraged my community to keep spoiler discussion for XY separate from non-spoiler discussion right on up through Christmas 2013. A number of people resented me for it, but I also received thanks from fellow players who dislike being spoiled on details going...

XY pre-release: No one said anything about character customization being unique to Kalos. XY release: No one said anything about character customization being unique to Kalos. Now: Masuda suggests that character customization is unique to Kalos. XY pre-release: Mega Evolution is billed as...

The United States will probably receive Steelix if eeeeeeeeeeveryone else so far except Japan has gotten Glalie. It would be oddly self-serving of the Japanese to give their own country something uniquely theirs while making all of the rest of us share the same creature. I think it's more likely...
