    • Well I haven’t seen the movies but if it’s as the article says a vision, it might very well be a manifestation of Ash’s subconscious desire to communicate with Pikachu… I don’t see the big deal… not like the actual Pikachu actually talked in actual life and will actually continue to do so in further movies.

    • Yea I was a bit shocked as well at that moment. My friend who you should all know by now stopped watching at Gen 4, thought that moment was especially corny.

    • Gym Leaders:
      1. Brock (Best Bro)
      2. Gardenia (2nd but already has a pretty strong team)
      3. Whitney (Let the tears flow)
      4. Maylene (One of the firsts whose ace was a Lucario)
      5. Clay (None of the other 5th Gen gym leaders stand out to me that much)
      6. Sabrina (Psychic types were quite scary at first and so was she)
      7. Candice (same reason as the 5th gym leader and I want to avoid type overlaps).
      8. Drayden (Simply the better 8th gym leader of the two in BW).

      E4:
      Wilkstrom (Aegislash…nuff said)
      Flint (I liked how involved he was in the main story despite being an E4 member back in DPP)
      Grimsley (SM were correct in bringing him back as he is one of my favorite Dark type users right after Nanu).
      Kahili (I am a fan of her and her team and she really shows how terrifying Flying types can be).

      Champion:
      Kukui (I know he wasn’t one but he is a pretty awesome character)

      Tried to not repeat types, if I had it’d look very different. I spent way too long on this.

  3. Bored, I got roughly two and a half hours until I get home…

  4. Question about Overwatch (I’m on PS4):

    I started up my game like normal and managed to play a match without any visible signs of lag. All of the sudden my game really started to lag, which I figured it must’ve been the game I was playing in. So I got out of the match and joined another one, but it was the same result each time I joined a new one. About 5 minutes ago I just went on Practice Range to get out of the lag but it was even severely lagging there too.

    My internet’s pretty decent right now, so I don’t understand what it could be. Has this happened to anyone before, or even recently when playing OW?

  5. Whelp review copies are out. I wouldn’t expect any leaks from people trusted enough to get review copies, but at the very least it means the games are out there
