That's just ass-inine.

Pokémon ripoff? Whadda ya mean? I don't see any resemblance.

Another franchise introduced to me via the German dub (seasons 1 and 2). Having seen the English dub years later, I am quite happy about this. The German one didn't censor anything (including the fight between Tai and Matt, which was probably the most dramatic moment of the series) and they kept the original Japanese tunes (with just the words translated into German) which I still listen to from time to time. Vielen dank, Deutsche Team!
Storywise, I remember being far more invested in it than Pokémon. I also thought the Digivolution system had cooler elements, like the Crests of the DigiDestined and the (literal) metal forms.
Apparently, someone at Pokémon thought so too, what with the Mega Evolutions and such. Oh how the turntables...

By that logic, why have any laws in the first place? I mean, people are gonna break them anyway.

Can't (certain) airbenders literally fly? Or are we not counting Legend of Korra as canon?

The world's supply of oil is set to run out in about 50 years. I wonder how long the @anthracite supplies will last.

This was such a great little turn-based PRG series. I played the third, fourth and fifth instalments. All of them had something unique to offer, but Heroes III left the greatest mark by far.
It had the most factions (nine, my faves were Tower and Conflux), arguably the the longest campaigns, and probably the most fan content built around it. There was even a fan-made expansion pack called "In the Wake of Gods" which featured numerous mods like new units, new buildings, and new upgrades for your strongest units.
I remember making a Christmas-themed custom map at one point. Its top side was a Xmas tree, and the underground level was up of present islands.
It's always nice when games a fuel the players' imagination...

Laughter is good for the sole.

Where there's smoke, there are probably @risingflames. (Unless it's Big Smoke)

Many may not believe this, but Pokémon is still going strong. Also, it might come as a surprise, but I myself still enjoy it. I confess I am somewhat of a genwunner. But Pokémon Go has caught me up a little.
So my first exposure to the franchise was actually the German dub (which ran on RTL/KRTL) of the first and second seasons. What little German I know I learned from this dub (and a few others). I remember always mishearing the line "Komm' und schnapp' sie dir" (the translation of "Gotta catch 'em all") as "Come and Snapchat deer." I knew that couldn't possibly be what it was saying, but it was still funny to me.
Still waiting on Gen VI and Greninja in Pokémon Go though...

He's right though. Let's put bed jokes to rest.

It took me a while to figure out that @mikriarktos means "small bear" in Greek. (And no, Cubchoo was snot an option)

Lero lero lero lero lero!

Yes. Any time people are even remotely nice to me, I either think they're lying, or that they don't know what they're saying because they don't know enough about me, or I get impostor syndrome.

The feathers on their back make a face.

And why shouldn't they?

Ah, that good ol' MS-DOS feel. The original Commander Keen series had 7 entries in total. Though I only played and finished Episode IV, it still left a big impact. And not just on me, on the video game industry in general. This entry featured an enemy called the Dopefish. It was sort of a meme before memes were even a thing. It was so famous among video game devs back then that it received cameos and mentions in other non-related games (in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 for example, there's a sign that reads "Spaz ate the Dopefish").
As for the game itself, it was pretty challenging. Though the enemies were pretty cartoony, they all killed you in one hit. And though you had a weapon (Neural Stunner) some enemies were immune to it. At least you could jump really high.
A mobile game came out recently featuring Keen's kids. But most fans feel it doesn't really do the OG justice...

And on the 69th day, the All-Memey said @letthemhavememes. And he saw that it was unoriginal, but still good.
