I’m Just Going to Have to Make My Peace With This Big, Dumb Fire Cat Wrestler Thing
The final starter evolutions for Pokemon Sun and Moon have not yet been officially released, but the Internet is a wily beast, and some data-miners were able to pull the sprite files from the recently hacked demo. Behold, the final starter evolutions!
Worst. Starters. Ever.
I don’t like any of them.
These final starters were released months ago in a “leak”, but for the longest time, I denied them. I hoped they were just another fan-made bit of nonsense. I denied their truth for so long! But now there’s no getting around it. These are our final starters. I’m going to have to pick one of them for Sun and/or Moon.
Ugh.
I wanted to go with Litten, the fire cat. He was the coolest looking of the starters. But his final evolution is super dumb and ugly. Another fire/fighting Pokemon? And a big humanoid pro wrestler? Didn’t we just have that with the pig not two generations ago?!
Personally, I prefer animalistic Pokemon. I don’t like humanoids. Which means I should probably pick the owl or the seal, but I don’t like either of them! The owl just looks too busy, and I don’t like the idea of a flying starter. And I like the seal in concept, but not in execution. That thing clearly belongs in the water. How am I supposed to picture the seal following my Pokemon around? She’ll just be flopping along after me. I don’t want to break my mental role play!
So it looks like it’s gonna be me and that big, dumb fire cat wrestler thing…

Assassin’s Creed Movie is Going to Be Super Extended Desmond Section
There’s a new trailer out for the Assassin’s Creed movie, and apparently the film looks to be focusing on he boring present-day stuff instead of the meat and potatoes of the franchise. Who the hell plays an Assassin’s Creed game for the present day stuff?! Why is that a focus?!
It’s not like they’re only using Michael Fassbender in the present day stuff. He’s also acting in the Spanish Inquisition scenes! Why are they doing this?! Nobody liked the Desmond segments from the first games! They were so dumb. We played Assassin’s Creed so we could be badass assassin’s parkouring around ancient civilizations! And the movie clearly has those scenes in it. There is so much Spanish Inquisition-era parkour!
Who thought this would be a good idea?

So Far, I’m Still Team Fire-Cat
The middle evolutions fort he new Pokemon starters have been revealed as part of the drip, drip, drip of new information for Pokemon Sun and Moon. I’m not exactly sure why they wait so long to reveal this stuff! Come on! I want to know for sure if I’ll be sticking with the Litten line or not!
So far, Litten and Torracat are the only ones I like, and he would be a sure thing…except I’ve seen those leaked images and I’m worried that Litten transforms into a giant, bipedal wrestler. I don’t want that! I want a cool, fire-breathing sabretoothed tiger!
I don’t even know who I’ll pick if Litten turns into that beefcake…

Pokemon Generations is Apparently a Thing, is Amazing
So, uh, I don’t really know here these have come from, but Nintendo and Pokemon are putting out a series of cartoon shorts that explore some of the behind-the-scenes world of Pokemon. I think these are also based more on the games than the show, which sounds good to me! These Pokemon Generations shorts are just fascinating. And really high quality.
Three episodes have been release so far and they’re great!

More From the World of Virtual Reality Gaming
Say what you will about The Fine Bros. on Youtube, but they’re my No. 1 source for cool virtual reality technology. I totally wanna play something like this, but for now, it’s fun to live vicariously through these Internet people.
The game is as basic as they come, but in the world of virtual reality, it’s another universe! I wanna be a space pirate!
