That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn’t support surround anyway.

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I’m sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn’t know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn’t included.

Because it doesn’t fit the design of the game.

Pokemon Go is meant to be played while walking around outside. This means you can’t have a lot of text because glare from the sun will make it too hard to read. The real battle system also requires more congnitive load than most people can handle while walking and takes too long which will lead to people stopping for extended periods of time at which point you’re no longer playing a pedometer game.

Pokemon is second-party, the publisher (Nintendo) owns part of the IP but they don’t own the developer (Gamefreak).

I had heard that the original Fallout/Wasteland was based on GURPS.

Crystal either needed to be cheap enough to enable combos or be a target for an anthem effect since she decreases the number of matches where you wouldn’t draw your anthem. Putting her in surfer range seems great.

Shanna at 3 lets you do Kazaar > Blue Marvel > Mystique + Shanna which might be good. Shanna + three 1-drops might be an decent T6 option too. Probably playable but she’s been bad so long that people probably won’t give her a chance unless they overbuff her and roll her back like Enchantress.
