That "short hiatus" is the source of the problem we're pointing out.

The end of 08 works as a great twist ending for everything that happens up until that point, but I think there’s a lot of importance in the fact that we knew that wasn’t The End. Dark as the ending is, the final say of 08 is hope—Mata Nui vows to return—and we knew that the story was continuing the very next year, so they were going to follow up on that hope very soon. To say that G1 should’ve ended there and Bara Magna should’ve been G2 implies that there would have been some sort of wait in between, and if it went like the actual span between G1 and G2, we’d have no idea when or even if it would be coming back. If the story were to just end with making everything awful and giving one promise of hope, only to leave us hanging with not a single word on what might happen next, when we might see what happens next, if something is even going to happen next, that just would not be a good idea. We’d have spent those years of radio silence thinking over how everything our heroes did was meaningless, learning that no matter what you do you can’t stop the forces of evil. That’s a terrible ending. And then, when Bara Magna G2 did roll around, odds are most former fans would be so jaded with the series and its lesson in cosmic futility that they would not care to invest any time and money in this new line. It wouldn’t have run any longer than G1 Bara Magna, if even that long.
G1 definitely got edgy, but the ending of 08 did serve a purpose. If you let it end there just for the sake of that edginess, it robs the franchise of any and all meaning it otherwise had.

How are you?

Thanks!

That's awesome! Congrats, man!

I was thinking of writing a big epic, and potentially doing a casting call prior to starting to see if anyone wanted to guest star. Still need to hammer out a few details, but I felt I had enough here to start getting people considering it.

Sword, shield, or staff?

He bought it used off another Scholar

I thought this post was about the revival of the contests BZP held in conjunction with the Olympics in years past, and I am now disappointed.

Thank you! I'll send it over momentarily!

Oh did they announce that already? I wonder what...
*one Google search later*
OH
This is a good weekend.

Killing a Barraki is the only ethical way to interact with them.

That's the original Skull Slicer and his dog.
Obviously.
That dog has a face for a tail.

Tempting, but I think I'll wait. I was able to get this far without trades so I feel like I want to complete it that way, I guess?

Obviously National. Do I look like some kind of non National Dex using scrub?
*gasps, hugs my 20 Pokedexes close, and backs away slowly*

You don't specify if it's National Pokedex or a Regional Dex, so I don't know how to evaluate this. Canada is either:
-Mewtwo (National)
-Magby (Gen II Johto)
-Tropius (Gen III Hoenn)
-Palkia (Sinnoh)
-Tauros (Gen IV Johto)
-Zekrom (Unova)
-Floatzel (New Unova)
-Haxorus (Central Kalos)
-Lapras (Coastal Kalos)
-Zygarde (Mountain Kalos)
-Kecleon (Gen VI Hoenn)
-Poliwhirl (Alola)
Please clarify.

Well this is a conundrum.
I could either make a "swell" pun, or say Swellow itself is Hoennian Pidgey.
*sits down to think*
-
If you were to pick any one Pokemon to receive a new regional variant (Alolan or otherwise), which one would it be?
-
...What?

Quite an illuminating analysis!

It says we decide our roles in the Tribe PM, but do we get to choose which Tribe we want or is that random?

But if Sinnoh is on the Switch I won't be able to play it D:

Looks like fun! I suppose it's too early to reserve a spot?

I really shouldn't be surprised by this.
I'm gonna go read that now.
