Scott the Woz has caught people's attention recently, and with content like this, I can see why.
This is really creative. I wish I had this amount of creativity.

Can I also say how much I adore Litten?
Emo Cat that has trust issues. Litten is honestly the best of the unevolved Alolan starters.
What a Shame.

Why does Waifu Culture rule Fire Emblem (Awakening onwards) and Xenoblade?

So, I was playing Pokemon Reborn, and I just reached the start of the Amaria/Titania unhealthy relationship bullcrap.
I'm taking the path where
SpoilerTaka lives and Amaria doesn't become a yandere.
I hope after this, both Amaria and Titania, as Lord Masahiro Sakurai would put it, never ask me for anything ever again.
I mean, It's worse in the Alternate path, where Taka dies and Amaria tries to drown the MC. Either way, I can't imagine this as being something anyone would want to be caught in the middle of. You end up feeling guilty even if you did nothing wrong when the whole thing is over (except for maybe reading the diary, but come Version 16, and you can choose not to. Then it's technically Titania's fault, because she wrongfully accused you).

Recently, I've been fascinated with the Idea of Pokemon Trainers using their talents to become Mercenaries.
Take Jobs, beat down serious criminals that aren't petty like team skull, and probably get cash for it too.
But if Criminals use Pokemon to commit crimes, are the Pokemon responsible as well? It's not like its their fault their trainer used their power to commit first degree murder?
I could make this into a fangame... but College life is tough.

I honestly find the tale of a fantasy setting more compelling when the Main Character has grown up in that type of setting, rather than being thrust into that world due to an inter dimensional portal or something.
It's more compelling because the Main character is not as frustratingly ignorant about the world around them. You can't blame the otherworldly main character, but I honestly find it frustrating.

I think many stories do the throw normal human into fantasy setting thing because they want the watcher/reader to put themselves in the main character's shoes, and since the watcher/reader is equally clueless about the fantasy world as the protagonist is, it should help familiarize them in the simplest way possible (such as learning from trial and error or having someone tour you around). Prolly the reason you get frustrated with it is because it's been done way too much in fantasy

Can someone please recommend me an anime that's circus themed?
That's not Karneval, Black Butler: Book of Circus, or Poorly written or Animated, or relies excessively on "Fanservice" and "Plot" (You know what I mean by this. Don't try acting as if you don't.)
(And don't you dare try recommending Midori: Shojo Tsubaki. That Anime Scarred me as a teenager. Even now, It's difficult to stomach.)

Doesn't take place in a fantasy world, or has a main character who ends up joining because of a chance encounter (or Destiny, or perhaps a debt to pay?), or has bad guys to fight.
I guess I could give it a look, but it looks nothing like the anime I was looking for. My mistake. Next time I should be more specific.
Honestly, I would be fine if it had a premise that's Like Karneval or Book of Circus. The only reason I excluded those two was because I've already watched them. Bonus points if the Main character is initially unwilling to join the circus. More bonus points if the Main character is a street rat who steals for a living. Cliche? Maybe. But honestly, I don't care about a cliche'd premise as long as you can do something substantial with it.

owo I didn't know you were looking for a specific anime plot, I thought you were looking for recommendations lol
It doesn't take place in a fantasy world- it takes place in America. The protagonist is a Japanese girl who's trained all her life to be part of a famous circus called Kaleido Stage, and finally she left her home to travel to America in pursuit of her dream. She's talented, but the circus' level is something and she has to work hard to prove herself.
So not any of the bonus point things, but still a lovely anime in my opinion

In my honest opinion, Final Fantasy never really got Storytelling in games right until 6.
But then 6 came, and the story was just... beautifully told.

8 year old me was obsessed with Pokemon.
But 8 year old me probably never could beat Pokemon Reborn.

12 year old me had a shot. 8 year old me never cared about Toxic stalling, Stats, or how Burns lowered your attack. All it was to me was "choose your pokemon, pick the super effective move, and kill the target. Also level everyone up to 100. Swords Dance doesn't do damage, therefore it is useless. Calm Mind and Nasty Plot are in the same boat."
8 year old me was able to beat Final Fantasy 6 on my brother's old SNES emulator, as well as 7 on my Playstation 2, so that's something, right? Just pick the weapon with the highest stats. Fire Dance is always a better option than Aurabolt because Sabin learns it at a later level. Comet Materia is better than Ultima Materia because it looks cooler. It also does the same damage as Meteorain. If I was able to beat those games while being so stupid, what was the point of Mystic Quest again?

At least your younger self hopefully didn't have the same packrat/hoarder mentality I did, where I never even used consumable items between E4 battles. It's a wonder I completed any E4's, but somehow I did all of Gens 1 through 3 on pure beserker mode..........with enough time and punching the same wall
-
@ShadeStrider same. Also don't forget the classic "use only two pokemon with four underlevelled fodder because f grinding". My final team was basically just level 50-something Empoleon and Luxray with as many attacking moves as I could get, and a level 45 lucario for spice.

In my Teenage years, I loved this abridged series. It was funny, clever, and had a great cast.
I still cry because there is no episode 7.
At least Faulerro is still alive. He does the voice for Vincent Valentine in Team Four Star's Final Fantasy VII machinabridged.

Despite all the weaboo crap that the game has, I genuinely do love Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It’s not as good as XC1, but it’s still a very fun game. Even if it has a bunch of faults, such as the slow beginning, the host of Shonen Cliches, Spirit Cruciple Elpes, And Chapter 4.
I’m genuinely Sad that Rex isn’t in Smash. If he does indeed have a chance of being DLC, then I’ll hold on to it.

The Salazar boss fight in Resident Evil 4 is like the Diababa boss fight in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight princess.
They both involve blasting the center while massive tentacle like things attack you. Both take place on Gamecube games that have impressive graphics for their time.
They both also look intimidating, but are ridiculously easy for those with quick fingers.
Also the Music for both is awesome. But Salazar's battle theme is better. It's definitely my favorite Resident Evil 4 track.
