In the long time I’ve spent running this account, I’ve grown both as a reviewer and as a person. And it’s become increasingly apparent that I need to apologize for a long streak of immature behavior regarding this particular series.

I’m sorry for giving Megaman games half star ratings over something as petty as not including Dr. Light x Dr. Wily yaoi.

It’s childish, it’s messing with the average review score, and above all else, it’s a really superficial way to look at art. I still do not like most of the games in this series but I promise to offer more substantial critique in the future. As a show of good faith, below is my honest review of Megaman 11:

This game fucking sucks because it doesn’t have Dr. Light x Dr. Wily yuri. Keiji Inafune should take his stupid fucking NFTs and shove them up his ass.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are some of the most important releases for the franchise as they were the games able to reverse the trend of declining sales since Gen 1 and prove the series as more than just a passing fad. A remake of a pair of games with so much importance to so many people and I’m happy to say that this one delivered on every front: awesome new content through the revamped underground feature and Ramanas Park, various quality of life improvements that the originals desperately needed, a charming new artstyle that gives the game a distinct feel, and a much welcome return to Diamond and Pearl’s unique localization that was sanded down in the transition to Platinum. The definitive version, hands down.
