!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

You don't become the most profitable IP of all time without a few tricks, lol
Tbf, that's not driven solely by their game sales. Both my kids literally wearing Pokemon clothes right now, lol
The (recent) games are just ads for the mech. It's why they're so cheap-looking and buggy.
Agreed. I'm glad I'm at least playing the older games in front of my kids. My 4yo loves Swanna, Haxorus and Volcarona from recently playing White and nobody has any idea what she's talking about except me. Lol
Genuinely surprised by fist of the north star, like it's totally badass, so deserved. But it's not really kid friendly.
Maybe that's why it's not merch heavy
