How is Everyone Today- New

100% completed Digimon Survive. I did my initial playthrough on release but only just recently started on finishing everything. It's a neat game, janky localization though and honestly nothing can compare to my first playthrough of the game, where I did the Wrathful route.

Isn't it also called Pokemon in Japan as well? Though I guess Pocket Monsters is the more common name there.

The Japanese language shortens things all the time. It's why we have '-ger' in Super Sentai titles (short for 'ranger').

I believe it started as Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), then the US shortened it to Pokemon when they internationalized it. Pokemon is the more famous name worldwide - Japan tends to refer to it as both. For example, the games say ポケットモンスター on the front, but the Pokemon Center stores say Pokemon. I'm not sure how they decide which name to use in which instance.

I go by the Japanese name in this case.

I do admit it's cool to be able to see it without cable or a stream service. Only Journeys is online any more so I use DVD to watch previous series episodes. I'm starting the Cartoon Network run after Advanced Battle which was where we lost the 1st cast from WB and they got the 2nd. Watching Journeys gave me a chance to adjust to the current Ash who was in since Battle Frontier. I need time to get used to the other cast swap overs however.

Well, I hope today goes better for you.

I shipped in the 2018 Tomb Raider relaunch movie which I'll watch it after Cradle Of Life

With movies for numbering I indicate Relaunch when someone restarts the franchise on the big screen.

Hobbs And Shaw will be tagged with a 12 as Fast And The Furious 11 finishes the main line.

TMNT has been relauched 4 times with the upcoming Bay movie. My numbering depends on when the movie released on the big screen. Seth Rogan is relaunching TMNT for a 3rd time. The CG movie was the first relaunch.

I wish I had magic words to make it better, but we're here to listen friend.
