I'm thinking a sort of Breath of the Wild kind of change to the series. I think Pokemon could really benefit from it.

Just give us Breath of the Wild, but with Pokemon.

I've also wanted a more action-oriented Pokemon series where you just got to control a Pokemon and fight and stuff. Imagine an open-world, zero-human Pokemon wilderness where the hills were crawling with different Pokemon. You could pick a starter or something, then travel around exploring for some reason. Maybe have something like shrines in BotW, but doing enough gets you the ability to add a new Pokemon to your team? Or each shrine just gives you a new Pokemon? IDK.

There would be perhaps a limit on the amount of your team that could go with you at any time. Run around as a Ponyta, climb a mountain as a Mankey, fly across a gorge as a Spearow, dive through lava as a Magmar...

An exploration based game with a solid action combat system that had the same sort of collection-based world as BotW would be great.

Why is a trade deficit a bad thing?

This.

I literally do not think that Donald Trump understands what a trade deficit is.

Buying more from a country than we sell to them doesn't mean we are "losing". It could mean we are greatly benefiting from the products that they offer that we don't produce ourselves.

It can be bad in the sense that money is being exported at a quicker rate than it is being imported so the nation is becoming poorer.

Of course this ignores other factors, including that money is a relatively useless resource to own.

Cares more in an absolute sense, sure, cares more relative to past administrations, not really.

Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru

The first part of that list was okay, even if you don't agree with the first two Trump did accomplish them. The last half made it look like they were struggling for more points, one isn't even an accomplishment that Trump did, unless he told the judges to say that which kind of ruins the point.

North and South Korea abandon quarter-final clash to form unified team at ITTF World Championships

https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1064646/north-and-south-korea-abandon-quarter-final-clash-to-form-unified-team-at-ittf-world-championships

I personally think it's ridiculous that a new team is being formed part way through a competition. Sure it's nice that they are getting along, but it must be against some kind of rules.

I don't think anyone will argue it. It probably weakens their team anyway.

Any dissenters will likely be silenced, but Japan will definitely not be happy (especially if Korea defeats them).

I'm not sure why you would think the team would be weaker. North Korea did reach the quarter-finals. Yes on paper South Korea is better, but the North's best players outdo the South's worst players.

This would be like if the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins decide not to play against each other and instead decide to combine their team.

Destroys their chemistry late in the process.

Maybe a team sport wasn't the best example. Chemistry matters less in single matches, plus it can go the other way for the Koreans if they support each other.

Trump postpones decision on imposing steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada to June 1

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/steel-tariffs-deadline-1.4641458

Canada's exemption period was officially set to end at midnight April 30. But late Monday, Trump decided to give Canada, Mexico and the European Union another month to work out a deal with the Americans.

The Trump administration issued a statement saying it had come to a final agreement with South Korea on steel imports and had reached agreements in principle on steel and aluminum with Argentina, Australia and Brazil.

http://www.newsweek.com/nearly-60-percent-republicans-dont-want-woman-president-lifetime-poll-902254

tl;dr is that 89% of democrats, 63% of independents, and 41% of Republicans want to see a woman President.

Given the politics of the rest of the world the first female US president will likely be Republican. It'll be interesting to see how those people react.

Kirby is a series with consistent and popular releases. It's at ~3X Metroid series sales.

A combination of number of games and sales is probably a better way to measure popularity. Madden is one of the best selling franchises ever, but it is also released every year. Metroid is released at a rate of ~1 per console while Kirby averages at around 3.

Splatoon series sales are slowing catching up to Metroid series sales. About two million behind.

Despite Samus and Metroid's popularity on GameFAQs and other sites the series doesn't do well in the sales department (relative to other Nintendo series).

It's more Kirby than Zelda.

Campaigning in Arizona/Georgia/Texas made sense in a long term plan for the Democrats. It backfired here, but it can still be a long-term gain if Republicans don't regain their support.

Though as more red states become purple the more common it will be for Democrats to win the popular vote and lose the election.
