Good news is that Pokemon Masters gives us evidence that regular Sun/Moon is cannon, not the Ultra crap. Bad news is that Pokemon Masters is still not a very good game.

So if Titania's Aegislash faints, would she still be able to wield its unconscious body as a weapon?

Calling it now. Ash beats Raihan and takes his place in the top 8 just in time for the final tournament. The other 7 are Leon, Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Alder, Diantha...
.......and Tobias.

TFW Celeste didn't visit your island on the night of a meteor shower (like she's apparently SUPPOSED to) so you miss a ton of star fragments simply because you didn't know any better. And no I'm not time travelling to fix that, time travelling is for cheaters.
...Okay maybe I'll time travel if we get to April 19 and I still haven't found any Aries star pieces.

In the new Animal Crossing, do weeds still = bad? The fact that they have uses makes me want to say no, and I like the way they look now, but if they still make your villagers unhappy I need to know otherwise I'd keep them.

My thoughts on the new Death Note manga oneshot (spoiler safe)
First of all I should mention how I've seen a lot of people say it's bad because "it doesn't have the epic back-and-forth cat-and-mouse game like the original". If you were expecting or hoping for something like that from a oneshot issue, you were being silly. I thought it was good for what it was, aside from two big missteps.
SpoilerThe first (and lesser) problem is that Near basically does nothing. That'd be fine, if he was just there for two or three pages where he decides he has no way of catching the new main character and leaves. But no, he and his officer buddies take up exactly 20 pages (I counted) which is almost a quarter of the whole issue. They could have either cut out most of that and focused on the main character more, or invested more into Near's involvement and had it lead up to something more than "I give up lol".
Even then I really liked the manga overall until the end. The ending is the REAL problem. It kinda spits in the face of the whole series: the Death Gods literally make up a new rule at the very last second and don't tell the main character about it, so he dies even though he did everything right. What's worse is that there's some bad design in the manga itself: it seems to show that the rule was changed WHILE the guy still had the Death Note and was still never told about it, which actually breaks an existing rule of the Death Gods being up front about their own rules. It's only after going back and re-reading the page carefully that you realized they covered their bases in saying Ryuk didn't change the rule until after the kid gave it up. Even still, it's dumb and only exists to reach the pre-decided endpoint of "the main character always dies". At least almost everyone but him has a happy ending I guess?
Other than those two things I really liked it. I would like to see another oneshot after this, because it leaves the world in an... interesting geopolitical state.
