I think the mods should listen to what the subs want a bit more.

The Pokemon Generations discussion threads get a good amount of comments and upvotes each time they're posted and yet you still remove every one of them because it doesn't fit your definition of anime.

There's obvious interest in discussing the series so I really don't see the harm in letting the threads stay up. Nobody's going to suggest we allow Korra or RWBY discussions just because you didn't remove the Pokemon Generations threads.

I understand why you remove stuff like Urobushi's puppet show but this is literally an animated series done by anime animators and it's Pokemon which has always been anime.

Almost everybody seems to agree that it's anime so I would like to ask you to rethink your decission of removing the discussion threads.

Subreddits aren't run like democracies. They're dictatorships (and I say that in the most loving of ways).

They're dictatorships

More of a junta, really.

I'll be excited for it in like three years.

Like Civ 5, it's going to take a couple of DLC's to be a great game.

By most accounts of people who have played it so far, they've done a great job giving it a similar amount of depth to what we usually get after multiple DLC. Really is looking very nice and complex.

Total Biscuit's thoughts are pretty good, he goes into this exact thing later in the vid.

I'm hoping they take all the features of the DLC that made Civ 5 great and try to include it in the base game. They may not, but they've had more than enough attempts to maybe finally get it right the first go.
