In my country, it's already free from CN. And it's on standard channels. You no longer have to pay for shitty channels!

Now they just need to improve airing times (12:00am, 3:00pm).

I heard it moved on to Boomerang. It's not really "free" from CN but it's a start. 

In the U.S. it's on Disney XD now @CottonCandy

While it's free from its Saturday morning death slot it could also go in the direction,  given how spastic XD's scheduling can be. 

I miss the old days when pokemon aired on over the air broadcast channels. One of the main reasons I stopped following the series after Advanced Battle was the fact that I didn't have cable when the series made the sudden switch to CN.

also pokemon on disney xd feels weird, like naruto on disney xd or dbz kai on nicktoons/ toonzai all those years ago

Thanks.

Be awesome but I doubt it, the advance games have more of a chance tbh.

Those would be great. Tone down the saturation, increase the resolution, and rework the music and that'd be fine.

Assuming that TaxStealth wants to do the Game Gear Sonic games, the only obstacle would be if Sega didn't approve the ports.

Which unfortunately is rather plausible given that the Game Gear games tend to be more obscure, so there's less interest in such ports happening.

Would be a fair bit of work to get them going I imagine since the physics in these games were quite different to the 16-bit ones.  Beyond that they were much smaller and simpler than the more famous games, so it'd be hard to justify the production costs of rebuilding them all from scratch - they couldn't charge a massive amount for them.

Maybe in Spirit Track's case. My problem with Phantom Hourglass was never the controls, it was with the general extreme easiness of the dungeons aside from Temple of the Ocean King, which could fuck right off for entirely different reasons >_>

There's this breakdown of how SEGA's studios have been changed and consolidated over the years that could help you out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_development_studios

The strangest thing is, I think I know exactly what you're talking about.

Historically, slowdowns happen when an engine is pushed to the limit of what it can achieve, and it literally starts to buckle under the weight of the action it's trying to render - so while it can be a source of frustration, it's also a thing we unconciously conflate with a sense of scale, because it's the scale itself that caused slowdown in earlier games.

To put things in perspective - if a boss unleashes an attack so intense that the game literally lags under the pressure, that's usually a sign that you don't want to be in front of it at that time.

(skip to roughly 2:10)

It's also the main reason most enemies tend to pause briefely in games when you hit them, incidentally.

Except in modern games, the frame rate drops usually come in the slow downtime rather than the intense plot relevant moments.
