And now that we're at the subject of Minecraft, how come there's no social group based around it (I checked to be certain, but no group with Minecraft in their name popped up)? If it did exists, was it a victim of the social group cleanup sometimes ago?</blockquote>

Anyway, now that I got your attention, let's have a look at the trailer for the new game from the Pokémon Direct.<br />

<br />
<br />
First, we meet Pikachu, standing on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.<br />
<br />
Look at around 7:36. Notice the sign to the right of the road saying &quot;3&quot;. That would indicate that we'll start at a new region once again not following the same route number system from gen 1 to 4, indicating that the region is far away from all the others, just like Unova is.<br />
<br />
At 7:41, we see in the background a tower resembling the Eiffel Tower. Also notice the architecture on some of the buildings. Now look at the part I wrote where we see Pikachu on top of the Eiffel Tower. The new region will most likely then be based on one in France where Paris is located.<br />
<br />
*not so lame theory ended*<br />
<br />
Also, inline skates instead of bicycles or running shoes?<br />
<br />
EDIT: sorry guys and girls, didn't see the new subforum about the new games, so please ignore this blog :sweatlol:</blockquote>

They had to take a blood sample instead of using the usual breathalyser since he couldn't breathe properly in his drunken state.<br />
<br />
This isn't first time this is happening with Russian captains here in Denmark and probably not the last time either. We've had risks of coasters crashing into bridges and even other ships! But why are they doing that anyway, especially since they'll risk getting banned from entering Danish territory ever again, thus possibly ruining their career? At least that's what might happen to the captain from yesterday...</blockquote>
