    MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK

    Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: You Pick the Trade Edition

    If you want to suggest a trade paperback, you need to send an email to podcast@majorspoilers.com. That suggestion will go into the hopper and at least once a month, we’ll pick a number of suggestions for you to vote on, and at the end of the polling period, the book with the most votes will get the Major Spoilers Podcast treatment.

    DISCUSSION:
    WANDERING ISLAND
    Wandering Island is a retro flying adventure in the spirit of Hayao Miyazaki. With eight pages in color, this special edition features an extended wraparound cover with French flaps.

    Mikura Amelia is a free-spirited young woman who lives alone with her cat and operates an air delivery service, flying her vintage seaplane to Japan’s small island communities located hundreds of miles out in the Pacific.

    When her beloved grandfather passes away, she discovers he left her an undelivered parcel, addressed to an island that doesn’t exist . . . or does it? To answer the question, Mikura flies off in search of the truth behind the Wandering Island!

      While I understand Matthew’s apprehension when it comes to completionist based games, I would like to point out that that hasn’t been a focus of Pokemon, at least in the main games, in more than a decade. Back when Ruby and Sapphire came out, you could trade your pokemon to it from Gold/Silver, and many prior generation pokemon couldn’t be caught in them. For this reason, they dropped the “Gotta Catch Em All” slogan, and it hasn’t been seen since. Catching them all is still a thing you can do, but it’s been far less emphasized. Pokemon X/Y even had a bunch of NPCs that followed you on your journey that had a variety of goals other than “Gotta Catch Em All”.

      Pokemon Go also isn’t conducive to “catching them all”. Getting a pokemon to be more powerful relies on you running into the same kind of pokemon a lot, not a variety of pokemon.
