So, I learned in physics class at school in the UK that the value of acceleration due to gravity is a constant called g and that it was 9.81m/s^2. I knew that this value is not a true constant as it is affected by terrain and location. However I didn't know that it can be so significantly different as to be 9.776 m/s^2 in Kuala Lumpur for example. I'm wondering if a different value is told to children in school that is locally relevant for them? Or do we all use the value I learned?

The point of Rotom as far as i can tell is that it inspirits devices that have a 'special motor' in them. This is mentioned in many of its pokedex entries, even so far as to say that it can only use a specific model of discontinued washing machine (this also raises questions about the origin of this motor).

But this doesn't explain its ability to inhabit devices like the pokedex since its very clear they wont have a motor like the other appliances.

I wonder if this element of Rotom's design is being lost, because looking up rotom fan-made forms show lots of cool and creative ideas, but most to none have actual motors in them.

If I were to suggest Rotom forms, I would go with;

Blender - Steel type

Garbage disposal - Poison type

Jackhammer - Ground type

Discoball - Fairy

Printer- Normal

Running Machine/ motorised combat aide? - Fighting

Not sure with Bug, Dragon, Dark, Rock and Psychic.

Let's hear about some games you maybe were told were not worth your time, or had bad reviews but you managed to love regardless.

I'll go first. I'm not embarrased to admit that I played the shit out of Elder Scrolls Blades (the easily forgettable Skyrim-esque mobile game). I had to wait for it to release on Switch which had the benifit of the shitty timers being gone by then.

Once I started to think of it as a kind of advanced 'Swords and Sandles' type game I was hooked.
