Thinking about the 30th anniversary of Pokémon is tough for me. While I have a lot of fond memories, modern Pokémon games have so many flaws that I wonder if my nostalgia is just clouding my judgment. I keep asking myself if I simply enjoyed it more as a child, or if the series has always had these problems. And I wonder if there’s any hope for the future of Pokémon after so many disappointments. These thoughts run through my head even as I try to relax by listening to the music from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. But after a lot of consideration, I think I’ve finally found some answers.
The Court of Owls first appeared in the 2011 Batman storyline, but it was revealed they’d secretly controlled Gotham City since its very beginning. This group of powerful and corrupt citizens used undead assassins called Talons to manipulate events from the shadows, remaining hidden even from Batman. Now, DC Comics has completely reinvented the Court for a darker universe. In Absolute Batman #17, readers meet the Absolute Court of Owls, which is significantly different from the original. Shockingly, Bruce Wayne’s own mother, Martha Wayne, is revealed to be one of its members.

The manga series Young Guns Boarders, which started in Shonen Jump+ last July, centered around the world of snowboarding. After a short run, the series concluded with its sixteenth chapter, wrapping up the story of the “Young Guns” snowboard team. Set at a Japanese ski resort, the story followed three friends trying to enjoy a relaxed life until they get caught up in a crime. Snowboarding hasn’t been a frequent subject in manga, making it disappointing that Young Guns Boarders ended before it had a chance to become a prominent series in the genre.
The special, The Promised Land, turned out to be the final Red Dwarf TV release when UKTV decided to stop making scripted comedies. Although Red Dwarf remained popular, it seemed the show was over.
