  1. i’d really like it if they gave all the starters an exclusive z move. not all of tem their own, but one of each type, that only works for starters.

  3. I actually really liked this Generations episode, it showed us a realistic view point of Primal Kyogre. I thought that it wouldn’t make any sense for Kyogre to drown the world, yet after seeing this is looked very possible, changing wind currents, creating hurricanes, etc.I thought that was a really good job with the animators.

  5. So GBC could play GB games.
    GBA could play GBC games.
    DS could play GBA games.
    3DS could play DS games.
    Switch is confirmed to not be backwards compatible.

    So…does that mean that the Switch is not supposed to be considered the successor to the 3DS; that Nintendo will bring out a separate new handheld to replace it a few years down the line?

    • I am not sure it has been confirmed the switch is not backwards compatible, but it is the most likely scenario that everybody believes

        • We already know it accepts cartridges of some kind, but so far there is nothing to indicate that both screens (TV and portable) can be used in conjunction with each other.

          Reply

          • No to what?
            We know it definately takes cartridges, someone was shown inserting a cartridge during the trailer.
            The main console is the bit attached to the screen, but that plugs into a TV, and as I said, so far all the games shown only used one screen.

          • I knew about the backwards compat, not about the dual screen thing though.
            I wasn’t expecting them to do either, I was just pointing out what we had evidence of.

    • Nintendo confirmed 3 things

      It’s not backwards compatible
      It’s a home console first and foremost
      Double screen gaming like the wiiu is not possible.

          • I know Cam and I’m from the country right above Pharap’s (and they’re also technically the same country but Ayyyyyyyyy it’s more like America and its States)

          • It’s funny how we all consider England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland as countries but the rest of the world views them differently 😛

            Not sure I’m happy with the comparison to America’s states though, it’s much deeper than that. A couple thousand years deeper 😛

          • Yeah. What really bothers me is when people think England and Britain are the same thing aside from being unfair on the other three (i.e. the typical “you’re not British though, you’re from Scotland” comment) it also party undermines/waters down England’s specific culture and means the cross of St George gets less recognition. So it’s a lose-lose situation 😛

          • Yeah Scottish people get really offended by it but it has a negative impact on all four countries. I’d say Wales gets it worst though since it’s the least famous of the four tho and thus people don’t understand its culture or that it even has culture as well as Scotland, Ireland and England

            Also whenever someone says someone has a ‘British’ Accent

            https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c11816a3ad0f0d9263492f98f3c3ad5fd878ed9adb32a54b2133f2be5d1e25dd.gif

          • Yeah. At least they have Tom Jones I guess? 😛

            Ireland gets the best end of the deal since most Americans of Irish descent remember that fact and make a big deal of it. Though I do get the impression they have a fairly stereotypical view of what Ireland is like. *avoids mentioning the troubles*

            Ah, the accent thing…
            “Oh so you’re from Britain? Does that mean you have one of those cute little British accents?”
            “I have a British accent, but certainly not the one you’re thinking of.”
            XD

          • There’s a decent amount of Scottish Americans but they just seem to care about the fact they can claim some sort of descent from somewhere that isn’t America :p

            Yeah and the thing is when you explain the fact that Britain doesn’t have a universal accent they then jump to the idea of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales having universal accents

          • A lot of Americans have English blood too, but they don’t tend to care much about that. Irish always seems to get pride of place 😛

            I just throw dramatic accents at them as much as possible (my favourites to send are geordie, scouse, brumy, cockney, west country and bristolian).

            (I must admit, I’m not as good with telling Scots accents apart since most of my relatives are from the same sort of area in and around Glasgow and I only see one of them regularly anyway.)

          • “Films, television cartoons and advertising have popularised a specific
            image of leprechauns which bears scant resemblance to anything found in
            the cycles of Irish folklore. Irish people can find the popularised
            image of a leprechaun to be little more than a series of stereotypes of the Irish”

            Leprecauns also originally wore red, not green.

            Dreams shattered yet? 😛

          • I’ve read a lot of lore from various cultures. Leprechauns have drastically changed over the years just like most folklore/fairy tale creatures. You must have dreams for them to be shattered. Haha!

          • Dreams, novelty merchandise, same difference.

            Besides, every region has its own variant. The leprecaun of the Irish is just the brownie of the Scottish and English and the bucca of the Welsh and Cornish.

          • The lines are blurred, but originally gnomes were supposed to dwell underground and brownies/Heinzelmännchen are house dwelling variants 😛

            Things get really messy and blurred though. I blame the brothers Grimm and their anthropomorphic sausages.

          • I know! My grandma was born in Germany so she used to tell me all the stories she grew up with. I like the muddy/clay versions of gnomes before they hit the anthropomorphic/humanistic qualities. (I just like diminutive creatures. They’re usually very dark and ominous creatures.)

          • Yeah, luckily the mud thing still gets through some times, gnomes are often given earth element powers in games (e.g. Magical Starsign).

            I’m suddenly wanting to (re)play the Minish Cap… And am also reminded of Lilliput – Jon Swift was Irish after all 😛

            As an aside, I have a copy of a version of the Grimm’s fairytales somewhere. I wasn’t joking about the anthropomorphic sausages, at least three of the stories have a walking, talking sausage as a main character XD

          • Whenever I see a gnome with Earth abilities I squeal with excitement, because it’s a homage to their origin! (i.e.Gnomes from Tales of
            Symphonia)

            I’ll have to reread my Grimm collection. I mean walking sausages do sound like a thing those two would come up with or steal(Lesbihonest lol).

            I never got to play Minish Cap, but it’s on my buy list for the Wii U eshop. Lol

          • Tales of Symphonia is one of those games I always wanted but never managed to get hold of.
            There was another game that did it that I was thinking of but I can’t remember what it was called. I’m currently digging around spriter’s resource to see if I can find something that will jog my memory 😛

            I distinctly remember a story where a sentient sausage cuts bits off itself to make dinner for its two friends. Weird stuff 😛

            It’s easy enough to run on an emulator (depending on how much the eshop version would be).
            Minish cap was my first Zelda game.
            One of the people I knew said it was underwhelming, but personally I prefer it to the original and some of the ‘classics’ like Links Awakening and the original Legend of Zelda. It’s got story, it’s got direction and its got a good set of tools to hand.

          • Well, a British accent is from Britain, no need for the rest of the world to know what Welsh/Scottish accents sound like

          • It is kinda insensitive though, it’s denying a country of its culture

            And just saying ‘a British accent’ is dumb because there’s no country in the first place that just has one accent

          • Technically ‘a British accent’ should be an indefinite article but often it is used as if it were a definite article.

            Either way, the point stands about it being quite insensitive. It would be the equivalent of us thinking a californian accent was from the deep south and not caring if we’d got it wrong.

          • Then following your logic you want people to be able to precisely say where the hell the accent comes from? By saying “British accent” it’s implying the accent comes from there, not that everyone speaks like that. I swear some people like you like to complicate and see problems in everything

          • It’s not that, it’s the way a lot of people assume that there’s only one British accent and it’s the kind that appears in Hollywood films that less than 1% of the population of Britain actually has.

            There’s loads of people who have never even heard of geordie, cockney, scouse etc

          • Funny, you’re the one complicating things.

            I don’t care if someone doesn’t know where my accent comes from, and I’m not asking that lol, becuase why would a random American know what a North-Eastern Scot sounds like? I’m just saying I wish people would be a bit more respectful towards other cultures and if they get something wrong, and not just over generalise cultures.

            But of course, respect is haaaaaaaard when all it would require is to make the mistake and then get corrected.

          • Hey Britain has exotic things too

            like my city has a strip club, an adult shop, and what I can assume is a brothel in disguise right in the open in a major street

          • Exotic – “Foreign, especially in an exciting way.”

            I dare say Britain is capable of being exciting. We have stonehenge, loch ness, glastonbury festival and many many nice castles.

            Failing that you can always wander into town on the night Millwall loose a football match and try to get away unscathed.

          • Trying to escape any British city after any relevant football team loses is hell

            Thank God I live in what’s basically the suburbs because if I lived in the city centre or near the stadium I’d probably throw myself off the cliffs XD

          • We have a stadium, but it’s pretty small and I don’t think we’ve ever hosted anything interesting.

            Same, the centre of town is a 15-25 minute drive away (depending on traffic :P). I’ve only ever been in town past midnight twice, and those two were more than enough XD

          • Surprisingly enough despite being one of the most noteworthy cities in Scotland (and you’d probably know what it is it you’re in the UK but it’s not particularly impactful), I’ve been in the city a good amount of times after midnight and I’ve been fine.

          • Nothing bad happened it was just not that nice, and I’m not that trusting of people here anyway, we’ve had a few notable murders and cases of missing persons. In contrast my town is small and not very noteworthy.

  18. Ok so I have an issue with Alola already… 😛 not really a serious one, but there is a food chain in the demo that has Slurpuff as its mascot and in one of the trailers with Mimikyu there is an abandoned store with a swirlix as its mascot and yet according to the leaks neither of them can be found in Alola, doesn’t that just seem a little weird considering these pokemon are seemingly popular enough to warrant entire food chains after their design???

    Just a thought I have been having

  19. spoilers regarding the upcoming demo events. nothing actually happens. we don’t really get to do anything, just get an item, small cutscene. heck, the shady deal at the pier isn’t even really a shady deal, and has nothing to do with team skull, aether, etc. now I’m not too concerned about missing them.

  23. So I’ve been thinking. What will A. Dugtrio’s typing be? I imagine it’ll still have ground as part of it, but what does it’s hair change? lol
