      • If you can shell out 2000 bucks and be confident that they’ll take your games.

        But seriously, this is super open. I’m really excited to see where this goes.

        • they’re all 3D Action Adventure games
          The First one is about a group of super-powered youths who come together and fight off a evil entity known as Mech who plans to use his parasitic robots to enslave the world (but there’s a real foe near the end, a evil shadow virus from a dark dimension who hailed from ancient technologically advanced world yadda yadda can’t be explained briefly)

          the next one is the game’s sequel where they’re inducted by a ancient celestial race known as the Cronics who govern time and a rogue one recreates a time traveling sword in hopes to rewrite time by eradicating it, so You must Re-recreate the same blade and duel him to bring justice

          and lastly is a story of Knights and Squires and you play as Danny squire to the famed Red Knight Apollo, in their lore the Red Knight is selfless brave and heroic….buuuut this generation’s Red Knight is a vain attention hogging womanizer (Think Zapp Brannigan but voiced by Patrick Warburton) but during the great tournament a dark wizard enters his Shadow Knight into the contest and violently wins so you must find a way to stop him

  14. Guess what I just discovered! using my -intellectual- powers, I discovered leaks for the GEN 8 game!

    Name of the game will be; POKEMON SUMMER/WINTER

    Name of Professor will be; PINE

    Amount of Pokemon discovered; 110

    Region based off of; Iceland.

    New Team, there, will be called Team Pirate.

    Gyms return however, they’ll be a bit different and there’ll be 10 gyms.

    Gyms’ types in order: (Water, Rock, Bug, Psychic, Fairy, Normal, Steel, Ghost, Dragon, Fighting)

    Reply

      • Nah there are certain gym leaders. However, the game has certain twists;

        – All Ice types are only available in Winter, all Fire types are only available in Summer.

        – In total, Pokedex will only have 777 Pokemon.

        – There’ll be a lot of Ice, Fire, Psychic, Ghost types, moderate amount of Grass, Flying, Rock, Ground and Steel types, barely any Dark and Fairy types, and none of the other types.

    • I’m staying as far away from pokemon winter as I can, I hate winter and everything related to it, it’s only redeeming quality it’s that baroque composition, everything else sucks.

      Also team pirate… what kind of name is that :v

  22. So me and my brother are gonna build our own decks to play each other. I know he’s planning to base his deck around a Machamp EX mostly. On top of that I have a sneaking suspicion that he’ll also have a Mewtwo EX in there. I’m thinking about making a deck that uses a couple of Darkrai EXs I have and possible using a Psychic type to take out the Machamp. I’ve never actually built a deck before (and neither has he) so I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything I’ll need to have a decent deck. Even if it’s not all that great compared to his in the end I’d like to have a deck that ins’t complete trash. Is Psychic/Dark a decent combo for a deck? I was also thinking about incorporating some colorless Pokemon to help fill out the deck as they’ll be super flexible, but then that’d give me a pretty decent disadvantage against his Fighting type Pokemon. Anyone with tcg experience have any suggestions and or guidance? lol
