Switch Reveal Opinion Extravaganza

It’s Dae here! I promised to write up a bit on my opinion on the Switch reveal, but it turned out to be longer than I expected. Therefore I’ll take this opportunity to publish my first article in a couple of years. Enjoy!

Let’s get the conference out of the way first; it was a poor showing. Live shows are usually a hit or a miss and this one was definitely a miss. Awkward, stiff translations as well as weird presentation of games and holding out on information that would entice customers are among my major gripes. The nice thing is that the Zelda trailer was absolutely amazing and Mario and Xenoblade 2 had a good showings too. But Zelda shouldn’t have been the final ‘one more thing’ surprise, everybody expected it to be a launch title already. Rather, I’d have liked a Metroid tease or something along those lines as a finisher for the show.

The lack of distinct games was also apparent. I guess they didn’t want to show games that weren’t prepared for release, but it didn’t show any confidence that they could produce a steady lineup of games for the Switch. People fear a repeat of the Wii U now, and that could really damage the sales of the console. I also wonder what makes the games so sparse at launch. Nintendo hasn’t released a lot of games in the past two years so I would have assumed they were working on new ones. If that isn’t the case, what were they doing all the time? I guess we’ll have to take a wait and see approach here and time will tell if they announce more games.

The games that have been announced do look pretty good though. Zelda is, of course, breathtaking and had one of the best trailers for a game I’ve ever seen. It really hit all the marks on a checklist of ‘how to make the perfect trailer’. Odyssey looks refreshing and can set itself apart from Galaxy so it won’t have the trouble of being compared to its shadow. The real life city may feel a bit uncanny valley, but I actually like the effect it brings out and luckily there’s a whole slew of different environments. Really looking forward to a more sandbox-style Mario again after the more linear games we’ve had in the past ten years. Splatoon 2 looks fresh, although it looks more like an upgraded port instead of a actual sequel, but then again what is a shooter sequel actually? You can’t innovate a lot except for new weapons, new maps, new strategies and a better online infrastructure. I don’t know if it was confirmed or denied, but I hope for online co-op possibility. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also more of a luxury port, but the base game was great and this one will still be lots of fun for parties. I liked the new style of Xenoblade 2 too; it’s a bit different from the previous two but that’s OK in my opinion. Looking forward to hear about those games. 1 2 Switch looks like a fun mini-game collection, but I understand people saying they wanted this to be a pack in title. I don’t expect many people to cough up $50 for it, and I do believe they should have made it a $30 game, but I wouldn’t count on Nintendo rethinking it as a pack-in. I feel like they want to give the impression of it being a top-quality title.

The Switch will launch with only a couple of games, the sparsest it’s ever been for a launch of a console. I think there are a couple of reasons for this. First, you have Nintendo releasing Zelda: BotW. Most who picks up a Switch will pick up Zelda too. That makes for a tough competition from the get-go and games like Skyrim really could suffer from it. That’s why I think some high profile games got delayed last minute when they heard Zelda was making launch. And on the third party side, there a few ports of older games. But then I think, who buys all those ports anyway? Yes, they can make the ports and show ‘confidence’ in the Switch, but neither customers want old ports of uninteresting games they already bought and the publisher won’t make their money back too. It’s sadly a bit of self fulfilling prophecy, as few ports don’t entice customers to buy the console which leads to even fewer ports. But the Switch will all-in-all be a Nintendo and Japanese gaming system, and we just have to have faith in the usual companies to bring over their franchises. In this way I see Switch more as 3DS, with it getting the 3DS like library. With this I mean stuff like Phoenix Wright, Zero Escape… To be successful I think Nintendo just have to push through with being an alternative system, there’s no point to go compete with PS4 and XB1 without bringing some new stuff on the table.

And that brings me to the hardware. I haven’t used the actual hardware itself, but I read many positive impressions. The build quality is great and the looks are top notch. I even find it to have a bit of ‘sex-appeal’. If you search for direct comparison shots between the Switch and Wii U Gamepad, you’ll realize how bad the Gamepad looked and feel like it was made by Fisher-Price. But they did a great job with the Switch. The concept is appealing, and can be demonstrated easily to someone unfamiliar with the console. As a power engineer with some electronics background, I can also tell from all the technical stuff I read that this is the best console they could have built. The processor and graphics card is the most modern one that can power the console for continuous use. Processors in a iPhone 7 or upcoming Galaxy S8 may be faster, but they clock down due to power and heat concerns. The battery is also rather large and takes up a lot of space already, so saying they skimped out on battery is untrue. The battery life might not be a lot, but it’s actually comparable to phones running at 100% load. They also use a lot of modern application like USB C fast charging, Wifi AC, multitouch… Maybe you don’t believe it, but it’s really an impressive piece of tech that is competitive with stuff released today.

We can’t forget about the best parts of the console too: the Joy-Cons. I feel like they are the heart of the console, they are so well designed that the concept of the Switch really shines. Some vendors do have some detachable controllers for a generic tablet, but the from factor, build quality and ease of use are so far ahead that you can really see the ‘Nintendo magic’. Switching (haha, get it?) between docked, portable and table mode is so easy that it gets this wow factor when showing it off to friends. Being able to share a Joy-Con for two players is also nice, even though it doesn’t seem to be the most comfortable thing. But I can assure you, I can pop out my Switch and have some great fun with friends playing Mario Kart 8. The HD Rumble works well too apparently, and I think Nintendo can find some good applications for its use in games. Having some motions controls built in while functioning as traditional controllers is what makes this console combine the best of both worlds. A 20 hour battery life isn’t too shabby either, and you can easily recharge the battery when you dock the console.

This all reflects on the price too, which is indeed a bit expensive. $80 for a pair of Joy-Cons is steep, and far above a regular PS4 or Xbox One controller. Yes, you technically get two, but you’ll be buying them in pairs, because who wants a single lonely Joy-Con? I suspect many games to require a pair of Joy-Cons too, even though I don’t know if it’s possible to connect four pairs of Joy-Con if some game featured four player local multiplayer (Smash Bros?). They feature lots of tech and game companies always want to make money on accesories, but I think it would have been better if they priced it $10 to $15 lowers to reduce the sticker shock effect. The other accessories are expensive too, the Pro Controller is the definitive controller for couch gaming, but it comes with a definitive price as well. Buying extra Joy-Cons don’t even give the same colour straps, which can be bought for $8 seperately. And if you want an extra grip and be able to charge your controllers, which you can’t do with the included grip, it’ll cost you an extra $30. Granted, including it in the box would have upped the box price with another $15. If you want a ‘starters pack’ for new Switch users, you can feel nickel-and-dimed due to the high accessory costs. I wish Nintendo can first address those prices if it seems that it is a barrier to entry.

As for the box itself, I feel the $299 is still a fair price. Based on what I read, I already expected that $249 would be a tough target to reach. $299 is actually reasonable if you know what’s inside and how much things cost in manufacturing, R&D costs, distribution, retail and not to mention bad exchange rate and taxes in Europe. I believe that Nintendo still makes less profit in Europe per console sold, since people always forget that doing business in general is more expensive here due to wages, business taxes and buildings. The real question is actually value sided. It’s not: ‘Is this a fair price to charge’, but: ‘Do I feel like this is a fair price to me’. Nintendo will have to do a good job in selling value to the consumer and needs a clear messaging what it’s actually selling. In that I feel that a comparison with PS4 and generic tablets is not the way to go. Yes, the PS4 is comparable in price and more powerful, but as long as the Switch offers distinctly different features, people may still get enticed to buy. We’ll see if this works out, but I’m not the one who is calling this out as a flop already.

As for myself, I still believe in the Switch and even did save up enough the past two years to go on a crazy shopping splurge. I pre-ordered the Grey console, got the Pro Controllers, the Red/Blue Joy-Cons, the Charging Grip and an extra case. I really felt like that at some point in the future, I would have bought it anyway to play my favorite Nintendo games and therefore it doesn’t matter to me if I buy it sooner. I also want the definitive edition of Zelda, and being able to transport it between my dorm and home is a really big plus to me. I really look forward to most of the first party games that are announced, even though not many details have come out already. The conference damped my enthusiasm a bit, but I think it will be on full fire again closer to March 3rd. I’ll do a technical review of the Switch in six weeks when I get my hands on one, so look forward to reading it here!

This thing has gotten really long now, and I didn’t even touch on all the aspects of the Switch, but I need to wrap up here. If you’d like to have my opinion on an untouched subject, just ask in the comments. I’ll still check them regularly, even though I may not be an active writer anymore 🙂 I’d love to hear your opinion on the Switch too. Are you buying at launch? Holding out a bit? Or have even become uninterested? What do you think of the price? What games can entice you to buy? Tell me in the comments!

Enjoy and you’ll hear back from me when I get my Switch!

  1. Not even worth buying when Zelda is the only noteworthy title available at launch. Best to wait until summer or maybe even after

    Reply
      • Tearsss rather upgrade my rig for that money. I mean I want the Switch but not going to spend that kind of money for just one game. I’ll probably wait it out until at least August

        Reply
        • It’s not for one game though, I was already sure I will get the other games announced at the conference. And the 700 euro figure is including all of the additional stuff I’m buying.
          Here’s a rundown:
          €330 Switch
          €65 Pro Controller
          €75 Extra Joy-Cons
          €30 Charging grip
          €50 128GB Micro SD
          €20 Case

          Games
          €90 Zelda BotW LE
          €60 Zelda BotW Wii U
          €20 Snipperclips
          €20 Fast RMX

          Amiibos & other stuff
          €60 Zelda BotW Amiibos
          €40 Zelda: Arts and crafts

          Which totals a fair bit more than 700 but it includes stuff I’d have bought either way if I didn’t buy a switch or stuff that I don’t really need to buy but am going to either way. Some of the things I get as a present too :).
          I could’ve just went with the 420 euro figure for Zelda, but I saved up enough for it anyway and I the things on the list is stuff I will never regret buying. I still don’t regret my Wii U purchase, even though I agree it was an expensive purchase.

    • In the first month I intend on buying Zelda, BomberMan, SnipperClips, and I Am Setsuna. I play games that look fun not noteworthy.

  2. The unannounced game I look most forward too on Switch is Animal Crossing. It will be the perfect merger for the portable/home console version. The portable ones were usually the best because you could take them everywhere you go, but sometimes you wished to dim the lights in the living room and relax in front of the tv. I really need the game in my life, Animal Crossing always managed to wind me down when I got into stressy periods. 2018 can’t come soon enough.

  3. I think that Stars will be on 3DS, and DP remakes will be on Switch, because Nintendo confirmed that Switch will not substitute the 3DS.

    Reply
    • It doesn’t subsitute the 3DS in the way that the current audience for the 3DS is different than the one for the Switch. They want to keep selling the 3DS as a cheap handheld with many games readily available. The Switch completely replaces the Wii U on the other hand, they don’t want you to know about that anymore.

      Therefore, I expect the next two years that the 3DS will still get marketed and maybe even get a price cut to close to $100, but all the major games will get released on the Switch. They just don’t want to discontinue it already and fear that people won’t buy it anymore.

  4. I’ve already posted my full thoughts a while ago, so I’ll sum it up here.
    ———————————
    Presentation was strong, translator doesn’t effect my enjoyment. Xenoblade 2, Mario Oddysey, and Splatoon 2 are my most hyped announcements. They spent a little too much time with 3rd parties IMO, but I get why they did it. I do agree with you Dae, a release date shouldn’t have been a final surprise. I think Super Mario Oddysey should’ve filled that spot instead. Launch looks weak, but launch period looks fairly strong. MK8 Deluxe shouldn’t be 60 dollars for simply a battle mode and three new purely aethstetic characters. Arms looks fun, but I hope it has enough content to warrant a 60 dollar purchase. 1-2-Switch should’ve been a pack in, there’s no way I’m paying 50 dollars to milk a cow. I loved splatoon 1, so of course I’ll pick up splatoon 2. Xenoblade 2 has me extremely excited, I loved the original and X, so I can’t wait to see what they do with this one! Art style is sorta off putting though. SM Oddysey looks amazing! I’ve been wanting them to go back to sandbox mario games, so I’m glad they’re finally making another one. Overall I think the switch will sell relatively well at launch, but I think it’ll really take off in the holiday season. I also think they need to have a strong E3 to have a strong holiday, as the only Q3 and Q4 game we know of is SM Oddysey.

  5. I personally don’t feel the starting line up are showstoppers (except Breath of the wild, you should’ve seen how petrified I was when I saw it….even drooled a little) but honestly who cares, I know I know games make the system but don’t forget they’ll make new games and have plenty unrevealed in the making, I will still get the switch now and that’ll be good in the long run, I still get use out of my Wii U everyday so I know the switch will do just fine we just have to give it a chance

  6. So I was just working in the lab I got recruited for, and the two grad students were discussing Pokemon Sun and Moon. I’m so glad to be researching with nerds like me 🙂

  7. My opinions 😮

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The presentation was pretty bad. The translator really put me off as funny as he was in hindsight. The spent too much time emphasizing motion controls. That should’ve been a side thing so people wouldn’t distract from that great reveal.

    As far as the system itself, I’m excited! Zelda looks absolutely amazing. Mario looks like pure fun and the idea of switching the console into a handheld is brilliant.

    I think that there is still a chance that there will be a digital game packed in with it. Maybe something similar to 1-2-Switch.

    Accessories are for sure way too expensive though.

  9. If the switch is mobile I have a perpetual fear that my natural desire to bring my tech with me everywhere I go will pose problems like what if I involuntarily sit down with it in my cargo pocket and it bends, what kinda resistance and push does this thing have

  11. Most of the games announced looked great. I am looking forward to Splatoon 2 and ARMS. I think the reason why we didn’t hear about other games is, because 3 months after launch is E3.

  13. Gamexplain said something in a discussion that caught my interest. Since all the trailers and stuff say “Switch Presentation 2017”, do you think that we’ll see one of these every year? Could this be the new format for directs? But then again, we have a direct tomorrow, even though it is game specific.

  14. Since I’m bored at work I want to revisit this idea of mine of that Fighting Type snake inspired by the false Alolan Ekans which was claimed to be a Fighting type

    Comboa
    Fighting
    The Striking Pkm
    Skill Link/Shed Skin HA: Guts
    A red maroon long bodied serpentine Pokemon with an extremely swift and flexible body, they have semi large heads with a headband like crest on their neck, on the very end of their tail is a series of rattle like bands of skin that when it curls its tail it resembles a fist
    “Lacking venom of any kind, This Pokemon strikes and pummels its prey with lightning fast tail strikes and lunges, by curling the end of its tail it can punch through solid glass more than 6 inches thick”

    It gains a new Fighting Attack
    Combo Striker
    Fighting
    Physical
    25 Damage
    “The user unleashes a flurry of blows onto the target hitting 2-5 times, raises attack if a critical hit is dealt”

  15. So apparently developement for SM Oddysey is almost finished, so hopefully that means we don’t see any delays for it!

    Speaking of “almost finished”, WHERE THE HECK IS PIKMIN 4?!?!

    Reply
    • OOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOO Earthen fan game time
      Pikmin 4 takes place 3 months after the events of Pikmin 3, after finally returning home from his adventures with the aid of the Koppaitans, Olimar has finally accumulated enough treasure to finally take that long awaited vacation with his family, he and his wife and two children embark to a planet far away to get some peace, but often with his luck a stray machine whizzes by and strikes their ship and it separates its escape pods and crashes on yet another bizarre planet
      He is once reunited with a stray tribe of Pikmin and sets out to not only find his family but find the ship parts to get home
      During this time Olimar’s family discover new Pikmin evolved specimens of Pikmin (red have thorny bodies, yellow have gliding ears and blue have tails) they also soon discover a bunch of pods (resembling the one that hit them) are snatching up every plant and animal they can find so they must figure out this new menace and return the creatures to their home)

      Reply
      • And spoiler
        This new menace is actually a band of techno space pirates who are abducting dangerous and valuable creatures just so they can conquer planets
        So you must band together and sneak onto their ship, free captive creatures and stop them once and for all

    • Odyssey was finished for a long time, and they wanted to put it out at launch to compensate for a possible Zelda delay. But Zelda made it and they spread out the release schedule a bit.

      Reply
        • Laura Kate Dale said it.
          They value frequent releases more than many games at launch. They don’t want to get months where they don’t release anything. So now they can improve the holiday lineup and maybe move something else ahead.

          • That makes sense. TBH, LKD doesn’t have the greatest credibility right now, but she did get a bunch of stuff right so who knows.

          • Credibility is fine. Just remember that even leakers with inside sources can get things wrong. Things change internally and some thing are misheard, I don’t see it as people making stuff up out of their asses.

          • Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that she had lucky guesses, but like you said, things change and things are misheard, so even having a few things correct doesn’t make it so she should be blindly believed.

  16. @daedardus:disqus I didn’t see your comment about my research until just now. I’m not 100% sure what field you’d categorize it as, but it’s something like biochemistry or bio-inorganic chemistry. We’re looking at the mechanism of Oxalate Decarboxylase on oxlate via a disproportionation reaction and the formation of superoxide free radicals.

    Reply
      • You’ll get there. Most of the specific terminology I know because of the research project I’m in. The other stuff is all AP Chem equivalent.

        Reply
    • So you’re trying to improve the efficiency of the production of superoxide radicals or just trying to determine the mechanism by which it happens? I dont fully understand what a disproportionate reaction is so forgive me if I misunderstood.
      Also what’s the application of this research?

      Sorry if I’m being nosy.

      Reply
      • No no no superoxide radicals are very bad. I’ll start with the application first, because that’ll make more sense:
        Oxalate can be found in the body as calcium oxalate, more commonly known as kidney stones. The goal is to be able to administer OxDc (oxalate decarboxylase) to patients with kidney stones in order to break it down. OxDc normally takes oxalate and turns it into formate by the end. The enzyme has a manganese (II) ion as a cofactor, which is used to bind to oxalate. The disproportionation reaction part comes from the fact that the Mn (II) gets oxidized to Mn (III) and then further reuced back to Mn (II). I’m sure you know that formate is used in the citric acid cycle, so turning something harmful into essentially usable energy by the body would be pretty good.
        Here’s the problem: Superoxide radicals can form. There’s an alternate pathway where hydrogen peroxide can form, and from this the radicals can form. These damage the body, and we can’t administer an enzyme to someone without knowing how to prevent the formation of such radicals.

        Reply
        • Ah, that sound interesting.

          The only thing about superoxide that clicks with me personally is knowing it’s use by the immune system to destroy invading microorganisms. I also recall a little about it in regards to antioxidants (SOD for example) but my knowledge is very limited (or just no longer retained in my memory). But sounds cool none the less.

  18. Excuse me while I rant:

    The world is so unfair! Why is it always the evil, vicious, gruesome, air-stealing villains winning? Why are people illegally, unfairly and unjust fully attacking Angela Merkel? Why is the U.S not using popular vote instead of electoral college? Why is anti-EUphobia rising? Why are liberals being harassed and attacked when they’re usually more nicer and tolerant? WHY ARE MOST GOOD GUYS FINISHING LAST?!

    • The world is unfair, and I, too, feel let down by things happening in the world. But then I realise I’ll just fight my own battles and try to take care for the people around me, because that’s the least what I can do.

      Reply
    • The simple answer: People have opinions, and also tend to be very stupid.

      The problem is that people are stubborn and want to believe that they are always right. They believe that their opinions are fact. There are people out there who believe that racism, sexism, etc. should exist. Because that’s their opinion. And that conflicts with mine, and yours too, I’m sure. The people you see as villains don’t see themselves as that, but they see us as villains. The pain that you feel by the actions they’re taking is the same pain they feel by the actions we take against them. We’re trying to change the world, but that conflicts with their old-world views. And then you still encounter problems on how to change our world. What measures do we take? What do we tackle first? And so on and so forth. There are divisions within the so called “good” and “bad”. It’s not that easy. It never will be that easy. Nobody is exactly you, so nobody can share your exact set of opinions. You’re bound to find a disagreement in ideals with anyone you encounter.

      • it is true there is a lot of positive things happening in the world that are never focused on and if we were in a better state right now I would say so too, but lately things are looking a little too bleak to not focus on what is happening just in case things take a dark turn. We should still seek out the positive things though too.

          • And of course thats entirely valid, like I said in one of my other posts, you’re allowed to shut it all out, some people have too, and I will admit that seeing it all stresses me the hell out to, but like I said, its fine for some people to do that as long as we don’t all do that, even if one person stands up it starts a domino effect, like MLK, Susan B. Anthony, and Harvey Milk and countless others that helped with the equal rights issues of their times.

          • Yeah… I’m not one of those people, I guess. Being a hero is great and all, but I’d rather be happy than be a hero.

    • Be the change you want to see in the world, most of us settle for our mundane existences and turn a blind eye saying its not my business, or its not my problem, and thats fine for them but not all of us can do that. We must have people who are willing to stand up and fight in the name of love, tolerance and equality. Sure other people have different views, but if your views directly affect another persons human rights or cause suffering in an entire community they must be stopped. If you want to see a change, be the change, every voice matters.

    • Here is the thing, there is no good guy or bad guy. Morals are subjective. One person thinks one way and the other thinks another way and a war will break out because of it.

      One person thinks the south should’ve won, that women should be kept cooking in kitchens and that any religion other than Christianity is evil. That is that person’s opinion. That person’s terrible opinion. Because people should all be treated equally. But that includes the racists, the sexists and the homophobes. You have to remember that they are humans. Even though I constantly see people trying to take away my right to marry who I love because we are the same gender or my right to fucking pee in the correct bathroom, I still have to remember that they are humans.

      People are stubborn. They can’t have their minds change over night. Hell I was actually pretty transphobic before I came out to myself. But that was because I was scared of that challenging the ideas I had of the world before I realized that I fell into that group of humans. Then I reconsidered and realized who I really was and that led me to be more accepting of others. It all comes down to having a view of the world and being petrified to look somewhere new. Liberals and Conservatives are both guilty. People want to ignore statistics, they want to attack others who think differently. All of this instead of looking at the facts, listening, really listening to that other side and both sides coming to a new understanding

      I never know if I’m making any sense when I write stuff like this .~.

Even the most corrupt people deserve compassion when they understand they have made mistakes and have flaws, because they can be reasoned with.

      You can be nice and tolerant while being a liberal but you’re not inherently nicer or more tolerant just because you’re a liberal.

      In fact, I’ve known some very intolerant liberals.

    • The difference is is that the Wii U didn’t only have a bad launch, the months after were barren too. I feel like Switch will suck at launch but recover much quicker than wii u tbh, because there’s so much third party devs interested and a variety of games lined up

      • I really don’t think so. It might be because the lack of revealed titles and my lack of interest in other games, but the other titles don’t even look that pleasing

    • The Wii U was a fairly good console, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten about:

      – Mario Kart 8

      – Super Mario 3D World

      – Super Smash Bros U

      – Splatoon

      – Super Mario Maker

      – New Super Mario Bros U

    • Ugh.

      I don’t want to be seen as a gullible sucker if you turn out to be Ziggy, but it also doesn’t seem right just to disbelieve you after I haven’t been any definitive reason to think one way or the other.

        • I remember very early ziggy days he made a second anonymous account to back him up. Could be this guy. You could compare usernames

          Reply
          • Before that I went by Yu Narukami.
            And as I stated before, I’ve been lurking on this site for six years.

          • Compare usernames with what exactly? 😛

            I’m not denying that there is evidence, but I’d really hate to be mean if it’s wrong. I know I’d hate if people assumed me to be Ziggy, so I’d rather not treat them that way until given cold hard evidence.

          • Compare Amazing Waffles pre-disqus username to Ziggy’s cronnie a few weeks ago he obviously had. See if they’re the same anonymous account.

          • I don’t have that account name. Also anons don’t have trackable accounts.

            I also don’t want to sound like I’m being gullible, ugh….
            I’m starting to sound stupid aren’t I?

          • I’m just saying you could if you want. If you were able to find the post you could see if they use the same anonymous username.

          • I know I’m under suspicion here but I remember that thread.
            His second account was Aladdin Sane, as if to keep with the Bowie theme naming.

          • I realize that.
            My only defense; I remember the stupidest stuff.
            Ask me about the rumors that sprang out from Black and White, I’ll probably remember it.

          • So if you’re not Ziggy, go tell your sibling to cut the shit. If we never see Ziggy or some variation of him come here again *maybe,* and it’s not even up to me, you can stay. If we see him again, you’re gone. You share an IP address. It’s you or someone close to you.

          • I’ll see what I can do. I’d honestly beat his @$$ but what would that accomplish.
            I’ll shake him off this site and try to keep him off.

          • you basically just did yourself in with that statement though, because if you knew that was the username, then you knew all along that your “sibling” used both that one and the ziggy one, and that they were one in the same. Which would also mean that you knew your “sibling” was trolling this entire time, and personally if I had a sibling that was actively trolling on a site as I was posting on it at the same time, I would have said something.

          • Again, this is just a hunch. And even to this day, I can’t confirm if he was using double accounts or if some guy was genuinely agreeing with him (Poe’s Law).

            And to that last comment…there’s only so much I can do. I just thought that he’d get tired of getting banned and move on. I was worried if I spoke up earlier, especially when I was still anonymous, I’d catch the heat for it too. I’d never know he’d go this far.

          • If I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t think Ziggy ever believed any of what he was saying, he just seemed like a bored s.o.b that had nothing better to do and wanted to cause a commotion whether for self validation or whatever who knows, but he was clearly very intelligent and most people with his intelligence (or what he seemed like he had) don’t often believe in the stupid shit he did.

          • That’s the scariest thing about Poe’s Law. You can never tell how serious someone is being on the web.

        • I mean even if its not him, he still has a crazy person in his house, so I guess he’s screwed either way. Its not like we can take his word for it.

      • Actually, that’s what I want to say.

          • Even online there are certain ways to tell a who a person is because we all cling to certain forms of speech in a subtle way or another its very hard to have two completely separate personas going on. But again, we cant take his word for it, or even really say its him, but we can rely on certain similarities over time they will become more present.

  34. The switch Won’t sell well.
    Nintendo’s Casual Market which made the Wii a success is gone,many other gamers already have PS4/Xbox Ones. And the casual players who DID buy a wiiu aren’t likely going to buy a new console so soon
    Thus, The switch is going to be a console only for hardcore Nintendo Fans.

    Another issue is the launch lineup. Only 5 games and out of them 1 is worth buying. No pack in game is a huge mistake. Plus the 3rd party support isn’t really that great. The switch is still missing out on key games like Mass effect,Overwatch etc plus why are skyrim and FIFA coming so late? They likely won’t sell much either

    Reply
    • It depends on what you think selling well means. Does anyone expect it to do 90 million consoles? No, but even 40 to 50 million lifetime would mean a moderate profitable succes to Nintendo.
      We shouldn’t be relying too much on oversipmplification of demographic counts. For example, the ‘casual’ demographic that was thought to be long gone to mobile did buy 3DS and Pokémon Sun/Moon in droves. I still believe that with good marketing a good place can be found.

      Reply
    • It won’t sell too well at launch, but as they add more games, it should do decently. I don’t predict it to do worse than the WiiU. It also depends what they’re doing with the 3ds

    • Who honestly cares, it’s either YOU want to or ya don’t, I see a lot of people base their choices on collective opinions
      But in the end ask yourself

      Do I want it or not?

      And my answer is hell yes, it could tank harder than the Wii U for all I care as long as it makes games that appeal to me which it is currently doing, and honestly it’s just something that’ll be worth it in the long run and y’never know when that ultimate dynamite game drops solely for the switch and you’re sitting in the dust because you decided to wait

      Reply
    • honestly no, there are way too many people from all console fan groups that are excited about the switch, the only problem with it is the weak launch line-up, trust me, it will sell well, just not at first

      Reply
      • Heck its not even that bad of a launch line up given nintendo and third parties are probably taking things safe and not trying to allow other games to fall victim to the star wars effect(simply the issue that when something so big is released, everything else that might even remotely appeal to the same audience sells worse due to the competition being something as big as Star Wars). Really any first party Nintendo game or nearly any third party game is going to sell less due to Zelda’s release probably being the dominating game for the first month.

        Reply
        • well yeah, I feel like most people like myself have one of the other consoles along with the nintendo console, so I buy them for their first party games, and PS4 has the third party ones, but I would hands down take a switch port that I can take anywhere over a PS4 one where I have to sit in front of a tv and not move

          Reply
          • Another really good point that could come into play. Generally we’ll have to see how third party games look on the Switch, but so long as their acceptable we will see people debating if the games better suited for the switches portability and quick play style, or something more suited to a proper home console. Really the only thing that limits third parties is the fact that the cartridges do have a smaller storage size then a blu-ray, but for most games that won’t be a big issue, and even then it’ll make dev’s step things up a lot and not need to off-load large chunks of the game onto the console itself in order for it to play.

            For me personally I’m seeing this is a great RPG machine and honestly I’m curious to see if they do anything special for multiplayer with multi platform games, like including exclusive modes for local multiplayer in large groups(since it can have up to eight consoles connected to one another via local wifi).

  35. I’m sad that there won’t be a 75% discount for players who already bought MK8, AND the DLC packs. It’s an illegal rip off, I demand Nintendo to be threatened by the Japanese government and issue them a warning for being greedy.

          • I loved wii u too! Its a great system just poorly marketed and the name should of been something else I agree on that but doesnt mean the system it self was bad.

      • Well I never hate to bring down the hammer but it’s just vaguely blind consumerism and being fueled by hype

        They exhibit a shiny new product with all these games of people want
        Ergo they scramble to snatch up every available thing (not to mention all the scalpels who FREAKING STOLE ALL THE MASTER EDITIONS)

        So they sell out, but one handful of games can’t keep it afloat for long, but like you said blind bashers are nit picky but it takes a large amount of douchery and bag wagoning to turn a populace against something

        But in the end (and I can’t clearly state this enough) it is all about our own opinions that matter, because we’re playing and living these games for ourselves not for anybody else

    • All of them
      there exists only a few Rhydon or rarely Rhyperior sets
      standard Rhydon set
      Impish
      Lightning rod (you can’t use any other abilities competively with this set)
      252 hp
      252 def
      Evolite
      Earthquake
      Rockslide
      Dragon Tail/Roar
      Stealth rock
      Rhydon exists to absorb all forms of physical blows so you need a special wall to complete it

      Rhyperior is similar but more attacky
      Adamant/Impish/Jolly
      252 HP
      252 AtK/Def/speed
      Focus Sash/Leftovers
      Solid Rock
      Earthquake
      Rock Slide
      Megahorn
      Swords Dance/Rock Polish/Metal Burst

      Sadly Rhyperior though the evolved form is significantly lesser
      it can only serve as a physical attacker and try to last so either beef or speed up, now i personally use it as a kamikaze with a sash with metal Burst which sends any attack back stronger
      this is either a opening or a last resort only if hazards are removed

    aside from Huntail we really don’t have any Deep Sea fish that scream evil and viscous (and don’t forget scary)
    the names suck complete ass but open to revision

    Deepish
    Water/Dark
    The Abyssal Pokemon
    Strong Jaw/Intimidate
    This pokemon and its evolution are a great mishmash chimera of all those fangily deep sea fishes and eels
    it has a lean body with a very large mouth filled with sickle like fangs and pale soulless eyes, a long thin tail fin adorn with thick sharp spines,
    “these pokemon dwell at impossibly deep waters, forming attack groups they take out larger pokemon by violently tearing them to shreds”

    i’m trying to think of a more scary name but for now Anglure
    Anglure
    Water/dark
    The Abyssal Pokemon
    Strong Jaw/ Intimidate
    this pokemon is by far the definition of scary, a massive fat and disgusting shark like fish pokemon with a large mouth filled with long rows fangs, it has a bony helmet that covers its face that resemble’s a terrifying creature skull complete with horns, but the most important aspect of this pokemon is it possesses a hollow see-through body that completely renders itself invisible in the dark and it lights up its eyes, spines and teeth to scare prey to death before attacking
    “Anglure are seldom never seen by human eyes, their appearance is so terrifying that only the bravest of trainers attempt to catch one, completely invisible in the dark they light up their teeth before consuming prey whole”

      • Its actually better then I could hope. It looks really good, it has a lot of rep’s from over the years(Nino<3), and it has me really interested in trying it out and maybe putting money in it. Its pay model seems similar to something like Yokai Watch wiggle waggle which is probably the best pay model that I've scene in a mobile game.

        Reply
          • More or less its one universal currency. You earn it by playing, doing achievements, or just buying it. The Yokai watch game does have some pretty insane buyer rewards for the whales(literally $800 for a single Yokai), but generally it felt balanced enough and you really couldn’t spend money to cheat the game. You could get lucky and get a powerful yokai, but you would still have to level it up like any other, and the higher the quality, the longer the grind for levels, so it kinda balanced itself out.

            Also while it did have a sort of life system for playing, once you reached a certain game level you just got infinite lives, so it played more like a fun little distraction then the usual mobile game.

  47. SO

    FE2 remake sounds cool, never played it myself and it comes out so soon I’ll definitely be picking it up. Is it an eshop exclusive game, since they had the eshop symbol there only?

    I guess I called it? It’s technically a teaser. 😛
    I’d say we’ll see a full trailer at E3, with a Japanese release in Q1 and the worldwide release in Q2.

    I’m honestly shocked that they didn’t show more FE Warriors, I thought that would’ve been the main feature.

    FE mobile….ugh
    It looks like a card game, you’re just paying orbs for units. I guess there’s still strategy stuff but A 6 BY 8 SQUARE MAP?! ;_;
    There also seems to be a more heavy emphasis on the weapon triangle than in the actual series, which I guess makes things easier on newer players. I guess nintendo is alternating with platform releases, as this one is google play store before iOS.

    P.S. I’ll bet you anything that Chrom and Corrin win the poll thing.

    • Personal feelings:

      FE2 remake: glad to see it being remade, though I am a bit nervous. The reason a lot of people don’t talk about the game is because its the zelda 2 of FE. Its a very different game relying on rng drops off of generic monsters, grinding in dungeons, promotions based on visiting a shrine rather then using items, cav’s sucked and heroes are the best class in the game(except for demon hunters, which are that dlc class from awakening and fates), and it became a bit meh using two separate army’s for two lords. However if it is digital only I’m fine with it.

      FE15: Happy Day’s are here my friend.

      FE Warriors: I’m liking taht they haven’t outright abandoned the 3DS as I really do feel the new 3DS should be their primary handheld and if it catches on it’ll be interesting to see if it leads the trend with the 1.5 console that a lot of people are speculating might be the future.

      FE Heroes: Its fire Emblem Mobile. Its a scaled down version of the game. It looks great for what it is and It makes me pretty happy as its a great entry for people to dip their toe into the series. Way better then that Lyn Shite from FE7. Plus so long as you can pretty much put any characters in the game I”ll be happy with it. Though I’ll admit I am rolling my eyes at the love for Lon’qe. That guy sucks. He wasn’t a good swordmaster and he was pretty boring. Please replace him with someone better, like Joshua or Owain, or that one sword master from FE5 who dies at the end of the first chapter because FE5 sucks and was a clear sign that Kaga didn’t know how to make a game(Totally not Salty).

      • WHOAH don’t be dissing my girl Lyn. That game was what got me into FE and my favorite character growing up was Lyn. The first time I beat FE7 I used her and healed with Pent from long distance. lol

        Reply
        • Ehh. I don’t dislike Lyn. I’m fine with her as a swordmaster, but I don’t see her as a lord. She’s really not one. Hector and Eliwood are the lords and she’s simply a lord in name only. My real problem is I really don’t like the tutorial stages that are based around Lyn and wished that they were simply done with Eliwood. Like really you could have just replaced Lyn in those with Eliwood and lose nothing to the story.

          Heck Lyn technically doesn’t actually exist canonically last I checked. She’s really don’t have any mention in FE6, and most of the fandom doesn’t really see her as having really any barring in those places where things are up for interpretation, Eliwood obviously bedding his dragon-wifu, and Hector is implied to marry a Pegasus Knight you only get in his path when replaying the game.

          Though honestly FE7’s great. I love the game and it was my first as well. It’s just that I do see its flaws with time, and I’m not going to ignore them. Its the same thing with fates. Fates is probably my favorite game to date, though I’ll openly bring up its problems(mostly being in the Japanese Script).

      • The reason I ask if it’s digital only is that I’m wondering if then it’ll even be a 40 dollar title.

        I’m also glad that we’re finally getting our SECOND title exclusive to new 3DS. Purchasing for bigger screen and Xenoblade was worth it though.

        And with the Lon’qu stuff I’m sure they’re just trying to attract their biggest market (awakening fans).

  48. Watched the trailers for the new Fire Emblem stuff and Warriors has piqued my interest. Just wanna ask in case anyone knows, cause I didn’t watch the direct, but is the title specifically for the New 3DS only? I love hack and slash games (Like Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors) and I thoroughly enjoy playing Hyrule Warriors Legends, as I’ve never played a Zelda game before so it was a nice intro to the franchise, so this would be a nice intro to the FE games too.

    Do you think there’s any chance in hell that countries outside Japan will get a digital release of New Mystery of the Emblem?

    Reply
    • Honestly, No. Shadow Dragon sold very poorly, and as good of a game as it is, it’ll probably never be released outside of Japan. The Fan translation’s pretty good though.

      Reply
    • Maybe, maybe not I honestly say Japan is a little unfair to the world they get tons more games exclusive to them and only them
      Examples:
      -All but one Starfy game
      -Digimon Fusion
      -Earthbound 3

    To keep on topic, I’m not getting the Switch at launch. I actually think it looks and sounds awesome, but until I hear it’s backwards compatible with the 3DS, I’m kind of hoping it won’t be its successor and the future of all mainline Pokemon games. Backward compatibility is kind of important to me, I like to still be able to play the last gen of games on the current gen. However if they do an awesome glorious Pokemon Snap 2 with all 7 gens of Pokemon on it for Switch, I will totally buy one just for that.

          • BoTW is definitely before OoT, as it has too much technology to be after (funnily enough skyward sword has the most technology but you have to “go back in time” to see it) my money is that its closer to Skyward sword than anything else, I’m a timeline junkie and follow it extensively and thats where all the clues point to it being, I think personally its set during the great war before OoT because of the certain spoilers that have come out about it.

          • It definitely seems to fall into the Hero is defeated timeline
            But it could be one of two reasons

            1-Link was killed and was put into a recovery stasis so to reseal ganon
            2-Link was successful but was forced into stasis so that his deeds may need revision

            We don’t know the whole story

          • Actually no, so far all is currently left so far are the Shiekah Monks left behind in their shines which have clearly died but preserved their spirit so that they can assist link even through death

            We have not seen any actual living members of the Shiekah tribe at the moment, there is most likely a incarnation of Impa and that is probably all who is left

            (Hate to be this guy, but Nintendo has been porking us on about the concept that the Shiekah are basically extinct for quite some time now and I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept it that way)

          • Well, we know that the Sheikah are simply banished in BotW… The tapestry on the back of the special edition map confirms that.

          • Technology can flourish somewhere after OoT, there’s not really any proof of the contrary.

            If it’s based on something we already know, I think it’s gonna be Imprisoning War. The Japanese manual for ALttP says that Ganon took the form of a noxious gas that spread over Hyrule. What does Ganon look like in BotW? A noxious gas.

          • Honestly I thought on this long and hard last night, and have come to the conclusion that there are way too many contradictions that we know of already to place it, what you said is true but there are also many other things that point to it being pre-OoT (which truthfully I still think is the case).

            So basically from what we know right now, it is both pre-OoT and post-OoT… the only way we will know for sure is if nintendo tells us.

          • Korok and the kokori are the same creature. They are a magical being that can change its appearance at will t suit their situation, if you’re trying to imply that their presence as Koroks determine where they fit in the timeline then the only place they could possibly fit would be the WW timeline, and we know they can’t fit in there because Gonondorf is defeated for good at the end of WW and the story before that says that he only returned once after the events of OoT and no hero ever showed up to defeat him resulting in the flooding of Hyrule by the gods, which rules out the Wind Waker timeline completely.

          • Also they sheikan are not gone yet in BoTW, just banished. Which means that its most definitely before OoT unless they just retconned them dying out in OoT (Impa was the last).

            Im not coming for you, I’m just obsessed with the LoTZ

          • Not the best source, but the zelda wiki says that it’s only implied they were nearly wiped out.

            For all we know they’re in OoT. Besides, they’re gonna be forced tor retcon something in BotW due to how awful the timeline is.

          • Its always Demise, he is chronologically the reoccurring embodiment of evil
            The entire goddess/hero bloodline is forever cursed to face an incarnation of his hate and fury, it will always exist

          • yes but a little deeper looking,
            say for example Ezlo’s cap corrupted Vaati and turned him evil with his evil wishes
            what if this can also be a example of his curse? that even faint whispers of evil corrupt somebody into committing evil as long as he or she is destined to cross paths with the Goddesses’s incarnation and the hero?

  53. Damn it…I don’t have enough Normal types in my region I need like 2-3 more to fill the quota
    And one I’ve been wanting to experiment with is a ditto like cellular Pokemon
    Amorphix
    The Cell Pkm
    Normal
    Protean
    This Pokemon consists of a large simple clear magenta sphere with two long tear drop shaped digit less arms, and a pair for legs, and a very long eyestalk with a black bead embedded in the top that serve as an eye, there is a red and blue fluid that travels through its body
    “A bizzare Pokemon that can restructure its soft jiggly body into a variety of shapes and forms, it watches other Pokemon fight from afar and tries to mimic and learn moves”

    Reply
      • Kinda, I just want a putty blob cell that’s sole gimmick is just Protean changing its type to whatever it decides to throw at ya, it can learn a bizzare amount of moves, mimic, counter, mirror coat, recover, reflect type, acid armor, amnesia the works with a solid 90 in each stat

        Sorry if its borderline ditto/kecleon but this Pokemon is just what it is (truefully this was one of my Spore creatures from a while back)

No surprise there, but that just goes to show, don’t trust Nintendo’s word on console coexistence (they said the switch would be a third system along with the Wii U and 3DS.

          • I wouldn’t worry. If you some how gained back the money that’s normal. Typically BB will charge your account at first for pre-orders (presumably to test your account out) and after a certain amount of time the money is returned. Once the 3rd comes closer you’ll be billed again for the Switch and it’ll all be normal. The problem with this kind of stuff is that you have to make sure you have the right amount of money once the actual billing occurs. It’s not the greatest, but you shouldn’t be worried just yet. lol

  70. guys i’m losing my mind, i know the pre-order is there but my brain keeps saying that they’ll screw it up, or something will go wrong, just all these bad thoughts that just fuels the fires of pure unyielding malice dealt onto this pathetic mortal

If it didn’t then you’ll just have to wait or see if you can get lucky the day it comes out. If you don’t hear anything as the day comes closer then just go to Best buy and be there when it opens. Grab one of their shelf Switches and you’ll be good. It’s really not something you should be freaking out about. At least not as long as your money is where ti should be. lol

            If he starts doing things that invade on rights or just really bad stuff, protest, sign petitions, get the word out, but right now, at this moment, we just have to wait and see what he does.

            Just block it out for a bit if you can’t take it. I dont blame you. It’s incredibly frustrating that he is President before the day is over but I’m just going to focus on things that make me happy like art and Rad Red

          • Besides, shouldn’t there be a free Impeachment right if your president violates human rights? He should be put on political probation.

          • I think impeachment can only happen if the President breaks the law. I don’t believe that includes introducing laws violating human rights.

            Besides, the President cant just make laws. Both Congress AND the House of Representatives have to approve it before the president can sign them into becoming law.

            If Trump was to do something that violates human rights, it has a good chance of being shot down

          • Nothing about it is blind hate. If you’ll notice most of his cabinet picks feel like they were names drawn out of a hat, unfit for their jobs and only there to suit their own needs. I fail to see how any of them could ever achieve anything good for their country. But sure lets give them a chance, a chance to screw everything up. Yes of course everyone deserves a chance, but Trump and the rest of them have already shown way too much that they will be only mediocre or toxic for their country. We shouldn’t be giving racism and hate a chance to rise again, let alone letting an unfit leader run everything into the ground because of his lack of knowledge.

          • Says the guy who romanticizes the community organizer president because he’s young and cool and attractive. (Which btw I don’t hate Obama. So don’t bother responding with a tirade about that.)

            You can believe that your world view is some perfect objective vision and that anyone who disagrees is a disgusting monster. I’ll continue living a more happy life where I’m capable of reconciling my views with those of others. Most of the cabinet picks I’ve read about are picks I like a ton actually. They’re by far the reason I’m genuinely interested to see how this plays out. I fail to see how a career politician is anymore qualified to regulate an industry than former CEO of said industry.

            I don’t believe in borders. I think anyone should be allowed to move to and from the US. But if we deport non-citizens who are currently in jail that’d be far cry from an inhumane disaster.

            I hate income taxes so I’m all for higher standard deductions and less/lower brackets.

            Regulating energy will not magically stop global warming and will only make energy more expensive for those that liberals claim to want to help. Those at the bottom. Regulation ONLY helps those at the top of the food chain because they have economies of scale to help deal with regulation. So bring on the shrinking of regulatory agencies.

            But sure. Everyone who disagrees with the all knowing Canadian is surely little more than a racist, transphobic, homophobic, baby blood drinking Nazi. Jeez I’m so dumb.

            I don’t think he ever said that. No one said that

          • I honestly don’t know where he pulled most of this from, its like he thought he knew me and my views and went in for the kill, but like, he didn’t.

          • Firstly,”Says the guy who romanticizes the community organizer president because he’s young and cool and attractive.” — Who are you talking about? I can’t say I have ever found any of the world leaders favourable because of their looks, youth or social standing… so what are you talking about? Check yourself and know who you’re talking to before you come for me.

            Secondly “You can believe that your world view is some perfect objective vision and that anyone who disagrees is a disgusting monster.” I have never now, nor will I ever think that my views are superior or that others are monsters, truthfully I don’t even think Trump is a monster, just an idiot. But you know what I know is wrong and you should as well? Racism, bigotry and hate. If you have yet to see that in his campaign or with his followers then I’m sorry to say you are not as informed as you previously thought.

            I don’t have anything to say about borders because I cant say I disagree with you.

            “Regulating energy will not magically stop global warming and will only make energy more expensive for those that liberals claim to want to help.” – NO ONE, and I repeat no one, thinks that regulating energy or what kinds of energy we use will magically stop global warming, the reason so many people want to regulate it and go green is to cut down on killing off our world faster than we should and preserving the environment as best we can.

            Oh great, you know where I’m from, its about the only thing you got right in this entire rant, and I don’t think they are racist, homophobic or basically neo-nazis because they disagree with me, they are because they have fucking shown themselves to be.

            In closing I don’t think you’re dumb, I just think you’re dangerously misinformed and seemingly painting everyone who opposes him with this one narrow brush.

            Seriously though, did you think you were talking to someone else?

          • I know who I’m talking to lmao. We’ve have definitely discussed your admiration for Obama before. But how do you feel about George Bush? I hope eerily similar considering how eerily similar their presidencies were from a policy stand point.

            Well considering you just called ALL his cabinet picks toxic. SORRY for assuming that you struggle to reconcile with people with different views considering how incredibly qualified just about everyone he’s appointed is outside of Ben Carson for HUD.

            Just because someone voted for Trump doesn’t make them racist or hateful. (I voted 3rd party btw) Stop trying to tell me that I’m “painting everyone who opposes him with this one narrow brush.” I’m not. I’m painting YOU that way. You don’t even live here. I know a A LOT of non-bigots and very kind conservative men and women who voted for Trump. And I can promise you it had everything to do with shrinking government and nothing to do with hate. So how about you stop painting supporters with such a narrow brush hm? Follow your own advice.

            Then how about the world governments stop trying to hurt those at the bottom by making their bare necessities more expensive via regulation and focus more on further funding green energy.

            In closing I’m glad you think I’m “dangerously” misinformed. lmao. Glad to know anyone who disagrees with you is dangerous. I rest my case.

          • Honestly you’re fucking crazy, yeah I like obama, but you said I liked him because he’s young, cool and good looking, I don’t. I don’t find him good-looking, he’s not young, but hell yes he’s cool, but thats not why I liked him.

            I like him because he as president was a very kind and caring man who was a champion to minorities that were facing discrimination in your country prior to him coming to office. Sure his presidency may have some similarities to Bush but I can guarantee you that none of those are why I like him, and Bush was a prick. Honestly I still don’t think you know who you’re talking to, I don’t remember ever talking about Obama with you, I wasn’t even really on this site when you came here and took a long leave from it.

            Incredibly qualified? Thats hilarious, do you even know who his cabinet picks are? you’re delusional if you think the likes of Rex W. Tillerson, Betsy DeVos or Kellyanne Conway are qualified for their jobs. Not to mention there are way too many of them (not surprisingly) who have extremely bigoted views and backgrounds, hell Rick Perry’s is on YT, we all saw his video bashing gays.

            Yes it was wrong of me to say that all Trump Supporters are Racists and bigots, they are not, some of them don’t even know they are yet, but you’d be hard pressed though to find a bigot in the US who isn’t a trump supporter, because they love him, they think we’re living in some PC world. That their right to basically assault and deny others unlike them their basic human rights is totally valid and they cant wait to take control of that, hell they already are because they think they have won and they can go back to the “good ol days”. The fact of the matter is when you vote for someone who so openly hates on entire groups of people and treats woman as objects, even if you’re not bigoted in your own right you are telling those people that his other policies are more important than their safety and security, and thats hurting them just as much as if you were to hate them yourself, and nothing is more important than a human life, nothing.

            If you specifically know of others who voted for trump and are not inherently bigoted, then good for you, its nice to know they exist, and yes I know they exist because my ex’s father and family are some of them, but how about you work to see beyond your narrow world view and release just how many of them actually are out there.

            I also don’t care that you voted 3rd party, does it really matter in this context? no.

            Honestly I don’t even know why I’m responding because clearly you’re unable to see what I’m trying to say, you think you know me, but you don’t, and yes I don’t know you either, but I can say you are misinformed, maybe you’re only getting your information from media outlets and thats where your conclusions are coming from rather than doing actual research, I don’t know, I don’t really care, you do you.

            But yes it is dangerously mis informed because if enough people start to believe bullshit how long will it be before that comes back to fuck us all up. Its not because you disagree with me, its because you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

    • And yet the world keeps spinning. It’ll be interesting to see if the Dems can take back the senate or house in two years. And then just pull a GOP and block anything Trump wants for the last two years.

          • You need to play around it. Besides Lele, most Tapus are actually quite easy to take out in the right case. All are weak to poison, especially bullnuts

          • ‘Barely a Fairy’

            Well for one, its Fairy typed, and two, if you stopped bitching about it and actually looked up a few examples you’d see that Fairies are extremely varied in real Mythology in appearance and behaviour – particularly, Bulu (and the other Tapu) being a protector that is very temperamental and fickle is in line with many Fairy mythologies

    • I always thought it was a dumb system. And yeah, people always complain about the electoral college when it doesn’t match with the popular vote..This is the biggest disparity in American history between the electoral and popular votes. 2.9 MILLION+ people didn’t want him president. People have a right to bitch.

      Reply
      • Two things

        1) Then why didn’t people complain about the system in advance knowing full well it was a possibility? (Nothing against people who already hated the system BTW, I think it’s immensely stupid myself)

        2) The thing is tho, a good amount of people who are complaining about it wouldn’t of complained if the results were flipped. That’s what bugs me.

        Reply
        • 1) I’m not sure. I think everyone assumed Hillary would win both. It made sense, but everyone underestimated the stupid bible belt.
          2) I’m not sure I’d be complaining if Hillary won the electoral and Trump won the pop, but I would 1000% support abolishing it. We don’t need it anymore..America established it when there weren’t accurate ways to take a census. Now everything is digital and it’s outdated. I mean there are other reasons for it, but it’s ridiculous we don’t have a direct democracy.

          Reply
      • Well I think that doesn’t explain anything, Trump just did better campaigning.
        You may ask how? He has 2 million votes behind Hillary!!?? Well, he focused on states that would win him the election, not densely populated areas.
        If it was popular vote he would’ve rallied in densely populated areas like California and New York (Democratic as heck states) and not even the states, but the big cities in them. The popular vote would ignore every city besides the HUGE ones, which are vastly more Democratic than Republican.
        So in reality, we don’t know who would really have the popular vote, because if that was the system he would’ve campaigned differently.
        Also cya, not gonna go on here much anymore.

        Reply
        • Eh, I mean I suppose, but that’s another set of questions we’ll never be able to answer. Yeah, Trump definitely campaigned better. There also was division with the democratic party and of course how they wronger Mr. Sanders and went with Hillary regardless. I mean there was heavy opposition within the republican party too..but I really don’t care about anything other than the environment and education, and I think his choices in those departments are downright unjust.

      Reply
    • Well to be fair those who are old enough likely got upset some back in the Bush / Gore election. But regardless the New York Times wrote a fantastic piece explaining how Trump’s win was more of a historical fluke than due to any biases the electoral college may or may not create.

    • Buy a cheaper 128GB. When you need the space, 256GB cards should have become cheaper, with the price being cheaper for the 128GB and 256GB card together. Unless you really want to buy more than 20 full fledged games, 128GB should be enough.

I think I did really well overall, but I’m waiting desperately to find out whether or not I failed my AP Calculus final. That would be a very, very bad thing. ANYWAY, politics aside, I’m very happy today. My last semester of high school…I can’t believe it’s here. Now I have three days off with no homework, so it’s time to PARTY!!!

      • I don’t think it actually matters if I get a D in the first semester like I’m fearing since I’m a senior. I’m on my fourth year of math and I only need two to graduate, so it would just be swept under the rug. I’d probably just take Calculus again sometime in the future.

        • Well hopefully it’s not something you need to worry about. As long as you tried your best and continue to do so you should do well.

          Reply
          • Thank you, I did try my best but it’s still REALLY HARD. I just need 51% and the test it also truncated, so I’m not too worried yet. The problem is that I got around that score on both of the recent tests. Ouch.

          • Doesn’t it reflect partly on your lecturers and how they teach you? Like there’s only so much that’s just down to just you right?

          • My teacher isn’t the best for everyone. She’s very nice, but she glosses over things so if you aren’t a math savant, you’ll lose track rapidly. I had an 85% or so at the beginning of the semester, but now I’m hovering around 70%. Clearly something happened in that time.

          • Are there online classes that can help? Leaving things to your own study is fine but if you get it wrong and there’s nobody to point out the right way you’ll possibly never know. Maybe you have a weaker grasp of some areas and could benefit from more thorough explanation?

        • Speaking of calculus, I just found out that since I opted to take Adv. Algebra I instead of Algebra II in freshman year, I’m unable to take calculus senior year. I’m a little annoyed, they should’ve told me it mattered. Even my counselor said I could take it, but nope, just stolen from under my nose.

          • You might be able to skip Precalculus if you’re really good at math. I’m not saying it will happen, but it has happened.

          • I was told that I wouldn’t be able to take Calc BC my senior year b/c I wasn’t far enough ahead. I signed a bunch of override stuff saying that I knew I was unprepared, and got into the class (*Note: I had not taken Calc AB beforehand). I had above 100% in the class and got double 5s on the exam.
            Anything can happen. Talk to your counselor(s) about what you can do. If you really want to take calculus, start learning the prereq stuff beforehand on your own time. And even if you can’t take calculus, you can still learn it on your own!

  110. So Necrozma is definitely an Ultra Beast, it has the same reverberation at the end of its cry as the eleven UBs we already know about.

    And yes, it may not be affected by the Beast Ball nor have Beast Boost, but the exact same applies to Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo and Lunala, who we know to be Ultra Beasts.

  111. In regards to Poke Bank maybe they’re waiting for people’s subscriptions to run out before they update? Mine is running out and once I can transfer my pokemon I won’t need bank for quite a while, so I wasn’t planning on resubscribing because I wanted to make a brand new account and whatnot. But as the days dwindle down I fear I won’t be able to do what I wanted?

      • I’m always intrigued why people think that what happens in one country doesnt matter to another.

        I agree things like minor news like crashes, murders e.t.c are meaningless, but big things like Brexit and presidential elections affect more than just a single country. Also it’s good to keep tabs on what’s happening around the world.

        Reply
        • The thing is tho, people in Britain don’t care that much about Brexit that much (at least for now), so it’s always intrigued me why a country would care far more for another country’s activities when that country isn’t terribly bothered

          Reply
          • Well everyday I’m hearing more and more about how Brexit is affecting things. Also I wouldn’t say we aren’t bothered but we know there’s not really much we can do about changing the result so live and let live I guess.

            The politicians are pretty useless at this point, so let them bicker away while the rest of us face the brunt of it.

          • I didn’t mean like, proper ‘dgaf’ attitude towards it, but it’s not exactly as dominant as say, the US election. Like you’d hear how it’s effecting things then move on with your day without people screaming bloody murder at each other for differing opinions

          • Probably cos it’s a slow process. Much slower than the presidential election in which everything happened in a couple of months so It was headlining everywhere.

            Everything that happens now with Brexit is behind the scenes with the politicians over the next couple of years, so the average citizen has little to no say.

          • True

            I just hope we made the right choice, and if we didn’t well find a way to set it right

          • didn’t a bunch of people like speak out against brexit though? Wasn’t the only reason it happened was because the elderly were more in favour of it then the youth but they outnumbered them so it happened anyways? even though it won’t even affect them for very long?

            Idk from what I recall seeing about it, it was a poor decision in which the elderly screwed over everyone else

          • This brings back the question of democracy. The elderly may not be around to witness the result of the vote, but as citizens they had every right to cast a vote. Whether it plays to our favour or not.

            Democracy isn’t perfect but it’s the best we have.

          • Oh no, it was a much more hot topic when it first happened, but it’s calmed down a lot.

            Also, I wouldn’t say it was a terrible decision, becuase it has the possibility to go either way. We’ll only know in retrospect

          • idk, you’re the first person I have heard say its not a bad decision, but I mean I haven’t heard much on it lately so who knows

    • Also Britain isn’t anti-europe, becuase Europe is a continent and by all definitions the UK is part of the European continent (or Eurasia, or Afro-Eurasia, whatever)

      You mean anti-EU

  117. I managed to beat all of the Elite Four, yet I haven’t fought Wallace as of yet. Here’s my comments on the Elite Four:

    Sidney- Not hard whatsoever. His only “threat” was his Mighteyena because it wanted to spam Sand Attack, yet Sceptile took care of that. The rest I proceeded to demolish with Flygon and Hariyama.

    Phoebe- She was somewhat difficult. I went in, thinking that I could win it with Slaking’s Shadow Ball, but her first Dusclops used Protect, messing up my strategy. Confuse Ray and Double Team was a problem, yet my Crawdaunt helped out thanks to Aerial Ace never missing. Her last 2 remaining Pokemon were very easy.

    Glacia- She would be almost as easy as Sidney, yet the Walrien said otherwise. I managed to destroy her first four Pokemon with Hariyama and Manectric, but her Walrien was a problem. It just never dies! That thing is very bulky, and managed to outspeed Hariyama. It destroyed my Crawdaunt too. And Manectric’s Thunderbolt did only HALF of Walrien, plus the Water/Ice type also took out Manectric. Fortunately, with a Sheer Cold miss, Sceptile won it.

    Drake- I now see why he was incredibly hard for players. His Kingdra and Altaria spammed Dragon Dance and then took out a big chunk of my team. By the time I got to Salamence, only Hariyama and Slaking were alive. I almost lose the entire battle, but due to Hariyama taking the Intimidate, my Slaking barely finished it off with Hyper Beam. I’m assuming if it didn’t get that crit, I would have been screwed.

However, it’s official lore that the Rito are evolved forms of the Zora. They’ve never existed in the same game before, and since the zora weren’t in Wind Waker, I assumed that all the zora evolved (obviously over a long period of time) to fit their new flooded high rule. However, it seems that it’s now Divergent evolution and that both species exist at the same time! Idk, that’s kind of exciting to me. Thoughts?

  128. So, this might not be the place to ask this but I’d like some kind of response. In preparation of BotW, I wanna play through some old Zelda games to get a feel for the series. The one thing that’s turning me off about some of those titles are the spider-like enemies that appear throughout. I know this sounds ridiculous but I have major arachnophobia and this carries through with video games. I’d like to enjoy some of those older titles but I can’t bear to look at or fight any of those large enemies. I’d appreciate some thoughts or advice from anybody 🙂

      Reply
  129. Well… After all this time of playing it, I finally beat Emerald at 56:29. It was a great game, I had a lot of fun with it, along with the Pokemon I used in the walkthrough:

    Manectric (Tempest)
    Lv 50
    Male
    Item: none
    Ability: Static
    Bold Nature
    – Rain Dance
    – Iron Tail
    – Thunderbolt
    – Thunder
    The last Pokemon that I added to the team, Tempest was caught at Route 118. He helped me a great bit against Juan, Glacia, Drake, and Wallace. He was one of the strongest Pokemon I had on the team, and a prominent powerhouse. The Bold Nature helped it survive deadly physical attacks, so it could withstand some attacks. Adding Thunder and Rain Dance on this thing made it almost unstoppable to beat.

    Flygon (Quake)
    Lv 49
    Male
    Item: Soft Sand
    Ability: Levitate
    Serious Nature
    – Earthquake
    – Steel Wing
    – Fly
    – Dragon Claw
    To be honest, I’ve always wanted to have a Flygon whenever I decided to play Emerald, so Quake was an instant team member from the get-go. I’ve heard about so much positive feedback of using a Flygon in a walkthrough, so I decided wynaut use one for Emerald? After roaming the desert just to find one, I managed to catch one without accidentally killing it, and named it Quake. He took the longest to evolve, and during that time was a frail Trapinch and Vibrava, but packed a lot of power in all of his evolutions. Flygon also became one of my favorite Ground types during this run.

    Crawdaunt (Zoidberg)
    Lv 49
    Male
    Item: Sea Incense
    Ability: Hyper Cutter
    Naive Nature
    – Aerial Ace
    – Swords Dance
    – Blizzard
    – Surf
    When I planned out my Emerald run team, Sharpedo was a top contender for one of the spots. Yet when I got the Good Rod, I discovered that you could find a high-leveled Corphish on Route 117. So instead, I caught myself Zoidberg. Perhaps the most interesting Pokemon of the team, Zoidberg had a rough start because its move set was so limited, as it couldn’t fully utilize its strong Physical attack due to water type moves being Special and the only Dark move it could get in Emerald was Knock Off, which sucked. Fortunately, he held his own, and before the Elite Four I taught Zoidberg Blizzard, which helped in taking out Flygon and Altaria. Zoidberg became a great team member in the late game.

    Hariyama (Maku)
    Lv 50
    Male
    Item: Lax Incense
    Ability: Guts
    Docile Nature
    – Fake Out
    – Brick Break
    – Bulk Up
    – Strength
    The original team that I wanted for Emerald had a Grumpig on the team, but when I went to the Jagged Pass to catch Spoink, I knew for a fact that Maku won me over. The outstanding bulk it had plus a fearful Attack enabled it to annihilate anything in site (with the exception for training for the E4, because, well, Golbats spammed Confuse Ray and Wing Attack). Fake Out allowed me to halt threats on the first turn, so like Norma’s Slaking was completely stopped by Hariyama. Also, Bulk Up on this thing makes it a monster. Like I wiped out almost all of Glacia’s Pokemon with just Hariyama using Bulk Up, with the exception of Walrein.

    Slaking (Lola)
    Lv 50
    Female
    Item: Silk Scarf
    Ability: Truant
    Lonely Nature
    – Hyper Beam
    – Shadow Ball
    – Strength
    – Slack Off
    Without a shadow of a doubt the strongest Pokemon on my team, Lola has saved many lives in my walkthrough. The infamous chuggaconroy method of Hyper Beam + Silk Scarf inspired me to use Slaking, which in my case Hyper Beam was: Physcial Hyper Beam + Attack Boost from lonely nature + STAB + Silk Scarf + tons of Vitamins = pretty much guaranteed OHKO. Seriously. With this method, my entire team has been saved by one shotting countless threats from Emerald, such as Wallace’s Milotic, Drake’s Salamence, and Juan’s Kingdra. If it weren’t for Lola, I would be very screwed when I fight those threats.

    And last but certainly not least….

    Sceptile (Razor)
    Lv 51
    Male
    Item: Miracle Seed
    Ability: Overgrow
    Quiet Nature
    – Leaf Blade
    – Double Edge
    – Giga Drain
    – Detect
    My starter for Emerald. Before this run, I’ve used Sceptile before in OR, yet not as my actual starter because I traded it over from X. So this was an entirely different experience for me.
    Anyway, I went through everything with Razor. We defeated Roxanne barely, delivered the finishing blow to Wattson’s Manectric, fight Archie and Maxie, explore the unexplored of Hoenn, awaken Rayquaza, destroy most of Juan’s team, help take on Wallace for the final fight, and get stuck with Absorb as our only Grass move till 22 levels later. He was an amazing starter Pokemon to have on the journey, and if I were to say, the best one I’ve had on a walkthrough. There were so many memories of using Razor to travel and battle with. I really enjoyed using Sceptile as a starter Pokemon, and he might actually become one of my favorite Pokemon of all time.

    I will say that Emerald is in my Top 5 favorite Pokemon games now. Fantastic region, solid difficulty, and overall, a spectacular experience.

    Reply
      • Oh the best memory I’d have to say was when I went into the Elite Four. I’ve had Emerald for 11 years, and not once did I decided to play through it fully. I may have tried to beat Roxanne a few times, but that was the amount I went to. But finally beating Emerald feels refreshing and amazing, because I finally conquered the game I never decided to pick up.
        I will say the most difficult part would have to be Winona surprisingly. I thought she would be easy by using Manectric, but her Altaria spammed Earthquake and Dragon Dance, so I had to retry a lot of times just to figure out a stradegy to beat her. The reason why it took so long was because I had no other moves to take out Flying types (other than Rock Tomb on Quake, but he would get one shot before he could move), so it was very difficult. Plus, I discovered that almost half of my team was weak to Flying, so that was a big problem.
        And I will definetly try out the Battle Frontier. It was always a dream to take on the Emerald BF.

    • If Xurkitree was a grass type it’s name could’ve made much more sense…

      And Xerneas….. It’s good as it is IMO

      Reply
          • Please tell me where it ever says that. Literally every Pokedex entry and lore entry says its literally a tree, and its antlers are made to invoke tree branches. It also learns Ingrain, as in using your roots to dig into the ground and suck up nutrients, as well as Horn Leech, which is only otherwise learn able by Grass-types with horns

          • The form of a tree, form as in it looks like a tree, but that shouldn’t really make it a Grass type,

            In reality Xerneas’s tree form is motionless and petrified, no foliage whatsoever

            And besides it learns a ton of healing and horn based attacks

          • That’s still a tree though, even if the tree is dead or suspended (or even during winter months) it’s still a tree.

            And trees don’t move that often on their own (its mostly growth that you can’t really see happening because it’s gradual), so saying it’s ‘motionless’ doesn’t really have merit, especially when the tree is the dormant state.

            And its called context. Plenty of Pokémon with horns learn Mega Horn, Horn Drill and Horn Attack without being a Bug or Normal, yet literally every Pokémon that isn’t Xerneas that learns Horn Leech is a Grass – Type (and in the case of all of them but Skiddo, Gogoat and Xerneas, they all have wooden horns).

            Also, Xerneas’ only other Horn move is Megahorn, and it’s other healing moves are passive or don’t deal damage

          • It’s only a fucking tree when it dies, but when it’s out and about its its regular old ass deer fairy spirit form,

            This is just another case of fucking Fairies who resemble plants but aren’t plants themselve

            Florges and Comfey, at least these ones resemble plants but Xerneas does not in the slightest

            So Xerneas ain’t gonna be a Grass type anytime soon

          • Florges is a symbiotic relationship and the flowers aren’t actually part of Comfey

            Xerneas actually becomes a tree, and has the biological or magical capacity to become own, as well as being able to Ingrain itself into the earth and drain things similar to how grass types do it (Horn a Leech, an otherwise grass type exclusive, compared to other more widespread Grass moves)

          • How do you know huh, all we ever see about Xerneas tree is it looks like a petrified husk, what did you physically cut it open check its alive

          • Becuase the Pokedex literally calls it a tree and I’m more inclined to believe the game over some rabid Fairy hating fan because the game wouldve indicated otherwise if they didn’t want us to think it was a tree

          • are you thick, I’m only saying this one last time
            It’s only a “Tree” when it gives its life energy and sleeps for thousands of years
            There is zero confirmation that this tree like state is in fact an actual plant, you can make a statue of metal and concrete that looks like a tree but in reality it’s not a plant

            In conclusion yes it can learn Ingrain and Horn Leech it just sticks its hoofs into the ground and sucks up nutrition and stabs its horns into thing and does the same but those two moves don’t justify it being a plant,

          • No Earthen, the Pokedex literally says it is a tree – not ‘like a tree’, a tree, as in the fucking plants keeping your sorry ass alive

          • Legends say it can share eternal life. It slept for a thousand years in the form of a tree before its revival.
            Form of a tree,
            if it says
            “It slept for a thousand years as a tree before its revival” then it would make it one but it ain’t
            Goodbye

          • ‘Form of a tree’ literally means it changed its form into a tree lol

            Dont let the door hit you where the good lord split you

          • Earthen, it’s either a plant or its left ambigous, there’s nothing saying it isn’t a plant.

      • Thing is tho, Yveltal as a ‘cocoon’ is literally just resembles Yveltal curled up in dormancy, and you can argue that you can make any fantasy creature take aspects of another. Also, Yveltal is already Dual-Typed. Whereas Xerneas has a drastic change in physical appearance (literally becoming a tree, which is a species change, rather than a cocoon, which is a dormant stage of an organism that doesn’t change species) and isn’t dual typed.

    http://oxfordindex.oup.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095648814

    Three very different types of Fairies, all from the same relative geographical area. This isn’t even 1% of fairy mythologies out there, and that’s not even to include the fact that GameFreak is drafting in creatures that are similar to Fairies (angels, nymphs, mermaids) into the type

    Reply
      • That’s not the point dirt for brains, real life Fairies are varied and hence the type is varied. They don’t have enough be based off of these specific Fairies.

        Reply
        • it so is the point, what’s the point of you trying to one-up me saying not all fairies aren’t based on cutesy magical crap when the populace of them basically are

          Yes in some cultures fairies are evil spirits and horrifying myths but in other cultures they’re magical and pure

          The cultural barrier of representation is a very real issue, but so far all Fairies revealed fall into the cute and magical department with only a few strays (and you can’t base all of them on so because they were reconned fairy)

          Reply
          • You do realise they could’ve chosen not to retcon them if they only wanted cutesy ones?

            Also, Xerneas, Koko, Bulu, and Mimikyu, and Shiinotic aren’t traditionally cute, but let’s ignore them because why not

            ‘Cultural barriers’

            LOL, literally nearly every Mythology has some sort of Pokémon representing it, so there’s no cultural barriers. Most Fairies are cute because it’s a kids game and kids like cuteness. However, you blatantly ignore the uncute Fairies when there’s a decent size of them considering how small the type is, and cry ‘but they were retconned’ when in reality if they didn’t fit into this idea of Fairies being varied they would’ve been left out of the type

            Also, name one Mythology where Fairies are always pure or always evil? They’re always depicted as grey, being able to choose between good and bad. ‘The only good Fairy’ shit is literally a modern thing, which GameFreak can’t take inspiration from forever before they eventually have to go into deeper territory with the type

            And disregarding appearances, many Fairy types are already dark or at least morally grey. Shiinotic is practically Hypno, Lele is referred to as cruel and Fini will cause people to become lost and stranded, Mimikyu, whilst innocent, can accidently kill, Koko is fickle and does what it wants, and Bulu is lazy but can be sent into furious rages.

          • I love how riled up you are about this
            First of all nearly all the reconned ones are cutesy or at least vaguely resembles fairies (Azumarill was and still is a mistake) but the rest fit the bill

            And the mythology is bit of paragraph filler since you’re ignoring what already exists and trying to justify that fairies can be evil but at the moment the goody ones outweigh the few malicious ones

            I will agree that those particular fairies are in a sense evil (minus Mimikyu should just be pure Ghost nuff said) and actually Shiinotic isn’t as bad as you make it out to be “Forests where Shiinotic live are treacherous to enter at night. People confused by its strange lights can never find their way home again.” it’s the dangers of a dark forest that caused the harm Shiinotic aren’t doing it on purpose (but they do feed on hypnotized prey but honestly that’s biology 101 and not fairy exclusive)

            but like I said the majority is good magical Fairies which is clearly true but there can be bad ones but just so far not enough

          • Also there is this odd phenomenon that somewhat justifies Shiinotic as a Fairy which I reluctantly but agree with

            A strange thing called a Fairy Ring mushroom which may be a inspiration for the type (could’ve sworn they were just pegging on their bioluminescence but whatever)

            Same thing for Swirlix since in Australia Cotton candy is called Fairy Floss

          • Fairy rings are a surprisingly common phenomenon associated with Fairies, of course that’s where it comes from. That’s literally where everyone thinks Shiinotic being a Fairy comes from

          • Dude I’m not riled up lol I actually couldn’t give to shits, I just like seeing your mental gymnastics to justify your dislike of an aspect of a kids game

            Also, ‘its just biology stuff’ could be used for any type for any reason and you clearly don’t know shit about Fairies if you think they’re mostly all nice

          • Because I’m busy Earthen, believe it or not my life doesn’t consist of arguing with people online

          • Because I wasn’t busy then I was? That’s kind of how life works genius, you have times to do some things and time not to

            And if you *must* know why I’m not arguing as much, I’m doing homework because I made a revision schedule

    • It’s not about them looking like fairies. It’s more about how another type would fit them more than the Fairy Type, but the Fairy Type gets tacked on for some reason.

  133. Now today it’s #9 on my list of my top 10 Favorite Pokémon!

    9.) Turtonator

    This is probably going to suprise you all from min.1 this was a Pokémon I wanted and longed for it has a good unique type that it shares with only one other Pokémon. This color sceme makes me think of Warm fired up fighter who will detonate you of this earth. And Also its name….its just like The Terminator (hence why mine is named that)

    But this is still only #9 we still have waaaay more in store!

          • Solid Typing Bulk, and Dragon Dance and Mold Breaker stops Water Absorb

            normally Garchomp is my gyara blocker but this was one of those instances where it ran Ice Fang

          • That doesn’t equate OP though?
            if you suck and can’t beat something then that isn’t OP. You’re just a bad player

          • Maybe for a mono-ground team. But thats the risk you take playing mono-type. In standard play it can be dealt with relatively easily.

          • my point, I only have one legit water counter in my arsenal and that’s Nidoking (i say counter not wall because plenty of Water/Grounds take water moves but not enough to take others out)

          • ehh Quagsre is literally just nothing but spamming Recover and i don’t want to win that way (unless i want to watch the other struggle) but Seismitoad’s been very very loyal to me and i wouldn’t give him up for anything

            Did i ever show you this match where this guy stalled with Florges and in the very end i crippled his jirachi with Arcanine and just kept switching in and out with torkoal to arcanine building intimidates

          • Like I said it’s the risk you take playing Mono-Type. Mega Gyarados isn’t OP is just does well against Types it’s super effective against, I.e. Ground Type.

          • It’s not easy to beat, it’s a good Pokémon
            You can use pheromosa,Bulu,will-o-wisp,Mega scizor. So it’s not impossible.
            Besides you could use this argument for every Pokémon.

          • you’re the first person I’ve heard saying that.

            Mega gyarados is a good Pokémon, but it’s really not broken at all and it’s on par with other megas. Plus with all these Fairies and Bug types this gen, it’s pretty easy to beat

    • Wow you fought against the most common type game. What are the odds. High. So its actually reasonable. But you cant probably hear me on the high horse, so here’s your bad luck sticker. You are #1 in bad luck!

    and so far after a stem cell i try my hand at a Kangaroo

    Dojoey
    Normal/Fighting
    Scrappy PKM
    Scrappy/Hustle HA: Lead Foot (increases the damage of kicking moves by 20%)
    a medium sized wallaby Pokemon with a bright orange coloration it has thick toned thighs and legs and very long feet, its arms are fairly short but they’re shaped like mittens, its tail and ears are triangular and is crooked has a pair of red stripes, they have a tuft of red hair on their heads and a black snout
    “Dojoey are extremely stubborn trying to pick fights with others, they run at high speeds to burn off excessive energy”

    and soon after they become the mighty Kickaroo!
    Kickaroo
    Normal/Fighting (though considering Dark/Fighting)
    Kickboxing PKM
    Scrappy/Sheer Force HA: Lead Foot
    A taller and much more aggressive looking Kangaroo Pokemon with a darker orange skin and longer legs and feet, their feet are equipped with three long red toeclaws their mitten fists have red claws, they have a large white X mark on their tan belly (females have a line to show a pouch) their eyes have a series of scar like markings and a single fang sticking out of their mouth, and wild red hair
    “These Pokemon are extremely pugnacious that incorporate kicking, punching and biting into its fighting style, with their extremely powerful legs they can deliver a kick that could send a car flying 30 meters into the air”

  137. Yo I need some assistance for Fakémon

    So, at least in Scotland and England, more emphasis is placed on the national flower than most places. So for my UK based region, I decided to make a Pokémon for each regional flower, as well as just making a regional variant of Roserade because it’s a perfectly fine Rose Pokémon. So I’ve got

    Thisterax Line (masculine counterpart to Roserade Line)
    Roserade Line
    Carniflora Line (daffodil/crocodile hybrid, the flower of Wales)

    So I just need help with my shamrock Pokémon. I was thinking either a literal shamrock (Grass/Rock), a Leprechaun/shamrock hybrid (Grass/Fairy), or because Grass and Water are tied for most Pokémon in my region, a Fairy leprechaun with a shamrock theme/picks up shamrocks/has a symbiotic relationship with shamrocks

    Any suggestions?

  139. I had a really vivid dream last night relating to Pokemon – one of the first occurrences of this for me in a very long time. It almost felt real to me when I was there. I even remember myself going to PokeJungle and seeing the article about it! Anyway, what I remember is the reveal of two new Pokemon games during some special event later this year. May have been a Nintendo Direct, may have been its own separate event. Basically, the titles were not “remakes” of Diamond and Pearl but “reimaginings”, using a modified Sun and Moon engine with much better graphics. I remember something about “black” Gen 2 Pokemon – what may have been some kind of Alolan Form situation with mutations or something. The names of the games were something the lines of Pokemon Plurality and Pokemon Celestia – those are probably not accurate but the main point is that they did not include Diamond and Pearl in the names. I remember a shot of the trainer riding a Pokemon or something towards a very aggressive Dialga or Palkia. That was my dream, or at least what I still recall of it.

    • Man….can I just say how much I love pre release seasons for Pokemon games? There’s so much excitement in the air and the unknown is so interesting. I can’t wait for Stars to get revealed. I hope it’s not just a port of Sun and Moon. I want a new game(s). Something that moves the story of SuMo along or even connects it to the other games more lol

    • Oh and I almost forgot. I think I’d really like a re imagining of DP rather than a near cut and dry remake of them. I found DP dreadful to get through so if they revamp it and make it a bit different (i.e. more palatable to get through) Then I’d be all for it. I really hope that when/if they remake DP they add more variety to the dex. The original dex had like 3 lines of fire types……It was awful…..on top of that they need to make Mt.Coronet less of a trudge to get through.

      There was this one dream that I had one time when it was when Sylveon’s typing wasn’t revealed yet. Apparently, in this dream, Sylveon was a new type, the “Equal” type, along with Xerneas. It was some type that balanced out all the types. And, strangely enough, Sylveon was a new type that balanced out dragons, and Xerneas was that same type.

  148. Hmm…So Recently I’ve had a bit of a thought and I’d figure I’d ask some insight on it. I was watching the gamexplain discussion earlier about their feelings about the switch and an interesting question was brought up. Will Nintendo Support the 3DS along side the Switch as they claim. While one of them(who openly has said he’s not a fan of handheld gaming) pretty much said he’s fine with them dropping it and wants to see Nintendo go all in on the Switch, you could hear the other two kinda hesitating to say that, mostly because when you get right down to it, the switch isn’t really made in mind to be a proper handheld.

    So I figured I’d share the question here and hear your personal thoughts on it. Do you really see them going all in on one device, or do you think Nintendo will stay true to their word and support both indefinitely?

    Personally I’m kinda seeing them lean more towards indefinite support for both not only due to the insanely big install base of the 3DS, but mostly due to the dev cost issue and the design philosophy issue’s kind creating problems with developing games for the switch if they really did try to go all in on the console. But again I’d really like to hear your feelings either way. Its kinda fascinating since really we don’t know what Nintendo has planned for the future and can only really speculate.

    • I hope both because I like 3DS more than what I see of Switch, and until something comes around that I like… the Switch won’t mean much while the 3ds will

  149. Thought I’d share a Fakémon right before I get studying

    Basis: Pyrosome (Individual and Colonial)

    Name: Isolid (Isolated + Zooid)
    Species: Isolated Pokémon
    Type: Water/Bug
    Ability: Illuminate/Rattled

    Acid: This tiny Pokémon is pathetic in most aspects. It’s so pathetic, it can’t even best Miniscute as the smallest Pokémon. They have a low survival rate because of this..

    Base: Most trainers won’t bother to raise this Pokémon, as even its amazing bioluminescence does not make up for its terrible battle prowess.

    Equilibrium: This Pokémon can stay out of water for a surprisingly long time, but having a Poké Ball or fishbowl at hand is for the best.

    Name: Pyrosect (Pyrosome + Sect)
    Species: Belonging Pokémon
    Type: Water/Bug
    Ability: Flame Body/Water Bubble

    Acid: Their bioluminescence is so strong that it generates a strong heat. They constrict around predators and burns them, before making a hasty escape.

    Base: Isolid only changes slightly when it evolves, but these changes allow it to live compactly on its gelatinous tunic with other evolved Isolid as a Pyrosect.

    Equilibrium: Ancient myths state that the gelatinous tunic that each Pyrosect

  150. Another regional variant:
    Gyarados
    Water/Fire
    Ability: Intimidate/Flame Body (HA: Swift Swim
    HP: 95
    Attack: 115
    Defense: 79
    Sp Attack: 60
    Sp Defense: 100
    Speed: 91
    The Gyarados that live in the region eventually found residence in underwater volcanos, and began to reside in the unpopulated areas. The magmatic energy from the volcanoes changed its physiology, so now Gyarados have a very hot and intense body and are faster than the average Gyarados. Their personalities are a lot more vicious and fiery, making it much more aggressive. Anyone who comes across one should flee, because it will eradicate its foes with fiery hot water that scorches everything.

    • But I do have a super hero form
      Name: Neo Warrior
      Powers: Flight, and use of a crystal like armor that can do most anything
      Backstory: I went adventuring one day and in cave found a celestial Armor suit that glowed in multi-colors(The colors like the evolution crystal in Pokémon MD RRT), and eventually after I brought it home with me, but after a while my friends started to notice me being gone at night then the next day places were robbed, and much crime happened also lots of criminals were being caught by an unknown formed being. Eventually they started to monitor what happened to me at night, and discovered the suit was taking over my body and using me to do its biding, so they decided to stop me only to be defeated by me, but then my an alien of ultimate proportions arrived. The suit used me to stop the fiend only for it to be defeated, and letting its grip of me go and working together with me to stop him, and we have hailed as heros fighting crime together ever since.
      -Heroes
      Arch nemesis- Organoc- A Giant goblin looking alien who was after the armor as it was the last part of the planet he destroyed that was left. He’s yellow

    • Alright here’s mine:
      1)- Light manipulation – basically I can utilize light waves and be able to form barriers, weapons, or concussive beams of energy at a foe
      – Flight – Utilizing light waves, I would be able to levitate myself with that energy, granting the ability to fly around. The stronger the light waves, the faster I fly.
      2) I got lost in the mountains for a few months and I came across a cave that lead deep into this mountain in order to find shelter. Ancient ruins were at the deepest part, and I found an artifact that symbols described as “the power of the sun”. Touching this armor altered by genetic dan, with the power of light filling me.
      3) I would form an alliance with either Seraph, Ithsme, Kurusu, or Star
      4) A hero
      5) My arch-nemesis would be someone that can manipulate gravitational fields, so basically this villain has something like the force. They were a scientist that got into a experiment gone wrong, and woke up with their body unstable and with gravity like powers. As such, they have to wear an armor to control the unstable gravitation forces within. The whole idea between my hero and the villain is the concept of stars and black holes.

    • Tbh its kinda weird it’s been up this long and I haven’t answered it myself yet

      1) Emotional Manipulation – The power to amplify, decrease or invert someone’s emotions. For example, I can call someone down or rile them up. I could also turn that hatred into love. This works for short – lived emotions (anger over something, excitement for something) and long – lived emotions (love or hate against someone), and it is permanent until the emotion runs its course or I change it back. I’d be unable to create new emotions though, only able to edit what exists.

      2) Super villain father with mind control abilities. Super villain mother with the ability to make someone fall in love or to be overwhelmed with hatred. Superhuman genetics, yay.

      3) Would basically just team up with who I need to, being kind or a loner due to being a superhero born from villains.

      4) Superhero, but slightly anti – hero

      5) Evil siblings

    • 1)- Ice Manipulation- Basically what you think. Can create ice and use it as shield or as an attack. This also includes snow. Mainly for defense

      2) I like ice. I like lighting. I like being salt.
      3) Whoever is a villain
      4) Villain. Im the villain that will laugh at you suffering, and is very merciless. And takes my time with people

    The first of my Top ten is the Electric Type Pokemon that hails from Johto, Ampharos. Whenever there’s a region that has an Ampharos in town, I will get one. It has a very simple but really good design that just draws me in. The move set it has is amazing, Power Gem, Thunder, Dragon Pulse, Confuse Ray, Signal Beam, Cotton Spore, Discharge, Fire Punch, and so on and so forth. You could do so many options with this mon, which whenever I catch one, I make a different move set each time to have a new experience with it.
    Also it’s mega is a Dragon and goes super saiyan. That’s amazing.

    Vermillion Bird- Fire/Flying or Fire/Electric (Represents Summer)
    White Tiger- Steel/Ghost (Represents Autumn, also I can change the typing if you want to avoid confusion with yours, I had ghost to represent the whole “dying of plants” thing in the fall)
    Black Tortoise- Ice/Dragon (Represents Winter, also Quartet Master)

  165. This is all I’m getting in the chat no matter how many times I refresh. Is this a problem for anyone else? It’s been going on for a while now but before a few refreshes would fix it also I’m on mobile. Any ideas on a fix? https:// uploads.disquscdn.com/images/941e7325db05738f245706261896bb4a449e2afd55ea2f70860221caf10e5621.png can anybody see this?
