  4. The big reveal for Thunder and Quake it is called the
    Rhinen Region
    And with it a new Pokémon
    Grubble
    Rock/Ghost
    Ability:???
    “Born of rubble inhabited by spirits who passed trying to climb it; it has a severe appetite and consumes rocks and fruit to energize itself.”

    Inspiration from the Rubble of the Berlin Wall

  5. Wait I just remembered a Fakemon I had:

    Billoflague
    The Sky Snake Pokemon
    Type: Flying/Poison
    Ability: Imtimidate (HA: Aerilate)
    Height: 4′ 09″
    Weight: 35 lbs
    Dex Entry: The cloud-like protrusions on their body allow it to blend in with clouds in the sky. They camouflage so well that they are practically unnoticeably from normal vision. Using this camouflage, they dive-bomb at mach speed towards bird Pokemon below and bite them with their toxins, paralyzing them. Its often the reason why Flying types fall out of the sky sometimes.
    Name Origin: Billoflague is a combination of Billow and Camoflague.

    Terompest
    The Sky Serpent Pokemon
    Type: Flying/Poison
    Ability: Imtimidate (HA: Aerilate)
    Height: 28′ 00″
    Weight: 105 lbs
    Dex Entry: Known as the “Terror of the Sky”, pilots are very nervous when flying by clouded areas. Some of these clouds are a nest full of Billoflague and Terompest, which Terompest will flash a light, warning those who come near. When passenger planes fly near Terompest nests, they are never seen ever again, disappearing from the radar…
    Name origin: Terompest is a combination of Terror, Furor, and Tempest.

    Evolutionary Line: Billoflague -(While holding the Sky Fang at level 45)-> Terompest

    They are based on the concept of snakes, particularly how snakes can sometimes camouflage, clouds, and Queztalcoatl

  6. So specifics on some Fakémon

    Got some green lacewings combined with the gem chrysoberyl – the first form is pure bug and is just a lacewing larvae but cuter and studded with chrysoberyl shards (Berylby, pure Bug), second form is a chrysalis made of chrysoberyl with two eyes peeking out of two holes (Chrysolis, Bug/Rock), third form is a big green lacewing but the the eyes and wing membrane are bright green chrysoberyl and the body is brown/gold/green

    Second line is a pure Grass Ragamuffin cat, and its based off of pussy willows. Its fur is white tipped with green, and looks as if it’s made of catkins.

    a aged women with a long robe and hood (very Arabic themed) she’s the leader of her village and many many MANY trainers and people constantly ask her for visions of the future to benefit themselves, so she can’t battle until her people are helped (especially after Team Quake stole a astrolabe from a temple they pray in)

    Eva
    Dragon
    The Riot Badge
    a Amazon women deep in her jungle like town, very tall and very strong with wild mannerisms, she claims her spirit is as wild as a ferocious as the dragons she commands

  19. Ok then. So some changes to Rad Red:

    – Major story changes.
    – No E4

    So basically… who wants to be a gym leader?

    Type and team. Gen 3 mons only. No fairy type (sadly)

  21. What type of animal is always cool (to you) as a pokemon?
    For me there has yet to be a disappointing crab pokemon design wise. Kingler is so cool looking. Crawdaunt (yea yea) Is awesome and strong. Crabominable is sooo adorable I love it.

  24. Zelda: BotW is already sold out for the Switch in this country. So if you have a Switch preordered and not the game the console is useless…

    • Earthen has switch and Breath reserved since day one, and i managed to get a Guardian Amiibo

      The Earthinator is highly prepared

      Reply

    • Or you know you can play the indie releases/small games that are coming to it like I am Setsuna, The binding of Issac, cave story, ect. And even then they’ll probably be restocked pretty quickly given cartage production’s going to generally be faster then console production.

      Reply

        • Why not re-buy them? I own a number of the games that are coming on it already on PC, but the prospect of being able to play them portable is enough of a selling point to me personally. That and it seems that these ports are also a means of dev’s throwing in features that they wanted to try with the original, making them the definitive versions(like I am Setsuna getting a PvP mode or the like).

          Reply

          • That’s the thing tho, this would appeal to some people and not to others. It’s unfair to assume people would want to rebuy a game just to make up for something that isn’t really their fault

      • Yeah, there’s plenty of stuff to do with, I was only halfly joking. But it would suck because everyone who buys a Switch day one does it mostly for Zelda and if you can’t get it…

        Reply

        • Yeah, but chances are people bought the game with the console already if that was their plan, and probably people bought the game who don’t have the console yet simply because they missed the preorder window.

          Reply

          • Probably. It’s weird for a game to be supply constrained however, it doesn’t happen a lot, especially since they got preorders in for quite a few months.

      • Money isnt the issue for me but i’m not gonna pay 500+ euros for a console which currently only has 1 game that interests me. I’ll wait it out until at least summer

        Reply

        • That one game does it for me however, but wanting to wait is a totally valid opinion. I know I’d be getting one anyway, so better sooner than later. 🙂

          Reply

          • That’s true, but the switch is sort of an investment for the future games I want to play in that sense. Plus the fact that I wouldn’t be playing the optimal version of BotW would bother me.

      • I really don’t see what preording has anything to do with devs not finishing games…

        It might be pointless for software, but for things like the switch there’s definitely a good reason for preording.

        Reply

          • That’s true, but in some cases not preordering means missing out anyway. And Nintendo has a pretty good track record for their main franchises. I’m not saying BotW will the best game ever already, but it’s not going to be a polished turd.

          • I’d rather wait and get a good game than pre-order and risk getting a broken one. And sure Nintendo 99% of the time puts out quality games but imagine being someone who preorders a virtual boy.

            Like I want to be sure the thing I’m paying hundreds of dollars for is good

          • That’s a pretty normal reasoning, and the way I do it for most of my stuff. But if I don’t preorder I miss out on very cool limited editions or I have to wait in the case of the Switch, so that’s when you compare to the risks against each other and decide which one is more important for you.

          • Would you rather miss out on a potentially great product? There very much is an exception, even if the Switch sucks like the Wii U, I’d still without a doubt have bought it. I like to play Nintendo games mostly, so regardless of whether it sucks or not I’ll need the hardware.

          • Right, but I want to play BotW in its optimal state, even if the differences are minimal. That plus the fact that there are games coming later that I want to make sure I have the hardware for made me decide to preorder.

          • For me it’s more about moveability than portability combined with couch gaming, I hardly take my 3DS with me everywhere I go. I do plan on buying an extra dock just for my dorm and for home.

          • The docks seem way too expensive for what they actually are TBH.

            The one thing I am a little concerned about is storage without a case on the go. It won’t really fit in my pockets, and my backpack gets banged around a lot, so I can’t put it in there. Honest I’m considering padding up a shoebox and putting it in the car for safe, hidden storage.

          • The dock does come with a extra AC adapter (which is $30 seperately) and a HDMI cable ($5 dollar seperately). I agree it’s expensive though for what it does, but I still need one.

            And just get a case, I’m still debating which case to get though, haven’t seen the perfect one yet.

          • Then if you’re willing to miss out on BotW at launch altogether, then there’s no incentive for you to buy a switch now, so that’s fine.
