A NeoGAF user has received their Nintendo Switch pre-order a whopping two weeks early and has taken the opportunity to upload a short video showing the initial set-up of the console as well as its menus.
There’s even a black system theme which will be perfect for late-night under the covers gaming!
FEATURED DISCUSSION: You’re a Pokémon Professor what is your area of research?










here’s my icewater type idea i got the first pokemons name there but i don’t know what i would name the second one.

Tslushnami? Tundrip?
Fridrench!
This is…… AMAZING!!!! GOOD WORK!
These look great.
As for names hm… Slucier (Slush+Glacier, slushy-er)?
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW i left my stupid Pokerus leveler in the field…..damn it
oh screw it, i basically use Pokepalago for EVs now anyway
Horde Team Aqua/Magma grunt battles was such a cool idea
(Cough cough that one TEAM skull battle)
??
Please, give us more specifications if I may ask
Poni island, the one where they talk about Rescuing Guzma
I remember my reaction when that happened, I was like: “wait I have to fight the 5…….AT THE SAME TIME!?!”
..
..
..
Nice
Shame it only happened a few times. It would be cool if it also had a horde with an Admins ‘mon in the centre.
Y’know what would’ve made it better? If they weren’t like 20 levels underleved. I get that’s just balancing and all but it’s too low.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa omg mega banette is so cool with its cool banana fingers
Banana fingers…………….. Now I can’t unsee that…
Why does it always take so long to get the good TMs like Thunderbolt?
To make you use more of the others and to balance out the earlier game?
I feel like making a electric type…but what is left….
i already have a Fox, Stegosaurus, Gremlin, Anemone, Pangolin and a Jellyfish Brain…..
i want to make some kinda monster that uses Electricity to strengthen its muscles but that sounds too close to Electivire
What is left
Maybe a mythological creature? Or possibly a bull that’s pure Electric, which as it runs towards the opponent, it generates electricity to deliver a deadly blow from its horns. It could also strengthen its muscles from the build-up of electricity from moving.
Nah if i were to use a bull it would be for a Fire starter
it would be a simple Red and black bovine calf with the ability to snort flames, into a slightly bigger bull with flame decals and wild fire burning in its belly that causes it to be wild and finally OHOHOHOOOOO a big bad Bull with anger issues to rival my own, it gets so angry so easily its entire body engulfs in flames and rampages until it burns itself out
Like my Fire Starter
Just only the bull part
i’ve had this prior to sun and moon’s reveal
Elfectrick (Elf+Electric+Trick) Electric/Fairy
no more fairies surprisingly i have plenty
no i just can’t think of nothing
Wirevern Electric/Dragon.
Ooookk yep. Gen 6 is my least favorite gen. That Archie battle was so easy it physically hurts
I MEAN SERIOUSLY LIKE
> Mega Sharpedo
> Giga Drain
> You Win
That’s gen 6 in one word. Easy.
What is even the point of playing it? I don’t feel like I’m overcoming anything.
The only battles that had a good challenge were Steven, Wallace (2nd battle) and Zinnia (if you don’t use Mega-Ray) The others were easy
Only battle i lost in ORAS was Zinnia even using Mega Ray. And XY was Siebold for his Starmie overwhelmed Chesnaught once after I had beaten Drasina or the dragon lady
ughhhhhhh i want to play Sunshine or Banjo Tooie but i still don’t feel up to it, i’m just sitting on my laptop rambling about nothing until something arouses my interests and keeps me busy until March 3rd and the the day of glory
Me too, me too…
so that guy who got the switch early Nintendo got back
r.i.p that guy
i’m surprised he wasn’t overrun by Nintendo Ninjas and sent to a torture room where you must play Sticker Star for the rest of your sentence
Nah… all 3 zelda philips CDi games
Yeah, it’s kind of a shady story now and I don’t know who to believe anymore. Some directions point to the Switch being stolen in the first place…
I would steal one in a heartbeat if given the opportunity and a clean get away
Also good to see you Dae how long has it been
Went skiing and now it’s been a full week of class. I’m fine but exhausted, even in the weekends I have to wake up early. But Zelda is here within two weeks so I’m starting to get excited :).
Also am slightly mad because I preordered all the amiibo but they cancelled the order by accidant and now I don’t know if I’ll get them by release.
I got the Guardian i was gonna spring for a Bokoblin but i’m bleeding my wallet dry with this and i got a ton of other bills to pay….sadly i gotta draw the line between financial stability and the length and girth of my e-penis
wait uh…. did.. did I miss the master ball? I’m right infront of the cave of origin and I dont have a master ball
I don’t remember having one but then I never use them anyway.
I just wanted to catch Kyogre quickly… maybe I somehow missed it?
Dunno but Dive will catch it pretty easy anyway.
You get it in evil team’s hideout, so you could’ve missed it easily
OH YES LET ME JUST GIVE YOU THE BLUE ORB THAT ALMOST CAUSED THE END OF THE WORLD
http://pre15.deviantart.net/79ce/th/pre/f/2013/207/9/c/water_cycle_by_epifex-d64rx49.png
I never even thought of this omg
Well, at my first playthrough of Sapphire when I was around 9 years old, I thought ‘God, Team Aqua are stupid’.
I never thought about the fact that he literally just makes rain clouds. Hence why Team Magma is the better team
Not really, because Team Magma would just contribute to the water cycle too. By drying up oceans, clouds are formed that form rainclouds and let it rain again. Just can’t get over the fact that the water mass remains constant.
omg you’re right. dang it… no one put any thought into this did they? Including me because I should’ve thought of that
Well putting aside basic science we still don’t know if Kyogre or Groudon directly minipulate the troposphere to create weather out of thin air or just move it into effect
I mean with Sunny Day and Rain Dance these effects are purely generated on a localized scale but we don’t know how K and G do it, for all we know Kyogre just creates its own rainstorms with its own perspiration and adds it to the sky
And same for Groudon that the immense heat just vaporizes all moisture and eradicates it completely
So all I have left is the E4 and the Delta Episode so cool
I really love my team. I think the only one that was disappointing was Meowstic. She just didn’t do much. I wish I used Gardevoir or Gallade looking back. Something a bit more interesting would’ve been nice
ehhh the Delta Episode was just eye candy
Whatever her name was really doesn’t do anything
it was basically bactracking
a whole lot of gabbing
and lackluster battle
Well Zinnia is super cool and so is going up to space on a fucking green snake dragon to fight an alien but everything else is just bleh
Is she? she did absolutely nothing but gab and loot off screen
Well.. I think she’s cool at least
typical, y’all are blindsided by her Dragons and Short Shorts and don’t realize she really doesn’t do anything remotely noteworthy
Oh of course I am but she just needs to be put in Stars or D/P remakes and they can make her good
Only part I liked of Delta episode… I used my new Cyndaquil
did you upvote your own post?
Been wanting to say this but Question for y’all about my new thingwant to see if you get it right
Who is my avatar?
Stupid Snowman Digimon
Frigimon
Yep
Old reliable?
Wait no, it’s Frigimon I think
Yep.
Great, now can you guess who is my avatar and what game it came from? >:)
Final Fantasy?
Final fantasy tactics, and it’s a Chocobo 🙂
Is it a chocobo?
Yep
Not sure but unfinished version of Tryma from Fossil Fighters?
Sorry, wrong answer, but you at least tried 😀
Yeah
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1487453624775.gif

Oh dam the thick beard didn’t shown in the pic …….but being with out gender is a very good idea like legendary pkmn ……in this case I don’t need any one to complete me ……but I am pathetically a rage dark male.

Dude!
Broham!

what are your thoughts on yokai watch because i’m playing it and it’s pretty good so far.
[insert opinion here]
sooo funny >:( but nah it’s pretty funny tho.
I haven’t played it
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/32b67d53efda5561b2f4b34ef0997a6c2e06077095d56ccd31557c800cc5c229.gif
okay but the characters are cool in fleshy souls.
Do you have Boyclops yet?! If you do since your often here when I find my blue case will you trade me one?
i guess if i get one maybe wait like a day or so because that might be when i get boyclops. okay?
Okay
alright and i named my brushido pine sol.
My second favorite game in history right behind Pokémon
I found it to be a very weird Dkgimon spin-off
JK 😛
well i bore…..and my gullet hungers for nachos
Who ever thought that Mega Rayquaza was a good idea? It’s literally the most overpowered Pokémon ever, in all aspects. Best base stats, mega evolution without an item, great typing, ability that just removes almost all negatives of the typing…
And where’s my damn Mega Excadrill
Probably where my Mega Keckleon is
no more Hoenn let other gens get their share
Specifically gen 5 and 6
Still baffled they didnt give any gen 6 mons a mega except for Diancie
Some needed them
Oh right then my M-Ambipom
If they add a M-Ambipom, it should have 3 hand-tails instead of 2
Mega Froslass plz
Same place as my Mega Luxray
The same place where my mega Porygon z is……. In my dreams
oh HEL NO isn’t Z-Conversion enough
And Mega Druddigon/Beartic
They should do the same with Giratina
>:)
YES
yeah i want mega black and white kyurem. heh
It seems this jerk ended catch Rockruff …..so how much should I wait to see him catch Litten I start to wary about that. http://is2.4chan.org/vp/1487439087062.jpg
He will, it’s an arc before capture, like Sandile had.
Perfection (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e3aebec5dd0fed774266d70b39feac08c67badf15dd952851b6673400072b5a8.jpg
yeah and kriketune too
Too bad kricketune is thrash
shush garbodor is too.
Poor man’s Muk
no more equal man’s muk because the stats are more equal than weezing and muk.
Muk>>>>
meh whatever i think yamask is cute but i would still evolve it.
TELELELELELE WHOOOP
That’s not Lopunny
Lopunny is adorable af
no it’s pyroar’s beta form.

I can see the perfection in his eyes ……I am kinda curious wat kind of ideas come to this psycho mind. http://is2.4chan.org/vp/1487450171097.png
Cover star of Pokemon Stars
i hate this thing on so many levels
it’s yet another bulky legend
i hate how they did the feet
it should’ve been a Rock/Psychic
and it stole and ripped off Solid Rock
AND THEY JUST HAAAAAAAAD TO GIVE IT STEALTH ROCK
Dat design tho
you won’t be saying that when it caused you nothing but stalling and walling
U need to achieve geometric art more.
You need to shut up
piece of dust u need to return to the bottom hell ……I made a grave for u there.
Bring me memories of my Platinum playthrough, it was one of my most useful mons until I changed it for a Magnezone :^)
Mega Excadrill
Ground/Steel
Tough Claws or Sand Rush
it’s body remains mostly the same except its diamond markings getting longer and wilder, its feet gain tiny claws and its mighty arm claws extend longer and each individual claw has a “fin” where its original middle fin is longer and red, its horns do the exact same and the red markings on its cheeks now fuse and gloss over its eyes like scars.
“Energy pours into Excadrill’s claws making them tougher than ever, while spinning at top speed Excadrill can bore halfway across the globe under a minute”
HP 110
ATK 135 175 (+40)
DEF 60 80 (+20)
SP ATK 50 25 (-25)
SP DEF 65 85 (+20)
SPD 133 (+45)
http://img09.deviantart.net/0ac5/i/2015/105/8/9/mega_excadrill_by_chaoaangelmoon-d89fiu7.jpg
This looks no different than reg excadrill
well the guy did a lousy job
huh. So interesting thing related to the switch. The director of FF14 announced that his team is looking into the possibility of porting the game to the switch. Granted its nothing confirmed for it yet, or if the switch could even handle it well, but its interesting to hear that a dev is considering the console for an MMO. Also blitz ball was confirmed so that makes me really happy.
Wow, if it gets to the switch I might get it, heard nothing but praise from this game :0
It is a fantastic MMO. Easily the best one on the market as of now with a fantastic story worthy of the final fantasy name, a beautiful sound track, and one of the best dev teams I’ve ever scene with how much they love the games community, right down to the director loving to dress in costume when attending fan events(this time dressing as a Samurai).
Last Trial Complete
Seriously Trial Kommo-o is the biggest joke trial.
Number of Deaths on Poni: 7
Number of Deaths in Total: 37
Number of Pokemon still alive: 5!! Yes Seriously 5 pokemon. My team is slowly dying >.<
Team:
Reign (Slowking)
Bubby (Wailord)
Godzilla (Exeggcutor)
Ryuko (Kommo-o)
Goliath (Golisopod)
Yes I lost my starter. I was doing so good, but the first trainer I battled on Poni has a +4 level jump AND a random Z-Poison. Killed Eva the Primarina ;~;. But my sadness was restored when my first encounter was a 5% Jangmo-o I was so excited to see it. There is only one other place I can do a reasonable encounter. Other than that, this is pretty much my team ;~;. Is this GG for me? Will I beat the e4???
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/268bc2865d9a233c77ee96ea347e3a995539a43bb5ae5cb82cb7b9a178287988.gif
You have the king of monsters itself in your team, of course you’re going to beat the e4 :^)

Yep hes gonna battle students at the school and uses Breakneck Blitz with Rockruff
I wonder if he’s going for day or night form
Think day because the upcoming episode focuses on midnight form
A wild midnight form*
I hope Rockruff doesn’t take too long to howl, though which it will become idk, probably Midday even though Midnight kinda suits Ash’s battle style.
I cannot express how much I despise Rotation Battles… Thanks Charles

I miss triple and rotation battles so much ;-;
Yea rotataions were trash.
But triples were nice
Also, whats taking so long on this LP. Im not rushng but you started before me ,and Im way ahead of you
I would play it every day, but last week was crammed with stuff, so I wasn’t able to do anything on my Black run as much.
Now with everything out of the way from last week, I have more time for Black.
Gothitelle is one of my favorites <3
