  1. I’ve taken the Switch in and out of the dock a few times and I have yet to see a single scratch, let alone those huge gashes in the pictures circulating online. I believe this is an inside job by Nintendo to sell more screen protectors.

  2. Oh right I want to say it really badly now I’ve decided to tell y’all… My second Fan-Games Astral and Stellar will have access to a new planet! And on that planet live 9 new Pokémon lines based on the rest of the constellations (all of which have a type that corresponds o their element)

    Pokedex Entry: Ledipion are incredibly rare in the wild because only one in an entire colony actually reaches this form. In order to do so, a Ledian is required to become the strongest member of the group. Once this happens, the Ledian will leave the hive to train even further. While the method may vary, the Ledian either returns as a Ledipion, or dies while training.

    Pokedex Entry: After long periods of exposure to the energy of the stars, Ledian begin to change form from all the energy they have gathered and are encased in a cocoon of blinding light. When they emerge, the energy has fully spread across their bodies, unlocking their secret potential. Their wings now work like armored plates and glow with energy during the night. Seeing one glowing is said to bring good luck.

    If you are wondering where the actual hell the second evolution came from, look at it’s pokedex entry (I believe it’s ORAS where it says it).
    They describe it as using star related energy

  4. Apparently there is an NPC in BOTW who basically nearly kills you if you trample on the flowers near her

  5. Pokedex Entry: 35

    Height: 7’11
    Weight: 263.9 Lbs
    Typing: Bug/Poison
    Ability: Web Trap

    Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon is feared by natives who live around it because of it’s terrifying webs. It is said that once something enters its web, it can never escape. Anything that gets stuck, no matter what it is, becomes its prey. Unless it is expanding the size of its web or moving toward prey, it never moves. If the web becomes at risk of destruction, the Sinestaria will become merciless and defend it with its own life.
    Evolves From Ariados: Level 38

    Web Trap: The opposing Pokemon is slowed by one stage and cannot escape battle. This applies to any opponent that switches in as well. Has no effect on bug or flying types.

    • That ability seems OP. My idea for Ariados Evo involved its whole body secreting web like fluid that increases its defenses and gives it the Gooey Ability. It becomes largely grey and it has barbs along its forelegs kinda like batmans gauntlet spikes.

      • Here’s the little catch to this
        1. It’s like shadow tag, this only works for as long as it is in
        2. What is this thing even outspeeding?

        Reply
        • It can still be used to slow opponents just by being in and then it traps them too. I think it should either be like a Speed version of Intimidate or a Bug version of Shadow Tag. It doesn’t necessarily matter if it is outspeeding anything.

          Reply
          • I know what you mean, it’s just hard to make a lore based ability since it’s a web that’s supposed to trap the foe but I made it slow cause of sticky web
            I was originally thinking speed would return to normal once the pokemon Sinestaria faints, but I’ll probably edit it
            Keep in mind, I have zero feedback besides here

          • I see
            I think I’ll stick to the bug shadow tag, but thanks for giving your opinion regardless!

  6. Quick Survey
    What playstyle of the Switch do you find yourself using the most?
    Dual Joycons
    Grip
    or Handheld

    and follow up T.V mode or Portable

    Reply
    • Me i’ve actually find it much more comfortable having each joy con in each hand (because i think i have the desynching issue, or that Charge grip wonks out and it freezes in a direction and keeps moving)

      Reply
    • I’ve only used the grip and handheld so far, and I have to say, I really like the grip. I think I’m getting a Pro Controller next week so that will be another primary controller. Last night I played a few hours of handheld mode and I’ll probably do more tonight, but it’s been TV most of the time.

  7. As good as BOTW, it doesn’t come close to being a better game than Pokemon Z…. oh wait that doesn’t exist

  8. Well as promised to Falco I will show my Spinda Evo

    Faintada
    The Knock Out Pokémon
    Type: Normal
    Ability: Trick Health
    “Only a Spinda who has spun way to much can become Faintada, they have almost no focus and normally when fighting will attack anything and everything in its path due to lack of understanding whats friend and whats foe.”
    Evloves at Level 40 if it faints in battle

    Trick Health- If it’s at full health and is hit into the red health it fully heals itself (not yellow) (If it is hit by Toxic, Spikes, ect. Its ability fails)

  9. I remember when I drew a sword on a piece of paper….

  10. Trying to make a slaking type ability since I’m making a slaking-esque mon
    (Great stats, shit ability to balance)
    And I’m struggling to make it

    • Distraction – after a while the Pokemon becomes distracted and stops paying attention to oncoming attacks. Every 3 turns evasion drops x1 or something like that.

      Reply
      • Hmmmmmm
        That can work
        I was thinking of basing this around hunger since it would fit the context of the fakemon at hand

  11. Just curious, has anyone else ever put together a themed competitive team? I’d love to hear about those!

    For example, I have my Oz themed competitive team, which has worked surprisingly decent:

    – Ambipom (Nikko)
    – Mismagius (Mombi)
    – Stoutland (Toto)
    – Florges-Red (Poppy)
    – Bisharp (Nick Chopper)
    – Pyroar (Cowardly)

    Reply
    • I’ve had one in mind for the Straw Hat Crew from One Piece, not competitive though.

      – Aipom (Luffy)
      – Golurk (Franky)
      – Bisharp (Zoro)
      – Hitmonlee (Sanji)
      – Liepard (Nami)
      – Nuzleaf (Usopp)

  12. GUYS I FINALLY FINISHED TWILIGHT PRINCESS

    So actually I first bought the game 6 years ago. I was just getting into Zelda and I saw it at game stop and bought it used. But I sucked at it and never made it that far.

    Later, 3 years ago I would reach the Palace of Twilight. But I sucked so I got stuck.

    And here I am! After a 6 year struggle, I beat this damn game and I just adore it! For real my favorite Zelda (until I get my hands on BOTW). I love the characters, I love the bosses, I love the dungeons I especially love the ending and just the insane final bosses and of course… my girl Midna.

    Whelp, time for a total change in tone and finish Banjo-Kazzoie!

  13. Guys I have been catagorizing for a while that certain games fall into seasonal categories like

    Winter:

    Spring:

    Summer: Kirby

    Fall: Pokémon, Yo-kai Watch, most games

    Yeah most of my data I have forgotten but I’m right about this for sure

  14. I like how the sun and moon character clearly loves every single food (And it is stated in specific detail) in the entire game except for the Special Z-Set (It’s in the Konikoni restaurant) which they are COMPLETELY DISGUSTED BY
