New Nintendo Direct Announced

A new Nintendo Direct has been announced for April 12 (3PM PT/6PM ET) with new information about Nintendo Switch and 3DS games. The main focus will be on Arms and Splatoon 2, but we will probably hear about other games as well.

Anyone want to be super optimistic and hope for our first Pokémon Stars tease?!

    • How does that prevent hype tho? If it’s on during an exam or revision you could easily just avoid news about it and then search up the Nintendo YouTube or some shizz and get the exact same result as the peeps who’ll be eagle eying all media until the thing literally pops up

      • It sorta does though.
        Like I won’t be able to watch it, nor would I be able to be happy about the news since I’ll be more focused on them.

          • The direct is in 2 days later.
            Exams over on may 18th.
            I’ll watch the direct when I get free time sometime next week, but it’s not the same

          • It probs isn’t going to be anything big anyway, if ORAS and SuMo are anything to go by we’ll probs just get a title and maybe a concept art or two if we’re lucky if it’s a Pokemon game in the first place

            Unless they announce some new badass switch or 3DS game in which case yeah I feel ya bruv

  2. IK its focused on Splatoon 2 and Arms but Knowing Nintendo they are gonna put a teaser trailer for a upcoming game. They always do some sneaky shit

    Reply
  3. Interesting that they’d bring the 3DS into this if it’s going to be mostly Arms and Splatoon 2 focused. I imagine they’ve got some smaller games to show off for the 3DS and then we’ll get release dates for Arms and Splat 2

  4. To anyone getting their hopes up for a Pokemon announcement out of this direct: Don’t!! It has been a while since Pokemon has had any major announcements out of a regular direct. If something was in there they would have teased it. In all likelihood we’ll get a Pokemon announcement in a separate announcement made by TPCI

  6. if a pokemon game, please let it be a gen 4 remake. thats the only one that had pokemon contest, if they update it like one in anime when serena performed.
    But if not a remake add something girls want to do as well, also not every girl wants to used a purse, me honestly want a stylish backpack.

  7. another thing the pokemon company should do is look at the best fan art, i mean alot of people can agree that some fan art is really good. P.S. still waiting on that dolphin pokemon.

          • fight the rising odds?
            Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
            Late at night I toss and I turn
            And I dream of what I need
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
            He’s gotta be strong
            And he’s gotta be fast
            And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
            He’s gotta be sure
            And it’s gotta be soon
            And he’s gotta be larger than life!
            Larger than life
            Somewhere after midnight
            In my wildest fantasy
            Somewhere just beyond my reach
            There’s someone reaching back for me
            Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
            It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
            He’s gotta be strong

            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
            Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
            Out where the lightning splits the sea
            I could swear there is someone, somewhere
            Watching me
            Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain
            And the storm, and the flood
            I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
            He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast
            And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light

            And he’s gotta be larger than life
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
            He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast
            And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
            He’s gotta be sure
            And it’s gotta be soon
            And he’s gotta be larger than life
            I need a hero
            I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night

  8. Im crossing my fingers we DONT get a Pokemon Stars announcement. Sun&Moon were ok, but if we never got Kalos 2.0, I dont see how we can justify an Alola 2.0 less than a year later, and on the Switch no less

    Reply
    • Ehh, I’d sooner believe that Nintendo would go 3rd party then dropping the 3DS as of this moment. By their own word they really can’t drop it right now, and its fairly unlikely that the Switch could ever fully carry both branches of Nintendo’s markets.

      Reply
        • That’s likely, but no matter what it won’t change the fact that the Switch will always have a high price for entry, which the handheld market doesn’t tolerate and for better or worse games made for the switch will always be designed for the home console market first, hence why its a home console first and a portable second. You really can’t have a game designed for both markets, or at least any attempt to do so would kinda naturally gravitate to one side with what would feel like some tacked on features.

  9. People complain about Sinnoh’s pacing but god, gen 6’s was so bad. You fight the first gym then you gotta go to campfire town, then go to the mansion that’s covered in trainers, do a worse version of the farcetched puzzle in Johto, get hit on by Shauna, wake up snorlax, go to the mini battle maison, go through a cave, go through a super slow route on a Rhyhorn, another cave, Team Flare (the worst evil team ever, you think literal Pokémon nazis would be at least be threatening), THEN GO THE NEXT TOWN, THEN YOU CAN FIGHT THE GYM.

  14. WHERE DID ALL THESE ADS COME FROM

    I’m honestly not expecting much other than updates and teases of games already announced. E3 is where it’ll be at.

  15. Milotic, Cresselia, Lake Guardians,Mega Absolute and Mismagius all should’ve been fairies

    Darkrai should be a Ghost

    Xerneas and Xurkitree should be Grass

    Toucannon should’ve been steel

    Staraptor should’ve been fighting

    Reply
    • that’s dumb those pokemon have nuthing to do with faeries
      not a ghost
      just because they resemble trees don’t make them plants
      if anything should’ve been a fire type
      again you think that because of Close Combat

      Reply
      • I’ll give you a better argument when I come back but

        Banshee literally means fucking fairy in gaelic

        Banshees are fairies

        Mismagius is a banshee

        Reply
      • Okay but how can anyone disagree about cresselia.
        It looks like it.
        It’s based On the moon, which is the basis of fairy type.

        Reply
        • Lunala gets a pass because it has two types already and Solgaleo isn’t the obvious fire either

          #Cresselia was robbed

          Reply
        • i can easily since the whole moon v fairy thing is very much not a real thing unless proven otherwise
          and don’t forget it stops nightmares which is a mental thing

          Reply
      • Okay since I’m walking up to meet my friends I can type

        Elf, pixie, sprite. All types of fairies or fairy like beings. All three look like fairies. The Fairy plate is literally called the Pixie Plate.

        Megabsol has angel themes, Gardevoir, Togekiss and Megaudino all do too and are fairies.

        Milotic is a siren/mermaid, if Primarina is a Water/Fairy Milotic should be too. So helps with contrast against Gyarados.

        Banshees are literally fairies. Next.

        Cresselia has the obvious moon themes, but also has the role of a protector and a guardian, similar to modern depictions of fairies. If Dedenne is a fairy, Cresselia should be. Also helps with the light vs dark theme with Darkrai.

        Staraptor is combatitive, learns a decent chunk of fighting moves, and with that mohawk certainly looks like a fighter. Also, reckless referring to its fighting style, its skilled enough to partake in close combat with talons.

        Toucannon’s beak heating up was ample opportunity to change it from normal but they didn’t, Steel avoids Fire like Talonflame to keep it unique.

        Reply
        • I get that but they’re supposed to represent human emotions which is all mental
          and the where are you getting an angel from Mega Absol other then the fur standing up (and Play Rough)
          again Milotic is not a siren just a bloody fish that got bootyful
          I still see it more Witch like then banshee (maybe Misdreavus maybe)
          Again the whole moon thing doesn’t sell the Fairy thing, and Cresselia is not a protector nor a guardian (and everyone knows they slapped on Fairy to Dedenne because it was the time fairies came out)
          Well it’s a bird of prey saying so, but just because it leans a chunk of 3 fighting moves doesn’t issue being a full fledged fighting type
          Again the beak just isn’t metal enough to be a steel, should’ve been a fire type but i guess not

      • I actually don’t think it would be a huge leap. This is the first Direct since the Switch launch and they need to show people that they are still invested in the 3DS. They could just show a short trailer and say “more information soon”.

  21. Well at Gamestop the worker said they are making Stars for the Switch going to test for it to see if it is works on it if so will produce it and if sales are good they are fully converting, but if not it stays on 3DS

    Reply
  22. I hope Stars is teased, but usually Pokemon reveal a new game separately from Nintendo Directs. But since Marshadow was revealed and there’s an emphasis on Sinnoh for the 20th movie, maybe we could expect an announcement for Sinnoh Remakes at the direct.

  23. Down to 9 Shrines and one single memory remaining in BotW. I really don’t want to look up a guide for those shrines because I didn’t really do it for any of the other ones. Maybe I don’t have a choice though…

  24. Wait Big Bro you gave me an idea

    Pick out your Western Zodiac Element and your Chinese Zodiac Animal, then make a Fakemon based around it. Earth can be Grass, Ground, Rock, and Bug; Fire can be Fire, Fighting, Steel, and Fairy; Water can be Ice, Water, Poison and Dark; and Air can be Dragon, Flying, Ghost, and Normal.

    so thoughts?

    • Ehh, hard call, but I’d say given its about 2 months to E3, we won’t see any new games. Maybe localizations/ports, but nothing new.

      Reply
      • Mm, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get an announcement before E3 for the Pokemon game seeing ad the past few games haven’t been announced at big events, and since it’ll likely be a third version/remake I’m wondering if it’ll even show up at E3 (iirc ORAS didn’t, I might be speaking rubbish tho)

        That of course is completely based off of the past, traditions can be broken

        Reply
        • Who knows really, but given the next games in the remake schedule are the Sinnoh games, its a hard call. Their very love hate, and it could be something you want to announce at E3 since people more complained about the gen 4 engine then gen 4 being bad. But who really knows.

          As for third versions, I don’t find it likely. Its fairly clear that they’ve abandoned the idea of making them.

          Reply
    • It would be very, very bizarre if GF waited until beyond early May to announce this year’s game. I feel like, why would they wait a few weeks to announce at the last minute instead of using this Direct opportunity?

      • If the word impossible says “I’m possible” does that mean that the word is saying that the word is possible itself? meaning that the impossibility is a possibility?

    Reply
    • Too be fair though part of the issue with Sombra was the fact that her build up was hinted in coded messages that less then one percent of players could figure out, so their was some salt built up there. But yeah, its great to see some new story content. Now all I need is some sort of necromancer omnic/cyborg and this game will be perfection to me.

  28. Choosing a Ground type in gen 4 is so difficult, between Garchomp, Mamoswine, Gliscor Hippowdon, Torterra and Gastrodon we’re pretty spoilt for choice.

    Reply
    • Also Torterra, Rhyperior (yeah, yeah, I know, it’s earthen’s thing, but I kinda like it), and steelix if we’re factoring in past ones.

      Reply
      • Yeah, I edited in Torterra, kinda forgot to mention Rhyperior ’cause it used to be a pain to get. I think I’ll just stop team planning until remakes are actually announced because I’m annoying myself :/

  29. Here are my direct predictions:

    ARMS
    —————–
    – New characters briefly shown off
    – Story mode trailer
    – Details on the different modes
    – Release date: May 26th

    Splatoon 2
    ———————–
    – Each map featured on day one will be briefly shown off
    – Story mode trailer
    – Possibily details on modes coming post-release
    – Release date: June 23rd

    Other
    —————–
    – Possibly another Echoes trailer, though it would be pointless now
    – A minor surprise announcement (nothing huge, E3 is right around the corner)

    On the subject of Pokemon, I honestly think it’s possible. While GF usually does their own thing, the timing is pretty on target at this point. While it’s still unlikely, I’m not going to dismiss the idea altogether.

    Reply
    • Well we’re definitely closing the gap for pokemon. We have about 3 weeks for confirmation until there’s likely no game this year.

      Reply
      • A bit more than that. I’m saying E3 is the deadline. I’m not saying they would reveal the game at E3, but they would definitely want to have announced it before hand. I’d say if we don’t have anything by June 1 it isn’t happening this year.

        Reply
          • In all fairness though, if it was only a remake that would be enough time. Most people would know the vast majority of the game, and the hype for it would be around any new changes made.

          • Yeah, but they gave ORAS a full half year and that was pretty short compared to previous releases. And if it’s not on the 3DS and is on the switch, I feel like they’d delegate more time to hype it and reveal graphical upgrades.

          • Personally I think its way to early to be thinking of switch games. Like it’ll be at least another 2 years before we see anything pokemon on the switch.

            As for the time compared to ORAS; it could be that they’ve learned from it and that remakes don’t need as much hype, or simply aren’t worth it. Not much gets changed with the remakes, so its not like we need a ton of information to help hype us up. Maybe the new design’s of team galactic, the cover pokemon, the PC, and some of the new design’s would be enough, and maybe showing off the newer features that their playing around with.

          • I’m skeptical as well, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just willing to see that its possible. Heck Echoes is actually an acceptable game that doesn’t suck so I’d be willing to believe almost anything at this point.

  30. Tbh I don’t really like Wally’s battle music for ORAS. It feels more like an intro tune. There’s hardly any variation in it and it’s just repetitive. It really doesn’t give off a battle vibe to me.

    • I for one welcome seeing your joy of the game or your restless salt if it sucks after the first hour or so. Enjoy it Earthen.

  31. Random thought: what do you think this direct says about Splatoon 2’s release date? Since it’s featured here and not E3, do you think it means it’ll come out before E3, or do you think this means nothing?

    Reply
      • Ugh I hope not. I think Splatoon is a great summer title, and if I only have a few week with it befor school starts up again that’d suck. Maybe it just isn’t enough information to give it time at E3, but who knows.

        Reply
  32. Sounds like the GameXplain guys are 100% against the idea of a Pokemon reveal in this Direct. For this reason, I’m going to include it in MY predictions. Do they not realize that it would break all past tradition to reveal a Pokemon game at E3? I guess we’re left with 4 options: Pokemon in the Direct, Pokemon between E3 and the Direct, Pokemon at E3, or the most unpopular option…no Pokemon this year at all.

    Reply
    • I’m actually watching that part right now lol

      For one, there’s no way they would put an announcement at E3. I say it’s either before or no game this year.

      Reply
    • Oh yeah definitely. They haven’t done a full Pokemon reveal in a mixed Direct in a……Actually I’m pretty sure they’ve never done a full reveal in a mixed direct. It makes more sense for TPCI to put out their own video package so they don’t have to share air time.

  33. I pray we don’t repeat 2015 this year with just at best a few crummy free games and a Very crummy Side-Game for the whole Pokémon thing, but Sun and Moon was worth it yet Stars isn’t worth it to have a dry year

  43. So how many Pokemon have you all made of your least favourite type? I like most types, but it’s between dragon (find them boring sometimes, but I love the ones I like) and ground (I actually don’t mind the type in game, but I hate making mons for it)

    So I’ve got these for ground

    #038-Cattleyst (Cattle + Catalyst, Catalyst Cow) Electric/Ground
    #060-Rubblin (Rubble + Goblin, Ground) Ground
    #061-Harbreaker (Harbringer + Break, Terrain) Ground or Ground/??? (Electric/Psychic/Grass/Fairy)

  45. Last fakemon question spam, have any of you made new types? I’ve got Cosmic but I’m trying to avoid making things generic: just being alien isn’t enough, because they’re from another planet which isn’t the cosmos (outer space). The pokemon has to actively utilise the power of outerspace, hence why you won’t see Beeheeyem or Deoxys on the list, or Minior.

    • Well I agree about this direct not saying anything about Pokemon, but I would say if a game is coming out this year it’ll be announced earlier than E3. They’d need more time to talk it up and push it to consumers. It’ll either happen this month or next. I’d say if June rolls around we’re looking at a 1% chance of a main series game being announced. I’m not even sure if that 1% is worth it tho lol

    • Normal, Fire, Fighting, Water, Flying, Grass, Poison, Electric, Ground, Psychic, Rock, Ice, Bug, Dragon, Ghost, Dark, Steel and Fairy

      Jk ghost, dark and flying makes the most Sense

      Reply
    • Depends on the theme, you can give it tons of different themes that would correlate to a different type

      Flying’s obvious though, iirc the only flying bird that isn’t flying is Deci and that’s because they flippantly changed its type and poorly represented its ghost typing it honestly looks more like a pure grass grass/Ground grass/Dark or even grass/Flying to me tbh its actually based off mostly terrestial extinct owls, not a modern owl that spends most of its time flying or on trees despite the fact that this didn’t stop Doduo/Dodrio from being Flying and it’s whole feather theme makes me think of flying way over ghost

  50. Just watched the English dub of episode 4 of the Sun and Moon anime. I have to say I’m actually digging the comedy in this season. 2 things I know about this show from this episode. The first being that Bewear is the best thing invented since sliced bread. Bewear with Team Rocket is SO F’ING FUNNY!!! I knew from watching the first episode I’d like Bewear in the show, but at this point it’s validating why i liked Bewear when it was revealed lol The second I thing I know form this episode is that Rotom-Dex is the most annoying thing in the world. I don’t mind the voice acting, but why does it need to KEEP TALKING?!?!?! Like every 5 seconds it has something dumb to say………It really ruins what would otherwise be very funny scenes. I hope later on they dial it back on it chimecho-ing in ( I had to lol)

  51. Finished the final season of Korra. Now I feel… empty. Actually enjoyed the world of Korra more than that of The Last Airbender, but they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Really wishing for a new series/new spin-off in the coming few years. Found out they are creating a comic that continues the story from the final episode, further building Korra’s and Asami’s relationship, releasing this July. Definitely checking that out.

      • Found Zaheer to be a bit of a weird villain. Could have used a bit more backstory. You’re telling me this guy without bending at first was super dangerous and able to lead a group of one of the most powerful benders in the world? And after he is done for the Red Lotus never returns again? The rest is all very enjoyable though :).

        Reply
        • I think perhaps some of that was explained in the beginning of Book 3.
          Wasn’t he very well-read, and had studied a lot of works? I don’t think his power came from practice, but rather from wisdom.
          It’s been about 3 years though.

        • A flashback with him studying airbending techniques could’ve helped there. My main problem was how he magically got selected to be an airbender. They made it seem random, but that’s an awfully dangerous coincidence.

          Reply
          • That’s easily explained by the ‘faith’ mechanism in the series. The balance required him to go haywire, so Korra could stop him and learn something new. It’s the cycle of life, I guess.

    • Good to hear you enjoyed it. Personally I think the series is garbage and an insult to the Last Airbender, but more power to those who enjoyed it.

      Reply
        • Honesrly trying to explain my reasons for not liking it could easily turn into an essay, and I want to start that I have no problem with people liking Korra. Its a good series on its own, but when placed beside its orgional series, it looks worse in every possible way to me. I’ll try to do my best to sum up my thoughts though.

          Its just nearly every choice made about it kinda feels more like it was something the writers wanted to do for fun, but didn’t plan out in the long term. Like the main city being very clearly based off of NYC(though people argue it could be Hong Kong) which kind throws off the fact that the four nations were based on eastern cultures and kinda seems to come out of nowhere culturally. This is fine for something for a one off season, which is what Korra was planned as, but it showed that they didn’t plan for the chance of the series being given a second season. Then there’s Korra herself being more of a hot head and impulsive because they wanted to write someone who was opposite of Aang, but at the same time it doesn’t really make that much sense from a cultural stand point and the writers have even joked about the fact that Korra was a fire bender in a water benders body, which at that point I which they would have just made her a fire bender and had a throw away line that said the previous two avatars died young. Then theirs Mako, who’s incredibly boring, being put into a romance with her simply because the writers like KataraxZuko and wanted to try writing that out in Korra, ignoring the fact that the two characters had little to no chemistry with one another and thank goodness their relationship did end in season 2 as it was one of the better parts of that horrible season. And while I’ll openly say I do like who Korra does end up with, I do wish it was better hinted since as far as I can remember its more something that only starts to drop clear hints and not mindless shipping fodder in season 4. While on characters, Most of the case is really good IMO, but sadly its the majority of the leads that really kill it for me. And to stay positive for a moment I do think it did a good job fleshing out the world and explaining some aspects like the spirit world more. That’s always nice to see. But probably the thing that I hate the most is the villains of the series in that they range from trash tier characters that should have been throw out as soon as they were pitched to some of the greatest villains that I’ve scene in a long time and easily could, and should, have been a main threat for multiple seasons. My problem comes back to the issue that Korra was intended to be a one off season, which meant that they were never really certain how much time they would have for the series and thus kinda just churned out characters that had to be defeated in 13 episodes or so, which never really made them feel like that big of a threat. Honestly I’d go as far as saying the Last Air Bendsers villains, while some being worse individually, were perfectly done.

          I could probably keep going for a long time pointing out the things that I don’t like, but I think the biggest issue I have with it is kind of something that I applaud with the first show over Korra, and that’s very subtly the characters grow and mature to the point that by the end when your seeing them talk to Aang about killing the Fire Lord, most people react to it saying he hates killing because he’s a monk, and forget that he’s a 12 year old kid. That these characters over three seasons have grown into adults despite their age and watching the series again you notice this gradual change and realize how well it was handled. Korra on the other hand never really did that, at least to my eye. Characters never really grew or changed with time, even having a three year time skip at one point. We meet our characters as teenagers, and they never really grow beyond that, and that does irk me a lot. The Last Air Bender something that I’d go as far as arguing as saying its the best thing in western animation ever, and Korra, while its really good, just falls hard for me since its trying to compare to perfection in my eyes.

          But again more power to the people who do like it. I’ll admit I abandoned the series about half way through season 4 simply because I couldn’t stomach it anymore. Maybe its ending magically would win me over, but everything I’ve heard generally sounds like the series peaked at season 3, which I’ll admit was really good, though honestly probably should have been spread out over two seasons.

          Reply
          • Well, that’s a lot to reply to! Not going to write another essay, but I have to say I actually like how they fused Eastern and Western culture together. It’s set somewhere reminiscent of 1920’s and later, and the period leading up to that time period saw a huge shift from Eastern dominance to Western dominance. In that way the world felt alive and fresh compared to TLA, I don’t know if I really wanted yet another season set in the same world.

            And yes, the story moves a lot faster and there’s less room for character progression, but it comes with the upside of having no slack episodes. There are some times in TLA where the story really crawls along. That said, they both do their own stuff, and in a way that’s better than just getting more of the same.

  52. So I’m playing showdown and I’m playing this guy who has a very solid looking competitive team in AG. He sends out his Toxapex and I send out Skarmory. I taunt the Toxapex, and after he uses surf, he forfeits…

    The guy could’ve easily defogged it or something, but he just gave up all because his Toxapex got shut down :/

  53. Day 2 of Breath of the Wild I suppose

    I found a statue of Hylia in the woods but I couldn’t find the item it wanted. Ill come back to it later.

    After I finally left the forest I cleared a couple Shrines and found a horse stable. I found a horse and named him eggshells because his butt looks like a broken egg shell.

    Then I almost had a heart attack because of the blood moon. I was going up a hill when it all went red and I started freaking out looking around for and enemy or… something. Then a freaking merchant comes walking into my view and I freak out until the cutscenes starts and Zelda starts talking. It was spooky

    I wish Impa looked like how she does in Ss and OoT. I like her voice though.

    Lastly I made it to that other town next to Kakariko and found a girl who wanted me to go kill some monsters. By the beach. I proceeded to spend 30 minutes trying to stealthily blow them up with bombs from atop a cliff until I could safely go in and finish off the last couple.

    I adore this game

    • The statues of Hylia, at the Spring of Power/Wisdom/Courage, need scales from the dragons roaming around the world. At least one of them does, so I assume they all do. You can get the scales by shooting the dragon with an arrow; a scale will drop when you hit it

          • Yeah they take forever to finish games……..Ah now that you got me thinking about it again FFXV was such a a great game. It may have had a flaw here and there, but the whole thing was just awesome hahaha

  64. I’ll be able to get home about 30 minutes before the Direct starts. Score! Looking forward to enjoying it with you all.

  65. Just realised that the Direct starts at midnight where I live. And it’ll probably be few hours long. But at least I don’t have school tommorow.

  66. If a Pokemon game is announced, would you guys rather have:

    An Alola sequel?
    An Alola third version?
    Or
    A Sinnoh remake?

    • I saw an idea on Bulbagarden being tossed around about a Kanto/Johto sequel in the style of FE Fates. In one game you start in Kanto and in the other Johto. I’d be pretty down with that hahaha

      Reply
        • Ok ok here me out. I think people are more sick of the idea of Kanto than Kanto itself. Sure a fresh new game featuring one of the other regions would be amazing, but think about how cool Kanto and Johto would look in the SM engine. They’d need to spiff them up a bit and add new areas, but if that happened and they made the regions less empty then it would totes amaze balls lol

          Reply
          • Nah I just hate Kanto as a region

            I think the Pokemon are bland, the characters are bland, the region itself is bland, and I’d rather see Johto with better pacing and level curving then Kanto for the fifth time

          • But that’s what they would do in a sequel to make it better. they’d need to flesh it out anyway to fit the engine by adding new areas and making the old ones look more filled and less empty. As for the characters, if it’s a sequel the you’d get both new and old ones. They’ve obviously come a long way in terms of character design so even if old characters do show up they could be much more lively. Well anyway…..The idea I saw featured both Kanto and Johto so even if it was real you could still just play the Johto version hahaha

          • Except Kanto is too easy nostalgia bait so they’d probably keep everything as close as possible to the originals, and I’d rather see another region developed then Kanto for the fifth time in the franchise 😡

            I just think that other regions need it more because Kanto receives so much attention already 😡

  67. Anyone else want a Unova style ‘reboot’ region? But not only with a large amount of new Pokemon, but regional variants too?

  68. First Rhyperior, now Trevenant
    What’s with Duel and making low tier so powerful? Like legit, Trevenant is STUPIDLY good

    • I mean

      Has the exact same sound effect in its cry as the other UBs

      Possibly related to the Cosmog line who are UBs

      Learns moves and has stats at a prime number like UBs

      Reply
          • True but Cosmog & Cosmoem are pre-evolutions. Just wanna know more about Necrozma, such an intriguing creature

          • UBs probably have varying base stats, it’s just that the seven numbered ones happen to have the same BST because they all function as post game bosses (thus sharing the same role)

          • I want common ultra beasts, like Ultra Space Pidgeys and stuff XD

            Agreed, Necrozma arguably has even less backstory than Zygarde…

          • Well at least Necrozma was mentioned by Looker. Zygarde literally had no introduction whatsoever

          • It at least has its basic lore (defends Kalos, splits up so it can monitor, balances Yveltal and Xerneas) but it needs more imo

          • i miss the days that my theory for Zygarde’s secret power was planetary reset
            where it untimely judged humanity and deemed them too destructive to the ecosystem and decides to purge them and the planet so that new life could possibly do better in the next billions of years

          • (getting really annoyed with all the fam talk)
            and that would be much better then what it does now

          • Ehhh, I don’t see where you would’ve got that idea from, Zygarde seems more like it’d use its ability to rapidly assimilate and split up, as well as intense geokinesis

          • well it’s job is to protect the ecosystem and being a governor of the land i saw it having ultimate rights of the planet and it’s inhabitants (i mean nothing else ranked higher at the time) so planetary purge seemed like a legendary thing to do,
            only seeing logic to keeping order and if something or someone was causing unbalance it would eliminate it, and in this case humanity was the cause ergo purging it

  72. Gonna be honest, wasn’t expecting Incineroar to be the bulky starter of this gen. From a purely stat wise position, it beats out even Deci in Sp.D. Definitely going to be a fun part of an RU team with Intimidate/Assault Vest

    Reply
      • Considering Serperior is bulkier than Emboar, I wouldn’t say that it’s that straight forward

        Also, Primarina?

        Reply
          • Why tho? It’s an archer and they aren’t exactly fast, as well as the fact that special moves are mostly non contact (read: projectile) just as an arrow is. I mean it even has a such an emphasis on being a projectile fighter it has an ability that turns all of its moves not make contact

          • Only because of one reason
            It’s arrows are apparently physical and it quite literally gets two special moves, both outclassed by its physical moves. I know not all Pokémon is competitive, but it irks me just seeing it have a stat that high be absolutely useless.
            And people say specifically sets are a thing, but it has spirit shackle and leafblade so…
            Honestly, put the special Attack stat anywhere and I’m happy

          • In game sense and flavour >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> competitive battling in terms of design, if it wasn’t obvious enough

            And I mean… Def and HP don’t make sense, it doesn’t look defensive at all and archers don’t typically wear heavy armour (they’re usually behind other armoured units or an elevated area).

            Speed doesn’t make sense because Decidueye lost the Flying-Type that could relate to a owl’s diving speed, and for all we know it can’t even fly outside of its Z-Move because it can’t even learn the move Fly.

          • I just wish it had that stat swapped with something… that’s all…

            Then again… primal kyogre has a 150 physical attack stat

          • I have no idea anymore XD

            I just cant help but be annoyed that a little buff like that could make Deci so much better… but I guess I can’t complain… I mean… it has a fun role in the meta game and works well in its tier
            …besides Bisharp teams… those shut it down hard

  73. Someone please explain to me why Rowlet can’t learn fly

    Like this isn’t even bitching about the Pokemon its bitching about GameFreak’s weird ass design choices. Sure, Deci is based off of flightless and mostly terrestrial owls, but Primeape and Jolteon can use Iron Tail and it flies in its Z-Move

      • The city of London has more people than the whole of Scotland combined 😡

        That is a plus I guess, and the rolling countryside is gorgeous!

          • Yes… Not my local accent, or even vaguely Scottish. Depending on who you ask though it’s either American, gay or posh 😡

          • Lol. I guess I just have an American accent although my voice is rather strange sounding. Thank arceus I don’t have the annoying Cincinnati accent people around here tend to have though

          • It’s like stuck between being normal for a male and strangely high. So people always ask me if I’m gay, but I don’t really have a “gay” accent or whatever (no offense intended to people here)

          • Always bugs me when people get offended over stuff like that, there’s some truth in gay stereotypes and identifiers out there and this is coming from a gay guy

            I get the same responses sometimes and it makes me really self conscious because I hate the stereotypical gay voice 😡

          • I get how you feel. I really hate the way my voice sounds, but there’s really nothing you can do about it… 😛

  83. Nintendo/GF pushing to make Incineroar the mascot for gen 7. Basically means Ash’s Litten will fully evolve, get its own exclusive form or Z-move (not Incinedium Z) to hype the shut outta us and will proceed to receive a massive L in the Alola league. Heard it here first fellas
