New Nintendo Direct Announced

by

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?!

    • 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

    • 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

  12. Tbh I realise we have a holy trio

    Earthen hates Primarina

    Seraph hates Incineroar because he has no taste jk bruv I get why you don’t like it I just didn’t get as disappointed because I used to not care about Litten

    I don’t hate Decidueye but I feel that it and its signature moves are some of the poorly typed things in Pokemon after Dedenne even worse imo

      • Don’t know why, it’s probably the most simple mega in terms of progression and it looks a lot like Blaziken

  20. 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)

  21. 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 :).

        • 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.

        • 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.

          • 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.

  24. 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 :/
