    Human
    Dwarf
    High Elf
    Halfling
    Orc
    Dark Elf
    Goblin
    Ogre

  5. You drink the potion of plot convenience and become a were-something

    What animal would it be? You transform partially at will, fully into a stronger, smarter version of the animal at full moons and take on some of their more innocent qualities in human form

  6. Do you guys have a guilty pleasure movie you love, but that isn’t necessarily thought of as being a good movie?

    I love watching the Hugh Jackman Van Helsing movie at halloween time

    • i mean………i hate to be THAT guy but technically its their intellectual property which they’re using without permission

      • That’s absolutely true, but as far as I know those people weren’t trying to make money or anything. They need to refocus their efforts, big time. Fans that make project out of love for Nintendo’s games get targeted while I’ve been getting the same YouTube ad for a mobile game that literally just takes BotW footage and markets it as their own game. Not to mention the countless Pokemon rip offs that actually try to make money off of the series. While fans get targeted, there are people actually directly copying Nintendo’s stuff and making money off of it.

  8. Sorry I’ve been too busy lately to keep up with things as much as I’d like to. Have there been any Pokemon rumors lately? Anything of that banana thing?

      • A) It’s technically unfinished, I want to add more Pokemon.
        B) I wouldn’t know what name to sign it with.
        C) Nobody in their right mind would want to steal it.
        D) I have the original paper copy.
        E) The original photo is higher resolution.
        F) Anyone capable of removing the watermark can probably draw better anyway.

  9. Does anyone else realize Dunsparce… Is the biggest cluster f*ck of all Pokemon! Due to

    -Has drill and tunnels like a Ground or Rock type
    -Has small wings like a flying type
    -Has Bee origins in it like a bug type
    -The Land Snake Pokemon like a Ground type
    -Has Dragon Rush like a dragon type
    -Learns Air Slash like a flying type

    Yet no its based on a Tsuchinoko (Good idea) its a super rare creature, yet its… Normal type…. GOOD F*CKING GOD!!!!!!!!

    • It’s utterly useless like a lot of gen 2 pokemon were/still are. Hence why I strongly believe it’s the weakest generation, which is saying something because I do not like a majority of gen 6 pokemon

      Reply
      • Ehh I mean it could have gotten an evo for ground

        And GF logic Fire Dancer with Skull protects from using recoil, yet the Fossil based on the hardest headed creature of all dinosaurs and I think all animals its harder doesn’t get recoil immunity even though it needs it more!!!!!!!

  10. alright going to bed, i kinda hope the new episodes get totally leaked and we can finally see if Topaz and Aquamarine make good characters or not

  11. I want to get into Steven Universe, but every time I try and watch when it’s not just on TV I can’t seem to get through it. Part of me wants to just watch all the heavy plot relevant episodes, but another part of me says that many times it’s the down episodes that give the characters life. Having both serious and non serious times makes the worlds of series feels more tangible. Problem is that I inevitably end up running into a number of episodes I’ve already seen in passing and have no interest in watching again…….Maybe I’m just being too picky lol

    Reply
      • Well I’m not really on any season particularly really. I’ve probably seen way more of the show than I think I have from watching it while on TV. A little while back Cartoon Network had a bunch of marathons of the show and I honestly don’t think that did me any justice as now I don’t know where I should best jump into the series. I’m not one to get angry at some spoilers here or there so I do know some stuff that happens later on in the series. I’m just not sure where to begin anymore without losing interest after all of a sudden hitting a bunch of eps that I’ve already seen lol

        • I’ve been told these are the essential eps from season 1 if that interests you at all.

          • I’ll have to try and sift through the eps and see what I’ve seen already and what I haven’t. I really do like the show and it’s characters, but I’m so all over the place with it that I may need to just need to bunker down and force my way through until I hit the most current episodes lol

            Also thanks for the list. It may help me in my quest to actually get a handle on SU hahaha

          • No prob! Although some of the fillery episodes are fun, there are kinda a lot of them esp in s1 and 4

    • I feel you on that. I was just going to watch the plot-relevant noes, but I committed myself to watching every episode. The only way I got to where I was now was just by binge watching the show post-surgery (while high on oxy) about 2 years ago. The downside is I don’t remember a ton of details.

  12. You guys have no idea how happy I am that Superstar Saga DX is on the way. This game is an absolutely overlooked classic and there was no way that it would go unrecognized forever. It almost makes me want to get a 2DS XL and play a bunch of other DS/3DS games. I can’t even manage to get Switch gameplay into my daily routine, but I will find a way. But there is another game which deserves its own fair treatment…

    • It’s funny how similar Drill Dozer’s music is to Pokemon music in general. It really shows that GF have a very particular style when it comes to making games (music in this case) lol

      Reply
    • No point in buying the 2DS XL though for this game. You already have a 3DS; I mean, you are on a Pokemon site. xD

      Though idk how I feel. I haven’t played the original but if I wanted to I could go do so for 7 bucks. I could be and hope I’m wrong, but part of me thinks they’ll try to sell it for a full 40.

      Before you say “they’re charging 40 for FE echoes and ORAS”, those games aren’t available on the eshop. That’s literally my only reasoningz
