ARMS is Out for the Nintendo Switch

It seems many Nintendo fans are enjoying the company’s new fun and frantic fighting game ARMS for the Switch which has been released to most of the world. 

If you’ve got it, or want it, who will you be maining (or choosing as your main character). With a range of silly characters, from a globby DNA-based character to undead mummy, there’s probably one that has caught your attention. 

Personally I’m a Kid Cobra stan and luckily my roommate purchased the game so I’ll practice and then hopefully see a few of you online 😉

  2. So does the sentiment for Nuzlockes come before or after a few? Because rn I’m just kinda annoyed when something dies and then I move on

  3. i swear i get the most stupid people for teammates every time i go in ranked,
    they never stick to guarding the damn splat zones splintering off to god knows where
    seeing myself as the only one alive and often with the most kills

  4. Ngl the only think I hate more in Pokémon than grinding is accidently making the game super easy by over grinding D:

  5. Does anyone have like an attachment to any weird Pokémon? I have one to this Hydreigon I had in XY who I grinded so much for my living Dex that I actually used her as a fly mon + to grind my other team mates, so she’s one of the few Mons in my live Dex who wasn’t just complete box bait

  6. So who here has a live Dex? When you decided to do it? I finished mine (minus Meloetta) by the end of Gen 6, and now it’s sitting finished after I get my hands on Marshadow and maybe those cap Pikachu if they get released

    • My bank is full of every breedable pokemon in every kind of apricorn, safari and sport ball (Dreams are mostly in X), so I don’t have room for one. It would be useful for ‘dex completion but I kind of like building that into my adventure.

      • Ngl a living Dex takes a lot of fun out of the whole ‘catch me all’ thing, so in SM I was determined to complete the Dex without using it

        • It must’ve helped that bank wasn’t immediately available. I used Bank a bit to get my shiny charm before finishing the game so I could have most of my team shiny like I wanted faster.

          • Yeah, curbed that temptation

            Ngl tho the shiny charm hasn’t felt worth it, only time I’ve got a shiny since is a Bulbasaur for my friend in the second egg

          • I do the Magikarp switch method and I think it helped a bit there. I have gotten 2 shiny wild Tauros and a Mudbray since I got it, all terrible of course.

    • I think once Super is dubbed it might go up in demand. I would love to play it as long as the quality doesn’t go down much on Switch. Otherwise I’ll just wait until I win the lottery so I can buy a PS4.

      • According to this interview, power really isn’t the issue. Sucks, though I LOVE Xenoverse 2 being on it, seeing a new Dragon Ball fighter game being dropped for the Nintendo Switch seems like a slap to Nintendo’s face, especially with the effort they gave to the publisher, Namco Bandai (just like what Capcom did with Monster Hunter Worlds….still getting though).

        • Maybe it will come out, just on a delayed release. I see no reason for them not to unless they think they won’t make the money back from producing it. I guess it needs a petition or something. Also it will help when there are enough Switches for the current demand.

          • True, I got lucky with a starter bundle on Target’s website, the bundle sold out in a few hours after I ordered. And I do expect sales to go high when Gen 8 is released on it, like how the 3DS sales sky rocketed when Pokemon X and Y, and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS came on it.

  7. Also, if you are looking for a nice companion console for that Nintendo Switch, the Xbox ONE S bundled with Minecraft is now 200 bucks! (Funny, I can actually afford an Xbox ONE, but I really see no need as I got a PS4). LINK:

  8. Ugh…….I hate sleeping in the middle of the day for any extended amount of time. I always wake up groggy and feeling off. It’s almost like I feel a tiny bit hungover even when I haven’t drunken anything. It doesn’t last very long as I wake myself up, but the feeling is so off putting for me in the middle of the day…….

  9. The seraphlocke is a typical Nuzlocke but with three large changes.
    1. Only one use of a Pokémon Center per town
    2. There is level caps for certain events. You may have an Ace Pokémon of your choice who is two levels above the cap. Your starter is the first one of these
    3. After receiving your starter and after each trial or Kahuna, an event will occur… one of ten different options will be chosen by RNG
    Optional rule: RNG decides your starter

    Good
    Healing Wish: The ability to reuse a Pokémon center has opened up!

    Parental Bond- Get another Pokémon from an already visited route.

    Trick- Reroll an encounter

    Soothe Bell- Pokémon refresh can be used on one Pokémon.

    Neutral:

    Metronome- A Pokémon besides your highest or lowest level on the team gets wondertraded

    Celebration- Congrats! You did it! You’re awarded with the unchanging monotony of life. You get nothing, fuck you.

    Bad

    Synchronoise-the entire type must be a type around your ace

    Covet-you must use all your money on the next shop

    Mirror Move- duplicate/species clause no longer applies for the island

    Intimidate- the level cap is lowered by two

    …I’m about to get corkscrew crashed
