  1. if Jade Jungle is coming back to life,I say we should reinstate its old evil team
    Team Eda with yours truly as commanding leader

    Reply
      • It’s just natural for me to be evil, besides in the original it was Team Eda and it was all environmental stuff and some kinda about opposing team, Team Flora who tries to fix the problems I create but but extremely

      • Here’s where I shill my Fakémon, Earthen style

        Rosibia (Rosso + Superbia + Bia)
        Fighting/Ground
        Battle Armour

        A feminine figure in armor made out of reddish-brown clay. Hard, spiky ‘hair’ out of gray rock. General color scheme is grey, brown, and mostly red. Looks similar, yet opposite, to Verdamuse. Rosibia can unravel its muddy body and shift its shape in order to force its way through many situations.

        Whist Verdamuse represents creativity, Rosibia represents force. Whilst Rosibia and Verdamuse work well together, they do not work very well when opposed or apart. Without force, art may never take form, but without direction, force may destroy rather than create.

          • Because it’s just an idea of what it can use, and I’m limited to Gen III and before moves

          • Maybe try adding some other status and support moves,
            It’s easy to pile attacks, it’s an art to make a balanced movepool

          • Its not meant to be balanced tho? It’s literally just an idea of what type of moves it uses, because Star’s form only asked for ideas, highlighting how she’d probably change it.

        • Context: I made Verdamuse on the bus home yesterday to serve as a mascot for Jade Jungle, because it’s a fan product and it represents art and creativity. I made Rosibia as its counterpart: hard instead of flowing, bleak instead of colourful, force over finesse. It represents the force needed to carry on with art, rather than just the concept like Verdamuse represents. They’re kinda like yin and yang, opposites but they need each other. Its represented in their types: Grass/Normal and Fighting/Ground.

          Fighting/Ground was also because I totally called Earthen being evil team leader and it fitted him tbh

          • 😀 😀 😀

            I was hoping you’d like it, I totally lightbulbed when I thought of it

            It’s actually part of a trio, if you’d like to hear more :v

            *shilling intensifies*

          • So basically

            Verdamuse – Grass/Normal Green – Creation stage of art

            Rosibia – Ground/Fighting – Red – ‘Doing’ stage of art

            ??? (Name undecided) – Flying/Ghost – Blue – Termination stage of art

            Basically, as it’s a fan game, they all represent making art. Their colours also reference the first three Pokémon games. Whilst the last one represents terminating concepts and processes, it’s not actually negative – it prevents harm coming from negative creation, or prevents ambition becoming too large. It does also take away good ideas, but it’s a necessary evil to take away the bad.

            Their types represent their relationship. Verdamuse and Rosibia need each other and thus have a mutual advantage over each other, whereas the third has a totally advantageous type as it balances them both.

          • I love themmmm

            but Verdamuse is probably still my favorite of the three. make sure to submit the other two so I have them in one place 😀

          • Can you link me again? Thats the reason I had Rosibia on hand, because I couldn’t find the link XD

            Also forgot to add GrassWhistle and Hyper Voice to Verdamuse, they make too much sense but I thought they were both Gen 4 not 3

      • I dunno apparently it was the name prior to me joining, they said it was like Greek for earth but I don’t think it was fact checked

        Reply
  2. @starstorm295:disqus Sooooooo… Should everybody make/submit their signature fakemon (that they will use in the game) ?

    Reply
      • Wouldn’t it be better to make it the same region with diffrent people? Like it’s happening in the future of Fire Red?

        Reply
        • I don’t really know. I’m mainly focused on getting the fakemon submitted and making my own fakemon/regional forms since i feel thats the most important aspect this early

          Reply
          • I’m trying to put thought into them at least. Like theres going to be an arctic area in the game with a snow bunny version of Lopunny there.

          • That’s what I’m saying I’m not saying just because they adapted to cold regions doesn’t give them ice powers

          • Thats what Im trying 😛

            Primarinas that are actually Sirens and survive off of leading sailors into the dark seas and eating them

            Incineroar that is an actual tiger and uses adaptations to survive in the jungle

            Decidueyes that burrow deep into Diglett Cave

            Roggenrolas that live in the volcano of Cinnabar Island

            etc

          • But why would Primarina eat people, they eat fish…..
            And wouldn’t Incineroar be tough and ferocious enough to survive a jungle on its own?
            And why would Decidueye need to burrow there’s plenty of grasslands and forests in Kanto

          • Yeah no, not gonna happen.
            I see gigantic flaws in their reasons to change because that’s what makes a regional form

          • Because most of the fish in the Kanto seas (Around Cinnabar) are Tentacools that are toxic to a fairy type like Primarina. So it ops for the sailors that are easily seduced into their watery graves

            Incineroar is too bulky and flashy making it difficult for it to sneak up on predators. It develops a sleaker body type on all 4s to sneak up on prey then can use poison to slow them down or even kill it before it can get to it.

            It provides more safety against the plenty of other bird pokemon in Kanto that will fight it for territory

          • I can definitely see those scenarios and based on my limited biology background, all of these make sense via evolution/speciation.

          • Believe me, I got into a similar fight like this about the Alolan forms. I’m surprised you’ve gone this long, because I gave up at this point trying to reason.

          • No worries, I see the passion based on your ideas 🙂
            I’m just sick of the argument that Alolan forms aren’t logical/scientific, when, based on my knowledge (which I will admit is limited because it’s not my field of study) they all fit into possible scenarios of evolution/speciation.

          • You guys are such a pain Y’know that..
            But it doesn’t matter, I’m too smart and actually see what regional forms are about and you two just want to dick around just to rustle my jimmies for laughs

          • Nope, I just don’t give a shit and try to think too hard about a game aimed around marketing to kids

            Alola Forms are cool and are easier to make than new Pokémon, and are generally well received. Boom, easy.

          • They’re well received because what it is actually doing
            Pokemon living in different environments and changing to survive

          • No, they’re well received because they’re new takes on old favourites and are genuinely well designed visually.

            The most popular one, Raichu, is also the one you throw bitch fits about the most.

          • They’re only designed well because they match how they adapted
            They would be just their regular forms without a different environment in order to change
            And Raichu is the absolute worst because they gave it a very bad backstory everyone knows it doesn’t make much sense at all at least the others tried

          • Remember children, Rhinos are made of rock, Mice can shoot electricity, and finally Pile of Sludge can move

          • I think that falls more into speciation, where either their diet/environment/science, just changed who it is.
            But even I admit it’s a faulty explanation, and I think it’s mostly for fanservice since it is related to Pikachu.
            I should have said all except A. Raichu though, so my bad, thanks for picking it up.

          • What about all the stuff in Seafoam islands, plenty of Krabby, Shellder, Magikarp and even Slowpokes and Psyduck perfect habitat if you ask me

            Why would a Incineroar worry about predators? It’s a predator! They probably would wait and pounce like a real tiger or just beat them savagely

            And the last one really doesn’t work, I just think Decidueye along with its evolution would just take refuge in any woodlands they can find

          • No it doesn’t, because she said Cinnabar and that is near the Seafoam islands and if Seel and Dewgong can live there Popplio can too and Incineroar are apex predators they hardly have to change

          • But they were always found in frigid waters every one of Seel and Dewgong’s entries state they love cold environments

          • No but that doesn’t mean Popplio can’t survive in the seafoam caverns or beaches nearby I mean it’s not a frozen cave just a sea cave

          • What Popplio is based on, which is the Hawaiian monk seal, was built to live in that area, which climate does not match other sea lions/seals environment of mostly colder waters.
            So no, it probably wouldn’t survive in colder waters, unless it adapted to (but another possible adaptation is what Star said because it probably tried to adapt to colder waters but realized that the Seel line was too dominant in the area and couldn’t compete)
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_monk_seal There’s your source on monk seals, as far as I saw, nothing about suriving in cold waters, but be my guest, check

          • Plus its first found in Hawaii where the climate its hot? so your basically agreeing with me Pokemon should adapt to their new climates, hence why Star’s Loupunny can be a ice type.

          • Plausible but turning into a man eater sounds wrong
            maybe just using a alluring song to enchant prey to come to it

          • Humans are nutritious asf for predators

            And obviously humans wouldn’t be its main prey, but it’d probably still get them when they can because they’re nutritional asf and it’s territorial

          • The Seafoam Island caves are much too cold for it. And how is it going to eat Krabby or Shellder with those doofy seel hands? Magikarp provides such little nutrients to a pokemon as big as Primarina. Plus humans are probably way more nutritious

            And maybe it doesn’t need to worry about predators that much but it also needs to eat. And that big bulky thing isnt going to hunt like that

            Its much easier to protect their eggs underground where there are literally no other birds than in a highly competitive area where every bird pokemon is fighting for its own space. You know how ferocious spearow are

          • Sea lions can survive in icy waters and they don’t need to eat with their hands they just swim up and chomp down whatever they catch

          • yeah just chomp down on that hard shell that will go well. Almost like those pokemon have those shells to defend against predators.

            Earthen here’s the thing. Nature adapts to give itself the best possible advantage. A species only focus is to survive and further the species. So if it has a choice between a highly competitive ecosystem what endangers its babies and an alternative ecosystem with very little compition that requires adaptation, you know what its going for. Besides, burrowing owl exist.

            If Primarina could use its voice to lure sailors down to eat, thats much more advantagous than spending energy hunting for Magikarp that give a limited about of nutrition back.

          • YESSS GIVE ALL THE LOVE TO LOPUNNY <3
            It's so nice to see a regional form based on snow bunnies, it's gonna look so cute and amazing <3

  3. All not fully evolved Pokemon found via Island Scan in S/M will get Alolan forms in their final evolutions.

    Some of the Island Scan Pokemon include:
    Totodile, Deino, Spheal, Swinub and Litwick

  4. Idk how you Zelda fans do it. I really do Envy you all because I know Zelda is a great Series, but My goodness I tried OOT again and I found a sword but I ouldnt find my shield. I looked for liek 20 minutes and I quit. Link games are too hard. Back to playing as Zelda in smash

    Reply
    • You buy a shield in the store, and I call bullcrap on you playing OOT, I know you too well and you’d never play a real Zelda game

      Reply
    • OOT is arguably one of the easiest Zelda games there is tbh. Its superb storytelling makes up for that, which a lot of people seem to forget.

      Reply
        • Ehhhh. Water Temple? Dark Link? Morpha? Bongo Bongo? Twin Rova?

          Wouldn’t say it is the easiest Zelda, but then again, how many times did you die in a Zelda game before BotW?

          Reply
          • That’s true for all Zelda games though :P. That’s why you hunt everything yourself as a veteran for 100% completion.

            I’d say TP is the easiest Zelda in terms of combat, only the Ganon fight is kinda hard and extensive. SS is probably easier on the puzzles (Master there’s a 90% I’m spoiling the solution for you), but fuck some of those bosses and especially fuck the silent realm. SS really needs a remake to iron the kinks out, then it would be a very good Zelda game.

    • Honestly there are some games you just have to play if you want to be a gamer, and Ocarina of Time is one of them. From now until the end of humanity it will be considered one of the *at most* top 5 best video games of all time. Everyone uses a walkthrough with Zelda at some point, especially with their first one. You just gotta do it.

      • Yea, but Im honestly not a game. I literally never home. I am out with friends and doing things all the time. When I am home all I play is Smash and Pokemon. Guess the gaming life isnt for me. Oh Well Im perfectly content with smash ad Pokemon. Im playing both right now

        Reply
        • I mean plenty of people manage both? I’m not always out of the house, but I’m also not a complete shut in, especially on school holidays when me and my friends go out whenever we want.

          Reply
          • Idk if you understand. Like the last week. I was home maybe 6 hours. I just stay at my friends house sometimes Playing a lot of games can kinda stress me out too. I like settling on the two. I appreciate the effort though. I bet Zelda is a glorious series. But No thanks I dont have too much more time on my plate for Like games.

          • At the risk of a sassy comment I really want you to understand something
            Zelda is just a series no gamer should ever ever live without
            It doesn’t have to be beaten in a day or a week or even a month
            It is something you experience, yes some of the dungeons are tough and make you want to pull your hair out but that’s ok because that’s their job and it feels good knowing you solved that puzzle
            I just hope one day you reconsider and try

          • He’s just feeding off it, Casc would NEVER play a Zelda game (I’ve tried multiple times), he only brings it up just to make the Smash Zelda comparison
            Just ignore him

          • Oooh Have the tables been turned. When you start ranting I tell people its pointless to argue back because you prefer being mad.
            And when people encourage me to play more games. You say its pointless because I rather not play more.
            Except I admit when I dont want to play. You stay wasting peoples time.

          • how were the tables turned? I’m just calling out your bullcrap since I know you’d never play a Zelda game or any other game in general

          • Riiight tiny mind Big Ego. My bad. Well I at least I tried it again. It was 6 years since the last time and I got the sword which was always kinda of a goal in the back of my mind because whats Link without his sword. Proud of myself even if I did so little

          • So are people just not allowed to try a game and say they don’t like it? If they didn’t like it, it’s their right to do it without being attacked lol

        • I literally spent the last week at an activities camp and if I’m in half the time I’m reading or helping mum with chores/childcare, I think I understand

  5. Here’s the legends I’m submitting for Star’s Jade Jungle-esque project. If they don’t fit as legends, they can be demoted, I just really like the concept.

    Verdamuse (Verde + Amuse + Muse)
    Grass/Normal
    Cacophony

    A feminine figure in a long, leafy dress. It has soft, flowing hair of vines with colourful berries in its hair. General colour scheme is gold, grass, white. Looks similar, yet opposite, to Rosibia. Verdamuse is mentally very flexible, and using its inner power can copy nearly every Pokémon game flawlessly after mastering it.

    It represents creativity, and eating one of its berries can help discover ideas from within oneself and their environment.

    Rosibia (Rosso + Superbia + Bia)
    Fighting/Ground
    Battle Armour

    A feminine figure in armor made out of reddish-brown clay. Hard, spiky ‘hair’ out of gray rock. General color scheme is grey, brown, and mostly red. Looks similar, yet opposite, to Verdamuse. Rosibia can unravel its muddy body and shift its shape in order to force its way through many situations.

    Rosibia represents force. Contact with its radiating stones can cause great determination to arise within a person. Whilst Rosibia and Verdamuse work well together, they do not work very well when opposed or apart. Without force, art may never take form, but without direction, force may destroy rather than create.

    Azulai (Azul + Moirai + Die)
    Flying/Ghost
    Cloud Nine

    A feminine figure, resembling a woman in a cloudy cloak. Appearing sad, Azulai appears to end ideals that were fated to fail. However, Azulai is more like a guardian than a destroyer. Azulai serves to nullify, using its cloudy body to remove what it sees as unfit.

  7. Theory: A raichu got hit by a Snorlax’s Z-Move (pulverizing pancake) leading to it getting hit in the head so hard it unlocked psychic abilities and since mice reproduce like crazy alolan raichus soon became everywhere in Alola

  8. BotW is coming together now. I’ve been steadily upgrading and collecting gear, shrine hunting and tackling the sidequests. Feel like the game becomes a lot easier now though. Haven’t died in the past 20 hours and the normal enemies aren’t that hard anymore once you have the right gear.

    Still lots of stuff do to though, but the major part of the game is done for. Can’t wait for the DLC to introduce some new things.

    Reply
  9. Well its tiiiime I officially decided. But I want to your guys. It probably will take a while because you all may be indecisive like me but whatever.
    Order all 18 pokemon types from worst (least fave) to best (fave) in your opinion! or you can do best to worst. Doesnt matter just state which way

    Reply
  10. Friendly advice: if you plan on using a Poison mono, use:

    A Poison type with Levitate or Flying type
    A Water or Grass Poison type
    Something fast and strong with Water, Grass, or Ice moves

    Otherwise you’ll want to die

    Thanks for your attention 🙂
