hmmm maybe ill pull a black 2 and like use older generations mons this time around
I FREAKING DID IT I GOT ALL THE INITIAL MOONS IN MARIO ODYSSEY
Now Erase ur save file
Congrats fam! I still have a while to go. I’ve only completed the Cap Kingdom, Cascade Kingdom and the Ruined Kingdom
I’m working on the Sand Kingdom now
If you gave a Pokémon that already had a mega evolution a second form (don’t do charizard or mewtwo) what pokemon would it be and what would it be like?
Charizardtwo from the first movie
Nah, Gyarados. Give the fans the Water/Dragon they always wanted.
probably some of the less used ones like audino and sableye but thats just me
Sadly my game is not over yet, I need to buy the last 37 moons and I need to buy the skeleton costume for max 9999 so I need to grind coins for the next hour
What do you mean sadly? I’m going to be super sad when I finally finish getting all the moons
I meant I have to grind like 12.9k of coins and do one last thing then I’ll be finished…it will be with heavy yet a pride filled headt
Heart
Btw any tips for collecting moons? Particularly on the sand kingdom
Don’t be afraid to buy the hints from toad and use uncle amiibo at every opportunity, same with the smart mouthed bird
You can get hints from amiibos? Huh, good to know! I never tried using amiibos
I’ll just say, you should never neglect the edges of the map. I did my first time around and was surprised later on.
I was just curious. I played a little of odyssey that my brother let me play. I knew every moon location in the first kingdom because i watched him play a lot of the game. My question is, do you see like shame in using hints or the talkatoo? I was wondering how you felt about it. I personally dont see anything wrong with it.
You didn’t ask me but I never used it during the main game. I wait until I’m collecting all of them and I only have a few left
lol the post was for you and xatu too, since you were both in the thread. So, to clarify, you got as many moons as it took to progress through the story and decided to start collecting after?
Pretty much. For each world I did the main story missions which usually ended with multimoons then maybe collected a few at random if I wanted to. I took my time with it. Now that I beat it I’m getting all of them
the way my brother has been doing it and also myself, is to get all possible moons you can get at the time before moving on. I would say its just that feeling of going on when you know theres more to do which is so new to me lol
I’m trying to come up with new names for my starters (1st stages)
Grass is a green Bear Cub that wears leafs on its face. Trying to incorporate the word Leaf into it. Previous name: Bearine (Bear+Vine) Current name ideas: Leaffur (Leaf+Fur)
Fire is a small orange snake with a black pattern on its back. Trying to incorporate the word Snakelet (baby/small snake) into it. Previous name: Snakoal (Snake+Coal) current name ideas: Sparklet (Spark+Snakelet), Burnlet (Burn+Snakelet), Snakehot (Snakelet+Hot), Snakeheat (Snakelet+Heat)
Water is an European Water Vole, but Blue with thicker whiskers and holding a clay cup almost its size. Previous name:Waterole (Water+Vole) Current name ideas: Vall/Smole (Small+Vole), Holter (Hold+Water)
Help from you would be very nice! I know some of you are good with fakemon names
Oakuma (Oak +Kuma)
Hissling (Hiss + Hatchling)
I’m in a naming rutt myself
I like Hissling
Yeah it was the name for my old fire snake starter but that was scrapped because one of my mascots is a fire snake
Hissling sounds cool and what does Kuma mean?
Japanese for teddy bear I think? Not totally sure, I know it’s related to bears
Isn’t it just a street Fighter character that’s a Bear?
Wut
It’s been used outside of SF
Why is Shaymin sky form so weird mechanically?
Like… you can’t use it at night, it transforms back to land form at night and if it gets frozen
No other form change is like that
It acts like. Flower
Freezing is like Winter when most flowers close
Night time, there are a few flowers I think that close their petals and Shaymin land form acts similar to flower bud waiting to bloom
So it really is the most unique Form change as it actually takes traits of real flowers
Friends…Family….Losers I don’t give an eff about, my journey through this great new world has come to a closing end.
The things I saw, the things I did, the people I’ve met and the challenges I overcame all of them were an complete adventure and I couldn’t be happier
It’s with proud tear filled eyes (100% truth) I have gotten all 999 moons in Super Mario Odyssey
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3dd10d8a3463a13649498a58a53f06ff2858dbcf8f00f6a0be5aa3ee94c93a6d.jpg
Would I do it all again? Maybe… Would I do it 110%? Maybe not… All I know is that this great great…great great adventure was nothing less than a true epic odyssey
And it only took you 10 days. Bravo Earthen. Bravo!
Congrats man, you did something I could never do
Congrats!
I really liked what Kurusu did for his Fakémon stuff earlier so I’ll be annoying and copy that idea :p

Mine I made like half a year ago and it’s lost somewhere
I’m legit thinking what starter of yours I’d choose lol it’s too hard
What are they again? A Fire Horse, Water Manta Ray and a Grass ???
Tasmanian tiger iirc
Yep
Tasmanian tiger Grass
Fire horse centaur/headless horseman combo
Water Manta Ray with a super hero theme
So a headless centaur?
Yep
https://i.imgur.com/mQWZIwq_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium
Not at all sonny
What are the straters? Lol
XD Why so? ;3
Are they that good? ;3
Thank you! It wasn’t that bad I mean it gets the point down and is interesting. All in all I like it
Nice idea. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1509986562992.jpg
So, Honestly I get a split response half and half, so I wonder what’s your guys answer
Was SM easy (or on the easier side) or was SM hard (or on the harder side) to you?
Do tell why it was easy/hard. Was your team disadvantageous? Did you pick Litten (supposedly Litten made the game super easy)? Were you overleveled/underleveled?
Personally I think SM were on the harder side. I lost some battles, more than once, and I loved it. I chose Rowlet (which I felt made things harder) and my team constantly had glaring weaknesses (like in the beginning of the game I was supr weak to flying). I lost to a lot of totems. Also the speed of Alola mons made it even harder, because I couldnt outpace anyone. The games were hard, and it was a huge improvement from ORAS.
I found it quite hard compared to the other modern Pokémon games, but regular trainers are still a joke (as is Olivia lol)
I’ve had trouble with different totems depending on my team but I feel Vika and Kommo are the weakest link. E4 and champion were a return to form
Totem Vika and Kommo were jokes, but the E4 was not. I lost to Acerola once and Kahili like 3 times, and Kukui like once, they were hard. It was a nice challenge. Even on par with their levels I still struggled
I found Olivia very easy for an E4, but the rest were decently challenging or even honestly hard
And Kukui… Best final battle in ages.
and one of the best champion battle themes too 😛
I actually disagree there, I didnt like his champ theme like everyone else. It just seemed very emotionless. Like I don’t the impress of “This is a hard fight” like Lance, or “This is serious, but also fun,” Like Iris. and it didnt sound great like Diantha’s
Grannted I guess since our character is the champ, and they are emotionless maybe thats it.
that what makes it good! you hit the point right there.
I agree, I think Olivia was easy, but that’s nature of rock types lol.
Kukui battle was AMAZING, I wish his team was a little bit better, but it was still pretty good!
I think some of them could’ve had better coverage but I liked the actual mons tbh
Yes!Pokemon lately has been doing this thing were they give trainers pokemon that dont have 4 moves.
Hala had 3 mons wth 2 moves/ 1 mon with 3 moves/ 1 mon with 4
Olivia had 3 mons with 3 moves/ 2 with 4
I am not quite sure why they started doing this, but it’s so weird. Maybe thats why Olivia and Acerola were hard because all their mons had all 4 moves
It was was in between for me. Litten was my starter obviously, but I still kinda struggled Fighting for example Hapu.
It was mid for me it was sort of easy at points, but the end was tough and I kept changing my team so also contributed
Definitely on the harder side, while early stuff was quite easy, the mid-end part was pretty difficult, in fact it even made me use the Exp Share sometimes and had a lot of challenging battles (like the E4 fe)
Wat u want from Move Tutor in USUM …..I will talk about mine:
Decidueye- Shadow Sneak, Leaf Storm
Incineroar- Sucker Punch, Knock Off, Blaze Kick
Primarina- Boomburst but this would be f*** op so I hope not
Crabominable- Ice Shard, Drain Punch, Mach Punch
Dhelmise- Leaf Blade
Kommo-o- Close Combat, Super Power
Mimikyu Fairy Wind
Kids r not allowed here
wut
It could work.
There aren’t many fairy moves, and Mimikyu can’t learn one for a long time.
Y special move ????
Better a special fairy move than No fairy move early
Shady has a point, giving it a special move is basically worthless
Wouldn’t mind it getting a different fairy move though
Which one -w-
Two to be specific
One rhymes with shmestiny Scond
And the other being Iron Tail
Neither of those are fairy moves tho
Oh
whoops I misread that
I kinda want it to get baby doll eyes because I feel like it kinda fits
Crafty shield would be interesting too
But those don’t provide actual coverage in an offense sense
Mimikyu isn’t just an offensive Pokemon
it should get more moves to take advantage of its gimmicky ability
Butter was on about in game coverage, there is no other suitable fairy move and only one physical fairy move overall
Oh welp
Wait isn’t covet fairy?
Normal
…. the more you know
There’s only one physical fairy move lol
Also add Leech seed for Deci
Prima too so we have leech life starter squad
He said leech seed
I read it wrong. dont judge me
Primarina should get a new move called leech song
ohhh Leech squad then
Indeed
U know he’s dead so he can’t
he can do whatever his wittle owl heart desires
Phantump is a dead child and it gets leech seed
Your point?
It’s not a point it’s a joke
;3
Tapu Bulu: Play Rough.
Nuff said.
the best Tapu
Wat he can’t learn this move really?
Oricorio – Heat Wave
Incineroar – Fire Punch/Thunder Punch/Knock Off
Togedemaru – Iron Head
My three most hyped
I’m incredibly hyped for the last one. It’s about time Toge gets somethin
Yeah it needs a steel move that isn’t Gyro Ball (as Gyro Ball is worthless for it)
Agreed
U know wrestlers can’t punch (real punchs r not allowed in WWE) so the can use kick ……..I hope for drain punch though it would be helpful
Emboar is a wrestler and gets fire punch
Incineroar Dex entry: After hurling ferocious punches and flinging furious kicks, it finishes opponents off by spewing fire from around its navel.
Incineroar is a heel wrestler, heels are meant to break rules
Incineroar not getting those punches is dumb
isnt machamp a wrestler? it learns dynamic punch
I can’t put L O L at the end of my sentence
why?
That’s not me
The problem is that heat wave would only benefit one form, so the other forms would be outclassed :/
It’d benefit the three non Baile forms more because it gives them much needed coverage
Deci- Shadow Sneak, Leech Seed, Jump Kick (it’s described as being good with its legs, its a stretch but if you’ve seen it in Pokken…) Leaf Tornado (this last one is for thematic purposes)
Araquanid- Aqua Jet, Sticky Webs
Kommo-O- Literally anything
Bewear- Drain Punch
Tapu Bulu- Play Rough
Ampharos- Tail Glow
Togedemaru- Iron Head
Mudsdale- Shore up
But shore up is sand
it needs something, Beeheyem gets steel wing
Because it’s TM51
That’s for a different reason though TM51, think about it
Son of a…
‘TM51’ lol these attentions to details is what makes me enjoy Beheeyem so much :p
Hmmmm
Well so does Silvally
I keep telling you it’s a glitch with the TMs because Steel Wing used to be Ally Switch and they must’ve not taken it out of its code
I still think it’s a reference seeing as this error has been noted and has been around for two gens now
Also, Area 51? It’s a bit coincidental this would happen with this specific Pokémon with that specific TM
Jump kick kinda brilliant idea ….Tail Glow Ampharos make sense but fuckin op
I vote Shore up Mudsdale…..I love this pkmn
😀
I want
Togedemaru- Iron Tail, Iron head
Turtonator- Gyro Ball, Rapid Spin
Shiinotic- Tail glow (If Xuriktree and Manaphy can get it without tails, it should too)
No you fool not superpower on Kommo-o AURA SPHERE AUUUUURRRRAAAAA SPHEEEEERRRE
we need more non legend special fighting types that aren’t mixed
But it’s got Focus Blast, that’s enough, riiiiiiight? 😕
Focus Blast is actually shitt
Yeah Aura Sphere shouldn’t be random ……….it only make sense with meditative characters and Kommo-o not one of them
AGREED
Relax piece of dust…I am here see everybody opinions
Don’t call me dust bone-boy
Don’t call me boy I am older than u dust
Bewear Drain Punch big heap yes
I’ve experimented with bulk up defensive Bewear and it is scary
Impish max def max hp last bit attack
Facade
Drain Punch
Shadow Claw
Bulk Up
One bulk up and anything that isn’t a fighting type or a special sweeper will be useless
Or a special attacker in general
don’t let shortcomings complicate things
set up and you’re good against physical attacks
Which encompass about 2% of the Pokemon from the types you’re weak to other than fighting
I love the box legends battle theme in S/M but the tapus theme is way better.
So what are some annoying things you hate to hear pokemon fans say regarding pokemon and why? For me:
“Unova is underrated.” Literally anyone who says Unova in a positive light, someone says this. Like how many people can something is underrated until it is actually ‘average rated.’ The only people who say Unova is super bad are people who probably dont play anymore, honestly. I think I’ve only met a handful of people who still play Pokemon actually dislike Unova. Most people like Unova! It’s not underrated!
“Why have Battle Frontier? Battle Tower is fine.” Why have a get one of those big assorted boxes with different chips? One chip is fine. Even if YOU dont want it other people want it! Nobody is forcing you to play the whole frontier. Frontier includes Tower. I dont see the problem honestly.
” EXP. Share is broken, and makes it too easy for kids.” Why does it matter what’s too easy for kids? Play the game your way and they play it their way! I personally love new EXP share makes grinding sooo much easier.
” ORAS didnt have BF because it wasnt in RS” Such a STUPID arguement. Battle Maison wasnt in RS, Delta story wasnt in RS, Megas werent in RS, Battle Resort wasnt in RS, The list goes on.
So what about you guys?
Have to agree with unova being underrated, underrated my ass
Besides that my biggest peeve is
‘designs have been getting worse’
Hell no it’s subjective
Your butt is pretty underrated 😉I hate that argument too, If someone is finding themselves to be saying that more and more, that probably means your falling out of pokemon rather than the designs being bad. Time for you to find a new hobby.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f291a51c8681afe2252f2f99a58d135dfdd74932e40f4112092971715bcaf86.gif
Yeah it is subjective I think designs are getting more intricate
“Shinies should go back to 1/8000 and also get rid of the shiny charm” I mean they changed it for a reason, 1/4000 is still pretty uncommon. and the shiny charm is a reward for completing one of the games main goals. and you can still complete that goal and still go full odds.
Also “Full odds is the only way to hunt” Im tired of seeing this, if people wanna use the shiny charm to have a better chance at getting a shiny let it be, a shiny is a shiny no matter what unless u hack it then its not ok but its your games do what u want 😡
^^
I totally agree with this. It’s stupid when people say that. I want to hunt something and it take years to do like 1/8000. TBH 1/4000 is super reasonable. and when people downplay others for finding 1/4000 deserve no respect.
I remember i got downplayed for finding shinies using chain fishing lol
My biggest peeve
“Well [insert name] should be thus type instead cause this type makes no sense”
Every type makes sense to certain degree’s and so what another type makes more Sense, let GF make interesting reasons for types. Just gah!
I mean, the typing that pisses me off the most, Lugia, has a reason to be Psychic, but you can’t say Water wouldn’t make sooooo much more sense and there’s no reason for Lugia not to be Water.
The reason is gamefreak thought psychic was a better choice
Then they should explain why they thought that, or make the mon (and games, movies, cards) reflect the typing.
Well it’s just a more interesting lore as Ho-Oh depicts it being related to the sun
Lugia contrasts as it manipulates waves to make storms (just like the moon makes tides) and it is truth if it has affiliations to the moon its either Psychic or Fairy and fairy doesn’t fit so…
Then Water/Psychic, also Moon is totally related to water. As I said-Psychic totally makes sense, but Water makes muuuch more sense.
“Competitive requires no skill” (To be fair there is a lot of luck but it does require it to an extent)
“We should go back to having characters like Silver/Blue again”
Blue especially bothers me because people are so caught up in having a nice rival that they literally ignore any sort of development a nice one would have because they’re nice. Imo Gladion was the perfect balance, just don’t ignore the development rivals have
The nice rival thing is soooo agreeable!
I like nice rival personally it provides just amount of competition. I love it! I want friends not enemys. Gladion was amazing because most jerk rivals do nothing story wise. Gladion was actually apart of the story. He’s awesome
EXACTLY
People always bring up Blue and Silver and it pisses me off
Silver literally was pointless until HGSS and Blue LITERALLY RAN INTO THE EVIL BASE DURING A HOSTAGE SITUATION AND WAITED THERE SO HE CAN BATTLE YOU! LIKE ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT THIS
WHAT IS LIKABLE ABOUT HIM OTHER THAN NOSTALGIA!? HE’S LIKE TOP 5 LEAST LIKABLE CHARACTERS IN THE FRIGGIN FRANCHISE
Surprisingly, blue is still in the polls, so he hasnt been eliminated yet, but I so agree. Blue did nothing plot wise. Honestly I more or less trained to get better than to ‘beat blue.’ blue was another obstacle like any other character
I’ve been attempting to get him out since Sophocles was voted
I mean, Blue is much better in this game, he was also much better in GSC
Omg the rival thing is so true, these people only want these kind of annoying, bland characters just because “it gives them more purpose to keep going” or “they feel more like rivals” even tho you already have an evil team who is always a jerk to your character and the fact that you don’t need to be a jerk just to be a decent rival.
^^
“Pokemon has gown downhill since x gen”
“Gamefreak doesn’t put in effort anymore”
Pokemon has always produced more or less the same quality of games. And gf isn’t getting lazy your just noticing it now. They were always lazy
Thiiiiiiiis
Arma always coming in with Facts
I disagree. The amount of content in the gen 4 games and and B2W2 is more than all of gen 6 and sun and moo combined.
USUM seems to hve quite a bit which is nice.
Even if they had always been lazy (they haven’t) it’s not ok anymore after 21 years
Nah, the third versions have content. And XY didn’t get one, USUM is a third version and like you said it’s looking to be good.
Like sumo is on the same level of content, or in some cases has more content than rs and dp
But yeah i agree , it’s not ok anymore.
HGSS was a remke and that still had the battle frontier at the very least.
What’s ORAS’s excuse?
HGSS reused assets from Platinum
I imagine they were too lazy to remake it in 6th gen
So did Oras
Eh?
ORAS used X and Y assets
Many things, the one that pops into my mind is ”Inanimate Object pokemon are dumb, Game Freak is running out of ideas”
Wait.. you actually make sense.
Almost every time you and I are here you insult me in a passive agressive way
I apologise. I meant it in a light-hearted way
K, man I’m not mad or anythin
ITS JUST KEYS

To be fair Vanillite is somewhat cute
I know. i was acting like a stubborn fan
:3
Not somewhat, very cute

ohmygodiwantitandkindawishitwaspartghost
I wish it wasn’t ruined when it evolved
What’s wrong with Vanniluxe?
The face
It’s just not as cute and the faces look sometimes kinda weird, I still like it but sometimes I prefer Vanillite because of that
Vannilite is cuter but I dunno I really like Luxe and their Derpy face
“Pokémon doesn’t need to change”
These are the same fans that rip on call of duty for being the same thing every time.
Unlike basically every other Nintendo property, the games have hardly changed at all. Zelda, while always being about adventure and exploring, is played very differently between Legend of Zelda to Link to the Past to Ocarina of Time to Breath of the Wild.
Meanwhile Pokémon Red and Pokémon Sun play basically the same just with small mechanical changes.
Yaaaas
“if it ain’t broke Don’t fix it”
This mentality is so dumb like if everyone thought this you’d still be playing an NES
Because it’s harder to replace things like Pokémon than it is Zelda
Pokemon could change, but it doesn’t have to change too much
Hahahahahabullshit
Pokémon isn’t actually that different from Zelda at its core. I mean you’re exploring a world aren’t you? Why are the games so linear then?
Accentuate the exploration because finding Pokémon plays perfectly into that. New Pokémon are a natural reward for exploring but because of the linear nature of Pokémon, it is encouraged to just choose 6 Pokémon and stop catching them.
I mean, I wouldn’t say a 6 mon team is bad, Maybe Pokemon Switch could make rotation teams more of an easy option
6 Pokémon teams are fine in the current games but in an open world Pokémon it would be boring.
PC systems need to be accessible at anytime
Using a variety needs to be encouraged
Levels need to be deemphasised
They could add something that would let you access your boxes at any time. Maybe you get more boxes avaible as you get more badges.
Uh no tell me how does a linear structure stop or encourage people from using 6 Pokemon and not anything found in subsequen areas???
That makes ZERO sense star.
Ffs even Kirby, one of the simplest platformers out there dared to spice things up way more than Pkm ( in games like epic yarn, 64, mass attack etc) some weren’t nearly as popular as the more normal ones but atleast they tried
It doesn’t need to change.
Rather it should change.
Saying it needs to change is impyling that without change it wouldn’t exist or succeed. Which is BS.
However it should change is more accurate and realistic as many would agree that after 20 years of the same, GF should try taking some risks.
“Pokemon Switch isnt gonna be a main line game” Idk why this is still argument between people even its been said by the DEVS that it will a Core RPG pokemon game for the switch and that USUM is the last game on the 3ds family of systems.
“Pokemon Switch wont be open world because Pokemon is Linear af” Yes but was Zelda also very linear too? Now it had a open world game you can go anywhere you want even fight the final boss at the start. If gamefreak took the time to develop a open world Pokemon game where you can explore to you heart contents, and do the gyms or whatever they have in any order and then fight the E4 and Champion that be great, and also have a main story too with the legends? it could work
Well with Zelda it got more linear over time culminating in Skyward Sword. BotW was a return to form.
Pokémon has always been a simple linear game. There is nothing to go back to
True. but i think a Open world game could work it gamefreak played its cards right
Oh no it totally would work. Pixelmon was fun and that was basically an open world Pokémon.
If it was made into an actual game that wasn’t minecraft it would be incredible
“I don’t want Pokémon to move to the Switch”
I get monetary concerns, but it is nothing but good news for the franchise. It will allow it to hopefully grow and evolve in new ways
I hate it whenever someone disses (couldn’t think of a better word) Incineroar. Granted, it’s not the best Pokemon, but I still think it’s really cool. Really the only exception is when they’re talking about the fire belt, because as much as I like it, it’s a bit ridiculous. Another thing I find annoying is just Stars talk in general. I’m so sick of hearing about Stars (It’s stopped, from what I can tell now though, at least here it has) and everyone acting like it was coming. It was never confirmed. I’ll add more when I can think of more.
Wait
Who are you
Like I know it’s not Seraph
Alex
O, that makes sense
Okay, it’s a children game, it’d be bad if they confirmed the Fire was his jizz.
Not what I meant.
…what did you mean?…
Ok to evovle casc’s question what are some things you are tired of hearing about People with Nintendo?
Here’s a fairly common one:
“Nintendo is for kids”
Just because the game has a more cartoonish art style or because it’s for all ages doesn’t mean that adults can’t enjoy their games, they always have some elements that adults can enjoy too
Like this? (dont worry its a amiibo costume)

Hell yeah
I hate tweens that call themselves gamers and think all games that aren’t 18+ are for dumb babies. I recall times when my class was full of them… it was hell…
I hate those people too
Just tell me straight up Kirby who beats the piss out of Giant trees and intergalactic villains, isn’t as fun as pointing a stupid gun at a zombie
The idea that Nintendo is perfect and can’t do no wrong. Complaining about other companies micro transactions, but eating up amiibo, complaining about DLC,but going crazy over smash, praising it’s free online but now switch has paid and as far as i can see isn’t as good as psn or xbox live.
Smash had 50 characters already plus mii fighters plus hours of content plus it was amazing and fun af
It could get away with DLC
Ok true but what about Hyrule warriors legends and fe echos
I can’t speak on that because I haven’t played them
Oops
You should. Echos is good. Legends is trash on Og 3ds sadly
Nobody likes them anyways :p
Hours of content in Smash4? Please anyone could get every character in the game and most rewards in a few Hours to days of playing… Just realized that this post really only applies to 3ds version
Uh… no? That’s not what I mean. The game is filled with content from trophies, custom character moves, mii outfits. Plus there is smash tours, challenges, various difficulties in classic, master and crazy orders. There is so much stuff
Btw does more pokemon in the routes means lower encounter rates?
Probably more evened out
.5% feebas
Don’t be afraid. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1509987268767.jpg
I was working on a simmilar drawing, tho in my one the baloon was Burst’s head floating on a string
Would like it if Pokemon Switch added 10 mon teams?
Competitive would be.. interesting.
Longer matches but mostly the same.
It would take forever lol
No
6 was always the perfect number for the current gameplay so I think they’d have to spice the gameplay a little bit
I mean, Pokemon Switch may just be open world
Unlikely tho tho
Nope.
10 is too much, I’d say 8
9 removes so much challenge from the game because you can realistically have a Pokémon of each type and thus removes a lot of challenge
I feel 8 is still too much. I’d rather they just stick with 6, or maybe bump it up to 7.
The only reason I think 8 is because I’m unsure if 7 is even that big or a change tbh
Also 5 moves per mon pls
Just give more of a reason to rotate and use different types of Pokemon in game.
My wish list for Switch
-6 to 7 Pokémon per team
-Semi-open world (like you can do things in a random order, but can’t move on to certain areas till some requirements are complete)
-A altered turn based system, keeping most elements, but adding some things like the ability to evade or defense yourself in battle
-Still has a big story
-Maybe have a BW style, where they inquire at least 100 new Pokémon and make other Pokémon available post game or something.
-They find a way to have Bank available and figure a way to transfer old Pokémon up (Star says what they can do is limitless, this is within the rules of limitless)
That’s about it any thoughts?
It will be 6. And I doubt they will make 100 new Mon sadly. And the battle system will be unchanged. As to open world stuff eh maybe but would not count on it.
Meh the Battle system I can live with. But I hope for no more ideas to gimmick to emphasize old Pokémon instead of making new Pokémon
*shrug* GameFreak will do whatever they want so eh.
It will not happen, would I be opposed to it? No. Do I actively want it? Eh.
Would Volake be a good name for my European Water Vole startrer (1st stage)?
Okay, If you’re not saying anything I’ll just go with it
I say go for it (always know when I’m around I’ll try to post to ya)
Interesting fact, all of Red and Blue rescue team’s events that take place in a turn are generated after you attack
How do I know?
Because if you save state and make the same move, even if its moving like a step to the left, the exact same events will happen. This includes misses, status afflictions, and even critical hits
Playing through Sun reminded me of the thing I desperately want changed in USUM
Double battle frame rates
That.. is all
Have any of you ever looked at the last time you touched something and cringe?
I apparently haven’t edited my CV since September. Yikes.
I just want ampharos to get Tail Glow
Do this for me GF
It and Shiinotic both need it
I mean Xuriktree and Manaphy get it, they don’t even have tails! As Xuriktree has 3 legs and Manaphy has a weird hair like thing on its head
3 legs
So
2 legs
And a long tail
But tails don’t typically get show as something you walk on
And why doesn’t Illumise get it either? It’s originally the signiture of Volbeat and Illumise literally is just Volbeat reincarnated
It really should branch from being exclusive to a mythical a UB and a forgotten Firefly to also an luminous Mushroom and Bright light… thing
Illumise’s got a completely different tail based on fragrance, not light.
Xurkitree does have a tail tbh, and Manaphy’s thing may be a tail because it’s a stylised slug
Yeah let’s make it op >:)
It makes sense too
Yaaaas
For my fangame curse is getting some more utilization ;3
Maybe even a rework? I dunno yet
Your gonna rework too? I think after a long time or if I am cluttered by other stuff I need to break free and refresh myself
And restart again
I’ve reworked a ton lately
So
This is terrible
Welcome to Slavy! The Region with complex culture and interesting history! As you move to Owice Town, you meet Professors Pine and Fir that offer you one of these three pokemon:
Leaffur the Leaf Cub Pokemon,
Hissling the Fire Snakelet Pokemon
And Volake the Baby Water Vole Pokemon
Now with your Pokemon, go on a jounrey with your new friend from the neighborhood, challenge gyms and fight with other strong trainers.
Meet over 100 new pokemon, like Normal type Felil, Normal/Bug Pierbug, Fairy Nurspirit and many others! And discover how some Pokemon like Bidoof and Starly are diffrent in their changed Slavian Forms! The Adventure is awaiting!
I’d say change it to
Snakelet and Vole Pokémon. No need to verify their types that much
I mean, I really like the name Hisslet, but it doesn’t scream Fire that much so I wanted to show that. I kinda agree with the Vole thing.
Leaffur sounds more like a Lemur tbh 😡
Also yay, you used my name!?
I think it all sounds quite diamond in the rough-y, it has potential and you’ll naturally smooth it out over time
I kinda have a problem with the region name, it’s too similar to the word “Slavic”
Well
That’s kinda the point
But I see what you mean
This actually isn’t that bad! It’s certainly a good start
Gonna post my regional intro
It’s a taaaaad dramatic and probably mispelled everywhere so sorry about that
