Q U E N C H
I was an idiot and never signed up…..Every time I saw I thought “I’ll do it in a little bit” Whelp…..Oh well congratulations winners!!!
Congrats on casco and the other winners!!
Btw the art is pretty nice 😮
Props to starru
All i want is a roblox oof version of slateport city
So my project was this
A tournament based on evil teams. All players start as grunts for a team they choose teams and work their way up. There is a catch, however.
You can ONLY use mons from that team. That’s right, from that team. And your rank decides what you can use. For example, a team Rocket Grunt isn’t just busting out a crobat.
It’s a little restrictive but the point is to get creative :3
Anyways, all players for each team accumulate points as they win, for themselves to spend and for the overall team
The team with the most overall points wins.
Bam!
Let’s see if someone cares
Team Skull
Zubat
Koffing
Stunky
Welp
No but seriously do you want to participate or nah
Yeahh!!!
😀
Team skull I’m guessing?
probz
:3
Oh and to bring it up. YES, this is accurate. I am LITERALLY looking at every single grunt or team battle in every single game to see every mon each team used. I may add a few to teams with less mons but the point still stands
This was an absolute pain in the ass to make
So this is in Showdown or USUM
Because I might join if more people get in 😮
It depends on which ever ends up being more convenient. I REALLY want it to be USUM because it has the themes and such but if worse comes to worse y’know
What team?
It’d be a problem if it was USUM cuz I don’t have the game ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But yeah Plasma
Y i k e
Oooh plasma? You’d have an early start considering you have Sandile immediately
Nice :^]
:3
Aether if it counts or Galactic
Aether I’m a little iffy on because their actual Pokemon variety is utterly nuts but I’m sure I’ll find a way to balance it
Im down and I’ll be Team Flare
Interestinggggg
Not the strongest team but the boss position has some strong
*strong pokemon
I care
Logan Paul is Disgusting
Who dat?
Holy Crap I actually won! Nice!! I never really expected for me to win! I guess good things happen to good people ;). Anyway Just pm me on twitter whenever you are ready. Also everyone else go follow me on twitter I just became active again!
Thanks for this giveaway! I’m happy you guys did it! I appreciate you guys! this will be my first Pokemon Plush! (Also if there is anyway can you keep it in the box it came in)
These things don’t come in boxes! I’m either going to go to the Pokémon Center and pick them up for you (in which case I’ll give everyone a Pokémon Center bag) or order them online, which might give some special packaging.
Will be in contact soon!
Remember when I spent an entire day researching for a tournament and one person responded? Good times
@therece25:disqus ‘s puffs
Lol these leakers getting desperate asf
The individual parts of the UK would either get their own region or would work like Kalos/Alola with Republic of Ireland as a Post-Game area, the two pieces of Ireland would probably be named the same but with distinctions made like irl, and ‘Kuing’? Literally my mom’s word for a male monarch with a U thrown in

Nidokuing
Nice Pkm names and by nice I mean they’re baaad
Thing is the stuff that makes this unbelievable is the super political aspects. Everything else sure why not? The weird UK Ireland references nah son they won’t poke that bear with a 100 foot pole
Give me that Fire/Fairy unicorn tho
6 hours into XC2 and i can comfortably say its a lot better than XCX. Very happy i bought it, im having so much fun 🙂
Yep, and it only gets better!
When Ghetsis just wants to relax he wears this hoodie lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f1fbbeb0a4d7ecca717b01f72ed4833e8a411356630973bfeebc1f5b3a5f2b5a.jpg
Is there a nintendo direct next week?
No one knows for sure
What if they announce a Switch 2? That’s why I’m holding back on buying a switch ;~;
Lol. They won’t. Not in the first year :P.
So go ahead and order it then 😀
Yeah, since announcing one know would only cannabilise sales (people going to hold out till it releases, people holding out since they’d seem to do it often, people getting angry because they just bought one). It’s a bad idea all over this time in its life. There will only be a new model when sales slow down.
Is the switch pro controller worth it?
I think it’s great. Very comfortable and it’s how I play most games while docked
Def. But if you have small hands the Joycon grip suffices.
Nvm I’m not gonna buy a switch cause I just realized I have no free time when uni starts back 😐
… why would they do that
Rumor has it’ll be on the 11th, but that’s not official yet
There is. My brother’s friends’ uncle who works at Nintendo told me.
Holy shitt the more I think about it the more disappointed with ORAS I am
Is such a thing even possible?
If you think hard enough
With what?
Everything
But ORAS wasn’t that bad, it’s no masterpiece, but it is a nice game
They could have done so much better
That’s true, but at least it was the first time I ever beat Hoenn and I used it to rank alot of my Pokémon up in level
Alot of trainers were replayable, that’s its key good thing
More were in emerald
Emerald is the best way to experience hoenn still… after 2 remakes became the best ways to play that region
It’s pretty unexcusable
Ignoring the features that Emerald added was a great idea
Think of the potential for new areas Hoenn has
Ugh yeah
Hopefully the gen 4 remakes won’t make the same mistakes
Modern day remakes though
I can dream
I suppose
HGSS didn’t add any Crystal aspects really nor did FRLG to Yellow
….
Yes it did
HGSS added so much from Crystal. An entire subplot actually
Lol HGSS added from Crystal and much much more, ORAS should’ve followed that same path
Other than Eusine and Suicune, I see nothing added tho
Because Crystal added nothing
The girl character? And like star said crystal didn’t add much anyways
You can’t really use that argument though, FRLG used that even
It would be ludicrous to take out the ability to choose gender now
It would be ludicrous to take out a lot of features now but here we are
I was just giving like the other existent example of something that is in HGSS and was introduced on Crystal lol
Because Crystal werent very Different. HGSS added so much more new things to GS games to make them even better
Walking with Pokemon
Battle Frontier
PokeWaler
Pokeathelon
Safari Zone
Gym Rematches
All these things are things that attract numerous players
What new (not in RS) ORAS add that attracted a lot of players
Delta Story
Soaring
…
Do you see the problem here?
I mean… dex nav but
Oh and that too
That’s still the majority of what important things Crystal introduced. It’s no excuse for why they picked and chose what Emerald features they kept (which was pretty much keeping it to references in the Delta Episode)
Because Yellow was just RGB with Pikachu as a starter (which they couldn’t translate into FRLG because it ruins the start of those games as a RGB remake) and like a minigame, whilst FRLG added a lot of original content. The rest of the changes were anime based and don’t make sense outside of Yellow.
As Star said, HGSS added the Suicune subplot and Eusine
Softmonkeychains did a phenomenal job on their piece!! ^~^
So did you!
I mean you did great toooo
Both of you did great :p

THATS TOO FAR AWAY
Wait
Oh god damn it
Did I get you lol
….mehby
So you thought there was a 14th month lol
No I just didn’t wanna wait 12 days
After seeing the date….
-_-
You fooled me with that at first. Lol. Very clever sir.
There’s a special place in Hell for people like you…
I think remakes should bring the older games up to par with the newer ones ya know? Which is why FRLG has nice pretty improved graphics, and HGSS has so much new added including series staple (for 2 gens) a battle frontier!
So since X and Y had jackshit, so did ORAS! 😀
That depresses ke
Oh I realized I probably should’ve included my deviant art and tumblr so

I think the part of the reason why the post-game episodes of the 3DS games are so dissatisfying is that they reuse locations you already went through in the games. I understand why they did this for the UB Episode in SuMo, but they could’ve made that more immersive than just ‘cutscene catch cutscene repeat’, for example having the UBs as Totem-like bosses causing problems rather than just being in the wild.
Delta Episode is boring besides the Climax because you just fly around places you’ve already been too and either do really easy fights or have dialogue, or both.
Looker Episode in XY could’ve taken place in a small Southern Kalosian town or something for a new breath of air rather than Lumiose again, or at least a new part of Lysandre Labs or something.
RR has boss fights which can be fun, and it’s a new twist on an old area. But they made it tedious with the (imo) unfun puzzles and restricting grunts to one Kanto Pokemon each when they should’ve had a variety of Pokemon per grunt and have them use Johto Pokemon as well because Johto has no representative. Also, everyone should’ve had a Mega to make the fight harder, whilst Ghetsis, Archie, and Maxie should’ve been in their latest incarnations and made harder. Ghetsis should’ve had Reshiram/Zekrom and Black/White Kyurem depending on version, whilst Archie and Maxie should’ve at least had Mega Camerupt and Sharpedo, if not their Primals as well. It’s just boring because there’s so much they could’ve done with it but they restricted it to one place and paced it badly. Imagine if the dimensional distortion that effected Aether Paradise effected other areas too for you to explore and encounter new Pokemon from other regions? Like Maxie distorts Wela Volcano Park, Archie distorts Brooklet Hill, etc. And you can travel to these distorted areas after you beat the episode by Wormhole. Or something. This level of effort would’ve been fine if USUM had more major post-game but as the sole major post-game feature of USUM it’s disappointing.
it also doesn’t help that the Delta Episode is like being a dog on a leash. You’re just dragged around from place to place following an incomprehensible plot line that they probably wrote in an afternoon
I really don’t understand how ignorant, assaholic bitch Zinnia figured out the risks of shipping the meteor off to another universe before the top scientists did
Regardless of your opinion on Pokemon having a multiverse, it’s just so stupid. Like seriously, Delta Episode is whack.
I think teleporting the meteor to another universe when you have that machine up and running and ready to go is a much better plan than summoning a dragon god to send an 11 year old child with to blow it up
I think the better question is how there was no security strong enough to prevent zinnia from just waltzing in and destroying the device
Phrased it poorly. Like, what I mean is that why can Zinnia see that as a risk whilst the scientists deny it? If anything, they’d accept it as a possibility but do it anyway because that meteor isn’t guaranteed to even hit the planet in the other universe. Whereas Zinnia just lucked out that you just so happened to have the meteor Rayquaza needed, because if it wasn’t for you she would’ve ended the world.
plus like.. once you summon rayquaza she doesn’t know what to do after
Isn’t it obvious? The Whismur became so woke it opened its third eye and told Zinnia the truth
Her omniscient wiseness made her look like a Mary Sue lol
We know it was the Whismur
But then again, Corless can nothin personnel people
Pokémon logic doesn’t exist
It doesn’t exist yet it tries so hard to convince us that it exist
Magcargo is hotter than the sun
Machamp can punch 1,000 times in a second, Furret is 5’11” and Charizard is 5’7″ (Literally an inch above my head), Tyranitar destroys its home every time its pissed (and most dex entries say its always pissed), Scizor melts slowly every time it Mega evolves
This logic is insane!!!
She’s not even that because she’s a fucking selfish idiot
Two afternoons
One of which was spent deciding on the onimonopeia they’d use for Whismur
Uh I agree, Delta episode and the UB hunt from SM were pretty lazily done and mostly of all, boring by pretty much the reasons you listed. If they want to make another episode (which I’m not very fond of that idea) hopefully they make it more interesting and not full of confusing exposition >_>
Delta episode should’ve been a new thing that brought back in the Gym Leaders or something. If they are doing something new there’s so much more they could’ve done.
wrote a little thing about earthbound for a reddit post about favorite nintendo games
Earthbound is everything you want in a game. It’s surprising, it’s silly, it’s happy, it’s sad, it’s bizarre, it’s scary, it’s a good damn game. It’s really sort of a personal game too. The first half of the game is weird stuff going on in small American towns. And you’re just a small kid with a couple of friends. The spin is that everything wants to kill you.
Birds, dogs, snakes, skaters, hippies, middle aged women, robots, aliens, mushrooms, Salvador Dali Paintings, clocks, cars, exploding trees, eldritch abominations, ants… this game has alot of weird enemies dude
And this wackyness never feels forced. It just feels right. Like “yeah, that makes sense to be fighting a walking noose with eyes” because it builds up this personality and world. The game never lingers on anything.
Anything is possible, and with that, some truly creepy stuff slips in. It isn’t afraid to dip the player into uncomfortable waters before yanking them back out to some new thing.
The simplistic art style with the vibrant colorful areas that all are consistently varied and memorable all form together to create a truly unique world. It’s like being in a cartoon while still giving an air of very real nostalgia for being a kid growing up. Just.. ya know… with psychic powers
Earthbound is my favorite game ever and I’m glad the audience for it continues to grow through the years. Now, come on Reggie… give us Mother 3
I read clocks as cocks
Yeah….
I should finish playing Earthbound
do that
after SS
So this is where everyone went
