  4. I’m on a total Heracross kick
    my Trainersona’s Heracross Bio

    Male
    Current Level 68
    Brave Natured (Obviously not true but who’s counting)
    Location of Capture: Ibex Forest
    Moves: Megahorn-Close Combat-Earthquake-Aerial Ace
    Ability: Moxie (Should be Guts)
    Unique traits: Wears a Mega Belt that holsters his Heracronite
    Personality traits: Extremely tenacious with a iron spirit, whenever not battling he’s always trying to shove boulders or bend tree trunks with his magnificent horn to test his lifting abilities, often never backing down from any challenge with laser focus….except if he smells sweet syrupy smells like nectar or honey which he’ll immediately start licking up

  5. So I’ve been hearing about Nintendo opening another Direct slot after today’s Direct Mini and I decided to check it out for myself. Turns out the one they removed was last January’s Fire Emblem Direct. For you Fire Emblem fans out there (of which I will soon become), this likely means they’re going to post a new one very soon revealing the new Fire Emblem and don’t want people to get confused.

    • Yeah if we get another direct any time soon it’s probably gonna be for the FE Switch game. People should expect that more than anything else.

      • ugh lame….I hope we get some juicier info soon

        I really hope we see a new Wario Land game i feel he’s just not getting any attention lately

        • We prolly won’t get another general direct until April or May. There’s usually one right before e3 to get the smaller stuff out of the way.

          Reply
    • Ugh, I hope so, that’s all I wanted from this direct, no Smash? Fine. No Pokemon? Fine. No Metroid? Fine. But no Fire Emblem was the only reason I didn’t get initially hyped for this, though in retrospect, it was pretty Funky 😉

  6. Just finished Futaba’s dungeon in P5. It was actually quite the refreshing ending to the dungeon. Especially compared to the ones prior to it. Glad things got resolved the way they did and looking forward to getting into more story stuff. I let the game sit in that dungeon for so long. I prolly still have a ton left in the game. It’s times like this I really wish it was for Vita so I could take it with me and wouldn’t need to commit to siting in front of my TV.

    • God I had that feeling so many times before, you get sad because the game you’re enjoying so much is ending

      But then you get a little happier because there’s probably something more to play in the Postgame
