QUESTION OF THE DAY:
If T’Challa, King of Wakanda, AKA the Black Panther was a Pokémon trainer, what would his team of Pokémon be?
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
If T’Challa, King of Wakanda, AKA the Black Panther was a Pokémon trainer, what would his team of Pokémon be?
Hmmmmm
Liepard
Incineroar
Lucario
Tropius
Rhyperior
Bisharp
I’m gonna say…
Liepard
Serperior
Gliscor
Hitmonlee
Bisharp
Alolan Persian
I’d say:
Liepard (for the suit)
Carbink (represents the mystical quantities and the ore of Vibranium)
Zeraora (again for the costume, but also because of the claws and how it can unleash shock waves)
Mega Metagross (represents the virbanium in the suit, how T’Challa is “powered up” by the herb (so mega stone in this case), and, again, claws)
Xatu (represents how T’Challa “sees” the previous Black Panthers when consuming the heart-shaped herb)
Nidoking (represents the kingly side of T’Challa)
so splatoon players how did everyone do in the splatfest? I managed to get king rank for the first time. That said I was shocked at the popularity results difference lol
didn’t bother
I did that in the last one lol really enjoyed playing this time
I lost like every game but I guess team love pulled through somehow
I managed to win a good bit. Leveled up three levels over the weekend. Honestly I think it helped that we had a huge numbers advantage
QOTD: Incineroar (main), (Mega) Absol, Liepard, AloPersian, Sableye, and some Steel type as a tongue and cheek reference to Vibranium. Maybe Steelix or something? The first four are obvious because they’re felines associated with darker colours, Sableye because it’s scratchy and crafty and loves precious materials (another Vibranium reference) and as I said Steelix is just there because the metal was important to Wakanda’s development.
Article: That Giratina art is some gooooood shiet, and all the new merch looks amazing. If I was more into collectables, I’d so go for the Muk articulated figure and the Mareanie plush.
Maybe Bisharp instead of Steelix so it’ll be a Dark mono?
ughhhhh i wish i could burn like 100 bucks on tomy figs
I’m not proud of this but when i was a child i begged my parents for the pokemon figures everytime i saw them whenever we were out, sadly my gigantic collection was lost to the test of time but i still managed to find and save my Sandslash……although weirdly a few years back i actually dug out an Ekans figure in my backyard
Granted right now i got a few good ones

To ramble more about Beast Morphers, it’s pretty interesting that they’re going back to adapt Go-Busters, and not adapt a more recent one like Zyuohger or Kyuranger, especially after Amit Bhaumik’s concept for an adaption got denied. It seems like it’s because starting April, Hasbro will be in charge of Power Rangers toys (Whether or not that means Power Rangers will move to something like Discovery Family after Super Ninja Steel like how it was moved to Disney after Time Force, I don’t know), and it seems they approved the adaption..
I am happy about it. Love the suits and Mecha from go busters. And it’s staying on nick until 2021 at least. They already announced contract extensions for three years
That said I am hoping they put an end to the super seasons. Just have one whole season for the year then move on to the next series the next year. The fact they are adapting go busters does make me wonder what will be adapted next. Maybe toqger will be adapted 🤔
Yeah, the suits are super cool, I especially love the Stag Buster (Silver) suit. I’m questioning just how the adaptation will go considering Go-Busters is pretty dark
I see a lot of people speculating it could be a sequel to RPM which was pretty dark itself from what I have heard. I need to sit down and watch it eventually.
Same. Also, this gives me hope for a ToQger adaptation. I love that season
I didn’t like the Mecha from that show at first but I just admit they have really grown on me. And honestly I have never actually been able to watch a sentai. Just followed it. Is there somewhere I can watch it? Very interested in the one going on now
I bet it has a lot to do with Bandai having a big hand in making Kyuranger. They may never be able to do it honestly.
Yessss! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d62984645a26ebb1945d65e6a2ddcd9b7803e514f5be2eb568ede0a52fe8e9f9.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/947615a0cc2ab75d699ce6f9f9012a6c20499c484045806499418797f247929a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e6d575badd173570f6bcc3e5b749f3060306691b538b068b99d8dd3282547ae.jpg
Alright Man!!!!! Ya got some of the best Yo-kai the game has to offer
Now I just gotta train them up… But how…
I suggest take them to the infinite Infereno and fight commons with them taking the back of the wheel (they gain the exp fast that way)
I’m doing that and accidentally fought the lizard….
I lost
To the infinite inferno!
Made it to Brawly how’s my team?
Celery (Treecko) lvl.19
Dogwood (Poochyena) lvl.15
Pineapple (Wingull) lvl.16
Melon (Ralts) lvl.16
Daisy (Dustox) lvl.16
Shiitake (Shroomish) lvl.18
Nvm I wrecked him
2 Disarming Voices from Melon to Machop
2 Wing Attacks from Pineapple to Makuhita
Didn’t take a single scratch of damage in the match
Looks good, nice to see that Daisy’s still alive along with Shiitake. I am curious about Celery. Are you waiting out on a move to teach Celery before he evolves?
Yep waiting for Giga Drain at level 21
And Daisy definetly surprises me how its lived this long or how its only once gotten very low health. And I think Flannery will be my hardest struggle knowing I have one super effective on her and we have to get passed Wattson first.
That’s right, Watson should be tough considering there isn’t a lot you can do with your mind outside of Status moves. Have you gotten an encounter yet in Granite Cave?
I caught a Makuhita named Onion (Two reasons for the name, it’s head reminded me of an onion and… Hariyama has layers!)
The only areas left before Wattson are the area with Gulpin and Electrike and the Roselia area
Every week and every time I want the plushes………*sigh*……
Persona 5 review
0/10
Can’t use Futaba on my team
…
Ok that isn’t my actual review but come on she’s my favorite character
still…..no…..celebi…………
o k e y
we get it
Do you? have you spend nearly every minute of every hour of every day SRing over a span of 90+ hours?
all for some stupid red shellfish that may or may not even be awarded which i could’ve probably gotten myself? knowing you have little to no control of the situation nor any indication that if you’re close enough?
Well if you are THAT determined to get it then don’t complain about it a few times every day
I complain in order to illustrate the sheer amount of effort i’m putting in it for Star, i really don’t feel she grasps how much freaking time im investing solely for her and her alone
and not once have i ever seen her mention actually working towards her end of the bargin which makes me feel like that if i ever do find the stupid pink onion that she won’t be able to get me my Shiny Male Wimpod on time or ever
so what i’m trying to say i want star to at least kill herself working towards my wimpod as hard as i’m working for her
0.0 okay….
i mean am i not wrong?
You are taking it the wrong way
oh really huh, how would you feel if you were in my position…always on your 3ds doing the same thing god knows how many times, constantly having to see others manage to find them in short amounts of time and while you sit there still not succeeding?
I’m pretty sure it was probably a casual trade, not a race. Shiny hunting should be fun, if you don’t like it and try to bring others down with it, then what’s the point of doing it at all?
Earthen whatever just stop I don’t want the celebi that bad just call it all off
i sunk too much time into this already and i’m not gonna let it go in vain
and not for nothing i still have the stupid Shiny Celebi in Ultra Sun that i glitched for you
the other other thing i could do i buy another copy of gold on my brother’s DS and play until i get to lake of rage and transfer it to Silver and coin case it and actually do the nature thing and make it modest
Earthen fucking stop doing it. You aren’t any closer to getting it, the odds are the same. I’m tired of this I don’t even want the thing that bad. Stop it now
It’s not for you anymore. This is a pride thing now
He knows once he’s dragged himself this far in he should finish the deed even if it kills him. It’s the way alot of people are
The difference is that the Celebi is fully capable of coming out with a bad nature or something cause it’s all waaaaay less controllable than my Poipole hunt. And the fact that the cutscene takes longer. It’s not worth it
I agree its not worth it and I agree he should stop, but I know he won’t
Wasting time without even a small reward isn’t Earthen’s style (why do you think he spends so much time on Showdown? This is why) and even if its meaningless in the long run or the person doesn’t want it anymore, quitting for him is a failure and he hates being a failure. So he waits. Day by day, till it finally appears and he can say he did it and reap the insignificant benefit of it
At this point Earthen even though you don’t want it. Keep it if you get it, keep it to remind yourself of what you did and that you didn’t give up.
Oh bullshit
It’s a bunch of pixels. It isn’t a pride thing. It’s just meaningless trash you don’t even really want. I don’t want it. Earthen can you just put the damn game down and stop hunting it I’m sick of this and I shouldn’t have let you go this far.
WE GET IT
Fursona 5 is better because of that
It’s a shame, but she’s still really use full.Especially when you max out her Confidant
Soft resetting is worthless
because of it I have a shiny Verizion so…..?
but it takes so much time.
It only took like 3 days and I was doing other stuff at the time, you CAN multitask while doing it…
but i strive to get this thing so focusing is all i know, have you spend nearly every minute of every hour of every day SRing over a span of 90+ hours? 😉
It only took me like 5 hours…. Some people just have bad luck
i know, im just acting like earthen
ooooooohhh.. I see
If you can’t multitask, don’t SR
Trust me on that
Isn’t shiny odds in GSC like 1/300 something? Pretty sure it’s lower than Gen.4 and 5 at least
Oh wait I forgot my Hollow Knight Review
Okay, this game is a masterpiece. From the music to the characters to the artstyle this game is just so.. so… soooo good! Like the characters each have their own flaws but that just makes them so much more lovable. Also this game can get pretty sad…
Story *spoilers*
So this is the kind of story that you have to piece together yourself and it just works. All of the characters each have their own motives and even the smallest NPC’s have character,
Also there is one bug that if you re-enter and talk to enough times, the infection will turn them into an enemy and they will attack you…
Ok the final boss(es)
First the Hollow Knight
Wow like at first you are just fighting him and then he starts to STAB HIMSELF! That is so crazy and sad at the same time
Ok the Radience
All I have to say is if felt pretty dam good to be the darkness slapping the living god.
closing words- great game and plot
also why did we have to kill Hornets mom ;( or why did Cloth have to die…
Can’t wait for DlC 3 soon!
9.8/10 this game was pretty close to perfect
Spoiler tag is but with a / instead of a l
are you kidding me
it still tagged that
it’s basically spoiler and then /spoiler surrounded by
Fixed it!
oh
You were unaware so it’s fine
You may be able to still add the tags with an edit
Very slight team update. Phanpy and poliwag evolved! Had to backtrack to olivine because I forgot to get the strength hm 😬 will play more today! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ecb1dcd5ae7a72ab6fde2070387ca3f097fceceee4cfff1a0e317aeea2b701f8.jpg

You guys.. possibly True Huge Leak…
Sri Lanka
l8
oh this leak….
Might be true..
Fairy said Late
Fairy: “Late”
Wut.. you said already? I scrolled down and didn’t c
it was on the last article
Yeah well… No one is reading that now
Yea true but thats why people said late
Yo faker than a rubber cake
since seraph said its fake it most likely is real
well I mean I’m not ALWAYS wrong
Faker than my girlfriend
Why do we believe this person
We will have to wait and see I suppose. If it’s true from the starter hints sounds like the grass is a rabbit to me which I expected for the fire type
not really. The leaker said he found three sentences that may be related to the starters. One of them is “I heard females have bigger ears”, however the leaker never said which sentence is for which starter. We assume the “you can tell it has fire in its eyes” is for the fire starter, but it’s just an assumption…
Well either way when I hear ears I think of rabbit lol so maybe a grass or water rabbit
I want the new games to be announced tomorrow just because im fed up of stupid leaks everyday
This is real. watch
If it’s real I’ll post a video of me swallowing my phone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNwTwvnjdVg
Your performance will be… phoned in.
Gtfo
Like Leoreo?
Hope it isn’t we already have enough island regions as it is
1 is too much
I mean i loved Hoenn, Alola was meh but enough is enough.
ot him, but this is everything I remember
>Battle “arena” with exclusive items
>Regional dish Kottu is spicy
>Region is island or pinensula named Meania
>Grass type “snorlax” that people make fun of
>Some type of collecting element
>Jungle boy named Silvan is timid and probably manipulated by the villains
>Not unreasonable to be released late 2018, announced in March
>Starters described as follows:
” I heard females have bigger ears ” , ” You can tell it has fire in its eyes ” . ” I always get confused… Is it its real face? “
That’s so …. like… that’s so specific wtf? Did this get like lost in translation?
Huh… Too specific?? Lol
The starter part is vague. Not sure what to think of it? What are they based on?
When I see bigger ears I for some reason instantly think of rabbit. The other two no clue
I don’t know. The leak itself is pretty interesting but the leaker gave so many informations about himself. Where he studied, where he lived in past, what part of the script he has, how he became a translator…Don’t know, something I wouldn’t expect from a leaker…
https://youtu.be/dbn2OvD8DdQ fans of AGP check this out. Tribute mike made for his dad.
Hey Kurusu quick question: when you finish with you Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke and I finish my X nuzlocke, do you want to battle it out with our final teams? If one of us has a lesser amount of mons than the other, the other could make it with matching the amount of team members the first person has.
Sure! Sounds like a fun idea to me 🙂
Earthen I got an idea for you. Since people here are fed up with your hunt, if you want to continue it and not want backlash I made a shiny hunting channel on my new discord for you to use
https://discord.gg/XebaZz
Anyone also can join cause I addled channels for all my favorite games and a gaming channel in general : )
T’Challa’s team:
-Liepard (Duh)
-Thundurus (He marries Storm in the comics) —or Castform, but Thundurus is better
-Bisharp (Dora Milaje)
-Stakataka (His wall)
-Aggron (Vibranium and Armor)
-Porygon-Z (Advanced tech from Wakanda)
Question, why not one of th CGI-nos?
Well, mainly because I don’t think Rhinos are that important to T’Challa himself. They were a creation for the movie as far as I’m aware. If I had to make a team for W’Kabi, and I’m not sure why I ever would, then I’d have one lol
I just had to mention them in some regard XD
Plus, T’challa is too good to have a rhyhorn on his team 😉
That is true xD
Alternatively Suicune or Zeraora could replace Liepard..tis a hard call
Gen 8 region is Italy? Would be class in terms of lore and in terms of Pokemon could be pretty diverse as well,
Another island region? Cancel the franchise i’ve had enough of this garbage man
Well it isn’t real so
Not necessarily. Maybe a region that has a part that’s an island, but maybe not exclusively
No just no islands i’m proper pissed. So many great countries out there why another boring island?
I mean without ok now what they’d do with it how can you call it boring?
That’s islandist, reported for island discrimination.
‘Oh no we’ve had two island regions the franchise is going downhill even though I haven’t seen how else they could do the island format’
Look we could get another urban or field region, trust me island is not that bad
Don’t you think it’s a bit too early to blame GF and cancel the franchise. The leak maybe wrong or it may be true and the island is amazing. Wait to see something before judgement.
Oh no! They have ideas that they want to expand! The franchise is dying!”
A comment related to my last one that I didn’t just comment onto my last comment for some reason
Woah deep
Oh wait I forgot my Hollow Knight Review

This post is because it says the other one has to be approved. if you can see he other one PLEASE tell me. I don’t know why it says it’s gone
It’s saying the same for me and I can’t see why it would be flagged
Disqus auto flag system, when new accounts start commenting a lot disqus starts flagging some of their comments iirc
Grrrrr
Me neither
if the script leak turns out to be fake Ill buy Ultra Moon
2 copies
3 copies
You should stop at 3
Of both games
I’m really starting to think the guy might be legit. He’s so detailed and is keep his info straight that it doesn’t have any holes that I can see. Not only that, but the way he describes the translation process is basically what I’ve heard they actually do. It’s hard to 100% say it’s true, but it’s the most realistic rumor we’ve gotten in a little while that doesn’t come from “trusted sources” anyway.
leakers are now saying Pokemon will have a announcement this week? what
Wait where’d you see that?
that leakileaks guy is claiming it rn
Reeaally now. Got a link?
One of the leaks says tomorrow lol, I’d crease if it’s not until tomorrow next year
100% true, you can now catch humanoid sonichu
i mean Pokémon day IS this week right?
They announce something on Pokémon day. The announcement is that a big announcement is coming
And that the announcement will announce another announcement on that announcement’s day, which then it will announce the games and then another annoucement that will announce the new starters.
That sounds about right
Little game inspired by the CotD
> Post your favourite human character from anything
> Give them a team of Pokemon, including their ace
Marina but I wanna do Tracer as I guess Marina isn’t technically human anyways
Emolga
Zebstrika
Togekiss
Jolteon
Arcanine
Scrafty
Idk why I enjoy making teams for characters so much
I’m living for the punk Tracer reference with Scrafty
It doubles as a graffiti Tracer reference :3
Maybe include celebi cuz she can time travel
Favourite character:

Do I see Cryogonal getting love? 😀
Her glyphs (which is also her family’s symbol) are snowflake shaped so yee
Bored, so justifications
AloTales and Froslass just fit her
Snowflakes are the Schnee family’s crest and the form their Glyphs take
And Aegislash, Mamoswine, and Vespiquen are based on three of her summons: the Arma Gigas, a Boarbatusk, and a Queen Lancer

I’m getting so tired of hearing about leaks
You want more leaks? Got it. Plus and Minus coming soon

You monster
They only get worse
but my sink is running
Just stick a leek in it
Leek
Who isn’t? The hype season hasn’t even started yet
the hype season never ended
The gen 8 hype season I mean
im hyped for gen 8
I mean the trailers and stuff
I’m hyped to see trailers lol
Me too!
I am too
I’d rather hear concrete official news, than people who know a guy who knows a guy who knows a girl who has a mom who’s cousin is dating a janitor at GF
but its all real
Give me concrete proof right here and now
because we denying it so its real, when we want it to be real its fake
We denied the rainbow gerninja
Now here we are without new umbreon and espeon forms
People just want to hear news. I know gen 7 is still pretty fresh, but it wasn’t very good and Pokemon fans are an impatient bunch tbf
Considering how short the post game for sumo/Usum was? Not really that bad to be impatient
I’m more impatient for Star Allies knowing its still gone about a month till release
Yay! Hopefully a day 1 for me
I definitely am aimed at getting it and may be a Switch the same day
Then I must scrounge $150 to repay my brother for my half of the deal
Hey now gen 7 is great. It had its flaws, but almost all Pokemon games do
Personally i enjoyed it but i get the idea that the general opinion about it is pretty negative.
USUM aside I’d say one big thing that people would have complained less about if there was a skip option were the cinema scenes. If the skip was there’ people would have had one less thing to complain about. That said I feel like in term os cinema scene Pokemon fans need to get a grip. Pokemon is actually in the minority when it comes to Jrpgs and not having massive amounts of story thrown at you. GF seem to want to take the series into a more standard rpg space and Pokemon fans are just gonna have to deal.
