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?
Despite all these leaks, one thing is certain: Kingdom Hearts 3 is releasing in 2018
That’s what they want you to think
Dont make me cry, ive been waiting for 12 years
so pumped! Gonna play through the entire series over the summer to refresh my memory. Maybe not 365/…..whatever the hell it’s called tho….
365/2 days is bottom 1 but i have DS emulator if i do end up wanting to play it
I’m just not sure I have interest in playing it. I kind of want to play Chain of Memories simply because it’s so important to the story, but I’m afraid I’ll get frustrated with it due to the card system.
Currently doing a Re:Com playthrough. I love the card system personally, think its a unique addition to the franchise. And if we being honest, the command deck system from BbS is a evolution of the card system
Hmmm I didn’t totally mind playing BbS so maybe I’m worrying about nothing. We shall see tho. Still a number of months away form wanting to play ti tho.
Release date will be revealed on E3 so once thats out there i will do a proper full marathon as well. Its not like i’m playing CoM every day now either, kinda just like whenever i feel like it.
@EastGovnah:disqus Do you have a link to the Leakileaks post where the guy says something about this week? all I found was from a couple of days ago and in that post he just says that something might come this month. That said this is the last full week of the month so…..
Pokémon day is this week! I is probably gonna happen
Nope next week. It’s the 27th. That said Project Eevee tweeted that something was happening on the 21st, but that may be nothing given that it’s a promotion all on its own.
Eeveemon
A whole new Gen where the Pokemon are Eeeveelutions for every possible type combo
7.8/10 too much eevee
That sounds like a rom hack or maybe a joke skit on Robot Chicken or Rick and Morty haha
Its the 27th. I mentioned in an earlier article that i expected an info dump on that date
I picked the wrong day to come to robotics
It’s a meeting for only a select few to be at and I can’t keep up with them. Stuck here till 4 help me
Blows up wall with dynamite
You are free kurusru!
Freedom!!!!
One thing I’m still hung up on is Zeraora…..I find is SO hard to believe they’d announce anything brand new in any kind of fashion without getting it out of the way first. Sure they could do a soft announcement and just show off a new normal Pokemon like an Eeveelution or something without a proper title announcement, but idk….
Inb4 someone tries to say it’s a gen 8 mon……(it’s not!)
I want a soft announcement
Like a new eevee
So sorta XY style?
How would that be? We didn’t get anything before the XY direct.
I was referring to how Sylveon came before almost everything in the game
Yeah, but we still got the game announcement with the titles, starters, some game play, and even the legends before Sylveon.
That’s true I guess lol
When is the special pokenchi thing? People said that there was a important person coming. I still won’t watch it
Yesterday, and it was just for Illima’s voice actor. People hyping up stuff for no reason as per
Ilima is irrelevant
Who are you again
Legume on PJ who says Ilima is irrelevant
Uggggh
Pokenchi ins on Sunday mornings for Japan. So they happen when it’s Saturday evening for most of the rest of the world
Don’t expect them to announce anything about Gen 8 before they officially announce Zeraora. Just sayin.
I mean… that’s what most of us have been saying :p
I just see people gettin hopes up for an announcement for any little thing and it kinda needs to stop 😡
Maybe they announce gen 8 with a Zeraora tie in?
Eh I doubt it. Why put Zeraora in Gen 7s code if they’re going to release it to gen 8
They did it kinda with Zygarde
Ash-Greninja and the Zygarde forms were revealed October, Volcanion in December
Could we see a new Lugia form before we see Zeraora? After all, CoroCoro said their next scoop is on Lugia. Could just be a Lugia based article with nothing new (or new info about it, such as design origin and the like) but you never know.
Water/Dragon Multiscale Mega Lugia when
Yeah, we might get it as soon as next month!
I’ll be pissed if Lugia gets a form and Ho-oH gets jack sh!t
It’ll probably be a Mega or something tbh. i mean, Mega Mewtwo Y got a movie and not X so it’s not like forms have been excluded before.
haven’t*
Still skeptical about the future of megas though
This is the next cross gen so… we will have to see
Yeah I wish they would bring back more cross evos instead of just eevee
Megas tho…
Those too 🙂
Which one do you all like the most? Any suggestions on how to improve the one you chose?
https://i.imgur.com/8aDBuQx.png
I like the 3rd one. The eyes look kinda weird tho
Middle one.
I like the third one. I would say make the eyes more similar
The first one’s hair colour on the third one
But if it was just these three without alterations, middle
The second one
You should work on the faces really. They kinda look like they’re melting. Keep I mind the head isn’t flat. It’s a 3D shape.
And you aren’t just drawing eyes on. They eyeballs are inside the head so they will have eyelids and an eye socket.
As a guideline for proportions, the top of the ear lines up with the eye brows and the bottom of the ear lines up with the nose.
Don’t be afraid to change the shape of the head to accommodate the features.
You’re in the right track just gotta get that damn anatomy down! It’s tough but just keep working at it. You’re doing great
Yeah I agree with the face. I’m not very good with them lol.
Never knew the proportion trick but I just tried it with my head and it worked, so thanks!
Hey man they’re hard to draw lol. I’d recommend checking out Proko on youtube. His videos are about traditional drawing but his tutorials on drawing heads is basically a must watch. It makes everything make much more sense.
Can’t wait to see more from ya!
Middle but I like more the haircolor of the first
So like this?

Yep, pretty much
Thank you to everyone who commented! 🙂
Second one (sorry for being late on this)
I still haven’t gone to Poni Gauntlet or picked up Nebby in USUM. I haven’t felt the need to……
me niether
what happened to my discord invite post?
It died
it went bye bye
I killed it
like denials and their fakey leaks
Stop talking
You stop talking
Make me
meet me in the dms
that’s my line
why i needed a headcount for who’s playing
whyyyyyyyy
Leaks:
Star is in denial
Fairy is cool
Earthen makes me have a purpose
???
annoying you
that’s just so no cool
…
inside joke
okey
Bought a new shirt at hot topic today! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d743f6d1f0cf1ad0572840e873659107933f5a410ff121d0b8d5c1f6f2d3c86e.jpg
Is this wrestling inspired?
Yes it’s the shield reunion shirt! Wwe released it sometime last year. Been wanting it but never had money until now lol
If I have a DS and a 3DS will I be able to trade a mon from Fire Red to another game and back to FR?
nope, pokemon cant go back
You’d need a GBA slot in both and 3rd gen games.
You only need the DS with the GBA slot and no they don’t transfer backwards

Jiren is likeable
Zamasu is better than Goku Black
Oh and that tingly feeling in your back
Honestly, I didn’t mind that explanation. It’s a different universe, it’s very possible they have different ways of tapping into power like that. Universe 7 has rage, and Universe 6 has concentrated energy in the back region.
Dragon Ball is dumb
You passed the test
Never got into the show so
I don’t preference this show much
Goku is a super sonic ripoff
he is just awful
Naruto It’s better
Dragon Ball is a JoJo ripoff
Actually he’s but Akira destroyed his personality in the last episodes just make Kakarot look better ……the manga introduce Jiren better as well
i don’t watch dragon balls what it’s about?
I think Yugi is the best DBZ character.
last chance we need like…….4-5 people left for D&D night
https://discord.gg/3aff7z
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-706159753
this was actually kinda funny
Politoed used Whirlpool into a Perish Song while Tangrowth used Infestation
WE BOTH DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice win. Weird choice with Ice Beam on Magerana though
dude ground coverage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KzWP1_M3K4
=O
ooooff
Lockstin is so good
I really lke this series
Mad to think that Ground is basically a dead typing and that Landorus is literally the only thing keeping it relevant
How?
that is far from true
Swampert, Garchomp, Mamoswine, Quagsire, Excadrill, Gliscor and Steelix are very much active in most meta brackets
oh and Hippowdon
Primal Groudon? Or is that banned everywhere? Nidoking?
it’s a legends so yeah, Nidoking too but Nidoqueen is often used more these days
Why Nidoqueen more?
i just see it way more often, usually because of more bulk and Toxic spikes and Stealth Rock
And even Flygon is pretty good in RU
Mad to think Electric is one of the worst types in the game and only secondary typings and abilities keep its mons relevant. Sad.
Spot off as per
The truth hurts. Not very shocking
which wouldn’t help with Ground
Cough flying and levitate
Excuse you Magnezone and Tapu Koko would like a word
i’m too busy hitting them with Ground type moves
https://pa1.narvii.com/6621/6bd9ba716a47693aed3caa1c20c132e36a6117d9_hq.gif
i was most referring to Zapdos, Thundurus and Wash Rotom they wimp out of ground justice
There’s so many OP Ground Pokémon and have been in the past that a statement couldn’t be any less true.
Made me smile☺ Pokemon Go IRL – Doggo Version! https://imgur.com/gallery/egcT9
I don’t get it…
It’s an imgur album, you need to click the link
It’s one single image, you linked the wrong link.
Yea its the link. for some reason it posted a picture with the link
I didn’t link it
You posted one image, which isnt the same as the imgur album and nobody has a way to get the album from the image, relink the album please.
I copied the link again I hope it works for you this time. https://imgur.com/gallery/egcT9
DogGo
Why is this worthy of having 361,000 views
Because dogs are cute asf you debbie downer
Where is there a dumb dog in this picture
So
What’s up in everyone’s life
Looking at horrible quality pictures from toyfair and wishing people could actually work a fucking camera
Watching Beavis and Butthead as I waste my life and intellect trying to get Celebi
Probably gonna yank it in a bit, ‘tis a boring Sunday
Preparing my mono team
I have no idea what I’m doing for mine.
Oh crap I forgot about my mono team
The competition is on the 21st right?
just hop onto the discord
Finally seeing The Shape Of Water tomorrow. Otherwise terribleness.
Electric is top 1 typings
> Literally no impact on Uber
> Barely any in OU and those that are are only there for their other type or great ability
> Nearly every Electric Mon has a terrible movepool

I had a pretty great haul from the game store today. I finally got around to buying Wii Fit (and Wii Fit Plus) along with a Balance Board, along with Samba de Amigo. Then I also got the Retro amiibo 3-pack and Pac-Man because I’ve wanted them for ages. To top it off, I got Mario is Missing on NES. I’ve been inspired to get my game collecting started up again, so I’ll probably focus more on retro games for the foreseeable future (NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube mainly). But I need to stop spending money right now so I’ll wait until after my birthday on March 10 😛
buy billy hatcher
That’s definitely on the list, but I may start big with Fire Emblem Path of Radiance or something like that. Maybe also Super Mario Strikers.
a saw a sealed copy of melee for $100
Where are you getting all this scratch
I had a $50 gift certificate so the price was cut in half. Also, for the others games and stuff I buy on Amazon I have over $2K in my bank account from working and I just eat into that every once in a while. Probably not smart but it works for me at the moment.
Black Panther was really cool.
Idk if it’s a great as people are saying but it’s pretty damn good
That’s what I thought. It’s great, but it’s not the best movie, nor even the best Marvel movie. I wonder why people are fawning over it to the extent that they are.
Yeah Dr.Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy are what I think are t’s best Marvel has
Guardians, Avengers 1, Cap Winter Soldier, Ironman 1 are all examples of ones that are imo better. Thor Ragnarok was also more fun but I guess it was meant to be.
I still don’t think I’ve seen the Iron Man movies or at least I don’t remember much of them
The first one is great at least.
They will do it again when avengers comes out lol happens with pretty much every marvel movie
” it’s a great as people are saying but it’s pretty damn good”
every marvel movie ever :p
Omg I’m crying:
https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/02/18/black-panther-screening-accidentally-plays-fifty-shades-freed-and-audience-freaked-out.amp.html
Well, Black is a shade of grey? Right? Right?
Probably because one involves a guy in a black suit and mask and hitting and the other is Black Panther.
Found my first Ultra Wormhole shiny, it decided to kill itself turn 2. Pretty much sums up how things are going for me.
Dang sorry to hear that😯 I’m guessing recoil damage?
Perish Song Altaria. Technically it died later but it wouldn’t be caught.
Now that i think of it… Is there any way to nullify that move besides imprison?
Soundproof I think. Throat Chop maybe? Taunt is a temporary solution but I wasn’t looking for it so wasn’t prepared. If spore had lasted more than 1 turn I might’ve had a chance.
I see. So are you hunting anything in particular right now?
No just leveling my Toxapex then back to trying to get a low attack IV HP Grass Blacepholon. After that probably Poipole. I’m not that fussed on regular wormhole shinies but I still want to catch them if I find them.
Well good luck I’m about to go back to Celebi hunting so I’ll see you and everybody else most likely tomorrow.
GL, I’m going to sleep myself. Goodnight.
Goodnight https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d72e717e0551a987c50c03bd68595c4bd3481ce59d3ce31de72e1164db9a1709.png
Goodnight man! Sleep well
