I think I’m going to try to dig for some info on these ads though. I have three 7-11’s that I’m on a “banter”-relationship with as I often go to them to pick up stuff. They know my wife and kids, I teach some of thier kids at school, I’ve done stuff for them with translating signs, etc etc. I’m going to visit them and ask if there are any plans they may know of in regards to these ads once they get taken down after 10/4. I highly doubt they will know exactly but it’s worth checking out. I’ll stop by two of them on my way home today and then the third tomorrow morning.

You call that a hard pill

I call that a Flintstone's.


I think everyone basically expects that at this point.
Everyone seems to hinge on “it’s happening tomorrow!” Knowing how fast we get hyped and then lose interest in the content after a month passes, people will be screaming for F8 after Thanksgiving. I think people accept the fact things will take longer but with crossed fingers while secretly hoping for “please let it come soon.”

To be honest though, I would say a hard pill to swallow is to accept the pass has been cancelled but we all know that’s very unrealistic.

Honestly?

I think the general consensus is that this is it for this year.

Here’s a tough pill to swallow...

...we could be well into January or February or...even March, for F8.
It wouldn't surprise me.

Only reason I'd like it to be soon is so that the pass as a whole isn't dragged out for ages. I don't think it'd be totally fair to keep the supposedly final four remaining newcomers unannounced and unreleased for another whole year, imo. Then again, COVID's a thing, so who knows how badly it's stalling development time.

How many people here actually took Flintstone's vitamin pills as a kid?

I'm curious with how much it's been memed lol.

I'm not expecting otherwise. But what Nintendo could do if they were nice, is at least reveal who FP8 is, so the fanbase doesn't have to spend all but a few weeks of the entire year in the dark as who's next to come. A minute respite and then back into this for another indefinite stint sounds exhausting.

I mean in 2019, there was only about two or three months total that we didn't concretely know who was next.

However, clearly 2020 is not exactly the year to expect Nintendo to throw the fans a bone.

I don’t quite get the logic behind why people would think we would get F8 in December. We will get F7 probably this month or next followed by F8 in late Winter, F9 in Spring, F10 in late Summer, and finally F11 in December of 2021. That’s my personal road map for this dlc but even I see this as being overly optimistic.

And considering Crown Tundra's entire Dex already leaked, and I wasn't confident in Isle of Armor to start, color me very....meh.
It is funny how we still don't know who FP7 is, but dataminers were able to find the entire Dex of Crown Tundra barely after it was revealed.

Sakurai knows how to hide characters pretty well.

Well, that's more due to Gamefreak just being kinda incompetent.

Like, a LOT of Crown Tundra was left in the Isle of Armor for no damn reason. Smash isn't free of this, Smash 4 had the slots which basically told us how many DLC characters we'd get, and Ultimate launched with Brave, but yeah, Gamefreak has kinda proven time and time again they're really bad of scrubbing out files that should not exist yet.

Picture of the day



Diamond and Pearl anniversary and oh god I did not realize it was that old and I now feel older as a result
Diamond and Pearl was released when I was 3 years old. Feel even older now?

Here you guys go talking about half-remembering Diamond and Pearl while feeling old and I’m like “I got Pokémon Red and Blue when it first came out and even got the awesome player’s guide with it...”

Jokes aside, my daughter is a year and 3 months older than when Ultimate was released. My youngest is older than Terry but younger than Byleth.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but I really hope the next character is one that appeals to a lot of people overall because otherwise it'll be months and months of "wow, it was this character huh? Really?" It seems we're all in a general consensus that we won't be getting CP8 until a while after CP7, so let's hope things end off in a good note, with a lot for us to talk about.

How do you have memories of yourself being 4???
I have memories from when I was around that age too, such as when I was beginning Kindergarten. They're very vague, brief snippets of moments that don't last more than a second.

That is a good point I have been thinking about what the heck this thread will do for several months after CP7 and depending on how much salt the next character will produce people here will either have a lot to talk about or everyone will be miserable.

I think 2020 has mentally aged me 5 years making me feel older than I actually am

The same thing we did between the last 2 characters.

After sitting and thinking for a while, I've come to realize that I've been rather harsh when speaking of Nintendo at times, and I feel it's unwarranted in some respects. I would go on about how Nintendo wasn't releasing/announcing big games, but a lot has happened this year:
  • Animal Crossing
  • Paper Mario
  • Sw/Sh DLC
  • Smash announcements (as sparingly as they have been)
  • Lots of third party and indie support for the Switch (including a noteworthy update for Shin Megami Tensei V's status)
    • Monster Hunter Rise was a significant announcement
  • Super Mario 3D All Stars, and the announcement of a Super Mario 3D World expansion
  • Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity announced and releasing soon
  • Kirby Fighters 2
  • Retro games continuing to pop up in the Switch Online service
  • I'm sure I'm missing something
Not every year, especially such a historically awful one like this, is going involve Nintendo hitting constant homeruns, announcing big game after big game. There's always going to be that slow year, and I think for a crazy year like this one, they've done very well.

My only real complaint is that I wish Nintendo could be more transparent about their status.

I should've got the player's guide too.

I used my Master Ball on a Seel, then my brother called me a word no longer accepted in our modern parlance, and then I cried.

Ah, the good old days.

My first Pokemon game where I was old enough to comprehend what I was doing was Fire Red, and let me tell you, I used my Master Ball on a Tangela. Not my brightest move, because I was then searching Silph Co. for hours looking for another Master Ball.

(By the way, I think the Gen 3 graphics are the best in the series; I really enjoy pixel-art. I think FR/LG is the best way to play Gen 1, the soundtrack is phenomenal. Just sayin'...)

Considering that the leak scene has been very quiet, I'm calling off a surprise Announcement of an announcement for tonight.


This week's going to be very interesting, and very telling. Has our "1 reveal a week" come to an end? Well, we'll find out eventually.
I think Nintendo likes to strike when there’s absolutely ZERO leakers lurking about.

Shame that they've failed to do that for the past month or so then. I can't remember a single big drop that wasn't leaked ahead of time, even if it was more subtle in its leak.

Hell, even SMTV was leaked, just no one really went in on it for some reason.
