That is absolutely adorable and amazing! Also, I was dying at the Rowlet/Decidueye bit.

Still going with Litten... or pick Poplio at the start and then get Litten.

 

[Opossum]

In other news...

Yesssssss!
Kamala Khan's getting a Marvel Pop figure, and with that, all my favorite Marvel characters have one. Minor achievements ahoy.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Not sure what I can really say on the matter. The fact that a Mario Party game of all things flopped either means that people grew out of these games or handheld Mario Party titles were never that appealing.

So, Opossum how about that Pokemon tournament?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Looking at the currently trending Pokémon images/art, any reason why Leaf is being treated non-canon? She was absent in HeartGold/SoulSilver and there's no welcoming evidence in Sun & Moon. I played as her in FireRed for Pete's sake!

I'm started to notice that as well. A lot of Leaf fans on Tumblr are clearly upset that she didn't get to appear in Sun & Moon. Or wish she was able to get more respect.

And Yomi's Biggest Fan what's with the poorly drawn Garfield in your avatar?

It's Garfielf, respect his Gucci.

The cat clearly has to deal with enough **** from Jon and that damn poosh (Odie). All he want is those food, he's got to eat after all.

Because from the origin of the series; it was Red vs GREEN (ok Blue) and Ash vs Gary. Thus, with FR/LG, it's treated largely much of the same while Leaf is just an adaptation of the PokeSpecial Blue in a more "traditional" look.
Hell, if we go by this...

Only Dawn and Hilda are canon female protags, with Rosa being questionable.
Even Serena and May, despite their anime prescence, are bumped out.

 

[Z25]

I'm aware they are in the arcade version. But since the Wii-U is on the way out, I figured we'd see it on the Switch.

Sorry for the late reply.

Odds are we will. The DLC characters have yet to make an appearance or even a confirmation and they show little effort in keeping the Wii U's Pokken alive.

At least. This is my hope anyways.

I agree. Either all DLC is added at once when done, or we get a switch port.

I'm thinking Switch port, mostly because of that and the fact that Pokken is absent from Worlds next year, which is really strange. Perhaps an Switch version will show up instead?

The latter and Nintendo's constantly "fixing" an unbroke forumla. What happened with Mario Party 8 to make them abandon the old ways? Were the focus groups like "Nyeh, complex!" and because focus groups are always right they killed Mario Party, Paper Mario and Sonic's 3D game-play?

 

[Opossum]

So, Opossum how about that Pokemon tournament?

Was actually gonna post about this at noon.

In short, unless people start signing up with their teammates before the day's end, the tournament is sadly, cancelled due to lack of participant interest. Literally no one sent me a PM with their teammates when the tourney was supposed to start yesterday. :/ Kind of a bummer for me.

HeartGold Update (For now at least, because I don't know how much more I'm gonna progress today; I need to grind each of my team members 5 more levels, and I don't know how long that's going to take, and after that, I'm gonna do a bunch of other stuff before fighting Red):

Spoiler

Team:
Burnie
Robin
McFluff
Slicer
Jasper
(Shiny) King Karp
Today I caught Lugia and Mewtwo.
Catching Lugia wasn't hard but I should've bought Dusk Balls before attempting to catch it, because I only needed 3 to catch Mewtwo.
So, here's a new to-list:
1. Grind each of the team members to lv 75 bc I don't feel like grinding them at all so I'll grind them so that they'll be the same level as Lance's Dragonite
2. Fight Clair and Lance in the Dragon's Den alongside Silver in the Dragon's Den
3. Re-Battle Silver in the Pokemon League
3. Re-Battle the Elite Four
5. Take a screenshot of my team in the Hall of Fame after winning
6. Fight Red
7. Finish this playthrough and the Pokemarathon in General
8. Wait patiently until my copy of Pokemon Sun arrives (Which should be around December 2nd according to Amazon)

While it's neat they're innovating, some are still fans of the basic design. That means going around the board to collect stars, while playing crazy mini-games. After 6, they started to drop this formula, which didn't help. The controls and how to play the new mini-games, as well as small new features were fine. But completely changing the key goal per board doesn't work for all.

It is nice they are expanding the roster here and there, at least.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Geez, having more than two song on Midgar is really weird....
Not that I am complaining of course.

Okay, I think I might have just reached the worst part of Dragon Quest VII yet.

Spoiler

So at first you're lead to believe you just unlocked the Class system, so far so good, right? Wrong, because after choosing said classes for your characters, it turns out that the whole thing was a scam and you're immediately stripped of your spells and abilities and dumped into a prison.

So now, you gotta fight your way through this long ass chapter with a gimped party. Not just in skills, but in numbers too. Because your (arguably) strongest party member left the party for real during the last mini arc, so from a party of 4 you went to one of 3. So now you got a weakened party whose only way of offense is the regular Attack command and defensively can rely on items for healing.

On top of this, close by shops only sell crap gear, the monsters got a very noticeable upgrade from before, boasting AoE attacks and self healing. There's also multiple boss fights.

At least the story for this part has been interesting and that the reward in the longrun will be really worth it (the Class System), but man if this isn't a slog to go through.

 

[Deleted member]

Once Sun and Moon are out, I won't spoil myself on anything related to the game's story and I probably won't be around until my copy of Sun arrives.
I will, however, look at the Pokemon's stats and movepools.

That sounds slow indeed.

Class system was there from pretty much the get go in DQ9 With extra classes you need to unlock which is pretty hard, at least my 12 year old self found.

What kinda house do you all think Timmy and Tommy live in on animal crossing?

Pics for refrences are appreciated

 

[Deleted member]

I just watched the first episode of RWBY Vol.4, I guess I'm late to it but I kinda forgot about it lol
Thoughts

Spoiler

The qualitt has improved SIGNIFICANTLY, models look way cleaner and the animations are smoother
I love the redesigns, especially Ruby and she's as cute as always(though I do prefer her old clothes)
Aww man, Jaune's is... :^(

So we have our new villains and they are: "What the **** is that woman", Mister Moustache, Big Guy and "I guess it's overused and played very straight but I love Ax-Crazy characters"
Leg leg is still with us thankfully
Cinder has shown more emotions and personality in those 6 minutes than the entirety of her previous appearences
I hope Neo and Roman aren't really dead and come back later because they were literally the best characters in the series ans I want my husbando and waifu back

"The 7-minute generic-golem fight is 7 minutes too long" *ding*
Also, it almost feels like a completely different show the tone is so different and the plot seems to exist this time
I feel like they should have done this in Vol.2 or 3 because they spent too much time on pointless things back then

What is the time gap between this and Vol.3 again? And can anyone remind me what exactly happened because I seem to be forgetting everything besides Female Magneto getting killed by Cindy and Rose Quartz showing up and... freezing her, I guess? How did Cindy get out of there again? Events may be distorted tho

Interesting episodes of Generations.....kinda sad we only got episodes centered on the legendaries of hoenn....would have like to see Zinnia or May make an appearance.

Something's happening in South Korea:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/59z1le/breaking_korean_shadow_government_uncovered/
Some more mainstream links: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/10/29/south-korean-protesters-call-for-president-to-step-down.html
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...staff-members-to-resign-amid-worsening-crisis
Though they're lacking a lot, they have dat reputation.

tl;dr: the Korean president has been caught giving power to non-government people, the only one of which we know by name as Choi Soon-Sil who is a cult leader shaman lady. Some other people have been running the country, in short. A shadow-government, if you will.

8 shadow ladies controlling the government.
My goodness, this is quite silly.
It should be instructive, though! If their government, then perhaps ours...! We have tons of unelected, near-permanent bureaucrats who have a lot more power than congressmen or presidents, after all.

Im hitting an art(?) block with HHD, looking at all these houses made by japanese people kills my motivation

The woman is called Salem, she was at the last minute or two of End of the Beginning, and narrated Ruby Rose with Ozpin.
Axe-crazy? Are you referring to the guy Ruby fights in the theme sequence who had an axe on his arm?
Yeah, love how he and Em are horrified by the creation of Grimm. Expecting Em to leave for the good guy side.
The time gap is 6-8 months. Looking back, that feels a little too long. That implies that Tyrian's been looking for Spring for literal months, and that everyone else has been doing practically nothing for half a year.
White Fang and Grimm invaded Beacon, Yang loses arm, Blake runs away, pyrrha dies, Cinder gets hit be Ruby Ex Machina.
Qrow picked Ruby up from the tower, meaning Cinder was already gone. So she either still had some strength to run away, or was helped by the goons in her escape.

Also I can't be the only one who found that part of Ruby laughing to be very disturbing and unlike her.

There's also mass protests in South Korea calling for resignation now. Last I heard it was about 30,000 people and climbing.


It's weird, really. Also someone on Reddit gave a really good analogy to put things into perspective.

Imagine Obama's speeches, political decision, and even his clothes were created, given, and decided by the leader of scientology. Imagine Obama sending confidential reports to the leader of scientology, who then held meetings and gave that confidential information to his little henchmen to help decide the nation's fate. Imagine Obama forcing Apple, Microsoft, Ford, etc to funnel millions and millions of "donations" to two fraudulent companies secretly set by the leader of scientology so that the leader can use that fund for their own purposes. Imagine if the scientology leader's daughter went to an ivy league despite missing 100 + days of high school and had poor grades, and that daughter graduated from that ivy league despite getting all F's except 1 D, missing 100 + days of class, and submitting essay/reports that were not only plagiarized but also contained phrases like "LOL," "Lmao," and "wtf," but was still accepted and given a passing grade. Also, imagine that scientology leader's daughter was given a spot in the United States' Official Equestrian Team. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm glad at least some cabal is getting exposed. Now people forum spies are gonna have a harder time using the 'it's just a conspiracy theory' meme any more. Hopefully it'll be our turn next.
I'm itching to know who the other 7 of these '8 heavenly fairies' are. I hope the South Korean media exposes all the docs from the appropriated electronics, implicating some higher globalist cabal.
