Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Aetheri]

These strawpoll results still confuse me
Litten: 10
Popplio: 5
Rowlet: 3
I would have bet money here (and everywhere else) was rowlet country.
Im not complaining

See how quickly people jump ship because of a measely speed stat? You and I both know the power of slow grass types!

But I guess that means more love for our Heel cat!!!

You know of all the songs that were remade for ORAS im not a fan of a few of them.

But man am I glad they did Steven's theme justice.

Such a great (and nostalgic) theme and executed so perfectly.

I was the most nervous for Steven's theme going into ORAS, but damn did it not disappoint!!

----

Also there's one area theme that was actually pretty damn good from X and Y...

I am legit still confused why this wasn't added to Smash...Literally the first thing that came to mind when I heard this was Brawl's SSE...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I actually want to know more Sun and Moon plot details.

I, on the other hand, felt too spoiled when I saw a single pokemon that Guzma uses on his team

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I didn't vote but my vote would have still been Decidueye.

Honestly, the people jumping off ship due to stats are jumping off too soon.

Esepcially since we don't know hidden ability/movepool/how the unique spread works in this metagame/etc.

 

[Mythra]

You really wanna hear that Ultra Beast music dont you XD

Indeed
I imagine it being a fast paced arrangement with some sick keyboards thrown in for some reason.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Why do I have health insurance if I have to pay $3000 out of pocket before they'll cover anything?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I can understand being a little disappointed in the final stats not being that great, but there's more to it than stats alone. That said, it probably won't be a top tier Pokemon. And that's okay. Although to be fair, Grass has gotten the short end of the stick(no pun intended) often enough. :/

 

[Aetheri]

Don't mind me but....

Just doing a quick piece of shameless self promotion...

As some may or may not remember I actually run a Creature design contest on another forum...For this week's topic I decided to do something Pokemon related for obvious reasons...
Specifically this topic is centered around Pokemon Fusions...If anyone's into creature design at all, this could be a fun topic to dive into...

Or don't that's fine, too...

[Knight Dude]

Young Justice is getting season 3. Not sure if it's been said here yet.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Here's an interesting question.

Do you guys think the PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio will actually sell well?

Support seems to be inconsistent and I feel that most people will be satisfied with a normal PS4 or Xbox One.

 

[Z25]

Can someone link me to the thread you guys are following that showcased stuff like the ability changes?

 

[Deleted member]

Just did that PokeFusion thing randomly a couple times to see the results, and I saw something that's just.....um.....

Fearduck.

Do not want.

Accidentally read another spoiler on Guzma

Probably should not read /vp/

Hard to say. Most people will be satisfied until the next huge step. Especially seeing as the current console generation, in all honesty hasn't had many big releases to get hyped about. The only way they will sell a lot is if they had good games or the hardware itself is noticeably better.

Like, the Switch will probably do alright if they market the ****ing thing properly, since it's by all means everything the Wii-U should have been. PS4 Pro might do okay, since Sony has some decent exclusives. All of the X-box ones are also on PC, which seems shortsighted in a way.

At the very least, they'll sell decently since they're new, souped up consoles.

But.. I really don't see the need to rush out and get a Pro. Yeah, higher graphical fidelity is nice and all, but how many people even own a 4K TV? They wouldn't even be able to get the most out of it. Plus, it's not getting exclusive games or anything like that. I feel like I could be just fine with a normal PS4. I'd need to see more of the Scorpio to really judge that, though.

While I'm honestly not sure, I'll give my two rupees:

While I can guarantee there are people such as myself who don't own any PS4 or Xbone model yet and are thinking about getting a Pro and/or a Scorpio, I can't imagine the average vanilla/slim PS4/Xbone owner upgrading, maybe unless Sony/Microsoft goes against their word and releases exclusive games for the Pro/Scorpio.

I think they'll do alright...

There's a lot of people who believe in power in their systems...therefore there's a big enough crowd that will eat up all the Teraflops...Although I believe both Sony and Microsoft confirmed that both versions of their systems will be supported which could potentially hurt the sales for their upgrades but probably not enough to drive too many folks away...

For someone like myself that hasn't bought either a PS4 or Xbone it's a better investment to buy the Pro and Scorpio (If I could afford it that is)...

They'll sell but won't even reach the OG versions.


However vanilla PS4s/X1s will sell like cray with possible price drops.

Wait for Xbone at $149.99 and PS4 at 174.99 in the near future

[Coricus]

Clicking the random button over and over on TV Tropes and decided to sidetrack slightly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_catfish

Zapfish are definitely a thing IRL. Oddly enough, they can be taught to transmit energy in exchange for food.

The thing is. . .they live nowhere near Japan. Or any other really pop-cultury place. So either they were imported to Inkopolis at some point in the past,

Spoiler

they had a migration when the climate messed up and everything mutated. . .or since a ton of other things with Splatoon don't make sense on a normal timescale, somebody genetically engineered them and transplanted them on purpose. Who knows.

So this is on an SMB walkthrough from 1999.

I prefer the top one personally

 

[Radical Bones]

I will fill out that Pokemon grid thing when I get home from work. It looks fun.

Also:

Spoiler

How does Decidueye have roughly base 65 speed. Game Freak. Why.

Who is our quick starter? Incineroar? And Primarina is defense based?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

So I'm thinking someone stold 250 dollars from work...One of my cashiers was short tonight and I CAN'T explain it.

Also the manager keys were out of place and not in their hiding place but under the register.

So...yeah...

FML.

We won't know for a while but yeah Decidueye is bulky.

Incineroar is probably the glass cannon, Primarina defense/special based, maybe?

This is proof that Nostradamus was alive all this time.

 

[Deleted member]

So do I. The only problem, however is that Q's the only character that has that outline. The reason being is because I forgot to color index his portraits. Which I did to all the previous characters to prevent any colors getting inverted and looking like a glitched out mess. However, I didn't notice that I'd be getting rid of some details.... Eh, oh well, at least I have my own little touch to the roster now. I may prefer the top too, however, I guess it's worth it just so none of the characters have any problems with the portraits being inverted, and I like the thick outlines, they sort of have the same appeal as the ink in all of the SFIV portraits.

But regardless, at this point I'm just focused on finishing adding everything to the roster anyway. I can always reinstall the portraits later on, at least then I won't have to worry about other things to add. And the portraits still look lovely, as I mentioned, in fact I really like them too. It's just that I like to have everything as neat as possible. Oh well, lesson learned I guess, and it could've been worse, at least the side effect still looks good.

 

[Aurane]

Spoiler: SM Spoilers

On the point of Decidueye, the only thing that's saving it from being thrown in the same trash bin with Trevanant is its HA, which when you look at Pokémon like Greninja and Blaziken can make a significant difference. And its not like Decidueye has nothing presently. It's got a solid attack in Spirit Shackle which is effectively a physical Shadow Ball with trapping ability. Heatran has proved in the past that attacks that trap can work if utilized properly (Magma Storm).

But this alone isn't enough. Decidueye needs an ability that's damn near broken to have it be placed in higher tiers. Decidueye with Speed Boost isn't a joke; it can learn a priority attack, has a powerful STAB in Ghost and may have a good STAB Grass as well. Throw Roost in there, a defensive build, and time Spirit Shackle correctly, and Decidueye could Speed Buff on a Pokémon who can't really do much to it, as an example.

In short, don't be too quick to turn Decidueye down competitively, but in reality, its HA may be its only saving grace. Being originally a Flying-Type, I hope it gets Brave Bird. That would be awesome. Additionally I hope it gets a Shift Gear- like move.

 

[Z25]

Oh nice, I was playing Pokemon Sweet 2 and got a shiny Pieduck! Pretty cool game so far.

>Gengar loses Levitate
Well that's a unwarranted nerf right there.

That aside, I find it weird that no one seems to be spoiling anything regarding the story. Even though main series Pokémon has always been bad when it comes to plot, I'd imagine someone would do it.

Spoiler

NOOOOO

His new ability better be good...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If you don't want to see spoilers for the story

Don't look anything up about Guzma or Team Skull

Because what little I saw was big spoiler to me IMO

...It debunks common headcanons

 

[Mythra]

It took me a nice amount of time to do the grid thing, but it was fun.

EDIT: OH **** IT'S HAPPENING

Many thanks to our (anonymous) data source for Sun/Moon. Datamined info, incoming.

Ah, that's interesting. Apparently the game has been dumped online and dataminers are going through it

So, everything will be revealed soon
