Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[AreJay25]

Wait. . .I just heard something about Sun and Moon that may or may not be true.

Spoiler: Postgame Spoilers

https://twitter.com/pokemon_PhD/status/796771751023747073?s=09

WAIT, WHAT.

Well Infinite Universe Theory intensifies if this turns out to be true, then!

For the record, he said you can't get cover legendaries or UBs this way, but still. OKAY then.

Spoiler

Apparently you can get another Cosmog. So you might be able to get the other box legendary.

Here's some news for the people who like the Sonic Boom TV show.

Sonic Boom's second season will now be mainly airing on Boomerang at 6pm Saturday. A much better time slot then Cartoon Network airing it at 6am.
http://segabits.com/blog/2016/11/10...iring-later-on-cartoon-network-this-november/
It's also been confirmed that more characters from the main series will be appearing.

While the new timeslot is nice, I still don't understand why it's on Boomerang of all places.

And most of those Bug/Flyings are in NU because of either their Base stats or movepools, right?

And abilities. Which is also a problem shared by Ribombee.

Ribombee has good Special Attack and Speed and has a good movepool to go with it. Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz and the Pollen move, Moonblast, Baton Pass, Energy Ball, Psychic, Roost and Substitute. And even Solar Beam for Sun teams. Already it has alot of variety in it's moveset compared to the likes of other Bug/Flying types like Ninjask.

That movepool is a lot more shallow then it appears. For starters, Ribombee has no answer to Steel-Type or Fire-Type Pokémon-both in which are plentiful in OU. Ribombee's STABs are resisted by a large handful of OU Pokémon, including Heatran, who basically counters it.

Ribombee is a QDpasser. I've said this before. It can switch in on Outrage and get free buffs. It can also come in on Choice Dragon or Fighting and setup. That's the best thing it'll be doing, but not sweeping unless its late.

Ribombee@Leftovers/Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Speed, 6 Sp.Def
Moonblast/Quiver Dance/Substitute/Baton Pass

Right now, this is all I see it being able to run. It does not have the movepool to sweep, nor does it have the abilities to give it any real edge other then being able to bulk Scalds. Its really good- but not enough data is on the table to determine its overall effectiveness.

Now stop pre-tiering this thing. Yes its cute but Sun/Moon isn't even out yet.

Boomerang has pretty much just become a second Cartoon Network. They air a lot of their modern shows on there now.

 

[Metal Shop X]

GameXplain new video have been out.
And it confirm that the Wii U production is ending.
Here a link.

Now I wait to see comment in the video of people saying that the Wii U was trash and that no good games were in it.

The final ATCQ album is finally here. I'm literally listening to it right now. It's really good stuff just based of the first track.

I know, it just doesn't make much sense to me. Airing new shows on Boomerang seems to be missing the point of the channel.

So what would your reaction be if either of these were the smash Switch trailer:

Spoiler: Option 1

In it Ice Climbers are revealed, and then Inklings and another Fire Emblem Character happen.

Spoiler: Option 2

Ice Climbers, Inklings and Sora are revealed.

What would your reactions be?

If unique FE character and hopefully one without a sword then I'd be like "cool, move on". I'd also be slightly concerned with Lucina/Roy status even tho its prob a Smash 4.5 and also be staying away from the inevitable saltiness.

If clone ......whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Ice Climbers = pure joy

Sora I'd be like eh I'm alright with him but don't care. Good for those who wanted him.

 

[Pazzo.]

I know you all totally hate Hades, but I'm feeling spontaneous today.

 

[Ivander]

Now stop pre-tiering this thing. Yes its cute but Sun/Moon isn't even out yet.

I wasn't, really. I mean, something that is bolded, italiced and underlined at the same time isn't exactly something to take seriously. Also, saying something is automatically OU for being a hard counter to the new Pseudo isn't exactly the most serious thing to say.

That being said, all I'm going to be serious about is that the little guy does have variety and good potential. Sure it can't combat Steel and Fire-types effectively, but at least it can be more than just one role and it can handle those roles good with the right setups, much like how Pokemon should be. Regardless on what Smogon will declare the little guy as, he will still go on my team.

Sarcasm detector triggered.

In a couple hours I'll be gone for 4 days. I'll be going to Obama Land.

Obama Land? You mean Trumpistan.

It's Trump World... but it's still Obama Land until January 20th.

 

[FalKoopa]

Obama Land? You mean Trumpistan.

Trumpistan has a nice ring to it. And would probably piss him off too.

 

[Deleted member]

So, I have been recently heavily spoiled on Twitter on Sun and Moon's plot.

And I need someone who is ready to devote him/herself to prevent me to commit a murder.

>defends point

Oh for God's sake.

Then maybe you should of outright said it if I obviously didn't catch it instead of trying to defend it as if you were being serious. This is the internet bud. Sarcasm is a hard thing to come across. Bold, outline and italics don't mean **** together unless you make the joke more noticeable.

Do you know if this is a fake quote

Because if it's not, it'd be hilarious

That's fabricated too. Most of these fake wuotes originate from social media and go viral because people believe things even without a proper source. Though even the media has fabricated fake quotes and such, this one originating from a conservative outlet.

*tapes Final Smash Gamer to a chair*

So what exactly happened? How did you get spoiled?

 

[Erureido]

Did that Sun/Moon team planner

Spoiler

Actually really balanced. Passimian can learn Earthquake, so it will cover that Electric weakness on Primarina and Toucannon. I need to check who can learn a Steel-type or Poison-type attack though, because that could help against Fairy-types. Other than that, it looks fine.

I decided to go with Passimian and Alola Raichu after learning the news that Gallade isn't on the Alola Pokedex and Silvally is a post-game deal. I might still try to do a trade via GTS to see if I can get a male Ralts. I think I'll need to do some more planning on which Pokemon would be the 6th Pokemon if I succeed with that, but other than that, I think this is good for now.

I also did some planning for my second playthrough:

Spoiler

Also pretty balanced. I also thought about using Robombee instead of Sylveon, and while that would put me with 3 members weak to Flying, Lycanroc and Greninja (thanks to Ice Beam) take care of that perfectly.

The funny thing about the teambuilder is that I got it from someone in this thread pages ago but no one even noticed it then

Also, some questions for those that looked into SM story spoilers, no spoiling please

Spoiler

1-Does anyone know how long the game is? Just the maingame not including postgame

2-Speaking of which, just a simple yes or no, but, does the so-called Alola League have any Gyms as some have theorized?

3-Can the UBs fight be considered proper boss fights? Or are they as weak as normal wild Pokemon?

4-Do the empty spaces in the map become anything if they aren't the future gym locations?

Spoiler

1) Still hard for me to answer that, but from what I've seen, it's a good size.

2) No

3) Yeah, they could be considered proper boss fights. They aren't weak at all.

4) Not sure. I think they just stay the way they are.

You know, I had a dream last night that I was taking a trip to Hawaii and playing my ukelele

And then some heavy metal band came out and started performing live

...

And I wake up having to go to work...

Next time, put critical Sun and Moon plot details under spoiler tags.

Thanks for understanding.

 

[praline]

I'm actually frustrated about in sun and moon ignoring alolan forms, starters and UBs there is not a single new dark type pokemon.

Do not even think of grouping me up with those people. Cause I was never trying to prove Ribombee is automactically OU.

Also, I just realized that Ribombee can absolutely destroy Kommo-o. Ribombee has immunity to Dragon and it has a 4x resistance to Fighting. And it has Quiver Dance. Ribombee for OU!

Besides taking out the image, there are no edits. No changing anything. How is it not obvious that I was joking? Did I not add enough memes or lingo? Did I need to make it more glowy colors! Did I need to make the letters the max size? Would a different style of words would've flashed out more?

Also, I just realized that Ribombee can absolutely destroy Kommo-o. Ribombee has immunity to Dragon and it has a 4x resistance to Fighting. And it has Quiver Dance. Ribombee for OU! Come at me, broz! Haters gonna hate!

Just....don't. Much to your chagrin, I wasn't serious, I was never trying to prove anything and no, I am not pulling the prank card as I despise the prank card that people pull just as much as other people. So when I reply to your, "Stop pre-tiering stuff already." with "I wasn't, really.", I do mean it. When I replied to the other posts, it was either replying a question, like "does Kommo-o learn any Rock moves" or simply saying what Ribombee has in it's favor that makes it good, Not OU, just good, like the 4x Fighting resistance, the good Special Attack and Speed, the movepool, etc.

I'm stopping before I give myself more negativity. It really ticks me in the wrong circuits when people group me with the things that I don't like myself.

 

[Chrono.]

I go on Youtube and the first thing I see is...

...LOL

Okay well good journey to you. I have work to do and I'm not wasting my time with this.

Yeah and my favourite gen 1 pokemon didn't get an alolan form!

 

[Delzethin]

Fingers crossed that they keep them going for future generations...

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Considering Megas, I doubt it. Hope we get more exclusive Z-Moves in the future. Absolutely beautiful

 

[ChikoLad]

Supergirl pls

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Ohmori's comments on Alolan forms kinda makes me think they were meant to be a 20th Anniversary thing (or at least that's the reason why we only got Gen 1 guys).

But still, I can't help but feel they kinda held back with them.

Why only celebrate 1 generation?

They could have easily done every gen. I thought up many from gen 2 to 5.

Grandfather clause, I suppose.

Also there's also how Gen 1 mon are easier to redesign and are just instantly recognizable regardless.

Little did she realize the Emerald City is actually made of Kryptonite.

1-Ah, that's good to hear, I really don't want all this hype to just end in two days.

2-Welp, so much for that league :/. Wonder what the "league" is then, though I'll wait to find it out by myself

3-That makes me hyped for them, non-trainer bosses was something I've been waiting for since Black/White Kyurem disappointed me and with Totem Pokemon and Ultra Beasts in this game, it seems my wishes have finally been granted

4-Those are just SO suspicious. The squares, what do they mean!?

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

I know you all totally hate Hades, but I'm feeling spontaneous today.

Wrong, Hades is the villain that we all love to hate.

He's too perfect of a villain compared to the likes of Bowser and Ganon the ManBearPig.
