On a lighter note, CoroCoro has just leaked, confirming two of the leaked UBs and that Necrozma is indeed a legendary and not a UB as it was initially thought

"Virus" seems to be Sun exclusive and "Pillars" seems to be Moon exclusive(I'm calling them that because I don't know their real names). Likely that both are UB-04

Also confirms the starters' Z-Moves
Funny to note is that the Decidueye and Incineroar poses are taken directly from the leaked concept art

dunno, I kind of think he's BOTH. I heard he might be an UB that's just been on "earth" for a very long time

 

[Aurane]

Wait a minute. Ultra Beast Origami's actual name sounds a lot like a certain character from an FPS game.

Spoiler

This pleases me.

Spoiler

Beast Boost doesnt immeditatly buff its buffs when you get a kill

but ya nice to see Blade and Blaster revealed now we dont have to pretend they dont exist when talking about version exclusives

Are we just not going to spoiler their names now? Because those weren't... Ah **** it who cares.

Anyways...

Spoiler

I didn't know that. Well that doesn't really change a whole lot anyways. 181 base Attack will get a revenge kill.

Spoiler

Then again, aren't UBs really just otherworldly Pokemon?
I'm not going too deep into this since I'm trying to avoid story spoilers but this is what I've gathered from some comments

My game comes at the end of November... I also hope I have enough money at that time to pay when it comes.

Just came back from GameStop. Turns out the NES Classic Edition is in short supply.

The GameStop I went to only had 12 copies available... ...and guess who was number 13?

The employee said it's sold out online and suggested other stores who still had copies. However, I don't want it badly enough to trample over people and pry the last copy out of a dying child's hands.

Nintendy better restock big time.

It sounds like this is one of those "you didnt get it? to bad. you nevet will" kinda things

I'm very surprised that we got Necrozma this early, usually the final members of the trio like Giratina and Kyurem are kept silent until release, yet they're pretty upfront about it here and even allude to its connection to Solgaleo and Lunala. I wonder what they have planned for it if they're putting it on the forefront this early on.

As for the UBs, UB-Blade probably has the strangest design of the currently revealed UBs, but it's in a good way. I like the origami thematic it seems to have, and the face makes it familiar in a sense, but still quite different and alien. UB-Bamboo on the other hand is one of the more 'human' designs of the revealed UBs due to it having a face and a shape reminiscent of a woman, not unlike UB-Beauty. With that said, I do like its potential concept of being based on the Princess Kayuga/The tale of the Bamboo Cutter legend, as some of the things we do know about it line up so far (an alien creature with the appearance of a woman in a kimono that has bamboo traits).

To me, Pillar is the strangest of the UB's

It looks completely different than any of them, even the not revealed ones

Spoiler

And some of the others I can believe are pokemon, but because of Pillar I was convinced for a short time they weren't pokemon

Edit: I heard it's UB name is Pillar or Pillars

A video came out with a lot of juicy details on the Sonic Pack for LEGO Dimensions.

Spoiler

There's some nice promotional art featuring Sonic and some other characters in the background of the studio.

Also, you may have noticed that Sonic used to have the generic player icon and HP aesthetic in earlier showings of the pack. Well, it has since been updated - his border is the classic emblem logo, and his hearts are now 1-UP monitors.

Also, in each level in LEGO Dimensions, there is a "character in peril" that you have to find and save, and you can see a preview of them on the pause screen. Well, in the Sonic Pack's level, it's actually Big the Cat!

Also they have a really nice Genesis style "Title Screen" intro at the start of the level

When Sonic falls into pits or loses all of his HP, he doesn't "burst" apart like most characters. Instead, he has the classic animation from the Genesis games.

And another really funny tidbit - near the end of the footage, you hear that one of Sonic's generic phrases that he can blurt out is "Hey, long time no see!". It sounds like a random one liner, but it's actually a reference to a lot of the 4Kids era of Sonic voice actors. "Long time no see!" was an INCREDIBLY overused phrase in the English dub of Sonic X and many of the games the 4Kids cast worked on. They really know the fandom well, and are going very in-depth with the references, it seems!

They also mentioned that, while Green Hill Zone's section of the level is 2.5D (with minor background and foreground space to move in and out from), other sections will have different camera perspectives more reminiscent of the 3D games like Adventure, so the different sections of Sonic's level are literally going to be like ripping those levels from their game!

They also mentioned that a lot of the Year 2 packs are twice as big as an individual pack from Year 1. They also said they consider Sonic to be the crown jewel of the Year 2 packs. Which is really nice to hear, it means they are truly going all out with this. I'm honestly as hyped for this as I would be for a new 3D Sonic game!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Edit: I heard it's UB name is Pillar or Pillars

Welp, naming mine Pillar men now

I didnt expect that

[Wario Bros.]

While I was at GameStop, they also had those SEGA Genesis classic game consoles with the Sonic 25th Anniversary logo slapped on it.

However, nobody buy those. The hardware is cheaply made, 40 of the 80 games are just short super ****ty flash games, spotty cartridge reading, and a sound engine so awful that it ruins the experience.

My psychology professor just had a lecture about Trump and quite frankly im pissed off again.

Having a grown woman on the verge of crying, talking about other professors and students crying, and all the reports of sexual assualt, sexism, and racism and all of this bull **** is just infuriating.

I know ive probably made too many political posts at this point since it feels like no one cares but i do. This is my country. I have to live in it and the next 4 years are probably going to be some of the most important years of ny life.

And when you start it with a woman who had already been sexually assualted on the verge of tears over the leader of your country saying he would grab women by you ****ing know what and all of the innumerable things he has said from the top of the wall down to the bottom of the ice caps he wants to melt it pisses me off that people allowed this to happen.

I'm glad video blocker not only helps me avoid leaks, but also annoying *** clowns like this.

Still a better theory than "You killed Blue's Raticate".

I hear people worrying about Kanye becoming president in 2020 a lot, but I think they're just jumping to conclusions. They need to actually give him more of a chance instead of thinking of Kim Kardashian and getting scared.

... Kanye is actually running for president? That's... uh, interesting.

 

[Schnee117]

Wait a minute. Ultra Beast Origami's actual name sounds a lot like a certain character from an FPS game.

This pleases me.

Spoiler

She saw that Arbiter was crossing into another franchise and decided that it was time to sneak one of her fragments into the Domain so it could become a Pokemon because being voiced by Princess Peach and Salem wasn't enough.

Right there with you, Zebei.

This is why I said to my professor "I came here to learn, so please teach like a professor should"

Yeah I sound mean, but when she goes on and on about trump, I learn nothing about whats gonna be on my tests

Let me ask you this, what big changes would you really expect out of West? You think he genuinely wants the country to change instead of doing this in a desperate attempt to stay relevant?

The same can be said for both Ron Perlson and Chris Rock.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Spoiler: Diamond Update

Cool Moves (Level 33)

Private (Level 42)

Powthing (Level 30)

Childhood (Level 32)

Anita (Level 38)

Infigrowth (Level 36)

Infigrowth evolved using a Shiny Stone, so I gave the Exp. Share to Anita.

Reached Snowpoint City and battled the gym. Snover was two-shotted with Cool Moves' Jump Kicks. Sneasel was able to take him out pretty easily though. After Sneasel and Medicham, I figured I'd switch to Anita for Abomasnow. He (yes, Anita is a boy) actually was able to do a lot of damage with a couple Embers, but was still taken out after Candice healed. While battling Abomasnow with Private, I revived Anita, so he still got the experience when I won the battle.

One gym left. Gardenia was the only one I ever lost.
I infiltrated Team Galactic's headquarters and fought Cyrus. Murkrow and were easy thanks to Childhood's Rock Blast. Anita learned Fire Blast in the middle of the battle to replace Ember, so I tried it out there and used it to win against Sneasel. From there, I moved on and freed the Lake Guardians.

I wonder how many are aware that the Wii Classic Controller (and I think the Wiimote itself) work with it too.

 

[SuperMii3D]

It's 9:30 where I live and GameStop opens in 30 minutes. I wouldn't be able to make it on time to grab a NES Mini so rip that dream

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Congrats on being so insensitive then

Now, Im not saying "deal with it". I understand she is in pain and Im really sorry for her

I guess personaly, I just think If I come to a class I pay for to learn and then learn nothing, I would be kinda irritated

again, not saying "get over it" why would I tell her that?

 

[Pazzo.]

So you're telling me that not only do I get the better Lycanrock and and a Wish Dragon with Sun, I get two awesome Ultra Beasts?

Can I call 'em or what?

It's not the teacher's fault that she's mentally unstable and depressed
If you want to blame anyone, blame those that did that to her
Besides, she could easily have stayed home but she instead decided give her class like normal

 

[Wario Bros.]

Another classic console thing I might be interested in is the Retro-Bit Generations.

But I'm not buying it unless I hear good reviews and even then I probably won't buy right away..

Im not blaming the teacher,you know. I know it isnt her fault. I KNOW its never the victims fault

Nowhere did I say "Its her fault" and of course I blame to actors, they are the ones that did it, not her.

 

[Aetheri]

Been thinking...

Even without the leaks and datamines, we still know a ****ton of information regarding Sun and Moon since Game Freak and TPC have been handing out information on the game like candy...

tbh...I feel like they did because of the leaks...Think about how much new stuff has been added to Sun and Moon aside from Pokemon....think about what would happen if we found out about Trial captains, Totem Pokemon, Kahunas, Ultra beasts, Team Skull, Aether Foundation, Red and Blue, etc through leaks, as opposed to official announcements...sure stuff has still leaked quite a lot throughout these past 8 months but apart from what was uncovered from datamining we haven't learned too much new information about the game because of it...

In this day and age it's pretty damn near impossible to not have anything leaked especially for something as big as Pokemon, Game Freak and TPC probably realised this hence why so many new pokemon were revealed pre-release and why they revealed so much about the game beforehand, so that they could beat the leaks...

With that said I'm getting tired of blocking people's Youtube channels because of spoilers in their thumbnails...

 

[Opossum]

I can see it both ways, really.

Like, on one hand, yeah, if you're paying for the class she probably should've hired a sub to have folks learn.
And on the other one, it may have been kind of short notice, and sometimes folks need to vent,


It's a tough situation, really. For all involved.

 

[Deleted member]

Anyways, seeing as we're one week away from the official release, I think I should end my Y Nuzlocke, I wonder if I'll be able to
*just entered the mirrors cave*
I'll have plenty of time left it seems

 

[Swamp Sensei]

"It'll be fine though.

I have a feeling this was directed at me.

It will be fine and we will get through this.

I'm sorry I'm trying to look at this positively.

We should stop protesting and just accept it, right guys?

What are these protests going to do?

Stop him from becoming president? No.

Spread awareness? People already know he's an asshole.

That isn't the issue. Ensure the safety of minorities? Cause that's an awful way of doing it.

What is the cause Opo? What is their goal?

I can't see it. Venting I guess?

Moreover, Opo, I suppose I have small bias against the protestors because...

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...ortland-ore-turns-destructive-declared-a-riot

My home is being destroyed. People I know can't live their lives anymore. I've already heard horror stories and I'm only an hour away...

I know people are gonna jump on me for trivializing the struggles minorities are going through but I'm not.

There just has to be another way.

It's not like Trump is the antithesis of everything America should stand for!"

I mean, I agree with this.

I just think we have to accept the lot we were given with grace.

Or else things are only gonna get worse.

Don't misconstrue my statements. I will never support the man. I'm just doing what history has shown to be best in situations like this. Trying to prevent people from hysterics.



I'm just tired... I've tried to be the mediator on more than one occasion. In real life, online, everywhere.

I'm sick of Trumpers. I'm sick of anti-Trumpers...

I'm so jaded I just want it all to burn at this point.

And I hate feeling like that....

Not to bring anyone down, but Leonard Cohen died today. You know, the guy who sang this beauty:

[Erureido]

Didn't expect the reveal of Necrozma this soon, especially with the early mention that it is connected to Solgaleo and Lunala. Gotta say, it looks interesting. If this is the trio master of the Sun and Moon mascots, I wonder if it will continue the tradition of getting a new form later on (INB4 it gets a new form towards the end of the generation, but we won't be able to obtain it until the next generation just like what happened with Zygarde). If it does, I'm curious to see how this "true" form will look like. Will it be the scorpion like many are speculating, or is it something else?

UB "Origami" and UB "Bamboo" look pretty odd. I guess I like "Origami" more between the two, mainly for the origami motif going on.

------

Just want to jot down some thoughts on the Sun and Moon's story from the leaks so far.

Spoiler: S/M Story Spoilers

Remember this dialogue from the Sun and Moon demo?

Turns out Kahili is one of the Alola Elite Four, and she's a Flying-type Master. As expected, her clothing theme is golfing, and before fighting her, she says, "Who will the winds favor today? You... or me?"

I think a golfer being a Flying-type trainer makes sense. The golf ball flies through the air for a good distance depending on how hard you swing the club, not to mention the wind plays a big role in golf (it can affect the direction the ball is flying).

 

[Kurri ★]

I'd argue that while you may not be learning anything class related, you're still learning something about current events and that's still extremely valuable.
