Haven't given my thoughts on the rumoured Pokemon Stars yet...

Then again, I haven't really looked into what these rumours say other than it being a Pokemon game on the Switch...Likely a third version to Sun and Moon, though assuming the rumours are true, Stars is just a codename for the game correct? like how Rainbow was a codename for Sun and Moon?

Having a main series title on the Switch, it just makes sense, if Nintendo is truly merging their home and handheld markets together then TPC and Game Freak kind of have no choice but to do so if they really want to continue making Pokemon games...Having a high graphical quality Pokemon game that still offers portability and the same interactability would make for a pretty big seller for the Switch...

A lot of the in game models are rendered in HD quality possibly because of the possiblilty of an HD Pokemon game...

Short update on Pokemon Sun.

Looks like Kiawe's Trial was the easiest one for me as of now.

Azura reached level 26 after defeating the Alola Marowak, and when it faced the Totem Salazzle, all it took was one Hydro Vortex and the Salazzle went down in one blow. It didn't even get the chance to summon on an ally. Pretty easy...

Although I will give Totem Salazzle credit for having this moment.



The best photobomb!

I also forget to mention that when you beat that one Sightseer on your way up the volcano, this is her lose quote.



"Did I lose to a trial-goer? Quick, make a selfie and upload it to Instagram with #LosttoTrialGoer !"

Now it's just Mallow's Trial and Olivia's battle and its off to Ula Ula Island!

Almost all Alola native pokémon are hard to find lol.
It took me lots of encounters to find a Grubbin and a Fomantis.

Lana's trial made me kek.
I knocked out the helper of Totem Wishiwashi (who was another Wishiwashi) without giving a ****.
>T. Wishiwashi calls Alomomola and my attempts to keep the Totem asleep go to the toilet due Healer.
I destroy Alomomola and get my Grimer out to pull evasion hax with minimize.
>T. Wishiwashi manages to Soak him, and now Grimer is getting damaged by his own Black Sludge.
Man, I love this AI.
Grimer struggled because he lost his STABs but still caused bad poisoning with Poison Fang.
Wishiwashi got worn down due the poison and I overkilled it with my Charjabug.

Someday I'll catch a Red Gyarados in Alola just to shove it on your face, Lana

Aaaayyy, I caught Lunala.
Gotta say, while the game wasn't super easy at the start, it eventually started feeling like a repeat of Gen VI.

I did some looking at the stats and there's a few WHAAAA?!s abound comparing Wishi-Washi and Magikarp/Gyarados.

Magikarp has a base stat total of 200 (33.333333.... average)
Wishi-Washi's base form, only 175 total (just over 29 average) making it the newest weakest Pokemon, finally givign surken a "at least I'm not"

Wishi-Washi's schooling form... just 20 shy of MEGA Gyarados.

wow

Well just as the game got easy, it got hard again. Come on, almost completed the main game.

EDIT: The RNG is really against me.

I feel so left out. It must be nice to have time to play story based games. Too much work. :(

I'm stuck on Multiplayer games for this reason lately.

Who knows when or if I'll get to play Sun/Moon.

Just saw Fantastic Beasts in a fairly packed cinema
It was fairly good with some really cool moments.

The Lestrange family get name dropped, Johnny Depp plays Grindelwald who spends most of his time as Colin Farrell.
The beasts themselves were pretty cool, the thunderbird in particular was great.

WB's "new" actually good cash cow/10

Lol ProJared got an Adamant Popplio in his Nuzlocke
Doesn't matter much since he got sweeped before the first trial

Moon update
Brionne(Tomochi)
Pom Pom Oricorio(Ress)
Mudbray(Conquest)
Trumbeak(Nero)
Crabrawler(Glass Joe)
Egg from Nursery

Got a Stamina Mudbray, it wasn't easy but my first catch was Sassy natured so that boosts her decent Sp.Def in trade for her ****ty Spe
Now she can sweep Hau's entire team lol

I really like the Stoutland Pokeride, he's faater than Tauros and finds hidden items

First encounter with GlaDIOn, pfft, Zubat.
Oh **** Type: Null is actually pretty strong, even with Brionne's two levels advantage.
I love how he keeps ****talking Hau but Hau is just "yeah, battling sure is fun". I hope other characters call on Hau not taking battles seriously so he can develop later or am I asking too much for a Pokemon game?

"Here is the Lapras Pokeride so you can complete my tria--"

Sun update:
Team:
Coo the Dartrix
Pancakes the Pikachu
Mr. Krabs the Crabrawler
Spot the Lycanroc
Vastra the Salandit
Greg the Wimpod
Today I completed Kiawe's and Mallow's trials.
Kiawe's trial was pathetically easy, Spot almost OHKO'd the Totem Salazzle but he didn't have any trouble finishing it off.
It didn't take me very long to find a female Salandit, and I named it Vastra after a certain lesbian Lizard alien from Doctor Who. It's Jolly but whatever.
Totem Lurantis was actually pretty hard, as it wasn't OHKO'D by Inferno Overdrive and constantly used Synthesis, I did eventually beat it though
I later caught a Wimpod which completes my team. It's Adamant which is ****ing sweet.
I also met Colress, it's really cool that he's in the game.
I got through Digglet's Tunnel and I'm about to challenge Olivia, but I won't do it right now as I simply can't.

Oh goddamn it.

Apparently there might version exclusive clothing and colors.

Nothing's 100% confirmed yet.

Just beat Olivia
That Nosepass was a ****ing nightmare and I hate it so much
It went like this:
*It used Thunder wave*
*I use a paralyze heal*
*Spark paralyzes me AGAIN*
It happened multiple times.
Her other Pokemon weren't as bad because I maxed out Mr. Krabs' attack and they went down pretty easily. Lycanroc specifically was a breeze and that just goes to show that Midnight Lycanroc's bulk is useless
Did I ever mention how much I despise Midnight Lycanroc?

From people saying that they can't dye their clothes red in Moon and blue in Sun.

Heard from Joe Serebii at first though (who himself isn't sure about it).
>can't dye clothes in red in Moon
No, please be fake
What the hell was GF thinking?
If this applies to the lipstick I will scream

ALSO I JUST REALIZED ROHAN'S VOICE ACTOR DOES :4cloud:
He also does Reigen in Mob Psycho 100 and Abe no Seimei in Drifters

Holy ****.
According to Laura Kate Dale, the Nintendo Switch is getting the TellTale Guardians of the Galaxy game near launch.




Now I'm incredibly hyped.

And the game itself is supposed to be weekly releases in the build up to the film according to her as well.
Batman's been an improvement in regards to scheduling with one every month.
But that is even better.
Now I just hope they make their engine better.

I'm never gonna play as the girl in this game.
Didn't they mention they haven't unlocked the ponytail and twintail hair options? And I know there are unlockable hairstyles since there are 6 hairstyles for the boy and I can only do 5 at the moment.

Hello there.

I want to ask if it is feasible to get a team together to make a Super Smash Bros. animation/cartoon/anime sometimes in the future with a cohesive plot (like most popular animes but of course without fillers). I'd liked to make a thread for this question, but I don't know where to put it. This is because I want to get into depth about it so I can see if it is a goal I can commit to. Before anyone gets overly excited, I am not announcing that I am working on a SSB story at this moment as I am holding off until I become financially independent. It will be a long time until I ask for help on this project, if ever.

I hate to say it. I really, really do, but you're probably better off not trying. It's hellish to get the rights to all those different characters, especially as Nintendo's been VERY strict since th Mario movie (not letting Archie make Mario comics, not having a Metroid movie made by the Alien team iirc) and more, knowing these companies, especially Squeenix, they'd get copyright claims on you like nothing else unless you seek permission, which would likely be denied
