Second trial update

Spoiler

Found a Fomantis, she showed up way earlier than I expected, thought I'd have to wait until Lush Jungle to be able to catch one. Good thing Fomantis shows up in Route 4 though, because I didn't have anytjing that resists Water besides Brionne

And then to the trial... it was kinda disappointing
The trial only really started on the Totem battle and before that was just going after the weak Wishiwashis(caught one of them at least)
But the battle against Totem Wishiwashi himself... oh boy, this was EVERYTHING I ever wanted in a Pokemon battle: School Wishiwashi has the stats of a boss, buffs you can't normally get, a Sitrus Berry for healing, rain and it can summon weaker Pokemon to help it
I LOVED this battle as it finally captured the feeling of a boss battle I wanted in Pokemon for a long time.
Fomantis barely scratched it with Razor Leaf and thanks to the rain she was losing half of her HP to a WATER GUN, thankfulky, Brionne's Sp.Def was high enough to tank Wishiwashi and burn it with the newly acquired Scald

Also, jfc, Oricorios are way too hard to catch
Also also, School Wishiwashi is hype

Team Update:
Brionne(Tomochi)
Pom Pom Oricorio(Ress)
Mudbray(Conquest)
Fomantis(Saber)
Crabrawler(Glass Joe)
Wishiwashi(Immorta)

I'll pretend I care about those shows

And I'll pretend you have good taste :^)

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

I should mention that I don't intend to profit off of a dream SSB cartoon as it would be an entirely fan project were it to happen. I can't see a official adaptation happening outside video games myself as such a thing would be highly expensive and likely beyond what Nintendo would be willing to spend. A SSB animation would only happen unofficially.

I do appreciate the honesty though. I've long resided to the reality that probably the closest I will ever get to it is if I make a SSB colored doujinshi (which is not hentai by the way, doujinshi is unofficial Japanese manga). But since an animation actually requires a team of dedicated people (whereas a doujinshi can be done by just one person), I figure that I would need to ask this at least once before I lay the dream to rest.

It looks like my dream story will be a comic book I work on until it is complete. Which I'm fine with, especially since it will take a long time to finish once I can start.

Just call it indie then, it's meaning is more well-known

 

[Tree Gelbman]

The more rumors about the Switch, the more excited I'm becoming. Nintendo really seems to have gotten it this time and are determined to come out of the gate swinging. Good for them.

Good for us too.

Dammit I can't get anymore Wimpod to show...

Do I have to wait a day for them to respawn or something?

Edit: Immediately after I say that another Wimpod shows...

I didn't mind but the hair options are kinda below average.

I think the big issue is that there's only one clothing style and no others

Like no Hoodie, no long pants, no normal sleeve sporty shirts and the shoe game sucks compared to X/Y

But I like that I can make my skin darker and due my hair green or gold

You give them a yummy drink *siiiiiip* or hug them :D
Wimpod's evo's shiny is honestly the bedt kind of shiny. Slight changes making it better
THEN THERE'S LITERALLY EVERY SNOT GREEN SHINY THAT'S UGLY AS SIN

Wait, there are only 4 boutiques? That's kinda disappointing, especially since one of them is the "ultra expensive boutique only for the postgame basically"
I hope they update with the female hairstyles soon because I want to ne able to see what they look like before having to pay for it

Hey ~ Valkyrie ~ I know you also happen to be a Sakura Wars fan.

How do you feel that it's the most wanted Sega revival in Japan?

...

*Winds back to few days when he looked through Sakura Wars-tag in Tumblr*

*Saw Sega putting up a survey for Sega revivals*

*Wanted to take part but saw that the survey was closed*

"Eh, not a big deal. Sweet victory for the franchise that wins. I guess it'll be Shenmue or something...*

* Goes back to do his usual things*

______________

First of all, goodness gracious. This series keeps kicking on with pure hot blood through the fan support, despite the series being now usurped by SEGA having Persona through Atlus and just not getting any representation in their crossover projects sans Project x Zone (which is made by MonoSoft's side dev teams + Namdai anyway IIRC.).

The most surprising good news of this? 20% of the votes were from outerseas overall - and Sakura Wars still taking the "victory", whether it was just a massive Japan-only majority or even a mix of the fans from both Japan and outerseas is quite noteworthy.

Being a fan of it, I'm quite happily surprised to see it so.

However, apparently the survey isn't really gonna be a big indication of anything, just to see what the fans are interested in from the devs (just for fun). Though the concrete thing given is that this might leave a viewpoint for SEGA to observe about what the fans are looking forward to.

I'm though quite wondering how they'd bring back Sakura Wars without having to entirely retool it as bringing it in original form would just make it too contesting at today's Fire Emblem that sells bucketloads more and is widely more popular, and as I mentioned above, SEGA has found more profitable alternative in ATLUS's persona. But again, fans wouldn't be very satisfied if Sakura Wars became an MegaMan-esque "retro zombie cashcow"-property.

 

[Aurane]

Is it me, or is hatching a lot quicker then previously? I've been breeding and Eggs seem to hatch very quickly.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I'm so happy I'm crying


BRING IT HERE SEGA

PLEASE BRING THE SERIES TO THE WEST AND REVIVE THE FRANCHISE

Quite impressed as well, really. Though I wonder how they'd exactly do it if they'd ever get to it. Can't kind of ignore possible competition. And marketing. ESPECIALLY marketing.

 

[Deleted member]

Just call it indie then, it's meaning is more well-known

I don't call it an indie because I associate that with official projects which a doujinshi is not. I call it a doujinshi since my dream story would use art style similar to that ultilized in Japanese comic books. But if we are going to use something else, a more easily identifiable term would be fancomic.

Oh you mean like it's already becoming? Except instead of "retro zombie cashcow" it's "sexually suggestive cashcow"

I'm ashamed of them for putting the girls into outfits like they did.

But let's be honest here. Considering the absolute obsession America has with Japanese culture, as long as they were willing to put in proper marketting for it, SEGA literally has millions to be made from bringing the franchise to the West. Sakura Wars HD Collection on the Switch? Guarantee it'd be a best seller. Anime is big here, and considering Sakura Wars' themes and success overseas in it's prime, they're not too late to bring it back with a true game and port to the west. The poll shows it, SEGA fans still love Sakura Wars.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

With Wikiwashi's low HP, I've noticed every single hit seems to damage him quite a bit, even with his massive Defenses.

But, he's absolutely devastating. Especially since I gave him Z-Water

Gladly enough that was just the "dork age" before Project x Zone kicked in. It's how many people outerseas found out about the series, including myself. Still, how noteworthy it is that the series' apparently had a fandom back in early 00s though after the anime/manga material made it outside of Japan - and testament to that had to be how one of the fans made actual english walkthroughs for first 4 games (though little linear due language barrier) that is still in GameFAQs.

Still, PxZ sorta pulled off the waves of potential revival and awareness to the series' original roots.

Possibly. Though after playing the old Sakura Wars-titles, I think they really need to update the system and other things because we kind of live in an age where the system employed by Sakura Wars has been picked up by some other series today and made better - which is why there'd be a lot of high standards coming from people who might try this series. Wouldn't like the series to get rated poorly by new possible fans or reviewers for feeling "outdated" or something similar, especially after coming from likes of newer games with similar elements.

I mostly feel that the series' might benefit more from keeping it's "nostalgic" 90s' anime feel throughout, working as a great aesthetic to the prime of it's time. Not only it'd make it less comparable to games that came after it using similar conventions (like Persona), but it'd also go well with the series' actual setting of the Taisho-era in Japan. That's kind of what I loved about the series.

Though this mean possibly that they'd best port Sakura Wars 1-4 along with some spinoff games. Sakura Wars 5 is rather more updated, so it might be less easy to corporate with other titles.

 

[Aurane]

Haven't updated my team in awhile.

Decidueye (48)
Lycanroc (49)
A-Raichu (48)
A-Persian (49)
Salandit (26)
*filler* (Paras)

Recently caught Salandit in a desperate need in Fire. Poison will be useful too. Not that it matters. I'm pretty sure I'm close to closing the story line.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Why are the punk trainer class just slightly modified team skull grunts?

That bugs me. Lazy trainer class

 

[Aetheri]

Might as well do a quick Team Update
Torracat-T'ai Fu
Lycanroc (day)-Skoll
Salandit-Lilith
Wimpod-Ictus
Trumbeak
Faticate

The latter two are just chillin for now...my big Rock type weakness made Olivia a bit of a challenge but handled it fairly well in the end...was actually neat to see the two Lycanroc forms face-off...

 

[Coricus]

Oh goddamn it.

Apparently there might version exclusive clothing and colors.

Nothing's 100% confirmed yet.

Why would they do this?

No wonder I can't find any blue clothes and the shops are half empty.

 

[Chrono.]

Unless there's some way to get them in the other version, it's a really bizarre design choice.

Poke Pelago lets you get clothing from other players, probably a way to promote that, works kinda like Splatoon iirc

Spoiler: Pokémon Sun

Oh hey Grimsley, what's up? Thanks for the Sharpedo ride, but what are you doing here away from Unova's E4?

Just finished the Ghost trial, Mimikyu wasn't as hard as Wishiwashi, but it summoning Gengar wasn't fun considering it was strong enough to take out my Incineroar between the two of them. Golisopod was pretty useful in the battle, particularly since Totem battles deactivate his passive ability and allow him to stay in as long as I needed. The rest of the team has also been coming along pretty nicely, I still am missing two members I want to add on, but Charjabug and Passimian have been filling in pretty nicely.

Also, Guzma's battle theme was pretty nice:

 

[Deleted member]

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.

Oh, I see. I'll wait to see if I'm gonna eat my words or not.

They ****ing better give me compensation for Xenoblade X. I didn't buy the collector's edition for nothing.
EDIT: ALSO FIX AT LEAST 10 OF THE FLAWS WITH XCX

 

[Wolfie557]

Personally I'm not fond of the idea of Pikmin 4 getting changed to a Pikmin reboot. Just, why. I don't think it needs one. It's niche anyway.

XCX really can benefit from more sales on the Switch. Not sure if they even made any money for the Wii U version. Even if they did, more people experiencing the XC franchise is always a great thing. Plus moar money.

And what exactly is The Silver Case?

Like when a starved person eats more food than they can handle, Ima throw up.

A++ launch year for those that didn't own a Wii U. Still very good for all 17 people who did.

And that list doesn't even have Retro's game on it. Or the supposed New IP out of Japan.

1) They won't. 2) They might.

1) They won't

I WANT TO BELIEVE DAMMIT

Just realized something about Pokemon Nemesis. It'd be back to the pattern BW started, since Black and White, mainseries games were annual up until ORAS

So here's a summary of clothing options.

Seems like a step backwards from XY.

I just checked, and there is no Ponytail option for the girl.
Oh well... I guess I'll give my character a different hairstyle.

From what I remember, and GF's a Japanese company, and Japan is strict on gender roles from what I hear (Hence a Dangan Ronpa 1 character) and which gender is stereotypically "ohmigawd cute shoes"?

Probably Muk, Sazazzle, or Marowak.(Especially since Sazazzle takes up both typings of the other.) But I'm wondering which will be the most useful up ahead, Marowak I might get rid of if there's no upcoming ghost time moves coming up.

The post points out that most shirts and hats are shared between male and female, which was my point.

Just seems kinda lazy imo, especially since they all seem to be just repainted shirts.

XY had jackets, suits and more.

Does Marowak have a Thick Club attached? If not, remove it. It's pretty useless without it.
If it does, than I guess you can remove Muk, Slowbro or Salazzle.

I'm getting a vibe that this isn't all of it.

It seems odd that they would take their combined workforce over two systems, one of which has been in a very severe drought for multiple years and the other having a moderate drought for as long, and then only release two games that weren't on other systems.

Granted, looking it up the Wii U's launch year was pretty dry, but. . .the idea of ports would strike me as intended to free up dev time for other games.

I'm going to guess that ports were used to show third parties the system so as to lessen the damage if it did get out, while anything not already discussed in interviews (I.E. Pikmin 4 and I'm pretty sure this 3D Mario as well since I remember something about a 3D Mario with a Japanese area and if this one has a Mexican area then it's probably the same one with a globe traveling theme) is kept under better wraps.

Going to throw a guess out there and say Animal Crossing and Wave Race, the former because Nintendo keeps being weird about it and the latter because of the copyright thing in Europe.

. . .Assuming the Animal Crossing game doesn't end up being a New Leaf port or something. :/

Nope, it doesn't unless I can get one from somewhere close by, thanks for the insight. I'll replace Marowak then.
