Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Aetheri]

T'was I! Ditto's the only way to breed Minior, and I want someone to trade me a Minior egg when I get Moon this Wednesday

Well lucky for you Minior are found on the same route...

Ah thanks for that, I really wanted a ditto. how rare are they?

Not sure it was my first encounter on that route...so far haven't found another...

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Why have a game that's just battles when you can have a full on Pokemon game?
If they wanted to add minigames, just have something in the menu to drop you into Minigames

1: It'd be more focused for a different audience in the Pokemon fanbase, though it's admittedly a more niche part of the fandom
2: Battle Revolution looks pretty ****ing good, look it up if you have to, and imagine that with all available forms and mons in a higher quality
3: Easier to make, no real need for writers, no need to make a ****ton of towns with NPCs, sidequests, etc.
4: Stadium's minigames were honestly very unique and I don't see a mainseries game giving you an opportunity for that kind of style

Post-third trial update

Spoiler

Gladion is such an edgelord lol

"This battle format has been passed down on Alola for generations!"

****ing wild Salandits with Dragon Rage spamming bull****

And Kiawe's trial was easy hut it was very funny with the Hiker, though the sudden Salazzle was kinda creepy
Too bad all I needed was a single Bulldoze and she fell in one turn lol

What first party Wii U games aren't being ported to Switch, Nintendo (co-)owned installments of third party franchises included?

Animal Crossing amiibo Fesitival
Bayonetta 2
Captain Toad
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Dr. Luigi
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
Hyrule Warriors
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD & Twilight Princess HD
LEGO City Undercover
Mario Party 10
Mario Tennis Ultra Smash
NES Remix Pack
New Super Mario Bros. U
Nintendo Land
Paper Mario Color Splash
Pikmin 3
Pokemon Rumble U
Pokken
Star Fox Zero
Super Mario 3D World
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
The Wonderful 101
Yoshi's Woolly World

To be honest, I would not want a Maiden of the Black Water port. The game is alright, but I would rather see new idea or stories introduced to the franchise. Also, go back to how scary the games used to be with the previous four titles and no fanservice (Just don't want the girls to suddenly fight ghosts in bunny girl costumes or the ghosts to be taken less serious).

Though seeing a port of Nintendo Land and Tokyo mirage Sessions #FE would be interesting.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I really hope that Pikmin Reboot isn't true.


I also hope that there aren't THAT many ports on the Switch...

PBR was pretty cool, to bad it didn't go well

Plus its music, so good

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Am I seeing this right? You don't need a held item for Z-Moves, but rather 'register' the mons with the Crystals? If this isn't singleplayer exclusive it's ****ing broken

 

[Aurane]

Yeah so I'm pretty pissy right now. I was enjoying Pokémon Sun when suddenly I realized there was nearly a foot of snow on the deck.

A little ****ing early, aren't we Jacky?

I don't think I have to tell anyone why I'm so hyped

The "registering" counts as a held item but it won't take out the Z-Crytal from the bag, meaning you can assign multiple Pokemon the same Z-Crystal

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

How do you register then anyway?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

They count as a held item

You just can give them to however many pokemon you want

You can't have it and an item

I bought moon, lol. I have both now

 

[praline]

Trumbeak evolved to Toucannon(the most normal bird looking pokemon ever) and Steenee evolved into Tsareena!

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

And IF we are really getting a Super Mario Maker port for the Switch, I hope they handle the event costumes much better.

Don't want to suddenly see Spongebob and Happy the Godawful McDonald's Mascot running around in the Mushroom Kingdom.

And please no Rabbids either (which will happen since that RPG is possibly real).

 

[Aurane]

How do you register then anyway?

The same way you assign a hold item to a Pokémon. Go to the Crystal section and "Use" it on a Compatible Pokémon, and it will equip the Crystal. You can assign multiple Pokémon the same Crystal.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

How do you register then anyway?

Go to the item and tap compatible mons

The "registering" counts as a held item but it won't take out the Z-Crytal from the bag, meaning you can assign multiple Pokemon the same Z-Crystal

So it takes up the item slot? That's a fair, albeit odd choice. Just giving the crystal seems more efficient

Well, now that Pokemon can finally be on home consoles, there's not much stopping them from having the visuals of Battle Revolution, if anything it could be even better since it's more powerful hardware.

As for being easier to make, it doesn't mean worth it to make.

It's not like there's anything stopping them from making unique mini-games aside from, they don't want to, especially now that they have the power for that.

Having a game that was just battles made sense because you lost the whole social element of Pokemon, but now that the Switch is capable of being played on the go, a game that's just battles would just feel very gimped. I could understand something along the lines of Coliseum or XD, but anything else just wouldn't work.

PBR didnt go well because it wasnt well..Stadium

 

[Capybara Gaming]

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.

Ah, Project X Zone 2 - the game that introduced me to my beloved waifu Gemini Sunrise. Sakura Wars V is my favorite of the games.

How did you play them?

If they made a new stadium game with all the 802 pokemon I'd be ****ing down.

Especially if the campy announcer returned too.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

When a pokemon calls for help 3 times an no one comes to its aid, I cant help but say " Here I'll catch you, you need better friends"

Dammit Kurri don't cuck me with my dreams! Also

it doesn't mean worth it to make.

The fact that there's an audience for it, a stupidly popular franchise, this is just wrong, especially as it's not even an argument, but a 'nou'. Want a Dark Souls trilogy collection? Doesn't mean it's worth it to make. Want a nice dinner made by the finest chefs? Doesn't mean it's worth it to make, etc.

There's nothing stopping them, it's just why?

You have to look at what Pokemon is and why certain decisions were made. A major aspect of Pokemon is the social interaction, needing to go around trading pokemon with actual people. Home consoles were not capable of doing that, so instead of needing to go around catching Pokemon, you just battle. They expanded on that a bit with the Gamecube installments, by adding an actual world and story, but you were severely limited with the amount of Pokemon you could catch. The console games were only ever battles/focused on story because of the inability to interact with others the same way handhelds did. Now that the Switch capable of providing a handheld experience they're going to want to take advantage of it.

[Wario Bros.]

I'm considering if I should buy the Batman Telltale Series collection for its $16.74 Black Friday deal that ends in ~21 hours.

The thing is I won't play it until [-A]- I start and finish Batman: Arkham Knight (I know they're two totally different Batman games but still) & [-B-] I think it would be best I'd start when all episodes are out (this'll be my first Telltale game, FYI).

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Stadium without minigames.

Thats probably why no one liked it

That and not having rental Pokemon like Stadium, I think, and can only use your D/P games

I'm sorry ;w;

A Dark Souls trilogy collection isn't really comparable though. The work is already done for the most part, just need to remaster a few things and port it over, bam done.
Although, thinking about it, I do recall hearing that the models in SuMo are already of a really high quality and are just downscaled for 3DS, maybe the work is already done for that too. Maybe.

 

[Aurane]

The protagonist in SuMo is such a ****ing emotionless drone.

I know I've ******* about this before but... Jesus, man.

It had rental Pokemon too, as well as trainer customization.

Honestly Stadium is the perfect example of a bad game getting praise because of nostalgia goggles.

That game does not hold up well at all.

My friend sent me when it happened on her game so nope, it's very real.

(Un)fortunately.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

AM2R and Pokemon Uranium were on the 'best fanmade game' list of the VGA
Notice how I said 'were'
Nintendo wasn't happy I guess

 

[Kurri ★]

Come to think of it, I only ever hear people praise Stadium for it's mini-games.

After that it's just Pokemon battles but in 3D, which is cool, especially for the time, but that's it.

At least PBR looked really nice, and had customization. That said, I think I'd prefer a cel-shaded art style for 3D Pokemon. It just works really well.

Uranium is a hot mess so I guess AM2R is the only real loss there.

Cue "**** Nintendo" posts.

 

[Aurane]

I disagree. Lillie wasn't brain dead at all. If you beaten the game you would of know that.

Spoiler: Story Spoilers

Lillie was a timid little girl who was in the pursuit of dangerous characters. Yes, her senses are kind of ****ed up but that's because she's in a ****ed up point of mind. Later in the game, she gains the means to break out of her timidness and becomes more proactive then before.

So its Survivor Series tonight.I gotta know whose winning tonight.Raw or Smackdown?My money is Raw goes all the way

Tag Match to Smackdown, Women's to Raw, Men's could go either way but I'll give it to Raw just because Undertaker is a factor now.

I think the Cruiserweights are going to Smackdown, and the IC title stays (Raw doesn't need 2 midcard titles). Brock will destroy Goldberg.
