One I get tho that medow, I'll try to find some. You just want one, right? Should I pick any old pokemon to attach it to?

Just one, and yeah, you need to attach it to someone but who doean't really matters and I can simply give you the Pokemon back after I take out the nectar

Meanwhile on Censorship Gaming, people are planning on boycotting Nintendo just because of a NES Classic Edition interview being censored over drinking references.

And to believe I used to be on their side. This is far too funny.

It just suddenly super dropped yesterday in temperature. We suddenly have snow. I mean, it's latest November, so the snow is normal, but the temperature drop felt unrealistic.

Similar thing happened to me in Australia, except our temp. shot up past 30 degrees celsius >_>

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I got Togedemaru

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm fighting a golem and I like his animation

He'd definitely supposed to be a rail gun

 

[Aurane]

SOS Chaining is the biggest ****ing pain in SuMo. The "Can't Catch Cause Aim" rule is heavily flawed due to the odds of summoning- especially under Ad.Orb.

How do you expect me to capture the Pokémon if you're gonna keep summoning per turn? Don't get me wrong- the frequent summoning can be a good thing, but the rule of catching when one is out makes it a completely unessasary hassle. That could of easily been remedied by either removing the rule (which, when Ditto is considered, I would prefer) or add a once every other turn, the Pokémon will summon.

I hope this is patched. I know that's asking for a lot in GF's case but this is just annoying.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Wait, I just found out Lusamine is over 40 years old
What the ****

Hey 40 is the new 30. Am I right?

 

[Kurri ★]

Hey 40 is the new 30. Am I right?

More like the new 18. Christ, all this time i thought she was another kid who just happened to be part of a huge organization

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Hey 40 is the new 30. Am I right?

And 30 is the new 18.

Just ask Future Trunks in Dragon Ball Super

How does the song goes again? "Stacey's mom got it going on."

As does Lillie's.

And thus the "Nintendo is doomed" Saga continues. But will there be any end to this crusade against censorship?

Hmm... what does Brave nature effect?

Attack up, speed down?

 

[Erureido]

Hmm... what does Brave nature effect?

Attack up, speed down?

Yep, Brave nature raises Attack but lowers Speed.

 

[Burruni]

Hmm... what does Brave nature effect?

Attack up, speed down?

Yes.
Best for bulky assaulters; Conkedurr being the face for it.

 

[praline]

Yep, Brave nature raises Attack but lowers Speed.

Then I have the second best nature for my Tsareena!!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Aaaay yoo Im getting lucky with my pokemon today

They have to obey your command, it's not so much "Getting Lucky" as it is control over them

 

[Jaedrik]

Not that type of--gosh dang it.
This thread.

Well I just caught an absol and shes getting on my party asap

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

For some bizarre reason Magnemite and his evos are the pokemon I use the most of any generation for capturing other pokemon

That's the main reason it's still on my team. Paralyze and steel resisting most types

 

[Erureido]

Just noticed no one made a post about this, because turns out today is a big day in the Nintendo world!

On this day, November 21, 2001, Super Smash Bros Melee was released in Japan*. This game is one that brings a lot of nostalgia for many. It was one of the most defining games on the Gamecube, and it gave us a memorable cast of characters. In fact, many of the Smash all-stars we all know and love today were first introduced in Melee: Ganondorf, Zelda, Mewtwo, Falco, Roy, Bowser, Peach, Dr. Mario, Ice Climbers, Marth, Roy, and Mr. Game and Watch in particular (there's Pichu and Young Link, but they haven't returned in any subsequent Smash titles since). There were even memorable stages such as Poke Floats, Temple, Onett, Pokemon Stadium, Rainbow Cruise, Fountain of Dreams, Jungle Japes, Big Blue, etc.

Melee introduced us to a really fun Adventure mode, and these were also the first games to emphasize trophies. It even brought us some memorable challenges: the event mode was fun yet hard, and we also had the introduction of recurring Smash bosses such as Crazy Hand and Giga Bowser. Smash Bros Melee also went on to become, arguably, the most popular Smash game for the competitive scene. To play well in high-level tournaments required tricks such as Wavedashing and L-Cancelling. Melee was so popular among competitive Smashers that had the honor of becoming the first Smash game to appear in EVO.

And let's not forget that amazing cinematic opening!

Happy 15th birthday to Super Smash Bros Melee!

*Technically, today would be a day late in Japan, but I'm still going to treat it like today is the main celebration since it's the 21st elsewhere.

But it isn't just Melee's birthday; today also marks a special day for another certain game in that same series.

On November 21, 2014, Super Smash Bros for WiiU finally made its debut with its release in North America. This was a game many of us remember really well because of how recent it was. The anticipation for this game was both exciting yet painful. We all followed Sakurai's Miiverse posts of the day to find out new information, as well as enthusiastically watch those Directs to see those reveal trailers for certain newcomers. The hype was real! Cut to the day the game finally came out in North America and we were in for a treat. While we already knew the cast prior to release thanks to Smash 3DS coming out a month and a half earlier, we were introduced to some exciting new features such as Master and Crazy Orders, a different-style Classic Mode, and of course, 8-Player Smash. Finally, we could play Smash Bros together in one large group compared to the past when we were restricted to just four players.

And that's not the end of it. We also got some pretty fun stages like the Great Cave Offensive, Kalos Pokemon League, Skyloft, Gamer, Coliseum, Wii Fit Studio, Wrecking Crew, Wuhu Island, Wily Castle, Duck Hunt, and Pyrosphere. These games also gave us stage bosses in the forms of Ridley, Yellow Devil, and Metal Face. These games also struck the perfect balance between casual and competitive play, removing the unnecessary tripping and floaty speeds of Brawl. These changes not only reinforced the casual gamers, but it also brought back the competitive scene to Smash. While arguably not as popular and iconic as Melee's competitive scene, Smash 4 did go on to have major appearances in EVO tournaments (with record-breaking attendances there as well). At the rate this is going, Smash 4 could potentially surpass Melee's competitive scene, but we'll see how that will look like in a few years.

Smash 4 WiiU also had a pretty cool opening, one that reminds me of the nostalgic days of the hype and anticipation for its release whenever I watch/listen to it.

Happy 2nd birthday to Super Smash Bros for WiiU!

NOTE: I know Smash 4 technically celebrated its second anniversary with Smash 3DS's release roughly one and a half months ago, but I figured I'd make this celebratory post for Smash WiiU since it happens to be the more popular and discussed Smash title between the two these days.

Been searching for over an hour to find a Jangmo-o for my Pokedex.
Its suppose to have a 5% chance but feels more like 1%.
Maybe I should just trade for one on the GTS, even though most are level 1.

 

[Deleted member]

How fitting that

Spoiler: Non story related Sun/Moon spoilers

I just got 50% of the Zygarde cells in an area which sort of resembles his area in X/Y where you catch him, even with the two side paths, this being in resolution cave where you catch UB Gluttony.

So, my step dad got me a NES Classic. He wouldn't tell me for how much but as I was playing it I had an thought. The NES Classic sold out immediately. Imagine if there turns out to be a Game Boy Classic... There'll be hell to pay for that.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Game Boy Classic

Dont give Nintendo ideas

That'd actually be pretty awesome

There is a lot of gameboy games I'm really nostalgic over

Hopefully they'd add the GBC filters

YES I FOUND IT!!!!

Spoiler: SuMo related

Isn't he just so frikkin adorable?! I like how they made him a photo-op for the Poke-Finder as well....but once again obtaining the psuedo at such a high level kinda ruins the fun of using it in game, but I'm not sure how this game will play out compared to the others...Vast Poni Canyon feels kinda like a Victory Road in a way though I feel like the game's story still has much more to offer at this point...I really hope I don't have to wait too much longer before I can obtain a Vulpix...

Edit: I also need to mention it's a good thing I got a Mimikyu since it's calls frikking Kommo-o's :O

I also have to say Lillie's quickly becoming one of my favourite characters in the game...

YES I FOUND IT!!!!

Spoiler: Not SuMo related

After months of searching I finally got my hands on the Samus amiibo!!!! Such a nice amiibo (though she kinda seems a bit off center but I guess beggars can't be choosers)

also picked up a just cause it's a really cool amiibo

 

[praline]

More like the new 18. Christ, all this time i thought she was another kid who just happened to be part of a huge organization

She's probably so youthful looking from taking her childrens blood or something.

Playing around with A-Marowak. Decided to attempt a Flame Charge build. And its surprisingly effective. I'll post a refreshed version of what I'm going for.

Flame Charge Sweeper
Marowak@Thick Bone
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Lightningrod/Rock Head
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Sp. Defense
Moveset: Shadow Bone, Flame Charge, Earthquake, Fire Punch/Flare Blitz

Okay so this is pretty straight forward. Thick Bone gives A-Marowak massive Attack power while Flame Charge gives it improved Speed. Shadow Bone is a gift of the gods for A-Marowak- hitting hard while lowering Defense. Earthquake is for coverage, and finally, Flare Blitz/fire Punch is for a more powerful Fire STAB. Flare Blitz/Rock Head is an awesome combo in which removes the worry of recoil. Fire Punch/Lightningrod is another option for a more defensive playstyle- becoming immune to Electric attacks, including Thunder Wave, while maintaining a decent Fire attack. You could go for Flare Blitz instead but the recoil can be life threatening. It loves hazard assistance.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Man, this Hau kid sure is always happy.

You can probably light him on fire and you'll still see his goofy grin.

If Vulpix appears at the same place Sandshrew does then it's in the patch of grass to the left of Tapu Village.

 

[Radical Bones]

I just fought Guzma for the first time and was so pumped to see his team.

Unfortunately for him the first Pokemon in my party was an awful type for him to face.

Made him look like a real *****.

Also I just caught a Komala. This thing will go on a rampage in lower tiers.

Huh...So it is...

And here I thought I had to wait until I get to Mt. Lanakila...welp better late than, later...

A tip:

Those who hate SOS battle, if you want to catch something, put it on a status condition. They don't call in backup if under one.

...well that works. I'll try this later. Thanks.

But be careful because they could call in a pokemon you might want to capture as well

 

[PLATINUM7]

I just Quick Ball everything.
Haven't had any Pokemon call allies in a while. Though that's either because of said Quick Balls or I'm just grinding to evolve Pokemon for the Dex.
Once I evolve this Hakamo-o, I just need to do the Litten line and get a Solgaleo, then I'll have obtained all Gen VII Pokemon (excluding event Pokemon).

EDIT: Forgot I also need to evolve Type: Null. And as I type this a wild Petilil called for help.

 

[praline]

If only my Tsareena were Adamant she'd be perfect.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Here's a cool video showing off as many of Sega's franchises as possible.

It's pretty awesome, but I can't find Super Monkey Ball or Billy Hatcher.

They're there in the thumbnail, but I don't know where in the video.

EDIT: Very first thing you see. Couldn't see the forest through the trees.
