That's how they're going to end the "season"?

Out of all the leaked match-ups, having Wade make pony-kebabs is worthy of hype to follow Goku and Superman duking it out and revisiting the 90s Pokémon/Digimon War?
It's not going to be as short of a fight as you make it out to be. Read the one on deviantart, that shows pretty well that even though it doesn't live up to the hype, it will be anything but a short fight.

I got a Buzzwole from the GTS in exchange for a Pheromosa
Holy **** this thing looks so cool, it's always posing and the way he punches stuff
*sees nature*
>Modest
Well, nobody is perfect I guess
Why would someone capture a modest Buzzwole?

Why

Why is this a thing

Poor Pinkie...
Because it was a common request and battle fans of both sides asked for.

If fact, there are lots of Pinkie and Deadpool fanart, like this one for example.

Isn't modest good on Buzzwole?

It boosts attack and lowers special attack. It's a physical attacker.

Or am I wrong with how the status screen works and the red stat is the boost, while blue is the decrease.

Opposite.

Red is the boost, blue decreases.

If this many people actually bought the game, we might have had actual holiday releases for the Wii U this year and last year. And Sonic Boom likely never would have happened. :p

I feel like pulling up a list of video games that have actually sold equal or higher to this viewcount just for the heck of it. Admittedly it's from Wikipedia, but hey, this is for fun.

Tetris
Minecraft
Wii Sports
Grand Theft Auto 5
Super Mario Bros
Mario Kart Wii
Tetris (Gameboy)

That's where anything 35 million or higher cuts off. And three of those were pack ins.

The highest selling Sonic game on the list I pulled up was the original at 15 million copies, and I'm pretty sure that was also a pack in at one point.

If Sonic Lost World had sold equivalent to this viewcount, Sonic would be all over every news station. It would be a cultural phenomenon to an unprecedented degree. Even Pokemon at the height of Pokemon fever never sold as much as that in a single release by a wide margin. He would have singlehandedly nearly tripled the Wii U's sales at that kind of amount, and I think possibly even sold more copies than the number of Wii U and Gamecube systems combined.

As it stands, this is still an absurdly high YouTube view count to the point of being significantly higher than pretty much any video game system announcement trailer not outright set as an ad and I'm pleasantly surprised this many people even still care about Sonic considering he's essentially the internet's punching bag at this point.

In gen 3, before they had extensive guides online, I caught hundreds of the same pokemon so I could get one of each nature and record the results after leveling them to 100.

I didn't know about IV's back then but my results were fairly accurate.

That's why I became familiar with natures.

They didn't have this fancy red and blue text in gen 3

When I saw the natures in gen 3 when I was a kid, I just used them for my imagination on how the Pokemon would act. I never really thought anything about it besides that.

Two things:

1) It was just a joke, I know any game selling this much is actually a huge deal.

2) The fact that it's THIS game's "cutscene movie" that got this many views, out of all of the Sonic games, is what baffles me more than anything. Like, what about Lost World compels people to want to see it's cutscenes?

With all these rumours going around for MvC4, there is certainly some uncertainty as to where they'll be taking the roster. It'd be an odd decision to leave out the X-Men, since a lot of them have exceptional popularity; and they've become a key part to the Marvel line up in MvC. Hopefully we'll get some of the essentials like Wolverine, but who knows...

It's maybe a weird phenomenon like that random Cars 2 gameplay having a lot of views due to parents thinking it was the full movie.

Actually now that I think about it, as much as I don't like Lost World from a story/writing perspective.

Eggman actually had some of his best quotes in that game.

"I'll get fat from eating your black hearts, you Eggman wannabes!"

I still stand by Lost World had the blueprints for a pretty good story.

It just wasn't executed well, save for a couple lines.

I'm kind of tired of returning combatants in DB. I also dislike the idea of the next fight.

But I am glad to see another MLP character, even if she is my least favorite of the Mane Six.

There's 50 new moves in my pokemon game.

Yes a lot of them are just copies of old moves with new typings.

Like Crabslammer is just a Steel type version of Crabhammer, the signature move of Miteh Kingler.

Same holds true for Colours and Generations. Pontac and Graff just weren't the best people to write for Sonic games.
I actually enjoyed Color's plot and writing for the most part.

Generations was an excuse plot.

Lost World was just bad.....

But yeah, I wouldn't mind it if we kept those two around for some of their humor, but could we get at least one more writer in there for plot?

What saddened me was that apparently they hadn't even done basic wiki/cutscene research on the characters they were writing.

Not knowing as much about the characters as the people who brought them through the decades is understandable. Not knowing as much as what I managed to find and memorize before I even had a basic grasp of internet culture or video games is. . .off.

Hopefully someone who does more extensive research will pick up the series soon, but knowing how any and every adapted media seems to Flanderize Sonic to some extent or another if they pulled someone from there instead I'd probably still be pretty skeptical.

umm...holy ****...

Was looking at some information on some of the new pokemon randomly and Cosmeom, Cosmog's evolved form, is only 4 inches and weighs more than 2,200 lbs....it actually weighs more than Primal Groudon....

And Lillie's prancing around with this thing in her backpack like it's nothing....(I know it kinda floats so I guess that helps but still)

i imagine the floating is the reason she can carry it at all.
