Okay mini rant time.

Spoiler

I'm getting spam phone number calls from Colorado, I answered the first couple of times they happened but I got no answer. One time they left a voicemail and it turns out they're a debt collector? I don't have a bank account nor a credit card of any sort, so obviously this seemed fishy to me.

Google searching the number led me to find out they're a scam and many people have been getting calls from them. I block the number, but now I keep getting calls from different numbers, all from Colorado.

I'm not sure what to do anymore.

Like this is getting to borderline harassment, and it's multiple calls a day.

Dang this seems really rough. It's a bit drastic, but have you considered changing your phone number? Again it's a pretty heavy decision, but it maybe the best solution.

If I am correct, you can report to authorities. Or go off on them and they might leave you alone.

 

[Aurane]

Well. They got W.D. Gaster, they got Gaster... But not Dr. Gaster.

Works for me.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

zi didn't say Midnight Lycanroc is bad (Although I do think that) but Midday is objectively better in battle

Night pretty much kicked my ass at the e4 so I guess I was just unlucky. It would stop at 1 HP then slam my decidueye with Crunch

one was from a car place lol

GameXpaline made a quick news update on Pokémon Sun & Moon record breaking sales.

They later ask will the rumored Stars on Switch will follow the same success? I have two questions on that:

1) How well will the Switch sell?
2) How well did Colosseum & XD: Gale of Darkness (the closest we ever got to core games on a home console so far) sell wayback when?

I actually got those phone calls.

I hated them too
Although I stopped getting then when I got a new phone

 

[Schnee117]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

That's actually pretty big if it's really true.
Chris Pratt would definitely be up for it considering he voices Owen Grady (His JW character) in LEGO Dimensions.
Hope they get Chris Evans, RDJ, Rudd, Spader and Cumberbatch for their characters in particular.


Also they've released a bag that looks like Lillie's.
The Amazon reviews are as expected.

I'm considering this, I've never done any of the sort so I'm wary over possible costs.

For now though I'll just keep ignoring them.

What time is the game awards again (it's tonight, right)?

 

[Aurane]

Midnight Lycanroc is a sad case of GameFreak not caring to do the math. They gave it improved bulk at the cost of Speed, however despite its new bulk, Lycanroc is still very frail. Here's a comparison of both Midday and Midnight Lycanroc forms.

Midday Base Stats - 75 HP / 115 Atk / 65 Def / 55 SAtk / 65 SDef / 112 Spe

Midnight Base Stats - 85 HP / 115 Atk / 75 Def / 55 SAtk / 75 SDef / 82 Spe

What they basically did was simplistically took 30 points out of its Speed and spread it evenly across the defensive board. The problem with this is that Lycanroc was already frail to begin with, and such a small boost means literally nothing. Whereas a 30 point drop in Speed means a lot in the meta of fast Pokémon.

Midnight also lacks Accelrock, which it could of used well enough, and is replaced by, laughably, Counter. Outside of Sash builds, Counter is basically useless. It is likely to get hit by special attacks anyways.

What Midnight does have over Midday is its Hidden Ability No Guard, which makes Stone Edge hit 100% of the time. Combined with a 115 base Attack plus STAB equals an incredibly hard-hitting attack. But that being said, it still has to be able to attack, and unless you're running Sash, you probably won't.

How can we fix this? Simple enough: if GameFreak is implying they want Midnight to be a slow yet bulky fighter- make it actually bulky. Add an additional 20+ to both defense stats. Then, replace Vital Spirit with Intimidate. Finally, improve its movepool (which hopefully Stars will do). This would make Midnight Lycanroc a Landorus-T like Pokémon- throwing down Intimidates in order to bulk Physical attackers while throwing down powerful attacks of its own.

As for the movepool change- I'm also counting Midday form in that buff. They both have shoddy movepools. In Midday's case though, that's all it really needs. Access to Sand Rush, 115 base Attack and 112 base Speed, STAB priority and Swords Dance makes Midday a very effective sweeper. Honestly, if it just got Earthquake, we'd be good.

That's just my two cents however.

 

[Champ Gold]

What time is the game awards again (it's tonight, right)?

5:30 PST

Which means it's gonna be at 7:30

 

[Strofirko]

What time is the game awards again (it's tonight, right)?

It is tonight,and we will have amazing battles,like an indie game duking out with 3 shooters and an uncharted game, FE fates losing to a mobile game and sund and moon getting replaced by GO,a DLC winning the RPG award and kicking Xenoblade X to oblivion,3 uncharted characters in the acting list,Furi nowhere to be seen,and much more.

Yes, as you said it was originally thought to be locked but it was found to not be. Here's a video:

Spoiler: post game and story spoilers

It makes sense to not lock it to, as it's said there was 2 other Null made. So it would make enough sense that one could be shiny, like the Red genesect in BW.

I wonder though, where'd the 3rd one go. It be pretty cool if Lillie had taken it with her to Kanto instead of a traditional starter. Then she'd follow in her brother's footsteps.

Spoiler

I was really disappointed she didn't use Nihelago. She had an open slot for pete's sake. I also hoped they would have expanded it out a bit, and brought the UBS more into the story. The postgame story for them could have been integrated into the main one imo.

As for the Elite 4, I think you'll enjoy them. The champion is probably my favorite so far.

Spoiler

Some are speculating the third Null is a Chekov's Gun for when they need to give away another one in the future, either in a sequel or in the next gen

I see no reason as to why Stars wouldn't have Type: Null be obtainable. I'll be sad if it doesn't. I'm not happy with my Silvally presently.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The Sun and Moon anime is honestly kind of funny.

Newest episode had a scene where a Slowpoke was fishing for a Shellder...

Only to pull up a Sharpedo...

They then starred at each other for the rest of the episode.

Spoiler

They don't need an excuse if Stars is the typical third version, so it would just be the second Null again
They would need an in-universe reason from where another one would come from and the third Null is just that

Then again, this is the same GF that considers all non-forced catches non-canon(unless you want me to believe another Musketeer trio showed up in two years and Plasma stole the Player's Kyurem)

I think Rng made the ai smart and is said "You see ghost, you use crunch and persuit and Payback"

That could work. I feel that they don't need a valid excuse though. IT could be "oh we managed to recreate this beast, here you have it!"

I found the better parts to be when Ash decides to jump at the Milotic that Lillie reeled in as it splashes around. (Also that symbolism) and he then gets tackled and sent flying.

Or when Ash frees the ride pokemon and realizes they are about to be plunged into very sharp rocks and is like "oh ****".

Yes, that's exactly what happened. How else did their levels change?

 

[Opossum]

I just hope that when they say MCU focused they don't mean MCU exclusive.

I realize Fox characters are basically out at this point, but there are some non-Fox characters from the comics that haven't yet appeared in the MCU that are high on my wishlist. Kamala Khan being one of them.

Not sure how that'd effect people like Captain Marvel either, since she's slated to appear but likely won't by the time the game is out.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I need to start watching the sun and moon anime more

 

[Wolfie557]

Unless I'm wrong then the Game Awards are at 1:30 AM UK time.

**** that.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Watch as Monster Hunter loses that best mobile game spot.
I wont be dissapointed if it loses, Ill be more shocked if it won

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

With X-Men stuff possibly not being in MvC4. Do you guys think they would at least add Deadpool?

From what I understand, the higher ups at Marvel Studios and some of the MCU actors did really like the Deadpool movie.

When exactly are we expecting the game to be out? 2017? I dunno about that. I kinda figured 2018 would be the earliest despite the rumors.

Speaking of the X-Men and mutants in general. I don't see them getting shafted. Wolverine appears in multiple Marvel produced games and such although the X-Men movies are still owned by Fox. I don't think the Marvel games people will really care about adding the X-Men and Marvel neither considering that those characters could entice more characters to pick up the game. Imagine if someone went to see Logan and wanted to play a game with Wolverine in it. Marvel vs. Capcom 4 would be a perfect one to play. And if you look at the terrible, terrible Marvel Contest of Champions, Wolverine and even Deadpool are represented heavily. That's a pretty recent game too. Rumors are running crazy and people are jumping to conclusions that they're true already.

On a side note there are even more rumors about Fox talking with Marvel to bring the X-Men into the MCU. Apparently, they're no longer confident in the franchise with the recent departure of Hugh Jackman and the behind-the-scenes drama of Deadpool 2. They want to reboot the X-Men franchise with Marvel and have Deadpool continue on as it is. Which is cool since Deadpool can make fun of the studios and stuff for the team up. I can definitely imagine Deadpool calling Fox sellouts in Deadpool 2. This might also lead to Marvel having complete ownership over Fantastic 4. Pretty exciting stuff. But still a rumor.

I wouldn't take that considering that same leak said that they would get their movie actors to voice their characters

Evans, RDJ and Hemsworth alone are way to expensive for Capcom unless Disney is fully funding it

Even then, the MCU bias just means:

• Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon and Dr. Strange possibly won't get cut
• Newcomers might be Black Panther, Black Widow and Loki
• Spidey might actually get his villains in the game
• Since there are rumors of it being 2v2 with assist then the rest of the Avengers like Vision, Scarlet Witch and Falcon are assist fighters
• War Machine might actually return in some fasion

I forgot that Lunala exists and I need it for the dex.

Can anyone trade me it and then I'll trade back?

I just need the dex, I prefer my sun lion more.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Man, the more I search about speedrunner, the more I find problem within the community.
Like, when did everything begin to fall down? Speedrunner were like a family that helped each other to get the best time possible. Now, while there is still some good speedrun here and there. All I see is salt and problem left and right.
It make me really sad, since I really like watching speedrun's video of people explaining the run or just showing their god-like skill on Youtube while having a good time. And now, few people seem to enjoy doing speedrun...

 

[Champ Gold]

Also if MvC 4 is legit AND it's a 2017 game then Injustice 2 is ****ed in the long term.


Because the last thing DC and WB needs is Marvel and Disney beating them to the punch in the Video Game division this time

There were three Type: Nulls that were created...as you can learn in Secret Labs A...Gladion has one, he gives you another...
There's still one more in Aether Paradise...so I can easily see it being made available in Stars...

I just noticed it's beginning of December right now. Man, time does really fly. I'm not gonna lie, this has been a rough year for both the world and my family personally. But I got to move on ahead after all. There is a whole future ahead to live.

People saying saying the Game Awards are today? While I can't say I'm going to watch it, I'm definitely going to watch some of the hype trailers afterwards. Capcom Cup and PSX is this weekend, so it will be time to see if dreams do come true with this whole MvC 4 business.

Lastly, what games/whatever are you people looking forward to for 2017? My list includes LoZ:BotW, Nier Automata, Persona 5, and Tekken 7. This month has The Last Guardian as well, something I've been waiting on for a long time too. If anyone else is a big dumb fighting game nerd like me, the 15th Cooperation Cup (Japan's premier 3rd Strike tournament) is happening in January. It will be a guaranteed good watch for anyone who cares.

Edit: Forgot about Red Dead Redemption 2 in there. Include that.

I'm not gonna watch any of the anime episodes until

Spoiler: don't kill me

they come out in english.

That would also at least make some sense. And sure, sounds good! I'll add your fc.

BotW, Yooka-Laylee, and the Crash remasters (the latter of which I wouldn't be surprised to see at PSX) are among the games I'm looking forward to. One of these days I might give Persona a shot as well.

EDIT: And how did I forget Sonic Mania?

You mean the games that aren't named Sonic Mania? Sure.

FF7 remake, Persona 5, Dragon Quest 8, Tekken 7, Injustice 2 and Read Dead Redemption 2


Now games that are Sonic Mania?

I'm a 2D Classic fanboy. Sue me, I just finally got my dream game that isn't a new F-Zero
