As much as I'd hate to jump in on this Fire Emblem circle-jerk, I'd like to present my new TV show idea.

"Who lives in a Pinap-berry under the sea?"

Too bad I can't evolve my underleveled pile of eggs until I'm done with Poni Island's last trial.

No Leaf Stone yet.

I'm not too into FE myself, but I found the "My Unit" and marriage stuff less appealing than simply being given a cast of characters. Though I can see why others like it.

The having kids thing works for the sake of "video game eugenics". Gotta have the strongest kids to fight with.



Did it bother you with the Pokemon games or Mega Man Battle Network?
Pokemon and BN were the same game in all fronts.

Fates had a different map design, story, characters, weapons, classes and music pretty much locked in separate games.

Unless Battle Network 3 White had a different plot than Blue then I'll agree but it didn't and both games were the same with minor differences.

Fly back to Olivia's shop.

Then can you encounter what my circle call the Shin Poke-mon no kami, Alolan Exeggutor.

The closest pokemon we have to a sponge is technically Tentacool or Frillish
Yes, but who plays Patchy the Pirate?

Random question for the Pokemon anime watchers... What do you think of Lillie's portrayal in the anime as opposed to the games?

I am really not a fan of how the anime is handling her, but that's mostly because Lillie in the games is probably my favorite character to come out of a mainline Pokemon game period. I really don't like the whole 'Pokephobe' trope, nor do I like some details that the preview of the next episode seem to entail. But I figured I'd see what some of you think.
I'm not the biggest fan of Lillie's Pokephobia either, but I have hope that the anime will explore the reason for that later on.

Personally, I have a headcannon right now that Lillie's Pokephobia had something to do with Lusamine's treatment toward her: either she abused Lillie using Pokemon, or more likely, she used Pokemon to intimidate her. Lillie's butler eventually became so disgusted with Lusamine's action toward her daughter that he took Lillie away and escaped.

The butler looks like a jolly good fellow based on the previews, but there could be more to him that meets the eye that might be revealed later on.

Right, but I wasn't sure if you disliked not getting certain Pokemon and teams with R/S, or Boss fights/transformations in Battle Network's case.

Though having two similar games with different levels when you could have one gigantic game would be irksome.

I beat Color Splash today.

Pretty tough final boss. I had to do a lot of prep before fighting it, as I was low on cards and coins. I liked the ending.

It was pretty good for a Paper Mario game. I hope we can get another but with more classic play styles like the older games. The story aspects combined with partners and the old battle system could lead to a great .

I'd love to see the people behind the game make a new game in the style of the originals. It could be pretty good imo.

Now to play through Xenoblade Chronicles X and my Wii U backlist will be complete.

There are 3 birthdays today, which is pretty cool
The Simpsons! Although the show has gone on for so long that it should at the very least have had a hiatus some time, it's still had charming episodes and predicted irl stuff
Mega Man! The run and gun game that everybody knows and loves, be it classic, X, Battle Network, Zero, Starforce, Legends and ZX

And most importantly...

MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So they're finally showing Dragon Quest XI.
You can go through that Tweet's replies for other gifs and the like.

Big takeaways:
- PS4 and 3DS almost totally different
- 3DS seems to be more classic?
- PS4 is open world
- No Switch version announced as of yet

Somewhat late reply but whatever, I got animes to discuss
@Zoroarking Caught up to the penultimate episode of Bungo Stray Dogs.

I like how Francis was given a kind of sympathetic reason for his actions, even if the reveal came kind of out of nowhere. Also interesting to see Atsushi and Akutagawa team up against the main villain. Francis really sums up how they're not so different from one another (notice me, Dazai-san) and that does seem to kick some kind of character development for them.

Of course, speaking of Dazai, his philosophical ramblings on the meaning of life are perhaps ironic considering his many suicide attempts, but I like how his talk with Kyouka brings the flashback arc from earlier in the season to a full circle by drawing parallels between her and Odasaku. My guess is that she will fight alongside Atsushi and Akutagawa against Francis for the climatic finale and all that.

And it's really great to see Atsushi finally gaining control over his ability with his new weretiger transformation. Now to see him and Akutagawa finish Francis once and for all.

Also funny is how Francis shares the same voice actor as Cloud Strife and that Zelda appears as a Aerith reference in Cloud's Smash trailer, considering Francis's wife is named Zelda (which is, of course, a reference to Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of writer Francis Fitzgerald)...

Anyway, I'll be off now.
I didn't feel like it came out of nowhere. After all, he needed some reason to want to wipe out the city(and that's actually more explored in the 10 current chapters that the anime didn't adapt). He's still a jerk, I mean, yeah, he's doing it for his family but he's willing to kill THOUSANDS of people for it... BUT at the same time he's doing it for his family and he even sacrifices all of his wealth for it, and seeing him, the embodiment of capitalism, do that really hits you.

Dazai's rambling about living are more of an echo of Odasaku's words than his own. He really did seel death during his mafia days and Oda's last words are probably the only reason that he's still alive. The reason he keeps living and trying to save people ia not for his own sake but rather because not doing those things would be an offense to Oda's wish.
Though I still find ot funny that this happens:
"Dazai, protect the orphans"
"Got you fam"
*leaves Akutagawa*


On the VA thing, man, am I bad on reconising them, I realized Rohan shared his VA with Reigen from Mob Psycho 100 early on but I only noticed it was also Cloud's VA when it was pointed out to me. And now as I play Fitzgerald's voice in my head I realise it's the same one...
I want a "I refuse" video edit with Francis now

And finally, go watch the last episode because there's so much stuff I want to discuss about it and it's a really great season ending.
Also, I recommend reading the manga after it because as it's now at 47.5 chapters, with 37 being adapted, another season will take some time.
The only thing I'm gonna say about it is: I love how BSD doesn't forget its characters, in other animes, all the Guild members would have been taken out of action by the time their arc ends and never seen again but the manga ties most of them into the plot of the next arc.

Just randomly found this in X.

Though catching it did mess up my EV training a little bit.

Ah well. The 2 EVs in Special Defense won't hurt my team that much.

Why couldn't Xenoverse 2 look like this?

When they say Open world, does that include real-time combat?

for anyone who cares about Dragon ball Super.The next arc is gonna be intense. Goku gonna be the cause of trillions of peoples death all because he wanted to fight in other universes lol
Wait, so, I take it the losers of the tournaments get their universes destroyed?

Guess I should have seen that coming.

edit: Yup, definitely seems like it. Gotta admit, never was a fan of the whole, "ultra-****ing-OP beings having little to no care for the lives of others and having no one to keep them in check" thing

Hard to believe trash was born so close to christmas
Well, guess you need to balance things in life somehow.
I'm gonna go throw a whole cake in the trash can to celebrate this anniversary because I know you'd eat all of it anyways, it'll be as if you were right by my side :p

Now without covering myself in 10 layers of sarcasm to hide the fact that you're a really cool but I'm too insecure to admit it:
Happy birthday

W-why are you complaining about quality?
But man, it's sad that there's only one episode left, I hope they confirm Part 5 adaptation soon so I don't have to worry about it

Other than the not so surprising news of Boruto coming next April, the second season of Boku no Hero Academia will debut the same month.

Hope you are ready for more Delaware Smash @Zoroarking.
