And time to add a 6 iv female cutiefly to the the list of 6 iv females I got while trying to get a male 6 iv lol but I still at least I can turn it into a competitively viable Ribombee since I controlled the nature and passed down Moonblast from clefairy though it still didn't get sweet veil

So top 10 list? I don't think I can list them all out know where to place them..

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

We're back to the Top Favourites again? I just went back through the search and found the 'Seven-favourite games' fad we jumped on back in August. I guess it's probably not a bad idea for a refresh in that list.

So as of this list, I'd say that (some of) my favourites would be:
1: Metroid Prime
2: Zelda - Ocarina of Time
3: Xenoblade Chronicles
4: The Wonderful 101
5: Fire Emblem Awakening
6: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
7: Final Fantasy VII
8: Overwatch
9: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations
10: Pokémon Sun/Moon
11: Super Smash Bros
12: Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
13: Bayonetta
14: Ratchet and Clank (2016)
15: Super Mario Maker

Honestly I think Shield Dust is better on Ribombee anyway. Fake Out flinch immunity, Scald burn immunity, Bulldoze and Icy Wind speed drop immunity...all things that have saved mine in the past.

What about character designs? What are some of your favorites or least favorites?

It's an obvious answer for me, but one of my absolute favorite character designs is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. Both classic and modern.

Spoiler

Sonic has a design that immediately jumps out to you. It's an example of a design that's simple, yet also a bit complex. He doesn't need sports tape or a scarf to show his personality, just a playful smirk and a cocky look in his eyes.

I've been trying to get into character design myself, and I've even created a few OC's (I haven't showed them yet, but they exist). Sonic's design was a major inspiration to me in that regard.

In terms of least favorite, I'd say something that's way too overly detailed. Something like this comes to mind.

Spoiler

If you removed some of the extra junk, I'd think it would look decent.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Please remember to put large images in spoiler, thanks.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I think I just downloaded the whole FFXV ost

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Please remember to put large images in spoiler, thanks.

Sometimes images look a little smaller when you put them in.

Regardless, will do.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

I'll give some of the games I love the most.

Viewtiful Joe
Shadow of the Colossus
Metal Gear Solid 3
Devil May Cry 3
Ico
Wind Waker
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Old Door
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
Red Dead Redemption
Fighting games in general

I think I'm going to start a Ghost mono-type run on Moon version...There's a lot of really cool ghost types in this game both new and old, and having a ghost type starter and legendary makes the options that much more broad...
I usually go for a dragon mono-type run (which I might do in the future), and I think once I did a dark type run (which I might do for Sun and Moon in the future also) on Y version, but this will be my first Ghost monotype...

My personal rules for monotypes...

Spoiler

-Primary, Secondary, or Pure typing must have the chosen type
-If the Pokemon can evolve into the chosen type they are still eligible for use (ex. Rowlet, Female Snorunt, Cubone)
-If the Pokemon has alternate forms, I must only use the form that matches my chosen typing (ex. Sensu Oricorio, Silvally w Ghost Memory)
-If the Pokemon loses it's typing as it evolves, I can no longer use the pokemon after it has evolved (I don't think any Pokemon loses Ghost typing after evolving but not like I'll use them anyway)
-I can of course still use any pokemon until I obtain my first eligible pokemon for the monotype (since Rowlet evolves into a Ghost type I can only use Rowlet until I obtain another Ghost type)
-HM slaves are allowed (just not in this game)

So based off of the Regional Dex my eligible options are...
Decidueye
Gengar
Drifblim
Mismagius
Sableye
Palossand
Alolan Marowak
Trevanant
Froslass
Mimikyu
Dhelmise
Lunala

Post-game only (which means I likely won't use either of them)
Sensu Oricorio
Silvally with Ghost Memory

But sweet veil will come in handy in doubles lol. I was going to get both of them since I can, and because it'll save time trying to make another one.. though I'll need to get a male raichu if I want to try some speed swap shenanigans for the lols

LOL, I don't actually follow that rule. I don't have a problem using Drapion on a Bug team

 

[Robert of Normandy]

is it too late for me to jump on the "top 10 games" bandwagon?

In no particular order:
-Symphony of the Night
-Super Metroid
-Ys Origin
-Cave Story
-Civilization III
-Kirby Super Star Ultra
-Muramasa: The Demon Blade
-Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
-Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
-Trails in the Sky FC

List is probably subject to change based on whatever but I tried to go with games that I've played a lot rather than just whatever happens to strike my fancy. I went with Civ III over 4 or 5 because that's the one I grew up playing.

I think I remember seeing that second image once before in a character design discussion. Someone called the sword a pizza cutter and I so can't unsee it that I have no idea whether or not they were actually serious about it being one.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

-Muramasa: The Demon Blade

YOU TOO?
Omg I love you. Thats my fav game ever. My first username was had Obomurama in it because I loved it so much

 

[Depressed Gengar]

OK, Tomodachi Life has gone to an extreme I never imagined it would go to. Thinking Guzma and Chie would make an amazing couple was one thing. So was a teenage girl getting mistaken for Squidward. But the game expects me to believe that Sakura, a shy as hell princess, is devoted to the devil.
...
I swear, this game can easily reach a new level of stupidity, yet it's always amazingly funny.

Trevenant was forgotten lol though whenever I get sun I'll probably do a Fairy mono type because of reasons

 

[praline]

Since I posted my new Pokemon here's the list of regional forms!

Spoiler: All o' dem

1. Butterfree: Bug/Psychic
2. Tentacool: Electric/Poison
3. Tentacruel: Electric/Poison
4. Cacnea: Water
5. Cacturne: Water/Ghost
6. Beedrill: Bug/Fighting
7. Ponyta: Poison
8. Rapidash: Poison/Ghost

16. Lucario: Ice/Fighting
17. Parasect: Bug/Ghost
18. Ledian: Bug/Fighting
19. Sandile: Ice/Dark
20. Krokorok: Ice/Dark
21. Krookodile: Ice/Dark

 

[Aetheri]

Gengar

Dhelmise

Mimikyu instead of one of those though

-If the Pokemon loses it's typing as it evolves, I can no longer use the pokemon after it has evolved (I don't think any Pokemon loses Ghost typing after evolving but not like I'll use them anyway)

LOL, I don't actually follow that rule. I don't have a problem using Drapion on a Bug team

It's one way I try to limit the options if a fully evolved pokemon doesn't have the same type then I really shouldn't use it...it's also a good way to balance out being able to use pre-evolutions without the type even though they will get it eventually...

Mimikyu is most likely 100% going to be on my team since it's the best counter against Dark types...aka Nanu...

I'm probably going to have a bit of everything by the end of the game though...

Trevenant was forgotten lol though whenever I get sun I'll probably do a Fairy mono type because of reasons

Missed those while going over the regional dex...wasn't really planning on using them anyways, mainly because of there being other Ghost/Grass types I'm more interested in using....

 

[FalKoopa]

I don't know how people can make top 10 lists of anything. One moment one thing is in my list, the next moment there's another.

I simply listed the games I've played the most.

That is a fairly good metric.

 

[Deleted member]

Just watched Rogue One. Thoughts

Spoiler

I really liked it, the characters were likeable and thry finally decided to put in some gray morality in a Star Wars movie.

They tie it on nicely with IV and retcon the Death Star's only flaw into a plot device that I believe was handled really well as it, well, explains why it even exists in the first place.

We all knew it was coming but it was actually pretty sad to see the entire main cast be killed off. K2 is best Star Wars droid btw.

The final scene, that happens moments before IV's first scene, was tense, even if we know they'll succeed. Vader slaughtering those rebels with no effort is a good reminder of how terrifying he is.

CG Tarkin was bad though, just put a similar actor in there, no one will mind it.
Main new villain, who I don't remember the name, was bland and I didn't care about him
Cassian is just unlikeable.

Spoiler-free version: it's really good and manages to make a cohesive explanation to the events previous to Episode IV without leaving plotholes or stupid retcons. Go watch it.

Top 10 thingy(in no specific order besides the first):
1-Chrono Trigger
-Super Metroid
-The Wonderful 101
-Pokemon Sun & Moon
-Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Fafnir Knight
-Final Fantasy VI
-Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
-Super Mario World
-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
-Portal 2

What about character designs? What are some of your favorites or least favorites?

My favorite character designs definitely go to Bungou Stray Dogs, overall.
I really like the 20s-esque clothing
My favorites from it are definitely Q and Akutagawa

Other mentions go to Star Wars's General Grievous, Fire Emblem's Joshua and Steven Universe's Lapis

Does marowak lose the fire typing or the ground typing? Lol it's a bit hard to tell

 

[praline]

I guess I might go for a dark mono run on Sun.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm going to do one more run where I use pokemon I haven't used yet

And then I'm going to do a mono bug run

 

[praline]

Does marowak lose the fire typing or the ground typing? Lol it's a bit hard to tell

It loses the ground typing and becomes the Alolan Marowak.

 

[Deleted member]

*patiently waiting for Pokebank to update to reset my Moon file*
Why do you make us suffer, GF? I just want to do my damn Nuzlockes

 

[praline]

Well goodnight people see yah tomorrow

 

[Burruni]

YOU TOO?
Omg I love you. Thats my fav game ever. My first username was had Obomurama in it because I loved it so much

Rebirth is better.
Especially the fun of the DLCs.

 

[Kurri ★]

I simply listed the games I've played the most.

That is a fairly good metric.

Not for me. I'd say Mirrors Edge is one of my favorite games, yet I only have 7 hours of gameplay on it. Garry's Mod on the other hand has 64 hours, and I really don't care much for that game outside of the rare times my friends want to play it.

A "top X" list for me would merely be a list of games I enjoyed that I can think of off the top of my head. Which I think is a horrible metric; I'd sooner think of Black Ops III, but I don't think I'd put it over Bad Company 2. Meh, I'll try anyways

Kurri's list of games that she enjoys in no particular order:
Overwatch
Final Fantasy XV
Dragonball Xenoverse 2
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Guilty Gear Xrd
Jet Set Radio Future
SSX 3/SSX 2012
Mirrors Edge
Battlefield Franchise
Halo Franchise
Sonic Generations
Super Smash Bros Franchise
Treyarch Call of Duty titles
Forza Franchise
Dota 2
Bethesda Games
and much much more!

edit: Oh yeah!
Little Big Planet
Modnation Racers
Pokemon D/P/P
etc.

 

[Ura]

I'll get to these two tomorrow. I need to get some shut eye.

Fo Sho.

Also my Top 10 Games. Sorry this image looks like crap. Paint is an itch to work with.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Necrozma is now the only pokemon I don't have in the dex

Although there is a couple I've only seen and haven't got. - All just evolved forms of pokemon I do have though

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Well goodnight people see yah tomorrow

Night niight buddy, you sleep well

Rebirth is better.
Especially the fun of the DLCs.

Sadly, I dont have a vita
If it did Id play nonstop
and the whole games soundtrack, oh yes
Its hard for me to pick just one song from that game I like

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Rebirth is better.
Especially the fun of the DLCs.

I have both that and the Wii one. Not touched the DLC yet, though.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Anyone know if non alolan sandshrew can be uploaded to the GTS or does it block them like shiny UB's?

 

[Deleted member]

Anyone know if non alolan sandshrew can be uploaded to the GTS or does it block them like shiny UB's?

In theory, probably because it'll be avaible with Poke Bank
But it's not avaible yet so I dunno

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In theory, probably because it'll be avaible with Poke Bank
But it's not avaible yet so I dunno

Someone could hack it, but GTS actively blocks some pokemon

It doesn't seem to block ALL unavailable things though. So, I wasn't sure.

I haven't seen one so I think that is enough proof. A hacker would surely have put one up by now

I want to tag team Sandslash's

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Fo Sho.

Also my Top 10 Games. Sorry this image looks like crap. Paint is an itch to work with.

For some reason...i expected more AW

 

[Pazzo.]

Found a neat video on Star Fox Zero.

I really like the conclusion to the video. Good game, poor controls. Unfortunately, I also see the hit and miss nature of the Wii U gamepad.

What are some of your favorite uses of the gamepad? I liked Pikmin 3's map/stylus controls. The ability to throw Pikmin with the precision of a touch pad was fun.

Another example that comes to mind is Monster Hunter. Having two screens clears up a lot of clutter. And while I'd really like a MH game on the Switch, I'll miss the Wii U's HD + HUD management.

 

[Ura]

For some reason...i expected more AW

Well, I just didn't want to fill up the list with AW games. Not only that but making a Top 10 list for games is a very hard thing to do.

But AW2 stands above the rest because it has what I feel is the best Campaign and it's gameplay is my favorite. Has more options than the first AW game but isn't completely nuts like Dual Strike.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I almost forgot christmas is coming up
