It unlocks Battle Styles. Basically you can mess with how your trainer aesthetically moves, say, when throwing a Pokeball, by talking to a guy near the trash dump above Malie. Fighting a few Trial Captains unlocks a couple.
Oh ok, I use a different battle style already but I didn't know how to unlock more

According to these...

The Nintendo Switch is easier to develop for than the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

It also says that Unreal Engine has different settings for docked and undocked levels.

What do you guys think?
And I can guarantee that even if the Nintendo Switch is the easiest to develop with, is the easiest to port to, has the best graphics, has access to all engines and has a built-in toaster oven altogether in one package and sells more than 20 million on the first day, that 3rd Parties will still find an excuse not to make or port games to it.

Well, it would explain why companies that previously wouldn't even look at Nintendo are taking the "let's give it a shot" route this time around, aside from the appeal of portable versions of games.

Just because Nintendo is making a system with low raw power doesn't mean there aren't other things that go into game development that Nintendo can polish up. There isn't just one way and only one way Nintendo can make things easier for third parties, and since people have been so insistent on wanting said third parties it wouldn't seem to be too much of a stretch that despite Nintendo wanting a more affordable system with better battery life they might go out of their way to make things easier in other regards.

At the very least, I can see indie selection benefiting very, very much from this since many indies don't need as much power but do need to be easy to port in order to be worth the effort.

Probably my favourite pokemon I thought up is Dubimoth. It's dark/fairy type, and it's based off a mix of the mothman and super sentai. It has good attack, special attack and speed and its abilities are Justified and Pure Power with Mega Launcher as its hidden ability. It's stat total is 450.

It's one of 2 of my pokemon I would hope would be in the competitive scene.

The other is Pitahyrant which is Fire/Dragon and based off a mix of a demon and a pitahaya. It's stat total is 470 and has high attack and defense. It's abilities are Infiltrator and Defiant.. I haven't thought of a hidden ability yet.

Good news if the Switch sells well. Sales=Games=Sales=Games....

If it sold well, developers would port Battlefield 1 to a potato run Game and Watch.

Mindy x Mandy? Easily one the ships I've ever seen out of that fandom.

Then again, all Billy & Mandy ships were terrible.

Oh dear. Should have had that extra comma if you really didn't want that creepy context.

But I've seen enough creepy myself (as if the Miandy piece weren't enough).

Speaking of pokemon ideas, here's the only one I've really had in mind.
Cryosickle(Not the final name, just had to come up with something really quick.)-Ice Raptor Pokemon
Type: Ice/Fighting
Ability: Steady feet, the pokemon will not take damage from missing jump kick or high jump kick.
BST
65
125
80
40
60
140

Move pool includes high jump kick, an ice version of high jump kick, and priority moves such as ice shard and mach punch. Also some boosting moves which work as a risk-reward.

Mario gives Link a second life, Samus gets unlimited power, and Mario gets a dangerous life form that sucks the energy out of whatever it sees.

But hey, Mario gets to have The Baby if he can't get the cake.

The perfect Christmas gift any 24 year old plumber would want.

So I'm playing through Freedom Planet on my Wii U.

It's really fun, but I'm kind of wondering if I can actually play Milla's story on it.

I haven't found on option for unlocking it. Online or off.

So, just when I think I have a strategy to catch Xurkitree

He has electric terrain too.

Damn, they don't want him to be caught

Metroid: Other Mario

Starring Mario as Samus and Bowser as Ridley.

But imagining a Little Turtle going through evolution would be weird.

Sadly, Milla's campaign (As well as a playable Torque) is locked to the PC version at the moment. You can only use her in classic mode on Wii U.

They've been REALLY slouching with the DLC for Freedom Planet. Even though there's been a promised DLC character nearly finished in the games cutting room floor since launch.

That's...

Really dumb.

Are they planning on getting them to the Wii U version at all?

I know they WANTED to, but there were complications one way or another. Hell, even Story Milla and Torque can only be accessed by switching the Steam version to recieve beta updates. They've been in 'beta' for months on end now, unless I'm mistaken and they're in the regular version now.

And considering the state of the Wii U right now... I don't think an update is gonna happen. I'd love to be wrong, though.

I love Strife and his team to death, and Freedom Planet was well worth the funding, but they bit off a bit more than they can chew with their bonus tiers it seems.

Ok, I have a plan

My mushroom dude with Spore, Leftovers, and Ingrain

Using 3 X S.Defense and XSpeed

Mushroom dude takes like no damage no matter what Xurkitree throws at him. When Electric Terrain disappears, Mushroom dude spore's him.

I 1 shot Xurkitree so, just throw balls until he's captured

Liked the part where he says the side characters looks like Microsoft Paint drawings.

Might as well say Kirby Dreamland 3's style was drawn by a four year old while he's at it.
