Welp. If this is true...

Here's a weird thing: no Miiverse stage in Smash Bros. Switch thus far. How curious.

— Liam (@liamrobertson.bsky) (@Doctor_Cupcakes) December 23, 2016

R.I.P Miiverse.

Honestly not surprised. The idea was good in theory and poor in execution. Hopefully a more streamlined Internet and interactivity option is present.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I didn't realize Sheer Force allowed Life Orb without recoil until recently'

I also didn't realize how good Magic Guard was until recently. I seriously need to consider using Reuniclus more. He is one of my favorite pokemon after all

 

[Deleted member]

Unless you want a special attacking Fire-Type

Even then, Emboar is outclassed by Chandelure.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I dumped my starter in gen 5

I'm not saying the game doesn't offer other pokemon that are better

 

[praline]

The last Generations episoe was boring, and the voice acting was average.

 

[Knight Dude]

Gen 3 had the best starters. Blaziken >>> Sceptile >> Swampert. All of them are great though.

But Gen 1: Charizard = Blastoise > Venasaur. I like all of them, but Grass types are usually lamer in comparison. Mega Zard X is strong as ****, and I like it.

Gen 2: Totodile > Cyndaquil >>> Chikorita. I wish Cyndaquil's line was stronger.

Gen 4: Infernape >> Empoleon >> Torterra. Again, mostly great.

Gen 5: Emboar > Serp > Samurott. Okay, like the designs, but they need better moves.

Gen 6: Greninja >>>> Delphox > Chesnaught. Okay, mostly for the typing.

Gen 7: Litten > Rowlet > Popplio. Pretty good overall.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Is "all starters are good in their own way" A good responce to this "Best starters" Thing?

 

[FalKoopa]

You know how you often mentally assign a voice to a character only to have it cruelly broken when you actually hear them?

That's how I'm feeling now.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Gens 1,3 and 4 I liked all the starters, but I didn't actually like Sceptile that much until Mega Sceptile. Their mega forms gave them lots personality

Gen 5 I didn't like any of them

Gen 2 I liked Typhlosion and Feraligatr, in that order

Gen 6 I liked Greninja, and to a lesser extent Chesnaught

Gen 7 I really only like Decidueye

 

[Aurane]

Even then, Emboar is outclassed by Chandelure.

They're ALL outclassed by other options in game. Samurott has multiple arguments though.

 

[Burruni]

>Basculin
>Jellicent
Pretty sure that's it, in BW
And I loved the coverage of mixed set Megahorn/Retaliate/Surf/Blizzard

I liked using Jellicent because of its typing and ability. Shadow Ball and Scald was a great pair with Recover and Sludge Bomb.

In B2W2, I always replaced my starter with Riolu, so I don't really an opinion there.

 

[Deleted member]

In Gen 1 I like Venusaur and Blastoise.
In Gen 2 I like Typhlosion and Feraligatr.
In Gen 3 and 7 I like all the starters.
In Gen 4 I like Infernape and Torterra. I have mixed feelings about Empoleon though.
In Gen 5 I only like Samurott.
In Gen 6 I like Greninja and I have mixed feelings about Chesnaught.

 

[Ura]

Y'know if this guy has knowledge about Smash Switch stages I don't see why he wouldn't know about which characters are in the game.

 

[Knight Dude]

Which guy? And what stages were mentioned?

 

[A Distant Demon]

I feel like this is AT LEAST the third time we've done "favorite starters per gen" >_>

Which guy? And what stages were mentioned?

Liam Robertson mentioned no miiverse stage in smash switch

 

[praline]

I guess I'll post my starters for each gen

1. Blastoise
2. Feraligatr
3. Sceptile
4. Empoleon
5. Samurott
6. Greninja
7. Primarina

 

[IceBreakerXY]

All i want is fourside back.It's a underrated stage that's really fun,and it could work for 8 player smash

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Time to make some new topic?

 

[Aurane]

My Favorite Starters (again -_-):

Gen 1: Charizard > Pikachu > Venusaur > Blastoise
Gen 2: Typhlosion > Feraligatr > Meganium
Gen 3: Sceptile > Swampert > Blaziken
Gen 4: Empoleon = Infernape =Torterra
Gen 5: Serperior > Samurott > Emboar
Gen 6: Delphox > Greninja > Chesnaught

My name is Ura and I approve this message.

 

[praline]

Is there a pokemon that in starts like as a physical attacker as an example then becomes a special attacker upon evolution?

If not this would be a first in my game.

 

[Deleted member]

The Miiverse stage had some nice fan art and not much else going for it aside from being tourney legal (as far as I know). Some users even went far enough to post messages completely unrelated to the characters, like last year's Star Wars VII spoilers.

The only one I can remember on top of my head is Slowpoke.

 

[Ura]

Most posts on the Miiverse stage were mostly along the lines of "(insert **** joke) and "Bush did 9/11" so i'm fine with the stage getting the ace.

 

[praline]

Oh yeah right I forgot about slowking.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

My favorite starters:

Kanto: Charizard > Venusaur = Blastoise
Johto: Feraligatr > Typhlosion > Meganium
Hoenn: Sceptile > Swampert > Blaziken
Sinnoh: Torterra > Infernape > Empoleon
Unova: Emboar = Serperior > Samurott
Kalos: Chesnaught > Greninja > Delphox
Alola: Decidueye > Incineroar > Primarina

Torterra is my favorite starter overall.

 

[Deleted member]

Liam Robertson mentioned no miiverse stage in smash switch

Was that the guy that said Smash Switch would be a "director's cut" of Smash 4 with content from both 3DS and Wii U plus two characters, or was that the guy that said Cloud and Bayonetta amiibo were being held off until Smash Switch's release, or neither?

R.I.P Miiverse.

This would make me upset.

That's my favorite stage for how bad, but funny the posts are.

That's what made Miiverse great. If they get rid of it, I hope we get an alternative that is just as entertaining.

 

[Wario Bros.]

If there's no Miiverse stage, at least move the stage's music to other stages.

 

[Erureido]

Favorite starters per region? Here's mine:

Kanto: Venasaur = Charizard = Blastoise (Not a fan of any of the Kanto starters)
Johto: Feraligatr = Typhlosion > Meganium (Not too much of a fan of the Johto starters)
Hoenn: Swampert >>> Blaziken > Sceptile
Sinnoh: Empoleon > Infernape = Torterra (I like all of them for the most part)
Unova: Samurott > Serperior >>>>>>> Emboar
Kalos: Greninja >>>>>>> Chesnaught > Delphox
Alola: Primarina > Decidueye >> Incineroar

 

[Deleted member]

Actually, it makes a lot of sense considering it's connected with the Wii U's miiverse community. Perhaps the switch won't gave miiverse.

R.I.P Miiverse.

Honestly, good riddance if this is true in the end; I never really saw a point in that stage and Miiverse itself is very toxic from my experience/perspectives. I would favor an alternative replacement myself that can expand upon the concept without being a land full of toxicity and horrible memes.

 

[praline]

The pokemon in question is Pummelgranate(Fighting/Grass) that has better attack than special attack. It's basically a pomegranate with arms. It evolves into Pomereign(Fighting/Diamond) and then Empranate(Fighting/Diamond) both which get the Steenee/Tsareena treatment upon evolution and the special attack surpasses the attack stat by a lot.

 

[Bananija]

I hope miiverse will stay. There was some masterpieces on this stage. I personally call it the "Meme-o-sphere".

R.I.P Miiverse.

It's probably just the stage itself being removed. I get that plans change, but didn't Nintendo mention that Miiverse would be featured in future systems about four years ago?

Should Miiverse be replaced, I'm sure there will be a new service using Nintendo Accounts that functions more like it.

 

[Aetheri]

I just want a Phendrana Drifts stage....

There's a few other stages I'd like but that's literally all I need and I'll be satisfied for stages...

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

The Smash stage and Miiverse as a whole was a beautiful mess.

I'm going to miss it in that regard.

 

[Aurane]

Been playing around with offensive Vaporeon again in the Battle Tree.

Undyneon(Vaporeon)@Normalium-Z
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpA/4 Spe
Modest Nature
Scald/Shadow Ball/Ice Beam/Refresh

I'm actually having some good success with this. Z-Refresh fully restores Vaporeon, which combined with its HP makes it difficult to kill. The other three moves deal damage with good coverage. I like to put this on my Ice team to support Snowslash and Snowtales by tanking Fire and Steel.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Just heard that Star Wars actor Carrie Fisher has had a massive heart attack and is apparently in critical condition.

I really hope she makes it....
