Dinosaur Planet was supposed to be a thing until Nintendo forced them to turn it in to Star Fox Adventures. If I were Rare i'd be pretty pissed off that my idea is not only being lost but is also being changed in to one of Nintendo's.
Well, you aren't Rare, so stop getting angry on their behalf.
They were actually more than happy to change it to a Star Fox title.

That is intense.
Wait until you see it's pre-evolution:

Cruxin [Poison/Fairy]
This Pokémon looks like a crux lying around, but anyone that touches its handle will notice that its blood gets sucked out with the cold steel suction cups.
The Pokémon will then use its immense strenght to fling the poor victim around as a weapon.

More Poison-FakeMon:

Toxinject [Poison/Ice]
This Pokémon looks like a clear bag filled with some substance with a tail. It can fly around, whipping its tail around to inject the opponent with its cold toxin stored in its bag. The fact the substance is frozen until injection protects the Pokémon against killing itself, although if its too warm outside, this protective layer melts meaning death is imminent for the poor soul

Brewhaha [Poison/Steel]
It is a pan filled with gross stuff it has collected throughout its life. It needs the gross food to stay alive and to keep enemies at bay. People try to take out the rotten food to use the Pokémon as their own pan, resulting in the Pokémon dying from a lack of food

I had a dream I was a genetically engineered super soldier designed to hunt down these alien creatures that invaded earth. They were basically the Zerg or Xenomorphs, but I was designed specifically to fight off these leader bugs that could mind control.

I seemed to have some kind of sixth sense about where they were located, which I very well could have because I was genetically engineered for my job, only the other people assisting me seemed to not believe me about it's location until we found it. Every single time.

I remember at the start of the dream my memory was erased, and I looked around the place and apparently ALL super soldier's had their memories erased and in a vain attempt to keep their memories they wrote things on the wall. I started to remember something when someone came in the room to check on me and I lost whatever I was trying to remember.

The mission itself was in some kind of theatre, which for some reason they did not want to evacuate even with the deadly alien bug things. Even though I was designed to hunt the leader bugs, for the first part of the dream I focused on the minion bugs because I was a little intimidated by my task. Even though the minion bugs were A LOT bigger (Like 6 feet tall) and had acid blood. The Leader bugs were only like 2-3 feet long but were super fast and could rip through walls and dirt like nothing while digging.

Throughout the dream I seemed to have a crush on this girl of ambiguous race with purple (or greenish) hair and there was one part I had to rescue her.

Finally at the end the bugs ended up in a crowded area, and even THEN they would still not evacuate. But I was able to find the leader bug, and while they can rip through rock apparently a strong boot standing on their head is all that stops them. To kill them for some reason, one of the solder's injected some kind of white liquid into it which caused it to explode.

Edit: For some reason I had 4 arms because of the genetic engineering. Dunno why

This is all hypothetically speaking my friend.

And i'd like a source on that.

According to Phil Tossell, the Rare staff had no problem changing the game to Miyamoto’s demands, “It seemed like a no-brainer. They’re offering this great character from this great franchise! I was attached to Dinosaur Planet but I love the original Star Fox. Our only concerns were how we could fit it into this game we have.”

What do you mean? Playtonic is mostly comprised of the team that made the N64 Banjo games.

There is no defending Microsoft as I mentioned before and in no way was any of my posts defending Microsoft's handling of the Banjo series but I hardly see how Banjo would be better off with Nintendo nowadays. Yes, Nintendo allowed Rare to have creative freedom for Banjo which i'm grateful for but they didn't bother trying to retain the rights to the series and they let it go casually when Banjo was one of the most iconic N64 games out there and the fact that Rare was a huge part of Nintendo's success in the 90's.

Dinosaur Planet was supposed to be a thing until Nintendo forced them to turn it in to Star Fox Adventures. If I were Rare i'd be pretty pissed off that my idea is not only being lost but is also being changed in to one of Nintendo's.
But Playtonic wanted Yooka Laylee to be original. Kojima didn't want to do Metal Gear after Sons of Liberty but HAD to despite him being tired of it. It's easy to see Playtonic simply want to known for what original stuff they have and not get told "Make THIS game!"
Nintendo still owned 49% meaning they wouldn't have lost Rare until Microsoft showed up with loads of cash. Unless you meant Nintendo specifically keeping Banjo, which wouldn't happen as Nintendo never owned Banjo and Rare was still working with them, meaning it was just worthless to do
Nintendo never forced them, Miyamoto said "Hey, this character looks like Fox. Why not make it a Star Fox game?" Rare then said "Sure!"

Hey @GoldenYuiitusin , I just wanted to say that, your avatar is pretty good, as always I mean. But since Springtrap is one of my favourite FNAF character and that your avatar is really cool. I just wanted that you know that.
In short,

You're pretty good.

The next FNAF is probably going to be a sequel for FNAF 3 and have Springtrap return

I turned on my OR because of the arceus event, and for some reason I am receiving an event Serperior right now.

I don't remember even when they had an event serperior, but since it's got Contrary I might as well soft reset until I get a good one for when I transfer it over

On episode 6 of Akame ga Kill, stuff I want to note:
-Bulat has a ****ing magical girl transformation scene, I love this guy
-I don't get who exactly had the Ice Relic but it's op so I hope they nerf it in the next patch
-Also, ice(sorrynotsorry) its user appeals to a... certain demographic. I mean, wears a police-looking attire and chaining her enemy around the neck while he acts like a dog? Also, he's naked? I can't make this up
-Tatsumi sounds like he's talking about Pokemon when discussing the Relics. "We gotta collect 'em all, guys!"
-Ever seen that Tumblr post "I'm gonna replace every bone in my body with a knife so when someone punches me they're in for a surprise(the knife)"? Replace knife with gun and you got one of this show's characters
-Man, some of these cliches are played so straight it's not even funny but I can forgive it because I just love the action scenes and characters

Well you got me there. Still don't like the fact that it was changed but hey it's Rare's call.

Still doesn't change the fact that Nintendo could have chosen to keep Rare and decided not to invest in them despite them being apart of their success. Such a **** thing to do really.
But Playtonic wanted Yooka Laylee to be original. Kojima didn't want to do Metal Gear after Sons of Liberty but HAD to despite him being tired of it. It's easy to see Playtonic simply want to known for what original stuff they have and not get told "Make THIS game!"

Well I only mentioned Playtonic because that's where most of the people who worked on the N64 Banjo's are currently and they would be the best people to work on a new Banjo game. It's a hypothetical scenario I thought of and IDK if Playtonic would want to do that even though I really want that to happen.

Yes and Rare was expecting Nintendo to buy them out outright due to the increasing costs of 6th gen consoles (making them a first party developer almost like what Retro is to Nintendo currently) and Nintendo didn't bother doing that; leaving Rare no choice but to look for potential buyers which boiled down to either Activision or Microsoft.

My be-hated post of the day:

Star Fox Adventures is the only Star Fox game I personally consider to be an above average experience. :estatic: Thank you, Rare.

(Not undermining the major influence of SF/SF64, I'm just not a fan of flight combat games... I do like the characters/story of 64 though).

Any combination of immersion, slight aesthetic differences in some species, breeding purposes, and sometimes evolutionary/moveset differences.
I wasn't talking about these.
Look at the posts above mine.

I read the whole page and it seemed like one of those answers applied to each person there. Might have missed some context though, I was on my break at work.

Edit: especially immersion.

I apparently got a gifted Serperior in the pokecenter and never picked it up. I dunno when the event for that was.

I picked it up so I could get the event Arceus

They're interesting... but like I don't think Pokemon entries are so on the nose about death or blood.

If Ennard was a pokemon

Enndard, type: Steel/ X

This pokemon is extremely timid, so to fit in with other species it lures a weak member away, then carves it's insides out and wears it around as as skin. It gains their typing as it's second typing by doing so. He fits right in with the native species after doing so

So here are the current results from yesterday's featuring favorite arm blade Pokemon:

1st Place: Sceptile - 5 votes
2nd Place: Scyther/Gallade/Bisharp - 2 votes
3rd Place: Kabutops/Mega Garchomp/Escavelier/Kartana - 1 vote
4th Place: Leavanny/Pawniard/Fomantis/Lurantis - 0 votes

The results seem pretty spread out for the most part, but at the moment, Sceptile has a pretty firm lead.

Akame ga Kill has taught me that you can, infact, fuse a magical girl, Kamen Rider, Lancer, Josuke and Kamina together to make a character that is more awesome than the sum of its parts.
Unfortunately, due to Lancer and Kamina being part of him...

I could have sworn I did

Edit: LOL, N/M, he has Sturdy as a Tyrunt. I have Sturdy Tyrunt

I cringed from just looking at the title.
I believe he's a little late to that since Blue didn't have a Blastoise in the Johto games MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO
Also, just saying "Blastoise" as if assuming there's a canon choice for the trainers and rivals
In-universe it's probably because Yellow is canon but it was obviously done because THERE'S NO CANON STARTER and there was no way to sync the Johto games to the Kanto ones like B2W2 did with BW

But let's see if he makes any good points, shall we?
*starts video*
"Last week, I debunked Porygon being Mimikyu..."
Oh, never mind, it's satire
This looks like ProtoMario's style, is it him?

*bites lip*
I...I need this. For research!

That's exactly why I cringed at that title.
People seem to forget that he has a different starter depending on your choice.
I will, however, give him credit for being one of the few people that realize that it's based off the Yellow is canon rather than RGB.

I just don't understand what was the point of the video when the answer is simply "Yellow is canon"

Just to check, can you SOS chain dittos? If so then hello easy Perfect IVs.
The best way to SOS chain ditto is to use smeargle (ditto to transform into) with Recycle and pay day then switch to a trick, switcheroo user to give ditto a leppa berry them switch into Muk who only needs memento then spam the Adrenaline orb (it won't take up other orbs once it's been used once..) pay day is just to make more money lol. Also a False swipe user will come in handy..
What do bottle cap do? I have some but Idk what they do So I was just planning on throwing them out
oh wait, you cant discard? well let me fix that. I moved them all the free space
As mentioned they make it look like they have 6 ivs (or 1 31 iv) but it's just a cosmetic appearance and are still unchanged so HP will still be the same type and the ivs that get boosted won't give the children 6 ivs unless one of the parents naturally had them or by luck.

All of his videos that I've seen are like this.
He makes simple answers into entire videos, or as one would say, Clickbait.
