Arceus may be a "God" but it's rarely treated as something people worship in a religious sense. Hell, after it's HGSS event it's hardly been mentioned, let alone worshipped and Giratina's connections to being a devil are vague at best.
Breeding Extreme Speedless Marvel scale Dratinis.. Hopefully we'll get this date for Poke bank soon and get better moves for these Pokemon.. Extreme speed Dragonite needs to make its return
Also Alola Friendlies rules are up and Items are usable now time to get my Gluttony Munchlax set up and evolved so I can troll these Peeps
Honestly, no angel type wouldn't work in Pokemo, because everything associated with it has been taken, the whole light thing that's taken and split between Fire, Electric and Fairy type, it's otherworldly nature is also covered by Ghost and Fairy type as well. And before you say but Ghost's don't relate to evil, some of the legends involving angels can be pretty messed up.
Basically its the whole same reason Dark type has no moves that really relate to darkness/shadow as an elemental theme, since Ghost covers all that.
Pretty much at this point it seems Pokemon has cover every elemental type and stuff involving powers in, unless they were to implement that whole rumoured Sound type. Not saying there can't be new types, just seems Pokemon has covered them all.
Although I'm not sure how much Ghost type goes into the Darkness/Shadow elemental theme, so hey maybe Shadow type could be a thing one day.
Also I feel Light type really shouldn't be a thing, cause I feel that would drastically limit move concepts for the Fairy type, to be honest.

Isn't Diamond covered thoroughly with rock type though? Although if you were to work in gemstones into the type concept, then it would work really well. Although I feel Gemstones relate more to metal then to rocks, although they fit more thematically with Ground type since they come from the ground and all.
Also Diamond type could get confusing since one of the games is named Diamond after all. Still if the theme is just legit Diamonds then don't change the name, just more saying how it could get confusing.
Oh yeah, forgot about that, just remember that the move Sunny Day isn't one of them, since that's a translation error, and Sunny Day is more along the line of clear sky.
Also remembered Fairy typing has themes linking to the moon, like how Fire typing has themes linking to the Sun.
Lucio's been my go-to since he offers a streamlined experience for me. "Don't get hit" and "Stay around your team" are basically everyone's jobs already and that's almost all he has to do to be appreciated.
As a support focus more on healing other teammate. Lucio is a support that I use the most.
Still trying hard to boop people off despite I got good at taking down enemies as well, also wallclimb.
When I'm not running him, I fool around with D.Va and Mei (side note, "sorry, sorry, sorry" is the best taunt ever) but my success with them remains mixed. I run a decent Mercy, or so I'm told, but I prefer a more active support role, hence Lucio.
I'm pretty garbage at actual offense, though. I've mostly tried McCree, Reaper, Sombra and been garbage with each. Feel like I could do better with 76 but haven't really given it time
Mei and Junkrat are my two main defense characters. But Mei the most.
I got good with 76 ever since his buff, but I use him mostly when defending.
As Reaper, try to flank with Shadow step and wreck lonely tanks. Go to wraith form even before things turn dicey.
So my most used characters in Quick Play are:
1.Reaper 28 hours
2.Lucio 12 hours
3.Mei 8 hours
4.D.Va 5 hours
5.Soldier 76 4 hours
6.Junkrat 4 hours
I am also trying out more characters like Sombra and Tracer.
Well, I just tried a OG Marowak only team for Balanced Hackmons on Showdown... needless to say, awful idea. But at least making the movesets and putting them into action was fun.
Saw someone suggest Kamala Khan could end up in the MCU because of how she's one of Marvel's most successful characters in a long time. I won't expect more than a name drop for ****s and giggles, but that'd actually be cool

I haven't read those chapters, but I have heard about the summary of what goes on, and DANG that sounds like a load of fun! I was reading the manga for a while, but I stopped because it started to bore me and I had other life priorities. However, just today I read up on what's been going on in the manga very recently, and I can't WAIT to see it unfold on screen.
So with AoT, who are your favorite and least favorite characters?
To be honest, I don't really have a clear favorite. I have a number of characters that I call my favorites. I'll just list them. A lot of these characters came into the position where they are because of what happens following season 1, so I put a spoilers tag just to be safe.
Favorites
Levi - Yeah, it's hard to dislike this guy. Not only does is he super strong, but I'm a sucker for edgy characters, and Levi is no exception. He can be rude, sure, but he's also serious and even leaves some memorable quotes. I also found his cleaning-freak personality to be funny. Levi is also pretty sympathizable once you learn he used to have a really rough past...
He lived in the underground slums his entire life prior to joining the Survey Corps. He was born to a single mother who was a prostitute as her basic means of funding the family and eventually died from starvation. His uncle, Kenny, took care of him in her stead, and after a few years when Levi finally learned how to effectively fight on thanks to his uncle's teachings, his uncle left him.
What also makes him more tragic is that he lost his two closest friends, Farlan and Isabel, in his first expedition, his entire squad during the female Titan arc, and know Erwin during the Battle for Shiganshina arc. He's pretty lost a lot of people close to him that it makes sense that he's become pretty sullen.
I also find it interesting that he comes from the same lineage as Mikasa (it's revealed that Levi's last name is Ackerman), and one of my favorite Levi moments has to be when he brutally defeats the Beast Titan in the Shiganshina Battle (he doesn't succeed in killing him, but it was still a really satisfying scene to watch and one that really shows how dangerous Levi is).
Armin - I'm a fan of the underdog characters, and Armin is no exception. He's not physically strong, but he has a brilliant mind which has turned him into a valuable tactician for the Survey Corps. I can't help but root him on whenever he comes up with a plan.
Krista Lenz - The reason she's on here has to do with what happens to her in season 2.
Krista Lenz experiences excellent character development during the Uprising Arc, the second half of season 2. As Krista Lenz, she does kind acts because she wants others to see her as a good person. This behavior stems from her backstory, where she was an illegitimate child; she was the daughter of the king and one of the servants at the royal mansion. Because of this condemnable background, she goes around doing good deeds in her order to make her feel better about herself. However, this behavior has also leads her to trouble, particularly when she is willing to go as far as sacrificing herself just so she can be seen as a hero.
When Ymir escapes with Reiner and Bertolt and Krista's real name is revealed to be Historia Reiss, Historia becomes a shattered individual who essentially becomes empty. However, over the course of the arc, she begins to to believe in herself and develop her own strength. The two best scenes that portray this character development are when she defies her father and when she follows another character's idea of punching humanity's strongest soldier. Now, Historia has become the new queen of the humans within the walls, and she has gained a new confidence in herself.
I didn't care for her much during season 1 other than, "She's got a cute personality," and I remember there was even a moment when I really hated her right when it looked like she was going to inject herself with the Titan serum and eat Eren at the end of Chapter 65, but boy was I blown away in Chapter 66 when she threw her father onto the ground and told him, "I'm done with you, dad," and freed Eren from the shackles. From that moment, she became one of my top favorite characters in the series. I rank her really high.
Erwin - Another really cool character. As the leader of the Survey Corps, you can tell he has done a lot for the group, one of which was incorporating the scouting formation that is utilized in all of the SC expeditions. He also knows how to rally the soldiers when the situation calls for it, even if the situation looks grim. Erwin is also level-headed and displays some massive bravery, whether it'd be willing to accept execution on the spot or not even flinging when the Female Titan's arm is flung towards his direction.
He also has a strong desire to learn the truth about the world and prove his father's theory was correct, and I see myself in Erwin through that trait. Like Erwin, I also want to find out the truth on what is going on and reach the basement.
Hange Zoe - Her energetic personality is pretty entertaining in a pretty-dark show, especially when it comes to her fascination with the Titans and learning more about them. When she's angry, Hange is really scary and badass. I find her to be a perfect mix of these traits.
Eren - It's true he is an unpopular pick for a favorite character, but I'm pretty attached to Eren. One thing that I like about him is that he is another underdog-kind of character. Throughout most of the series up until the recent arc, he doesn't win most of the time, but it makes sense. He hasn't mastered his Titan Shifting abilities, and he has to learn the ropes from other soldiers. He graduated in the top 5 of his class through hard work and not because he was already talented. In a way, I think Eren feels like a very human character. I feel more attached to main characters that start out weak and have to develop their abilities overtime than those are already prodigies when they are first introduced.
It's true that Eren gets kidnapped a lot, but I think it's a realistic portrayal for someone who receives special powers (I mean, if you given the ability to control all the other Titans with little knowledge on how to use it firsthand, I'm sure different forces such as the royalty and the Warriors will be after you for it. He also experiences some pretty nice character development during the later portion of the Uprising Arc.
These next few favorites are characters that are yet to appear in the anime, some of which were only introduced a few chapters ago:
Kenny Ackerman - I loathed this character when he was first revealed, mainly because he played a part in framing the Survey Corps during the Uprising Arc, but I really grew to like him later on. One of his best moments is when he tells Krista the truth that Rod Reiss, her father, doesn't care for her and only wants to use her for his (Rod's) own selfish gains, and how he shuts up Rod was a really satisfying scene (the dude literally sticks a knife into Rod's mouth). He has a crude way of talking, but looking back at him now, I'd say that it made him pretty entertaining to listen to. He also has a sympathizazble backstory when you learn about how his family was persecuted and the strong bond he developed with Uri Reiss, Rod's brother and a previous king of humanity.
Grisha - A controversial pick. Many hate him for turning Eren into a Titan and thus giving him the responsibilities he has to undertake. People also hate him for being a horrible father to Zeke, basically sending away his first son to the Warrior Program for the sole purpose of restoring Eldia rather than treating him like a son at the same time. Personally, the fact he is very open about his mistakes makes him pretty compelling. He admits that he was a horrible father to Zeke and made that fatal flaw that led to the titanization of the Eldian restorationists. However, when you learn about his motivations for all that he did, it makes sense. We learn through the books found in the basement that his little sister was fed to the dogs only because Grisha traveled outside of the ghetto with her. This experience gave him the desire to join the Eldian restorationists and restore Eldia's rule, fed up with the oppression the Marleyans have instilled on his own people. When he ultimately ends up within the walls after Eren Kruger gives him the mission of taking back the founding Titan, we can see that he learned from his mistakes with his second son. Grisha treats Eren Jaeger like any father would by not forcefully instilling his ideology onto his son (a mistake he made when raising Zeke). He lets him grow and develop, and once he learns that Eren wants to learn about the outside world, that's when Grisha realizes he is the ideal person to save Eldia.
Eren Kruger - He was only just recently introduced and is a side character who only appears in flashbacks, but man do I love this guy. He killed off one of the biggest scumbags in the entire series, Major Gross (more on this guy in the least favorite character section). We also learn Kruger was an Eldian spy working within the Marley military, and he was providing information to the Eldian Restorationists to aid their cause. It turns out his family joined a revolutionary group when he was a child, but they were burned by Marleyan soldiers because of it. Kruger was hiding and watched the horrific tragedy unfold, and he vowed to get revenge. In order to get to where he is now, a doctor had to falsify his records so that he could be seen as a Marleyan and thus join their military. This allowed him to gain access to information hidden from the Eldians, thus allowing him to serve as a mole for the revolutionary groups. Sadly, as a soldier, Kruger had to titanize his own people as part of his job in order to keep his identity a secret. He experiences guilt and hesitation because of it, but he gains hope when he notices Grisha's hatred. Thus, he gives him the mission to bring back the Founding Titan, but seeing how the recent events have emotionally shocked Grisha, he gives him the courage that to carry on the task (Kruger can't do it himself because his time is running short due to his Titan Shifting capabilities). He particularly this memorable quote:
Basically, the actions and goals of an individual will live on, even when the person carrying it passes away, but they can only remain when the torch is passed on to someone else. Sometimes, in order for these actions and goals to be carried on, sacrifices must be made. Kruger's quote really portrays the theme of sacrifice and how this action is important in passing a mission to the next individual when the situation calls for it.
He also leaves this memorable regarding how people approach truth:
Least Favorite
Unlike my favorites, I do have a very clear least favorite character. This is a person who has only appeared in the manga so far, in the current arc to be exact.
Major Gross - This was the man who killed Grisha's little sister, Fay, when Grisha was only a child (and he told Grisha back then that he was only returning her home, but Grisha figured out he was lying). He later appears when the Eldian Restorationists are about to be Titanized in Utopia, and we learn that he killed Fay not only because she went beyond the ghetto, but also because she was Eldian. Major Gross is a racist scumbag who believes all the Eldians are monsters that need to be wiped out, and he enjoys torturing and executing them. He also taunts Grisha after titanizing Grisha's wife, Dina. Thankfully, this character gets one heck of a satisfying death when Kruger pushes him off the Marleyan wall right when Grisha was about to be thrown off, and then Gross gets devoured by the Titan nearby.
Y'know what, the Switch presentation is a week away, I'm gonna make one of those bingo cards too. Just regarding info we might get next week, not in general.
Tried not to pick obvious ones (no discs? MK8 port? 3D Mario? C'mon) or ones that have very little chance of happening (a new GS ;_.
Y'know what, the Switch presentation is a week away, I'm gonna make one of those bingo cards too. Just regarding info we might get next week, not in general.
If I'm not mistaken, next week's presentation is at 11pm EST, while the Treehouse event is 9:30 the following morning...
Surprisingly as someone who lives in the EST timezone 11pm actually works for me since I usually finish work at 9pm, while I sometimes stay up until 2-3 in the morning...
Though the Treehouse event is a bit more awkward since I'm not going to be able to catch much of it since I will be working...hopefully they won't be showing us too much that wasn't announced during the Switch presentation...
I feel like it will be mostly gameplay footage for all the switch games that will be announced..
