Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Hat N' Clogs]

It's in both a manga and light novel form. You'll have to pay for it though.

Oh dang, hmmm....well, we'll see then.

 

[Fluttershy]

LOL, I literally specifically designed it for my in game team, so I don't know how well it would do online.

I just figured 392 attack (With thick club) was good enough and he could use some speed. So I invested in speed.

He's also got Belly Drum, which realistically I'd have to get SUPER LUCKY to be able to use online, and the only way that'd really be effective is if I could pass him down some agility. Which, I actually do have a baton passer.

Or if it's for doubles you could use speed swap with Ribombee. 126 base speed with +6 attack and a thick club will be difficult to take out.

Xbox One recommendations? Gears 4 is good if you can look past the microtransactions, Killer Instinct is great, Rare Replay is the best value for a video game ever (especially now that it's about $10), Recore is really interesting even though it gets a lot of hate for some reason, then if you don't have a PS4 or PC; Mortal Kombat XL is insanely fun, the Bioshock Collection is excellent, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Old Blood are both must haves. There are just so many games.

I haven't played Recore yet but it gives me PS2 era vibes. That aspect may contribute towards the lukewarm reception the game's recieved, but IDK.

 

[praline]

I like thinking up Pokemon that you'd encounter during surfing that aren't part water type. Like Flasherel(flying fish) is electric/flying, Dolphage(dolphin) electric/flying, Bubarble(bubble) diamond, Tussel(mussel) rock/fighting and Baithe(sponge) ground/ghost.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I asked about Lonely Sheildon because I thought that maybe due to Bastiodon's ludicrous defenses, I could get away with it for more attack.

That said, can I get an ability capsule to change abilities to prankster?

That said, I got an adamant Archen through in game (it can go with my Jolly one I trained in X) and a Modest Goomy and Timid Alolan Vulpix I got from Wonder Trade. What do you think of those three?

Are you making it mixed? If not lower its special

If you are,might want to lower its speed

 

[ChikoLad]

The whole tasteless fanservice thrown in filler episodes for 40% of the arc, Kirito having an exclusive skill, being able to grind enough to make himself invulnerable to most players and the fact that the only person who is stronger than him is literally cheating wasn't offensive enough?
And we never even learn the main villain's motivation and reasoning

No, they weren't offensive enough for me to be offended by it.

The Aincrad arc is incredibly flawed but ultimately it's what I like to call "junk food anime".

When you stop and think about it, yes, it's got a lot of problems that add up. However, when I first watched it, I had my brain turned off for the most part, and just used the show as an excuse to eat microwave popcorn, or as something to watch while I ate breakfast. And for that purpose, the show was fine enough. It wasn't like Alfheim where it had a bunch of stuff that was just plain weird or made me feel uncomfortable (the tasteless fanservice was honestly pretty tame and honestly, it's a common trope of the shonen anime genre so unless it's more like what happens in the Alfheim arc, it's the kind of thing I'm pretty desensitised to). At the end of the day, it hasn't got very compelling characterisation and it botches up it's story concept part way through, but the fights are fun to watch, the environments are nice to look at (as in "I'd love to explore them in an actually good video game" nice), and the soundtrack is legitimately captivating at times. And I can say I at least liked some of the characters on a surface level.

That game is more terribly than SAO and ALO

I personally think "SAO and ALO are terrible games" are like the most insignificant, bottom of the barrel, "I REALLY just wanna rip on SAO" criticisms out there.

If SAO and ALO were good games but all of the other problems those arcs had still applied, it wouldn't change anything. The story would still be the same, Kirito would still be a Gary Stu, and Asuna would still be getting her character butchered and then literally getting molested later on. Likewise, if SAO the show had excellent characterisation and story and all that jazz, but the games it was set in were still badly designed, it would still be a good show. Ultimately, SAO is not about MMO video games. It is about a boy named Kirito and his "struggle" in a life-or-death survival situation, and him growing out of his anti-social behaviour for most of the show. The video game setting is just that, a setting. SAO is as much about MMO video games as Doctor Who is about time travel (spoiler alert: Doctor Who is not about time travel - which isn't me saying it's a bad show, far from it, it's just really not about that).

If people are willing to ignore poorly told stories and characterisation if a game is fun to play in the video game medium (even though that's actually more important to a video game, then having a well designed video game in your show that isn't about video games), then surely the reverse is true of the anime medium. SAO may take place in some poorly designed video games, but that fact actually has little to no bearing on how good or bad the show is. I guarantee you, if SAO was a really good anime, NOBODY would be talking about how poorly designed the games in it are nearly as much. Prime example of this is actually the Mother's Rosario arc. You could tell that entire story the same, but instead of Asuna meeting Yuki and interacting with her in a video game, she meets her in an online chat room or on a social media website - and the story and it's themes could be conveyed just the same, point for point, with very little adjustments needing to be made.

This thread really gets into some weird conversations and topics sometimes.

 

[Aurane]

Do you enjoy Racing games? Cause Forza is an excellent series.

Sorry for the late reply but nah. Not really into racing games. The only one I like is Mario Kart.

And if they don't need to be exclusives, Xenoverse 2, FFXV, Battlefield 1, Rocket League, Gears of War 4 are all good too

No- they don't need to be exclusives. Just games you can get on the Xbox One.

I'll look into thoses titles. Thanks!

Am I making what mixed?

Adamant can work for Archen but since his attack is already really good, the Jolly nature one would be better.
Modest is among the best for Goomy, but it depends on what you want to do with it. Modest is for dealing more special damage and Calm is for tanking special damage.
Timid is also really good for Vulpix, since its main job is to serve as a fast support member. However, if the Vulpix's ability isn't Snow Warning, I'd highly recommend you find another one, since Snow Warning is much better than Snow Cloak.

 

[praline]

Meanwhile, I'm starting to finish up my Pokémon region. I just finished all the regular Pokémon today, so next I'll move on to giving Pokémon from other regions (pre-)evolutions, and after that, I'll move onto legendaries. I've created 176 Pokémon so far.

I also have 176. Passing 200 is cray cray.

This is interesting.

Rooster Teeth possibly caught stealing art assets for RWBY?

http://musicemo.tumblr.com/post/153338615954/slashmaiddeviantartcomartrwby-wtf-645284611

Late to the party but this is AT LEAST the third ime i've seen RWBY accused of stealing assets.

I don't think it's been proven once.

Turns out I missed a chapter of BSD because someone at Kissmanga put Chapter 46 at the end of the list, meaning that if you just clicked 'next chapter' you'd miss it.
Luckily it wasn't that important to the main plot and instead focused on a side character but I just loved this panel

Spoiler

View attachment 124575

Is this a manga about Laywers or jsut one scene involving them? Because if it's the former I would be required to check it out by law (heh)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The shieldon

I could honestly,

How would you do it?

 

[Aurane]

I could honestly,

How would you do it?

It doesn't have the offensive stats to go mixed.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I could honestly,

How would you do it?

I looked through the history of Bastiodon throughout the ages

It's probably better to keep him physical.

Maybe raising his defenses or attack. Either way he's got a tiny attack.

Smogon currently doesn't even give Bastiodon ANY attacks, just counters.

You'd probably have to make him Adamant or Modest for him to deal any kind of damage. And even then it wouldn't be much

Edit: Yeah, his special is even LOWER than his attack. And neither are good

 

[Aurane]

Anyone have a Celesteela? Its the last Pokémon I need for my dex.

 

[Erureido]

Finally watching the Fate/Grand Order OVA. A bit overdue, I know, but I finally got the time to watch it. I'm currently at the 36:37 minute mark.

I already knew some of the characters prior to watching this OVA, but only now am I starting learn about Dr. Roman, and my first reaction when I saw him was, "Holy cow, is that Subaki from Fire Emblem Fates?"

I mean, just take a look at them:

Perhaps it's only that sees their similarities, but both are wearing ponytails and ahoges (though Subaki's is much more prominent), have handsome faces, and are expert healers (Dr. Roman is the head of Chaldea's medical division, while Subaki's default promotion is the Falcon Knight, which uses staffs). The main differences that set them apart is the hair and eye colors.

Not to mention Dr. Roman doesn't go around talking about his perfection compared to the other, while Subaki wouldn't play hooky & binge watch shows compared to the other.

I definitely like Dr. Roman a lot more though. He seems like a fun guy to be around (dude literally tells Ritsuka all about the facility they are at), while I was never that fond of Subaki due to his mediocre stats and he talked about his perfectionism a bit too much (although I really like his supports with Hinoka and Sakura).

As for my other thoughts what I've seen so far:

Spoiler

LOL, Ritsuka looked surprisingly happy in his sleep for someone who was sleeping on the first mission orientation.

And talk about lucky how he wasn't assigned for the first mission but then disaster struck within the facility and all the 47 other masters that were about to be transported got critically injured.

Prior to watching F/GO First Order, I had a hard time imagining how Mash would attack considering that her only weapon is literally a shield, but wow, that thing acts like some sort of super-powered club when used offensively. Man, it really packs a punch!

Yep, Medusa from Fate/Stay Night was a Lancer in this adaptation, and wowzers does she look dangerous in this version. Also, that stone person she ripped the head off of looked a lot like Shinji. I couldn't help but laugh because it's always satisfying to see Shinji Matou get brutally killed.

Cu Chulainn from F/SN appears as a Caster, and the battle he had with Medusa was pretty good. I'm happy to see he's still a huge bro in this adaptation just like his original counterpart, he's still a flirt just like in F/SN.

Now it's time for me to watch the rest of the OVA.

Anime bench watch,Day 2: KonoSuba
The most fun i had with an anime since i saw Panty & Stocking.Like this is a very funny anime with tons of character.It was only 10 episodes but none of ten episodes ever really felt to drag for me and were always a blast to watch.Like i didn't pause when watching just back-to-back laughing every episode.Really helps that its sorta a parody of anime like sword art online( there's even a blonde kritio rip-off they make fun) and anime of the such well still being its own thing.The 4 main characters are good,though aqua can be a pain and darkness quirk is...something.Best girl megumin is the best character dont even debate.If you havent seen it i recommend it entirely.One of the best anime's of last year.Up there with My Hero Academia imo

 

[praline]

I thought of a 2 stage Pokemon based off spider monkeys.

First stage is Monkider and is fighting type, it evolves into Gorantula, which is also fighting type, but could get a secondary type if someone thinks of a good enough reason for one. Gorantula looks like a 4 armed gorilla.

That's also give it access moves that could help it against psychics

The problem is not about the games needing to be "good", they just need to look realistic otherwise the suspension of disbelief of anyone who has played a game once shatters.
How am I supposed to believe a game with only 10,000 copies sold on release day is enough to be a successful MMO or that anyone would even be interested in a MMORPG that only has one freaking class? ALO's mechanics are just stupid unbalanced it's not even funny and makes you wonder why anyone plays with the non-DPS races, GGO's a mash of genres that make no sense together, randomized avatars would turn away anyone immediatelly, the fact its metagame somehow didn't find out about the usefulness of swords until God Kirito came along along with various other mechanics being only found out by Kirito and Death Gun, the bullet trails making no sense for a shooter, snipers being completely unbalanced yet no one but Sinon uses it and taking 8 ****ing months to make a competitive build and it being extremely hard to change your build after you make it.
These things matter because worldbuilding matters, you can't sell a world if it doesn't even look realistic by gaming standards.

Reki is not a gamer nor has he done any research into the subject, it just serves to show how lazy he is and that he really is just after that green.

If this was a manga about lawyers, it would have made that reference 10 chapters in.
That guy isn't even a lawyer, he's just a once-multibillionare that is now flat broke that also happens to be Fitzgerald.

*goes into the daycare to take out my current Dhelmise to switch it with one of the children. There's an egg waiting for me so I go out to claim it then go back in and talk to the girl behind the counter.* "Oh my sister was looking for you..." I just took an egg away from her..

The Dhelmise I was using is from my in game team one because it was in a Lure ball

Konosuba is probably one of my favorite anime comedies, Kazuma is actually a really fun main character and I love the way it parodies the common tropes of the genre.
And luckily, season 2 will be airing this season and starts next week on the 12th(and it's, like, probably the only good show this season)

Nah, it needs all of the defense it can get. Even the highest attack possible for it is pathetic and easily outclassed by many pokemon even unevolved.

Yep, you can since prankster isn't a hidden ability for it.

And those three are definitely great.
