No I didn't.

I said we need a spin off that isn't a puzzle game. I said nothing about relevancy. Nor did I share my definition of spin offs.
I know you didn't share your definition, that's why I gave mine. I was musing that my definition was different than most peoples' because a lot of games I count as such apparently didn't.

Although with all possible time frames in mind instead of relevancy, I would guess there would have to be something.

. . .or maybe not. Life is just one big puzzle after all.

. . .I think I confused myself with this conversation, I'm sorry if I annoyed you. . .

Mushroom Kingdom Warriors
Toot Toot Sonic Warriors
Kingdom Hearts Warriors with just the actual KH2FM battle system

Those are the ones that need to happen the most.

Apparently there was gonna be an alolan paras and parasect that are possessed by morelul and shiinotic. That would have been awesome,
The "deleted" Alolan forms could come back in Stars

IDK, even if he just keeps the same stats, I prefer pokemon that evolve

That'd be cool. The Fire type Weezing is also cool.

Turtonator could've been an evolution for Torkoal.
They don't look anything alike, and I HATE Pokemon that go from one type to a dual type that does not include the original type.

Wait... Torkoal is Fire not Ground.

Kind of hope Ekans and Koffing get Alolan forms in Stars, and Jesse and James find them in the anime

I've been working on stuff to make bad Pokemon better.

I forgot the name, but I made a better ability for Regigas. It starts off at 60% for all stats but for 7 turns it adds 20% of its standard base stat. :p

You know, I wonder. . .

The rumor is that the rejected Star Fox Warriors pitch involved flying around as part of it. I wonder if that would be reapplied to another franchise that got pitched and actually picked up?

Granted, that doesn't narrow it down that much, since half the candidate franchises discussed have means of flight across several characters and there's no guarantee they would even stick with the idea, but it does make me think a bit. . .I mean there was this one other game that was considered to be a Star Fox game at one point. . .

Actually that makes it broken as ****. It'd have over 300 attack and 240 speed so it'd just wipe everyone by the end.

Or maybe that's good.

It would still be bad tbh XD

Guys, I know what the Nintendo IP Warriors game is gonna be.


Haha, we were discussing that in the Dream Land Group here.
It actually looks like a possibility.

Slow start. That's worse than slow start. It's going to die earlier, not do as much damage, and still be slower than everything that's not paralyzed. Slow start is just a bad ability because it exists. It's like the splash of abilities but worse..

It needs to survive for 7 turns for it to activate. Gigas still has no HP recovery move 110/110/110 can only last for so long and lower defenses makes it more frail

Oh, nevermind, my friend @Tortilla Noggin said this about the topic:


"It isn't foreshadowing, and it means nothing. That t-shirt was confirmed by Bill Trinen to be a pun weeks ago. ;)

The kanji for "Ran", which is pronounced like "Run" - meaning "chaos" - is what's featured on that shirt. It's punning both Super Mario Run itself (whose logo is featured in the lower-right corner of the shirt), and Akira Kurosawa's film, Ran - particularly the DVD cover for it;



Official confirmation of the punning can be found here and here.

Now, unless Bill Trinen isn't telling the truth about the puzzle he teased about regarding the Super Mario Run t-shirt's pun, that's all there is to that. ;)"

I don't know, I remember seeing concept art for a Japanese level in a 3D Mario game from a LONG time ago, while the Warriors thing seems much more recent if Star Fox's future being questionable is part of the reason for that IP being rejected.

My instinct tells me that it might be related to the 3D Mario shown in the trailer being a globetrotting game with a Samurai powerup during that level rather than an indication of a spinoff. Or it could even just be unrelated pun-based marketing for Super Mario Run, who knows.

But hey, half the time when I try to consciously guess stuff I'm wrong anyway, so who knows. Just offering the theory I came to about Samurai Mario.

And so I head off the college. Is Xenoblade Chronicles X worth playing in off TV play?
The only problem is that you can't see the map during it but you can just press a button to change it if when you need to quick-travel

How about just giving it Protect and maybe it'd have a niche
Man, I can't believe that a Pokemon getting Protect would make them significantly better

How is an ability that adds 20% of its base stats every turn(and thus reaches the original base stats by Turn 2) worse than Slow Start?

I hope you both realise I was joking around.

I mean I really want a Mushroom Kingdom Warriors, don't get me wrong, though I doubt they would theme it around samurais and Japanese culture entirely, and I don't think I'd want it either.

Though on the Bill Trinen point, I was aware of that too. However, him saying it's a pun doesn't mean much, because regardless of whether or not Samurai Mario actually will be used for something, he's never going to say he will be until it's formally announced. Definitely not the first time PR has denied something only to confirm it soon after.

Well for one, didn't praline say ALL stats were now reduced at first? I thought Slow Start left the defensive stats alone and only halved attack and speed.

What good is Regigigas in turn four when it's dead by turn two?

It was per turn? The wording of it made it sound like it returned to normal by 7 turns like slow start does :lol:
Though it still doesn't get a recovery move or priority. It's rather gimicky the first turn it'll have 110/66/66 defenses then the 66 becomes 88 (2nd turn) then to 110 on the 3rd turn. Damage calculator would come in handy but I don't feel like going there atm.

Oh, I thought Slow Start already reduced its defenses, my bad
