If the Dolls were to be DLC I hope they spread them out over a few waves rather than just giving all of them in one wave.

Speaking of one of the Dolls...

Spoiler

Fang can go eat a **** if Marz doesn't get out alive.

I refuse to believe that only Fang managed to survive that fall.

Spoiler: SFV

Probably made it.

Or at least will come back in some way.

I will say, this story makes me appreciate F.A.N.G. more though. He's actually a great love to hate villain.

 

[Deleted member]

Both inevitably.

Smacking the **** out of people with a laptop is amazing and should be conserved.

Both what?

I was just replying to the topic question asking which version i'm getting.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Speaking of which, something really cool I noticed about one of the dolls, Santamu, has one of Zero's moves w/ the Triple Rod:

so lets talk pokken for a bit

we know of at least 3 new pokemon who will/can be playable (sizor, empoleon, darkrai)
now this leaves us with an intresting question how many other characters will there be?
in total we can see either total 4(the least) 7, 8 or 10, 12 or 16(the most)

my explination for thes numbers are as such
4- they fill up the 4 empty slots on the css
7- they expand the roster by 1 additional collum
8- instead of adding a collum they add a new row at the bottom/top of the css
10- they add 2 new collums one on the left and the other on the right of the css
12- adding 2 new rows of 4 to the bottom/top of the css
16- the most unlikely adding 2 new collums and a row at the bottom/top of the css

the reason 16 characters is the most unlikely is because its over double the number of playable pokemon
(before you ask why i didnt say 22 as the most well its because the screen wouldnt be able to fit
them all in its current state and id like to keep things simple for now)

so lets come up with 13 pokemon who would all fill in gaps the current roster lacks
(because of the 3 mentioned earlier)

There's 700+ Pokemon available there's no way I can choose just 13.

That being said I'd like to see some like Meowth, Bisharp, Pinsir, Heracross or Banette.

And more that I can't be bothered to write about.

Well that was how Generals worked in FE7. And it's not like using Swords is really that much of a benefit in that game.

Generals always had access to the entire weapon triangle afaik, that was one of their gimmicks
I never used a General in FE7 but they could all use swords in FE8
Having the entire WT in one unit is great as you can effectivelly send them at any type of enemy
Also, the General's sword animations are the coolest

The Pokemon I'd like to see are , Roserade, Excadrill, Swampert, Tyranitar, Gallade, and Staraptor (It could work)
That's all I can think of on Top of my head.

Control of the weapon triangle isn't as useful as you might think, especially later in the game. In FE7 and 8, anyhow, most enemies have poor enough stats that WTA isn't needed. Add on to that the fact that swords don't have a reliable 1-2 range option like Lances and axes do, and suddenly sword use isn't really that big of a deal.

The same problem applies to bows as well.

I'd personally like to see Greninja, Torterra, Drapion, Zekrom, Krookodile and a serpent fighter (like Arbok or Seviper).

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Oh hey Nintendo characters are finally being added to Mario Maker again.

 

[Arcanir]

The Pokémon English main site updated, it's basically a repeat of the information we already knew (though with Sugimori artwork for all of the Pokémon and a hard confirmation of Grubbin's line), but we got a couple new things:
-Concept art of Zygarde's 10% form and the Cells and Cores.
-Zygarde's ability that was shown off earlier is Power Construct, and it changes forms when it's below 50% HP.
-Drampa's ability Frenzy is called Berserk in the English version.
-Iwanko and Nekkomata are finally revealed to be Rockruff and Komala, the latter's ability is renamed to be Comatose.
-Charjabug gets the new ability Battery, which boosts the power of its partner's special attack.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Speaking of Pokemon, anyone know when that announcement is coming? I don't car if it's just the English version of that trailer.

 

[ChikoLad]

So a question for anyone who has tried the Chinese Splatoon/Smash Bros bootleg games on Android.

How do you get past the login screen? It wants me to login or something and I can't type anything besides numbers because I don't have a Chinese keyboard.

 

[---]

Quick Thoughts:

Kind of odd we don't get gameplay footage of Komala or Rockruff. The latter would be cool as a Desert Coyote if that's what the site is hinting at.

Vikavolt gets Levitate. If it has some decent stats it's probably going to be really useful.

Core Enforcer prevents Pokemon who attacked prior to you on the same turn from using their abilities?! Yeah...Zygarde is going to definitely be Uber this Gen. Dark Phoenix the Pokemon.

So there are cells scattered around the Alola region as well? Zygarde's role in the story just got a lot more interesting. Squishy is awesome so hopefully this means it'll return next season in the anime as well.

Tapu Koko (Space!) is the Land Spirit Pokemon (no Ground/Fairy?). Nature's Madness could be broken if it really does reduce a Pokemon's HP by half. At least it sounds like it may end up being a physical based move, as we could use more physical Fairy types.

 

[Aetheri]

Video announcement is up...
only real new info are abilities...

as well as a direct confirmation that Grubbin evolves into charjabug...not like it wasn't obvious...

Is that new music?

That's nearly 30 Pokemon so far. I wonder how many new ones there'll be this time and if/when we'll see the first new Mega Evolution.

it is...I didn't comment on it but I'm digging this music...

It is possible that we may get more than in X and Y, one of the biggest complaints of last gen was the small number of pokemon introduced...
I'm starting to doubt new megas at this point because I feel like we would've seen one or two by now...but maybe they are just biding their time...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I wonder if Tapu Koko is a legendary. And if so will there be three others? Unless you count Keldeo that'd be the first Legendary Quadro... Quardran... The fours version of "trio".

 

[Aetheri]

I think you can also count Arceus and Regigigas as well...

I think Tapu Koko is a legend similar to the lake guardians in a way...it doesn't really make sense for just one island to have it's own guardian while the other three don't have any...it's like what's so special about just that one island...

Tapu Koko has a bird tiki mask, so I could see other animals being represented as well...I hope there's a Shark tiki...

Edit: Check out this environment...This game's going to look nice...

there appears to be a pokemon sitting to the left a bit, but it's hard to make it out....kinda looks like Emolga though...

 

[Erureido]

I'm pretty sure it will be. The location where it is fought in looks a lot like some sort of sacred temple, which is fitting for a legendary Pokemon.

Tapu Koko gives me Lake Guardian vibes, mainly that you first meet it very early your adventure like how Mesprit was first encountered by Dawn very early in her adventure in the anime.

 

[Aetheri]

The english names have been revealed for the dog and koala as well...

'Komala' and 'Rockruff'

Komala is kinda neat because Koala and Coma...
Rockruff? I mean I suppose its a name you'd expect for a rock dog...

and riding pokemon returns...

okay i really havent played pokken in a while because a row is 7 pokemon not 4 so ya
the numbers are now 4,7(additional collum),10(2 collums),11(a new row),17(2 collums and a row),18(2 rows) again we have to cut off the 2 collum 2 row idea because weed get 24 new pokemon and....ya thats not gonna fly

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I wonder if Tapu Koko is a legendary. And if so will there be three others? Unless you count Keldeo that'd be the first Legendary Quadro... Quardran... The fours version of "trio".

I believe you're looking for "quartet".

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I believe you're looking for "quartet".

Thank you.

Also I don't consider Regigas and Arceus part of a quartet but the bosses of them. But that's just technicalities.

 

[Deleted member]

I really hope Tapu Koko isn't a legendary so I can actually use it
Either way, if it IS a legendary, then Hala is going to give it to you unless we have two of them in the same game

In FE6/7, Generals were Lance/Axe only.

Huh, so FE8 was the one to add it(they probably wanted both of the Knight's promotions to have the full WT), guess I can't really blame Blazer on this one(but I can blame him on the overabundance of enemies wuth Javelins, late Convoy and the voice acting)
But having WT control IS important, while the damage bonus might seem too small to matter, going from -1/+1 damage given/taken to +1/-1 damage given/taken makes a lot of difference, especially if the character is tanking a lot of hits or is likely to double
And the more important factor is, of course, hit rate, getting it below 50 is a death sentence, a lance is just what is needed to hit a sword user, swords make axe users blind and axes need that hit rate bonus to hit lance users

I really miss 3 weapon Generals, I prefer foot units to mounted ones so I don't like using GKs as much and Master of Arms just aren't as cool

 

[Aetheri]

Thank you.

I mean it's the same with Rayquaza being the boss of the Weather Trio...the difference is they are harder to obtain than Rayquaza...

Point is they are clearly related in some way...
same could be said for Lugia and the legendary birds...though in-game they have nothing to do with each other, it's only in the anime...

Armor Knights/Generals have had the weapons they can use change a lot over the course of the series. In FE1 they both used Swords and Lances, though Armor Knights didn't promote. In FE2/3 they were both Lance only. FE4/5 had Armor classes for each weapon type including bows, with Generals being able to use all 4. FE6/7 had Armor Knights back to being Lance locked, with Generals Lance/Axe. FE9 changed Generals to Lance/Sword, then FE10 went back to the FE4/5 system. FE11/12 had them be Lance/Bow for whatever reason. And then FE13 went back to the Fe6/7 system.

On the Japanese website, it's considered an 'Alola Guardian' and grouped separately from the other legendaries and mythical (Magearna). While that could still be a special classification of legendary, it is possible that it's just a rare and important Pokemon.

 

[Champ Gold]

Damn Lucina is such a bully

Spoiler

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Drampa's now a pokemon with a meh ability. However, Vikavolt's got a good ability, and Dazzling seems to only affect moves with natural priority if the site's description is any implication

Also, I have a theory. Remember when Marshadow got leaked? I can see it being like Tapu Koko, and with it comes a new 'darkness' weather effect

Actually, no.
What the **** is a Marshadow?

 

[Chrono.]

Actually, no.
What the **** is a Marshadow?

This is what Google told me.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Actually, no.
What the **** is a Marshadow?

When the mascot and starters got their names leaked, Marshadow and Gigareki got leaked by name too

Also, someone noticed some kind of meter in the '5 moves' pic. The site says something about new moves that are even stronger than before, meaning the fifth move could be some kind of Limit Break. Would be neat

 

[Aetheri]

Also, I have a theory. Remember when Marshadow got leaked? I can see it being like Tapu Koko, and with it comes a new 'darkness' weather effect

I actually really want to see an 'Eclipse' weather effect move that boosts Dark type attacks and Moon based moves like Moonblast and Moonlight...

I kinda pictured a Mega Zoroark getting an ability that causes a darkness weather effect as well...but that's just me...
