Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Not that characters need to be on a Nintendo console to be in the game. That was debunked by Sakurai himself. He's more likely to choose someone who has been on a Nintendo system before, but it's not a requirement.

So it's ultimately not going to make them impossible regardless.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

So there's this #7FaveGames hashtag going on Twitter right now so I thought I'd share mine:

• Sonic Adventure
• Kid Icarus Uprising
• Megaman Star Force 3
• LoZ Majora's Mask
• F-Zero GX
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Pokemon Gold/Silver

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Pokemon Black & White
Pokemon X & Y
Batman: Arkham Knight
Jak 3

It was really, really hard to narrow it down to seven.

>Literally calls someone "a cow"

Wait, have you never heard that expression before?

Chiko, I wasn't calling you a cow.

The expression means that people are just saying how it is. Though looking it up, I mistook cow for horse. So, calling a horse a horse.

Why on earth would you think I would just sneak in a term calling you fat?

Dude I'm 300 lbs myself.

 

[Wario Bros.]

You guys are aware this debate is slowly turning into a flame war, right?

Stop the insults or stop the discussion please.

 

[Deleted member]

They've never been on a Nintendo console

Not going to happen

I'm pretty sure they're at least partially owned by Nintendo, though. They're on the same boat as Sheriff and Color TV-Game 6.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Inb4 someone makes a Pokemon GO trainer support topic soon.

Since the characters aren't the main focus on Pokemon GO, I doubt anyone would be crazy enough to make such a thread. Unless they plan on making the upcoming Fire Emblem mobile title as deep as the main games.

Actually, **** that! We have too many Fire Emblem characters to begin with (which will sadly be ignored).

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Considering mobile is now a platform for a wide variety of Nintendo games.

I'd say its fine.

>Literally calls someone "a cow"
>"I was trying to be nice, it wasn't an insult!"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cow

Just please stop man, before I report you.

Only one thing before I go back to ignoring you; Swamp never actually called you a cow.
Get some reading comprehension.

He's saying people are calling what they see.
They see something that looks like, walks like, and quacks like a duck, and they call what they see as a duck.
They see someone who looks like and acts like they have an attitude problem, and they call what they see as someone with an attitude problem.

And that's all I care to say to you.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

As long as it's integrated well into the world, story, or gameplay, then sure.

I think this statement can clear things up. Name examples of pokemon in which this applies to, like, 2 for each gen. By explaining why your examples work, we can see what you mean

 

[Deleted member]

Gonna be honest here, Pokemon based off unliving things are usually my favorites
Magnemite, Klinklang Chandelure, Garbodor, Aegislash, Avalugg, Klefki, etc etc
I just find it gsnerally more appealing to give life to something that doesn't rather than change the color of an existing living being
So yeah, long live sandcastle

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Too late, Fire Emblem 15 and Fire Emblem Mobile's protagonists are already confirmed for the next Smash. You've really jinxed it.

You are aware that was a figure of speech right?

He wasn't actually saying you're a cow...

I have found someone that likes Klingklang.

I can now rest.

Maybe you have to buy ketchup and a deep fat fryer at a PokéMart to evolve it into the second form.

You do realise that your argument can be used to call every non-boss enemy in every RPG "merchandise bait"?

What you're asking for is simply impossible for a monster collection game. You can't integrate every single mon into the story. Not only is it seriously time consuming, no one really cares. They're not making auteur games here, they're making games which will satisfy the majority while turning a profit.

 

[Ura]

The sad part about this post is that it could very well end up coming true next year.

 

[Mythra]

I think the KlingKlang and Vanilluxe lines are pretty cool, the only bad thing about them is their stats.

 

[Chrono.]

Hawt Taek: I think Barbaracle is neat.

Dude I'm 300 lbs myself.

It doesn't just mean to call someone fat, it's used as a general term to insult people you think are unpleasant to be around or think are incapable of being friendly, here in the UK & Ireland anyway. Which seemed to be what you were trying to say I was with the rest of your post too.

As for why I think you would try to sneak an insult in somewhere, it's because you have an awful habit of getting holier than thou and insulting (sometimes in a subtle manner) towards people who aren't 100% into something you are excited about in your eyes. I say "in your eyes" because I wasn't even being negative, I was making an observation (i.e that Pokémon games are more about selling merchandise than they were in the best) about Pokémon and talking about some things I thought would be cool for the franchise (i.e. my opinion that you are allowed to disagree with).

Only one thing before I go back to ignoring you; Swamp never actually called you a cow.

And that's all I care to say to you.

I'm only responding to this for other people, because I'm not interested in users with a history of being outright inflammatory, and one who "ignores" me for literally months for something I can't even remember (like seriously I don't even recall having an exchange with you before so I don't get why you have such a hateful attitude over me).

But he literally got the phrase wrong. I know the phrase "walks like a horse", but by using the word "cow", and considering the context of where I come from, it is very easy to read that as an insult, as the word "cow" is a common insult in the UK & Ireland (meaning either that someone is literally fat, or unpleasant to be around for some reason).

So before you go gung ho about jumping to have a jab at me, please consider the context of what you're talking about.

Regardless, I don't feel like I have been displaying an attitude problem here. I've remained calm and haven't insulted anyone. I didn't even say the current direction of Pokémon was bad.

Anyway, I've learned my lesson. I won't criticise anything that's hyped in here ever again.

I didn't just mention story, I mentioned world and gameplay too, literally in the post you quoted.

Just drop it everyone. I'm fed up with people literally misreading my posts and ignoring parts of them just to have an excuse to go at me.

 

[Erureido]

So there's this #7FaveGames hashtag going on Twitter right now so I thought I'd share mine:

• Sonic Adventure
• Kid Icarus Uprising
• Megaman Star Force 3
• LoZ Majora's Mask
• F-Zero GX
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Pokemon Gold/Silver

Might as well:

• Pokemon Platinum
• Pokemon OmegaRuby
• Kirby: Planet Robobot
• Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door
• Fire Emblem Fates
• Mario Kart 8
• Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

 

[Aetheri]

The thing about saying inanimate object pokemon are being created purely for merchandise bait is that most of the time they are actually very unpopular...with exceptions for pokemon like Chandelure...

Y'know which pokemon are LITERALLY being created for merchandise?

Starters
Legends
Pseudo Legends
Build-a-mascots like Lucario and Zoroark

Or Merchandise is made for Pokemon that have had a decent showing of popularity...Gengar, Gardevoir, Hawlucha, Gyarados...

Its not like thousands of children will flock to get plushies of Klefki or Garbodor...and I'm very sure Gamefreak is aware of this...

 

[FalKoopa]

Its not like thousands of children will flock to get plushies of Klefki or Garbodor...and I'm very sure Gamefreak is aware of this...

The mental image of people rushing to buy Garbodor plushies is hilarious.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

7FaveGames? I won't have a particular order for this.

Sonic Battle
Quest 64
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask/The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening(they both tie)

ChikoLad

I got the animal wrong. That wasn't meant as an insult. I'm from America, "cow" doesn't have that context here. So that was just a misunderstanding.

Though after all these "holier than thou" comments, I'm starting to feel insulted.

It wasn't just me who thought you had the attitude problem man. It was several users. And no, it doesn't mean we're out to get you or people with different opinions. Things like "undeniable fact" when they honestly weren't come off as horribly arrogant and we were letting you know.

Dude if we didn't care, we wouldn't say those things. We wouldn't respect you enough to actually say those things.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

• Pokemon Diamond
• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• Metroid Prime
• Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg

Isn't that the game with Jojo references, Kamen Rider references, console wars references and Keiji Inafune as a summon?

 

[FalKoopa]

Im more triggered about the lack of Touhou tbh

I'm a terrible Touhou player.

I'm pretty much in for the characters, the fan made art and the music. And translations.

 

[n8han11]

Same here, I suck at bullet hells, but the art, lore and of course the music keep me entretained
*high five*

 

[FalKoopa]

Isn't that the game with Jojo references, Kamen Rider references, console wars references and Keiji Inafune as a summon?

Yep. Although I haven't seen Keiji Inafune as a summon. Time to look it up.
