Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Wario Bros.]

Was Ash losing the championship really THAT bad?

 

[Ura]

Did you guys see the interview Source Gaming did with Dean Harrington? He's the announcer from Melee.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

The anime's ratings have been down since BW.

Even one of the key animators said they should have let him win on Twitter. Like, you give the protagonist a special form of an already popular Pokémon and he still can't win lol.

Alola has no league so it's basically the Orange League, where it's less about Pokémon battles and more about Trainers doing select activities with their Pokémon.

Still, the animation was amazing. Semifinals match was better tho

Forget the league, that team flare arc tho

Also, I too agree at the word salty is overused and had lost all meaning, but in addition, two has any variation of the word cringe or cringeworthy. Like salty, it's pretty much just a deflection based on "I'm too dumb to think of an actual counterpoint so I'll just undermine with buzzwords" that is all too common lately.

I only use it when the reaction to said thing is way beyond reasonable. Like cussing out Nintendo, cussing out game freak and/or cussing out anime characters for something like they are in the same room with you

Which is what half the pokemon fandom is going, from what Ive seen

 

[Z25]

The anime seems to be doing Team Flare right, which is pretty nice to see considering they didn't have much story in the games.
The arc looks great animation and story wise.

Im pretty interested in why Bonnie and Clemont were crying tbh

 

[Substitution]

Calling it now, Alain beats up Team Flare instead of Ash.
I am the great Substitute Psychic after all. I should know things.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

There's a Sonic cameo in the new Deus Ex game.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Can't wait for Knuckles and Knuckles and Knuckles in 2029.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Wait, they're is people that are shipping Luffy with Nami? Why?!

Because Nami and Luffy looks cute together despite the fact that the crew are treated as a FAMILY. Still doesn't stop Sanji from flirting with Robin and Nami however.

And those said shippers just hate Boa Hancock for existing in the first place.

 

[n8han11]

I don't understand why the writers can't let Ash win just one league. It's not like he'll just stop battling and never be seen again... Hell, the fandom might actually respect Ash a bit more and tone down the requests for a new protagonist if he could evolve just a little and actually win something important.

 

[AndreaAC]

I do like it how it's more closer to Super/Prime Ridley than Other M Ridley which was his worst design

Knowing how Nintendo mostly used it for nearly everything after other M, I was kind of expecting that to happen, but I'm more than glad that it didn't, NOW I need a Ridley plushie so badly.

If that somehow actually happens, I won't be surprised if Serena is paired with Alain instead of Ash.

Doesn't Alain already have that other girl? I forgot her name

Hell, the fandom might actually respect Ash a bit more and tone down the requests for a new protagonist if he could evolve just a little and actually win something important.

What is Orange League(in other words, a canon league he won in the show. People can ignore it all they want, but it's still an official league win that, you know, applies to the show itself and is an officially recognized league). Plus, the Battle Frontier still is notable since many could not beat it in the first place. Not even Paul could.

Frankly, they already will have him stay. They just seem to have another reason for not letting him win another league. The only time it's a serious issue is when they bring someone out of left field to beat him. Cameron had little development and was a blatant idiot. Tobias was clearly broken. These two were problemsome finishes. Ritchie was a good trainer, but the rules were awful, and why Ash lost that time. His other losses were honestly rather fair overall and the battles were overall amazing.

Likewise, Ash is now at second place to a Champion. That's not bad at all. Also, maybe his defeat was planned well before they knew that Alola wouldn't have a traditional league. His defeat ties into a good reason to go after Alain in the Team Flare Arc. So it should work out overall. It seems like Ash-Greninja will beat Mega Charizard X on the final stretch.

 

[Z25]

Same, it looks like a pretty interesting scene.

Calling it now, Alain beats up Team Flare instead of Ash.
I am the great Substitute Psychic after all. I should know things.

But we already know he joins them. He will probably fight in the end but from the looks of it, the big fights are done by Ash and Co.

Bonnie fights the zygarde with squishy

Ash Fights Lysandre at some point. I'm predicting this takes place later in the arc and not the first episode as it says a group of grunts led by the 4 scientists capture Ash.

Clemont fights Xerosic.

Those are the known fights for now but there will probably be a few more. I'm guessing an Ash vs Alain fight happens. And Serena probably fights someone. Perhaps she fights mabel and whatever the other ones names are. I'm guessing that to push Armour shipping,, she rescues Ash by fighting them.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Yes, he has. But I was just kidding.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

OH GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT ****ING FACE

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

And those said shippers just hate Boa Hancock for existing in the first place.

Still won't stop any fan from pairing the crew members with each other. Oda stated many times that this isn't a romance series, yet you will still see the occasional Usopp x Nami and Zoro x Sanji regardless.


Name one female character that isn't hated because of a ship. None.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Spoiler: Thoughts of the Ash situation

I have a feeling that Alain will hate himself for what happens in the Flare arc that if he and Ash fight he'll lose and he'll give up the title out of "I don't diverse this for letting Paris get eaten by vines". Just my feelings.

 

[Burruni]

OH GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT ****ING FACE

They're spreading.
They're. Spreading.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

OH GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT ****ING FACE

Y U DO DIS TO US?!!

Talking about the word "salty" for a second:

Spoiler: Bit Of A Wall

Yes. I do believe the word is heavily overused, and being used more as a buzzword rather than a proper rebuttal. With that said, I can't force anyone no not use it. People can say it and I have no power not to have them say it. And that's okay.


Now with that said, my problem with the word is when people use it as a rebuttal. I want to make this straight, there is not many I hate more in the world than seeing someone go "lol stop being so salty" over what could be a legitimate criticism. And I should know, being someone who has been on the receiving end of it.


Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know having a different opinion was a bad thing. Am I the bad guy now because heaven forbid I have a opinion that, surprise surprise, may not be exactly like yours? Well gee I was proven wrong.

Because there's nothing better to say "I shouldn't care about this argument" then to use the word salty synonyms of it. It's like its little Godwin's Law.


Now look, are they're overreactions to things that may not need one in the first place? Yeah sure. But don't just batch it up with all the other criticisms because apparently saying you don't like something is automatic crucifixion.

Let's look at the league win because it's the cool thing right now: Yes there are folks being overly petty about it. But it's not like there isn't reason to be mad at it. Because it is stupid and should be called out.

And that's okay. We can still enjoy something and not like things about it. Not everything has to be blind praise. Why does no one ever get this?!

Wow that took a while. Well with that said...

OH GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT ****ING FACE

David Bowie what happened to you?!
Who did this? Did the spiders finally get to you?! What happened to the Ziggy Stardust I remember?!

Oh... Oh no...


Even Mewtwo is afraid!

 

[Burruni]

Also.

Crabrawler isn't Little Mac.
It's just a piece of crap punk like Josuke.

It's amazing how better game!XY's story had been if Zygarde were the focus of Lysandre all along.

 

[Substitution]

Yeah, but then we wouldn't have the totally needed romantic subplot of the player character and uh...
Er...
...Who was the other character again? I think they had a Vanillux shirt.

 

[Chrono.]

You mean Shauna?

That was just one scene anyway. Other wise all 4 friends of yours were dead weight.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

You want to pair the player character with him?

 

[Substitution]

I mean I guess? They were interchangeable really.

You want to pair the player character with him?

Oh wait no he was the dancing guy.

Why did we have five rivals in X/Y again?

 

[powerprotoman]

I mean I guess? They were interchangeable really.


Oh wait no he was the dancing guy.

Why did we have five rivals in X/Y again?

4 rivals

other mc, trevor, shauna, and teirno

 

[Substitution]

4 rivals

Four? Man I don't remember anything from it then.
I miss Gary. He was nice.

The thing is, the same situation works in reverse.

Replace "salty" with "apologist" or "shill" or "fanboy."

Or how about how "trash" or other buzzwords are used to dismiss any positive discussion of games.

You make a fair point, but I know full well that there's people out there that take that point and run with it to a degree where they feel like blind praise is evil but blind hatred is some kind of golden standard, so because that tends to happen I feel the need to point out that people with negative opinions aren't the only ones being shut down.

Heck, negative opinions are so common at this point that at times I feel kind of baffled that those with negative ideas think they're the ones being told they can't have opinions when I can't go two feet without stepping in one while anyone who actually wants to say something nice about something is all too often told they're wrong for having that opinion.

Blind anything is bad. But for some reason blind opinions have turned into some political thing where blind hatred and blind support are opposing political parties constantly hosting smear campaigns against each other and anyone with a balanced opinion is left with both of them screaming in their faces at once.

Yes, we can enjoy things and have things we don't like about them. So why do I feel like I'm somehow not allowed to enjoy those things in the first place?

 

[Opossum]

I still maintain that Tierno was the best of XY's rivals.

The guy had a Corphish and taught his Pokémon to dance. That's a lot of character for his minuscule screen time.

 

[Kenith]

made an amazing discovery at a Goodwill today

I found a plush of the spastic squirrel-pilot guy from Foodfight.
You know, that terrible movie with Charlie Sheen as a dog detective? The one JonTron did a video on?

Yeah that one. No idea merch was made for that garbage movie.

For a few seconds I thought that was some mock-up of Young Conker.

That is even more concerning.

 

[Coricus]

Hold on, is that real?

I saw that same plush on one of the YouTube video reviews for the movie IIRC, so I guess they have to be circulating around somewhere out there.

I think there was even a Foodfight tag and everything.

Did they have the plush for best character Poop Rat.

I have no idea why or how it exists, but Fate decided it should be in my hands now.
