[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This was the tweet that was deleted.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

It says "NX NEWS TOMORROW."

And yes. Some stuff about an NX reveal tommorow is leaking out the wazzu on twitter. Brace yourselfs.

Oh.. heh idk if I can take that seriously tbh

But hopefully here is news so I can get the word NX out of my sight

Kevin Pereira out there risking his life and his Twitter notifications.

I think it's legit IMO.

Hawaii. Everyone's your cousin

Yup, you didn't get it
Here it is then

I can't help but laugh everytime I watch this

*deep breath*
She was mever a guy

 

[Yellowlord]

EDIT: NVM, the guy behind the tweets was lying. I should stop trusting people that claim to have information on the NX...

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

So uh, been browsing NeoGAF, checking for NX leaks, when I came across this...
https://mobile.twitter.com/Attack/status/775420426835009536

Read the capital letters. Could it be?

EDIT: Wow! I'm super slow! The tweet said:

gamers. i have Nothing to eXplain. Now Everyone, Will you please Stop? unrelated, TOMORROW is just another day. kisses.

The man who posted it is hosting some meetings at the annual GameStop Expo. Get hyped?

Heh. Sorry I'm so slow, gang! Not only was this tweet removed, so was another from the same guy:

Maybe Overreacting Buries Important Leads, Everyone! CONSOLE yourselves. The Wait is likely wOrth It; Naysayers dON't bElong.

Again, read the Caps.

MOBILE CONSOLE TWO IN ONE

Did Eurogamer actually leak the NX 100% accurately??

I like to imagine what will happen if nothing really happens tomorrow and he did all this work

I'll remain skeptical until something actually happens
Edit: Oops, nothing to see here, ignore this

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'll start caring about the NX when it gets officially revealed.

[Ivander]

It's like when you buy new clothes to look good for someone at a party but they just ignore you but then suddenly some alien comes out of a portal and asks you to call them "Mommy"

To be fair, that more fits Cryogonal rather than Mew. I mean, Mew has Transform. If Ditto's Transform is anything to go by, Mew can probably do what Ditto can do and more. Heck, if it's possible for Ditto to transform into the UBs and learn their moves(IF it's possible), Mew could give Beauty competition. Heck, by what Ditto can do, Mew could still probably give it competition.
Cryogonal, yeah, it's got nothing other than static face.....and strange floating glowing balls that move like arms.

 

[Yellowlord]

Welp... I lost all respect for this guy (even though I never really heard of him until now) for toying with our hearts. Doing these kinds of jokes right now when we really want NX news frustrates me. On the serious side, I am hoping we'll get something either this week or next week.

You know what'd be interesting...If they had moves no pokemon can learn

Except Smeargle

And now that I remember who Kevin Pereira is, I'm not shocked abut him trollin lol dude was a riot on Attack of the Show

Dude, EVERYONE knows that. It's just that cousin is a formal greeting in Hawaii

Black Belt to Beauty. Black Belt is a male exclusive class. She says Black Belt in the Japanese version. AKA she said Karate KING

But what about the fact women can be black belts irl and it has nothing to do what gender you are?

*leaves*

But in Pokemon Black Belt is a male exclusive trainer class. The female version is Battle Girl...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Nothing is worse than Big Mom Rule 34. Nothing.

All Yonkou Rule 34 is bad.

Except maybe Shanks because he's the most normal of the four (including the former one).

The wat he says friends... It reminds me of Goldman from House of the Dead 2. The best character voice acting of all time.

 

[Burruni]

People will also try to use any mild evidence to support their cause.

 

[Opossum]

Because in Japan the Black Belt class is called Karate King, i.e., not gender neutral at all.

 

[Ivander]

Except Smeargle

That would be interesting, except that considering Smeargle couldn't sketch Shadow Moves and still cannot sketch Chatter, I would not be surprised if Smeargle couldn't sketch any moves truly exclusive to the UBs.

I'm one of those people that does not even believe she is whatever.

Not like it matters in pokemon anyway

I'm "laughing my ass off because I don't care about the NX" in that scale

I know that but I was talking about lesbian cousin magical girls

I'm gonna end up sounding like some tumblr user but: SHE was never a he

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Oh. The tweets were a joke. That's fine, not like I was dying for NX news or anything.

Spoiler: ACTUALLY

 

[Chrono.]

Welp... I lost all respect for this guy (even though I never really heard of him until now)

My thoughts basically.

 

[FalKoopa]

Oh, it was a joke.

Well, that was disappointing. Back to doing other stuff. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[BluePikmin11]

Alright, I am here again, this will mostly be focusing on why I formulated the opinion I have for Pokemon S/M.

Spoiler: Argument

There's a number of pokemon fans that left the fandom altogether in favour of Yokai Watch...you yourself are an example are you not?

Yes I am.

Yokai Watch already borrows a lot from what makes Pokemon, as well as Digimon did before it...
Heck YKW2 is implementing different versions....WITH version exclusives AND trading being added...

You can't complain about Pokemon borrowing things from Yokai Watch when Yokai Watch has done the same to pokemon...

I mean, to be fair, depending on your outlook, trading and version exclusives are arguably basic elements for the monster collecting genre. And I don't have a problem YW taking those basic ideas.

What I do have a problem with is that Pokemon seems to be adding a few specific things and changing its pace with the anime that makes it closer to YW's structure:

-Adding a ghostly side-kick who helps you gather data for monsters, having a similar premise to Whisper.

-Suddenly changing the pace of the Pokemon anime to hit closer to a slice-of-life school anime similar to YW and putting Ash back to school. (Which is theorized according the CoroCoro leak)

-Directly making Z-Rings a watch toy like the Yo-kai Watch watch toy to summon powerful attacks, in addition to trainers dancing being part of a phase, somewhat like when Yo-kai dance with their specific tribe song to get summoned.

I can understand Pokemon wanting to change after seeing YW2 dominated ORAS in sales in Japan, but as someone who bears knowledge of both franchises, you can't help but feel suspicious and think that Game Freak took direct specific ideas from Yo-kai Watch to implement in their franchise. Some of the additions/changes do not feel really necessary and feel added for the sake of being competitive to other monster collecting games.

That's where I base my opinion from. And I feel the need to share this long opinion because it personally concerns me to where the Pokemon franchise will go to in the future, with a path of being similar or having its own identity again in the next generation.

Is it a bad idea to take some general ideas to help improve your franchise? No. But when you transition and take very specific cues that made YW great into the games/anime to make Pokemon better, I can't help but feel personally upset at Game Freak.

Wait wait wait...what other RPGs do the multiple versions/version exclusives thing? Besides maybe one Mega Man game that I could be imagining anyway since I don't know much about the non-classic series, that's ALWAYS been Pokémon's thing.

There is that one Japanese game series that is famous for being a "Bootleg pokemon game" that did version exclusives

I don't think Yo-Kai Watch was the first game to make a connected toy... in Japan, IIRC, that's fairly popular.

Isn't that the one that had Sun and Moon?

 

[Chrono.]

It became a staple of the Megaman RPGs starting with Battle Network 3, Atlus' short lived DemiKids series did it too, the Oracle Zelda games if you wanna count those, the Digimon World DS sequel, Tales of Hearts had a weird of version of this (one with anime cutscenes, the other with CGI cutscenes) and Fire Emblem Fates for a more recent example.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Kaijuu Telefang or whatever it's called did it too.

There's Medarot (Medabots in the west), Inazuma Eleven and probably a few other Japan exclusive monster/robot collecting series that have this multiple version thing going. Pokemon is definitely not the only one, but it's probably the most notable one world wide I guess.

Edit: Guess I've been'd with more examples.

Oh wow I can't believe I forgot about the Medabots games.

I even had both versions!

As a toku fan I can confirm this. Toei considers Kamen Rider Gaim a huge success despite the horrendous ratings. Because the toys were stupidly popular

 

[Opossum]

Today I learned about several monster collecting games I hadn't heard of before.

And ah, it was the Battle Network series. I should get more up to speed on non-classic Mega Man.
