Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

Oh yeah, Sony's TGS conference is at 3am EST tonight.

I'll be asleep so I won't watch it, hopefully I wake up to a cool thing or two delays.

You know how everyone is worrying about whether or not Serena will return for the upcoming Sun and Moon anime in light of today's CoroCoro news? I just stumbled upon something that might fill some of you with hope.

In the very first posters for certain seasons of the Pokemon anime, not every character appeared on them. Here was the very first promotional image for the Diamond and Pearl anime.

Notice that Brock doesn't appear here. When the first image was first released on the Internet, Paul wasn't even named yet, and fans thought he would replace Brock. Some time passes, and we eventually learn in the next news update that this new male character would be Ash's main rival, and Brock was confirmed to return as another traveling companion for Ash.

And now here was the very first promotional image for the Pokemon XY anime.

Notice that Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie don't appear on it. It was up in the air who would even travel with Ash when this image first leaked. Cut to the next batch of XY anime news, and we learned that the three we're familiar would be Ash's traveling partners for Kalos.

Where am I going with this? History could repeat itself. While we do have some characters appearing on the first poster already, it's possible that this isn't the entire cast for the Sun and Moon anime. Some more characters could be revealed this Thursday, or perhaps Serena among them, and if it turns out to be the case, this could be a similar to how Brock was revealed for the DP anime 10 years back.

Interesting.

And it would have been quite intriguing to see Paul as a traveling companion.

Timezones maaaaan.

 

[Yellowlord]

Uh.... Seems like I missed a lot. Afraid to say I am not a Jojo fan, so I didn't understand about 95% of what I was reading in relation to Jojo.

Otherwise, seems like I am all caught up.

 

[Mythra]

I get dragged out for a few hours and miss a Jo-Jo debate?

brb listening to King Crimson.

I know, it works better for Japan, sucks for anyone like me on the west coast. Although, I just want Kingdom Hearts news, but I don't know how likely that is.

 

[Bananija]

I THOUGHT NO ONE HERE WOULD UNDERSTAND MY PAIN
****ING HELL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK

Spoiler

Then it turns out Reigen is really not an Esper, he's just the greatest con artist in exostence and managed to fool and entire organization of powerful Espers
And here I was thinking: "why is the ending so focused on him? He isn't that important to the overall plot"
Now I know why...

I'm excited to see how Mob and Reigen himself will react to this situation
Will Mob have seen this coming or will he feel betrayed? And what will Reigen do when he finds out it was Mob who invaded one of the bases of his organization?

Between this, 91 Days, Re: Zero and Jojo, this anime season has been great
And also Arslan Senki but that ended a little too early and I'm still salty because of that cliffhanger

Is Re:Zero good? I was wondering what new anime I could watch after finishing the 7 Deadly Sins and its extensions and I ended up watching the first episode of Parasite (which is really good so far). Should I had it to my to-watch list? What is it about?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Well Kingdom Hearts is getting a new trailer apparently so. . . high?

It is!? Awesome, that'll be great to wake up to. Is it for 3 or 2.9?

2.8

Apparently the original translation was wrong so it might just be an extended version of the last trailer. Probably a little new stuff but probably not something to get too hyped about I would assume.

Ah 2.8 is hype, but not as hyped as 3. Still will be nice to see more though.

It's just chili dogs.

Well, they have to have fast food.

The best damn fast food I might add

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

The Sonic cafe reminded me that there was Eggman themed food in Unleashed.

These better be available in the actual cafe.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It doesn't feel natural for me to see Game Freak take inspiration from something so old

Volt Tackle was based off of Pusleman and possibly Tekkaman, not to mention I literally mentioned Kamen Rider's crlebrating it's 45th anniversary. Oh, and the BW anime had a Kamen Rider episode which was based off of the originsl 1971 show

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

The thing about Serena is that they already wrote a way for them to easily and temporarily part ways. I doubt it's dub only, but she intends to follow Ash through the rest of the league, and then take a break to train for more Showcases. I feel that this'll stay and that she'll cameo later on(and maybe return for a longer time) in the S&M anime.

 

[Coricus]

I went to Tumblr with the intent of making a topic dedicated blog I thought I was going to use and then instantly lost interest in it, and then I remembered the other one that I set up a while back and never did anything with.

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/budgettrashasksmash

I set up one of those "Ask the characters" things for Smash Bros with my spur-of-the-moment drawing stuff.

Maybe actually mentioning it will help the poor thing. Or maybe not.

This is all references to Kamen Rider I could find. Yokai Watch, Batman, Kill la Kill, , Fairly Odd Parents, How I Met Your Mother, TMNT and much more have referenced Kamen Rider

. . .So if the Falcon Punch is a reference to Kamen Rider, what does that say about our fandom considering it's so highly revered by many? Does this mean Kamen Rider has domain over us all?

So annoying...

Yes. Even if there's no god or budhha, there is Kamen Rider.*

Nah, it just means we watch too much anime, but not enough Jojo.

Also hi I'm not dead. Turns out therapy is kind of useful once you get decent anti-anxiety pills.
I hope no one minds.

I do too. But I don't have any of the avatars and I gotta go back searching for them. So I just tossed in an avatar I use everywhere else until I get something to replace it.
Or alternatively I'll just make one up for myself. Shouldn't be that hard right?

The food is okay. And yes they do serve chili dogs.

Looking at the poster, I like the dynamic poses for the two a lot more then their static artwork. Something about the way they're portrayed in movement makes them pop out more to me, especially with Midnight form. Midnight form's model also looks pretty good from what I'm seeing in the images as I love the ferocity its attack animation seems to have.

Also, this poster confirms that Midnight form gets Counter and Midday form gets a new move called Accel Rock. It also apparently confirms that yes, the two forms are version exclusive, which is pretty disappointing.

On Serebii it says his move is literally counter

That's...kind of sucky if one gets a new special rock attack and the other gets plain old counter

By the time I finished making this for you, you already found a placeholder.

Ah well, here it is. Didn't feel right leaving you plushless.
