Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[PsychoIncarnate]

I've never heard of people giving lies about giving into scams.

But one, why would you keep going with it after it was pointed out to be a scam?

And two, even considering I've never heard of this before, that almost sounds "I have to go iron my dog" level of bad excuse making.

Who even thinks about orphanages anymore? I don't know much about orphanages, but I don't really hear about them in terms of modern day stuff so I'm guessing a large chunk of them were replaced by the Foster Care System. And even if there is an orphanage, I doubt it's going to be just one person in charge of rebuilding it, especially not an uncle, which is pretty much the go-to excuse family member.

My brain's dumb today and I'm still seeing holes everywhere in their logic.

Every customer being scammed lies or believes what the person is saying without question.

I just had a customer that sent $1500 to Jamaica for "Her granddaughter's education"

Jamaica is one of the scam capitals of the world, along with Nigeria.

I sent the money either way because she had a consistent story though.

Why would someone go to Jamaica for education though?

ALSO HOLY **** THE HOMERUN BAT CAN ****ING REFLECT PROJECTILES

To have the HIGHest kind of college experience.

Everyone knows Ness can reflect ****. But the homerun bat, as in, the OHKO item

Little do we know that the NX is actually a hardware Wii U and 3DS update that adds so much stability, you can keep horses in them.

Therefore Wii U Breath of the Wild = NX BoTW.

Ninten-ception.

Yeah, both are able to do that.

I also learned some weeks ago that beating Event 51 in Melee without losing a stock gives you a notification in the game.

[Godzillathewonderdog]

So Chris spoke about the upcoming characters and mentioned Odyssey this way: "Odyssey is well on his way"
Therefore it's a;

• recurring
• male
• villain
• with a cape

The only character I can think of honestly is Black Shadow.

Help a poor clueless guy out, smashers.

I think it's Vaati.

Ooh, I just learned one of the possible features in the next update of Minecraft is Llamas

Yeah? It's really fun to see. I once saw, in person, two friends have a Home-Run Bat showdown, and the winner won by reflecting the opponent's thrown bat back at them. It was great.

 

[Burruni]

The truest ruleset for a Smash fight.

• Any "Human" character.
• Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Stadium 2, N's Castle, and Pokemon League only.
• Item frequency set to highest.
• Items set only to Pokeballs & Masterballs.
  
• You can not directly attack your opponent.
• Who is the Pokemon Master?

Does grabbing and throwing count, for things like Deoxys?
Also with the majority of pokemon assist trophies, that would take quite a while to get a KO.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Damn we are so thirsty for news a webpage going down is newsworthy

Retro please im desperate for a new game from you.

I'll hate your pathetic waifus until Chuggaaconroy fully finishes the bonus content in Okami

So until the end of time?

Ehhhh it's close enough.
Still, it's a hell of a ride for a game or two with friends.

*Old man voice*

You yung'ins and yer Nintendo news! Back in my day, you were lucky if Reggie even got around to leave'in the office! Nothing was like the great news drought of 2015..."

 

[Lord Dio]

Ehhhh it's close enough.

Alright, just checking. I mean, who would walk straight into the beam and get ko'ed?
Yeah, that sounds like a ton of fun, gonna go tell a few friends about it.

You're next on this hitlist Mike.

I think by this point it's known I'm from the unpopular opinion corner.

Black update...

Figured Burgh's Leavanny would give me some issues so I levelled up my Pidove until it evolved since its 4x super effective....turns out didn't need him as Demeter was able to handle it...Bug Bite>Struggle Bug apparently...Lower my Special Attack all you want...

Also Bug Bite eats berries apparently since it ate the Sitris Berry on Cheren's Servine...

Mitsu

Demeter

Osiris
Tranquill-Amherst (Pidove evolves at Lvl 21? da****?! Gen V and your weird high levelled evolutions)
Patrat-No Worries

In addition to video game characters, I also tend to have a habit of naming my pokemon after Gods...well neither can be said about the latter two tho, but they are only temporary members...
Anyway half of my planned team is set for now...still need to figure out a flying type...and no, I really don't want to use an Unfezant...hmmm...what about Rufflet? *White exclusive* @#%$!!! No 'Murica bird!!!
what other choices do I have?...
-Swanna
-Sigilyph
-Archeops
-Swoobat
-Mandibuzz

hmmm...Considering Sigilyph or Mandibuzz actually...both are decently bulky...I don't have a Dark type on my team or currently planned, though I do have a Psychic type planned...probably will go for Mandibuzz because of that...tho I reeeally wouldn't mind using a Sigilyph actually...Ghost has more or less the same coverage as Dark and Mandibuzz is probably one of the few Dark types I don't really care for tbh...though three Pokes weak to Dark is a bit of a set-back, especially considering how many Dark types I will face late game with Grimsly, N, and Ghetsis...

Xenoblade Chronicles' opening scene is the most anime thing ever.

 

[Erureido]

So some interesting anime news today. First:

Ash's mother and Mr. Mom ( yes this is intentional) are traveling to Alola with him. So like the games, does Ash actually move there?

What if they are like "We are going to meet your father! Then it's professor's oak's cousin. That be funny but probably not happening.

And Ash's official art actually looks good. Hopefully in final versions of the anime, he looks this good.

And finally the next two episodes of XY have been announced:

The Pokémon Fan magazine in Japan has revealed another pair of new episode titles, this time for the fourty-fifth & fourty-sixth episodes of Pokémon XY & Z. These episodes is set to air on October 13th and October 20th respectively. The first episode features Serena finally battling Ash, and the second features Ash encountering Team Flare Admin Xerosic.
Episode 941: One Last Battle with Ash! Serena's Choice!!
Episode 942: Farewell, Ash-Greninja! Xerosic Strikes Back!!

In the first, Serena has a final battle against Ash before making her decision about her future.

Second:

"Xerosic who escaped during the events of team flare, makes his move in an effort to strike back and fulfill lysandre's goal. Upon hearing this, Ash and Greninja rush into action to stop him!"

So they're probably pulling some bs where Xerosic does something to prevent Ash Greninja from happening again. Thus allowing Greninja to be left at Oak's without it feeling like their bond was nothing.

Which is sort of stupid, but I guess it will work. Could see an Arc in Sun and Moon where the power they have is regained possibly. Maybe to fight ultra beasts.

Not gonna lie, but when I first saw this official art for Alola Ash, I thought he looked more mature than his X/Y version. Great artwork! Hopefully Ash will look close to this in most episodes aside from the first few ones.

It's also worth mentioning that the recent anime news stated that Serena is thinking about traveling with Shauna in order to learn from each other about Pokemon Showcases. I'd say this is a bit surprising, since I expected Serena to turn to Palermo first and not Shauna. Something tells me this is the episode where she leaves Ash though.

As for the Xerosic one, the title does seem to imply the Ash Greninja transformation will be removed from the Pokemon, which could be a good way to justify why it won't be present in Sun and Moon. A part of me also thinks this could be a troll similar to that one infamous episode, where there may be a moment where it looks the Ash Greninja transformation will be lost, but something happens that allows Greninja to keep it somehow.

He does look maturer then the trailer. I could see him being on par with his XY self. Also supposedly the XY writers are working on something else now and not sun and moon. But I don''t buy that rumor yet.

And I didn't hear that bit about Serena. That be pretty neat. It would be different. plus she wouldn't be sent to Johto where literally everyone else in the show is. ( Johto Chronicles when?)

And yeah Ash greninja could stay. It could go either way. What I hope for more is looker to cameo and maybe even mention emma. As this seems based on the small postgame of XY with looker. Which is surprising for them to do. It should be a good episode. Not a bad way to wrap the series up.

And I'm looking forward to Sun and Moon's.

Archeops.
Flying Gem Acrobatics is the stupidest thing ever and it's great.
Though I'd also suggest Scrafty, just because its Hi Jump Kick is one of the best counters to Hydreigon in gen 5.
Edit: Really though.
Flying Gem Acrobatics is
55 x 1.5 x 2 x 1.5 power on Archeops.
247.5 base power for one just absurd nuke, and still 165 every turn after.

 

[Aetheri]

Wanted to avoid choosing Archeops mainly because I've already used it before and I wanted to try out Pokemon I haven't used before...same is true for Scrafty...love them both btw...(except for Archeops's ability which sucks)
Also used Swanna before plus I don't need another Water type....and Swoobat? I'd rather Sigilyph...

Just saying.
Archeops, Ferrothorn, and Scrafty are just some of the best mons period out of the gen.
I ran with two steel types in my B2 run just because Ferrothorn had so much bulk it didn't matter if it was my third pokemon weak to fighting and Marshal imo is the hardest E4 member of the series.

So I got the go ahead for the caption contest thread.

Who would be interested in being a judge?

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

I think it's Vaati.

Now tagging @Xenora

You can thank me later.

"Does my prior experience make me eligible?"​

"no"​

"darn"

My taste in comedy is too poor

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

To be honest, I kind of want Odyssey to be Black Shadow.

Just for the already outdated Falcon Punch anime meme to be revived.

 

[Aetheri]

Oh...Goddammit...

my Dewott was on the field...

"trainer is about to send out a Blitzle"

Ok, I'll just send my Grass type Swadloon cuz it resists Electric

*Blitzle used Flame Charge*

. . .

My Swadloon is never going to evolve at this rate...

What else was ironic that I used a Will-o-wisp+Hex combo with my Yamask

Trainer: "Be careful of Burns"
*Gives me a Rawst Berry*

lol

I may be, but details first, if I may ask.

and Aetheri get a mandibuzz. That was one of my favorite team members in Black. Bulky and not to weak. Under appreciated imo.

 

[Coricus]

I know you're wrong on that.

Because I've seen this upon booting up a game.

There is literally nothing wrong with letting the anime flow through you.

But know this.

Essentially, we just judge whether captions are funny or not and determine the funniest ones.

Maybe work a prize in there somewhere.
