Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It seems Pokémon GO was released officially in large parts of Africa on 4th and 5th October.

Time for a map update.

Countries where some form of Pokémon is available officially.

might wanna change that now that people arent playing it anymore

Just because it doesn't have the same level of popularity it had back in the summer doesn't mean that people don't play it anymore.

I never liked Pokemon so it didn't pique my interest.

It's past its peak, but it's quite popular.

Ninantic is still releasing updates (the catch-rate boosting one is coming soon) and has plans to release it new regions this year (notably Russia and India).

We are now close to COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION

 

[Ura]

We are now close to COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION

You think Nintendo can get Pokemon GO running in North Korea?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

They can release it no bother. It's distribution that's the trouble.

 

[Chrono.]

Niantic pretty much murdered GO's momentum, but it's still popular.

Once a big updates comes out (like second gen Pokemon) I have a feeling it'll pick up again.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Speaking about NK reminded me this news me and my sis saw about a NK officer going over to the south and defecting

 

[Arcanir]

This is something.

Interesting, I think the translator's interpretation about Vikavolt and Yungoos are probably spot on as it makes sense with the former due to Charjabug allowing for a unique fighting experience while the latter is only connected to Alolan Rattata at any point in time. The last line is probably what's going to catch everyone's eye as that line is very reminiscent of the Corocoro line that has been hotly debated, and could refer to the starters. If that's the case, then it does confirms that the secret they share with Rockruff is in fact the same. So if that's true, then whatever Rockruff gets could go to the starters (which would include split evos, though I'm not as sure on that one anymore) while the starters could give Rockruff anything special about them (like Bond Phenomenon if it is used for other Pokémon as a new mechanic).

Well, no matter the case, it looks like we may not be in the dark for long as it's been confirmed that the download size for the full Sun and Moon game is 3.2 GB. The good thing about that is that is a huge game, double the amount XY had and a little short of the same with ORAS, so we may be in for a large experience with it. However, that also confirms that the Sun and Moon demo has 8% of the main game's data (.4 GB vs. 3.2GB), which is a bit worrying as that's exactly in the same ballpark as the ORAS demo (which had 7.2% of the data) and that could mean that a lot of information is still in that demo just waiting to be datamined like before. I hope I'm wrong in that assessment, but the possibility of the entire game getting leaked out is growing more likely.

Great, bring it on, I want it

 

[AndreaAC]

It is but man did it cripple the DR bad

It's mostly me, Professor Pumpkaboo @Phantump Dark redfeatherraven @Coricus AndreaAC and @NonSpecificDonnieDarko

And the small occasional showings of @Cyndane Space Stranger and @Chainz

=3= I haven't been on Smashboards overall as often as before, therefore I haven't been much in the DR either, I mean, I sometimes check but I don't say anything, I have been on DA and Skype more lately, I was going to use Discord, but it confused the Hell out of me.

But I do miss telling you that Overrated Italian Assassin Guy is ...well, Overrated! Hehe.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

why these people handing out bibles outside my class building

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

If Smashified releases a new video all about Vaati this week, I would seriously give them all of my life figures in gratitude.

Yes, that's how much I really want to see a professional 3D model of Vaati.

This question is just for a project, but how what words would some of you use to describe me?

Silly, sarcastic, smart, mature.

That's all I've got for you while I wait for that Yumi mousepad.

 

[Deleted member]

I understand, though that's part of the project I'm working on, if I just ask someone close I'd get predictable answers, especially the people that know me from the inside and out.

But asking people that can only describe me based on how I act, that's more interesting.

 

[Cardboardtubeknight]

You should name him Tony the Tiger.

It would only make sense from there.

That looks like Tony if Tony was in the late night murder you, and dump you in the dumpster club as opposed to the breakfast club. Yeah, I like it.

Y update:

Spoiler

Team:

Frojer

Joker

Jawseph

Galaxia

Fire Birb

Grover
Today, using all of my free time (Which was in the bus and in my school breaks) I beat the game.
The Elite Four were pathetic, and Diantha was even more pathetic. Joker one-shotted her Mega Gardevoir with Sludge Bomb (I know Mega Gengar has a really high sp. atk stat, but doesn't Mega Gardevoir have a really high sp. def stat?
Anyway, afterwards I caught Zygarde and Mewtwo (Skipped Moltres because I don't have time for it), both of which were rather easy to catch... Then again, I used a Capture Power...
Then I did the Looker missions quickly and beat the game.
I surprisingly enjoyed this playthrough, even though I used to consider it to be one of the weakest games in the series (Well, that is, after I played the other gens... Y was my first Pokemon game), and while I still don't consider it to be on my top 5, I still like it alot.
Tomorrow I'm gonna start my Alpha Sapphire Playthrough... If I can beat it quickly enough, I'll might start my HeartGold playthrough before Sun and Moon release, which shouldn't be a problem since I'm not gonna catch every single legendary until later on.

It's libertarian idealism. All about the free market. As little government control as possible

Including no government control of police and military

A world where the rich have all the power

That would be Anarchism, the extremists of Libertarianism. The thing behind libertarian ideals are that, theoretically, the rich wouldn't be bailed out by the government. They think government interference doesn't allow the free market to properly grow. We would, again theoretically, have great options without overdone regulations. Libertarians (as in libertarian governing) would allow a big business to fail when a big business is on a verge of collapse. In short, libertarian governing doesn't bailout the rich. Only the customers do that.

Minarchism sees reasoning behind having a government, but still favors a smaller government. If a minarchist society favors liberties, they can still be considered libertarian in nature.

I think at all levels of economics (Rich, mid class, poor) they are going to be jerks. You would have to look at their character, and likely, motivations for their actions, as well as the actions themselves.

Minarchism vs Anarchism debates in libertarian groups do happen. It's not the only debate, though.

Don't you just love tweeting about terrible video game redesigns that no one bats an eye at (Bomberman)?

 

[Burruni]

Y'know what.
Let's have some Pokefun!
Make up some new abilities.

Insectivore: Nullifies bug type attacks and increases Atk stat by one stage (please Carnivine, gain this and not be a flytrap weak to bug)
Drowsy Fluff: Contact damage leaves attacker with a 25% chance to fall asleep

Just for example

 

[MajinBuu272]

Limbsy - physical attacks hit twice (second hit has half power).
it'd be like parental bond but for pokemon with multiple limbs or arms such as machoke , /, , or /ambipom

 

[Chrono.]

No one bats an eye at?

It killed the series and it's universally hated.

I'm pretty sure people batted a couple eyes at it.

New abilities huh? Let's see... what would shake up the meta...

Honor Duel: User and opponent's held items cease to have effect. (does not effect Mega Stones or Z-Crystals)
Dense Mass: Removes foes Ground-Type immunity
Charizard will be relevant again godamn it: If the foe uses Stealth Rock, their 3DS slams shut on their fingers

 

[MajinBuu272]

too bad those stealth rocks are one of the best ways to take out talonflame, because now charizard, moltres, & ho-oh have to deal with it

I see that you're spreading lies again

I wouldn't say it killed it since it got some decent PS3 games after it but damn did it damage it.

Just for example

Well for my bug/ice Weta pokemon idea...
It would have an ability called 'Quick Thaw'
When hit with a fire type attack it would nullify the damage for one turn lose its Ice typing and gain a x2 boost in Speed and Attack...

It would also activate when exposed to harsh sunlight or hit with a Will-o-Wisp and Scald...

Frigid Body: Contact damage leaved attacker with a 30% chance to freeze.

Atheist (or Sceptic): Halves the damage taken from Ghost, Fairy and Dragon type attacks.

I sure don't.

They can release it no bother. It's distribution that's the trouble.

North Korean citizens are cut off from the internet as we know it.

They have a separate internet that can only be accessed from inside the country. So, no not even proxies or VPN can get you out, because it's literally a separate network.

Just for example

Play Dead: Feigns falling to an opponent's attack, complete with a Pokémon switch. However, it has a chance to "revive" one to three turns later at half health. Would be exclusive to that Normal-Ghost opossum I want so much and could potentially be really broken.

Bad Influence: If the opponent KO's your Pokémon, their ability becomes Truant.

Dexterity: Allows a Pokémon to use man made items in battle.

Dragon Slayer: Pokémon gains a Sharp Attack Boost after KO'ing a Dragon type Pokémon.
