The first part of the Kanto special in the Pokémon anime aired in Japan today.

Also, Misty's strikes again.

Anyways, besides that... I'm taking a break from Bl2 right now, so Imma make more Z-moves concepts, this time for Gen 4 Pokémon.

Heads up. These may go too far.

Pokémon: Staraptor
Name: Sheer Wind Bombardment
Move Required: Brave Bird
Effect: Places Tailwind. Ignores all barriers, Type Resistances, and Stat Buffs.
---

Pokémon: Luxray
Name: Uprising Storm Front
Move Required: Wild Charge
Effect: Raises Attack and Speed by 2+, places Electric Terrain and restores Status Condition
---

Pokémon: Roserade
Name: Majestic Flower Reign
Move Required: Petal Dance
Effect: Raises Sp. Attack and Speed by 2+, places Grassy Terrain and restores Status Condition.
---

Pokémon: Vespiquen
Name: Hive Queen's Toxicity
Move Required: Attack Order
Effect: Badly poisons the foe, even if immune. The next enemy Pokémon that is switched in, in the match, are badly poisoned as well, even if immune. If a switched in Pokémon is already under a Status condition, the badly poisoned status condition will override it. If the first Pokémon is KO'd as a result of the Z-Move's attack, then the next two Pokémon are badly poisoned instead, even if immune.
---

Pokémon: Cherrim
Name: Solar Rage Dance
Move Required: Sunny Day
Effect: Places Sunny Day, raises Attack, Sp. Attack and Speed by 2+, changes type to Grass/Fire and permanently stay in Sunshine Form with an angered expression until KO'd.
---

Pokémon: Ambipom
Name: Two-Paw Monkey Strike
Move Required: Double Hit
Effect: Hits two times, the second strike dealing double damage and raises the power of Double Hit by 15+ base power for the rest of the match.
---

Pokémon: Lucario
Name: Blessings Of Aura
Move Required: Aura Sphere
Effect: Raises Attack, Sp. Attack and Speed by +2 and fully restores health and status conditions
They literally all go too far. Your Lucario idea is busted worse than anything Game Freak have ever made and they bought us Gen 1 Mewtwo and Mega Rayquaza.

Ever heard of something called "balance"?
Like, the Z-Move ideas are cool and all but all Z-Moves so far have had just one, if they even have one at all, side effect.

The majority of Z-Moves are garbage on the majority of Pokémon. They mostly sacrifice an item slot for a one time nuke that's actually not as great as it seems, hence why there's so few Pokémon who use it, or bad gimmicks like Z-Bely Drum and Z-Happy Hour.

While I didn't put much efforting into varying the numbers (because these will never happen so who gives a damn?), they aren't broken for have additional effects.

For Luxray/Roserade, I would remove status conditions healed and lower stat boosts to 1+, which is better balanced. Both aren't powerful forces in Pokémon, so they can justifiably have additional effects.

I'll redo them just so you can put away your competitive **** before it impales someone. :troll:

Finished watching Pixels. Wow, that was bad.

Plot holes everywhere, cringey and bad writing, not much sense, why a Smurf?, and a "retro" game made up for the film whose only existence is to give some loser nerd a boner.

Nice to see :4duckhunt: but completely unrelated to the movie and only in a single short scene.

Even after all this, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

You know what's the most rad Pokemon move of all? Skill Swap.
Because I'll never forget that one time I fought a Gliscor who tried to Toxic my Tapu Lele but I just used Skill Swap on it and OHKOed it the next turn, while giving my Life Orb Tapu Lele a constant healing source in the process.
Or the time I Skill Swapped Beast Boost and the rest is history

Thing is, most of those Z-Moves really only need to hit once to turn the match completely.
For example, the Vespiquen Z-Move shuts down any and all tanks and there's nothing they can do about it. While others just boost way too many stats which, from my experience, are usually what turns a match around. I'm talking about stuff like DD Moxie Gyarados, **** that thing.

Well I would join you if others are gonna join too but tbh, I've been on and off Salmon Run and splatoon for these past days.

Everytime I turn it on, Instand in the plaza and end up turning the game off
Yeah same. Atleast Kelp Dome coming tomorrow night should bring back some enjoyment to the game.

Watched the movie... it was meh, gonna wait for the new anime

Spirited Away
My most favorite anime movie hands down.

Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Thanks to the creator slacking off... the anime has to be on hold/ end since it is catching up to the manga.
I'm not buying Ever Oasis you thot
Is the game even having price drop yet? I have said I want the game, but I don't think it's worth 40$, at least 35$...
Panty and Stocking
Eh... by looking the plot ... I don't like it... for now.
My Hero Academia S1
S2 is even more better

Well, I list the animes I am currently watching on my profile page.

I also share a video to OJ from PlayerEssence, it's interesting:
There was a problem fetching the tweet
If anyone didn't know, OJ come up with a term called "Tobi": Those who criticize Switch in a inlogic way. Or... just anyone who is being negative about the Switch are basically "Tobi"s.

And this game is better than VOEZ in my opinion. I first saw its light novel in a bookstore and found out it is a mobile game, now it is coming to Switch in Japan for now.

Debuffed due to Electric Terrain, Removed due to overkill.

Needed down due to overkill.
Because people take things too seriously, and apparently I'm developing USUM, I have redone the Z-move concepts I have made. Pity- I could watch you squirm instead but I have a heart apparently.

Also I didn't touch Cherrim. It is dead in PU and needs the buffs to be relevant with its ****ty coverage and lack of item (due to the Z-Crystal).

Remember, Z-moves are one-time attacks. And the majority here can already be done via team building, even if its a process.

For instance, Luxray/Roserade here can nuke, place their respective terrains as well as buff their Speed stats, all in one turn, because they can only do this once. However, they sacrifice an item slot to do so, and if they're forced to switch, they lose that Speed boost. Currently, both Luxray and Roserade can buff their Speed or specific attack stat with Life Orb, Scarf, etc, and have a Tapu set up the terrain, which is arguably better. With Life Orb and Terrain, they would nuke hard every turn. So using a Z-Crystal that just does one thing would be irrelevant (just like the majority of Z-Moves now). But the luxury of the speed boost combined with the terrain that increase their STAB attacks as well as a one time nuke makes using the Z-Crystal over another item more justifiable, meaning that they have an additional, usable option instead of a useless one.

I'll be more carefully about my future Z-move concepts Smogonites. I promise.

I am really baffled as to why they out Minecraft on New 3DS months after it released on Switch. Like, why didn't you do that last year then, when the 3DS was Nintendo's current platform? It's the exact opposite of Monster Hunter XX and Dragon Quest XI.

Sure, I am not a big fan of Z-Moves either but I wasn't trying to argue whether or not existing ones are good. Simple fact of the matter is that giving a legitimately good Pokemon the ability to simultaneously double Speed and both attacking stats is poor design. It's kinda like Geomancy Xerneas, but gets an extra slot for coverage attacks.

You're trying to create an argument of something I already stated in the original post I agree with. They were broken. I was just having fun. As I said, I was killing time away from Bl2- another point missed.

Also you and shoes were creating an argument out of nothing. Logistically speaking, these will never happen regardless of what they do. You're acting like I'm one of the designers of the new Z-moves in USUM and you're nervous I'd actually release something like that.

Though I will admit that if such creation was in my power, I wouldn't be making Z-moves.

OK, I really feel like Smash 4 added WAY too much fuel to the fire here.

I noticed a purple fog around him and glazed over eyes in the Direct that you also see here, so he's definitely possessed AGAIN.

Looking in one corner it seems it may have brought him to his old habits this time, though. Maybe it messed with his inhibitions while buffing him?

*EDIT* OOOOH I got an idea, it's the opposite of Kirby's friendship hearts.

Have you ever drank something and it went up your nose from like a cough or something

Imagine drinking apple cider vinegar and doing that. Because that's just what happened.

Horrible

According to Europe's eShop, Arcade Archives games (at least for Mario Bros.) will cost $7.99/£6.29

Same price as the NEOGEO games that are already on the eShop

Well it's the same people making them, I'm not particularly surprised.

Well actually I'm surprised that Nintendo actually hired Hamster, I'm just not surprised at the price.

Say, did you see that big pile of...something next to him? Don't tell me he's stealing food again...

Honestly, it's all this talk about positive concepts that makes me think IT'S finally going to make a reappearance..

The reason I brought up the NEOGEO.

On another note, this is the new Powerpuff Girl?

This is like, Sonic levels of chili dog overdose, it's not like she's sharing if it's in one box.

Does she even have the metabolism to require that?

More importantly, and this is probably beating a dead horse, but doesn't a teenager stretch the definition of a little girl pretty hard?

Know what? **** it, Ill watch this new ppg episode. Why not.
Well, girl in the age sense is flexible enough.

The "little" in "Sugar, spice, and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of," on the other hand. . .
Ever heard of Daddys little girl? Me and my sister are in our 20s but my dad still calls us his little girls
