Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[Aetheri]

Good morning. I'd figure I'd run here since Giygas is freaking everywhere after his victory (Scary son of a *****). Now we are doing polls on classic, yet forgotten Nintendo characters. The first set of characters are Urban Champion, Bubbles, Excitebiker, and Ballooon Fighter. Characters like Lip, Takamaru, and Tamagon (Or the Devil) will be taken cared of later.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Dark Samus!

oh...not that retro...

Was that Pokemon Direct thing a fake?

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Was that Pokemon Direct thing a fake?

What Direct thing? I don't recall hearing about anything like that.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Was that Pokemon Direct thing a fake?

No, It was real. Though it was last year's direct being retweeted to fool people

God damn it....

I blame that furball for jumping on my back.

Tut tut, excuses don't work

Well, crap.

I just watched IHE's review of "Who Killed Captain Alex"

An individual in Uganda wanted to start making his own movies and created his own studio. It's extremely low budget. But really, it's kind of better than what you'd expect from people who have no experience making movies.

And he had a point in the end "For those that want to make movies but think you can't, these people barely have water or electricity and they created their own studio. What's stopping you?"

You forgot to mention one of the highlights of Who Killed Captain Alex.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Okay
I see why Ed (Cowboy Bebop) is popular
I want to protect her

Anyone else watching Digimon Adventure tri's fourth part?

Just finished watching it. Random Thoughts:

Spoiler

It was nice to see Sora get some needed focus, though I think they could have done a bit more with it. I can understand Biyomon being wary after Sora stepped on her, but having her be angry/stern felt like the wrong emotion was being used. To the director's credit, I enjoyed the quiet unspoken scenes. I dread having to listen to Biyomon's new dub voice come release.

It's nice to finally get some exposition regarding the bad guy's plot, as well as tying things into the Season 1 cliffhanger of them not being the first DigiDestined. That said I'm getting the feeling that there will be a lot of plotholes come Part 6...

Gennai holy ****. Granted he's not very interesting and his dialogue is corny (subs?), but **** that scene with Sora was really out of place and random. Still not sure why he disguised himself as Ken...Kind of bummed the Dark Masters didn't have speaking roles.

Yggdrasil being used as the main villain I have mixed feelings towards. On the one hand it's been done before, but one the other I think it could help add to the mythos of the Adventure series/bring Adventure up to speed with other Digimon series. Doesn't look like Season 2's many plotholes will be solved here.

Season 2 Characters when? How could the main cast just forget they exist? For each movie they're not mentioned the more peeved I get and feel the ending will be rushed...

Six minutes of nothing but Digvolving. It's nice they gave Tentomon some love after Part 3's ending, but Patamon's final form kind of came out of nowhere in that it had no build up.

Looks like Part 5 has confirmed Meicoomon and Gatomon's Megas. Ophanimon Falldown Mode is a major surprise considering promotional hints leaned towards Magnadramon.

Wait, what? Who said anything about me going on a date when this is a family dinner? You just want to go because it's a free meal. In that case, you can pay for yourself like a responsible adult.

That aside, I went with Baloon Fighter. No one's going to remember Urban Champian (Probably going to tag @smashkirby and Wario Bros. since they are fans). Wonder who else you will pit Taka and Mach against.

You make it seem like I'm a cheapskate. Of course I'm planning on buying my own food. What makes you think that? Do you know how to take a joke?

im very tempted to buy a new theme for my 3DS to help me feel better. there ar no good themes out

If it makes you feel better, just go for it! Nothing bad about that!

Decided to change my avatar in light of Pokemon day coming up this Monday.

What better way to commemorate it by going with an avatar of the man, the myth, the legend himself!

I forgot to post this about a week back, but here was my last summoning:

Definitely not one of my best. I already have a 4-star Stahl, and I have two Silver star Pegasus Nights already: one of which has become a part of my main team (a.k.a. Subaki). Tiki was my only good pull here, and I have started to train her recently. Sure, I have 5-star Young Tiki already, but older Tiki's advantage is that her attack can deal damage even from my two spaces away during a counter-attack. 3-star Female Corrin is pretty much obsolete with the two Tikis I have, and I got yet another Nino.

I guess this is why I waited so long to post this: because it wasn't my best summon.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Most of you can't. Y'all stingy as **** if I'm to be honest.

hey hey


yeah you right, we like free food. Reminds me of the Anime in my icon. She wanted to go to a mixer and said "even if it doesnt go good, the men pay for the meal" lol

If it makes you feel better, just go for it! Nothing bad about that!

There. is the pokemon ones and the story of seasons ones that ive been eyeing

The tweet went around for some reason. Upon a closer look, the date is for 2016, not 2017. So a bunch of people got got.

its called aggressive retsuko. retsuko is a red pandy that sings heavy metal. Its pretty funny if you like those small few minute episodes.

Of course it was an overhyped retweet for the misinformed.

Pokemon might as well be a pipe dream since Game Freak has little plans for a new game.

They actually did confirm a Switch game before it was called Switch iirc

Balloon Fighter has been my most wanted for more than a decade now. GIMME GIMME! (I'll even take Flash 2 or Crusade adding him at this point).

I would vote for Urban Champion too if i I could've done two.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

id rather main pokemon games stay on 3DS and spinoffs go on switch. Like a 3rd Colloseum game

 

[Mythra]

Welp, I finally listened the new Linkin Park song.

>Curls into a ball hugging Hybrid Theory and Meteora albums.
>Defense goes up one stage.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Hard to believe we're less than a week away from the release of the Switch (though it's likely I'm not getting it at launch).

I know it's not a launch title but I'd really like some news on ARMS soon.

Well Mother's Basement made a video on if Avatar is an anime and all I said was enjoy the rage from 4chan and Reddit

Heh, reminds me how I pissed off everyone in a room

Me: At least it's accurate to the source material then
I'm good at this

Not watching Tri yet but I hope Meicoomon has a better Mega than Ultimate.

Meicrackmon's fur boobs are really off putting.

 

[Mythra]

2009 me was mad because we got a bunch of blue aliens instead of some sick airbending.

Then the plot twist came in 2010.

 

[Deleted member]

The thing is that in the perspective of westerners "anime" is more so of a general idea of certain characteristicstropes rather than anything specific.Though to me I still just define it as Japanese or east Asian animation just to keep things simple.

But luckily, I'm not a weeb, so I don't have to worry about any of this.

 

[Kurri ★]

In the end it's just more cartoons. Getting into heated debates about it is silly.

That said, I personally subscribe to "anime is a style" and not just purely in the visuals department, but in how everything is put together.

Haven't watched much of Avatar or Korra, but what I did, I personally would lean it closer to anime.

It wasn't animated in Japan and the Japanese (from what I recall) hates Avatar for personal reasons.

There's your answer.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I just define Avatar and Xiaolin Showdown (another Japanese-styled western cartoon) as fake anime.

Yeah, I would at least say that Avatar is anime style/inspired.

Though I've watched Basement's video and I have no idea why he consider SU an anime. The style is definitely western, even if it's a pretty recent style.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

The only western styled thing I call anime is Panty and stocking
I dont consider Avatar an anime

Spoiler

It is most likely BS. Taker/Roman is already very much set in stone and i'll eat a shoe if KO somehow miraculously gets out of Fastlane with the Uni title.

But that aside, i'd be super hyped for a card like this. The Crusierweights should defiantly have the ladder match spot on this year's card and the Wyatt triple threat should be THE main event, not Goldberg/Brock.

 

[Kurri ★]

That just seems like a silly reason though. GI Joe and Transformers were animated in Japan and I don't see anyone clamoring to call those anime.

There's also plenty of anime that's actually animated outside of Japan, such as being animated in China or Korea.

The argument that it "has to be from Japan" really doesn't add up once you really look into things.

Spoiler

-Yeah, I can't say I'm a fan of Yggdrasil's addition here either. Granted we still don't know too much about its role here, but considering the Adventure world did have some elements that they haven't explored yet like the Dark Ocean and Original Digidestined (the latter of which they do get to, but eh), I think its addition was unnecessary since you have a lot more things you could do for the story that doesn't evolve dipping into an overused villain. If they're doing something unique with its story though then I think I can get behind it, though I'll admit I have some skepticism around that.

-The Dark Masters thing was also disappointing, particularly since what made Machinedramon so memorable to me in the original season was that he was a clever tactician. He didn't play around when dealing with the kids, he plotted and planned to get them into a corner and then was completely ready to destroy them right then and there. Here? He's just rampaging like a random MotW and gets demolished by the three Megas.

As for Part 5, I love the poster. I'm not sure how I feel about Meicoomon's Mega Evolution yet, but I've always liked Ophanimon Falldown Mode and I'm glad to see it get some love in the movie (especially since it seems Kari isn't in the best of moods based on that poster). As for her Mega, I've heard that there are some inconsistencies with the merchandise vs. what happens in the movies proper, so it could just be that the movies decided to go a different route and are using Ophanimon (which would fit since like Vikemon, it took over as Gatomon's Mega since it's debut), or they're just have the purified form be Magnadramon.
