Confirmed, Ash's Incineroar will have a stupid hairdo to differentiate himself.

Then it will be given out as a limited time “Ash’s Incineroar” event for Gen 8, perhaps for pre-ordering or playing the demo.

 

[PLATINUM7]

All I want is a Let's Go version of Gen 2 with Sneasel on the cover.

Come at me, Pokemon nerds.

That's not Sudowoodo

 

[KarneraMythos]

Tbh, I've seen a lot more Incineroar fans/supporters who are pretty chill. Maybe it's just the 2-3 here that frequent this board, but I can think of way worse character fandoms who get off on other people's characters not being playable.

 

[Aurane]

I want it to be Stantler so everyone remembers how long they ended up forgetting it.

How could you forget a face like that?

 

[Noipoi]

That's not Sudowoodo

Sudowoodo is the other version.

 

[Bionichute]

anyway one of the reasons i like yokai watch more than pokemon is because no one in the fandom complains about the goofy designs i like unlike with pokemon. the pokemon fandom is incredibly toxic when it comes to which designs are "correct to like. lucario's steady decline in popularity is one of the few things that brings me joy

but yeah in yokai watch i can like the bear that eats poo and there are also other people who like the bear who eats poo, i can barely get away with liking garbodor in the pokemon fandom even though he is objectively the best pokemon

 

[staindgrey]

Why would I come at you that's a good idea.

Oh, are we not collectively hating on Let's Go anymore?

Because I actually really liked it. Maybe it should've been $40 like every other Pokemon game, but enjoying the aesthetics without the unnecessary grind was actually fantastic for an adult with too much **** to do in the day.

It'll be the opposite of spiky ear pichu and be incineroar with a bowl-cut.

 

[Icedragonadam]

So a new stat revealed for the Brave character is that he's shorter than Luigi. No doubt it's Erdrick. He's going to use his classic chibi style for the game, unless it's slime.

I love the UI and quality of life stuff.

Battling wild guys may still need to be a thing but I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would.

Just to play devil's advocate:

Aren't all the Bravely Default characters also short?

 

[Aurane]

Oh no, we still are. Get back in your corner.

lets go has stuff going for it but it needs a lot of tweaking before i consider actively calling it good. like it needs to not be so handholdy and maybe not cut out bikes for no reason?

Let's Go was announced at the exact wrong time for me. It looked weird, I didn't like Pokemon Go, and my real life was spiraling out of control. I may have projected some of my anger at real life issues onto this game...

After playing it, it wasn't that bad. I had fun, it was cute. I'm way more excited for the actual new generation but I don't regret playing it.

So yeah, we're leaving Let's Go hate in 2018.

Either that, or...

The Bravely Default models are small and chibi, aren't they...
Gentlepanda , your dreams are still (kinda) alive, by some miracle

 

[staindgrey]

Oh no, we still are. Get back in your corner.

Fine. I can tell when I'm not wanted.

Let's go, Eevee.

 

[Deleted member]

the "you're gonna have a bad time" thing in toon link's tips was there since smash 4, well before undertale came out, and is most likely a reference to south park

so shut up about it ive heard it a lot and it actually means nothing

'S a joke.

No one actually thinks it confirms anything.

Definitely another child Link. Definitely...

I laughed.

...

I'm gonna go die now.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Pokemon Let's Go! Ditto

Let's Go! doesn't feel too hand-holdy imo, well other than nearly all of the beginning's trainers having one pokemon and you'll probably never run out of any pokeballs (other than the Master Ball of course ), but it's pretty good imo.

Come at me Gen 1 hatersssss.

 

[Bionichute]

Either that, or...

The Bravely Default models are small and chibi, aren't they...

i mean they only look like that with the models in game and not in official art

bit of an inversion with erdrick where his original official art was chibi and then he was changed to be more adult. and also slime has always been short

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Definitely another child Link. Definitely...

Original NES Link?

 

[Noipoi]

That's good, the other Erdrick is...not my favorite...

I do.

Not really. Sans is still in though.

 

[Aurane]

Then you all better shut the hell up and accept the Linkageddon.

 

[RandomAce]

Y’all arguing about Gen 7, after Incineroar’s reveal? Lol.

Hot take, all of the arguements involving the anime (despite the points for Incineroar being flawed), concept art, etc. Didn’t matter in the end. The only reason why Incineroar is in Smash is because “I really wanted to work on a wrestler esque character”.

That’s it. You can’t bring up how more “detailed” the concept art was for the starters or other characters because Sakurai confirmed that he picked the Gen 7 character during S/M’s release. You can’t really bring up the anime or it’s appearance in the movies since in he didn’t end up looking for that in the end either, and even then Incineroar’s only main appearance was in the I Choose You Movie (I watched the whole anime and Incineroar only really has more major appearances in TWO episodes, and Ash hasn’t went back to his Torrocat 50 episodes back except for small appearances).

The thing that was tipping point was that Sakurai wanted to make a Wrestler character. We don’t really know if Sakurai didn’t end up wanting to go with the others, or if he actually did wanted to work on the other options available. But what we do know is that he saw Incineroar being a wrestler and took the opportunity.

Can’t really blame if that’s he wanted to do.

Finally finished this piece of **** that is my avatar.

Either that, or...

I'm gonna lose my mind if it's Slime. I honestly think Slime would be way more interesting than Erdrick, mostly because no other character in the game would play like him. Erdrick on the other hand would be a mix of Link and Robin at best. If it's Erdrick, I hope Sakurai uses his magic and makes him truly unique. Uniqueness is the theme of the DLC after all.

 

[Icedragonadam]

But if it's indeed Erdrick's classic art style. Doesn't that damage that rumor of him having alt costumes of the Luminary and such. Because alt costumes are suppose to have the exact same proportions as the default character. Luminary from what I've seen in his design, is taller than Erdrick.

Spoiler: Final Capcom rep confirmed.

its either that or all the rumors about erdrick are false and its slime

Joke's on you, I like the Oracle games.

So do I?

...

Wait. There are people who didn't?

 

[Noipoi]

Whenever I play Dr. Mario I find myself wondering who cooked this ****ing rice, and calling people "Egg Foo-Dumb".

Whoever gets this reference gets a cookie.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Finally some Oracles representation. It was nice to see the animal companions as spirits but this is next level.

 

[Aurane]

So do I?

There shouldn't be. I killed off the last of them last summer.

Honestly I feel the game has some good ideas but its still weird in some ways and feels...off to me. Like I get removing abilities and EVs(I think?) to make things less complicated but why then do we still have IVs and natures, both of which makes things more complicated while the former is also invisible to the player despite having a large effect on the pokemon themself.
Being able to customize your starter and pokemon following is great to have back but your start is made to be stupidly OP which makes players rely on it even more so than usual.
The removal of battles completely outside legends and trainers feels kind of bad to me as its something I enjoyed about the series. Gyms requiring you to fulfill a condition to fight in is weird too to me. I get the point of it but like with Brock the game specifically gives your OP start the ability to learn Double Kick before the gym which means you would be more than well enough equipped but still requires a water or grass type in the party to even compete in it.

Love pokemon appearing in the overworld though.

Overall the game is enjoyable imo but it seems a bit confused on what it should be. It being yet another run through Kanto doesn't help things considering how much lip service that region has been getting the last few gens.

 

[Masked Marshmallow]

Trust me or not, I've met people that hate the top down style Zelda games. Thank god I never saw them again.
