Oddly enough, wasn't there a Pokemon character who did switch genders between the JP dub and English dub in the Pokemon anime? One of the Team Rocket members from one of the Pokemon specials? They were male in the original JP dub, but became female in the English dub.
I might remember something like that. If it was a character that appeared in one episode, then it probably wasn't that hard to work around. I don't think it would be that hard to make Allister a girl in the anime either, but that's assuming they appear only a few times. If Allister were one of Ash's traveling companions or become a recurring character like most of SuMo's cast, it might be a bit tough.

Oh.

Well, y'all have a nice day.

At the same time, most people refer to Frisk as a she.
While most people may, from what I know, the character was designed to be intentionally androgynous, so that people can see themselves in Frisk. To imply there's a right way to refer to Frisk's gender seems to defeat the purpose.

Can't wait to see those if a Breath of Fire character does get in a Vs. Capcom game at some point. Too bad Nina never became a thing in MvCi after being rumoured. But it's not surprising to see them stop after the first couple characters due to MvCi's poor presentation. Now it's another waiting game and that's if any BoF characters are even looked at after Breath of Fire 6.

Although I will admit that one of the good things about Breath of Fire 6 was Ryu's design. Now that was a fantastic design for him compared to his BoF 5 look.
What Breath of Fire 6? It stopped with Dragon Quarter silly.

Honestly, even if everyone complained about a BoF character I'd be ecstatic. BoF3 was one of my favorite RPGs on the Playstation, so I would've liked to have seen a character from the series (Nina or otherwise) get in. I just hope that the next game will break the series' bad luck streak with crossovers as they seem to have a terrible time with getting past the conceptual stage (IIRC, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom also glossed over them).

Yep, Hun in the Raikou special, though according to Bulbapedia Maddie Blaustein said it was a mistake in translation rather then an intentional change.

You sure worded that better than I did.

You remember the people who deleted their account due to the Grinch being false?

Does anyone know where they're at now? Looking back at it, betting an entire account on something not very major in the long run doesn't seem healthy in the slightest, so I hope they're ok.

People actually did that? That's a bit much over a leak.

It makes sense if you think about it.

They made accounts for the grinch, they lost their accounts for the grinch.

still not sure if the week of grinch was the funniest or worst thing to ever happen to the wider smash community, disregarding the cluster**** that is the competitive scene

maybe it was both at once

Sabi can't leak anything Nintendo anymore, and Vergeben I'm pretty sure has a taken a bow. I can't think of any other credible Smash leakers, so even if some rando on 4Chan happens to post an accurate leak, we wouldn't know likely. Even a video can be faked since modding is rampant.
There's the VRPlant, he(?) has a 100% track record so far.

I don’t even get why the person who made it did it. Like, Omni faked Rayman so he could launch Smashified. What does this person get for doing the Grinch leak?

It was nuts for sure...

Lot's of nasty users and mean spirited fan art left and right

It only lasted a week but it legit felt like an eternity.

The thrill from knowing his fake leak was so believable that he was able to convince more than 70% of the people on this thread (yes, there was a poll) that we were getting Geno and Issac over the Pokemon who "stole" Decidueye's spot.

Most of those tended to be newer users so there wasn't that much of a loss for them since at best they were only here for a week. Also, a fair chunk of them contributed to the terrible nature of that period, so as harsh as it may be to say it was probably for the best they left if that was all they were here for in the first place.

I wasn’t really all too active during the week that the Grinch leak happened, but considering this community, I’m not all too surprised.

I'm just ****ing with you, no worries. Lol
Yeah I know. Not sure why I explained anyway.

I hold firmly to the theory that MarioTehPlumber was the one who orchestrated the entire thing.

Ah, so many smug assholes who mysteriously fell off the face of the earth after it turned out it was fake. I don't miss them.

A sad, sad place... may I have hugs? <3
You talking about what happened during the Grinch now? I mean, during the Grinch, I never got too involved with the discussions, I mostly watched from the sidelines as everyone ripped each other apart...

It was fun to watch. :p
...If a bit upsetting at points. Near the end of it, I just wanted all of the arguing to stop.

I still think the Grinch leak is real and that we just have to wait a bit for the Grinch to bless us with his fabled fighters

I never really chose a side during the Grinch Leak era, honestly. I don’t with most leaks unless I am confident that it’s fake.

The same color as Smashboard’s background.
