to be fair, if you wern't a hardcore Pokemon fan, you probably wouldn't be aware that Lucario is part Steel type just by looking at it's design alone.

I doubt mr affleck isn’t someone heavily involved in Pokémon. He seemed to have access to a lot of it if not the game itself considering they mentioned enjoy al they’ve gotten to see, and didn’t plan on leaking it originally. They very likely work on these games in some shape of form and if he has enough knowledge to distinguish the other types of the starters, I’m sure he knows his facts.

nothing about the affleck leak was blatant speculation, he fully knew everything he said was right. There is no way he would be wrong on the typings

How Could a fire steel type possible resemble a fighting steel type, or even a fighter in general?
This feels like a very unlikely outcome

The collage leak didn't say RabbitRabbit looked like Lucario, just that they both don't look like steel types but somehow are. Learn to read

All I care about those talk of censoring female design is whatever or not the girls got their abs censored or not if they have one.

'cuz let me tell ya, if that get censored, then we truly live a in a society.

yeah so Hop already has a Wooloo with him before getting a starter alongside you, so I'm not sure if he just pulls out the birb and leaves Wooloo out of the battle or not if the leak is real.

Mr affleck has seen the final form for scorbunny, he just didn’t know it’s name. He says it looks like a fighting type, but isn’t.
Given the fire and fighting looks it be pretty hard to justify the leaker thinking affleck mistook a fire and steel type for for a fighting and fire type!

Spoiler: leeks

Didn't the leaker say the final evolution had metal boots/feet or something? The Affleck leaker probably didn't see or remember the typing and didn't make the connection with the feet if he even remembered the exact design, since he only remembered "it looks like a fighter, but isn't".

Type combinations don't have set design intricacies.
Incineroar is Fire/Dark even though it also passes as a Fighting type easily as proven by many people's reactions before we knew the actual typing.

You should have faith in yourself.

Something something ignore button exists.

Japan has "We love the main character" syndrome and Dimitri is unquestionably the main lord.

Isn't it Edelgard? And by that logic, you can chalk up her popularity as US having "we love antagonists" syndrome.

 

[Double K]

Companies wouldn't have to """"censor"""" a character's design if they could give the character a design that wouldn't have to be """"censored"""" in the first place.

(Pssst, in case you're unaware, multiple quotations like that are used as an anti-semitic dog whistle)

Different countries have different sensibilities. NMH1 was actually gored up for the west because things like that are unacceptable in Japan. Violence, sexuality, imagery, religion are all arbitrarily adjusted depending on what nation you're in.

I had interest. But censorship killed it. Same teason why i did not buy so many wii u games. I would have loved fatal frame wii u. But they censored it. Like we are children. But seems some people are fine with that.

I mean, from how you're acting, you are a child.

That’s not even close to what I was saying. People were using lucario as an example of something that doesn’t look like a steel type, which honestly I’ve never gotten why.

those spikes and knuckles always screamed steel type to me and I played shinnoh when I was like 12. Not to mention the fact you get it in a mine.
My point is the affleck leaker knows fire fighting and as something people hated, but he reassured that it is pure fire. I really doubt he doesn’t know what he’s talking about there

That i am sure is not true. For one, you have a girlfriend. Means you are good with people. Look for success and you will find it. Sounds cliche , but little wins. That is what i do.

Yeah, Dimitri is designated main character while Edelgard is the one who gives the full story context.

I mean, going strictly by design, Decidueye doesn't really scream Ghost-type to me either. Or how Solgaleo, the literal sun Pokemon, isn't fire. And just earlier we had Fairy Psychic Ponyta. Basically, a Pokemon's type isn't always obvious at first glance.

Spikes are such a minor detail there that it's easily missed, not to mention Pokemon ALWAYS has weird typings. For example, why the actual **** is Necrozma not a rock type? It looks like a huge rock, it's based off of a prism rock, it learns rock moves like rock polish, but it isn't a rock

Yes but affleck said he physically saw what it looked like and it’s type.

also I see don’t get how people couldn’t tell from the incenroar concept art leak pretty much sold that it was dark type.

the scare of the fighting type came from people’s lack of faith in game freak imo rather then just the design. Because fire fighting was still a huge meme then

Better safe than sorry though.

That's true but when it comes to minors there really should be a limit no-one goes beyond.

The sun isn’t fire. It’s superheated plasma and gas. And it’s primary elemental component is iron.

I think Decidueye's ghost typing is based in folklore about stilt owls, the bird it's based on, but I'm too lazy to look it up

Decidueye's ghost typing is obvious when you're into animal taxonomy and ID the fact that the Rowlet line goes from common owl -> Endagered -> Extinct

SuMo's Pokemon design was on point for stuff like this

That one is actually kind of explained:

Like Deoxys it’s an alien that crashed into earth. It’s like a rock but it technically isn’t since it’s not from earth and Pokémon lines to put the space theme first above any other type.

plus it converts that light in psychic energy. I’d say it’s psychic over rock because alien, just like Deoxys. Although Deoxys doesn’t have any other type justifications to be fair.

All the Grass starters are based on extinct animals though, so it wouldn't be some big clue that it was part Ghost.

I'm glad that it was though, a legit swerve. Still my favorite Grass starter.

My opinion: If you want to have ridiculously skimpy outfits on the characters in your game or show, that's fine as long as it fits the character and narrative, e.g. Bayonetta, where it's appropriate for the story and person wearing it.

If you just throw skimpy outfits on characters for the sake of it, despite it not matching their personality or the story, then get out of here. The drama and emotions of a serious scene in a story are kind of difficult to take seriously when characters are standing around without any pants on and their cleavage being focused on. Looking at you Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and hundreds of other anime/anime games.

What.

So being a magical space rock means it's... Not a rock? It's a Pure Psychic, when it should be a Psychic Rock. It looks like a rock, it acts like a rock, it is a goddamned rock yet because it's from space it's no longer a rock? Nah chief this ain't it

This on top of the hood covering its face, and the Robin Hood inspiration. It conveys that they are a stealthy Pokémon that moves through shadows so they can’t be seen and their face must remain hidden to keep the stealth up.

pretty much everything about the design I love. It’s a great concept

I can agree with this. I saw tm:fe as an idol game. Which does that.

But that is a fair assessment.

Oh and extra content fan service i am fine with if can be toggled.

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

The starters. No spoiler needed. Just that I do not like what that Leak says the spoilers are.

Sorry bout that. I didn’t know your didn’t want to be spoiled.

Oh don't worry it's not that bad, i don't mind a few minor spoilers here and there.

But judging from your post it seemed pretty huge/controversial-ish so i'm not sure i want to know about it.

So yeah, going back to the shadows.

Poof!

To be fair, he only said Scorbunny is pure fire and didn't mention the evolutions' typings. He only remembered the names of every Sobble evolution, too, and didn't mention their typings nor Grookey's evolutions' names and typings.

Solrock, checkmate. I'm talking about Pokemon, not real life science and in such settings the sun is usually attibuted to fire. See Sunny Day, for example.

I think Decidueye's ghost typing is based in folklore about stilt owls, the bird it's based on, but I'm too lazy to look it up

That might bee true, but I'm talking about first glance here. I don't think a lot of people who see Decidueye for the first time will immediately think "that's a ghost, alright". Most people will just see it as a Grass/Flying type, like it's pre-evos, due to being a grassy owl.

Thank you Gwen, and thank you Opossum !

Pretty excited about certain things here...particular Pokémon being in the game that I formerly thought weren’t in...real happy.
