Found out that my order for DVD/Blu-Ray of Detective Pikachu has been canceled and don't see anyway of fixing it (I ordered it at a huge discount on Black Friday). That was supposed to be a Christmas gift for one of my brothers.

At least I can still give him his other gift: Untitled Goose Game.

Woah woah hold on, did I miss something?

It seems as if Creatures, Inc. was removed from Game Freak's website, or at least they're not calling them a major partner.

so basically, say bye bye to Creatures Inc.

That’s.... not who I wanted to see kicked off Pokémon.

That’s odd, I wonder why?

 

[Z25]

That’s odd, I wonder why?

Probably because of all the modeling and animations complaints. Either Nintendo or Pokémon stepped in and said it’s time to make changes. Sword and Shield may be the fastest selling but that doesn’t mean it meant it’s desired sales numbers. So seeing all the online outrage probably forced someone’s hand to make a move

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Or maybe it’s an accident due to a website redesign.

 

[Lamperouge]

Wait, what's this I hear about Monsters Inc. separating from Pokemon?

Who's gonna supply the Pokemon cries/screams now?

They don’t do that anymore, they supply laughs now.

That's kinda what I said, too. And a redesign would fit perfectly into the context.

perhaps but that fact this comes after a big outrage over models and the site is getting redesigned kinda gives good weight that they are intentionally being removed and we will learn more in future. Could go either way. I don’t remember them ever having ownership rights though. Which to be frank Pokémon company could easily remove them from it if they wanted, although they probably is unlikely

who would you want kicked off, anyway? Outside of Nintendo, I mean. Because we all know how you used to feel bout Nintendo.

What about Joker's neutral special?

Had a feeling. After all, Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures own the Pokémon IP evenly at 33-33-33.

I will not deny the possibility that for whatever reason they were removed from the series. But they’re still part of the TCG, they co own the series, and imo it’s more likely that it’s simply an error than an act of retribution for their crimes against r/ Pokémon.

Who owns that remaining 1%?

Spoiler: Unless...

The Regginator will be at The Game Awards

Curious what he's doing there since he's no longer a Nintendo employee.

It says right there, he's a presenter.

I want to change my avatar to a Christmas one but the site isn't allowing me.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

New Nindie showcase!
-snip-

Kay yeah, I'm pretty much convinced Smash'll be at the Game Awards, assuming a regular direct ain't happening anytime soon

I am proud to announce that the indie game I voice in is coming to the Nintendo Switch. /s

'Aight, got a quick question here.

Gonna start a Lightlock (WoL nuzlock for those who don't know) in just a minute here but I'm trying to get some rules written down. So far, I'm feeling this:

-Obviously, character permadeath.
-Run is over if all characters die.
-At the beginning, I'm gonna leave it to chance to determine which of the three characters after Mario I go for.
-Gonna do it on a separate Smash save so that I don't have my main WoL file spirits to fall back on.

Not gonna do spirit permadeath like I previously tried because IMO that's just stacking the cards against you in a mode where literally all the cards imaginable are stacked against you already. So, my question to people here is...

What do I do with DLC fighters? Alpharad outright banned them in his Lightlock, but I'm not gonna lie, not having access to Banjo and Joker would kinda suck for me, so what's everyone's thoughts on this? Anyone got any interesting ideas how to work them into a run without feeling like a crutch? Only idea I got so far is the option to only pick one of them randomly like a Pokemon starter.

Most of this is pretty fair, but r Pokémon wasn’t even close to the only outcries.

Every Nintendo tweet was filled with n thing but toxic people and hatred. Thousands of replies over the game and all negative in the name of being back the National dex and more.

Hell there was a worldwide hastag that Gamefreak lied. To downplay the controversy by just saying it was one reddit forum is a big understatement. It was a huge issue that will certainly impact the future one way or another

Would you actually know if the game you voice in is ported to the Switch, or is it something you're not privy too until it gets officially revealed?

Personally I’d allow the dlc characters in my own personal run, mostly because I feel like I’d get my **** rocked and I need the back up. I don’t think it’d ruin anything if you used them, especially cuz you’ll be losing a ton of characters anyway.

I think best way to do DLC fighters:

You can only use them if you have no other characters left, as a kinda failsafe. So they kinda just jump in at the last moment to save the day.

I know

It was a joke

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Correct me if Im wrong but just because Creatures is still on for TCG duty, doesnt mean they are still on video game duty. Guess we'll see when the next pokemon game comes out a year from now

Maybe use them, but not at the same time?

Say, PP becomes accessible after 10 unlocks, but Joker is in with 20. unlock and so on.

Yeah, that's a good point. WoL is 10 times crueler than any Pokemon nuzlock imaginable, which is why you really don't gotta go much further than the initial two steadfast rules of a nuzlock to make it a crazy hard run.

I think best way to do DLC fighters:

You can only use them if you have no other characters left, as a kinda failsafe. So they kinda just jump in at the last moment to save the day.

I've seen this idea, and I kinda like it. Might go with this one.

If it did, I wouldn’t know until it was officially revealed. The dev never tells team members about anything that hasn’t been revealed publicly yet, to avoid having anybody spill the beans. The only things I get to know about before hand is what audio my character has. Since the character I voice is the main playable character, I would know if he needed a voice line for the trailer or something like that.

So basically;

No, but actually Yes(if only images weren't broken)

Ooooh, that's a really cool idea too! Basically treats them the same as base game character additions in WoL because it'll space how often you pick them up.

Well, it’s more like “No but maybe yes.”

I can't wait for Reggie Fils-Aime to finally announce Mother 3's Western localization and Waluigi for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch system.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Either Game Freak or The Pokémon Company. One of them needs to fall out of the model. Game Freak could make very good pokémon games without TPC’s strict mandates. But on the flip side, there are other devs who could better handle The Pokémon Company’s deadlines (like Square Enix or Atlas).

Reggie will announce Reggienator 2: Judgement Day.

Instead of Nintendo stuff, it will feature indie stuff.
