I mean like I said, there are others that would be cool. Cinderace, Dragapult, Obstagoon, there are tons of options. I do think Tox has a real good shot though.

...assuming there are first parties.
Y'know, if there was any sort of chance of us getting another Pokemon for DLC, I would want it to be like Mewtwo and bring in the first Mythical Pokemon into the roster. I've been leaning towards Zeraora and Melmetal for something like this.

...or the unrevealed gen 8 mythical they’ll shill in the movie and’ll be in the D/P remakes.

Hey y'all wanna see a really lame take:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The fact there are people who actually care how others play their games really is a testament to how people take the medium too dang seriously.
damn it's not my fault the developers of ninja gaiden spammed enemies solely to overpower you on purpose so you would spend a longer amount of time "beating" the game in one sitting

I think it may be postgame only.

edit: though I’m not 100%

i understand mike's point and frustration, but the modern luxury of rewind allows me to actually play the game instead of something modern and objectively better than NES jank

You ever walk into a room and people are talking at acceptable indoor volume but you still tell them to be quiet because they're too loud to you?

"Hello Ralsei, how are you?"

"Be quiet."

Poke Balls feel so much like they were on the backburner this time that I'd laugh if we get a Poke Ball promoted before an AT.

Man, it's really been one of those weird ass days today. It's like it didn't even exist.

Tomorrow I got to work, so at least I have that to look forward to.

Even though its gonna be as dead as the horses we tend to beat around here. :V

I don't mind if people use rewind but speaking as someone who's beaten the NES SMario Bros, DK, LoZ and Zelda 2, you're not getting the same experience by rewinding. Old school games forced you to grind until you got good.

I think only certain dens can spawn them which you can find on serebii. I’m not sure though. You could also use the raid exploit to make one spawn in faster.

Zelda II is beyond tough as nails. It's extremely unfair with its design. Grinding is mostly useless due to some areas of the game being near impossible.

Practice makes perfect doesn't account for bad game design. That only works for habit-based gameplay. Super Mario Bros. has everything happening in a clear pattern that always goes off. It's easy to get better through repetition. Not every game will be like that. Some are just way more difficult and require godly-like reactions at times. There's a reason I can't get anywhere in Zelda II. The game is simply too hard for me as is. But it also has a lot of poor design points, though a cool game and all.

I agree that there is virtue and value to finishing an difficult game without using any alternatively easier methods to get there, but many people have their own reasons for taking shortcuts, and some only use them for when they absolutely think it's appropriate. Maybe they found ONE certain segment that was too unfair and time-consuming, and they couldn't beat that one segment no matter how many hours, days, or weeks they tried, so they rewinded/used a savestate, ONCE. "Oh, but they didn't REALLY beat the game". While it may be cool with some people to grit their teeth and finish a specific level with no strings attached, certain peeps aren't the same way, and it's by no means always the case that they're just "inferior players". There's a ton of subjective leeway to this, and just because you feel that the victory isn't "earned", doesn't mean you should forego the context and reasoning why many other people feel that theirs are valid.

I look at it this way; give it your all. If that's enough, which is the case for some, methods like these are fine. As long as you gave it a good try, it doesn't matter what you do afterwards.

There's a lot of games I couldn't beat and don't mind firing up a cheat device for. I always try to beat 'em without one first and foremost. In most cases, I have beaten 'em(not necessarily got everything, but generally beat the final boss, etc.) In some cases, grinding can be too tedious. Sonic Battle is a slog to grind in. I already beat every challenge bar the Training one in Emerl's story(and that's even tougher than Zelda II, to be frank), so I don't feel bad using it to make things faster. Core thing I have on is "press Select to KO player 2, 3, 4". But infinite health and ichikoro gauge helps too. Though that's just one game I properly beat in the first place. I didn't even get as far on SM64, which I need 7 more stars. I made sure it's saved onto a device so I can make sure my actual cartridge has that saved until I fully beat it. It was fun seeing the message, but I reset my cartridge soon after.

It turns out that merch for the Sonic movie still uses the original bad design, it was that far in production that the merch couldn't be salvaged.

So, I think this FINALLY puts the nail in the coffin of that conspiracy theory that said the original design was all just a publicity stunt to feed off of outrage and gain fan sympathy

I mean, tbf, in Super Metroid, I did kinda abuse the Rewind gimmick, but that's mostly because I didn't want to have to take a minute or two to get back to where I was from the checkpoint when I can just basically reset myself exactly where I wanted to be. It's the same experience of learning through your mistakes, but less time-consuming.

I understand it seems less authentic than playing by the game's own rules, but also, those rules kind of have always sucked and been a drag in every other game like them. Besides, it makes those games more accessible as a whole to people this way. The game doesn't get any easier, but the timespan of dying and coming back to a point of death to hopefully learn from your past is now practically null so that way any impatient people may not drop those games with those abilities now given to them.

And even despite using this "cheese" I was still able to experience the game and enjoy it as my first ever Metroid title. So the core gaming experience of actually having fun isn't lost, so don't demean people for using such features simply because they're there and accessible--it's their right to play the game however they want. And ultimately, you don't have to make the choice of using them if you don't want to, and that's the beauty of game design (or in this case, the quality of life features they added to the emulators).

Watched the new Steven Universe episodes. They are good but I don’t know how I feel overall about each episode seemingly a one and done deal for the storyline

And as of this thread, I may have my next plushie in mind to look out for. Thank you, Monkey D Lenny.

Oh, forgot SU had new episodes. ****.

I'm also curious what the Gen 8 mythical will be. We haven't had an Ice, Poison, Ground, Flying, or Dragon type mythical 'mon yet, so hopefully it'll be one of those three or maybe two of those.

Given trends, though, Steel, Psychic, and Fairy are used a lot for Mythical 'mon. A Steel Dragon given the region seems fitting but that's too cool for GF to do.

BOTW baby! my personal favorite of the bunch

Odyssey can be beaten in under 2 hours and is super easy to beat (around 5-10 sittings even for an ultra-casual playthrough) so I would save that one for later.

After seeing all the episodes so far I think that this tweet is absolutely going to be what happens In Steven u inverse future:

Steven is going watch as everyone in his life moves by. I think this is how wormy boy happens, Stevens going to corrupt himself and when the last beings left( the diamonds) neglect him for spinel; he’s going to breakdown.

This could be one hell of a rollercoaster for Steven at the very least.

And holy **** why is it so relatable?

As someone who tends to enjoy playing games as originally designed (so only using save systems if they are part of the original game), Mike Matei can **** off. Who gives a **** if someone says they beat a game while using external tools. Unless it's their job in some form like as a reviewer or as part of a competition, it has no effect on anybody, shelve your ego god damn.
