That Pokemon Masters trailer reminded me how much I like Rosa.

...Yeah.

 

[---]

There are so many memorable characters that were used for a single game then dropped, so I'm pretty excited for Masters too.

They actually brought back Kris. That alone has me sold. I just hope we can also get the original designs for older characters.

Speaking of which, do you guys remember that one Pokemon game that had gameplay similar to Fire Emblem? I forgot it's name.

Pokemon Conquest. Was a Nobunaga's Ambition crossover.

 

[DevaAshera]

Nice work.

DMC2 is the worst game but has the best Dante design.

Thanks. I can't agree that DMC2 has the best design (I love the DMC1 look, I even have a full pleather cosplay of it in my closet), but it is a good design. I wanted to include it, but I went with the three more popular games..that said, replacing DMC4 with DMC2 would be fine since DMC4 is my least favorite Dante design...and honestly, it would probably be better to look more different.

You're very brave for throwing Don'te in there. Takes a whole lot of guts to to even murmur a reference to a game as divisive as DmC. You have my honest compliments.

DmC was a fun game with a terrible story and characterization.
That said, having a recolour using the DmC Dante colours on the actual Dante, particularly DMC5's, actually looks pretty good. I mean, Capcom themselves did it twice now with DMC4:SE and DMC5.
I will admit, I didn't make that DmC recoloured rendered of DMC5 Dante, that's the actual render for the Alternate Costume for Dante.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

@GothFluttershy I've noticed that you have returned. How's it going?

I have also nearly completed True Pacifist a 2nd time. Will be watching the end credits soon.

 

[Aurane]

Dude. Pokemon Masters looks ****ing sick.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Guys, hear me out, what if Nintendo put in a Pokemon Trainer to promote Pokemon Masters.

I'm thinking... Red? And Leaf can be an alternate costume! Sounds cool, huh?

Is he supposed to capture other fighters and take control over them? Sounds lame anyway, Mewtwo should be the only Pokemon rep.

 

[DevaAshera]

Crystal's back?! Oh god yes! I have always, ALWAYS hated that she was replaced with Lyra in HeartGold/SoulSilver. Along with Dawn, Crystal is tied for my fav trainer design!

Did somebody say ENCORE? :3
I can be here for about another hour but after that i'm gone until August for real, unless circumstances permit otherwise. :3

I would be celebrating this deeply if I didn't got an amount of nerves due to my day at the academy today and the nerves my mother is giving me.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I feel like the National Dex thing on social media is people being angry, with no offer of how to fix the problem.

This is similar to quite a few social media outcries.

I am disappointed by it myself, but it’s an unfortunate reality. If Game Freak plunked in the same models, same animations, and what not of all Pokémon, fans would be just as upset that Game Freak did THAT. It’s a lose lose, and fans make it that way.

I hope they update it over time. But i’m not going to harass game developers over something in a $60 game I want to play. There are students I teach whose families can’t afford a single console, let alone eat breakfast once every two days.

There are worse things going on than not having every digital monster in the world. Remember that.

 

[Deleted member]

@GothFluttershy I've noticed that you have returned. How's it going?.

Going good, although I haven't really "returned." it's only for another 45 minutes, and then I'm gone again until August, unless circumstances permit otherwise. :3

 

[BlueMonk]

Mewtwo should be the only Pokemon rep.

That's a hot take, want to explain that?

 

[Cosmic77]

:D I totally agree! (xD Is it just me, or when the moment I saw Zacian I thought of Sif the Great Gray Wolf from Dark Souls because it is an awesome looking wolfie with a sword?)

Nah, it's not just you. Lots of people have been comparing Zacian to Sif.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I don’t like the “Fix” animations for Sword and Shield; please don’t make Wingull move its wings like other birds, it’s not supposed to move its wings like other birds, just make them tilt slightly up and down.

 

[Deleted member]

Would be amazing if more cool surprises happened and you stayed here for a longer time you or I could expect.

But yeah, we can only wait and see if we get lucky again.

 

[Guynamednelson]

That's a hot take, want to explain that?

I was sarcastic. I actually was excited for the return of PT and Pichu, so why would I actually just want Mewtwo?

 

[Gyrom8]

anything that breaths eh?

Clearly we need Sir Daniel Fortesque! sure he uses a sword, but he's undead so he doesn't need to breath.

Or Aegislash, which is literally a sword and is ghost type, so probably doesn't do a whole lot of breathing either

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Anybody been to a convention before? I haven't been to one in a few years, too bad I didn't create a new cosplay this time. All day yesterday I was helping my brother set up his vendor booth at a local con, so I'm dead tired today.

 

[Deleted member]

Why not add Fortesque in Soul Calibur?

 

[Iridium]

Now I wonder if Game Freak will remember to add a Ghost Girl cameo again. Probably, but I'd like if it was just as eerie as X & Y did it.

:D I totally agree! (xD Is it just me, or when the moment I saw Zacian I thought of Sif the Great Gray Wolf from Dark Souls because it is an awesome looking wolfie with a sword?)

It's a been a while since I last saw you here. While I'm on the Zacian train myself, I'm going to feel bad if Zamazenta just gets left behind. But I can't resist seeing swords.

Dude. Pokemon Masters looks ****ing sick.

Yeah, I was pretty much sold once I saw Steven.

 

[Aurane]

Zacian is Sif. I dont know what you guys are talking about.

 

[BlueMonk]

especially dumb since wingull's never flapped its wings a lot

It just bothers me how people can't seem to find anything about Sword and Shield that's worth being optimistic about. All I see is, "No National Dex, terrible graphics, and Dynamax Battles suck! Canceling pre-order!"

We've barely scratched the tip of the iceberg with this game. At least try reserving your judgement until we get a few more trailers that show us more Pokemon, more of the story, the towns, and more new features.

 

[Deleted member]

My favourite Ghost encounters from the whole Pokémon series are the ones in Platinum and the third Rangers game (Guardian's Sign was the english name I think?)

I went to E3 last year with almost the sole purpose of playing Ultimate early. It was a fun experience but probably not one I'll be doing again any time soon.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I have once again completed the True Pacifist ending in Undertale...and all is well in the world. Gonna stop here. The characters finally have their closure, and it'll stay that way this time.

Now I gotta try Deltarune.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Or Aegislash, which is literally a sword and is ghost type, so probably doesn't do a whole lot of breathing either

I thought about actually mentioning Aegislash, but since he has a mouth to eat poketreats in the Amie, I wasn't exactly sure if he needs to breath of not.

 

[Arcanir]

Speaking of which, do you guys remember that one Pokemon game that had gameplay similar to Fire Emblem? I forgot it's name.

I do, Conquest was one of my favorite Pokemon spinoffs. I was always disappointed they never revisited the concept.

 

[TheMightyP]

This whole National Dex issue just living evidence that Game Freak needs to get with the times and actually communicate with their audience. Almost every other major studio acknowledges the fans issues, even if it's nothing more than "We hear your concerns, stay tuned for more", (Heck, even Nintendo themselves address issues) but Gamefreak just stays silent, which does not fly in 2019 where communication is key.

 

[Z25]

Something I noticed from the far from home post credit scenes rumor:

Spoiler

In one of the tv spotlights there’s the scene with peter asking about the other heroes, and when he mentions captain marvel, nick fury says don’t invoke her name.

This is a really odd reaction but makes much lore sense if he’s a skrull. They respect captain marvel above all else for saving them so them not thinking she needed to be involved here or that peter was I guess worthy enough to talk about her.

This also adds up with the reviews saying you will need to rewatch this one to notice little things you didn’t before. This could also explain the twist tom holland mentioned where he asked the director if that was alright to include. Either way thought that was an interesting detail.

[Rie Sonomura]

Who do you guys actually think the last two DLC characters will be? Me I personally see it two ways.

Lloyd Irving and RE rep.

or

Nightmare and Crash.

Though given some of the newcomers and DLC characters so far were a result of the Smash Ballot. Part of me feels we might get Geno especially if we don't get a Season 2 Pass.

A Bandai Namco rep and a Nintendo rep of an already represented series. Still sticking to my KOS-MOS & Elma claim.

I really hope your right. I want Elma badly. More so then Nightmare and Crash.

KOS-MOS would be welcoming too. Two another female reps and one that's 3rd party to boot.

A lot of people have been using this gif to exaggerate how bad Sword and Shield's animations are.



People should know by that Bunnelby in the background that this isn't just Game Freak slapping Wingull in with a T-pose. That's literally how they fly.

 

[Deleted member]

god ****
i know that Firestar x Sandstorm is Canon but

wingull would look even dumber if it was flapping those big wings around all the time anyways

I don't care too much about Wingull's animation, put I'd prefer relaxed flapping rather than no flapping at all. Mainly I find it weird that they're so close to the ground in the first place.

 

[Z25]

Watch the Pokémon masters trailer. Looks good, and:

The bad guy looks like hunter j. Which would be cool but probably isn’t the case

I'll agree that I'd prefer a relaxed flapping too, but I don't think what they went with is bad. The Wingull still tilts and floats around while it moves, just like it did before.

As for why it's so close to the ground, I guess they couldn't think of a way for the player to engage in battle if it were any higher.
