How's this help it? Also doesn't really matter because:

1) We have had vertified sources be wrong before and
2)



This is ******* happening baby! I'm hyped. That's a kick *** title for a game.
Also to my knowledge when they actually have an image like this, the trademarks are real. For example water blue is just the name( If I am correct). So this will be good.


Nah they are going to crash the sun into the Earth in Sun Version, and the Moon into the Earth in Moon version.

Basically it will be the majora's mask X Pokemon crossover we have all wanted:


Yeah, it's confirmed...

Also this is definitely happening guys:

But this is going to be pretty good!

Also Rainbow leak is Kill, this is two games.

And I still think we are getting gen 6.5, but the leaked list will be fake, but the game will be in a new region, but the plots could tie back to Kalos's story.
The games were just trademarked yesterday. It's possible that Rainbow WAS the codename for the project. Having a verified source makes if more likely to be true. Minecraft update was in his Wii U video (essentially not much left for Wii U).

Played some SPlatoon again.

Yep, only just a 'good' game for me. I blame the lame stage rotation... it's still fun but not as fun as it used to.

See the thing there is, they just make logos and names overnight. It's not like they would be going into this presentation with little knowledge on what the game would be like. This name had to be decided within the last month, if not earlier. Even then, it still leaves the leak in a worse position imo. Because if the leaker was truly right, they would know this. And again, the one thing people don't seem to get, is that the games should be way past the codename phase yet everyone was codenamed, which makes me doubt it more.

It's still possible, but I can't bring myself to believe it.

Also doesn't the leak say that it's a minecraft X Nintendo thing?


With him saying: "I don't know if this is a separate game, or an update" Which goes back to my point, of the leaker leaving way to many outs for himself. Also this update would still need to be a massive Nintendo content one, which if it's not, hurts the leak, unless we see a separate game for Minecraft X Nintendo.

Also, I hope you don't take offense to this, but I honestly think "verified" sources should be take with a grain of Salt.

Between Shovel Knight, Additional Wii U characters, Inklings, and more, I think we should realize, that sources that are trustworthy are not always right.

Either way as I said earlier I don't buy it, even if everything on the list "came true", it's to generic and predictable imo, and has a lot of inconsistencies. It could still be right, or it could be wrong. I think it shouldn't be held onto so firmly though.

To be fair, everything is more fun when it's new.

I mean, I had more fun with Smash when I was still unlocking characters and such.

I personally think it's also the attitude he generally has.

Every time someone goes into his favor, he brags about it. Now, that's not really a good sign as he seems to be wanting all the attention he can get. Which is why people make fake leaks in order to get a lot of attention.

Dr. Serkan Toto when he claimed that Smash was launching with the NX at least never really talked about the rumor until someone asked about it and doesn't even brag if people think he's right or wrong.

We'll just have to wait and see if this rumor pans out, but for right now I'll believe it when I see it.

The Gameboy and the Gameboy Color are largely considered the same system in the same way that the DS and DSi are, I feel Gen I and Gen II should be considered as being on the same system.
Gameboy color came out 9 years after the gameboy

I think that's a large enough gap that back then it was different gen

I think Gold and Silver were technically Gameboy games but they had extra functionality when used in the GBC. Kind of like Black 2 and White 2 were with Dream Radar.

I find it more fun now that I can play decently. XD. Also, I became competitive. Unlocking characters was just playing a lot of matches this time.

However, it's a really good start for the Splatoon franchise.

Okay so.
First of four reviews I'm doing for Fates.
1 - Conquest
2 - Birthright
3 - Revelations
4 - The full experience.

Because of this, shared bits such as the events up to Chapter 6, My Castle, and other generalities will only be handled at the end.
So, going off of what's "exclusive" to Conquest...

First off...
I have to really compliment the "1st Generation" units in Conquest.
I think it's the first time I've gone through a Fire Emblem title without hating some part of the roster. Everyone ranged from indifferent to some favorites of the series.

The Children... are about as mixed as Awakening. Ophelia and Soleil being pretty damn great. Velouria, Nina and Lutz being endearing in a kinda silly way. Seigbert and Ignatius being little spawns of their fathers. And that leaves Forrest who namely just... exists. And honestly kinda got screwed over in the localization in that the voice ruins the entire androgynous angle that his design is CLEARLY built around.

The mission objective variety largely is still either kill boss or route enemy but it keeps things a lot more lively and god do they step up the damn difficulty. To me, this is the second most challenging Fire Emblem story after Radiant Dawn. Once you hit Chapter 10, just about every chapter is a damn challenge. THOUGH MORE OF THEM ARE THROUGH GIMMICKS FOR ONE CHAPTER. INCLUDING RELIANCE ON THE DRAGON VEIN MECHANIC.

The story itself... really impressed me. I honestly kinda expected it to stick as the "dark" story. Explicitly evil. But the actual narrative being bearing the cross of the nation and Garon's orders as you try to find out what's really going on in the nation and causing the change from within to try to limit as much casualties as possible... it got to me more than I think any Fire Emblem story before.

However, as I stated, there is one "stupid" death that serves no special purpose to the story and really just comes off as a forcibly emotional scene which is very immersion-breaking when it's a unit that I had with nearly capped stats and over 50 HP dieing in a single hit from enemies I was clearing with relative ease throughout the chapter. Glaring things like this... I have to take a point off of because it really feels alienated from the story and the gameplay. -1 from the score.

Final Score of the Experience? I still give it a 8/10.

This to is something I dislike about them, and it leads me to believe this is an attention stunt. He could handle this better, and if this is real, he's screwed. If Nintendo took down a fake twitter account for leaking their next pokemon title, then you know this guy's going to get into some ****. They would deal with him very easily.

I agree though, but even If I see it, I won't believe it. Because the codnames are to vague and lead me to ignore it.

I've already made this comparison damnit
Where's my praise?

Oh boy, here we go

He doesn't like when people think he is a girl
He just wants to wear cute stuff and look good
His character is designed to subvert these kind of tropes
He isn't trying to "look like a girl"

Actually, from a thematic standpoint this makes perfect sense.

Hoshido is represented by the Dawn Dragon, while Nohr is represented by the Dusk Dragon.

The Hoshido verses of Lost In Thoughts All Alone is also associated with dawn and day, while the Nohr verses are associated with dusk and night.

They really do represent similar themes, even if by coincidence.

Got this image I've seen of FE Fates dialogue

Please someone tell me this character isn't written as horribly as this image implies.

This is not the first time i've seen a post of what seems like a really bad change out of context and the less I agree with TerrentialDownpour the better.

Still not as bad as the entirley silent C level conversation. And it's ok man, your allowed to think that some of the translation is crap without having to fervently support face touching.

Just finished Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (only released the 19th February here in Europe), rather timely considering tomorrow. Never played Gates of Infinity due to a lot of the criticism it got and its limited selection of starters, however I'm a massive fan of Rescue Team and especially Explorers so I was pretty hyped for this for quite some time and it really got me in the Pokémon mood again even before the Direct was announced.

Gameplay-wise it was by far the best installment yet, the dungeons weren't too long as they sometimes were in past games, the difficulty and the its curve was perfect, and a lot of the new mechanics like Alliance moves and Emeras really added to the gameplay (though I of course don't know whether they also were present in Gates of Infinity). The way you recruit new Pokémon is also a massive improvement from the past where it was simply grinding and getting lucky and I'll definitely pick the game up again once in a while to do some missions and recruit some of my favorite Pokémon.

Despite how great its gameplay was I found the story to be lacking though, which is unfortunate as that's been the main reason why I really liked the first two games. Half of the game takes place in Serene Village and the other half in Lively Town, during the Serene Village part it feels like so little happens for such a long time where as in the Lively Town part way too much happens in too little time, the first part drags and gets a bit boring where as the second part becomes incredibly convoluted, particularly towards the end. There were some really enjoyable characters that I'd have loved to see more of, but unfortunately since the game is split up in two parts the way it is we don't really get to know them all that well, so in the end I don't get as attached to them as I did in Explorers. Less time should have been spend in Serene Village so that the player wasn't rushed through the second part as quickly which is certainly the most important of the two, it makes little sense to me that it wasn't done like this from a gameplay perspective either as the core gameplay really only begins to go in full effect in Lively Town too.

Overall it's a pretty decent game, on a gameplay level it certainly eclipses Rescue Team and Explorers, but since the story is the main draw for me I'm not sure I'd rank it over either. Maybe level with Rescue Team but certainly nowhere near Explorers.

And yes, although late I joined the Pokémon avatar hype.

Frankly I still think the removal of Skinship was ridiculous.

I'm just worried because with the exception of Tharja (who I have started to view differently) and Miriel (of which I formed my opinion purely on her Kellam supports) I really liked Awakening's characters. They were a bit one sided some times but it was a quite enjoyable cast of characters.

Of all the lines i've seen (which is admittedly not man) the ratio of good to poor has been a bit too low or my liking, especially after hearing the cast was written much better than Awakening immediately following its Japanese release.

So what would be your reaction if Pokémon went back to another Fire/Fighting starter? :upsidedown:
I'd rather not... I like the different type combos they could do.

And sun and moon have been in front of us the whole time!

I dunno if she does or doesn't but the fact is that it fits
Wether you like it or not is irrelevant
I can't say if she's written well since I haven't used most of the children units
But the Fates cast is miles better than Awakening's
And considering the three best Awakening characters are in Fates too, it can't even compete

New Smashified is a Pokemon. Probably Sceptile.
Scaly (kinda?), learns Screech, Agility and numerous slash based attacks so it fits the criteria.
Well I hope Sceptile enjoys its remaining few months of popularity before new final Grass starter steals it all away. Assuming the Pokemon is even a little feasible for Smash.

Or relevant really assuming Smash 5 comes along by the time gen 8 becomes a thing....
