That's the only thing that is relevant. I'm asking whether or not i'm going to like thes characters if they're going to be written like this lol.


RIP Ridley.
You asked if the characters have good writing
That IS objective and not subjective

Weavile has fur though and the codename for this was "NotFurry"

Grovyle works too. Which could mean a PMD Remix.
Yeah, I noticed you said scalely. Then weavile probably isn't it.

Still going to hope for grovyle. Sceptile is quite nice to, but there is pokken for him to have a fighting game and high quality look. So grovyle would b nice to see in itt.

Remember when people tought that Lucario would be "replaced" by Zoroark?
I've learned my lesson from Brawl and Smash 4. Whatever new Pokemon may be introduced in gen 7, I'll probably wait it out until Smash 5 gets announced and whether or not Gen 8 is out or close to be out by that time to be prioritized.

RIP Deoxys, you weren't new enough......

Or relevant really assuming Smash 5 comes along by the time gen 8 becomes a thing....
Eh, people will always latch on to flavours of the month. Who knows what will happen in the future, but the Gen 7 phase will have its time in the sun as far as Smash spec goes just as all previous gens did.

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.
INB4 our new Grass starter isn't even in Smash and it's the new Grass starter from Gen 8 instead.

Also INB4 no one believes me on this and it gets beaten into the ground but ends up being futile anyway.

And yes,

I started typing this up before I saw this, but it needs to be EMPHASIZED.

I'm not trying to shame people out of liking a character. I'm trying to avoid an inevitable trainwreck before anyone even knows the character exists and thus before any personal attachment can be formed in the first place that will only end in disappointment.

*EDIT*

Oh, not if I can help it.

. . .I can't. But I'll still be over here beating back the crowd as long as I can before fandom kicks in and I get trampled.

So, I was following @Jdaster64 on twitter and I have to share this thing he retweeted because first, it';s a smart joke and second, it's pokemon :)

There was a problem fetching the tweet

yes, you need some math knowledge to actually get that one :)

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.
I don't see the problem. It fits her and despite how many people say that a game about war shouldn't have rather child-ish dialogue/moments, there have been a number of old old stories where some of the most serious characters in serious scenarios were rather child-ish in those scenarios. Like Krishna to Durodyana(or whatever that guy's name was spelled) when the guy was trying to get his mother's blessings, which would've made him purely invincible had Krishna not teased him about being naked(or something like that) or Elijah during that contest between God and Ba'al when he was making fun of Ba'al's priests.

Do we really need another Eeveelution?

We already have Charmeleon, Kecleon, Empoleon, Finneon, & Lumineon. What more?

Get Scolipede or get out!


But jokes aside, I got my favorite centaurian myriapod for the Pokemon hype.

Why so pessimistic?

Ashinja implies that at least the Gen 6 starters might get Megas, and between the sheer backlash at only 70 Pokémon and the fact that they had to make new models for every Pokémon that ever existed for Gen 6 and likely aren't under nearly as big a strain now, and I think we might get something along those lines.

Not sure on the new evos, but Game Freak got a ton of backlash for not doing any of those other than Sylveon in Gen 6 (despite all the Gen 4 griping about them "ruining" old Pokémon. . .), so who knows.

"For the last ****ing time, NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATH!"

Literally went back over differentiation today. Twas fun being the only one actually doing the work instead of going "lol Half-Life 3 confirmed!" Because the Lambda symbol appeared in some questions.

Well call me when you find it.

I'm equally annoyed at all these people that tell you to "just have it."

No, humanity. Just telling me to feel a way I'm currently not feeling DOES NOT HELP.

Even if we know the names, we're stil going in mostly blind. We don't know if it's Gen 7, Z with a different name or some kinda weird Gen 6.75. We don't know the region or any Pokemon and we don't know who many gameplay changes will be kept and how many will be arbitrarily jettisoned. Pokemon Amie, Super Taining, Sneaking, customizable trainers, if we never see each other again, farewell.

BAYONETTA's DEATH BATTLE OPPONENT GETS ANNOUNCED ON SUNDAY!!!

Calling it now, Midna. Because both are dark - based females who are actually good and both have magic.
And if Bayo doesn't win because of some bull**** then thats more bull**** than Peach winning against Zelda...
https://twitter.com/smashified/with_replies

New Smashified is a Pokemon. Probably Sceptile.
Scaly (kinda?), learns Screech, Agility and numerous slash based attacks so it fits the criteria.
.............and I thought it was Ridley. LOL.

Onward to next Smashified!
Are you delzethin?

That's because there isn't really an easy answer...its not really the sort of thing that can be taught because it depends on the person in question...the fear of failure is what usually prevents you from having enough confidence...

Usually learning to embrace failure and learn from it instead of trying to avoid it will help you be more confident in yourself, because if things go south it won't seem as big of a deal...failure is simply another term for learning...

The best advice I can give to someone looking for self confidence, is that you need only search within yourself, never outside of yourself.

Oof. . .yeah.

I can't say I shed any tears for what we lost in Gen 5 simply because what they added there largely felt like padding, but Gen 6 was so barebones in the first place and what little was there felt like it blended so naturally that losing ANYTHING from it is going to hurt pretty bad.

I will say that things like Amie needed a bit of POLISH, though. In a more idealistic world they would remove the less fitting stuff like the Flash-esque minigames during the transition but still keep the general concept of feeding and petting your Pokémon in place.

*EDIT* Except Trainer Videos. Not going to feel even remotely bad in the likely event we lose those. Even Gen 6 snuck some fluff in SOMEWHERE.

I really hope they're named Sun and Moon because the world that Pokemon inhabits ran out of room for more Pokemon species. So the Pokemon Professor just took off to space and said ''TIME TO DEAL WITH SPACE POKEMON ASSHOLES!"

That or you're playing an actual celestial body.

''Are you a Sun or a Moon?"

Tumblr will love it. ''OH MY GOD FINALLY MOONKIN AND SUNKIN REPRESENTATION THANKS BASED NINTENDO."

Welp. Getting Moon then. Still hate that meme though
Who isn't getting moon?

Old Man Glitch still alive in Virtual Console release.

128 Rare Candies & 128 Master Balls here I come!
Nice! I'm glad it's still here, I wonder if the others are as well, especially mew and missingno.

Oh and one last thing:


It's hilarious how ironic and fitting this is for Sun and Moon.

Honestly a game that dealt with only discovering species of Pokemon that come from space/other dimensions like Deoxys/Giratina/Etc would be a very interesting change up.

Yeah maybe if they could work in a bit more Nintendogs and less puzzle with constantly changing picture.

While on the topic, here's a list of things I wish they didn't drop

Gen 2
* Day Night Cycle affected Pokemon rarity
* Weekday events
* Previous region (understandable given how they had to trim Kanto down to fit)
* A rival that makes you want to beat him and his stupid face

Gen 3
* The original Contest format (Only one I got in to)
* Surf that doesn't hurt ally in double battle (only other one I could think of)

Gen 4
* Customizable Pokeball effects
* Pokeathelon
* Game corner (curse you European gambling laws)

Gen 5
* Gym leaders that actually do things outside of Gym Leader-ing
* Seasons
* Actual character development for Rivals
