Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

Welp. I think it's high time to grab some popcorn ladies and gentlemen.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Things are shaking up around here.

It's funny seeing people call them out on leaking things in the past and NN defending themselves saying "we've changed"

 

[Deleted member]

I remember the first Shiny Pokemon that i got was a Shiny Doduo, which i encountered by COMPLETE ACCIDENT.

I also got a Shiny Eevee but i ended up trading it away.

Out of the three that i captured though, my favorite is the Red Gyarados that i catched by Shiny Hunting a Magikarp in Battle Resort.

On one hand, it's a shame, on the other hand, it's hypocritical. Then again, these guys suggested Nintendo would nicely ask someone to delete a leak video

So Conquest Chapter 21

WHY MUST ALL THIS POINTLESS KILLING EXIST!?
**** YOU IAGO, YOU GOING TO THE SAME HOLE AS TAKUMI WENT FOR SHOOTING ELISE
Lilith's death kinda came out of nowhere though, since she wasn't even relevant to the plot after the first few chapters and was demoted to an extra in the My Castle
But it sure is depressing goong to her temple after that
In other mews: Odin now has a crafted Mjolnr which gives him a 55% crit
Put Selena in Attack Stance with him and crits happen
And with that, Forrest gets a Thunder +3 which has 11mt with no drawbacks whatsoever

Lilith's death is the one I took a point off of in my score.
Because at that point she's a damn monster in My Castle and has no justification from gameplay or story to die there in one hit. It's just a cheap emotional pull, imo.

Yeah, I'm really pissed too..I knew it was going to happen but I'm still so upset. I love Lilith, she doesn't deserve this...

What terrible journalism.

This is why Games media, specifically Nintendo media will never be taken seriously.

These sound like the whining kids that COMPLAIN about leaks. It happens. Sorry that you'd rather be MARKETED to than have your info given to you without the intention to woo you into buying it.

Awful journalism. What kind of journalist would refuse to report on leaked info, it's how life works. That's what journalism revolves around.

 

[Luigi The President]

I'm sorry but the Nintendo News tweet sounds so edgy I can't take it seriously

 

[epicmartin7]

Also, for those curious, people have managed to capture the Pokémon Sun & Moon pictures with the "niji" filename. So we now have actual definitive proof, that anyone can look at, of this existing.

[Swamp Sensei]

Shinies I found?

Hmmm....

In Diamond, I found....

Golbat
Banette
Shellos

In Platinum....

Meditite

In White....

Mincinno

And in X....

Bergmite

 

[Z25]

I've found like 60 shinys. Mostly through hunting, but without trying I found one in every game, but gen 1, and fire red and leafgreen.

2 in Black and White 2 without trying as well.

Oh and more Hawaiin proof:

This tweet is so ****ing stupid it deserves two replies.

Your first job as a journalist is to report the news. What the hell does this site plan to do as journalist? Literally just use their media pass to post whatever comes from the Big N's twitter? What if they get a tip with tons of info? "We better not report that. Think of Nintendo's feelings!"

Christ people. I can understand not wanting the Smash announcement leaked on a certain level.

On another level, it's Nintendo's ****ing job to cover up their holes.

JOURNALISM REVOLVES AROUND TIPS AND LEAKS. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

90% of the "News" on TV comes from an inside source tipping the network. What do they expect games journalism to be? Just sucking off the devs and publishers so they can send traffic to your site? Real classy.

This behavior sounds like its coming out of a 12 year old who thinks Nintendo is an almighty god who can do no wrong.

I get that they said they "worded it weirdly". Doesnt change the fact that what they meant is still beyond stupid. Terrible.

Pokemon company: "Too much water complaints?

[Guybrush20X6]

Hawaii, huh? I did think it was a poor idea to jettison Poke-murica after one and a half regions (who even counts New jersey?)

 

[Burruni]

So....
Since Danganronpa finally came out on Steam.
I did some googling.
Found out the anime, which seemed bad off of testing 1 episode of sub, had been dubbed last october.
I decided to check it.
In such a character-focused game.
They got 2/16 characters' voices to return.
And most of the replacements are REALLY off the mark.

A friend of mine said he'd hit me if I watched the dub, because he thinks it's atrocious, he didn't play the games, but he enjoyed the subbed version

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So....

How good is Bravely Default?

And how much do you recommend it?

If you liked the FF games with the ATB system, it's for you, specifically FFV iirc

A Distant Demon pls

Definitely a great game if you like the earlier Final Fantasy games

 

[Burruni]

So....

How good is Bravely Default?

It's Final Fantasy 5 with better handled job system but a REALLY sour trough through like 80%-95% point of the game.
One of the best RPGs on the 3DS. Best Final Fantasy game since 9 imo.
But god it has that one obnoxious stretch.

A friend of mine said he'd hit me if I watched the dub, because he thinks it's atrocious, he didn't play the games, but he enjoyed the subbed version

Listen.
I like the game's dub more than the sub for the game/anime.
I can't watch this dub.

Spoiler

For it, there's a total of 6 characters which will reprise their roles for later games.
ONE of those 6 are present so it is BLATANTLY clear when those other voices aren't there.
The other voice that returned? Is killed either at the conclusion of the first episode or early into episode 2.
The character designed for androgyny and such is a very crucial point to how one of the chapters plays out has a voice very clear to one side of the fence.
And... just...
WHEN THE MASCOT.
OF YOUR SERIES.
DOESN'T HAVE HIS VOICE.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.
The damn /abridged series/ of the anime has better voice casting.

O.O I...I...I...What went wrong? Also, do you mean DRAT? Didn't they creator lose his account?

 

[BannaBake]

How much are you willing to bet these new Sun/Moon Legendary pokemon will be Fire and Psychic?

 

[BluePikmin11]

So its confirmed to be the Orange Islands again amirite?

 

[Burruni]

O.O I...I...I...What went wrong? Also, do you mean DRAT? Didn't they creator lose his account?

Faulerro's got a back up account up.
Trust me.
I'm rewatching episode 6 on it.
But...
Makoto and Sayaka.
Those are the only two that came back.
(Edit: NOT EVEN MONOKUMA, THE ONE STAPLE ACROSS ALL 3 GAMES)
I can send you a friggin link to episode 1 of the dub if you want to hear.
The pacing of the anime in general is just rushed to fit it in 12 episodes and cuts out on a lot of what you could uncover with the characters =/
That doubled with two voice settings I'm not fond of... I'd rather replay the game, knowing all the tricks twists and cases.

 

[A Distant Demon]

So....

So I'll be honest. Bravely Default is a game I love a lot and hate to a degree. I need to replay it though.

The game made me regain faith in traditional turn based RPGs after FFX made me hate ALL RPGs not named pokemon (TLDR data corruption made me lose too much of my time)

The battle system is great and I love all the customization from the job system.

The story, world, and characters are pretty good. Ringabel is awesome, Agnes and Tiz jump from annoying to tolerablt to great and random moments. Edea (avi) is my 3rd/4th most wanted for smash depending on the day.


and the music.
HOLY
****ING
****
THE
MUSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICC

I've posted enought times though that you get the point.


So i've gushed over it but. . . why would I say I hate it? Well that's a spoiler

Spoiler: beware

There is a part of the game you have to redo the same bosses multiple times to continues. It's bring and it takes too long and slows the game to a terrible pace

the least spoiler answer is it gets repetetive.


Would I recomend it?
Are you ok with a "bit" of repetetiveness near the end game which may decide the good or bad ending?

EDIT pulled a burruni


Also if you can't tell i'm hyped for Bravely Second either way. I realllllly want to play it. Take that as you will.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Unless you really really like grinding I'd recommend playing Bravely Second.

I don't...
I don't think I can get behind it.
We have nothing for South America as a setting.
And "don't get fly until the 7th gym" doesn't seem right.

Hawaii?. . .

I know you love Hawaii, Japan. I know you do. I know the Pokémon World Championships also love Hawaii.

But. . .

http://www.to-hawaii.com/population.php

http://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/nyc-population/current-future-populations.page

The single city Unova was based off of has, like, 6 times the population of your entire state.

And 70% of your population is funneled into Honolulu.

How are you even going to city.

Less brainless wanderers in the main city and the implication that "there's lots of apartment srsly, you just chose to not go to those other floors".

There's more people in New York than there are in my COUNTRY.

Making **** up is the name of the game. Doesn't need to exactly be realistic.


Or. . .maybe it isn't just hawaii. It's Hawaii+California. All the size and more ideas to take from.

. . .Or if they covered those distances they could have just engulfed all the other Pacific Islands instead.

It'd explain the statue head souvenir.

The setting is skeptical, but I like the story aspects. If transportation is used a lot, then I don't mind the lack of fly.

 

[Coricus]

This looks more like the hotel imo, but that hotel style is popular in many tropical places.

Looking back on the codename, it IS Pokémon Rainbow.

Have you cross-referenced the fire trucks with those from other countries yet?

Having a side-by-side comparison could confirm/deny this a bit more.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I bought X/Y for my plane trip to Hawaii. In which I played through most of the game while on vacation there.

Looks like I brought the wrong generation for my trip.

Oh well, guess I have to go back...

Rainbow was the other thing I thought of. It, the sun and moon, are key influences in hawaiin culture.

And I didn't find the fire truck pick, 4chan did. But I'll look now!

If it's Hawaii I expect a sea turtle starter

Edit:

What I would expect for Hawaii

Fire pig
Sea turtle
Grass bird
