If anything, judging by how AshGreninja works it's more of a Stand than a fusion. Inb4 they give Charizard and Mewtwo more love like this

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Thoughts? Coincidence or actually happening?

I wonder if this means we will see a few more mons like Ashgreninja?

Steven Universe confirmed for Pokemon Sun and Moon.

 

[Curious Villager]

I don't think Ash and Greninja actually fused in the anime, Greninja just got an appearance that resembled him from what I've seen.

So I suppose it might work something to that effect if this is really going to become a thing in Sun and Moon....

Well Pearl is in Pokemon already.

It's only a matter when Garnet, Jasper, and the others will appear.

When Greninja gets hurt in that form, Ash feels the pain. Wonder how that'd work in gameplay, maybe it can only work for a last resort?

On the Krystal inside info thing...
I'm just gonna say this.
Wasn't Miyamoto openly upset by the direction that Rareware took DK in the Country series? (Leading to this being the root a theory for why there has been a lack of Kremling usage outside of Mario sports games since).
Because.... look at who was behind the creation of Krystal

 

[Z25]

Wasn't this something in one of the Mega Man Battle Network games or something?

Well on a more related note this is a pretty common Pokémon fanfiction concept anyway. . .

I believe so, but I haven't really played mega man, so I don't know.

Tried pokemon showdown with an utterly garbage team. One first game in first turn (insta quit) lost second to spikes, won 3rd on miss hax. This **** is weird

Doesn't this kind if imply that people will be fighting a 10 year old (fused with a pokemon)?


Other than the fact the concept of fusion is absurd in the first place I don't think they are going to go that far. MAYBE "ash greninjas" but that by itself is an issue for future games. You would then have pokemon based on characters that aren't even in the game

True, I could us have starters based on the anime cast, and maybe gym leaders get them/E4/? I don't know, unlikely but who knows. It's still interesting.

I don't think Ash and Greninja actually fused in the anime, Greninja just got an appearance that resembled him from what I've seen.

Their minds and souls as emphasized as fusing I believe. For example, Ash feels greninja's pain when it's in that form.

To late:

Clearly they are the mascots!

Oh, I wasn't aware of that.....

I'm not sure how that can really be translated into the games since the trainers themselves aren't really involved in battle. Perhaps the Pokemon gains an extra life bar when in this state? I'm not sure if the games would go that far though even though the worst thing that happens is the trainer fainting....

Imagine this:

Fusion makes the game, the ultimate nuzlocke:

when in a fused form, if your pokemon faints, it dies, but so does your trainer. You must restart the game over.

There's the ultimate nuzlocke right there.

Pokemon: "you guys wanted the games to be more difficult? Well, how do you like them now?"

Trainers faint at the end of battle, so my theory is that this new mechanic can only work once, and it's high risk, high reward! If that thing faints, you lose immediately, but your stats are amazing, plus Greninja didn't need an item, it was only it's bond with Ash, so items may be usable in these 'Stands'

Here is some more interesting points for the region in Sun and Moo being Hawaii:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/71534132

Spoiler: details

My theory starts with the Strange Souvenir that is given to us by a Backpacker who travels between the hotels in Kalos.

You must speak to him on four seperate days, and each time he will say something different about his home region. Finally on the last day he gives you a mysterious item called the Strange Souvenir.

There is a creation myth in Hawaii about a deity named Kane.

"Kane is considered the highest of the four major Hawaiian deities, along with Kanaloa, Ku, and Lono. He represented the god of procreation and was worshipped as ancestor of chiefs and commoners. Kane is the creator and gives life associated with dawn, sun and sky. Kane took a special magical white clay and formed it into a head. Then the three Gods breathed life into the statue and created the first man. The first man was created in the image of Kane."

Strange Souvenir looks exactly like that. A white-colored head, that looks like a man (or a tiki from hawaii), and also worshipped/venerated.

Two more pieces of evidence to add to my theory:

1. An NPC in Couriway Town (old lady) mentions "somewhere in this world" I hear there is a waterfall that flows backwards!" One would think... Hmm.. is she referencing the Distortion World? But she isn't. The distortion world is a "seperate" world, its own entity, the NPC says this backwards waterfall is in "THIS" world, keyword THIS. It's interesting to note, Hawaii actually has a backwards flowing waterfall due to the wind
http://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/...metimes-flows-up-instead-of-flowing-down.html

2. In gen 5, we got the "3 musketeers" as a legendary-trio. The 3 Musketeers is a French novel. Was this "green-lighting" the fact that a "France" based region was coming next? If that's the case, have you noticed this: Hoopa (Hula Hoop - Hawaiian Dance), Diancie (Dance = Hula), Volcanion (Volcano -> Mauna Kea -> Hawaii) 0_0

If we see Hawaii, maybe it'll be during 6th gen. Given that Strange Souvenir cannot be placed in bank, so it would have to be transferable to these games.

Oh so even if you have other Pokemon still well in your party, if you put all your bets in a certain Pokemon who has this ability, and increase their stats but still loses, you've lost the match?

That does sound like an interesting concept. Guess I'll have to see how that would be executed if it would really be a thing.

On the Krystal inside info thing...
I'm just gonna say this.
Wasn't Miyamoto openly upset by the direction that Rareware took DK in the Country series? (Leading to this being a theory of the lack of Kremling usage outside of Mario sports games since).
Because.... look at who was behind the creation of Krystal

Nah this is more just a case of Miyamoto not liking new characters in his franchises unless he invented them.

-Waluigi and Daisy weren't made by EAD so they never get to be in main series Mario.

-He wanted Rosalina to be a minor one-off character, his version of her being a just a generic princess that looked like Peach (similar clothes and all) and may have been related to her as a long lost sister or cousin or something. Yoshiaki Koizumi made the version of Rosalina we know today, but he had to argue with Miyamoto to get her in the game, with Miyamoto only being persuaded after Koizumi wrote Rosalina's Storybook overnight. Even still, he was only gonna let her be in just Galaxy, albeit as a major character. But after Galaxy released and Rosalina received such positive reception and with the team at EAD loving her too, Miyamoto decided she could stay and appear in more stuff. However, he went out of his way to make sure Galaxy 2 wouldn't have the same story elements as Galaxy 1, which is why Rosalina's appearances in the game are so surprisingly minimal for the sequel to her debut game. It also took Rosalina a while to really start making an appearance in spin-offs because of this, basically missing out on the Wii/DS/early 3DS installments of spin-offs that you'd think she'd show up in (considering how quickly Petey and Bowser Jr got to show up in stuff - those two were made by Miyamoto though). He's admitted to being wrong in trying to block the character so hard though, in the Iwata Asks for 3D World.

-Nearly every DK character aside from the essentials (Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky) barely gets any appearances in stuff.

-Every non-Miyamoto Star Fox character getting axed in the Miyamoto made Star Fox: Zero.

There's probably more but this is all I can think of for now.

It's not just characters either, Miyamoto can be weird about games from his franchises that are outsourced to other developers. He hates F-Zero GX because he thinks it's too hard and that's why SEGA haven't been able to make a new F-Zero despite being completely willing.

Rosalina was in Galaxy 2?

 

[Deleted member]

Here's a funny story that happened today.

I was playing a FG as Roy while my opponent played as Ryu. He broke my shield and just when he is about to send me off the stage with a foward Smash............a connection error Message appears.

That wasn't the first time that something like this has happened to me during FG.

 

[Burruni]

Rosalina was in Galaxy 2?

At the conclusion of Star 242 - The Perfect Run.
After beating this, she'd reside on the Starship Mario as your 100% reward.

Cool, so GameXplain just uploaded a missing in action video based on Mighty (and Ray).

But there's something I want to add regarding the Chaotix tidbit.

Espio was technically the only new Sonic character to appear in 1995's Knuckles' Chaotix, as Vector had already been created during Sonic The Hedgehog 1's early development:

he was even supposed to appear in the story with the rest of the band as depicted in the storyboard concept art for Sonic 1:

As for Charmy, he, along with Amy, made his first appearance in the Sonic The Hedgehog Manga publicized in 1992:

Leaving Espio as the only new character to appear in '95.

------------------------------------------------------

I would obviously love for Mighty and Ray to make a comeback, though I'm surprised Andre didn't touch up on Bark, Bean or especially Fang The Sniper; he did after all make the absolute most appearances out of all the forgotten characters and was going to be in the scrapped Sonic Xtreme, I'd like to see him reappear first.

My thoughts on the last few pages:
Can't wait till Source Gaming makes general news too. Because right now it feels like it should be called Smash Source. It's like mew2kings channel 'most valuable gaming' which is even worse. But keep up the good work till then and continue your fight with your rights!

Pokemon- Human fusion sounds interesting but I personally don't really want it to happen. I'll need to see how it looks first. I want my first Poke game not to be too weird.

Miyamoto needs to retire. My opinion since like, 2 years ago. Or at least stick to Pikmin and small, budget-titles. He is no good in the current age. His decisions and certain opinions feel like they are from the early 2000's at the latest. He is the main reason why the next Starfox will make the series stall to thier potential. - personally think it's actually a small step backwards.... Oh, I don't see anything wrong with Krystal. If you do, then I believe you looked at some furry things you shouldn't have.

 

[ChikoLad]

Rosalina was in Galaxy 2?

Yes, she's in the ending and the secret ending. She's revealed to be the game's narrator in the latter.

And when you get to the end of the mission with the 242nd Star, she congratulates you for making it that far and stays on Starship Mario. Her being on your Starship Mario is basically how you prove to people you have 100%'d Galaxy 2.

She also sends Young Master Luma letters over the course of the game.

And throughout the game, if you die too much on certain levels, she appears in her "Cosmic Spirit" form, and can take control of Mario's mind (or the player from a game mechanic standpoint) to guide him to the Star (but it will be a Bronze Star).

I never bothered to get all the regular stars. And there's no way I'd collect all the green stars. I love Galaxy 2 (not as much as Sunsine), but I don't have the patience for that. Also, is that your only prize for 100%ing the game? Sounds underwhelming tbh

Miyamoto never actually said anything negative about the DKC series.

The only quotes on record actually praise it.

Basically, when you beat Star 242 you're shot off to a special platform exclusive to THAT version of the stage. There, Rosalina congratulates you for going through the hell of gettting all of the stars in the game... and then just kinda sits on the Starship.
Disappointing? A bit.
But SMG2 WAS originally just going to be an "expansion pack."

Oh yeah, I saw it last night too (while simultaneously third-wheeling).

First time I went to the cinema in a while, it's so rare that there's a movie I genuinely really want to see.

It didn't disappoint at all, and I can't wait for the sequel. They've apparently already started on it.

FOX greenlit it after the reception from an early fan screening in January and is what the post credits scene is about (aside from making fun of the whole post credits scene thing).

More like every Pokemon has been hit with it. Just not all can be called furries.

In other news, I just pulled a Secret Rare and a Ghost Rare from The New Challengers. I am unsure if I need them for my collection, but if not, great trade power. I win either way~

The only thing I knew was that Nintendo wanted Yoshi's Island's artstyle to be like DKC's graphics but Miyamoto was against it.

I think that was sourced but he has praised the DKC games multiple times.

Ironically, Sakurai enjoyed those games as well despite common opinion. Japan loves DKC like how they love Crash Bandicoot.
