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

[Aetheri]

I think Chespin had some relation with some Ice Age mammal. I remember the reading the article over on Dorkly a long time ago. Patterns aren't good, but it was a fairly amusing read.

Grass: Prehistoric/Extinct Animal
Fire: Chinese Zodiac
Water: Animal that lives both on land/underwater.

http://www.dorkly.com/post/48783/the-truth-about-pokemon-starters

The Snivy line kinda contradicts this as they are based off of Vine Snakes which aren't extinct...Chesnaught does have similarities to the Glyptodonts however...

 

[Zzuxon]

Plus Cosmic is a pretty common fan type anyway, along with some sort of man-made type.

Fairy. . .was not. At all.

I don't know if it's because I'm feeling off right now, but I get the feeling that if another new type is introduced, the developers of Pokémon might go for something a little more original again.

I had come up with the basic idea for fairy before it was anoounced. A lot of people did, I saw similar ideas on the internet.
It's just that we all called it Light type. It was essentially identical to fairy-type though, in terms of concept.

That being said, if they do add a new type, it needs to be sound.

 

[Substitution]

I don't know... I think it's a little too early for a new type. At least let Fairy grow a little more before once again shaking up the metagame.

I really hope they don't...Sound would likely be super effective against rock and ice, two types that really don't need to be crippled (rip Aurorus) plus I don't see any benefit in terms of balancing...all of the types that were introduced played a part in balancing the type MUs in some way...it 'sounds' cool conceptually but thats about where it ends...

There is no need for a new type especially after we just got a new introduced last gen...

 

[Zzuxon]

While I religiously follow Fire's Chinese Zodiac thing, wasn't Grass starters reptiles (Chespin killed it if it is)?

I don't know.
Bulbasaur seems more like a frog than a reptile. Plus, What is Chikorita?
I don't know, but it isn't recognizably a reptile.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm not banking on a new type for Generation VII.

Also, a number of images from CoroCoro magazine have been leaked.

Don't get too excited yet: It's just info on Volcanion currently. Whether or not we'll see Sun & Moon info is unknown right now.

 

[Schnee117]

I don't know.

I don't know, but it isn't recognizably a reptile.

Bulbasaur has similarities to something called the Dicynodont as well as some amphibian influence.
Chikorita is basically a baby Sauropod (So Brontosaurus for example.)

Sound as a type would probably be the most convoluted mess to add
Not only is there already an ability that negates sound based moves, there are all of those said moves who would either need retyping(and the only damaging moves to ever be retyped are Bite and Karate Chop) or lose their properties

Just completed Twilight Princess HD, is it just me, or does this remake have more bugs and glitches than the original? Then again, I haven't played the original in quite sometime but I don't recall the camera controls and movement being so clunky at times and the fishing pond resulting into an infinite loop that you can't skip out of.....

Oh well, I see Pokemon is up next for receiving a lot of leaks, fun times....

I haven't experienced anything too unusual so far, though I'm only starting the first temple now, haha. The camera feels clunky but it feels just like Wind Waker's camera, and I heard the GC version if this was on the same engine as Wind Waker.

In fact I'm a bit disappointed the "Title Screen Exploration Glitch" from the Wii version seems to be gone. I only found out about it and would have loved to try it in the HD version.

Ooh, I like the idea that Bulbasaur is a synapsid. Dang I like that idea a lot. (I'm a paleontology/taxonomy buff, so I know these things)
It makes sense, Venusaur kind of reminds one of Moschops.

 

[Z25]

I knew I was gettinjg sick last night when I had fever, and today I was worse.... I apparently have the flu which sucks.

I'm also sad over no corocoro. And if this is true, there may not be anything in it:

I may be the bearer of bad news regarding CoroCoro. Found someone with it, but they say no Sun/Moon or Movie news. Still investigating.

and then they just posted this

Serebii Update: First real images of CoroCoro appear. Volcanion distribution detailed @ https://t.co/oV6DIIA7Ub pic.twitter.com/9tjLoX2TXz

— Serebii.net (@SerebiiNet) March 11, 2016

So there doesn't seem to be anything sadly, which actually offered something interesting. But I'll cover that next post.

I went to a tournament at a game shop today and the owner's girlfriend was going on and on about various Pokemon rumors. Obviously all of this should be taken with a grain of salt (and a shot of tequila if you want to get hyped anyways):

-Claimed a full list of all the new Pokemon had been leaked on 4chan.
-Some Pokemon she mentioned were based on coconut crabs, dolphins, and tikis (she said this one was fire/grass) .
-No new starters but players could choose any of the starters from the previous six generations.
-New types: space/cosmic and manmade Pokemon (forgot the specific word she used)
-Setting will be heavily based on Hawaii.
-Mega evolutions for all the starters who haven't gotten one yet.

Again, just rumors.

-That list hasn't technically been disproven but the wood pecker isn't on it, so it's unlikely.

-Haven't heard of the starters thing, but I doubt that. It be cool though. I still think the leaked starters are looking pretty legit though.

Cosmic/ space is kind of a meme for the game. People thing that just because the titles deal with things with space, then we will get this as a type. I doubt a new type will happen, but if it did, I'd put my money on man made or artificial. A type representing man made mons. This is mainly due to the fact that while magearnna looks fairy and steel, we don't have it's typing yet.

-This has become general speculation, as a lot of hints towards Hawaii have been found.

-This would be great, but I don't know if it will happen. Hope it does though. I want them to focus less on megas this time, and more on fleshing the games out.

Speaking of leaks, why don't we laugh at these?

The water one is literally Totodile in a swimsuit

I saw this last night. The best part was that Gematsu reported them as real lol. They took it down once they realized their mistake though.

If the fire starter isn't a member of the Chinese Zodiac I automatically don't take it seriously. As bad as blindly following patterns is, I'd love to see a fire Rabbit, Ox, or Goat next.

4chan would laugh at this viewpoint. They for some reason don't believe the fire starters are based on the zodiac. I don't even understand why, literally every one is, and I'm positive GF even mentioned it at one point.

 

[Zzuxon]

People on 4chan tend to be contrarian because they think it makes them cool. Like some kind of secret club.
It's my least favorite thing about the website.

 

[Curious Villager]

I haven't experienced anything too unusual so far, though I'm only starting the first temple now, haha. The camera feels clunky but it feels just like Wind Waker's camera, and I heard the GC version if this was on the same engine as Wind Waker.

In fact I'm a bit disappointed the "Title Screen Exploration Glitch" from the Wii version seems to be gone. I only found out about it and would have loved to try it in the HD version.

I don't know, I seem to recall the camera control's weren't as clunky in the original Gamecube version, it felt more or less the same way as Wind Waker which Twilight Princess indeed ran on the same engine with, and occasionally the control stick doesn't respond too well when moving Link (Mostly when he's nearby the camera and you want to turn around) Epona feels a little off too at times.

I don't know, it has been many years since I last played the original Twilight Princess so maybe I'm just not remembering things well.....

 

[Zzuxon]

I looked up Mega Wobbuffet on Google images.
It is now one of my most wanted megas. Those ideas are awesome.

 

[Burruni]

RIP PMS news today.
Guess we'll have to wait another month to see starters.

[aldelaro5]

Well, I got back to tphd yesterday and I did fire AND water dungeon so impressions time!

Spoiler: Still not as much spoiler, but there is some

Now, the first thing I need to point out is that usually, in zelda dungeons, you want the compass before anything else, preferably, you want the compass immediately. The reason is simple: youi can find everything else with the compass even the map. However, how tp is made is you never get it before the map

So the fire dungeon, was pretty good, it felt honestly very TWW dragoon roast. However.......FREAKING MAGNET BOOTS WTF? Seriously, when I got to the ceilling I was like REALLY THIS IS SO COOL! So they coupled a heavy weight item to a magnets. it's like I was playing smg again

But yeah, loved that dungeon because of the magnets.

Now, I heard an opinion like this on the main social thread and that boss was way too easy. i am talking spm level of easiness which is likt.....it feels you are speedrunning the game given how easy it seems to be. And I am the opposite of speedrunning when I plasy a game casually, I like to take game slow.

Also yay! more plot info!

Now the part right after.......was very very intense. Well I got to the village peacefull and then I try to come back and HOLY ****! WHAT THE FREAK IS THIS? So this is when I talk about very slow build up and then it.....jsut blows up. Seriously, here, 15 minutes to get to the thing and and comming back before eveyrhting happens in 1 minute. So you chase the king bokonlins (you are not supposed to know who he is, but let's jsut say ssbb satge and it shoudl answer your qwuestion) and......what? You try to kill him while on horse what?

I am not gonna lie, holy god this was intense. Seriously it was so intense i don't even remmeber the music because all i heard was me targetting enemies and firing weapons. It's insane how you feel into this. It's like you are doing everything at once. I loved that part.

Here's a fun story about trying to hit him while on the bridge, I got hit so much I game over, but when I game over, I had the time to hit him so it triggered both the cs......and the game over so I game over and I had to hit him again lol

Anyway, that epic and freaking intense part done, I head to the twilight where.....omg there's so much people in there! Then I realised it took me a while to get you are supposed to be elsewhere so I went there and......waht? a bird phase? Ok, interesting and then i realised the music is awesome and I liked that phase. Now, these zora.....omg it's messed up stuff.

Ok here, I need to pioint out what i believe is a logistic error., How are you supposed to get you have to use the column of fire? No seriously, there's nopthing that tells you at first that the thing is even movable, you also only see it for like.....10 seconds and it clearly seems to have no significance. A better description of how the thing should look like would be appreciated, nbut I had to use a guide here and i wasn't dumb.....

That part being done, the light tears collection here was interesting especially when getting the last one because of the boss.

Then......OMG THIS CUTSCENE IS SO CREEPY! geez, it's like dark link possesing link and like......posessiong 10 Llia......wtf? That oot remix owned though

So I really took a while to get how you get out of the lake and I feel dumb about it

Then i got to the bar and most hilarious cutscene despite it being a very serious one. @Kenith and @HyperIrene jsut for fun, what was your reaction when tema pronounced the words "dangeorus beast" and all the soldier stopped to say a thing? I laughed so hard, like they even made it more funny by having one guy left jsut leaving. it's like, this is why the princess has so many problems: her guard is **** let's be honest, jsut have link and you apretty much are fine. No seriously, they shoudln'T even wear armor.

Because that escort mission let me tell you, we even had a talk on the discord chat and frankly, I agree with @Kenith here, it's really fun and not hard. ALL you have to do is be as much as possible on the left or the right of the car, but in front works too if you are not too fast and just kill as many enemies as possible. Do this until the car gets on fire and which case, use th eboomrerang. Repeat until done.

It's not hard guys. i really didn't get why people were having trouble, it's not hard. I really liked thaty phase and if I had to review it, it might have been slightly too easy actually.

Anyway, I never noticed that stone had the water logo. I saw it before in TWW so i should have known if I looked at it. Btw, that armor is so cool, I liked the mouth thing

Also the water bombs.....has an interesting shape to say the least

Then I got to the water dungeon.

Let me say it right now so it's know by everyone IT IS NOT A BAD WATER TEMPLE AND IS ACTUALLY GOOOOD! yes, I know this sounds mind blowing and you are probably discombobulated by this revelation, but it is NOT bad. Instead of figuring water level, you are trying to raise the water by using 2 pull lever located at either extreme end of the dungeon......can't be more simple than that. In fact, the complex part of the dungeon is the stairs rotating room and it's not bad., Let me jsut give a tip because i was admitably tired when i did the dungeon and was slow at thinking: the lever you will pull will be where the stairs are. It's intuitive, and you can guess quickly where you want the stairs to be especially if you want to redirect the current flow.

Overall, I liked ther dungeon also because CLAWSHOT! who here hates the clawshot? becuase tbh if you do you mgith as well not play zelda because this is imo the best recurring item and you use it for so many uses that it's jsut I love it! it's like a staple in zelda (ages had the object switch and I loved it but no clawshot ).

Anyway let me say it again, spm bosses, pllllllllllllss! Really, the dungeons are excellent.....but the bosses sucks so much in difficulty what is this? Even tww felt better than this like omg, I lvoe the music when you get to hit the boss, but man they are so easy.

Anyway, i had to pack my stuff for going to my hometown today (It's my mid semester break week) and I just had to leave the game after the cs......I regret it so hard. Because what happened was the biggest tease ever. I should have said yes to the save prompt and power off the console. lesson learned I guess.

basically, zant jsut decides to be there (btw......his face is.....omg it's awfull) and just decides to have twlight lol. i am more interested by the dialog here, what is this? I mean, I honestly really suspected midna had a hard connection with zant, but I saw her more as always a friend......what I seem to get is she was actually the opposite of a friend before and jsut decided to be friend to actually stop zant. So the idea thsat I get is zant somehow blew up and midna wasn't happy with it.

and the reason why i should have powered down the console is the tease after. He force wolf link and midna into the light whic is fine for link......but omg midna....... Then to just add more to the tease, I have to go to the castle using a secret thing (well I have a huge idea where it is), but you have to meet zelda and everyone knows that after the third dungeon, meeting someone = the plot WILL blow up. Then......I heard the ONE theme I seriously questioned during the entirety of this playthorugh as to why it was known so much.....midna's lament.

The tease is hard because I had to stop there. It's like super clear how the plot is going to blow the freak out after that part. And can I jsut say how sick midna looks? omg, she feels so.....desperate and sad while before she was having fun playing on the back of the wolf

Like, I learned my lesson, stop as soon as possible if you ahd to and you feel stuff will happen after. Like I have to go through my classes then endure 4 hours of being in a car before getting home to unpack my stuff and eat supper to then play the game and know what happens.

Don't spoiil me (seriously, I WILL ignore you if you do this) , but man.....never I woudl have thoguht this plot will be tesed so hard. Like the thing about midna's lament is I see it linked a lot, I seem to think it's a very well known and respected music in the series and even moreé.....it's in ssb.....

So yeah, when i realised that this music was playing at this moment and was even overiding anything esle......yeah, this might even be more powerfull when I do the castle part.

So, now I litterally can't wait to play the game. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! Like omg, when I expect mind blowing.....this is annoying

Found the leak I was looking for:

Spoiler: Sun and Moon Pre E3 Details(Supposedly)

I'm an employee for a certain business that will go unnamed. We assist the developers for certain things, and of course when this happens, I get new information.

I can also say that you won't be getting any real game play until E3, which debut the game's first gameplay trailer (with all the Pokemon in action).

Here's a few tidbits I wish to share. Since the game is being localized for many languages, I've been given news about the American version, which means I dont have to feed you guys Japanese garbage.

>New region is named Doloroe, and yes, it's based off Hawaii. Tropical setting I've heard.
>Trainer and clothing customization is back. This time GF is emphasizing an "outfit" mechanic that allows you to save an outfit as a preset to go back to any time.
>Here's something I wasn't expecting, in addition to the 3 normal starters you get to choose from, each version has an exclusive starter that you may also choose.
>Sun's exclusive starter is a Phoenix looking thing with a colorful plumage on it's head. It's a fairy type and is called Ixflare.
>Moon's exclusive starter is a Dark type called Impoar, a darkness pig of sorts. I asked GF if this means it has a disadvantage to Ixflare, and they told me that it turns into a Dark/Poison to balance it.
>Since my job doesn't involve getting all the details on the new mon, I only know what they look like and their types. Sorry senpai.
>Water Starter is a blue/purple lizard called Gatyke. Pretty standard.
>Grass Starter is a ram called Cottobell. Spherical head and big horns. My pick of the bunch.
>Fire Starter is a bear with flame patterns named Cubsear.
> Sun Legendary is a large mech looking thing called Cronoray. Said to be powered by a heat device.
>Moon legendary is a bat/demon looking thing called Slendrak. It's pretty uncreative. It has a long tuft of fur going down it's back. Said to be powered by a darkness device.

There you have it folks, please look froward to CoroCoro and E3. I hope this is enough.

It's interesting but it claimed that those leaked starters were real. Which doesn't seem to be the case.

I figured I should share it anyway. I remembered it because it's info kind of lined up with Corocoro not giving us anything.[/spoiler]

If it's just one, I wouldn't mind. But that's because they would just be mass bred and traded for the other exclusive. It probably wouldn't be to hard to get both.

Move aside Emboar, the real Ganon Pokemon expy is here

It probably be much better then emboar in terms of design and power.

Plus Dark Poison is a really good combo. It's only weakness would be ground, but you don't see those moves or mons often.

So I see the leaks have gone from being wildly uncreative with the Moon Legendary to actually CALLING it uncreative. >.<

It's the MOON, guys. We already HAVE a fairly interesting Legendary based off of one of it's phases. Just because you can't fathom how to make a giant, glowing, crater covered orb with any number of mythos based around it work as a Legendary Pokémon doesn't mean Game Freak can't.

Also wouldn't exclusive starters just defeat the point of having the other starters? Everyone would just gravitate towards the exclusives and ignore the shared pool for the most part because the shared pool isn't as special.

So I see the leaks have gone from being wildly uncreative with the Moon Legendary to actually CALLING it uncreative. >.<

It's the MOON, guys. We already HAVE a fairly interesting Legendary based off of one of it's phases. Just because you can't fathom how to make a giant, glowing, crater covered orb with any number of mythos based around it work as a Legendary Pokémon doesn't mean Game Freak can't.

Also wouldn't exclusive starters just defeat the point of having the other starters? Everyone would just gravitate towards the exclusives and ignore the shared pool for the most part because the shared pool isn't as special.

True, although whether it's uncreative is more up to each person's thoughts. So it could look really neat to some if real, while others think it's meh.

As for how they can do it, I wouldn't oppose it being based on a moon god, or if all else fails make it look like a giant moon robot.
It could look like a godzilla monster lol. I actually would want to see them making something like that. It could come out really well.

As for exclusive starters. The online trading would help it. I don't know if people will flock to them, it would all depend on how each starter is designed. A lot of people like the poison water lizzard..

I like the lizard and bear. But the goat doesn't seem like something GF would do after just making go goat and having it be one of the more advertised mons.

Unless enough people are able to make themselves heard so that SEGA realise "Hey there's fans in the west, let's give it to 'em" after we've released more crappy mobile titles and a Sonic game which may or may not be good

I'd love if Fire Emblem had a spin-off in a similar style to it actually.

All honesty I'm probably only going to get Pokken Tournament, one version of Fates, Mega Man Legacy Collection, and maybe either Sun or Moon this year. (I can't decide on which one to get yet. I need to know the version exclusive Pokémon first.) Unless VC downloads count, in which case I plan on snagging Superstar Saga and Red. Maybe even Super Mario World, but I doubt that one will happen.

I haven't experienced anything too unusual so far, though I'm only starting the first temple now, haha. The camera feels clunky but it feels just like Wind Waker's camera, and I heard the GC version if this was on the same engine as Wind Waker.

In fact I'm a bit disappointed the "Title Screen Exploration Glitch" from the Wii version seems to be gone. I only found out about it and would have loved to try it in the HD version.

Lol i got the camera oob once

I laugh at everything except the female trainer, which is honestly pretty good design.

For some reason the design reminds me of the girl from The World Ends With You.

Oh, so that's why it sold poorly!

There were to many Fire emblem characters!
