No, you're just a bonsai tortoise...

I forgot Torterra existed.

Never mind, I'm amazing.

How can you forget about the magnificence that is Torterra!? Truly a one of a kind Pokemon...

Grass/Ground is one of those type combinations I'm surprised isn't more abundant, y'know....cuz Grass grows in the ground, maybe?...perhaps it's just me...

I can say the same for Bug/Ground and Bug/Water...

I wouldn't mind a Grass/Ground type.


The problem is the Quad-Weakness to Ice and that's something big especially if a Pokemon has high Physical Attack uses Ice Punch.

That's a OHKO. It's why Fire/Flying, Water/Rock, Ice/Dark and Fighting/Poison are really awful type setups

Soooo.... why is that a problem exactly?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

We don't have any big Nintendo characters missing from Smash 4 other than Wolf and Inklings. Anyone else is pretty much going into extremely obscure territory, or third parties which obviously are tricky to get. A future game, especially if it's a port of Smash 4, should focus on improving what's there already more than anything. Smash 4 already more than did enough to bloat the roster up a bit. There aren't any Nintendo characters left besides the Inklings that would make near as much impact as most of Smash 4's newcomers.

People had the same kind of concern about the lack of good potential Smash 4 newcomers and we still got an newcomer roster that hyped up people. Come Smash 5, I expect the same, with an emphasis on major characters created post-Smash 4 and franchises with revived popularity.

you mean besides the fact october being the month everyone goes all out with halloween or the fact that psychic steel and ground are month types multiple times?

Geez, that's like, the worst possible combination ever
One resistance and one immunity but four weaknesses and one of them is 4x

Well you do your own version if you don't like this one so much.

 

[Red & Green]

I never could really get Rick and Morty that well. I mean, it's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it's the kind of stuff for me. I really did like that episode with the clone parasites, though. (I do gotta admit the youtube short's absolutely amazing, tho)

If they create new IPs and characters that get popular and are utilized in games then sure.

At the current time though, the only really big Nintendo character left is the Inklings.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

But they do have all six seasons of The Nanny.

...

Don't ask

I didn't even know Netflix had Rick and Morty in the first place
Watch it online then though
KissCartoon is a good site for it

They also have Iron Man 3 iirc, but not the first ****ing movie. **** Dutch Netflix

I dunno, I might picked this game up solely for the fact that it has Rugby 7's

>limiting newcomers, even though two are on the front cover
>The singeplayer tournament mode is unlockable
>Still focused on the Miis rather than the actual Mario and Sonic characters
>Still no attempt at giving the console version a story mode
>No mention of online play
>No mention of Dream Events
>Lowest event amount in the series, less than the 3DS version and the original games
>Missed opportunity for Power Class Rugby Rosalina

Literally all this game is gonna be good for is ripping Rosalina's model from it.

Oh and the Beach Hub looks pretty I guess.

Did you sleep through the apocalypse or something?

No NX at E3.
Official statement from ~a week ago.

I knew that, just assumed they'd show off the new Zelda on it. At least if they repeat the pattern from Twilight Princess.

They've confirmed it will be on NX, but they are not showing the NX version at E3.

Zelda Wii U is going to be the only playable game at E3. They specified Wii U.

...I don't know. I had plenty of chances to form my opinion, but I don't know at all. I like WS,CM and StH, so I guess a 4

You have the same birthday as me, I'm Ground/Poison too.

Sonic might be coming to LEGO Dimensions.

Hopefully he's better utilised there than his amiibo is.

After reuniting with some old friends...

back from the dead

Yakuza has been defeated and Space Jump acquired...

(I know it's Serris on the thumbnail but it's still a relevant theme and an awesome remix nonetheless)

 

[PushDustIn]

Fighting-Dark type.

Literally Ganondorf rn

Flying-Electric. Pretty neat since I really like Zapados.

Also, I've been to so many recycle stores the past few days. I'm going to some more tomorrow. I really like going to recycle stores because they have so much video game history in them...and it's fun to find stuff for my own collection.

I've sold a couple things here and there but it's usually when I found something in better condition and I have a double. I found a Wario Land 2 boxed with the moustache stickers so I sold my loose cart for a dollar, for example.

I got a complete out of box N64 Pikachu with 4 controllers for 300 JPY (about 3.30 usd?). They thought it was junk, but I wanted the Pikachu controllers. When I brought it home it just needed a different power adapter! I also got a full Wii set for a killer price (which I'm planning on just modding). Just dumb luck!

For some reason I've been insanely lucky with consoles, more so than games. In the past, I've found a Hanshin Tigers Gamecube and a Tales of Symphony GameCube (like new) with a boxed controller for >30 each.

I'll snap some pictures of everything I got later this week. I have another full day of traveling tomorrow so I should be going to bed @_@.

Just like the hypothetical Opossum Pokemon I wish existed. :D

Is Opposum your spirit animal?

Kinda like me and Bulls

That....actually kinda makes sense for an Opossum pokemon...

playing dead, but it actually does become slightly dead...but not really...it's kind of ingenious....
