I'm on the fence on buying the Humble Nintendo bundle...

- 6 games + a theme I don't own
- 4½ games I already own

If I do, I need to decide how to give away the game codes I don't need.

I logged onto imgur to get one of the photos of my amiibo collection, and apparently some dude posted a photo of their unmentionables and it made the front page somehow.

Speaking of Star Wars references, the following screenshots that I took feel like they reference Star Wars a bit.

Basically, Peppy faces unbeatable odds to destroy a giant battleship.

I mean it's not like the existance of Star Wars had a heavy influence on Star Fox.

Edit: THERE'S AN ENTIRE PAGE FOR IT.

So I bought Pokemon Black 2 and I'm gonna give updates on it but for now I can say that I want Sun and Moon to have the tutorials turned off and allow you to skip those automatic cutscenes

You a little late to the party. Just a little though
B2W2 are probably my favorite Pokemon games, gameplay wise
Also, be a real man and Nuzlocke it
No items. Notepad clause. No Pokemon Centers. Challenge Mode.
And silly you thinking GF will ever turn off tutorials

(And if not he's the pimp)

Well they're trans so...

I mean, I guess that could be the case with Jigglypuff. Flat out is canonically with Birdo though.

The idea of Sega and Nintendo having attractions at the same theme park is insane.

Not only would it show how the gaming industry has evolved, but also showcased how a rivalry has turned into a great friendship overall!

Every time I see the Inklings or Octolings with their masks off, it feels kind of weird.

Isn't that pattern built into their skin, or is there some kind of evidence that it really is just a mask?

It's just an internet thing to do that.
Of my knowledge, it's part of the face texture and not a seperate part.

The Scrappy ability would still be bad news, especially with Mega Lopunny hopping all over the place. Ghost/Dark learned that the hard way, even before the Fairy-type existed.

That reminds me back when I was in high school, my friend would hack his Pokemon Black 2 to get Pokemon with absurd abilities (Like Huge Power Slaking >_>). His favorite Pokemon of all time is Sableye, and since Fairy didn't exist, Sableye had no weakness. Cue the Wonder Guard Sableye. It worked for about a week, until I discovered the greatest thing since sliced bread: Scrappy Miltank. So my non-hacked team vs his hacked team went face to face.He decided to run his Sableye asap, which was a mistake. I had a Ninetales, so I went in with a Will-O-Wisp. His Sableyed killed it with Judgement, and I brought out Miltank. Brick Broke that Sableye into oblivion. Salt ensued. He quit for a week. Then he made the Huge Power Slaking. I already had a plan to counter this. He brought out Slaking first and wiped out 4 of my members before it fell. I had to bring out Miltank to save my trump card for the end. Miltank had a good run and knocked out 3 of his Pokemon, but to no avail. He brought out Sableye again. And like I said, I had a plan to counter it. Out comes the Galvantula. Thunder Wave, Gastro Acid, Electro Ball and Signal Beam set. Cue more salt and rage.

Scrappy Milktank?
Scrappy Kangaskhan is where it's AT!
Namely because Wondertombs were far more common and low kick on... I wanna say Life orb if pure atk kanga would 1ko even a defensive wondertomb

You can only catch a Pokemon if you have a slot in your party, no boxing, which means you can only have as much as 6 Pokemon alive at a time

I was considering that but I said nope to that.

I'll just name it Raiden from MK or Kanji from Persona.

I always assumed it was their skin. I mean, the squid form has the mask...

I have no idea why I chose Miltank, I just did. I had a Body Slam, Brick Break, Rock Slide and Milk Drink set on it. It was a good Miltank, but I think it got lost in one of my Pokemon Black 2 copies.

Well thinking on it now, either way they keep the pattern when they turn into squid despite not retaining clothes during that, and they seem to be outright born with it, so. . .

. . .Yeah, it's probably just an internet thing.

The was only on true "Pokémon" that was Dark/Ghost type with Wonder Guard:

Though it was only available via hacking (even though you also had to get around the error handlers to prevent it from turning into a Bad Egg) and only in BW2.

Don't use EXP share and it can actually fight back.

Only hard part is the 5th-6th section when I don't have any Fairy counters and only one freaking area to catch a Pokemon

Everyone was talking about Crash redesigns and no one paid attention to how nonsensical Tiny the Tiger's current design is?

In a video game franchise where most of the villains are mutated Australian animals, they turn a thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) into a literal tiger. I understand that it's a reboot, but what sense did that make?

 

[Burruni]

...So.
Isn't there like some Pokenews that's theoretically dropping tomorrow?

I think that's something about a closed doors event at the NYC Nintendo store.

Maybe it's a Cinco de Mayo party.

(Too bad MP5 was only good in the tank subgame)

 

[Ura]

I honestly doubt the closed door event means anything. We're all going to be holding out hope for something to happen and it will probably turn out to be some housekeeping meeting or something.

 

[Deleted member]

Tiny's Titans design would have probably received a lot less backlash if they made him into his own original character. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason he wasn't in Mind Over Mutant (and his only subsequent appearance was in a mobile racing game where all the characters featured were restored to either their classic or TwinSanity designs) was because of said backlash.

In a video game franchise where most of the villains are mutated Australian animals, they turn a thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) into a literal tiger. I understand that it's a reboot, but what sense did that make?

Apparently, the dev team at Radical Entertainment had little to no prior knowledge of Tiny when redesigning him.

Oh so we are on this subject again?

Where do I begin? I've always found the Crash Bandicoot games as an interesting take on the great outback with the best fauna as major characters. We have the bandicoots (even Crunch), Dingodile, Ripper Roo, and Tiny himself. Sure he's a bit more savage compared to the formerly alive species, but I knew he was a Tasmanian Tiger since day one. In fact, I actually found him one of Cortex's more unique henchman due to his unique design and badass take on an extinct marsupial.

Now the whole idea of making him a Bengal Tiger in the Activision games is where the line needed to be drawn. So you turn an existing character into a different species because people didn't know what a Tasmanisn Tiger was anymore or because he caused confusion in the past? This is where I would say bugger off and remind yourselves that the series was always based on the idea of Australian animals. That's like turning Mickey Mouse into a bloody marmoset. On top of that, you felt the need to make him a literal ***** cat just to give an already intimidating character more character. The real Tiny wouldn't even act like such a big coward instead of the scary bloke we grew up with. Crickey, I really needed to get that off my swollen chest.

Apparently there isn't a big Sonic E3 party this year or anything like that after all.

http://www.tssznews.com/2016/05/04/aaron-webber-no-big-e3-party-this-year/

It's likely just them announcing the game at E3 and having it playable, as the "E3 event".

y'know I've been looking for Kid Icarus Uprising for a while now....I don't know why I didn't think of this before but instead of hoping to come across the game in store I could just buy it in the eshop...

Can't say the same about Metroid Prime Hunters though...

gonna have to wait till some other day because I don't have enough on my account to buy it right now...want to finish ALttP first though...(I'll play Xenoblade eventually....?)
