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

[KingofPhantoms]

Infinity was struggling? Well....damn. I thought it was doing way better than that.

I'm really disappointed to hear it. I wanted to get back into it, but when I do it's gonna be disheartening knowing nothing new will be coming out for it in the future.

For what it is right now, I still think it's pretty solid, and so I'm hoping to get a few more figures I've been wanting in the near-future.

If Disney Interactive is shutting down, would that not effect Kingdom Hearts?

While Square Enix is the main developer, the games always state "developed in co-operation with Disney Interactive".

 

[Opossum]

Only one I want is stitch.

I might have also wanted goofy...

That's the one figure that kills me more than any other.

We never got Goofy. Everyone saw him as inevitable since they do one of the "big" characters per version, but now...not so much. :/ It sucks because Goofy even had concept art.

He and Doctor Strange are the two I'm saddest about.

 

[Chrono.]

Just like Activision with Call of Duty and look where they are now. Infinite Warfare is the Federation Force of Call of Duty, making fans aware that they truly jumped the shark.

I guess Black Ops 3 will truly be the last game from them I'll ever play.

People say this about every Call of Duty.

I remember when Ghosts was the last straw. Oh how times have not changed.

 

[ChikoLad]

Disney Infinity ending before it got Goofy would be like if amiibo ended before they ever made Yoshi or something.

We could have had 6 Goofy Infinity models, between figures and Yarn Goofy.

I don't think Interactive is affected. Only Avalanche Software and Disney's publishing abilities.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Feel bad about Disney Infinity. I had no idea it was struggling when it was based on tons of mega IPs.

The game did seem interesting but the insane amount of figures was a turn off for me.

But is Infinity really THAT bad to also kill Disney publishing?

 

[n8han11]

So Infinity ended? That really sucks. I've been collecting figures since the very first edition, and to see it go out on such a downer saddens me dearly.

 

[Pazzo.]

Seriously now, how much you want to bet one of the new starters final forms gets in this hypothetical SSBNX?

 

[Wario Bros.]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Wait, wut?

It's interesting a whole country's Twitter is getting in the Pokémon hype but... wut?

 

[ChikoLad]

Sounds less like Infinity was struggling. It was likely still returning a profit.

This sounds more like the law of diminishing returns at play.

The company did spend a massive amount of money making the products. If you're not able to sell your products to regain the money that you've spent making them, then bankruptcy could happen.

 

[Burruni]

Nah.
If it comes out like next year I don't see them pushing in one of these starters.
And if it comes out around 2019-2020 like the next smash title "should" they'll likely be pushing in gen 8.

 

[Champ Gold]

I remember when Ghosts was the last straw. Oh how times have not changed.

People only care about CoD if only Treyarch is making the game nowadays.

Considering BLops2 online is still kicking today, it's less of people not liking CoD but not caring who makes it unless it's one developer.

Remember, the worst games in that franchise were MW3, Ghosts and somewhat Advanced Warfare.

Even people are starting to dislike Black Ops 1.

People are just tired of it. Atleast Ubisoft said "Okay well stop making AssCreed games and take our time with them."

Activision can't even do that. And the most of that hate is also from EA's announcement of Battlefield 1 where it takes place in WW1.

 

[Pazzo.]

Nah.

Assuming Smash NX is a thing and it'll have new content, would you say there will be a new Pokémon rep though?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

For all I know, it'll probably never happen.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

*shrugs* Nothing is guaranteed.

 

[Burruni]

Assuming Smash NX is a thing and it'll have new content, would you say there will be a new Pokémon rep though?

If it comes out next year, and presumably Sakurai hasn't been touching it, I'd only be seeing at most 5 new characters. Two of which being Wolf and Ice Climbers. The rest would either be things that were partially worked on or high-position ballot characters.

Cacturne
"If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, CACTURNE will follow in a ragtag group. The POKéMON are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving."
They wait for the traveler to tire so they can give him or her some water and help them get out of the desert safely by carrying them
Is there anything more Candian that that?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Every time I look at the Pokémon Sun mascot I can only think of "Mega Pyroar"

I might get Sun but it's still too early to know for sure.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

I don't know, that like-dislike ratio for the trailer is pretty damn big. Even bigger than Federation Force itself.

But you may be right, it will probably still sell because of how dedicated their fandom is.

Stanter? (I'm aware I'm stereotyping Canada with a moose but I don't know much else of the country).

I don't know if this is a joke, but just in case...

Cacturne's Pokedex entries pretty much point out that it's a patient predator. If wild Cacturne are following you, that's not a good sign at all.

Of course, for all we know, Cacturne may just absorb the body fluids of their prey, leaving them to dry and even perish.

 

[Z25]

Oh yeah the mascots!

After rewatching the trailer, both legends have a cosmic feel to them.

I'm thinking psychic/fire

and Dark/psychic

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Stanter? (I'm aware I'm stereotyping Canada with a moose but I don't know much else of the country).

It's bidoof

This exists so:

Most of their fandom probably don't care about like/dislike ratios either.
Some dislikes might just be for the music used but most probably are people that never cared for it in the first place followed by those unhappy with MW being locked behind a special edition.

That's not a nice thing to say about Cacturnes
Just because someone follows you at night with a ragtag group doesn't mean they want to kill you

 

[Depressed Gengar]

I'm not betting on it in the slightest since by the time the next Smash comes around, Gen 8 most likely will be in development. Even then there's other Gen 7 Pokémon to keep in mind.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Goddammit, when do we get Solgaleo and Lunaala's typings!

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

I came back just briefly to see how my buddies here were doing in light of recent announcements and my new approach to uni life. (That's a story for another time)

-Sun and Moon hype! I'm planning to go for #TeamLitten or #TeamRowlet.
-It's quite a shame that Disney Infinity is getting cancelled. That's very unfortunate news.
-Still trying to survive university, but with a new approach; instead of 'I must work or face the consequences,' which only gets me emotionally and mentally stressed out, I'm now adopting a more leisurely, "If at first you don't succeed, try, and try again," approach. The first year/session is often the roughest, and I know it can only get better from here.
-Enjoyed my time with the Overwatch Open Beta. Now it's the waiting game, and the next game on my list to get is the Uncharted series - the Trilogy and A Thief's End.

I'm just dropping by to say hello, but I'm not ready just yet to make a full return to the boards. Catch you later, and back to work I go.

 

[Fenriraga]

Welp. Today was a ****ing horrible day for me. Not in the best spirits...

Anyway... Pokémon talk still? I prefer Moon's mascot. Sun's is just kinda... generically beast-like to me.

And welp, rest in peace dreams oh KH in Disney Infinity. At least our backroom won't have to be overstocked with the damn things anymore.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's a lion...

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm not baking on CoroCoro to bringing more Pokémon info as I'm 98% expecting they'll just cover what was shown today .

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Goddammit, when do we get Solgaleo and Lunaala's typings!

Not for quite a while. I'd probably guess that the Sun mascot's typing is Fire/Electric, while the Moon mascot's typing is Water/Ice. Of course, the Moon mascot may receive the Levitate ability as well, seeing as it can fly.

 

[Chrono.]

The "sun lion" motif is rather overdone imo.

Still a good design, regardless. But I'll stick with the moon bat.

 

[Fenriraga]

It's a lion...

Yes. And we already have a Lion Pokémon. Plus I feel Entei fits the bill for being lion-like already...

 

[Aetheri]

Fire/Electric would seem a decent typing for Solgaleo...I do keep getting an Arceus vibe...if Arceus were a badass sun lion that is...

I'm hoping for a Dark/Fairy typing for Lunaala though...seems fitting and those two typings seem the most associated with the moon...

 

[Ivander]

Seriously now, how much you want to bet one of the new starters final forms gets in this hypothetical SSBNX?

I don't doubt the possibility, but will it happen is the question. I mean, Sakurai looked for a Gen 6 Pokemon before X & Y were even released and he managed to pick the more popular Starter. But even then, Smash was still in development for almost a year after X & Y were released. If a Smash NX releases anytime close to the launch of the NX, that would only be around half-a-year after Sun & Moon released. Would there be enough time to choose a Gen 7 Pokemon, get all the ins-and-outs of that Pokemon and still develop them in time for a release?

That being said, how many do you want to bet will say that Rowlet's Final Evo will be a shoe-in? You know, to complete the Trinity and etc.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Wait, wut?

I can't choose. My Ice/Steel Hockey Pokemon hasn't come out yet.

I was about to give my waitress a good tip. Then they mocked me to another waitress for not doing the math with a calculator.

[Z25]

Possibly this CoroCoro, if not, probably next.

And I just found a shiny murkrow in a horde!

I was about to give my waitress a good tip. Then they mocked me to another waitress for not doing the math with a calculator.

...

Pull out the calculator on your phone, and then get the answer to zero.

Tell her:
"Oh I'm sorry, but the calculator told me I should tip you this much. Then leave.
