I like to think of it this way: After 20 years, the dev team is finally giving themselves a vacation. :troll:

But anyway, what areas do you think would have been a grander approach for a region?
I do not know to be honest, maybe United Kingdom, Rome, or some other European country.

I'm wildly guessing they chose Hawaii considering the geography is similar to Japan, both being small islands.

Boom Baby!



Finals are over and i'm back!
RE: Pokemanz
Meh. Probably 2nd least favorite base levels (Only beating gen 6) We'll see if any becomes the next Oshawott (I looooove Samurott) though

Sun Lion looks AMAZING. Moon . . .bat? looks okay too I guess. Maybe more footage will make it look better. (I hope it foes)




I miss anything else in my short absence? Because there is no way I am reading those past few pages.


PS did anyone see this article on Lionhead? Talks about their closure and Fable 4 being denied

Welcome back Squall.

You seen the tagged post about Elite Beat Agents possibly coming to the NX? I would love to see them return with new music and minigames.

I need someone to talk to about it.

Also, if anyone is curious about my opinion on this:

Owl thing > Cat thing > Seal thing

IMO, anyway. If you think the seal is the best and the owl is uglier than and anglerfish or something, that's A-OK!

From what I'm aware, it's also every bit as much a Japanese tourist hotspot as it is an American one. It's to the point where even many signs are written in Japanese there.

So yeah, the dev team clearly had a vacation in mind when they made this. :troll:

OH GOD NO LITTEN'S LOOKING LIKE PIGNITE NOOOOOOO

Started a Y Wonderlocke, my team is Froakie, Buneary, Flabebe, Poochyena and Shuckle so far
To be fair, Litten's second EVO says it's a pure fire type.

Most second Evos of the Fire/Fighting starters finally get the fighting type added in

Has this been posted yet?
There was a problem fetching the tweet
The Rowlet one I could see, but the other 2 look way too similar. I mean, it's definitely not unsurprising for an evolution to have similarities to their previous form, but they still change enough to look different enough that it doesn't look like it just simply added a beard or a cape & frill like what the Litten and Popplio Evos did.

Yeah, even YO-KAI WATCH had huge Japanese advertisements there in Hawaii, so I can see the reasoning.
But ehh, it's not a big deal to me.

Oh hey BluePi. . .err BluePikmin11 BluePikmin11 is back. How you been? Only seen you post like twice on GAF. Not like you replied anyway

The one where they say "If the technology is there" or something along those lines?


As much as I would LOVE a new EBA, I wouldn't get my hopes up. I never do. But even then, he didn't sound too confident. Which breaks my heart. (Not as much as the Christmas level though)


Go get Bravely Second.
NOW.
I need someone to talk to about it.
I CAN'T BECAUSE I'M IN COLLEGE.


. . . but I will soon because my semester ends on monday. SO I should have it by the end of next week. . . Unless I buy the mega man collection and Fates instead. . .





And since I forgot to say, Litten is probably my favorite right now. As much as I love Grass types (all of them except treecko. Yes that means I love Meganium @Zoroarking ), and as much as I love adorable bowties I can't like Owlet. Maybe it's just because I dislike flying types or because I'm mad it isn't water type so I can call it a moist owlette


. . .and now I leave again.

Seriously having to bring the similarity of any of these evolutions to the prior should debunk this.
Because let's be serious.
What are the mid-stage of starters that look most like the base?
I'd argue Ivysaur, Monferno, and...Croconaw?
And there's STARK differences in design

I thought you'd like Popplio the best BluePikmin11 BluePikmin11

But now that I think about it...

Litten makes the most sense.

Popplio is highly underrated.

Fact.

Of these probably fake second forms, Litten is definitely the best

While I'm not the one to complain about dead memes, but I'm surprised no one cracked an O RLY? joke with Rowlett yet with all the hype that grass owl gets.

Well it's because it's a stale meme that no one made it. You wouldn't want to be that guy who makes super outdated memes

Still waiting for Pocky & Rocky & Becky & Knuckles
Isn't that on the Wii U VC already? Or are you talking about an HD remaster?
@Kirby Dragons: I'm pretty much assuming that that Twitter post is a fake. I don't see Litten's evolutions becoming bipedal like with what happened to Tepig and Fennekin.
I sincerely hope that Litten's final Evo is quadrupedal. Mostly because I would like some more variety than another bipedal. I mean, there are 5 Fire Starters that have a bipedal final Evo, with Typlosion being the only quad. Water isn't much better, with 4 bipeds and 2 quads(unless I'm wrong about Swampert). Grass has variety. 3 quads, 2 bipeds and 1 no-legged.

But still, I actually want to see a full blown tiger on all fours as Litten's final Evo.

I still can't believe they even did that.

What's next, an episode all about duck face?
Uncle Grandpa already beat them to that. Even if I don't like the show, it's a decent analogy of today's generation being attention *****s that do the next trend just to make them popular on the Internet. Duck face would be a perfect topic since many girls used to do that when Myspace wasn't dead.

Pocky & Rocky with Becky is on Wii U VC.

Sega needs to get in on this IP.

Typhlosion is still technically bipedal since all of his sprites and artwork depicts him as such...

But yeah I'd like to see a quadrupedal Tiger...nothing out of left field, just an awesome looking tiger...

He still runs and sometimes walks on all fours. And sometimes when he attacks, he braces himself on all fours.

Just remember, some cats, dogs and rats can stand and walk on their hind legs. Yet they are classified as quadrupedal.

Rewatching the Everything Wrong With Inside Out video is worth it for my week of school considering what I'll eat this weekend.

When Anger was pissed about San Francisco ruining pizza, I loved when CinemaSins said Chicago already ruined it. It's so funny because it's true. Deep dish pizza is more like a chunky meat pie with cheese instead of real pizza.

From what I heard about "real" pizza, it doesn't really sound like something I'd want to eat
