Still makes no sense.

If I had to re-do it/make my own typing system for a Pokémon like game. I would do a three tiered system. Each Pokémon has at least two types, but have the ability to have three. The first two would be their elemental class. The type of magical elemental energy they channel. Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Ice, Lightning, and I guess Psychic and maybe Magic. Then the third one would be the kind of animal they are. Cat, Lizard, Bird, bear, etc. This is where we would find grass/plant, bug, dragon, and fairy. Fighting and Dark would not be types.
That's the thing - Pokemon aren't elementals. Types are supposed to vaguely describe their their general abilities or fight styles, not what "elements" they "channel".

The chart is a bit scattered, and not amazingly balanced. But I don't think having non-elemental types like dragon, ghost or fighting is really a problem.

So like does she switch forms or something that has tentacles. Like transforms from a human disguise into that?
Not really, lore wise she’s a human who picked up a mysterious book that altered her appearance and gave her the power to summon and control tentacles

Funny how a random guy in Ancient Greece came up with a wrong explanation on how chemistry works and now every JRPG has to follow it.

I mean, I’m not suprised considering how much representation Gen 1 has already
I mean. Gen 1 is the generation with the most iconic Pokémon. And this is coming from the girl who, if she had played it as kid, her first Pokémon would have been black and white. And who’s actual first ever Pokémon game was SwSh. Gengar would be rad. Meowth would be rad. Giovanni with his team :ultpokemontrainer: style would be rad.

So would Scizor. Or Sceptile. Or Zoroark. Or Urshifu.

Question. How many “new worlds” has the second pass added to the game?
How are we speaking here? Just characters or including stuff like Mii costumes? New to the playable roster or new to any form of content in the game whatsoever?

I left it vague more so to see what kinds of responses people would give. I would say, new to the character/stage lineup. But others would disagree with me even going that far due to the nature of games like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem.

By my definition, so far the pass has only added 3. For clarification. Tough I will say that even Arms is a grey area by my definitions.

One second I’m sitting there in outlook, writing down the amount of guests coming through on the wood(because I didn’t have a clicker) and then next thing I know I’m sitting here in the break room and it’s already 12:30.

If you don't count the Mii costumes, I'd say only Minecraft was completely new.

You mean Male Byleth ALWAYS has good art compared to Miss "gotta have hot pants to look good"
I think Fyleth looks good in everything they gave her tbh. Love me some Fyleth
Both Bylad and Bylass have their merits.

Although Smash did improve the latter's face quite significantly
I would like to say Heroes improved Fyleth's eyes as well (tho at the consequence of Rhea making me down bad for a moment of 50,000)
Calling all Fire Emblem fans! Calling all Fire Emblem fans! I need help with something related to your franchise!
you want to become Ferdinand Von Aegir?
