There was a problem fetching the tweet
Well, screw it, I'll just say what we're cookin'. We're making a comic! And my friend Showtronic drew one of the comic's characters!

This is by far my favorite character, so I'm glad that he's gettin' fanart already

It’s not like it’s a linear platformer though. The stages are built to be explored. And even then, you unlock all the characters by level 2… idk. Doesn’t seem that bad to me.

Because the amount of backtracking just isn't fun.


Like, if I'm in an area, it sucks that I have to go back to a tag barrel just to collect like, 5 bananas for a single Kong, and then I gotta go all the way back to swap, but oh wait, now there's stuff for another Kong so I gotta go back and.....


It's tedious, which is why the mod that lets you swap Kongs on the fly makes the game frankly 100 times more enjoyable.

So Hisuian Growlithe Fire/Rock...Adding more fire types to the region is a good call since Gen 4's Sinnoh was notoriously short on usable Fire types. We could probably see more added to the ancient region later as well, especially considering there appeared to be a fire area

But making Growlithe yet another rock doggo is an interesting take. I'm kinda hoping that Arcanine takes even more influence from the Komainu statues, since that was what it was already based off of. Similar to how Rapidash became a more obvious unicorn for it's Galarian form. The rock typing of course coming from the fact that they are statues. Also notice how some of them are depicted with a horn on their heads very much like Hisuian Growlithe, not to mention Growlithe now having some swirly curly fluffy fur, Arcanine could don a glorious majestic mane similar to the Komainu.

Why did the people of the Sinnoh region evolve to be two feet tall when not in battle. Unsure how that helps them

You ever try to kick a 2 foot tall person in the face only for them to grow to 5 feet suddenly?

Konban wa, y'all! Remember me? If not, well...

This is the same elderly woman who stopped by this social thread on many occasions. Ya know, the one who mains :ultpeach::ultdaisy::ultrosalina::ultbayonetta1:; secondaries :ultlucina: and :ultisabelle:; favors the color pink in her messages; tends not to use contractions when posting; loves Tekken and Soulcalibur. I deleted my old account when this year started, for I made an alternate account out of envy and jealousy just to boost my number of likes. I eventually got caught for that, and I felt devastated with that blemish on my record. In the end, it was my fault for being so fixated on a decidedly irrelevant statistic like that, and most importantly, my emotions got me into that mess. I was close to the 2500 likes milestone, too, but with those ill-gotten ones...uh-uh, I knew I did not deserve those trophy points. Let this be a lesson to y'all; any time you get into trouble in life, remember that your emotions took you there.

Due to my blunder, I deleted my account and spent quite a bit of time to really get my mind right. I had to keep saying in my sleep the number of likes one has is nothing more than a mere number and that should not tell others how nice you are. It took daily sermons from the likes of Joyce Meyer and Creflo Dollar (both of whom I watch regularly for inspiration, but I digress) to get me to stop trying to comparing myself to others and just enjoy life.

And so, seven months later, I have decided to return with a fresh start and a renewed mind. I shall start by following the ones I remember dearly, then after that, just mostly sit back and enjoy what this thread is about--from speculation to memes and everything in between.

Before I step aside, master Ramen Tengoku Ramen Tengoku , could ye add me to the Weekly AMA? Such fun, the Weekly AMA!

As for everyone else here...I shall see y'all another day! :bowser:

Welcome back

Unfortunately, I'm gonna be holding on thirds on AMAs til I get through the rest of the current list just so people who haven't had their first or second can have a go.

Thankfully though we don't have that many people left, so you won't be waiting too long.

Which reminds me... next week's AMA subject shall be...
Pokelego999 Pokelego999 !
If they're available, their AMA will be up sometime next Tuesday

BDSP looks cute, with a smidgen of new features like character customization, following Pokémon, and additions to the underground.

Legends looks really rad. There’s a Stantler evolution and a Basculin evolution that’s covered in departed souls. And regional forms for Growlithe and Braviary. The battle systems have been ever so slightly revamped, there’s crafting and wild Pokémon kick your ass now.
