If I'm being honest. I don't expect Shang-Chi or any movies following September doing that well given the delta and lambda variants.

Depending how things are by October-November I'm expecting movies to be delayed again especially Eternals.

You say that like remakes being faithful is a bad thing. Like… look at Crash and Spyro. Those games are pretty one to one in their remakes and yet nobody complained.
He really didn’t.
This. I have no problems with the remakes being faithful. They still look fun and having the underground back is great as that’s one of my favorite locations from any game.

My goal with the remakes is gonna be to win all the Pokémon Contest ribbons with my Darkrai, Zoroark and Giratina.

It's gonna be so splendid.

Reminds me of the Hex girl from Pokémon and Agatha Harkness.

Not bad.

She looks like a little **** lol I love her


I mean… the fact that he felt there had to be some sort of justification for the game being faithful when there doesn’t need to be kind of implies that.
I think you’re reading too deep into this.

fun pony drawing fact:

9 times out of 10, if you're stuck on how to draw cartoon horse, just imagine how a cat would look doing the pose you want

it actually works

cartoon horse is just cat

I’m really not. Like, why would you have a headcannon to explain the remakes being faithful unless you had a problem with it and needed to justify it? If you didn’t have a problem with it then why would you come up with that headcannon?

One thing I don't like about Quake is the lack of a pistol. I get that the enemies are tanky, but why have no pistol?

I'm going to say there's a 95% chance the Pokémon content in September's issue of CoroCoro magazine will only contain the stuff seen from the Pokémon Presents we just had.

October's issue MIGHT have some new details.

I can headcannon say, what the Yoshis were doing 10 after the events of YI, as a random example. That doesn't mean I have a problem with the original :yoshi:

I guess it’s the fact that he brought up the fact that the remakes were faithful at all. It immediately draws my attention to it due to all the hate that faithfulness has been getting online and puts me into the mindset of defending it.

I think it has more to do with the fact that due to ORAS, we now know it's canon that every alternate version and remake is a canon alternate reality.

I’m not saying there has to be a justification, but I could see that being one of the reasons. Ultimately it’s probably because it’s not GF making it. But from the looks of it, legends came first and they outsourced the remakes to them. Meaning there was some intentions on the design philosophy of these games.
My goal with the remakes is gonna be to win all the Pokémon Contest ribbons with my Darkrai, Zoroark and Giratina.

Zoroark probably won’t be in the dex simce
It’s Gen 5, but the other two are fair game. Zoroark is still a good pick though. I would love if it had a new form in legends actually.

There’s this to, each remake now kinda has this own timeline thing going on that separates the story from the main games. Which could also play into why they are faithful because it’s not the mega universe.

So if it’s not the mega timeline, is it just a retelling if the original timeline?

I believe that’s what FR/LG is, as well.

Decided to try and redo my Pokémon Smash ideas, this time I just put the kibosh on equal Gen representation and just filled the roster with other factors in mind and make it a round 56 characters, here’s what the roster ended up as:
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, Alolan Vulpix, Meowth, Machamp, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Mewtwo,otodile, Quagsire, Scizor, Heracross, Smeargle, Tyranitar, Grovyle, Blaziken, Gardevoir, Seviper, Absol, Metagross, Deoxys, Empoleon, Luxray, Garchomp, Lucario, Weavile, Rhyperior, Darkrai, Zoroark, Chandelure, Haxorus, Mienshao, Meloetta, Genesect, Braixen, Greninja, Aegislash, Sylveon, Hawlucha, Noivern, Diancie, Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina, Silvally, Mimikyu, Tapu Koko, Cinderace, Corviknight, Wooloo, Toxtricity, Grimmsnarl, Mr. Rime, Dragapult,

How does this sound before I create a visual and workshop movesets?

Did Corocoro have any new info during the Sw/SH lead up? I can’t remember.
No, they only had news that was showcased in a trailer sometime before that issue released. Pokémon themselves were the only ones to deliver news during the g

as far as we know yes. That’s why In ORAS, Looker has no memory and has no clue about megas. Because it’s implied he traveled through wormholes and the Looker in ORAS is the original platinum one. Which is why he doesn’t know anything. The Looker in Sun and moon is the XY one though.

At least that is what has been implied in the games. So BDSP should end up in the non mega timeline.

For a sweet guy you sure like edgy Pokémon :4pacman:

It’s alright, I ain’t judging.
Lol, It is true.
Although I can't help It, I do have a bias for their respective movies.

And can you blame me for It? The Darkrai movie for example not only has a great setting but also one of the most banging orchestrated OSTs I have heard in an animated japanese movie:
