oh hey I can share my nuzlocke progress here

View attachment 336073

Spoiler: Spoiler for Length

A while back I decided to start an UNPRECEDENTED series of nuzlockes that I call:

THE GENERATIONS BANLOCKE

Da rules:

• You can only catch the first Pokémon on each route
• You must nickname every Pokémon
• If a Pokémon faints it's DEAD and that mofo goes in the Heaven box
• (Optional) Hardcore Nuzlocke rules
  • No items in-battle
  • Set mode
  • No overleveling past the next Gym Leader's ace (for the Elite 4, no overleveling past the ace of the highest leveled Elite 4 member)
• Species Clause: If I catch a Pokémon once, I can't catch a Pokémon of the same line
• (NEW RULE)Champion Species Clause: If a Pokémon is on the Champion Team of one game, whether it survives to the end or not, that entire line is BANNED for all subsequent runs.
  • That means I can only use staple Pokémon once. If I want Gyarados for Ultra Sun I can't put it on my team in any game before that, or else I risk getting it banned.
• I decided to go through the entire Pokémon series with this ruleset, counting two versions of the same game as one game. I've made it up to Generation 6, so I've gone through 12 runs so far. Here are the summaries for each of them:

Spoiler: 1. Ruby

The first run and the only deathless one as of yet.

Spoiler: 2. Leafgreen

MIMIEN is so dumb in Leafgreen. Dude has the perfect tools to set up on every pretty much every major fight in the game. Backed up by the defensive monster that's Slowbro this game never stood a chance.

Spoiler: 3. Emerald

Getting Skarmory was so big. Minun (or Plusle) are incredibly underrated. Neg set up for every sweep in the Elite 4 (Fenrir wiped Phoebe and it was epic).

Spoiler: 4. Red

When I decided to make the challenge actually mean something and take on every game in the series.

Spoiler: 5. Crystal

The level caps in this game are stupid. The cap for Falkner is Level 9 (before Geodude gets Rock Throw) and his bird Pokémon have Gust & Mud-Slap, which is essentially omni-coverage. The cap for Lance is 47, and he has his hacked Dragonites. This game still gets destroyed by Psuedo-BoltBeam Alakazam
View attachment 336082

Spoiler: 6. Pearl

HOLY **** THIS GAME IS STUPID. One of the most memorable moments in this run was in the Cynthia fight. It's her Garchomp vs. Michelle the Obamasnow. Garchomp has four moves:

1. Dragon Rush, the second strongest physical dragon move & neutral on Obamasnow
2. Giga Impact, the strongest physical normal move & neutral on Obamasnow
3. Flamethrower, which is 4x super effective on Obamasnow and could destroy me
4. Earthquake, which is not very effective on Obamasnow

She outspeeds me which is scary, but uses Earthquake. Literally game-throwing.

Otherwise Girafarig Agility/Baton Pass + Torterra Curse SLAPS
View attachment 336081

Spoiler: 7. Platinum

The bloodiest run with 12 deaths and 1 full team wipe. I got bodied by Volkner but decided to go back and body him and the rest of the game out of spite. Ambipom is a CRAZY underrated Pokémon in Platinum. Give this dude some HP, Defense, and Special Defense EVs and he can set up Porygon-Z or another special attacker to destroy tough fights. Porygon-Z swept Bertha, Lucian, and Cynthia without any difficulty.

When I realized I forgot to cover the third version of Gen 1 and the first version of Gen 2 so I went back

A.K.A. The Odyssey of Crackass
View attachment 336077

Spoiler: 12. Black 2

A.K.A. All of my friends are dead the run because I lost pretty much all of my OG Team members before the E4 and then went balls to the walls vs the E4 and Iris.
View attachment 336075

Now I'm going through Pokémon Y, which I should finish soon as I've essentially beaten most of the game. Here's the progress update:

Spoiler: 13. Y (In-progress)

3 badges is pretty much most of the game because from here it's a nearly straight gym rush
View attachment 336087

Real talk Lunatone is heavily based. The Lucario encounter is NOT the Gift one, and the chances of me getting both the Route 22 Riolu and the Flocessy Ranch Riolu together were .25%. Actually incredible luck to tear up both games.

All in all a fun series of runs with a lot of fun moments and Pokémon used. I'm saving a lot for Ultra Sun because it's to Rainbow Rocket and I need as many OP Pokémon as I can get (as of right now the Eevee, Rufflet, Larvitar, Bagon, Trapinch, Magikarp, and Honedge lines are all being saved solely for Ultra Sun). Because of that I've used a lot of underrated Pokémon so far and it's been nice. Most times in a nuzlocke you just use the same old lines, so having a run that forces you to use other Pokémon by creating an extended ban list (some hardcore runners ban only the most OP Pokémon) is really fun.

11/10 would recommend.

Crackass the Poliwrath.

I dunno how you came up with that name but holy ****

So Warner Bros. meets Dragon Quest?

Instead of fighting Cloud in a Hercules world you fight Erdrick in a Superman world or something. IDK.

 

[Wademan94]

But yeah WB does have quite a few properties to pull from.

DC Comics, Scooby-Doo and other Hanna-Barbara properties like Flintstones, Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Tom & Jerry, Animaniacs, Any Cartoon Network original shows, Wizard of Oz, both Chocolate Factory movies, Thundercats, Iron Giant, Lord of the Rings, Gremlins, Goonies, Smallfoot, Beetlejuice, The Matrix, Casablanca, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mad Max, The Mask, Austin Powers, etc.

 

[Noipoi]

The game’s climax is a basketball match

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Harry Potter

Isn't the Harry Potter rights to Warner Bros. as Tarzan is to Disney? If rumors are true regarding Multiversus, Warner Bros. is currently trying to achieve the rights to use Harry Potter for the game.

The leaked roster is already a fever dream but I swear to god if we are able to have Austin Powers fight the Animaniacs I will die from laughter. I mean, who wakes up and says "I know a great idea for a game. Let's have Tom and Jerry fight Gandalf."

[SnakeFighter64]

Nips, or no nips?

Do inklings breastfeed?

Do they have bellybuttons? Did they have umbilical cords?

Are they more like actual squids? Are they hatched from eggs?

The Common Inkling is the cephalopodic equivalent to a marsupial of our time. While the young hatch from eggs, their mothers suckle their young.

 

[BlondeLombax]

I'm not going into specifics, but it looks like Crunchyroll is gonna be in some pretty hot water for the next week or so.

And that's all I'm gonna say about it myself, look 'em up if you want to know why.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Crackass the Poliwrath.

I dunno how you came up with that name but holy ****

Honestly...neither do I. All I know is that it's been my go-to name for Poliwrath for like a year or so. Crackass also carried me through Renegade Platinum when I last ran it in June, as evidenced here:

Guess you could say Crackass just appeared by their own volition or something like that.

1. Inklings do have nipples
2. I'm gonna say yes because
3. They do have belly-buttons, which means that they do have umbilical cords
4. Which means they were not hatched from eggs.

Good morning Smashbo-

You know on paper, a scorpion with wings should be the most terrifying things to exist.

But its actually kind if cute.

 

[TheMightyP]

So is now the time where I admit that I actually really like High Guardian Spice's artstyle? It gives me the warm fuzzies looking at it.

You know on paper, a scorpion with wings should be the most terrifying thing to exist.

That's why Gliscor exists

 

[SharkLord]

As much as I love worldbuilding I don't think I need to consider the reproductive habits and anatomy of the Inklings from Nintendo's Splatoon, thank you very much

 

[TMNTSSB4]

the right path

 

[BlondeLombax]

Yeah, I figured somebody would point it out. Needless to say, there's apparently a lot more issues than just not sending money to actual anime studios and a predominantly radical feminist crew. From what I've heard, a lot of the attempted representation can come of as offensive to those that the show is trying to represent.

Also practically every guy on the show is either written as an overprotective twitter white knight or a generic depiction of a toxic male.

So that's a thing.

So, uh

Sounds like Nintendo messed up with the N64 controller too if what I’m reading is right.

 

[crazybenjamin]

Here's some highlights from my Miitopia playthrough

Mario got mad at Inkling Boy because the latter was too soft on the enemies

Luckily, Mario forgave Inkling Boy after hearing the squid kid's singing voice

Mario and the Inklings then got kidnapped by the Dark Lord, so it's up to Luigi, Little Mac, and Min Min to save the day!

Here's a recap of the cast so far:
My self-insert Mii, an Air-headed Mage. War cry is "Alright!"
Mario, a Cool Warrior. War cry is "Let's a go!"
Inkling Boy, a Kind Pop Star. War cry is "Booyah!"
Inkling Girl, an Energetic Thief. War cry is "Booyah!"
Luigi, a Cautious Scientist. War cry is "Let's a go!"
Little Mac, a Stubborn Cat. War cry is "TKO!"
Min Min, an Energetic Chef. War cry is "Noodle-riffic!"

Granted I haven’t looked too deep into it: It could be people looking for things to be mad at.

But if what I read is true…

Heard people say the stick drifts and suffers from wobble. Apparently it doesn’t pair well with PC as well.

Bottom text

 

[KingBooGengar57]

I have a head canon for Gilgamesh. My head canon is that all the other forms of him that exist in the other FF games are the results of him morphing into different forms to remain incognito. He then uses the interdimensional rift to travel to different worlds to collect swords.

In all fairness, if you willingly bought an N64 controller in 2021, you deserve it.
