Excess Express at Dusk

What is with games having fire tracks that you only get to listen to for a brief moment?

 

[ZephyrZ]

Gliscor’s one of the best shinies in the game

Oh yeah. Love it when a shiny naturally comes with natural complementary colors, and a pitch black cape for a dramatic flair.

Hatched it in a quickball to for that matching color scheme.

I've been wanting to do this shiny hunt for so long, but Dexit held me back.

Gotta sell that soundtrack somehow, so why not play the best song you ever heard for like 5 seconds in game. Makes you want more.

So like what even is Pokemon Masters? I see the gacha but have no clue how it even works.

You tap the screen to make Pokémon fight. Three on three battles.

There are a lot of side stories that focus on the trainer characters, which are great for the weirdos who actually care about the characters in Pokémon.

 

[Z25]

So like what even is Pokemon Masters? I see the gacha but have no clue how it even works.

A gacha that hands out a lot of free units, listens to the fans, offers plenty of content and event, develops a pretty fun original carpet, with Ocs that actually have solid arcs. While bringing in characters from all the games and delivering on expanding more
Lore and character growth in individual side stories. It’s pretty well made imo.

Morning m'gamers

Ain't she a kid tho?

I genuinely want to know.... is there anything you guys dislike about me?

You're a little *****

jk you cool

She's legal by the events of SFV.

3v3 battles. The set up is similar to regular battles in the main series (stats, moves mostly act the same, status conditions, etc.) but with key differences that change the overall balance.* The big thing is that every 9 actions you perform you can perform a screen nuke. *Ex. Mega Pokemon have weaker screen nukes but gain buffed stats.

It's a gacha in that you have to pull for many characters and that obtaining duplicates of the same character unlocks additional abilities/customization. Most of the game is F2P friendly, with many strong units being free, and given the lack of direct PvP co-op, whaling is mostly up to you.

First time players also now have access to an exclusive but temporary gacha pool that offers higher 5* pull rates and the ability to pull for Red, Blue, and Leaf who are among, if not, the strongest units in the game.

More or less. It's Fan Service the game. Not that it's perfect, but the developers have also been pretty up front in addressing fan feedback, at least compared to say Pokemon Go.

Also the music remixes are fantastic.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Let's see, I didn't competitively breed my Gligar at all so to make it competitive ready I need

An Ability Capsule (200 bp)
A Impish Mint (50 bp)
5 Bottle Caps (25 x 5 bp)
A Razor Fang (5 bp)

That's 380 bp. Oh boy. I guess I'm not out of the grind yet.

 

[Will]

I just finished up killing every boss in Breath of the Wild. Took me about 5 total hours, goddamn. Thankfully all of the grinding gave me a good amount of rupees, got maybe 20k off of it, so it got me about halfway through buying the Compendium and got me the Ancient set from Akkala. All I really have left now is the Trial of Power and all of the sidequests I've been too lazy to finish. Still need about 30k to finish off the Compendium but I know how to grind for this stuff.

A truly F2P and community-respondent gacha game?

...Nah, you almost had me there for a second.

Lol nice

I'm seriously considering buying Switch Online, now that I got properly working Joy-Cons again. Not that 50€ expansion pass though, **** that.

Babe, wake up, new Jojo opening dropped:

 

[Metallinatus]

It’s basically combining Megas with Z-Moves (which imo Megas kind of should have been from the beginning).

I disagree, Megas in gens 6 and 7 are more strategic mons that integrate well with the rest of the team and can serve many purposes, you can switch them out and back in and just keep playing normally like they are just stronger Pokémon and nothing more.
Z moves and Maxes are nukes, their sole purpose is to make as much damage as it can in one go (except non-damaging moves of course), that's why Maxes only last 3 turns, that's why you can't switch them out, and if they make Megas nukes like that, for balancing sake, they would need similar limitations.

[Jocario Zero]

I think i'm going to play Pokémon Soulsilver again soon. I'm in no hurry to play the gen4 remakes and I'm really in the mood right now.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Humans can’t evolve like Pokémon because they don’t have infinity energy.

I was under the impression that infinity energy and aura were the same thing. The life force of the Pokémon world decided into elemental classes.

Babe, wake up, new Jojo opening dropped:

Wasn't expecting them to go back to the CG style openings of the first three parts. Very nice.

The Game Awards Has A "World Premiere" It's Been Working On With A Dev For 2.5 Years, And One Guess Is Zelda https://t.co/Oj05pJnNll #TheGameAwards #NintendoSwitch #Zelda pic.twitter.com/e0WXvBEP7P

— Nintendo Life (@nintendolife) November 28, 2021

This seems interesting, it’s probably something big name if its been in the works this long. Though aren’t world premieres usually used on games that haven’t been shown off? I’d also like to point out how well this fits Metroid Prime 4.

You're a little *****

jk you cool

In the Street fighter 5/3 time period she's in her 20's, I think, i know she graduated high school at that point and has a day job.I
I'm petty sure she was also 18 during 4 but nobody really pays attention to Street fighter lore lol

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

“I’m Fury Ogun. I will guide you to victory! Any who stand in our way will perish!"

Alignment: Dark-Neutral

Origin: Yoruba mythology. Ogun is a god of many facets and is both a skillful ironsmith who taught people to use metal and a fierce warrior who may kill his followers if they fail to show him respect. As a heroic spirit, he cleared the way of gods to earth with his ax. He has an aggressive and straightforward personality and is associated with spitting cobras and hunting dogs. His origin is Nigeria but he’s later incorporated into other beliefs like Haitian voodoo.

Skills: Blight, Agidyne, Heavy Blow, Fire Dracostrike

Next time you will meet a demon of the Herald race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Nice mask but not very inspired, otherwise. Still, I can see Ogun as a strong, primordial warrior with his eerily skin-like clothes. One nitpick I have is him wielding a spear rather than an ax. Ogun is sometimes sorted into the Zealot race, possibly due to his specific set of offerings. Predictably, he benefits from learning physical skills and possesses high endurance and strength.

I don't think Nintendo wants to show off Prime 4 until at least E3 so Dread can still get holiday sales in as it's still being promoted. Though even if it was Prime 4, you couldn't get me to care about TGA either way lmao

I just want my cool unique Pokémon to have a bunch of unique looking attacks. Also regular Pokémon are already nukes. It’s called type advantages and being at a higher level.

I know TGA is a joke but still surprised it took them this long. Mobile gaming is huge, ignoring it is like burying your head in sand at this point.
