Social THE Social Thread 2.0

Funny that the profile pictures used on Pokémon's social media accounts still use the 25th anniversary image.

Why shouldn’t Scarlet/Violet use Legends battle system?

There's a lot of reasons it wouldn't wirk well for competitive. Items are gone, abilities are gone, status boosting moves are dumbed down, a lot of moves and interesting mechanics are gone in general.

But the big one is the new turn order system. In classic pokemon, if you're in a bad position you can switch out to try to rectify it, which is balanced because it takes a turn. This is the main form of defensive play. In Legends Arceus you can switch out and attack on the same turn - and sometimes even attack twice - before your opponent can do anything to respond. This kills defensive play and would shift the favor of the match in whoever gets to move first (even moreso then in traditional pokemon games).

Most of the mind games, strategy and adaption that define competitive pokemon would be gone, or at least severly limited.

HunterxHunter is a good anime

Also, I did nothing but draw all day. This drawing is based on this scene.

I traced this once to get a feel of it, but the drawing you see now was NOT traced at all. I'm actually high-key happy how it turned out.
Noipoi Jondolio Guh-Huzzah! MooMew64 and anyone else. Yeah.

Being a Persona fan is a lovely but absolutely frustrating and patience testing experience....

Just like being a Digimon fan outside of Japan.

Americans: WOw, ThE pRotAgs looK awEfuLl

Spaniards: lol I remeber wearing that as a kid in school, cool

 

[TMNTSSB4]

ya know…watching a buncha Batman movies is hella fun

had to skip Forever, & Robin, and will definitely skip BvS…make room for the good Bruce Timm Batman movies after all

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Who do y'all got?

You joke, but you might've just convinced me to pick the Scarlet version.

 

[Z25]

If the rival schools theory holds true, I hope that the opposing school outside of maybe the opposite gender protagonist, are just complete savages; incorporating the asshole rival trope.

It be a fun way to spark new life into that concept with an easy but good execution.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I'll be drawing this week's AMA in a bit

if any of y'all aren't currently on the list of future AMA subjects and would like to be added, please lemme know via reply or PM

lol I misunderstood this, i thought you were talking about the Capcom fighter.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I spent all day playing FNaF World. Even unlocked all the characters. No small feat of grinding to accomplish that. Wanted to do something that I found just purely enjoyable after the ScarViol was revealed

Pokemon fandom must be one of the few places where people compete with each other to see who can hate children more.

Not to mention that the new way IVs and EVs are handled makes everything significantly bulkier as everything can have all 3 defensive stats to the max. I hope Frostbite stays at least, that is flatout godlike

 

[Knight Dude]

The Fire Crocodile is kind cool.

The Fire Crocodile is kind cool.

I think it'd be more warm than anything.

 

[Mamboo07]

I too hate it when a Equus caballus belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae levitates in my house.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

This week's AMA subject shall be...

Spoiler

airConditioner !

If they're available, I'll try to get it up later tonight

 

[Will]

I find it funny Gamefreak just so swiftly swept Sword & Shield under the rug and went with the Arceus style.

How did Juan get in the house?

 

[Jondolio]

With PLA being pretty gucci and Gen 9 coming this year I can safely say that the Pokémon brainrot is back in full swing for me

 

[PeridotGX]

Me recognizing Spanish stuff in the new Pokemon game from taking Spanish in high school.

Seriously I see "gato" and I feel like a ****ing genius even though it's so basic.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Scarlet and Violet having Legends Arceus' gameplay is pretty cool. I'm glad I won't have to say goodbye to it. That said, they do need to tweak the battle system so PvP can actually be a thing.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Something I made when Sword and Shield was officially revealed that aged poorly and now has been carried over to Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon I'd like to see in #PokemonSwordShield

• A turkey
• An opossum
• A dolphin (Please? We're long overdue for one)
• Whatever the heck the Poké Maniac trainer was cosplaying as in HeartGold/SoulSilver pic.twitter.com/Rtf0gSKEzg

— Wario Bros. (@WarioBrose) February 27, 2019

How the flying **** do we still not have a dolphin Pokémon?

At this point, i dont give two ****s about a dolphin pokemon anymore and i kinda am sick of hearing people cry about it

 

[CannonStreak]

I would like to see an echidna Pokemon in the new games. Don’t ask.

 

[PeridotGX]

Because this game takes place in Spain, where Metroid Dread was developed, they should make Quaxly evolve into Raven Beak. Not a Pokemon based on him, just Raven Beak himself.

Heard you guys like flamenco

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Femme race:

“I’m Femme La Llorona. Oh, it’s nothing, you just remind me of somebody I used to know.”

Alignment: Dark-Neutral

Origin: Mexican mythology. A ghost of a woman who roams waterfront areas. Her name means “the weeping woman”. Originally, she was a beautiful woman named Xochitl who married and bore two children from a wealthy Spanish man. After learning that his husband has an affair, she drowns her children in a fit of rage and then kills herself in the same river out of regret. Unable to enter the afterlife, she’s forced to stay on earth.

Skills: Media, Hysterical Slap, Bufu, Dustoma

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Holy race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

La Llorona is commonly depicted with a white dress, the tasteful flamenco cut and skull patterns are a novelty. The lack of eyes, while making her seem a little like an extra in a manga, is a very interesting choice to reflect her endless wailing. I think she’s pretty unique as far as MegaTen ghosts go as there’s a clear history from a region not commonly visited by the franchise. I’d like to see her having an actual speaking role, as she has a pretty tragic and clear personality.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m sorry but there was never enough room on this stage for both of us!

I don’t know. I’m bored. And I’m kind of jealous of all of you from being of y’all. You all got something to be excited about yesterday.

 

[ZephyrZ]

What if instead if K.Rool fire croc evolved into this?

BHM: THE FINALE (bye bye negros!)

Well, it's come to an end. 28 Days of Black History, 28 days of fun. For the very last day, I'll be posting my own personal thoughts.

Spoiler: My own thoughts

Tbh, this project was far harder than expected. It was tough finding black people in the industry, I had to jump through many loops and hurdles to find someone new. Was it worth? Yeah. But did it make me a little sad? Also yeah.

For those who were stuck under a rock and somehow weren't aware, I am a Black male who has hopes of making a fully fledged game one day. However, seeing the state of the gaming industrt doesn't give me hope. The lack of diversity and the blatant racism is one thing that's turns me off. Seeing people of my color make it through it does fill me with hope. They signed up knowing the issues, and yet they still made it through and made it work. But they all had the same sentiments: where the diversity at? And as for me, I really hope this industry sees a shake up or something.

ATM, if I were to do something, I'd go indie or work in a small team. I may be stromg, but working at AAA at the cost of my mentao health and prejudice ain't worth it imo. But I can applaud those strong enough to brave through it.

Regardless, just know this: I am a black male and I will not let the world forget that. They may try to trample on who I am, but I will get back up 10x stronger. This world doesn't belong to the majority.

I'd like to thank y'all for reading all 28 days, or skimming, or just liking without reading. I know a black person on the boards is like finding a shiny Pokemon, so I was kinda worried how y'all would take it, so I was very happy to see that y'all liked it. Happy February to the white folks, happy BHM to my ******.

Thank you!

 

[Jondolio]

After thinking it over, I'm team Fuecoco

I like Sprigatito's design more but I also think there's a lot more ways they can **** up its final evolution

You like 3D platformers, right? What do you think of that new Kirby game coming out next month?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

welp…no more Euphoria until 2024
no Marvel until March 30th
no Proud Family until Wednesday
no other Disney animated series until Saturday (Owl House…Amphibia…hella long wait)
no DC shows until whenever Young Justice returns

but at least I can continue my Batman movie marathon for The Batman

and

at least I can begin my WrestleMania + KofiMania marathon starting tomorrow

 

[Metal Shop X]

Heyy, coming by just to say that I just finished my Half-Life journey! Fr the past few weeks/months, I been playing in order:

Half-Life 1
Blue Shift
Opposing Force
Echoes (A really dang good HL1 mod that fellow a nameless scientifist POV)
Half-Life 2
HL2: Episode 1
HL2: Episode 2
and finally
Black Mesa

If we count them, I also played & finished Portal 1 & 2, just before I played or finished any HL games in fact hehehe.

Suffice to say tho, despite some epic fails here and there and some GAMER rages at some sections. I greatly enjoyed my time with this series, and if there's any good ass HL mods that I can play in the future, you bet I will give them a try. So long my computer can handle it.

With that all said, next up is me finishing Doom 2016!

 

[Knight Dude]

Behold, I drew Vegeta. I'm honestly happy with how this one turned out! I got a bit better at drawing him.

I still have to refine how to draw Toriyama's style, but it's hard to break new habits, especially those that work better for literally everything else I draw.
