Expecting anything from Smashboards

That was your first mistake.

I expect Pokemon discussion and memes from Smashboards. That's about it.

We live in a society

Damn, we do? Why wasnt I informed about this

 

[Noipoi]

The Nintendo Switch is now half a decade old.

I remember when the switch first came out. Really exciting times. I didn’t have one yet, so I’d watch every video I could.

I had the distinct feeling that, after the Wii U, Nintendo was finally gonna get back on track.

And I was right

I expect Pokemon discussion and memes from Smashboards. That's about it.

And in these trying times, we have to meme even harder than usual to balance all the Pokemon discussion.

 

[TheMightyP]

It's a good thing SWSH are old news because this site would be 10x worse if it were still fresh.

 

[Jondolio]

Finally got back to my PLA playthrough. I just quelled Electrode and my team of 6 is finally complete - Typhlosion, Torterra, Basculegion, Heracross, Togekiss, and Alpha Goodra.

Really pleased with this team.

They should've brought it back

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Snake race:

“ME SNAKE NOZUCHI! ME REALLY VIOLENT. BE CAREFUL YOU NO GET EATEN WHOLE!”

Alignment: Neutral-Neutral

Origin: Japanese mythology. A serpentine yokai whose name means “wild mallet” due to their short and fat shape. They are powerful and ancient field spirits, best known for their bizarre habits. Their bodies are covered in fur and they have no face other than a large maw on top of their heads. Traveling by rolling from the hills, they sometimes attack humans but can also shapeshift into a deformed version of them.

Skills: Lunge, Rakukaja, Toxic Cloud

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

Spoiler: Design Notes

Nozuchi is one of my all-time favorites in the entire series and I can’t even explain why. It’s just shaped like a friend to me. I love how its legend is translated into a furball with a trunk. Usually, yokai demons are a lot more loyal to the source material but I think Nozuchi was the right call to make. It is sometimes mixed up with other snake demons such as Tsuchinoko, which its design also draws some inspiration from.

 

[Mamboo07]

I'm loving Dedede's design!

Spoiler

He looks like a modern remake of the Crystal Shards incarnation from 64.

He can use a stone pillar as a improvised weapon like a club:
The use of extremely long and thick objects as blunt weaponry carried one-handed over the shoulder but swung two-handed in a devastating arc.
think telephone poles, street lamps, trees, cabers...

 

[ZephyrZ]

Saw Armaldo was trending:

Bruh how do people not know Armaldo. Literally was the fossil for the height of Pokémon for many. It’s also one of the best fossils design and typing wise. With a beautiful red shiny. We don’t accept Slander of him here! He’s literally in one of the best Pokémon stories pic.twitter.com/Dewm5GVSvd

They can’t do my boy dirty like that.

Not to mention that the prehistoric animal it was based on is also insanely cool and underrated.

Good ol' anomolocaris, symbol of The Cambrion Explosion.

I did some quick doodles for my ideas as to how the Gen 9 starters will evolve. What do you think?

I like them!

Fire Crocodile's evolution reminds me of the Tanystropheus:

an extinct 6-meter-long (20 ft) reptile that dates from the Middle to Late Triassic epochs.

I like the Sprigatito evolution, it's basically exactly what I want.

Not big on the other two though

I liked Sprigatito's evolution, even if I kinda want it to be bipedal.

Quaxly's final form looks cute too but I couldn't figure out the concept behind it.

 

[dezeray112]

One week until Mario Day

Think we'll see the Mario movie trailer then?

Hard to say. They could show a small teaser pending how far in progress the development of the film had been going and maybe perhaps show the full trailer possibly in June or July whoich would still be my safe bet

Back in November Shigeru Miyamoto said the film is "pretty much done" so I expect a full trailer.

She’s supposed to look like a fashionista diva Royal.

 

[Megadoomer]

I played through the Aperture Desk Job game on Steam - I thought it would be exclusive to the Steam Deck, but it's available on Steam for free and can be played as long as you have a controller. It's a short game, but it's pretty funny, adds some details to the Portal franchise, and it makes me wish that there was a short animated film about Aperture Science.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

A teaser is what I'm seeing most for the Mario animated film. Still too soon for an actual trailer which I feel will be in the Summer.

Back at it again drawing Gohan. Since someone did a redraw challenge for this shot I tried my hand at it. Might be the last full color drawing I do for a bit. I'm working on stuff, and after I do, I want to have a backlog built up.

My take on the #dbredraw of Super Saiyan 2 #Gohan! I liked this project quite a bit. Started by @MidokuTensei! #Dragonball #songohan #dbfz pic.twitter.com/WKfP2L3uFD

Got a bunch of pencil sketches done though, so maybe I'll post those after a week or two for a while.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

but would you have faith in a PG-13 Manbat movie? Similar yet different

I'd have no faith in that either. Movies like that should be rated R. As the Venom movies should have been.

 

[Z25]

I love the fuecoco one here:

The fun part of new starters is predicting what they’ll evolve into!

I really like Sprigatito and Fuecoco's evos here

Quaxly's looks like a slightly lesser version of another fanmade evo I've seen around but it's alright

 

[TheMightyP]

Honestly curious, why do you think that? A rating change would do no different aside from swearing more and more bloody, which doesn't really change anything except make it more edgy.

Unless you really wanted a Venom sex scene or something.

Don't tell me you didn't think the 15-minute uninterrupted graphic lovemaking scene between Eddie and Venom made the sequel movie a cinematic masterpiece.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I love the fuecoco one here:

These are all cool, I hope Fuecoco becomes a dragon-type but this would be interesting too.

Sprigatito’s is extra cool because Grass/Steel cat reminds me of the grass starter in Pokémon Uranium.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Marin Kitagawa tho…I guess people love her

 

[TheMightyP]

But seriously, if you're able to make a dark as **** movie without dipping into rated R territory, then that's a mark of a good director.

 

[osby]

An R rating is not even an indicator of how dark a movie is, to begin with, while we're on the topic.

For example: a lot of queer movies get that rating even if they have nothing explicit about them.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Fuecoco is a crocodile, a semiaquatic animal. Fuecoco also resembles a pepper, which is a plant.

This means Fuecoco will become our first Grass/Fire/Water-type.

I'm not gonna lie, the evolution is nice, but hard pass on Grass/Steel.

I read the first sentence and thought this was going to be a parody of Parry the Platypus theme lol.

He's a semiaquatic, fire-breathing Pokemon of action.

 

[Jondolio]

I played the Kirby Demo to the end. It's fun, basically just a Kirby game with more movement option, which is about what I expected.

I might pick it up when it comes out but I'm in no rush, I'm not the Kirby diehard I used to be

 

[Wademan94]

Marin Kitagawa tho…I guess people love her

I mean from what I’ve seen so far she seems incredibly likable (also it helps I’m a huge fan of her dub VA)

Mostly because just for the blood and gore. I feel making it PG-13 holds such a movie back. Plus the movies should've been more dark and horror-like of course with some touch of levity.
