My God, BDSP's Elite Four is something else. Even with the buffs my Pokemon got from having high affection, the Elite Four managed to put up a good fight. And Cynthia. Oh my God Cynthia. If it weren't for my Infernape living two hits it shouldn't have due to affection Cynthia would have destroyed me. Even with that, I still won by the absolute skin of my teeth, just barely outspeeding Cynthia Garchomp with my Weavile. This is easily the hardest Elite Four in the series, especially so if forced affection buffs weren't a thing. I mean, Cynthia's team is fully EV trained and has perfect IVs in almost every stat.

Are affection bonuses really mandatory in BDSP? Really? Wow, as if Forced Exp Share wasn't enough.

I’m legit panicking right now. How overleveled is my team going to have to be? Sure I’ve only played SwSh, Let’s Go, and now XY but like I’ve never had to worry about IVs before. I one shot Leon’s Charizard with Max Thunder! How am I… what am I…. what do I do!?!? I don’t do strategy! I can barely think! Like I can plan but then when things don’t go as planned (like the opponent not using specific moves at specific junctures) I panic and can’t adapt! How am I gonna beat her!?!

Maybe you can check a guide or playthrough to see what strategies other people used?

It's Pokemon, as long as you have the right team, you shouldn't need too much strategy switch on the fly.

Just finished watching Arcane yesterday and uhh holy **** was it so good. I did not expect a show based on LoL to have this much effort and quality put into it.

Highly recommended to everyone. Yes, everyone, including non-LoL fans.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE



“I’m Megami Tlazōlteōtl. I'd say pleased to meet you but my… what a filthy little thing you are...”

Alignment: Light-Law

Origin: Aztec mythology. Tlazolteotl is the goddess of both contamination and purification. She’s the patron deity of adulterers and steam baths. Her epithets include "death caused by lust" or “she who eats sin”, reflecting her sides as a deity who causes sexual diseases in ones who indulge in carnal misdeeds and but also pardons such people. She’s commonly depicted as a woman with divine excrement smeared around her mouth and nose.

Skills: Mabufudyne, Diamrita, Dekunda

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Jaki race. I hope you look forward to it...

If I had a dollar of every toilet demon in MegaTen, I’d have at least three dollars. Jokes aside, I really dig her design. Even though most of the Aztec-inspired details are on her toilet bowl, she still has references to her myth, like the “dirt” marks around her mouth and the dismembered head referencing the human skin she wore. The sun disk on her back is a weird touch, though, as she was more closely associated with moon cycles. Fittingly, she learns anti-poison skills.

The final Street Fighter V presentation featuring Luke will be shown today.

Looking forward to watching the first two episodes of Hawkeye tomorrow when it comes on Disney+!

Yo can you imagine an DC Elseworld story where Superman landed in Saudi Arabia whether past or present being found and raised by Ra's al Ghul to be trained in the League of Assassins? That would be a pretty good story there.

Also Superman landing in prehistory being found and raised by Vandal Savage as his son using him to his advantage in shaping human civilization as it is in hopes of eventually ruling the world.

You know Pokémon Conquest? The Pokémon Tactics game crossover with Nobunaga’s Ambition? Elevator Pitch. Same idea, but with Fire Emblem. And you pull a Kingdom Hearts with legacy FE characters all being recognizable but being non-canon to their original entries and that way you can have Marth, Ike, Roy, Robin, Corrin, Chrom, Lucina, and Byleth all in a game together without crossing dimensions.

Edit: And just to be clear, this would be clear, this would be Fire Emblem x Pokémon. Not Fire Emblem x Nobunaga’s Ambition.

Oh man Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is gonna get massacred. Released on the same day as a Disney film as well as West Side Story and Spider-Man: No Way Home coming out so soon. It ain't gonna stand a chance in the box office.

Well, the lack of marketing and the already unfavourable reviews is going to impact Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City's box office run. Plus I do generally believe it will be tough competition since it is going head to head with Disney's Encanto, the House of Gucci and Ghostbusters: Afterlife's second week run in the box office.

I think December is looking more likely that Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to sweep the box office since it is projected to make an estimate $135-180 million on opening weekend.

Even October which would have been a more fitting month would have been pack. All corners around it would have dealt with Venom 2, No Time To Die, Halloween Kills, Dune (End of October it would have had to deal with Eternals the next week).

Couldn't escape any competition apparently. Mid-Late September probably would have been the best time.

In other news, I'm SRing for a Shiny Mesprit as we speak. Got a good setup to do so optimally, and I'll be using my Master Ball here since I don't have a Wobbuffet to trap them and use the usual Premier Ball. I'm about 200 resets in so far. I will let you all know when I get them~

Venom: Let There Be Carnage should had kept their September release date but they shifted it to October due to its uncertainity of the pandemic.

If it wasn't for the box office performance of Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings, the films that had been scheduled would had faced more delays.

Nintendo is disturbed at what's been going on at Activision-Blizzard

You know, for Nintendo, a company that they themselves have done some shady things in the past, to be completely disturbed by Activion-Blizzard's sexual harassment and toxicity in the workplace, is really quite nuts.

NIntendos "shady* stuff isnt compatible to sexual assault. Its pretty easy to be disgusted at that when the most you have done was stop selling a game after a certain date
