How...how did Engage get #3. I only did a single playthrough and didn't even enjoy most of it. Jeeze that's a game that doesn't respect your time.

I guess a lot of my Pokemon Scarlet playtime happened on an alt but still.

Hello fellow Splatoon player!

Who put “WBD in talk to merge with Paramount” on their bingo card today?

Because that’s what the news is saying

...

From what I read, Zaslav is mostly interested in the Nickelodeon content (well, the more family friendly stuff), for WBD’s streaming strategy.
Or maybe Zaslav wants a way out I don’t know

I'm sorry, WHAT!?!?
WBD has access to the entire Cartoon Network library!
Why do they need Nickelo- oh right.
They got rid a bunch of CN content for tax rightoffs.
Still I don't think merging with Paramount is the right move considering that WBD's biggest rival Disney is not in a good state due to all of 2023 failures.

Interesting, interesting.. INTERESTING! https://gonintendo.com/contents/301...id-was-behind-the-smash-bros-3ds-roster-leaks

Now we might know some truth about how did the ESRB happen, apparently it was due to this parent's child who was messing around on internet and posted stuff around... so this 'my dad works for nintendo' is a real thing for this one leak.

Something tell me that kid lost their video game privileges for life.

Can it be!? Nickelodeon vs. Cartoon Network is possibly one step closer to becoming a reality!?

You sir got 'd.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Paramount and Warner Bros discussion a merger together…****ing why tho

If this happens, it means we're one step closer to Nickelodeon vs. Cartoon Network happening!

 

[TheMightyP]

Actually I'm merging with Paramount and Warner Bros. We struck a deal.

They get: Bankruptcy.

I get: all their money and intellectual propertys

 

[Shroob]

this man is going to show up to sakurai's house with a million gold coins and a pitch

#IronMugulis did nothing wrong

Old Money and Iron Fellow set him up

Hope you treat the properties better than the current leadership

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Whatever the next Pokémon fighter is in Smash, just don't be any starters.

That has been done enough.

I want to agree, but seeing Joker and Meowscarada fighting side by side would too cool to pass up.

So next Gen will be Gen 10



Do we call it Gen X

 

[Noipoi]

I’ll call it Gen 10 but specifically to the tune of the Ben 10 theme song.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

First they give Lamb a gun
Now we can make people drunk
Lets go

not worth a massive merger

…bring back iCarly 2021 and I’ll support every business decision you ever make

 

[StormC]

Paramount has been bleeding money for a while but merging with WB is pretty close to a worst case scenario

 

[TheMightyP]

So today I learned that you can do the Teal Mask before completing The Way Home.

And not only that, but they actually scale the Pokemon levels depending on if you did or didn't. If you didn't, then Kieran's Pokemon would be in the 30s at the end of it. If you did, then they'd be early to mid 70s

 

[Z25]

Something to note though is that the last 3 Coaches are locked behind completing it, so even though I think it's likely to be Mystery Gift, I can't imagine that it'd be a super limited time since, you kinda need it to finish the Indigo Disc.

Well that is why you can only access this event if you have the dlc.

otherwise those coaches wouldn’t matter to you

Playing through the SNES DK games before the end of the year to will a new monkey game into existence

So you have to go to this specific bush, spin around for 20 seconds and then immediately take out the camera...

I kinda like it.

We live in the internet age, it’s easy for information to spread. So these crazy methods aren’t impossible to figure out.

It's also easy for misinfo to spread too, like Victini in Crown Tundra.

Unless he is there and nobody found him.

Hey now, it makes as much sense as Mew being under the truck.

He’s been waiting for 3 years.

They won’t drop the Gen 5 remakes until we find him.

This sentence wouldn't sound out of place in Found Footage film.

Honestly though, how giga brain would it be if Gamefreak just, announced on Pokemon Day they were updating Crown Tundra to include a Victini encounter to coincide with these supposed BW remakes.


And then drop a Genesect Raid in Scar/Vio and suddenly all 3 Gen 5 Mythicals are easy to get since Genesect is both a past and future Pokemon.

Pokemon fans realizing they have to boot up SwSh after swearing they'd never play it again

Also... this gif is larger than 1MB and I was able to upload it without a link, so did Smashboards update and nobody notice or...?

I'd deadass boot up the game again just to get Victini. That ****** and Genesect are basically now the hardest to get Mythicals aside from like, Zarude.

Why does Terapagos have Earth Power and Water Pulse?

My 5/6 members on my team is weak to one of those > : (

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Kurt Angle is the only man people can say “you suck” to and have it be the greatest compliment of all time

 

[KingofPhantoms]

While I haven't looked at my Nintendo Switch Year in Review yet, I have looked at my Steam Year in Review:

I'm surprised by how high Garry's Mod is since I more or less quit the game earlier this year. Spooky's would have probably been higher than L4D2 if I had started the game earlier than late September.

...12 games played total. I really need to play more of the games in my library and backlog lmao.

Beat The Indigo Disk

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is an interesting thing looking at it. It is a legitimately good game, Not just good for pokemon but a good game in general. The gameplay loop is satisfying and addicting, the characters are fun and memorable, all that being said, that whole statement has a huge asterisk next to it because of the lack of polish. I was one of the lucky ones and did not have that many performance issues or glitches, but I absolutely had some (The credits had a low framerate for gods sake). But it is a blemish that you cannot ignore (The fact that it is inconsistent might make it worse actually). I cannot fault someone for not liking this game at all for that reason.

While I think some statements are overblown (I would not call it one of the worst or buggiest games of all time) I cannot really argue with the statement that this game is one of, if not the least polished Nintendo game. And it is a problem primarily caused by the impossible schedule given to GameFreak because god forbid the cycle™️ get interrupted and TPC only makes 3 billion dollars in merchandise sales instead of 3.5 billion. We need some more breathing room between big mainline pokemon games.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.


Scarlet is the best worst game I've ever played.



I love the game. I hate the bugs. But I love the game.

 

[Noipoi]

Come on now.

Spidops isn’t that bad

 

[Shroob]

Come on now.

You're right.


It's worse.


Imagine being the game that's the pinnacle of powercreep in the series and you're Spidops of all Pokemon.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Come on now.

Spidops isn’t that bad

Poor Spidops, it can't even have merit as the crap early bug seeing as Lokix is actually surrpisingly decent. I may be biased as it's an unapologetic Kamen Rider reference but still

 

[Knight Dude]

I feel like the best Spider themed Pokemon is Metagross, and it's not even Bug-type. Ariados looks cool and Garvantula is pretty sick. I feel like eventually they sould have one that's actually 3 stages.

 

[---]

Speaking of Spider Pokemon, the female protag of the Pokémon manga series, Scarlet, was just revealed today.

Spoiler: She's a Treasure Hunter

She gives off school delinquent vibes. I'm just impressed they made Juliana's design look cool. The male protag, Violet, got Fuecoco, so I assume she'll get Quaxly.

 

[dezeray112]

Really looking forward to seeing how the SEGA's revived games will fare especially with Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.

Here's hoping that Capcom will take notes and potentially follow suit.
