Do you think Baldur’s Gate 3 characters are eligible for Smash under the “game characters only” rule? As far as I know the characters only exist in the video game, but even then the game is an adaptation of a pen and paper rpg. A game without the video. That’s very different from a movie or tv show or comic. I feel like it should still be eligible.

Probably not, but if they did, I think Karlach would be the best fit gameplay-wise.

The raging mechanic would encourage a very aggressive playstyle in order to keep it going and would add a lot of visual flair as well.

Plus, we already know what one of her taunts would be:

Still on a Pokemon kick.

And you know, Primeape is one Pokemon I'm glad doesn't exist in real life.

Yeah yeah, it can get so angry it dies, but if that doesn't happen and you happen to upset it (which is EXTREMELY EASY TO DO)...it does not forget, it does not forgive, and it. will. KILL YOU. It will stop at nothing to chase you down and...get revenge. And even after it catches you and quite possibly slaughters you, it STILL does not forgive.

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

If Pokémon was treated with just a hint more realism it’d be an absolutely terrifying world to live in.

I’d still do it tho. Dragons and all that.

Oh definitely. Despite the threat of being mauled by a Primeape, singed to a crisp by a Charizard, and countless ways to die at the hands of legendaries, I'd still love to hang out in the Pokemon world.

I'd love to have a Meganium in real life. Just standing next to one makes you feel refreshed. Yes, I'll take 50.

For the most part legendaries tend to keep to themselves, hanging out in pocket dimensions, sleeping beneath the earth or roaming the world. They’re generally uninterested in human affairs.

Just as long as some shady organizations don’t start poking an ancient slumbering god, we’re good :nifty:

Unless a 10 year old makes friends with them and they get into professional sports as a result.

I've been watching the first two episodes of X-Men 97 lately and in the ending of the second episode:


I have been doing some research online and if this is true, then the Jean Grey we see given birth to Nathan Summers is actually Madelyne Pryor aka Goblin Queen, a clone created by Mister Sinister. Nathan will then go on in to the future become the one called "Cable."

Also the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon universe would be equally interesting to live in

Generally the Pokemon settlements are happy places but the world is almost always in some form of danger-

But there is also Loudred, so I am not at all bothered about the risks :101:

In other news, the PvE of Overwatch 2 was scrapped completely.

The PvE that, you know, was the reason we got a Overwatch 2.

I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
It’s a shame, they had massive franchise potential. But at this point people only care about Overwatch for one reason.

Also some serious news:

Kate Middleton, current Princess of Wales, has cancer and will be undergoing Chemotherapy.

There was a lot of buzz in the past few weeks about what was going on (lot of misinformation at the time).

Either way, Cancer is terrible and I wish it on no one.

I'll take Pokemon being real if it means I get to have my own Empoleon and Luxray.

Let's uhh, just hope that Team Galactic and the like don't become real along with the Pokemon.
Unfortunately there will be someone out there that starts a real life Team Rocket should Pokémon ever becomes real.

Or worse, Cipher.

Blizzard: "Overwatch's PvE modes won't be in the game."

Also Blizzard: "Actually, they weren't scrapped, they were just delayed. Here, you can play the gamemode by paying it."

Blizzard yet again about a year later: "Okay those PvE modes were scrapped for real now lmao"

Now that I think about it, why haven’t they brought back the non Halloween PvE from the original? Surely it can’t be too hard to do.
Logical answer: they want t move onto new content and keep Overwatch "1"'s stuff mostly in the past, even if that itself only ends up hurting the game further.

Biased answer: I'm fairly certain that Blizzard has no real idea what they're doing with the game at this point.

It really sucks because the game used to be awesome and had a really great start. All the potential the game had for other gamemodes, a lasting competitive scene, and a story that ties all of it's characters and settings together has all but been throw out the window at the rate the game is going downhill.

You know, that Brazilian leaker from a month ago said an Indies Showcase would happen this month after the February Partners' Showcase came out.

Do any of you still believe that? I ask because it is near the end of the month and I have not seen an announcement for an Indies Showcase.

Oh what luck I can be semi relevant. Lol

New Radical Red patch is out. Z25 Z25

  • Electirizer - When held by Electivire, boosts Fighting moves by 50%
  • Magmarizer - When held by Magmortar, Fire moves that deal damage lower target’s Speed by 1 Stage, and inflicts tar on the target.
  • Note: if target is already afflicted with tar or is at -6 speed, the Magmarizer effect will not trigger
  • Upgrade - When held by Porygon-Z, boosts Speed by 50% but prevents the use of the same move twice
  • Burnt Seed - When held by Sunflora, boosts Fire moves by 50%”.

    this plus the custom shinies and all the other changes look so good. Going to start a hardcore run again right now. Thanks for the ping!

Very sad to hear the news that the Princess of Wales has cancer and I do hope she gets the treatment she needs.

Like you said, cancer is a horrible thing in which no one should suffer from this situation.

There was a lot of buzz in the past few weeks about what was going on (lot of misinformation at the time).
That is the sad reality of social media and the Internet these days where sometimes they like to sensationalise and spread misinformation and lies for attention.
