Really cool to see the weird Blaziken/Latias hybrid.


Seems like it was gonna be a much bigger deal.
I’m guessing it was just Latias at that point and torchic was going to be something else.

Really interesting nonetheless that it got reworked into a starter.

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble
I haven't been keepong up with the new M&L game like that (I should though) but... these ****** got Chaos Control now?


Yeah this game's gas.
Mario and Luigi fans when it takes like 30 seconds to do 1 attack on your turn (They don't play other RPGs and assume this is fine)
So here’s a **** ton of beta and canceled pokemon from black and white as well as Ruby and sapphire:
You gotta be ****ing kidding me beta Simisear looks infinitely better than the final one, it wouldn't get the reputation as 'least popular pokemon ever' if it stayed a chonky lad

Considering they had to lock down Latias's design for the movie (also there's a separate sprite), it really is a surprise to see. It doesn't seem to be a placeholder for Blaziken either from what I was reading.

I'd be especially curious to see if the Beta Lati Trainer has a sprite as well given a version of her was being used up until the last moment for official marketing. Heck just a few years ago, The Pokemon Center was still selling merch with her on it; I still have the Sugimori Collection painting hanging on my wall.

Having read the Nintendo Dream interview for BW, this is very fun to see. I always wanted to know how Pokemon like the original Karrablast evolution, the colorful and more complex Reshiram/Zekrom, Oni Throh and the like looked, and we finally got a good view of them. I ultimately prefer the final designs we got for the majority, but it is always nice to get a glimpse into how these Pokemon developed from their original concept to the final product we get in the games.

I like you pineapple on pizza has become as controversial as religious or political views or opinions :201l: :201o::201l:

I'm surprised they're even making a sixth Ice Age movie. The fifth movie didn't do too well domestically and the Buck Wild spinoff was critically ravaged. Feels like the audience of Ice Age has long since moved on by now.
Weird how we only see humans in the first, then Pangea breaking and the earth core activating, then dinosaurs and the LITERAL SOLAR SYSTEM BEING FORMED HOW THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF LIFE WHEN THAT HAPPENED!

Started seeing people say the leak was the result of phishing which ended up getting someone from GF doxxed.

I think the marsupial lion is becoming one of my favorite prehistorics. Carnifex by Matthew J Hellscream which I'm currently reading is really getting me into the animal.

A predatory marsupial with bolt cutter teeth that filled the niche of big cats in Australia that lived 40,000 years ago. Probably had the strongest bite force of any mammal that lived.

I wanted to see how /vp/ reacted to the leaks

They're a million times more focused on the stories written by GF themselves about human-Pokemon relationships than anything else.

I am not surprised.

Speaking of leaks…
View attachment 395171
Mario and Luigi has now leaked online 3 weeks ahead of release.

If you want to be unspoiled, tread the internet carefully.
this year alone having Insomniac and Game Freak hacked and leaked to have their plans exposed while Mario and Luigi have a whole game leaked…oh and I guess the Suicide Squad game leaks. 2024 does not care damn

Yet the leaker thinks by not releasing the game it will prevent him from going to jail.

Have I got news for them…. They are cooked regardless, they low key should have just posted it.

Oh yeah, in those leaks is documents from the Pokémon anime, such as beta designs for Paul, the original pitch for horizons, tons of concept art for the movies and series, and more.

But more importantly, the horizons section has leaked two new megas as there is documents going over how they should include these new megas in the anime.

They are mega Zygarde and Mega Zeraora

To think that there's folklore stories that involve **** in the Pokemon gigaleak...
This is a Greek mythology moment.
They’ve been really prepping for Gen 10.
Also crazy how GameFreak writes down stuff like "sexy latina pilot" in their design docs and yet the fans go for...

nevermind
Anyone who didn’t already think Skyla was peak, was wrong to begin with.

Well

One's WAY MORE SHOCKING than the other so



Understandable, really. Even I'm a bit aghast at what I read there lmao
She is not no damn 15 lmao.

But actually, I think they refer her as a young adult in the game so they probably changed her age.

Probably for the better


Edit: There is no probably yeah it was 100% better lol
