I haven't worked with the Typergy Form gimmick enough. So I thought I'd make another one for a Pokemon that sorely needs a new thing.

As for the ability, think Infestation but permanent until the Pokemon gets knocked out. And since Typergy forms are pure-type, the quad weakness to Rock Ledian usually worries about is knocked down to just a regular weakness. Scary!

Ledian would get a flying-type TF too, but you'd see me dead before drawing any more feathers.

As much as I know smoke detectors are important... god I wish there was a different way they could tell you they were going bad other than CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!


And the worst part is, gotta wait for the handyman to come tomorrow to even do anything about it since we're not supposed to remove them.

One thing I'd like to do for Typergy Forms is to give a Typergy Form for each Eeveelution.

I do have some ideas (imagine Vaporeon with a Triton trident tail!), but one thing I'm curious about is Umbreon. Typergy forms are built on representing the types each Pokemon have in its purest form. Umbreon is a pretty unique case for the Dark type, however. Many dark types are based around malice or cruelty or otherwise moral ambiguity, but some aren't based around that at all - and Umbreon is one of these. Umbreon is more based on the night and the moon than it is dark-type mean-ness. So really, Dark types could represent a lot of 'darkness' elements and Umbreon is perhaps the best example.

So I made two potential designs for Typergy Forms for Umbreon. Left being based on Umbreon's nighttime moon motif, the other being based on EEEEVIIIIIIIL.

Which one do you think works best?

That’s a hell of a prediction. I sincerely hope ZA, Prime 4, Kart 9 and Xenoblade X all get released in launch month. Nintendo really needs to have a home run right out of the gate with Switch 2. The hardware isn’t astoundingly different than Switch 1 and so the launch games or launch window lineup needs to be stellar.

$399.99 seems to be a fair price

Nintendo apparently not allowing retailers sell physical version pre-orders of games online

For most of spring, a lot of users have been reporting that online pre-orders for upcoming Nintendo Switch first-party releases, such as the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi’s…

I think Mario kart is a lock for sure. 8 did numbers on the switch and it was mainly because being a launch title, bundled with everything and just being Mario kart, really pushed it into the market.

So I think it’s a sure fire move to just do it again.

As for Xenoblade, I think that’s potentially a launch title since it is a port. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pushed till summer though.

Prime 4 I can’t see being anything but the holiday title. It’s been anticipated for years, trailer got a lot of views and excitement, dread sold well and made the brand more main stream. I think nintendo believes Metroid could be a big hitter and do well for the holiday season. A bold move, but I think it’s pays off for them.

ZA like I said probably falls at launch or close to it, unless they make that the holiday title. But I think prime 4 needs more of a longer marketing time frame than Pokemon does, so I’m sticking to ZA coming first.
