Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[cashregister9]

They’re really dragging it out. Wonder why.

If I had to guess it is because the whole reason we have been getting new spirits is because of the anniversary and next week is the anniversary of Ultimate's announcement so ending on some sort of anniversary would make sense.

Almost forgot how big a part licking feet is in Snake Rattle n Roll.

Didn't know Chris Redfield was a pokemon fan.
I bet his favorite move is Strength.

 

[Noipoi]

In the time since the last Donkey Kong game, Pokemon Z was rumored about, hyped up, killed, awkwardly shoved into Sun/Moon, and then finally made manifest 3 generations later.

10 years is a long time

I think you mean Rock Smash.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

I think you mean Rock Smash.

Nah, he didn't smash the boulder, he just delicately beat the ever-loving s**t out of it until it moved

[ZephyrZ]

My guess is that we're taking the "entirely in Lumiose City" a bit too literally and we'll primarily get to explore the wild areas around the edges of it with the city itself acting a huge hub.

But idk.

Text, I choose you!

 

[TMNTSSB4]

oh Sakurai

 

[KillerCage]

Whoa, Chuggaaconroy reference???

Some of us are still recovering from THAT.

Talks of a merger between Warner and Paramount have fallen apart.

I think this calls for celebration.

THANK ARCEUS!!!

Good afternoon

I just had a panic attack when I saw this and I didn't even play Splatoon 2!

Based? Cringe?

I would be fine with any starter roster if it includes Piplup.

I’d prefer the Sceptile line over the Snivy line

 

[Shroob]

Consider though, Serperior has some vaguely French elements to its design.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

gotta catch em all

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Consider though, Serperior has some vaguely French elements to its design.

Consider though the final form will probably be a regional variant like last time.

 

[PeridotGX]

Based? Cringe?

Two things:

• This is my exact prediction for the starter lineup
• scorbunny looks very cute and polite here.

Consider though the final form will probably be a regional variant like last time.

It's not as cut and dry this time around. The starters could get regional variants, or megas, maybe even both.

 

[Noipoi]

The starters are 100% getting regional variants.

There’s a 75% shot they also get megas.

Exactly.


Make it MORE French.

 

[Noipoi]

Yeah, but Samurott was already pretty Japanese before Hisui.

 

[Shroob]

Anyway, sick with the flu today.



Been trying to get the Banded Dragonfly and Elephant Horned Stag for hours now in New Horizons and I can't get either. I can get all the other rare Beetles, but not the Elephant Stag for some reason.



And I haven't seen a Banded Dragonfly at all.

 

[Noipoi]

Anyway, sick with the flu today.

Get over that **** soon, brother.

 

[Shroob]

Get over that **** soon, brother.

Trying. Everyone in the house is sick.


Luckily I got a flu shot so I have the least severe case of it.

Okay, I have to know. What's the origin of this image?

The thing on the left looks kinda like a Trevor Henderson creation.

Yikes, I hope you feel better soon. The flu's never fun to deal with. Can't remember the last time I had it, but I remember it being awful.

I just found it on Facebook. Idk where it came from.

 

[PeridotGX]

here are some predictions for sone of the new megas in LegendZ.

the bottom row is basically just shots in the dark. take them with a grain of salt. Additionally, I wouldn't be suprised if we saw at least one NFE get a mega, to establish a precedent. That way, they can go back and give Mawile or Bannete or whatever an evolution without it being weird.

I want Mega Raichu and Mega Eeveelutions so bad.

You'll get Mega Pikachu and Mega Eevee and you'll like it

Flygon.... one day.... you'll be vindicated.....

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m fine with that. Honestly I am. It’s just that only Pokemon who don’t evolve further get Megas so unless they’re exclusive to the Let’s Go partner Pokemon… I don’t think it can happen.

 

[Noipoi]

Okay, Furfrou is obviously confirmed. And the elemental monkeys and the Patrat line are all part of the Kalos dex.

After this, every single Pokemon will be in at least 1 Switch game.

 

[NintenRob]

If they follow the same trend that Legend Arceus did, I'm gonna predict

Sinnoh Starter
Galar Starter
Paldea starter

Why them? Because:

I didn't want a line that already had mega's (No Kanto, no Hoenn)
I didn't want to pick an gens Arceus used (No Johto, No Unova, No Alola)
I didn't pick Kalos, because well. They'll already be there.


Of course, it's always possible they just pick Johto, Unova and Alola again. Give those other Pokémon from the trio some love.

 

[Jocario Zero]

Based? Cringe?

I am a simple man: I see Snivy, I like.

 

[Z25]

The starters are 100% getting regional variants.

There’s a 75% shot they also get megas.

Exactly, my prediction is still going to be they give you the Kalos starters early on like the Kanto ones in XY.

They then get Megas and the main ones get regionals to keep things distinct.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about

The starter trio is a shot in the dark, but I highly doubt it'd have any starter from Kanto or Hoenn, since those are Pokémon with Megas. Also don't think Paldea's getting anything yet, it's too early. And of course Kalos is immediately ruled out.

So basically what I'm saying, the starters will likely be a combination of Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, Alola, or Galar. And of course the Legends starters are not gonna be chosen again.

Now who exactly they would choose is not a question I can answer

 

[PLATINUM7]

Do you think we'll finally be able to get Eternal Flower Floette?
