Someone is going to make an Analog Horror series based on this.

“The deleted Pokemon game, no one was ever meant to play!”

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.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

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.

 

[Swaggod7]

I like you pineapple on pizza has become as controversial as religious or political views or opinions

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!

 

[ZephyrZ]

There's a snake looking like its holding up shedded skin. Gen III Scraggy?

It has a similar color scheme to beta Grovyle.

Where Scraggy and Treeko originally the same pokemon maybe? They are both lizards.

 

[Swaggod7]

there was going to be a LEGO movie about god, the Devil, and Jesus.

In one week I'll find out what this mysterious Switch playtest program is. I'm pretty eager about this.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

It has a similar color scheme to beta Grovyle.

Probably. Scraggy and the Pokemon that ended up being Grovyle likely being related near the start is deranged, lmao. Glad the devs changed that.

The last day of Smashboards before Wario Bros accidentally leaks the test program (October 19th, 2024)

Game looks absolutely gorgeous in terms of art style so I'm just laughing because it's the only way to hide the pain of not being able to enjoy these games anymore. At least it saves some money because jesus there are too many great games coming out

Poké Leaks

Spoiler

"The Great Detective Pikachu" film has been in development since 2021 and was planned for 2024. Unknown if it's delayed or canceled.

The entire plot is included.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

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.

 

[Guynamednelson]

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…

Mario and Luigi has now leaked online 3 weeks ahead of release.

If you want to be unspoiled, tread the internet carefully.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

The hacker who is posting all of this claim they also got PLZA and Gen 10 source code.

They claim that PLZA main storyline is almost completely done and translated to English, but still missing like half of side quests content or translations.

Uh, oh. That's not good.

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

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
