Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

The fact that the game's set current day makes it seem like things like Pokemon Centers, Breeding, and Abilities 'should' be in it.


But also, Shiny Hunters when they can't trade for a foreign Ditto so they can Masuda a Scatterbug.

All the Pokemon Daycares in the city will conveniently be closed

If you saw cool fanart of Jessie from Team Rocket dating Ash's mother you might want to know the person behind that made a pilot for a show

Some swearing so I need to warn about that but this is pretty fun, if this becomes an actual show, I hope it lives up to the potential shown

Along with all Pokemon Centers and the usually adjacent or combined Pokemarts.

Also fainting now results in the Pokemon literally just dying instead.

The game is now a Nuzlocke, but no longer a self-imposed challenge.

This is still a better excuse than what the developers of Skyward Sword gave for not being able to fly or explore the surface at night.

"Didn't you know that Loftwings can't see well in the dark?" Says the knight who's on a Loftwing literally flying at ****ing night because it was somehow trained to be better adapted to see at night.

I don't think Lumiose has any daycares in it, so that's that problem solved quite easily.

That begs the question though. Will abilities be in the game?

Ah... maybe? The damage boosting abilities(iron fist, sharpness, strong jaw etc.) wouldn't be too much of a problem, but stuff that affects evasiveness for example, might be trickier with real time combat.

They used a Moon Stone on it.

I can easily see Metroid Prime 4: Beyond show up in the Switch 2 Direct.

Even with backwards compatibility, making only a Switch 1 version could be a bad idea sales-wise.

Or just a lot of carrots. Like a lot of carrots.

Next-gen patch or 2 separate games, do you think? I'd hope for a next-gen patch.

So would a nocturnal Loftwing be a Darkwing Duck

 

[DynamicSmasher]

Maybe not immediately, but after a few thousand years, a mysterious race of nocturnal fowl would descend from the skies and into Hyrule.

And at least one of those Nocturnal Fowl would help the Hero of Time on his journey… and even repeats his info to boot!

And then just like that, the entire rest of the Zelda timeline was prevented from ever happening the second Ghirahim heard a voice screaming "LET'S GET DANGEROUS!" from the night sky.

Luxray and Ledian are two big ones I'm holding out for. I've seen a few concepts for a zero-to-hero Ledian that I've quite liked, actually.

I wonder what the gates to progression for the story will be.(I.E the gyms/noble pokemon/Totem pokemon of this game). Seems like they might be exhibition matches of some sort, judging by the end of the trailer?

If nothing else, I just want Luxray to either get higher speed stats or some other abilities to make up for it's lower speed. Here's hoping Ledian gets some buffs as well. It's not one of my favorite Pokemon but I'm all for more Pokemon being on even competitive ground with the rest that are considered most viable in the meta.

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. The last few Pokemon games have been taking different directions for singleplayer campaigns compared to most of the older games and I'm all for it.

EDIT: Didn't realize no one else hadn't posted yet. If a mod can merge this post with my above one, I'd appreciate it.

Update: The Super Soccer removal is worldwide.

This is the first game ever removed from the Switch Online apps.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Pokémon Showdown could make a Legends: Arceus format if they wanted to. Legends: Z-A though is out of the question.

I hope this doesn’t set the precedent for stuff like the Rare games being removed.

Beat Wolfenstein The New Order (the Fergus Timeline)

I really enjoyed it, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the characters, started playing it for wholesome Nazi slaying action and got more than just that. The gameplay was incredibly fun, I thought it would have just been a prototype version of Doom 2016 but it did it's own thing and all comparisons are pretty surface level. It does fall a little bit into the trap a lot of WW2 alt history stories do and portray the Nazis as "Super High Tech awesome bad guys" but it makes sure to also showed the absolute horrors that they commit too, it never comes off as "Reddit WW2 guy that is a bit too interested in 1940s Germany" as some other WW2 Alt histories.

And as I said the story and characters were way better and more prevalent than I expected, I really enjoy BJ and Anya.

Don't have the DLC nor do I have New Colossus or Youngblood, but I will try to get them in the future.

Nah, that'd be like if Nintendo released games in mid-development only to cancel them before they were completed when they didn't get enough downloads.

If the Z-A starters are getting Mega Evolutions and/or regional forms, I'm curious what excuse they'll make as to why that wasn't the case in XY

If it means anything, in gen 6, the Johto and Unova starters were only obtainable in ORAS

Uhhh the Ultimate Weapon backfiuring caused the creation of new Mega Stones

Or those particular Mega Evolutions weren't discovered yet

Or maybe they just won't mention it, it doesn't matter that much at the end of the day

Does it really need an explanation? We didn't need one when ORAS got new Megas.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Looking forward to the memes about the Mega form of Meganium being called "Mega Meganium."

 

[Z25]

Kinda wonder what I'm gonna do with the 3 Genesect that I don't necessarily 'need'.


Can't bring them into Gen 9 or anything.

Bring them to the Gen 5 remakes they are totally coming this year

All the stones in XY were a result of the weapon being partially fired.

Game even says the player probably didn’t find all of them.

The new ones could have just taken a few years for someone to find them.

As for the starters, being bought to the region sometime shortly after XY and the rapid chance in the eco system of the city, the starters naturally evolved to suit the habitat better.

 

[Aurane]

I kind of hope the starters get regional forms while the kalos starters get megas. So weird that they didnt.

A Gawr Gura figure I ordered from Good Smile last year came in today. I took photos of her with Miku and wanted to share a couple; one is in Mikuture, and one is with a Miku figure I also got from Good Smile last year (both figures are the Pop-Up Parade figures, Miku being the translucent hair version):

Spoiler: Mikuture

Spoiler: Miku Figure

They’re very cute

This is also my first time using Mikuture, I’m not sure why I haven’t downloaded it until now xD. I guess I wasn’t sure of good photos to take with Miku, but it’s really cool. There’s some other characters you can use in the app too, like Teto, but you can only use one at a time it seems (you can probably replace the background to take a photo with multiple at once, I’m not sure).
