Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Shroob]

The stupid pedant in me wants to complain that it’s not Atlantis but something else instead (I just straight up can’t remember what they called it), but it’s a really small detail that makes the film way more powerful.

Apparently, according to Wikipedia, the place wasn't named until the Silver Age, which called it Atlantis then.

I mean fair I guess. And it not being Atlantis makes him more different from Aquaman. Still, the part of me that shouldn’t be acknowledged or given into is bugged by it.

Namor was cool

Easily the best Marvel villain in a while

 

[Wario Bros.]

All 5 titans beaten.

3 gyms and 2 Star bases remain.

 

[TheMightyP]

Also it goes without saying but Black Panther 2 is the best Marvel movie since No Way Home. Insane that we had a whole year of mid and straight up bad from the MCU (I did like Multiverse tho).

 

[Shroob]

Actually, question.


I heard that Overworld abilities no longer work.


Is that true? Sounds like it'd be a colossal pain to hunt Legendaries for the right nature without Synchronize.

Yeah, while I did enjoy No Way Home, Werewolf by Night and Multiverse Of Madness myself, I feel that most of the other projects were hit really badly by stuff such as the pandemic, the special effects stuff going on behind the scenes and overall Chapek's desire to release as much stuff in so little time for Disney+.

Hopefully now that Bob Iger is back, alongside the delays they have made for some movies to give time between releases and the income they have put into improving their CGI departaments, the overall quality does improve again.
We will have to wait and see for the next projects to release on Phase 5, but I do feel positive taking all this in mind.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

I've got under half a dex to fill. Hopefully I'll be done with my homework early tomorrow and be able to fill as much of it as I can

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Okay, this is officially one of my favorite bugs.

A part of me wonders how much this phase was held back by Kevin Fiege. Multiverse was scaled back significantly because of Feige's demands, Thor 4 was just ok but a lot of the humor fell flat (especially the last fight scene, that was just terrible), and Black Panther 2 was suoer good but to elaborate on my "the movie was good when white people weren't on screen", it's because the moments with the CIA genuinelly felt like an entirely different film, the humor was just bad, and they didn't do anything; it's like the humans scenes from Sonic 2.

But the thing is, that felt like something Kevin Fiege mandated and it really felt like he took the riegns with those scenes

I mean flame body works, so I don’t know why they wouldn’t keep previous Overworld abilities. I wanna say static works to, but I could be wrong.

One thing that's gonna suck about playing competitively is

Spoiler: Scar/Vio story spoilers

The Paradoxes aren't, as far as I can tell, treated as Legendary Pokemon, meaning they're not guaranteed the 3 perfect IVs afaik. Meaning you basically have to shell out bottlecaps for 'em en masse.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Namor was cool

Easily the best Marvel villain in a while

I want him to get his own movie with this nugget of a character in it. Subbie the Sea-Going Lad. Finally give him an overt connection to Namor.

Lord forbid if you wanted min attack IVs for the special attackers.

Bottle caps are really easy to get in this game, you can buy them.

Apparently, Synchronize did 100% lose its nature ability for whatever reason.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Any Scarlet players here need some Violet exclusives? I have all of them, and I need all of the Scarlet ones (Except for Stonjourner) plus I need some help with some trade evos and also need to evolve Palafin

Can't sleep so asking again

 

[PLATINUM7]

Can't sleep so asking again

Violet player here but for version exclusive Pokemon you could try the trade code system people are using https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-sca...01/how-to-trade-link-codes-version-exclusives

If you're up for it, happy to help get Palafin since I need it too.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

The bugs in Scarlet & Violet are funny and relatively harmless. IMO they should stay.

Weird, I wonder if it’s a big. That wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

 

[Shroob]

Afaik, no. There's nothing in the game's code to suggest that it has overworld functionality.

 

[TheMightyP]

Version exclusives are an intetesting thing. Like back then it promoted socializing and meeting new people in the age social media and the internet, a complete rando can just message you in like 5 seconds and vam a trade in mere seconds. Kinda lost it's whole luster but people still make choices bassed off what each game has.

Now that's hot take, especially since the world map sometimes flickers in and out of existence in a way that might b harmful to people with epylepsy.

Green Goblin and Harrow tho

I am unable to accept this possible Ms.Marvel, Megan Thee Stallion, and GOTG Christmas slander…or werewolf

speaking of Chapek…he really shouldn’t have been running a company with how **** he was at it. And the delays were definitely needed.

but the one thing the MCU is truly going to need in the long run is a clear leader of it all. Spider-Man is the obvious choice, but he’s to be shared with Sony. Doctor Strange has been seen as that guy by Feige, but let’s be real…just no…and Scarlet Witch could’ve pulled it off if she wasn’t in MIA mode now. Having someone being a major focus on the entire universe is always a must have. Otherwise, all the delays and stuff wouldn’t be fully worth it all story wise.

Ya gots ta remembah that the multiverse parts of Phase 4 was only meant to be a tease of what’s to come. The rest of the phase was mainly meant to introduce more character and have others deal with emotional damage (both good and mostly bad trauma).

Who tf is Harrow

I think they should implement ways to get these Pokémon yourself, just make them very rare. So you’re incentivized to trade if you want to do things quick, but the option is there for those who want it.

Not even December, and I've already finished my holiday shopping

Alright, I didn't know about that bug. That should be changed.

Got all the regular exclusives from randos

If it's from the tv shows assume I didn't watch it (cause I didn't and I won't)

Dang there goes more of my money. It's really cool to see Platinum version get some more love at least. I guess Hitoshi Ariga is giving Dawn Turtwig just like in Pokemon Masters instead of holding it for Barry.

Between this, Brendan, and the newly announced Katana Hero figure, my wallet/display case is going to be bleeding hard.
