Social The Social Thread 3 - Ready for the Switch 2 Direct!

[SnakeFighter64]

I can only imagine if we get a direct this week it’ll be a Mini. Such a weird thing to do, holding a separate direct right before the grand reveal of your new system. Especially when February was open, But they wouldn’t be Nintendo if they weren’t weird.

ALSO

Spoiler: ZA rumors

Do people actually want a mega flygon based on its own merits as a pokemon, or do people just want it because GameFreak has openly stated they were going to do it but couldn’t get the design right?

People actually like Flygon. Hell, nearly every Pokemon has SOME fans, but Flygon is a legit pretty popular Gen 3 guy.

Flygon has always been a fan favorite, people love that thing. Fans were disappointed when it got skipped for a Mega in ORAS, and when they revealed that they were gonna do it but scrapped the idea, it made a lot of people upset.

So if they really skip it again there’s gonna be riots in the streets.

As a Flygon fan, I can confirm that we want a Flygon to get a Mega Evo for it's own merits.

So according to that leak that would mean

A part of me wonders if they're gearing up to bring back Megas for Gen 10.

Cause I'm assuming that every previous Mega returns, which would mean that they've been remodeled/retextured for the higher fidelity Pokemon games, so by all means are future proofed for Gen 10

Assuming this game pulls a PLA, this means we're all gonna get a perma Diancie, Volcanion and Hoopa too, which is pretty sweet.

I think that’s part of the reason they made Champions, to have somewhere else for the new Megas to go. It’d be weird if they only got to be in one game and the they disappeared for another decade.

*With a small purchase of the other Pokemon games.

Though at the same time, Manaphy (and by extension, Phione,) didn't require save data of other games, just knowledge of a book that they hid in BDSP, so I would assume one of the mythicals is baked in base game with no hidden requirements.

I bet Diance.

I'm telling you guys right now, the lore's gonna go ****in' nuts when Springtrap gets added to Dead By Daylight this summer

 

[TheMightyP]

On the topic of Diance, something I find interesting is that they're one of a very few examples of a Pokemon that underwent "real world" evolution.

The whole lore is that it's a Carbink that has a genetic mutation, and thus mutates into Diance. That's why they have similar stats (Diance has better (Spec) Attack stats but everything else is the same) and near identical movesets.

Tickles my brain as someone who really enjoys biology.

So there have been rumors that FNAF might actually be the biggest addition yet with Springtrap and the Mimic (whatever tf that is, I mostly stopped paying attention after Security Breach lol)

Most of this stems from BHVR being kind of weird and not clarifying if it's a "chapter," which typically includes 1 Killer and 1 or 2 Survivors.

Putting this under spoilers even though it hasn't got much to do with the leaks, just to be safe

People: The starters will get regional forms!
Other people: No, they'll get Mega Evos!

Remember Burntrap from Security Breach? The ending everyone said was canon?


Yeah, that wasn't canon. That was NOT the canon ending despite it being the only one that had a fully 3d cutscene. The Mimic is a bare endoskeleton that would have eventually 'become' Burntrap, but that entire bossfight is now considered a 'what-if' scenario.

Oh yeah I remember Scott saying something along the lines of
"Yeah I didn't give the devs enough input on where I wanted the story to go so they went and made an entire boss fight out of an Easter egg character"

Bro's so vague with the lore that even the people who make his games don't know what the hell is going on

And the Mimic is just a bare endoskeleton that likes to cosplay and can mimic voices and stuff..... Also apparently it's from the 70's and wasn't made by Henry or William and..... Yeah it's a "See? He was ALWAYS HERE THE WHOLE TIME!" kinda character.

My Nintendo Gold Points have been discontinued.

Digital preorders that were placed before yesterday, and physical games that released between March 24 2024 and March 25 2025 will still award Gold points, but all other methods are gone.

Gold points may still be spent until March 2026, with the one year expiration date applying.

Is there a reason why they're discontinuing this besides money?

Yeah, most likely just money.

The vouchers not being cross system also plays a part in this.

Someone’s gotta take care of DK. Rare’s been gone for years, Activision flaked, and Retro’s busy. So if no one else will take him, it might as well be his daddy.
