You are legally prohibited from calling Gold "Ethan" if you so much as acknowledge Silver's existence.

Elio & Selene

I don't get why people keep using this for Sun and Moon when they were literally never given any official names. Just call them by the game versions by default, Sun and Moon aren't bad names either

 

[DevaAshera]

Unpopular opinion time.

Ethan is a much better name than Gold by virtue of being an actual name.

Maybe, but no one calls him that.
This is why Red & Crystal still have great names though since they are still real names too..even if they butchered her name to Kris at first when it was probably spelt as 'Crys', short for Crystal, originally like it was in Pokémon Adventures...I'll never know why they didn't just use Crystal in English..it fits in the English version unlike Japan..

If you are one of those people who let leakers get in the way of you wanting characters, than that is low.

You should always choose how you want your character not because of some leakers.

If you choose Steve even though you preferred Banjo because of leaks, then you are going to get a sore if Banjo gets in Smash Bros.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Never forget that Adventures also named the X and Y protagonists "X" and "Y". (they justified the latter by saying her name was short for Yvonne, but that doesn't help).

Shouldn't have the male been named Y and the female been X, though?

It makes more sense...

 

[Deleted member]

Assuming I like both legendaries the same like B&W, IDK whether to get Sword or Shield

On the one hand, I think Swords are rad
On the other hand, I think Shields are rad

I would say just get both but then I remembered they aren't going to be $40 like every other mainline game and not everyone has $120 to drop on what is essentially two copies of the same game.

I still think IndieGamerChick has at least some credibility.

There's that Indie Gamer Chick Collection from Microsoft, and she has gotten some things right even if other things are completely wrong...but the chances of her getting Microsoft-related stuff correct is likely, as I think her correct stuff is mainly Microsoft and maybe one or two things about the Switch when it was still the NX.

 

[Idon]

I've actually only ever called gen 2 trainer Ethan. Didn't know people outside of the manga fans even called him that.

 

[Deleted member]

Here's your DLC line-up better appreciate it:

-Joker
-Sans
-Sans 2
-Ness
-Game Theory

You're not wrong.

That sure is an unpopular opinion.

 

[Deleted member]

Ya'll try talking down Adventures's naming conventions but we just gonna ignore the super good LORE it gave by having Lacktwo as a secret agent working with Looker and Whitwo being a former Plasma member looking for N.

 

[Androobie]

Calling it right now, the ugly bunny is going to be a soccer player, Zinith's wet dream will be Nessie, and the best boi will be Ringo Starr.

I got your back, my friend.

Did it stop the internet?
Did it stop the internet at Gwen Tennyson?
Did it stop the internet at Raven?
Did it stop the internet at virtually any anime?

I absolutely hate pedophilia.

Some of these Sobble pics just make you scratch your head...

Silver works a lot better as a name than Gold IMO.

Now Blue? He was stuck with a dumb name.

Nah, the stories were top notch. I love Adventures.

It's just the names that are dumb sometimes.

Joker is secretly Papyrus from one of the many Undertale AUs.

 

[Deleted member]

Banjo is the DLC character that I'm most confident in.

I'm not even 100% sure why, I just feel like with the Microsoft x Nintendo stuff and the Duck Hunt thing, Banjo seems inevitable. Hypothetically speaking, if Nintendo and Microsoft were to finalize a Smash deal, they would HAVE to be aware of Banjo's popularity.

 

[Will]

I absolutely hate pedophile.

I mean, I'll pop with Omniverse Gwen. She got them alt. aesthetics and is an adult.

Now Blue? He was stuck with a dumb name.

how much you wanna bet Oak named him

 

[Schnee117]

Silver isn't too far off of Sylvester so it works in that regard.

 

[Roberk]

Real talk I'm not sure if I'll drop $60 on one game, there's just too much coming out this year and Y'all know they'll have a 3rd "improved" version within a year that punishes you for buying the base game.

Its because the names used in Pre-Release Media is primarily seen as their 'Official Names'. Since Nintendo called the boy 'Elio' an the girl 'Selene' in pre-release screens and video, they were seen as the closest we had to canon, although 'Sun' and 'Moon' were used first, but this is common for the games. Selene was also used in official merchandise.

Oh, Banjo's popularity and not the immense fanbase of both Minecraft and/or Halo, the latter which actually getting a new game as we speak? Or maybe even Rash from Battletoads, or Fulgore from Killer Instinct, Rare titles that are still alive?

I know the Chief is deconfirmed, but you're putting Banjo on a way higher pedestal than need be.

"Being a mod wasn't so hard!"

*sees notifications after waking up*

"...oh."

You're not wrong.

That sure is an unpopular opinion.

Is that the best boy I am seeing?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

ugly bunny

This is your definition of ugly?

 

[Will]

people really be out here naming their kids sylvester

 

[Zinith]

Zinith's wet dream

Um...

Well he does get wet as a water Pokemon, so.... you're not wrong

One problem with that..we haven't had a 3rd Version since Platinum in Gen IV...in 2009..literally 10 years ago.
Gen V was Black & White and then direct sequels, Black 2 & White 2.
Gen VI was X & Y. That was all..aside from Gen III remakes
Gen VII was Sun & Moon, and then enhanced remakes, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.

They're called Blue, Gold and Ruby and there's nothing you can do about it.

I remember the XY prerelease(especifically the E3 thing showing off trades and Talonflame) using some dumb names like Xavier so I don't consider any of that canon

I'm just saying that Banjo is the most requested choice for Smash out of the three guys you mentioned. I'm of course not 100% certain that Banjo is in, but I do somewhat think that he will be chosen over Steve, just my opinion.

 

[Deleted member]

Is that the best boy I am seeing?

His Highness the Crown Prince Ozychlyrus Brouev Tantal, also referred to as Zeke von Genbu, also known as Zeke, or the Zekenator? It sure is!

I'm actually just as much of a Zeke stan as a Morag stan lol

 

[Opossum]

Silver being short for Sylvester is my headcanon now.

"Sylvester, I left for the glory of Team Ro-"

"It's SILVER now, dad. God."

"I went through this phase once too, son."

 

[TheCJBrine]

Well they have to have seen a lot of popularity for B-K or else they wouldn't have that big statue or the Totaku figure (alongside Conker), or the plush.

Apparently Loot Crates also have B-K this month, but idk what that entails company-wise.

and there's still what I said about IndieGamerChick, and Phil Spencer supported them for "the next game" back during Smash 4 days, and he has said he'd like them in and even talked about people asking him if it's just PR.

 

[Will]

Bring me the Smash Ballot and prove this.

And even dare bring a fan poll and I'll smack you with Alucard so hard.

 

[Idon]

Japan be like:

Red picks charizard, the red pokemon, that makes sense.
Of course then, his rival would pick the stronger pokemon, squirtle, the blue pokemon... so we should call him... GREEN.

Oh right, and the new girl protagonist we added; well there's only one color left so let's just COMPLETELY IGNORE THAT AND MAKE UP A FAKE COLOR AND CALL HER LEAF.

 

[Deleted member]

I still think “Pokémon Eclipse” would’ve been a good 3rd version of Sun & Moon.

Zeke's by far my favorite XBC2 character. My favorite characters from Xenoblade are always the dumbasses with hidden depths. Like Riki.

It'd be great just for the Berserk memes

So

Spoiler: Regarding the BW arc

Black really ended trapped in a ball and ****ed off while White was just crying on the ground?
