The female trainer being this constantly pissed off scottish lass almost made me consider picking the girl trainer this time.

But then I realized I could call the male trainer Hiccup, and there's no way i'm gonna miss that opportunity.
Tbh I'm already kind of disappointed with Pokemon knowing that they'll never characterize the trainer this way canonically. It's honestly so entertaining to me for some reason, and it's probably responsible for me choosing the female trainer, unlike you, Mr. Creative-ideas-you-made-yourself.
i honestly love your idea, lol.

I finally got on a milestone page. :colorful:

As an echo, sure but I don’t see her having much else to make her stand out from her husband. Aside from the typical animation differences plus her wedge form and sound effects resembling her game the only moveset difference I can see is her inheriting this custom combined with the fruits from her game.

The wife doesn’t need anything to be different fighting wise. She’ll be like a worse version of Daisy echo wise
That quote ignores the fact that Microsoft would get a (probably sizeable) portion of the profits from all sales of the Nintendo version of XBLA.
What doesn’t it ignore tho?

I hope and pray that when the Pokemon Adventures manga gets to the Galar region, they portray the female protag this way. It's all I ask for.

How is Kirby low tier? Every Kirby I fight seems to be able to beat me pretty easily.

I remember that when I first joined speculation for Black and White so long ago, I saw nonstop bashing towards the starters and most new pokemon reveals because a lot of them were "too cute". "Remember when Pokemon looked like Pokemon and not Neopets" was something I saw thrown around a lot.

It's nice to see that the fanbase came around. Pokemon has always been cartoonish and cute. There'd be something wrong if it wasn't.

There's been a definite paradigm shift in the core design of Pokémon over the generations, but to say that this is a bad thing is ludicrous. It's just a thing.

Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon have a very unique aesthetic that is probably a result of them being designed as pixel art (or with the intention of being pixel art).

Oh damn, this is page 1800 huh?

Nice.

Edit: CRAP
So close, yet so far.

Because tier lists assume every character is used to their full potential. That's not the case in most regular matches.

Plus, Ultimate is pretty balanced for all things considered, low tier characters can beat hier tier ones unlike Melee.

I mean, not perfectly. Put an evenly skilled Ganon against an evenly skilled Pikachu and one obvious person is going to top out due to better range, combo game, and offstage potential.

A lot of Low Tier mains make their characters look better then they are just through raw skill with them. If you're a competitive loyalist who's still determined enough to win you find ways to squeeze every last bit of worth out of your main and learn to make the most of what little you have to work with.

I once scored second in a small Smash 4 convention tournament with Charizard before. I had a lot of people asking me if Charizard was secretly good or afterwards, and I'd tell them he was not - it was just that it was like a 20-person tournament I was just a bit better then your average convention goer.

Oh yeah it's definitely had a change in style, and having started with Fire Red I too have a lot of nostalgia for the classic Kanto look.
That said the old art style could still be really cutesy at times. Some of the strongest pokemon in Kanto were :143:, :149: and :151: afterall.

So what you're saying is "Maybe low-tier trash can beat a high-tier elite if he puts his mind to it."

That goes without saying, no game with so many unique characters can be perfectly balanced. But I'd say balancing team still did a good job.

I was going to make a Judge joke but I don't think :ultgnw: is low enough in most lists for it.

See, THESE are the types of memes and fanart the Pokemon community can be proud of :)

Really hope there are actually “Scottish” characters in the game, even if they don’t give that voice to the trainer officially

Gosh Event Hubs match up spreads are a joke. I'm doing some match up research on Mega Man (not going well) and Event Hubs claims he goes even with Bowser and loses to Ike. Yeah, one of the most annoying projectile spammers in the game is only even with a big body super heavy and gets beaten by a super slow guy who relies on outranging his foes to play neutral, makes sense. It's not like Mega Man could, you know, beat out Ike's nair by showering him in pellets or anything. They also claim he wins against Chrom but somehow still loses to Roy which is just nonsense.

Also apparently Lucina has zero bad match ups. Suuuuure.

First World Problem of the night: someone on a TF2 server I was playing on tried to kick me because he didn't like my XJ-9 avatar and called it "gay".

The vote kick failed by a landslide and a connection problem caused several players to lose connection the server shortly thereafter, including the guy who started the failed attempt to kick me.

I would've been annoyed at worst if the vote succeeded, since I already know damn well that people can be petty enough to want people gone just because of something as simple as their avatar, even when it's a completely harmless image, but now I'm just amused. It felt like genuine karma had come into play.

I assume Lucina (and Marth, Roy, Ike and Chrom by extension) have bad match-ups against characters like Fox who have equal or better speed along with actual ranged options.

I've been hearing they lose to Greninja in the competitive section. He's got great mobility and footsies to play a bait and punish game against them, as well for a decent projectile for when he wants to play it safe and try to out range them.I'd imagine that Fox would do well for similar reasons.

Mostly I just wanted to laugh at Event Hubs though.
