So I decided to browse through the Pokemon Gallery on KYM and I found a page of the Pokemon Adventures manga which was just... wow.

Zinnia gets impaled by Rayquaza's tail and then gets blasted by a Hyper Beam. You even see a bit of blood as well.



This is just... WOW. I know there was blood before in the Manga too (Back in the RSE arc, Ruby gets hit by a Dragon Claw from a Salamance and is seen with blood coming down his face while protecting Sapphire from the Salamance, the Pokemon Manga can get REALLY dark at times).

What the hell.....
Pokemon is usually only dark in a subtle way (Pokedex entries) but this is the last thing I would describe with the word subtle

Oh trust me. The Pokemon Manga can get DARK.

Blue's Charmeleon slices an Arbok in half early on in the Manga, Ruby gets hit by a Dragon Claw and is seen bleeding from his forehead from it (He eventually gets two scars on his forehead from the attack), Black gets trapped and turned into the Light Stone along with Reshiram (Guess you say he's technically dead or in a deep sleep until Reshiram is awoken again) and from what I've read of the XY Manga so far. The hometown that you start in in XY, gets DESTROYED by Xerneas and Yveltal, which causes Shauna to lose her Furfrou. Plus she even attacks X/Calem, Y/Serena and her friends while being possessed by a Honedge and LITERALLY swinging it like a sword, she ends up injuring Viola, the Bug Gym Leader.

If you wanna see how dark Pokemon can get, DEFINITELY check out the Manga. It's also the best bit of media outside of the video games that I've gotten my hands on and that does the games justice.

Oh geez. Pretty sure the only thing that was as slightly gruesome as this was when Ruby got hit by that dragon claw, like you said. I mean, at least he has a reason of wearing the dumb hat lol

Man, I need to get back to reading Pokemon Adventures, I finished of at BW


Also Red x Blue (girl) best ship

Ffamran Ffamran : The Baiken leak has been confirmed fake.
Too bad, I was hoping to play the game with her.
I guess now I'll have to stick to Blazblue and Mai/Es.

Oh. ._.

Figured as much since it was a "leak" with no real gameplay or anything at all like Street Fighter V's Laura trailer leak. Just a screenshot. Even if the story mode leak was real, it wouldn't matter since stuff like that happens in a crapton of other games.

Fake confirmation if anyone's interested: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/inde...ion-2-console-is-out/&page=271#comment-962430.

There's always the older GGs that she's in. Otherwise, Jam for Revelator and hope for Baiken.

Leaks have gotten to the point where unless there's concrete evidence like a game literally running or someone unboxing an actual product are the only things plausible. Screenshots and the like are becoming easier and easier to fake. There's going to be a point where it's going to be easy to fake things like running games or products. Either you're just crazy enough or that dedicated to do so. Can't wait for leaks of Nvidia's GTX 3080 Ti being unboxed and running with fake numbers and ****.

They're cool and all -- being able to make something look plausible and close to the source material --, but because they happen so many times, it's not meaningful anymore. Leaks used to be like, "OH DAMN!", but now they're, "Here we go again..."

Oh, and predictions are also BS. You guessed that Villager would be in Smash 4? Good for you. What? You want a cookie or something? I've got sandwiches instead and they pack a punch. Unless you go Splinter Cell on a freaking company's offices, photograph, copy, and/or steal their stuff and present those, "confirmed predictions" are just lucky guesses. At that point, you're just insane and stupid to risk jail time over some trivial thing. Patience, imbecile.

I just wait for official news and official blunders like the Laura leak or failed early trailers. "Whoops, we just released footage of Final Fantasy XVI. It's just a month before TGS 2018, but whateves." Epic fail for them; epic win for us... unless the game's utter crap.

Not gonna lie, the manga sounds like an interesting read.
There was a problem fetching the tweet

So I've now given the pilot of ClassicaLoids a shot.

It was a good episode. Had some laughs here and there, being directed by the same director who worked on Gintama since Episode 100.

We know who is the straight man in this comedy so far. Being Kanae who is the Granddaughter of the former owner of the mansion. While her friend Sousuke along with Beethoven (Voiced by Sugita Tomokazu) and Mozart (Voiced by Yuji Kaji) are the comedic characters.

Hopefully we'll get more funny comedy as the series progresses.

ClassicaLoids gets 3 :4zelda:s out of 5.

Even in death D.Va is annoying trash

So, she's like all gamers then?
:secretkpop:

Speaking of trash, here's a trashy OW video that is slightly nsfw. BTW, I'm basically nAna from 1:00 to 1:55 when I play as her. OFC nAna after 1:55 is probably Cress! Cress!

Whadafok?
The context is that Ditto is Lucario's Dad because of how easy it is to breed using 1 Pokemon + Ditto. Ditto is genderless and can breed with most evolved non-legendaries so it's pretty common

There's another comic where it references having perfect IVs, which are another part of Pokemon breeding

If you look at the other Lucario and Ditto comics they have you'll see that Ditto is usually embarrassing Lucario by doing typical "dad things"

Ditto breeding is kinda creepy if you think about it

Some purple blob transforms into fake versions of other Pokemon (and also of opposite gender) to make more of that Pokemon, then it transforms back and does the same thing with countless others

IRL it wouldn't work, even if ditto could transform, because it doesn't expand the gene pool.


...unless Ditto contributed to the gene pool but that opens up a bag of new problems.

Pokémon aren't real creatures, so there's literally zero point in trying to rationalize their genetics and how they reproduce

Not really; it doesn't have to expand the gene pool to sire or birth. Family members can still get each other pregnant and all that jazz

The interbreeding may be a problem, but I mean, pokemagic. That, and dittos aren't a large component of the greater species' offsprings, so any possible birth defects would be minimal to nonexistent. That's further expected due to how compatible the average pokemon is with one another; this is a series where a ghost can mate with a pile of sentient sewage to produce an egg, and a house cat can find love with a sperm whale, after all.

And how that egg then ends up as only one of the species with basically no attributes of the other.


They can probably best be considered a relatively recent (if you take the fan theory dittos are all failed clones of Mew) omni-symbiotic species that, once they find a mate, go completely native as whatever pokemon they've decided to live the rest of their life as, assuming they aren't captured.

Pokémon aren't real creatures, so there's literally zero point in trying to rationalize their genetics and how they reproduce
It's fun, tho.

You can be a gamer while being calm and collected and without fulfilling the dorito mountain dew meme
It's both a meme and a fact of life.
N ~ O ~ N ~ S ~ E ~ N ~ S ~ E ~ !


Ditto is kind of a heaux


TLDR
Gorl Beejayen stating only the facts.

Freaking video drivers and probably Windows 10 updates. Broke my laptop's brightness settings; maxed brightness. Wasn't AMD's video drivers, but Intel's. Don't even know what the hell... Whatever, generic Intel video drivers fixed it and now brightness control is possible.

Old news, but Steam supporting PS4 controllers is cool. Now PS4 arcade sticks should work for SFV, Capcom... >_>

I don't remember playing a lot of stuff on arcades. Part of me would love to have an arcade stick just to play games like Castle Crashers and Rogue Legacy alongside fighting games with them.

Oh you think I can play Ana, thats so nice. :)

Also @ the Dorito and Mountain Dew meme thing, I don't think I've ever tried either of them tbh.

When a mommy pokemon and a daddy pokemon get along really well...Arceus and the Unown poof an egg into existence. That's it. Though it technically isn't even an egg, according to an X/Y NPC.

..I suppose there must be some form of pokemon genetics though, aside from just IVs and egg moves. I mean, you see Darwin's evolution referenced in a number of species, such as with Shellos and Alola forms.

It is said that the very first Pokémon in existence was Mew. Any other species is a derivative of Mew, any new breed is its descendant and alas, partly shares its genetics.
Then we have the Ditto theory: Ditto is an artificial life form created in Cinnabar Island in an attempt to clone Mew with the few DNA samples they found. All of them are failed experiments.
The theory is supported by the fact Mew can Transform too, and your first Ditto encounter is in the same lab you read notes about Mew and Mewtwo.

Afternoon girls. How's everyone doing? :4zelda:

Just proceeding on with some of my work that I've been provided to do for University.

And I see we're going on about Pokemon breeding and genetics.

Would you say Type: Null & Silvally are kind of successful clones of Arcues then?

I have no comment on Type: Null, the game isn't out yet so any hint at this point is just speculation.

Being a clone would mean they have the same DNA. They're more like attempts to simply mimic Arceus than actual attempts to clone it.

So I've decided to give the anime Punchline a shot.

It's pretty dumb so far, plus the whole premise of the world getting destroyed because of the protagonist seeing some fanservice is a really stupid premise. Which is why I'm keeping my expectations low.

Also gonna try out Toradora! dubbed.
