TRUE

IT LOOKS LIKE A ****ING MAGNAVOX ODYSSEY GAME

Typlosion: I like his design, but it’s not as good why he’s bipedal.

Typhlosion isn't fully bipedal. When it needs to run it gets down on all fours.

Standing on its hind legs is a reference to how honey badgers are actually known to rear up on their hind legs in real life.

 

[PeridotGX]

In order:
Decidueye, one of my favorite Pokémon and top 3 starter.

Typlosion: I like his design, but it’s not as good why he’s bipedal. The johto starters are also very basically designed.

Samurott: love the first two stages, but not being water fighting or bipedal disappointed me a lot. Typing doesn’t matter, but I wanted more of a samurai vibe with its design.

Give it 5 minutes they’ll find something I’m sure.

Decidueye is the really different one, so that makes things tricky.

Tbh, not discrediting you but that run animation is super funny since the gif is missing frames.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I mean it's been leaked for like 2 days now, at this point we would find a catch but um...

nothing.

Gamefreak make good game?

Well they apparently had help from a different developer, so the good stuff was probably them.

 

[TheMightyP]

They had help from Monolift, but they also worked on SwSh.

That said, they did expand a bit it appears, or at least got more people to help

Looks like Game Freak really listened to your complaints about the 3D models and increased their workforce considerably; 73 people are credited with working on the Pokémon 3D models (vs 42 in SWSH) and 53 people worked on model animations (vs 38 in SWSH).

Apparently there's another time traveler in this game, and of all characters it's one of the train guys from Gen 5. I can respect that.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Yeah it definitely feels like a Monolith soft game. You know judging by the gameplay streams that are up on the internet.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

On one hand, a new PS5/Series X Dissidia that returns to the battle system from the PSP games would be amazing. On the other hand, I really want a 2D Final Fantasy fighting game made by Arc System Works. Both have the potential to be such cool games.

I know, but I always wished they did more with it on all fours. Most of its animations, it’s standing and doesn’t look as nice imo.

 

[ZephyrZ]

That's fair.

I do kind of like Typhlosion's bipedal stance but that's 100% opinion.

I was actually making my own Dissidia roster with a 2D Fighter in mind. This would be a dream game for me and it'd be awesome to see.

So after mindlessly playing Master Duel for six hours, what do I think?

It's fun and the best YGO sim we've had in a very long time. I'm talking about better than the WCS/YCS engines. And it's free. Literally free. Pick it up on the E-Shop right now. You have no excuse not to, you know damn well you ain't playing anything new.

 

[Ivander]

watching Maximillian’s video about the affects of the Microsoft buying Activision after getting Bethesda…and decided to give the freaky idea of Sony buying Square and Capcom if they were to ever buy out a big company (apparently they’re both worth more than Sega…and let’s not let any of those 3 game companies be bought out)

I certainly don't see that happening, since both Square and Capcom have been doing quite well, especially with their successes of Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter Rise. Not to mention Square and Capcom or their shareholders have to consent to the buying. Which is very unlikely as both Square and Capcom have a good relationship with Nintendo and have had big successes with the Switch. And if the next Nintendo console does just as well, Square and Capcom certainly wouldn't want to miss that opportunity.

Activision's scenario came from a combination of great negativity, with other companies and sponsors quite willing to refuse acquaintance with them, and a CEO more than willing to let the company crash and burn from the negativity. Both Square and Capcom are very far from this scenario.

I feel like i'm seeing a raid Shadow Legends ad.

Don't be disrespectful to YGO like that.

yeah at this point everybody is overly freaking out over what Sony is gonna respond with now. Like, Xbox having all of these properties all of a sudden truly is a massive move (ignoring the equally massive problems that Activision will have until the guy running it ****s off)…which only makes people more hungry for big money deals to go down.

probably doesn’t help that everyone thought Sega would get bought out…but who with a brain and sanity truly wants to see Sonic exclusive to Xbox?

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I could see Sony buying Sega, looking at my PS4 shelf Sega released a ton of stuff on it, Yakuza basically carried the PS4 on it's back.

Not saying i would like it or that it would happen but i can see it happening.

 

[Mamboo07]

I found this cool fighting game roster with Microsoft characters.
(My main would be the car)

 

[Aurane]

No, graphics bad.

Hush child.

Calm yourself.

Shut the **** up

[Cutie Gwen]

So yeah, Legends Arceus looks really good. Yeah.



What will we Pokemon fans do now? There's nothing to complain about.

It's ok P, we still have Sonic to complain about

I mean I kinda find a lot of the new mons really ugly, and I'm someone who'll defend Gen 5-7 mons from people thinking they're bad.


Like, and spoilers but

Spoiler

Dialga and Palkia's forms are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, especially Palkia's.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Lmao H Braviary's a special attacker now like predicted but it's still got Defiant when it should get Competitive

They should've cut all but a dozen Pokemon, that would make the game like BotW.

Can't believe Arlo's review got leaked this early smh.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Nono, the game has no abilities in gameplay as was revealed a while ago, but every mon in the game has abilities coded in, I'll link a post that has them all

Spoiler

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/comments/s89qxi Ursaluna being able to go for a 240 Attack stat with Guts and blocking off every other status depending on if they keep the new mechanic around it or not is already amazing but it can go for Bullet Proof which makes it immune to Aura Sphere, Focus Miss, Energy Bomb, Seed Bomb and Bullet Seed to compliment it's bulk is amazing, Sneasler getting Poison Touch means it's Poison Jab has a 51% chance to poison, assuming she has similar moves to the other genies, Enamourus having Contrary sounds terrifying as that means Superpower's on the menu, etc

I mean, this is neat


But, we'd need a game where these are actually useable in a competitive setting, right? Afaik, you can't transfer these guys to SwSd or BDSP, so they're stuck in Bank for the forseeable future.


.....can they even be banked?

 

[PeridotGX]

I've been cautiously pessimistic for the past year about Legends Arceus, but it actually looks kinda good... I'll probably get it.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I ****ing hate the NHS.

Tried phoning about 50 times this morning only to then have "telephones line closed". That sucks.

Your ma's not BOTW

Don't hit me Solar. I'm just a bit off today.

 

[dezeray112]

Let it be known that "We Don't Talk About Bruno" has now surpassed "Let it Go" to become the highest charting Disney song in the Billboard top 100 in the 21st century.

"Bruno" is currently charting at #4, which the last time a Disney song charted that high, was Pocahontas' "Colors of the Wind" back in 1995.

It's honestly insane how much Encanto and it's soundtrack has now blown up, and I'm glad it has. Haven't been this enthralled in a Disney Animation Studios film in a good 5+ years

I agree especially with the bolded. The soundtrack is probably for me going down as one of the most memorable.

I am not surprised about the popularity of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" considering that the song (not only surpassed 100 million views on Youtube) was very well crafted and credit goes to Lin Manuel Miranda.

You can't yet, but that being added post launch isn't anything new for the franchise, not to mention that as we have all the data, it'd get added on Showdown regardless . It's all a matter of time

SECRET SOCIETY BLANKET (and potential affiliates)! So Lamperouge Wademan94 Dyllybirdy MooMew64 plus Guh-Huzzah! osby and other weebs.

New visual for Laid Back Camp film got released and it features best character Rin:

She's grown up and ready to go to work (living in Kofu, Yamanashi or maybe even in Tokyo). I'm a bit teary eyed now. Making poster tomorrow then.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so excited! She's looks cool! Time to go out today.

is there a 10 episode arc about Ryo harassing people about sailors?

Your will granted:

It will be a spinoff featuring a one time cameo from Goro Maijma from Yakuza which will eventually lead to a Yakuza anime..................................................

............................and then through Segata Sanshiro's Greatest Warriors (featuring Sword Art Online) it will finally tie with live action Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Sonic Battle: Civil War plus Blaze to appease the fanboys) and then we finally have Sega Super-Allstars the film!

Eyyyy I really dig that art!

Oh also, speaking about anime, TheMightyP , I started watching Demon Slayer. It's actually really fun so far, I'm impressed.

Guh if I were you I would look into a sub-genre called Iyashikei or healing anime. Its the cosiest and most heartwarming you can find in anime. Animal Crossing and Ghibli fans would really fit right in to watch these. A few are very easy recommendations.

Iyashikei - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Aria

Girls Last Tour - The definition of an anime that has a theme of positivity in the darkest of times.

Helpful Fox Senko-san

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Laid Back Camp - I can write a hundred thousand words about this anime and how much I love it. Right up there with Kino's Journey, Re:Zero and Zombieland Saga as my favourite anime of all time.

Non Non Biyori - Easy recommend but there's a bit of issues with pacing and the way its structured but you get one of most adorable characters in anime.

Super Cub - Thank you MooMew64 for recommending me this. **** you local moped school for not telling me crap and being why I stopped watching the show.

A few from KyoAni like K-On and Tamako Market I'd throw in here as well. You are younger as well so you can take the message better of all these.

 

[Xombie_Rhythm]

Hi my name is Xombie//RhythmBear I have a WiiU and would like to play 1v1 or 1v1v1v1. Add my Nintendo Network ID @ OmnistOmnivore or just go online WiiU For Glory 1v1

That said though, it is possible they change the abilities.

Like they did with many other Pokemon.

Like Gengar.
