Are you on my friends list? You should be able to find it in the Friends arena section.

Bugger, almost forgot! Cheers! Room's open now.

A sensitive person would apologise to @RedShell for that cheeky Bob-omb on the bridge on Yoshi's Valley. Oh well!

BTW, I'm up for some post Mario Kart Smash at 9pm. I'm feeling in the mood for Stamina this week, anyone else game?

You can't stop me picking Random!

As far as the 3D games go? Yeah, pretty much. The Pokémon models are the same as the ones on the 3DS.

Seems close to the anime really? It's fine if you like that sort of style. (I don't, but I can overlook it really)

Oh right! @Gourmetsalt! He's kinda vanished, so I'm not too sure.

Eh? No-one else has declared themselves in...

@Ugh first aid has notified me that most of the fanbase has designated the female trainer as Scottish. Which is funny in and of itself, but it led to this. Yeah, now it's my headcanon too.

Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @viceview51 @martinist @RedShell @S.C.G

That's gonna be fun! In a sorta depressing way. "Depressing fun!" should be the blurb for his videos.

Gif is strangely appropriate after last week's Double Lightning shenanigans I received.

Honestly, I'd be amazed if we saw Diamond/Pearl remakes in the more traditional style in the near future. Gen 4 fans got shafted so hard by Let's Go. They were this close. EDIT: So I was looking at the official website for S/S and it only just dawned on me that Sobble is a chameleon. A Chameleon that is blue. This means three things. 1. Sobble is well on track to being best starter ever. 2. We might actually get a chameleon Pokémon that isn't rubbish in a fight. 3. Game Freak are defo spying on me.

Not the first time that's happened... That's one of the games in the Pokeathelon. A feature from HeartGold/SoulSilver. It even changed the trainer's outfit when you took part. Perhaps what we see in Sword/Shield is an evolution of this?

Off the top of my head, we've got stuff like Critical Captures, Chaining Pokémon, as well as numerous improvements to the breeding mechanics. The Gen 3 remakes had a device that let you choose what Pokémon in an area you encounter next (Provided you'd seen it once). There's also online trading and of course, being able to transfer your Pokémon between the games through cloud storage. Here's the thread, it's very cool and not even remotely nerdy. Ice beats Flying beats Fighting beats Ice. It's not quite as easy to grasp as Fire - Grass - Water. But it does work with no immunities in there. You could also substitute Ice for Rock and it'd still work. Shut up! I'm not a nerd! EDIT: Oh, and Gen 6 kinda already did Psychic - Fighting - Dark. The starters final evolutions got those three types added to them. Chesnaught was Grass/Fighting, Delphox was Fire/Psychic and Greninja was Water/Dark. DOUBLE EDIT: Oh yeah! Fairy beats Fighting beats Steel beats Fairy. OK, I'm gonna stop now...

Reptile supercedes everything in my book. And I'd prefer to keep some Pokémon a surprise if possible. Also I'm getting all three anyway.

Most of that is just superfluous. Visual spectacle that doesn't actually amount to anything meaningful. That's not what I look for in a Pokémon game. The battling and the collecting is what changes over time and that's the most important aspect to me. I'm sorry you didn't get your BOTW moment with Pokèmon, but Game Freak is still a small company. It's just unrealistic to expect that kind of scale for a game as ridiculously complex as this. Also, X/Y is definitely the worst mainline core series. Like, you couldn't have started any worse.

Ahhh... Spoken like someone who doesn't know jack about how Pokémon games have changed over. I mean, I made a whole massive thread dedicated to showing why this view isn't accurate. At this point, I think anything short of making it not a Turn-Based RPG won't satisfy some people. Anyway, I've watched the footage now, looks solid so far. Just the stuff I like to see. Plus, only having Pikachu show up as far as Gen 1 Pokémon go is a good sign. Cautiously optimistic so far.

@Dcubed tasked me with making this thread. Metroid Prime is a first-person action adventure game that first released on the Gamecube in 2003. A somewhat controversial (at the time) game in that it plays almost nothing like the 4 2D side-scrolling Metroid games that came before it. Instead, we have a slower paced game from the viewpoint of Samus Aran herself. Speaking of Samus, this game takes place after the first Metroid game. Samus has beaten the Space Pirates and destroyed Mother Brain. But most importantly, she blew up Planet Zebes! Which is all that matters. Samus has received a distress signal from a Space Pirate Frigate called Orpheon. Seeing an opportunity to blow up more essential Space Pirate stuff with no consequence, she immediately goes in, only to find that something has already done all that. Naturally, that's no fun, but Samus decides to mop up anyway. Good thing too, because she stumbles upon Ridley, except he's all cybernetic and stuff. Not one to leave things half dead, Samus chases Ridley to nearby planet Tallon IV, but loses him when she reaches the surface. So Samus has to find Ridley, blow him up and maybe just blow up Tallon IV to make sure he's really not there. That will teach that planet for existing! Metroid Prime retains the traditional exploration tropes that the Metroid series is known for. There's all sorts of items to find on Tallon IV which will help you on your quest to blow Tallon IV up. As well as stuff to nick, the world is littered with lots of information to scan, such as enemy weaknesses and background on what happened on Tallon IV before Samus started stamping around. Feburary's Game Club game of choice is a game that took a massive chance with one of Nintendo's long running franchises and nailed it. Metroid Prime is a game that was unlike anything we had seen from Nintendo and cemented Retro Studios as a quality asset to Ninty. You are free to play either the original Gamecube version or the motion-enhanced version you can find in the Metroid Prime Trilogy collection. The Metroid Prime Trilogy version contains motion controls, the Spring Ball ability from Metroid Prime 3, an extra difficulty mode, faster loading times and widescreen support. So get to it, guys. Show that planet who's boss! And don't forget to take a picture of the end results screen! Metroid Prime is available on: Gamecube Metroid Prime Trilogy is available on: Wii, WiiU

I've always maintained that any massive changes will emerge in Generation 9. Haven't seen any footage yet, but most people here are disappointed, so that's a good sign! Looks nice so far. Like the blatantly British region. And the water type being a reptile of sorts means I'll probably choose that one, and then use @Ugh first aid to get all three anyway. Don't you do this to me, man! OR/AS's blatant middle finger was too heartbreaking! Can't go through that again!

Man, that was a... Well, it was a something, that's for sure. I'm trying to get my head around how there wasn't anyone who spoke out and said, "Wait hang on, is this really a good idea?" They're either dangerously ignorant or dangerously right wing.

Is that sillier than a preload for a free demo? Because that happened recently. (Deltarune Chapter 1)

You're way too lenient. Because all I want is portable RE4... With gyro controls.

You're thinking of Manbo's Mambo. The song you learn from the giant fish who shouts "OH!" Mamu's song is called the "Frog's Song of Soul"
