Anyone? No? Smash? 9pm? Stock? Yes?

Well, I got bullied on Dragon Palace!

@BowserBasher I had to try for those 5 points!

Heads up to all the spirit collectors. There's a special spirit you can get if you have save data of the demo version of Dragon Quest XI S on your Switch. Nintendo are really going all in for the advertising of that game!

Yes, you ever played Renegade Roundup with only 5 players? It ends very suddenly.

Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @martinist @S.C.G @Dcubed A reminder that you must use Dark Blue Shy Guy. And another reminder that there's no Team Bonus tonight, the only thing that matters are the points you get, so sabotaging your own team to get an extra point is highly encouraged.

That demo kind of soured me on the game and now I have no interest in it.

Sure, but it would still be more consistent.

Thanks, that's very hurtful.

I cannot be the only one who's getting constantly annoyed by Mario characters being 8-bit while the Sonic ones are 16-bit? I mean, yeah, 8-bit Peach is constantly hilarious in how dodgy she looks, but it's jarring when she's with a Sonic character. Sega showing their bias there. Watch Yoshi be the Mario World version and make the whole thing even less consistent!

Well, Unova already had a Battle Subway, so naturally, Galar has to get the Battle Bus Replacement Service.

Definitely a nostalgia factor there. Makes a difference from Pokémon being judged by nostalgia, I guess. I'm sure Link's Awakening will be great, but unless it's radically different in a way Nintendo are keeping secret, I doubt it'll be my Game of the Year purely because it's a remake.

Ah yes, I call that the "Diddy Run", when you think you're gonna have serious trouble, only to nail it with little difficulty. Named after my first 9.9 attempt with Diddy, a character I struggle to play well with, only to finish each round in less than 30 seconds. Except for the boss, where I only got hit once. Still don't know how I did it.

Along with Ike, Roy, Chrom, Charizard and especially Hero. At least Pichu has the baby excuse, what's their problems?

Or people could just stop living in the past. Pichu's way cuter than Pikachu anyway, less annoying voice too. (Although that may just be N-E having the habit of uncontrollably taunting whenever they play as Pikachu in Smash.)

RedShell hates Bellossom and Pikachu confirmed!

All you need to know is "Cute Pokémon no-one uses wins Tournament, trainer says he's super happy but no-one seems to have told his face"

Well, I won't be able to watch the Masters final, but I doubt it can top that match.

Impossible to get by yourself now. It was a Poké Bank event Pokemon. If you know someone with one, you can get them to breed one for you. And before you ask, I don't have one. Didn't have a subscription at the time. If anyone has one and can hit me up, I'd appreciate it. Noooooooo! Don't need more double stat drops on switch in. ENCORE!? Holy crap! Togedemaru might have swung the tide in Ko's favour! EDIT: IT HAS STURDY!? WOW! DOUBLE EDIT: Amazing play by Ko there! He pulled off the fabled "Pikachu knock-off championship win" Togedemaru better be in Sword/Shield, otherwise people are gonna be disappointed.

Purely because it's quite bulky and has Intimidate. So sick of intimidate...

Perish Song is an interesting choice. EDIT: Hey, he pulled it off!

The opening few years of a Pokémon generation are my favourite for competitive battles precisely because legendaries are banned. A lot more Pokémon are viable when legendaries aren't everywhere. Sun and Moons low base speed meant Pokémon like Pheromosa dominated because of its high speed. Ironically, that was the main reason Alolan Marowak rose through the ranks because it was a hard counter for it. I really like Marowak, so it felt great to finally use it in serious matches and not be laughed out of the room.. The seniors both share two Pokémon (Incineroar and Tapu Fini), but it should still be a good match.

That was a good final in the Junior division. Constant switch ups in strategies for each match was exciting to watch.

Beautiful Substitute from Teddy! Like, holy crap! Read him like a book!

Tuned back in to the Junior Finals. These two kids are way better than I'll ever be and that's awesome. Digging Pi Wu's impromptu Rayquaza scarf. The two teams are completely different too, so that's gonna be interesting. Something that I always respect with Pokémon World is that competitors are referred to by their actual name. I can't take a lot of competitive players seriously because they use their dumb online username. Also, damn, that special Champion Blue remix specially used in these finals is totally banging every year!
