Oh damnit! I was only making a snarky remark, but now I genuinely want that!

I for one am looking forward to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Switch.

Very well, I'll take over. Thursday Night Splatoon Battle 1. Glen-i 2. BowsrBasher 3. RedShell

Oh BTW, feel free to add me to Doom. Now that it has motion controls, I might be able to not completely fail.

Honestly, the new Pokémon. I can live with any Gen 1 Pandering or desperate attempts to get the mobile crowd on board. I'll grumble about it, but I'll soldier on. I moan about a lot of stuff with the 3DS games, sure. But when a new generation starts, I could always rely on a bunch of new Pokémon to discover. And then I could experiment with them online to see what new strategies I can come up with. The competitive scene changes quite a bit when you introduce new Pokémon with new moves and abilities. A new popular threat can suddenly make a previously underutilised Pokémon suddenly carve itself a niche. (Marowak, a Pokémon that hasn't been good since Gen 2, overnight became the best counter to Pheromosa. And quickly became the defensive core of my team throughout Gen 7) When I first played Pokemon, my sense of discovery was satiated simply by watching my team throughout the story. 9 year old me ran to my mum, getting over excited about how I finally got the cool dragon on the box. Nowadays, finishing the Pokédex marks the beginning of my experimenting. Finding out how to utilise the new Pokémon I really liked during my playthrough, what other people are copy pasting from Smogon and figuring out new and unexpected ways to punish them for having no imagination. (No Kyogre can stand against my Speedy Thunder Punching Groudon) Say these next games went the "Return to Kanto, only Gen 1 Pokémon" route. Going by the official rules of "Only Pokémon that can be caught in the latest games can be used in competitions" That's effectively reduced the team building options by more than half! And there isn't even new Pokémon to help mitigate that. And that's before we get to the issue of how most Gen 1 Pokémon aren't even viable... I don't believe Game Freak would go so far as to having only 151 Pokémon. At worst, they'll probably have some modern Pokémon available after you see the credits. But without 70-ish new Pokémon to play with, I might as well just carry on battling on Sun and Moon.

I just need confirmation of actual new Pokémon. CG or otherwise, I don't care. I shouldn't be worrying about whether this will actually happen, but I'm genuinely concerned.

21:15 works best for me, thanks. I'll be there.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone to vote for what the race schedule will be 2 weeks from now. Send your PM's to me before Thursday 9pm.

This is truth and fact. Put the right badges on him and he gets way too OP.

It's the most powerful, and the added Sword Beams are nice. But you can't put any extra skills on it. So you can't use the really awesome ones like Hasty Attacks and Heart Power. I pretty much never used it for that reason.

You sure did.

I wanna take this moment to let everyone in on the theme idea I'm planning the week after next. Even if you're not taking part in the league, I'd like you to read this. Right, it's time to get all democratic up in here. Every aspect of the 7th of June League Night is gonna be down to the popular vote. Courses, Character, Vehicle, everything. You will all choose it. All you have to do is fill out this crappy makeshift form and send me a Private Message. For each category, choose your top 3. Cup Selection 1. (Insert Cup Here) 2. (Insert Cup Here) 3. (Insert Cup Here) Character (Mii's are allowed, Gold Mario is not) 1. (Insert Character Here) 2. (Insert Character Here) 3. (Insert Character Here) Vehicle Base (Gold Kart is not allowed) 1. (Insert Vehicle Here) 2. (Insert Vehicle Here) 3. (Insert Vehicle Here) Wheels (Gold Wheels are not allowed) 1. (Insert Wheels Here) 2. (Insert Wheels Here) 3. (Insert Wheels Here) Glider (Gold Glider is not allowed) 1. (Insert Glider Here) 2. (Insert Glider Here) 3. (Insert Glider Here) The Character/Vehicle parts with the most votes will be what everyone will have to use, along with the three most popular cups. Click here for a list of the Vehicle Parts. "But what's the incentive!?" I hear you cry, well how about BONUS POINTS? Everyone who sends me a completed form and takes part in the 7th June League Night will automatically get 2 extra points added to their GP3 score. On top of that, for every one of your votes that successfully wins, you get another 2 points added to your GP3 score. That's a total of 16 points up for grabs, not bad! Careful though, if you post your votes on this thread, you WILL be disqualified from the bonus points and your vote will not count. Even if you've never been in the league, you can still vote. Go ahead, ruin everyone's day! Votes close on the 31st of May at 9pm (That's after next week's League Night) For the sake of fairness, I've already cast my votes. So don't worry about me claiming that I miraculously and conveniently voted for all of the winners.

NOTE: @S.C.G disconnected on the last race here. Given his track record, I'm gonna assume he wants to keep his average, despite him getting a lower score than average. NOTE: Boy, that was a mess. Wrong track choices, not to mention @Clownferret doing a vanishing act after the first race. Because of this, I had to recalculate the scores a tad. So while the points aren't completely accurate, the placings are. @viceview51 is this weeks "Player who made no bloody difference" Feel free to big it up, no-one will notice. This week, I broke the "20 GP wins" milestone, as well as the "10 2nd Places" one. Meanwhile, @RedShell got past the "10 3rd Places" checkpoint. That makes him the first to get all 3 of those milestones. Classy. I also want to tell @Vileplume2000 that we're coming to the end of the first half of the League. Seeing as his attendance is exactly 50%, he'll need to take part in 3 of the 5 upcoming nights for his score to officially count. Everyone else above 50% attendance should be fine for this half (Remember that there'll be a table that combines both halves, so it's still best to keep that attendance up) Anyway, it's the end of the month. You know what that means... Next League Night: 31st May 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @viceview51 Sign up Now!

It is a very strange move though and I still can't pinpoint why this would be the way to go. It's very confusing. I suppose it's a silver lining that I have no interest in playing Resi 7.

Hey, I was a guest. I had no say in the matter what-so-ever. He held me to ransom!

I will not have this blatant deodorant advertising here. Only Mercedes products, thank you very much. Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1 @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @viceview51 @RedShell @S.C.G @martinist @Dcubed

I vaguely remember having to unlock every weapon and character on the 3DS version. The second one is gotten by getting every Level 4 weapon.

Look on the Smash Bros. Thread Didn't realise he gave @Sméagol a job though.

You all going and bumping this thread got me so excited that some info surfaced. And then I have to see @Kaepora_Gaebora talking about sweaty arses and learn about @Hero-of-Time's secret job of advertising Nivea products. That's my day ruined.

That's bizarre, why jump straight to Gen 7 Pokémon? Oh wait, Alolan forms? Then we already know the blatant, shameless reason.

Congrats on the Shiny, @Hero-of-Time. Every good Pokémon fan remembers their first random one. Mine was a Numel on Pokémon Emerald. Probably worth noting that you're less likely to get into an encounter if you walk instead of run/cycle.

Yeah, I played through this again a month ago and it just hits so many right notes. Unova's main path looks linear at first glance, but the majority of routes tend to have a completely optional place to explore if you look around. I won't go into too much detail, just in case you don't know what happens later. But I will say that Krookodile is one of my favourite Pokémon. I love that thing. And Excadrill is pretty sweet too. And Chav-tastic Scrafty. I still use Hydreigon a lot too. Zoroark has a cool concept. Beartic, Heatmor, Simisage... OK, I'll stop now. ...Oh, and Zekrom.

The lighting is the biggest visual difference, but the game also runs at a higher frame rate. (When docked) But yeah, it's not that much of a difference. Switch isn't a huge jump in power from the WiiU, so it's to be expected. Frame rate is more important to me.
