Glen-i

Hey! That's when I joined! Silver linings, am I right? ...Anyone? Has @Rummy really been absent for months though? I swear I see him pop up every now and then... EDIT: Oh woops. Sorry, you posted that last post telling us to stop this conversation before I finished this post.

Burn Backfire! Better luck next time!

No, you're not. Fire Emblem Warriors, 225 hours. Have you never looked at the Gaming Log threads? I'm the king of saddos! For what it's worth, I think @Rummy does a fine job. Some of you guys get a bit carried away at times and I just end up quickly backing out of a thread when I see an argument still going on. I think @dazzybee is being way harsh. It can't be easy being a moderator. I don't think I can do it.

Japan are absolutely crazy for the Gacha system. They love it.

I love the response to that 0.7%? Pffft! Buncha Scrubs. Try recruiting a Kecleon in the first Mystery Dungeon. I did it... Twice... Oh, and here's the sequel's rate of Kecleon recruitment. Only 71 Pokémon can get "Fast Friend" And they all range from sucky to OK. Good luck!

GP1 GP2 GP3 @DazzeL's score was discounted from the 3rd GP, due to disconnection, the scores were recalculated to reflect this. And here's the table. A League welcome to @david.dakota, who manages to pull off a tie with @EEVILMURRAY. @DazzeL and @S.C.G add to the creepy factor by drawing themselves. You like making things awkward, huh? Anyway, next week's theme is provided directly by Nintendo, I love it when they provide a ready made theme for me. Next League Night: 1st March 8pm Room 1: BowserBasher is host Glen-i BowserBasher viceview51 Inspired by the latest update to Mario Odyssey, obviously. So get out there and pop some balloons and other encouraging words of encouragement. Sign Up Now!

So, before I get started on the results, here's some highlights. The first one focuses on @Dcubed (Left Screen), the second one focuses on me (Other Screen) and the last two is kinda a double whammy that encompasses both screens (Two cousins being jerks to each other).

I've hidden my balloons now. With a healthy dose of screw you, good luck finding those. BTW, some of @RedShell's balloons seem to have been deleted from the server. Couldn't do his Cascade Kingdom one, despite entering the code. Might have been connection issues on my end though...

Anyway, with @Dcubed IN! as well, that makes 9 people and 1 Jammy Dodger who will surely get his comeuppance tonight. Neato! Because we're on a new page, I'll remind you all to not forget to turn off Smart Steering.

Yeah, yeah. We get ya, you're a jammy git. Well done!

What the hell happened at the end of that video? Like, seriously, how is that even possible? Proper creeped out by that.

Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1: BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @viceview51 @Vileplume2000 @S.C.G @Nicktendo @martinist Public Safety Announcement If you took part in last week's league night, don't forget to turn off Smart Steering. Although, you don't have to. You're free to keep it on if you like, your funeral. Still time to Sign Up!

Turok 2 has PLAYABLE DINOSAURS!!!!!

I dunno, @markderoos. I'm gonna have to question Turok. That game's totally overshadowed by better FPS games on the console. In fact, it's even overshadowed by it's sequel. I'm gonna throw in the original Golden Sun for the GBA. I know this is kinda anecdotal, but for some reason, everyone who had a GBA had this game. Probably because "Dem Graphix!!!" I remember some jerk in secondary school, telling me to stop playing Pokemon Ruby and play a proper RPG like Golden Sun. Naturally, the next day, I bought in my long completed copy and totally schooled him in multiplayer. If that was a movie, that would have made me cool. But it didn't. I was the best at the current trendy game to play and yet, that made me less cool. Which only proves that school kids are the worst.

Funny, if anything, I didn't want Chapter 7 to end.

They've been confirmed fake. Done by an Italian YouTuber called Cydonia. And so the Pokémon cycle continues. EDIT: No wait, they work with that YouTuber. The artist is someone along the lines of "50 shades of Heliolisk" which is a fantastic name. Still fake.

Why didn't you buy both!? You're the worst! You're the reason we can't have nice things!

Yeah, if those are fake, that Platypus Pokémon is gonna be a real casualty, because than Game Freak can't nick it. Call me boring and patriotic, but I'd like a region based on the UK. It'll make a nice contrast to Alola, because there's be a 50% chance it would rain no matter where you are. Unless you're in the northern part of the region, then it always rains. Also, that regions Dragon Pokémon could be based off of the Welsh Flag Dragon, which would be pretty awesome.

Now I'm tempted. Might have to give this a go now that I'll be able to actually aim.

Man, that leaves a bad taste in your mouth... Oh wait, only the first collection does, that's the physical one.

It's exclusive to Ultra Sun and Moon, and it can actually evolve. Which is weird for a legendary Pokémon. Yep, if I remember right, downloading Transporter is done from inside Bank. Hoo boy! That's a toughie. Well, except for my absolute favourite. That hasn't changed for 15 years. I suppose right now, it'd be... 3. Kecleon Chameleons are the best animal, so the Chameleon Pokémon is just a no-brainer to me. Known for being absolutely hopeless in battle, unless the game has the word "dungeon" in the title. Then it's stronger than Arceus, Mewtwo and Rayquaza put together for some reason. It's also the Pokémon that the Link's Awakening Shopkeeper would most likely train. True fact. They both become utterly murderous when they're jacked from. 2. Totodile You'd have to have a heart of stone to not choose this hyperactive Crocodile as your Johto Starter. What's That? You prefer Cyndaquil. Well then, you're nothing short of pure evil incarnate and I'll be coming to you next time someone gets killed. 1. Groudon Is it a lobster? Is it a Dinosaur? No! It's some weird mash up of the two! A Lobsaur, if you would. Thankfully, they called it Groudon, which is a better name. To me, this Pokémon is both super cool and utterly adorable. I'd have one as a pet, I don't care if it would utterly ruin my life. Which it most definitely would. Also, ever since Soul Silver, I've managed to bait every single person who used Kyogre to send it out only to get Thunder Punched in the face. Works every time. And it never stops being funny. Honourable mentions would be Krookodile, Hydreigon, Greninja, Alola Marowak and Grumpig.

You'd be incredibly surprised at how many people think that paying to play online games is good for everyone. It's why it's now standard fare, because XBox owners were cool with it. Which prompted Sony and Nintendo to follow suit.

The whole idea is ridiculous really. Have you ever heard of a company taking away free online from games that have had free online already for a year and a half? ...Minecraft? Would that count? I'm probably wrong though...

I kinda have mixed feelings on them. On one hand, I think it was yet another missed opportunity on Sun and Moon's part. Making them catchable takes away anything special about them. If I had my way, I would have had the Ultra Beasts serve as traditional RPG Boss Fights that you'd have to do throughout the game. Kinda like they did with Nihilego. And because they would purely be used for boss fights, it'd be fine to triple their HP stat so that the fight wouldn't be over in a few turns. On the other hand, the fact that they look weird and unappealing (Buzzwole excluded, that thing just looks hilarious) means that the designs do what they were intended to. They are basically aliens, after all. I do hope they're done with Ultra Beasts in Gen 8. It was a neat concept, but there's no need to add more. It'll just make them even less unique. My bet would be that the remake of Gen 4 will be on Switch. Considering that the next mainline game will be on Switch, why go back? EDIT: BTW, while we're talking about Ultra Beast designs. What about Poipole? That's an Ultra Beast. Is that ugly? Personally, I don't think it's ugly enough. Just looks like a normal Pokemon, which misses the point in my opinion.

Man, @Julius Caesar you are making me really want to play through White again. Great post about the structure of Black and White's plot there. It really exentuates why I enjoy the plot so much. There's a lot of little details in the characters that the game doesn't state through dialogue. The one that comes to mind is that N never uses the same Pokémon twice. Not wanting to imprison for Pokémon for too long, I can picture him convincing the local wild Pokémon to accompany him in order to liberate their kind. I also remember how the game slaps some backstory straight away with that awesome opening cutscene of N's coronation as King of Team Plasma. No dialogue, so it's not entirely clear what's going there. But damn, did it make me want to find out. I miss that kind of stuff. I can only guess at this, but I imagine Gen 6 and, to a lesser extent, 7 went back on itself because Black and White didn't sell as much as other games. I can imagine that frightening Game Freak into taking less risks. Screw it, I just finished Crystal and Xenoblade 2, I'm gonna grab a Tepig and play White again.
