  1. http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/08/15/pokemon-snap-coming-to-wii-u-virtual-console-in-europe Kinda curious why only Europe, and why we haven't gotten a sequel considering... the 3DS and U both have things that would make it feel more akin to taking snapshots, but aw well, hope you enjoy it over there in Europe!
  2. Since around the second half of Jedi's Challenge Cup Tournament(congrats to Horace btw), I'd been throwing around the idea of hosting a VGC tournament sometime, but I figure why not do an interest check right now? Pokemon Showdown will be used for this tourney. A Showdown account is the easiest account you'll ever make if you haven't already. So what's VGC? The Video Game Championship format is a fast-paced battle format used for the VGC World Championship Series. Some of you may remember or have heard about when this happened in the 2014 World Championship. The VGC 2016 rules are: If you're like me and are most used single battles and are a bit weary of trying doubles, I highly recommend giving this a shot, it doesn't take long to adjust and it's a blast. If this format is intimidating at all, I recommend reading this: http://nuggetbridge.com/blogs/entry/1005-kasomans-vgc-16-teambuilding-guide-ver-10/ and/or practicing with one of these for starters, experimenting with your team as you get the hang of things. This would be a double elimination tourney, best of 3 and best of 5 for finals. I'm looking for a minimum of 16 participants, more can be added before the tournament starts if more people want to join. I don't have any deadline for this, so it would start shortly after getting enough participants. 1. DavidSW 2. Riptor 3. Honey Bunny 4. TrueEm 5. Emeraldfox 6. commie scum 7. DodgeDusk 8. blah the Prussian 9. Lord Gaius 10. Lord Graham 11. Jedi 12. Quintessence 13. 14. 15. 16.
  3. Link to the Bracket: http://sforestsmash.challonge.com/PKMNChallenge Hey there, you may know me as, That guy who talks about smash way too much, or that prick who has some obnoxious opinions, or just generally, that cool dude.™, regardless of how you may know me or not, I have a tourney for you Pokemon folks. Link to Pokemon Showdown You will likely need this if you don't have it, ANYWAYS. Name of the game Challenge Cup! In the Challenge Cup, which you may know of if you're ancient like I am and have played Pokemon Stadium 2, is basically when you get assigned a completely random team, and in Smogons rulings, anything goes, the only clauses in effect are the "no doubles" and with SO SO many pokemon the chances of getting doubles are like insanely low. Smogon has some small things to add here which I will quote. Smogon Challenge Cup Format I however am not familiar with if Showdown does the 60-90 lvl thing, I'll have to check. I'm looking to make this double elimination, best of 3, except for finals which will be best of 5. However I forget if Showdown randomizes your team for every match, because that would be so amusing to have to play that many rounds with entirely different teams, this is up for discussion. I am looking for 16 victims for this insanity, if you feel like "Yeah Jedi I want to lose to the luck of the draw" or "Yeah Jedi I will totally invoke Joey's luck from Yugioh and win everything" then this is the right tourney for you. If I get more than 16 I will be extending the amount of people, and well this is an interest check so I'm not sure when it'll start for sure. If you people who compeitive Pokemon often would love to give me good rule ideas, instead of what I am thinking of doing PLEASE speak up. 1. Jedi 2. Riptor 3. CrystalPoke 4. Shin 5. DarkDestr0yer 6. Lord Gaius 7. Tsunami 8. General Horace 9. DavidSW 10. Anacybele 11. JSND 12. Quintessence 13. DodgeDusk 14. Nym 15. Dandragon 16 blah
  4. I don't think we've seen discussions of headcanons, so I shall initiate this thread here. As Ron Burgandy of San Diego said, before we start, let's go over the ground-rules.... Anything Pokémon related is fair-game. Toys, anime, manga, and of course the games. However, I would like to ask everyone to not write headcanons that refers to Smash Brothers alone, because I am pretty sure that we have the Smash Brothers subforum for that. Headcanons that straddles Smash Brothers and, say, the Special Manga would be preferable. But of course, this is just my personal request. And of course, let's be good ladies, gentlemen, and proper sentinel Pokémon, and follow all the standard rules as set by the forum. And finally, no touching of the hair or face... And THAT'S IT!!!! Okay here goes mine: General stuff: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and other places form the country of Shoyo, the Pokeverse version of Japan. Her capital is Yamabuki (Saffron) City. The Japanese original names are canon for people and cities, with some exceptions. Shoyo means "Rising Sun" and is written as "昇陽". Team Rocket is an ultranationalist terrorist organization, that hates the cosmopolitanism and de facto democracy of present-day Shoyo. They long to revive the Empire of Shoyo (大昇陽帝国). Unova and Orre are two of the states forming the United States of Columbia, the Pokeverse version of USA. Opelucid City is the state capital of Unova (just like how Albany is for NY), and the national capital is Washington DA, or District of America. The English dub names are canon. Lieutenant Matthias "Machisu" Surge hails from Virbank City, and initially worked in that Navy Base before being transferred to Kuchiba [Vermillion]. Kalos is a country, equivalent of France, and generally, the French names are canon. Fantina Melissa Morton (the Ghost-type Gym leader) is a coordinator from Los Arceus [Los Angeles], and she has a Kalosian mother who is a movie star. Team Flare is a Kalosian Fascist and chauvinist organization, who longs to resurrect the pre-WWII Kalosian Empire. And Lysandre's genocide policies makes Jean-Marie Le Pen look like a socialist progressive. Anime: Most of the movie locations in the Anime are actually the Pokémon equivalent of their inspired real-life places. Yes, Alto Mare is in Etruria [italy], Crown City or Kronenbrucht is in Flandaria [Netherlands] and so on. Why does Satoshi (Ash) travel to these places? Well after Wataru (Lance), head of the Shoyoese National Police (昇陽警察庁) heard about Satoshi's achievements in the first three movies, the former appointed the latter as a part-time assistant. Usually, Wataru would respond to distress calls from the ICPO, but when he is unavailable, Satoshi is sent in on Wataru's behalf. So why has Satoshi (Ash) fared better in Kalos? Well, he knows some Kalosian [French] to get around, due to his old friendship with Serena St-Yves, and also he has travelled to Europe a couple of times, and there's always someone who can speak Kalosian (which is an international language) or in rarer cases, Shoyoese [Japanese]. (Alamos Town from the Rise of Darkrai is based on Barcelona. Endioak Town from the Victini & Zekrom/Reshiram movie is based on one of the towns in France. Crown City and Alto Mare, see above.) And why did he screw up so badly in Unova? Partially because of his loss to that rigged Tobias that damaged Satoshi's self-esteem for a while, and he was a bit of a stepford smiler. Also his English isn't his forte. Speaking of Serena St-Yves, her father was sent to Shoyo as the High Ambassador of Kalos in Yamabuki City, and the family followed along. However, Grace didn't want to live the typical expatriate's life and insisted in living near Masara (Pallet) Town, living with the locals, and training her Rhyhorn. Bianca's father (being first-generation Etrurian-Columbian [italian-American]; see more in the Games section below) was initially overprotective of Bianca due to some close calls with Communist/Neo-Fascist terrorism that occurred when he was a kid. (There is a real-life counterpart to this.) Games: Why is Bianca's father even stricter in the games. His family was less fortunate during the game versions of the 1970s Etrurian years; he lost a brother and a grandfather in a terrorist attack back home in Etruria. And old nightmares...just don't die off that easily. Touko Hilda Shirase, and Touya Hilbert Kuroda (BW1 protagonists) are Niseis. Touko/Hilda even have Kotone (Lyra) as a cousin. There are a lot more that I've written about, but I'll just leave it here for the moment.
  5. I felt the need to join in on the screenshot LP craze, so here I am. This won't have too many rules, and I'll try to get as much coverage of everything as I possibly can. I'll obviously get a lot of dialogue and important battles, and I can actually be at least a little informative if I need to considering how well I know Emerald. Anyway, I'm going to let you decide which Pokemon I use. Hoenn Dex only of course. I'm going to try to use GameShark to get a Murkrow as my one locked team member because Murkrow is bae. This won't be a randomized or anything though. This will start about 30 hours from now, but I just wanted to see what some people had in mind for team members before I actually started. and yes if you vote in Wurmple, I'll even use Wurmple
  6. I just finished this game... and i'm laughing so hard right now! I wish I was kidding! besides the similar name the game also has wayyy too many similarities to fire emblem. you play as a "warlord" who controls a pokemon thingy in fields resembling fire emblem, along with your allies, who you happen to control. As the story goes on, you recruit unique characters with different pokemon and skills. You can change peoples default pokemon to ones they happen to have an affinity to (somewhat like emblem). The gameplay on the battlefield is fairly similar, only with one attack and no changeable weapons. there are some walkthroughs of it on youtube.
  7. Wondering if anyone here plays VGC or participates in the tournament circuit. If you do play, what are your thoughts on the current format and metagame? Which tournaments are you planning on going to?
  8. In Birthright there are two characters, Kaden and Selkie, who are Kitsune and can be promoted to a Nine-Tails. Am I the only one who noticed that the transformed state looks an awful lot like a certain Pokemon who goes by the same name? I looked it up as well as looked around here to try and figure out why Nintendo would go and do that. For some reason no one else has pointed it out. Have any of you guys noticed that Intelligent Systems included Were-Pokemon?
  9. New Pokemon games. Pokemon Moon and Pokemon Sun. Honestly, I didn't think they could milk from Digimon this much but this could be Pokemon's 7th Gen installment and maybe for NX. The information and exciting news was leaked during some files transferring of some sort.
  10. Europe: 4PM UK: 3PM North America (ET): 10AM North America (PT): 7AM Japan: 12AM (February 27th) European Twitch link North American Twitch link A Nintendo Direct that lasts 5 minutes. I wonder if short, franchise-based Nintendo Directs are the new format Directs are going to take. Kimishima has mentioned Directs are going to be different starting this year
  11. Pokemon Volt White Nuzlocke Last year, I survived having my bollocks ripped off by Sacred Gold. Now I'm back, and one generation better. This time, I'm taking on Volt White, Drayano's hack of Pokemon White. Just like Sacred Gold, this hack allows you to catch every Pokemon that existed up to the generation, and boosts the challenge across the board. Will (Zekroms') lightning strike twice? Will I go down on fire? Tune in for what I hope will be another successful nuzlocke, with far less grinding than the last. [spoiler=Rule] - Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released. - The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. - Must nickname every Pokémon. - A black out/white out is considered to be "game over", even if there are Pokémon left in the PC. - Species/Dupes Clause: Adjusting the first encounter rule to prevent the player from having to catch multiple of the same Pokémon, for the sake of variety. Generally this means that the trainer can keep fighting Pokémon in the area until one is encountered that has not been caught yet, which then immediately counts as the first encounter. - If the player runs into a Shiny Pokémon, the player may still catch it, regardless of whether or not itis the first encounter in the area. - No legendary captures. In this hack, it's possible to encounter them in the grass. If that happens, I'll run and re-encounter. - Due to the supposed difficulty of the hack. All gift Pokemon will be accepted. This rule may change if people disagree with it - Outside and Inside areas will be consider separate from each other in regards to encounters (So I can get encounters inside and outside of Pinwheel Forest). - If I get an encounter in dark grass (wild doubles), I get to choose which I catch. Prologue [spoiler=Prologue] Half black, half white. The ultimate MJ fan! I know this is Pokemon White, but I wasn't expecting to heil Hitler so soon. Oh, Drayano's a woman now. I've seen this before, all Pokemon... new challenges, Have fun. Can I have a Skill Link Minccino please? You know, Black and White have one of the best female trainers, but I'll not undergo the change just yet. No originality. Here's a squad of adorable ragamuffins, except Cheren. You know, I don't think I've ever played in any season other than Autumn or Winter. Yes! And then, we'll be free of this go nowhere hamlet. I hope I get a Garchomp. Well, I'll take yours if you don't want it. I need all the fodder I can get my hands on. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! I know the drill. I'll be needing them though. Well, I asked you lot which starter I should take. The winner was... fucking memes. Aren't memes just so funny!? Haha! Memes! Okay. Snivy it is. Seriously? Someone likes Tepig? Fortunately, the Nuzlocke doesn't start until I get my balls. So I don't need to worry about using... except my pride. First battle! I think Snivy must have missed, and hit her instead. Fine work. On the contrary. An easy victory. Yeah, I'm not going be using this room anymore. Cheren awakens his psychic powers! Cheren won't fall for Snivys trickery. Dang! His actually pretty good. Time to cool off, Cheren. Now we're talking. And those are the first battles. We almost got thrash there. And yet the Wii survived. You know, getting the bike like this makes more sense than in the actual game. Ah! The sun! It's blinding me! Thanks. Where at NASA do you work? And now I've stepped into a soap opera. Those aren't her real parents, and it's the mum who dun it. Why. We've already got our Pokemon. I don't need anything else. Well, Lady Dray, it's in the rules. You're best off leaving that to Bianca. Now, let's see our first companion, who I suspect won't last as long as Verdante did. Oh yeah! Hail to the chief! On the other hand, he won't be getting Leaf Storm for a long, long time. One day, you'll read about me in the news: Boy Found Mauled in Ditch. Next time, I'll get my Patrat, Lilipup, or Rattata. How thrilling! Which one will it be!?

    Time for Gen VII

    So, apparently, there's a silhouette for a brand new Pokemon. It's called Magiana, according to Serebii. Gotta say, if this is indeed true, I'm starting to wonder if we're going to get Pokemon Z or whatnot.
