I'd love it if we could have costumes based on past memorable character.
Maybe have a Hero Costume that resembles Ike's outfit.
A Mage costume that could resemble Robin's outfit.
A Myrmidon outfit resembling Lyn's and Guy's styles.
Maybe a Bow Knight outfit that resembles Sacaen Nomads.
It'd honestly be a really cool touch for a lot of nostalgic fans and it might drum up interest in older games if executed well. -

That means that buying and using 3 Scrolls of The Skill Aptitude Mark 1 has the same cost as buying and using 1 Scroll of The Skill Aptitude Mark 4 Skill but using 3 Scrolls of The Skill Aptitude Mark 1 give the unit +5% more to all of his/her Growth Rates then you get from using 1 Scroll of The Skill Aptitude Mark 4 Skill
I think I'd just fix the code and swap the percentages if it were me.
Or make it so Mark 4 gives 35%. -

Sothis (Three Houses): My heart says Marianne, but I feel like Sothis is really the ONLY choice from Three Houses.
I can think of several ideas for Three Houses options.
Jeralt or the Death Knight charging back and forth across the stage on horseback, attacking with his lance/scythe to draw in targets.
Catherine and Shamir working as a duo to combo opponents between themselves.
Yuri who could deal weak damage to targets but in exchange bring any items they've got to the player. If no items are in play when he appears, he deals more damage instead.
That said, I've really not played any of the other series that have DLC fighters although I think that Terry should get Andy and have him removed from the KoF stage instead. -
I got it on my birthday back in June with all the DLC.
Currently pending completion of the remaining stories as I only completed Crimson Flower.
Don't remember the duration for that path though and I can't find my cartridge at this second to give an answer. -
I only skip if I don't like the song.
Which can also include the endings and is probably why I've stopped my rewatch of Pokémon XY entirely in Japanese as Peace Smile! just gets me singing it and not paying attention to anything else.

Pretty sure it's only maps that they don't need to be in.
So they're mandatory for the story and the paralogue they're part of. -

Can someone please tell me how do I get A Zarude Code in The UK?
Has Serebii not said anything about it?

I think I'd personally use a Mint to give each of them a better stat nature and I'd teach Groudon some physical moves in place of the majority of special attacks it has.
Otherwise, the Ribbons are signs that you've payed special attention to both but moreso Groudon.
Where's your starter from that Generation though? It feels wrong to not have that with them. -
Personally I'd suggest that Path of Radiance has easily the best Boss enemies in regards to them tying into involved characters somehow.
It's not even just the Black Knight that makes me say it because let's remember that if Jill gets too close to her father on the battlefield, he can recruit her!
I won't pretend to remember more boss characters than I do and aside from Ashnard, they were pretty well the most memorable for me. I mean I feel Petrine should be mentioned but I didn't even remember any prominence in the game until about 5 minutes into typing this post trying to remember other memorable characters.
But then again... if you want meme suggestions...
Batta the Beast and Cervantes are my top picks. -
I don't really start conversations unless I have something to say or ask.
Usually, even before the pandemic hit, my friends and I could be sat in a room playing the same game as each other and hardly saying a word. I can get to be noisy when I'm really into something so my mother usually gets really confused when it's dead silent because we're all focused and not even chatting to each other.
The point I mean to make is that conversation should come naturally and trying to force it isn't really a way to keep a long and enjoyable conversation going.
If you want some topics to talk about try thinking of Movies, TV shows, Books, Games, Non Pandemic-related news and so on.
Heck, when the first lockdown started here I was basically demanded to play Scrabble because my mother was going insane from the lack of social activity. -

I'd also like to mention Latias appears at Level 30 in ORAS, and none of the ribbons it has are exclusively from before Gen 6. And given which ribbons it has, I'd believe it's likely from ORAS.
I keep thinking that if battled in Omega Ruby it's at level 50 but it's not and that keeps bothering me...
Well I guess what's really bothering me is that it was caught in a Master Ball and was holding when when traded. In Omega Ruby it's a fixed battle and in Alpha Sapphire it's a free gift that prevents you from choosing the ball to get it in.6 hours ago, Emerson said:Coolness Master, Beauty Master, Cuteness Master, Cleverness Master are all the ORAS maxed contest stat ribbons, with the odd exception of Toughness, which definitely lends credibility to it being not hacked since its an odd exclusion.
What's odd about the Toughness exception is that all of the contest stats can be maxed out in ORAS because they removed the Sheen Cap. You can max out any Pokémon's Contest performance and the only thing it needs to do is take part in contests with appropriate moves for decent combos to win them.
6 hours ago, Emerson said:Best Friends, Training are Gen 6 introduced and available up to Gen 8.
The Training Ribbon itself is interesting because it's an award for completing every course of Super Training and it can't be earned outside of Gen 6.
Best Friends is available in every Generation since its debut and is rewarded for Maxing the Affection with the Pokémon.6 hours ago, Emerson said:Skillful Battler, Expert Battler are Gen 6 exclusives that from the Battle Maison.
Both of which make this extremly difficult to suggest it's not hacked but there is still the very unlikely plausibility that it was on the team of someone who was able to clear both without needing to use it except maybe as bait for something else. However unlikely that may be.
6 hours ago, Emerson said:Effort, Alert, Shock, Downcast, Careless, Relax, Snooze, Smile are Gen 4 introduced but were made available again in Gen 6.
Gorgeous, Royal and Gorgeous Royal Ribbons were also Gen 4 available and reintroduced in Gen 6.
No rebuttals but I can't remember where the first 7 you've said are availble in ORAS.
6 hours ago, Emerson said:The only thing that bothers me is the moveset, and it being only Level 40. I struggle to believe it would actually have obtained all of the Battle facility Ribbons while not even hitting level 50, and with that moveset it's weird to imagine it having the Gen 8 Battle Tower ribbons. I guess it's TECHNICALLY possible but I have to wonder why they'd even go through the effort only to WT the thing away.
For me it's this coupled with the Master Ball thing I mentioned earlier. Something I did come to the conclusion of is that they did it by accident or a younger relative might have done it without knowing what they were doing or something like that. We can't rule out the possibility of an accident or even deliberate sabotage because that's not fair to the prior owner if it was an accident or something like that.
6 hours ago, Emerson said:Also, it's 100% perfect IV with Timid, I checked the calc. Unfortunately, this thing is very likely hacked, UNLESS it says Hyper Trained on the IV page of its stats. Then it's just very weird, and possible duped, but otherwise totally legit.
The problem with Hyper Training is that it requires being at level 100 to do it. I remember trying to do so recently and it wouldn't let me. So this lines up more to it being hacked in some way.
6 hours ago, Emerson said:I still believe it's most likely genned, since the likelihood of it having 0 EVs, and going through all of the Battle facilities and champions, and also being exactly 10 levels above the ORAS catch level while also having a very very, uh, bad moveset, are just very... weird. Role Play is an ORAS/USUM tutor move exclusive with Latias, and then Roost and Confide are TM exclusives for it in Gen 6/7.
The 0 EVs could come from the Friendship berries to be fair. Although as you've said before, why go through the effort to do something if you're gonna undo the effort you put in. That in itself smells like hacking too. Not because of the 0 EVs but because of the erasure of the stats that could've gotten them through some of those challenges.
With regards to the moves, they could've changed them to be like that before transferring since Leon's not exactly the toughest of opponents to get a Battle Ribbon from and in a Single Battle with Latias along for the ride, I reckon it's very doable.
Although I don't understand why they'd go to the lengths of turning off the Exp. Share when running through the Elite 4 in any of the applicable games.
The only thing I really have to add is that if we eliminate the impossible, whatever information is left is the unlikely truth.
Personally, I'd return the thing since it seems WAY too weird under the circumstances. At the very least I'd try to get into contact with the person who sent it to ask why they traded it since it's an incredibly bizarre collection of Moves, Ribbons and accomplishments for it. -
It may pay you to check its IVs using the Judge feature.
Level 40 is the level it appears at in the Gen 3 games and it can be shiny in them. So check where it says it's originally from in case it has a bizarre location.
What's interesting is that if they've tried giving it every available ribbon available to it, it's missing the Champion Ribbon from Gen 3 and the Contest Ribbons it could've gotten from them.
Are there screenshots you can provide of its status screens to help me evaluate it? -
Honestly I prefer the Crown Tundra because the game doesn't try to tell me what to do more than it tries to suggest it. It leaves things for you to discover on your own rather than putting you on a set path with little deviation.
Personally, I have to get 3 more Pokédex entries recorded to complete that part of the Pokédex but once that's done, I've got the tournament to look forward to. And in the meantime, I can do some Dynamax Adventures if I don't wanna work on that.
Plus I find it glorious that you can use Dynamax Adventures to cheese the main story since beating Peony at the start of it isn't a requirement to carry on with the content.
Once you get access to them, it'll be easy to cheese the game if you have a rough idea on what to do. -

In my honest opinion, should be reduced to in-game currency, and ONLY in-game currency (and even then, it'd be best to avoid displaying it as a real-life slot machine).
But... I wanna get Porygon the RIGHT way...

Because Custom Specials are unlikely to return in SSBU (though it would be incredibly awesome if they did), this will apply more to speculation for SSB6.
When Custom Specials return, what if next time they're sorted into categories? In SSB, each fighter's specials generally serve one of the following purposes:
- Power - A powerful attack designed to deal big damage and/or launch opponents. These are most frequently N or D Specials, and may involve charging or windups.
- Range - A longer-range and usually projectile-based attack designed for area control. You often see these in the N, S, and D Special Slots, rarely in the U Special Slot.
- Defense - A move designed to protect you from attacks, such as by reflecting or absorbing them. Most often these apply to projectiles, but counters are particularly effective against physical attacks. Defense can also cover status effect moves like Jigglypuff's Sing. These are most common in N and D, less so in S, and practically unheard of in U.
- Mobility - A move designed to help you cover distance quickly, such as by dashing or jumping high. These tend to be S or U specials, as you're already pressing in the directions you want to go, but there are examples in N and D as well.
- Alteration - A move that allows you to tweak some aspect of your fighter, such as by changing which stat buff they're using, which weapon they're using, or even transforming or switching the fighter altogether. This is almost always a D Special, but a few N Specials fit here too.
The idea is to standardize Special functions across fighters for more practical customization. For example, let's say every fighter has Power, Range, and Defense N Specials. Mario's Fireball is obviously his Range N Special. What if his Cape became his Defense N Special, and his Power N Special was a Hammer attack or the Squirt Nozzle? Link has the Boomerang as a Range S Special. Maybe a Hammer could be his Power S Special?
Obviously, there are overlaps in function. Samus' Charge Beam could be interpreted as both a Power Special and a Range Special. But which function does it fit better in regards to Samus? Could it be considered her Power N in contrast to, say, Wave Beam being her Range N? Or could Super Missile be Samus' Power Special while Charge Beam is her Range N? There's some flexibility in how Specials can be categorized.
By choosing, say, 3 categories for each Special Slot, we can then build fighters and their Custom Specials around these categories. This should also aid in coming up with Special options for prospective fighters by providing design directions for their Special options.
- N Specials: Power, Range, Defense
- S Specials: Power, Range, Mobility
- U Specials: Power, Range, Mobility
- D Specials: Power, Defense, Alteration
Here are a couple samples.
Link
- N Specials: Urbosa's Fury, Bow, Daruk's Protection
- S Specials: Hammer, Boomerang, Pegasus Boots
- U Specials: Spin Attack, Whip, Revali's Gale
- D Specials: Remote Bomb, Parry, Equip Claymore/Spear/Sword & Shield
Captain Falcon
- N Specials: Falcon Punch, Hotshot Blaster, Falcon Shield
- S Specials: Power, Ankle Snare, Raptor Boost
- U Specials: Falcon Upper, Grapple Wire, Falcon Dive
- D Specials: Falcon Kick, Track Mine, Boost Power
This would of course lead to some Specials moving around. Jigglypuff's Sing would become its default N Special, taking the Defense slot, while Rollout could be its Power N or Mobility S. Shulk's Monado Arts and Vision would switch places, with Vision becoming his Defense N and Arts being his Alteration D. Pokemon Trainer would be tricky, but the best options are either a) give Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard a Power and Defense D Special each but prevent them from using their Alteration D Special unless all three use it thereby locking the player to one of the three during battle; or b) not give Power or Defense D Specials to the starters and simply lock them to the Alteration D Special. This could also work for, say, Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles as Team Sonic. They can share an Alteration D Special, or each use a Power or Defense D Special. To simplify customization, team fighters could simply all use the same type for their respective slots. So, if Squirtle uses its Power N, Ivysaur and Charizard will also use their Power N.
So, what do you all think? Got any ideas of your own for Special sets using the categories I laid out?
This post just gave me a random idea of Mario's Fireball being changed to something like Pac-Man's Neutral Special where he charges and it cycles through a bunch of items.
The items would only be used to transform Mario, give him different properties and maybe giving him different Specials based on the powerup given if applicable.
Super Mushroom: Mario grows to half the size of the actual in-game item's size. Meteoring opponent into the ground buries them.
Mini Mushroom: Mario becomes smaller than with the Poison Mushroom's shrinkage. Mario's jumps are floatier, he takes more damage and his attacks are weaker.
Fire Flower: Mario's Neutral Special becomes a Fire Ball that works like his main series games with them coming out quickly. However they don't cause the opponent tp flinch.
Ice Flower: Mario's Neutral Special becomes an Ice Ball that works like an opposite to the Fire Flower however it's slower and can freeze enemies at high damage.
Bee Mushroom: Mario's Up Special becomes Bee Flight and carries him higher than his regular Up Special. If he gets hit by water from something like Greninja's Hydro Pump, he drops.
All of these effects would wear off after sustaining a certain amount of damage. -
Most likely Navarre.
I wouldn't stand a chance and he's probably turn me into confetti. -

I was thinking Eliwood and Ninian.
I also think this.
The hair reminded me of Azura but when I looked carefully at it, I thought that it seems weird to pair her with someone like Eliwood.
Either way that's definitely not a bandana like Ike's on the guy's head because that's part of the visual effect. -
Fire Emblem although it was because of Marth and Brawl specifically. Around the time I was getting my 3DS I pretty much had a choice of getting a plain 3DS and 3 games for a little bit less or get the Awakening model with 3 games and Awakening pre-loaded for a bit more and after what felt like hours of just staring at "Marth" on the cover art, my brain clicked that I could finally get some insight into what the series was about.
It was a tiny bit touch and go at first because my mind was all over the place for a while until I calmed my mind and went back to it. After that, chapters 9 and 13 sold me on the rest of the game and I've not looked back since. -
I don't wanna go too in-depth about it but I'd probably make it so that Rowan and Lianna had their planned weapons of an Axe and Lance respectively and either made it so that you play as Darios leading them out (so as to give the player the Sword tutorial that they wanted to give at the start) while diversifying the weapons a bit more OR, I'd have it so that the story starts with how Chrom and the others found them and have their escape from the Castle as an extra chapter in the vain of a Paralogue that could be used to give the player access to their costumes with the Fire Emblem attached to their arms.

Actually, I managed to help myself in the end. lol I found a spare Gastly in my storage in GO and had enough candies to evolve it up. Required me to use up a lot of the rare candies I had, but I had a LOT, I realized. over 70 of them. And I have 29 left.
And even if I couldn't get Gengar that way, someone actually traded me one on the GTS in Home too! I initially had begun to think that trade would not happen and I was going to take the Pokemon I put there out of the GTS, but lo and behold. lol Not sure what I'll do with that Gengar now.
Oh, awesome! Glad everything worked out!
Hmm... maybe see about putting it on Sword or Shield and giving it the Gigantamax Factor? It'd be a nice way to honour Gengar being the last Pokémon you needed for the Let's Go Dex. -
I'm not unwilling. Just unable.
I hope someone helps ya out soon. -
Yuri, Jill, Laura and Vaike.
Pretty sure none are in the game and it'd be great for Claude to keep referring to Byleth as Teach only to keep getting Vaike's attention. -

Xenoverse 2 players have gathered in tribute at the Dragon Ball Pedestal in Conton City with the Spirit Bomb Co-op Emotes to share their respect and gratitude to him.
He shall be missed.
If you are familiar with: Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Dr Slump, Sand Land, Blue Dragon and so many others you've been familiar with his work.
