  1. Good news is that Pokemon Masters gives us evidence that regular Sun/Moon is cannon, not the Ultra crap.  Bad news is that Pokemon Masters is still not a very good game.

      Not necessarily with Hoopa running the show. If the Cyrus event didn't imply that he's from a timeline where he won, I'd be more willing to agree. But, it seems like it yanks from the multiverse at random. Rainbow Rocket being there also challenges regular Sun and Moon being canon.

  2. So if Titania's Aegislash faints, would she still be able to wield its unconscious body as a weapon?

      Ironically, if that was the case, that would mean that Aegislash would be the only Pokemon able to inflict damage after fainting. No wonder why it’s part of the Uber Tier!

      I mean, you could do plenty of other things like throw fainted geodudes at people
      ....is this going to be the new meta?

    4. Q-Jei

      That would be more the case from a human's perspective than from a Pokemon's perspective, probably.

  3. Calling it now.  Ash beats Raihan and takes his place in the top 8 just in time for the final tournament.  The other 7 are Leon, Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Alder, Diantha...

     

    .......and Tobias.

  4. TFW Celeste didn't visit your island on the night of a meteor shower (like she's apparently SUPPOSED to) so you miss a ton of star fragments simply because you didn't know any better.  And no I'm not time travelling to fix that, time travelling is for cheaters.

     

    ...Okay maybe I'll time travel if we get to April 19 and I still haven't found any Aries star pieces.

  5. In the new Animal Crossing, do weeds still = bad?  The fact that they have uses makes me want to say no, and I like the way they look now, but if they still make your villagers unhappy I need to know otherwise I'd keep them.

    1. Commander

      Commander

      They aren't as bad and have some uses but better to just pull them all up and only keep like 70

  6. My thoughts on the new Death Note manga oneshot (spoiler safe)

     

     

     

     

     

    First of all I should mention how I've seen a lot of people say it's bad because "it doesn't have the epic back-and-forth cat-and-mouse game like the original".  If you were expecting or hoping for something like that from a oneshot issue, you were being silly.  I thought it was good for what it was, aside from two big missteps.

     

    Spoiler

    The first (and lesser) problem is that Near basically does nothing.  That'd be fine, if he was just there for two or three pages where he decides he has no way of catching the new main character and leaves.  But no, he and his officer buddies take up exactly 20 pages (I counted) which is almost a quarter of the whole issue.  They could have either cut out most of that and focused on the main character more, or invested more into Near's involvement and had it lead up to something more than "I give up lol".

     

    Even then I really liked the manga overall until the end.  The ending is the REAL problem.  It kinda spits in the face of the whole series: the Death Gods literally make up a new rule at the very last second and don't tell the main character about it, so he dies even though he did everything right.  What's worse is that there's some bad design in the manga itself: it seems to show that the rule was changed WHILE the guy still had the Death Note and was still never told about it, which actually breaks an existing rule of the Death Gods being up front about their own rules.  It's only after going back and re-reading the page carefully that you realized they covered their bases in saying Ryuk didn't change the rule until after the kid gave it up.  Even still, it's dumb and only exists to reach the pre-decided endpoint of "the main character always dies".  At least almost everyone but him has a happy ending I guess?

     

    Other than those two things I really liked it.  I would like to see another oneshot after this, because it leaves the world in an... interesting geopolitical state.

    1. Eagleby18

      Eagleby18

      Oh right, I should also mention there was another oneshot made back in 2008.  It was lame and dumb, this new one's much better.

  7. It wasn't a bait and switch after all, Ash really did win the league.  Also even though I don't actually like this generation's artstyle or animation even I have to admit the fight's climax was awesome.

    1. doombotmecha

      doombotmecha

      Absolutely! I saw a gif of the climax of the fight, that was so cool!

       

      Oh look, and Ash even gets to keep his title. Nice! I like how it makes the ending of future seasons/regions much less clear.

  8. In the anime we're looking at a possible last-second Tobias right now

  9. So this version of Ash has a mythical AND an Ultra Beast now

  10. Tfw Ash's first officially-owned legendary has the same win-loss ratio as his Torterra

  11. There appears to be a mistake in the Icy Field's readout.

     

    It says that Rock moves are ADDED Ice type, meaning they should be Rock/Ice moves and do neutral damage to pure Ice types.

     

    But I used Power Gem on a Beartic and it took "not very effective" damage, meaning the move must have been changed to pure Ice type.

     

    If that's intentional, there should be an arrow and not a plus sign in the readout.

  12. Oops, looks like I missed Ame's birthday.   Happy belated birthday Ame!

  13. You'll never guess what my encounter for Digglet's Tunnel was.  A 5th Zubat.

     

    Also RIP Red Eagle the Fletchinder (level 18-26)  Sacrificed herself to defeat the Totem Lurantis

  14. I've lost way too many Pokemon now, just from trying to level grind them to replace team members who died in ACTUAL battles.

     

    SOS battles SUUUUUUCK for Nuzlockes.

  15. Finally unlocked Poke-Pelago and... uh oh, I've been releasing my Pokemon as they die so I don't have enough to make the berry field.  Well then.

  16. Aw shit brooklet hill devastated me and I didn't even fight the Totem yet.  I knew I shouldn't have put off grinding.

     

    RIP "Your Waifu" the Grimer (level 7-18) was too busy trying to keep Zubat alive in a double battle and didn't pay attention to her HP until it was too late.

     

    RIP "Brobat" the Zubat (level 8-19) At least I have three more of the things lol

  17. Man these first encounters aren't working out for me.  Two Lilipups and neither even had the decency to have Pickup

  18. First island down, only losses so far were that Wingull and a Yungoos I had only caught a few minutes before he died.

     

    RIP Bigly (level 9-10)  Seriously HOW did that tackle kill you from full HP, the thing was the same level and you only had -1 defense

  19. The idea of a Nuzlocke's first-pokemon rule is to get you to use stuff you wouldn't use normally, but so far it's all been stuff I've used before.

     

    Also I've got 4 Zubats and counting.

    1. Commander

      Commander

      Dupes clause is useful for that. Personally, I think it's more for people less skilled as it ends up having you in situations that aren't favorable. Oh dear lord Mossdeep Slaughterhouse brings back memories.

    2. Eagleby18

      Eagleby18

      Nah, man.  Dupe's clause is for people who can't handle the rules and want an exemption.

    3. Ojama Yellow

      Ojama Yellow

      alternatively for people who are sick of the fucking sixth poochyena in three gyms jesus fuck emerald why did you axe zigzagoon spawns

  20. Well, this Nuzlocke's not off to a great start.  Half the team is Grimers and I've already lost a Wingull to being an idiot while level grinding.

     

    RIP Linda level (5-6) you basically didn't do anything.

     

    At least I beat Ilima without a death.  That guy's Smeargle is crazy strong for something so early in the game.

  21. If you were nuzlocking gen 7, would you count "Route 1" and "Route 1: Hau'oli Outskirts" as two separate areas?  They're each a different section on  the map, they each have their own title cards, and each a different description, but at the same time...  they're both Route 1...

      That's a bit of a tricky one.  I might say no, but looking at Bulbapedia, apparently they got different(?) descriptions in USUM.  Definitely an iffy call.  I don't know how many other areas you can catch mons in Gen 7 and I don't really Nuzlocke but you could probably count it as a technicality, especially if the game doesn't have as many areas as other games.......maybe?

      i generally tend to count areas with the same name as the same area, but i make an exception for route 1 in alola. not fun at all to carry around only your starter until trainers school.

    4. Seal

      Seal

      There are a lot of sub area's and I think there won't be a lot of Pokemon to catch if you don't count sub area's.

  22. After 3 and a half years of forgetting about it completely, I've finally finished the 6th gen monorun.  Until episode 19 of course.

  23. Finally done with my thesis on why the glass workstation is the worst part of the game.  I hope Ame sees and at least considers some of suggestions to make it less bad.

    1. Abyssreaper99

      Abyssreaper99

      I think all in all, people just want the option to skip the void stuff I guess?

    2. Eagleby18

      Eagleby18

      Honestly, the void stuff is among the least of the problems there.

  24. Google's pulling every string it can to take this video off the internet, so I'm doing my part and posting another download here.

      @LeonVermillion Lets just say Google is in a lot of trouble

  25. Weird question:  If I wanted to change my character name, where in the files would I find that variable?

    1. Dreamblitz

      Dreamblitz

      Character Name would be stored in the save (so game.rxdata) but I don't think those are very easy to edit directly. You'd probably be better doing it ingame through debug or something similar.

    2. Eagleby18

      Eagleby18

      Thanks.  Is there a debug file for episode 18?  I know there's one for 17.

    3. Dreamblitz

      Dreamblitz

      These days it's easier to enable it with mods. I think Aironfaars mod box has it if Waynolts one doesn't
