  3. The amount of spoilers in that trailer was insane. No teases, they just gave us all of that info straight :x

      They want to grab new fans with information instead of triggering curiosity to old loyal ones

  4. Writing is really hard. Wish I have a partner to discuss together about our fangame's project story--

      That's why writing is hard too--you need to make sure that your reader can stay and enjoy your writing without being easily bored or getting distracte ^^"

  5. It's often that my suggestion within a group is not considered and then there is problem because of that and then the problem got resolved with my previous suggestion. It gets annoying you know, why people don't want to listen at the first place?

      Unless that person dies because of such ignorance and then there is no second chance, duh

  6. I'm really excited for Phoenix Rising. The project seems to have so much potential and the Devs from the way I see it, are very compassionate towards the game that they have no plans of rushing it till it's polished and perfectly executed and I really appreciate that. Not to mention their latest tweet really hyped me up for the first possible demo coming this year I hope. Here it is:

     

     

    It looks amazing.

      Phoenix Rising like Reborn is one of the few fan-games which impact will change the fan-game community. Apparently, the demo is ready, what remains is tackling away bugs. Looking forward for this too~

  7. man if people know what happened in the reborn league they will definitely stop calling reborn emo

     

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Perhaps the Reborn Download Page/Title Menu disclaimer thing should give info that the game is based on what happened on the Reborn League. Or at least give some kind of tribute for the dying character...

  8. The Last Airbender... rarely have I seen a show that is just good without moments where "it should have gone another way" or "it should not have happened". even the weak moments of a character serve for great character building and have good reasons behind them. Take, for example, Zuko in Ba Sing Se. Instead of sticking with Uncle Iroh he chose to fight with Azula and the Firenation, betraying Iroh in the process. This is not a strong moment for Zuko, but it is understanable. For 3 years he's wanted to return to the Firenation a hero and now he has the chance and then some. It helps that in one of the comics he at first didn't want to leave Ba Sing Se because of what he did, but thanks to Tai Lee and Azula setting him up way Mai he did return eventually. And it didn;t take him too long to figure out he had messed up.

     

    But I'm ranting. If you have not yet seen the Last Airbender (first off how did you avoid it for so long?) I highly recomend you just watch it. It's without a doubt a masterpiece. Just avoid the movie

      Oh yeah i haven't finished korra. I just can't finish it--don't ruin my memories of The Last Airbender since so far I'm disappointed with Korra.

      Oh, you rewatch it too? It' s really good. My favorite~ It's just so awesome how family friendly material can have such depth. I admit that it's a bit naive and there's amount of character vs world size discrepancy but that's so minor and not much of a problem. This is no doubt how animation should be~

  10. Here is my opinion on each of the bendable Elements in the Avatar universe:

     

    Water: Most utility, but most restrictive. Without taking Water everywhere you have a chance of not having anything to bend at all.

     

    Earth: Second Most Restrictive, probably second least ulility. Earth is a useful element for many things, but not for as many things as others.

     

    Fire: Least Restrictive, second most ulility. You can just create it out of thin air, making it the least restrictive. It also has more ulility uses than Air and Earth. Granted it's also the most dangerous one.

     

    Air: Second Least Restrictive, Least Ulility. You can fly and purify air, but that's about the Utility you'll get from air. It can help in situations but for general use Air is probably the weakest element.

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      I think all elements are not restrictive but some requires more "power, skill, stamina" to be controlled. You can bend water from drawing moisture from air but it's requires more skill, stamina to do that. You can bend earth by manipulate dust in the air but no one in the avatar world can do that.

  11. I can't seem to wrap my head around the concept that a word by its existence can be offensive. What matters to me is the intent behind it. I'm not going to be upset by someone using a word unless it's actively intended to insult. And I legitimately can't understand why some others are.

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      This is what called semantics. The meaning of a word is not only derived from its definition but it is largely affected by the context of communication. It's pretty interesting, actually~

  12. Remember when we don't remember all Pokemon's type? That day is the day of fun battle---have to make a wild guess of typing--one of the true challenge of Pokemon games~

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Oh yes, this is why I love fakemon. Sadly it's rare to find 'better than GameFreak' fakemon~

  13. I hate how people interpret Dark-type as literal darkness. It means to be pokemon who exploit negative emotion (a.k.a. "dark" emotion).

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      That's it! Such association of literal darkness and evil is what I don't like...

  14. Is it mandatory for all Pokemon to be available in a fan-game?

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Good to hear. Actually, the reason is technical since we intend to use high resolution sprites, it'd be impossible to sprite all pokemon with limited time. Not to mention that it'd be awkward to include non-story relevant mascot legends...

  15. Apparently, Huge Power is called Muscleman in Japanese. Well, let's see who really get that muscle, duh!

  16. The only time I got 'friends' in real life is when they are in trouble. Well, I'm glad I could help. However, sometimes I wish I could spend more time when everything is right, too. I guess I'm way too selfish and greedy, huh?

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Well, you could say it that way but I'm really glad when they contact me because that's the only way I could socialize in real life. It's kinda creepy but I start to feel 'happy' when they come to seek help. It's as if I wish them to have problems but not really. Well, I'm a reserved person anyway so perhaps they want to talk with me more but don't know how to start (me neither do).

  17. Rewatching The Last Airbender, I really appreciate the beauty of predictable story. Well, I thought unpredictability is what makes a story great but it seems that it's not always the case~

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      @MaelstromI have watched some episodes and I'm not really enjoyed it. Everything from worldbuilding, characterization, and plot coherence seems messy. TLA has more dynamic battle styles too which the sequel miss. I guess that's what usually happen to unplanned sequel. I heard that TLA is not supposed to have one but Nickelodeon ask for it, what a shame.

  18. I tried writing the story that would eventually become the plot of my pokemon fangame.

     

    To my horror, I realized that I had committed the worst sin a writer can make. My Main Character is a Mary Sue (Or Gary Stue, whichever gender you chose.) It isn't as bad as the new Star Wars Trilogy, because my character is actually forgotten and not exactly liked by everyone. But He/She/Xe/Whatever doesn't have enough character flaws, and looks perfect compared to every other character.

     

    So what should I do? Rewrite the script and write in some character flaws that make sense and flow with the story? Should I rewrite and make the other characters more perfect (It would really screw with my intention of creating "down to earth" characters, though)? Or should I say that the actual default names are Mary Sue and Gary Stue, and make fun of it for the entirety of the game?

     

    I'm going with option 1. 

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      If said NPC is so perfect then his mistake will make a good plot-twist. One mistake but fatal and change the course of the plot.

      Spoiler

      Example is Lelouch's mistakenly order Euphy to annihilate Nippon, heh.


      In case of player character, ake the player lose a fight or have bad relationship due to choices made.

  19. I hope Gen IV remake will feature Arceus just like how Rayquaza featured in Delta Episode.

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      ^ This. Perhaps Arceus is the shaper of 'player' dimension while every other dimension--UB Dimension, will have its own creator similar like Arceus, just saying. I don't know, the moment GF announce UB I got this feeling that Pocket Monster series will end soon and continued by a series about alien...just random thought.

  20. Crawli's bugs are crushed. Both Crawli and Ren provided actual challenge, maybe I need to pay more attention to my EVs and could've leveled Orciorio up to lvl 50 for Hurricane smh

     

    Here's my team:

    I also got my hands on Prankster Meowstic, and despite being severely under-leveled it still did well against Saki and Venam.

      That's...tanky as hell. Never thought Lunatone would be that useful. Well, good luck for your run~

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      You may be right about that. However, GF never release Azure Flute so perhaps that item will be put to use in the future, perhaps at the end of the Pokemon if Pokemon will ever have an end...

  23. Why people hate Ash-Greninja? Is it because of the design or because the concept of trainer-Pokemon sync is bad?

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Ah, so it's alright to have trainer-pokemon synchronization as features then. Honestly, I really like the concept of Ash-Greninja. Pokemon games should involve trainer more tbh. Trainers should not be immortal since they are people too who can get exhausted. It'd be neat for trainer to have HP-stat in game for more immersion actually~

  24. I'm so annoyed that my idea has been used by other media, not just the general idea but also the details, and such media turns out to be AMAZING! Now if I'm going to use my idea it won't be so original even though I have spent my time doing research to get inspirations. What to do, sigh...

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      If someone realizes that my idea is way too similar, people will sue me for plagiarism or at least they'll start to compare. Anyway, thanks for your feedback, they make me calm down a bit Yes, what I need is calm down and then find ways to distinguish my ideaa, time for a break, I guess~

  25. Hi, english speaker what is the antonym for "arid" when "arid" means something dull? Could the word "vivid" chosen as the opposite since "arid and vivid" sounds nice as a pair?

      ah, sorry for late reply but thanks for the help~
