    Oop, looks like they're almost done with all of Sinnoh's Legendary Psychic Types. Who's ready to go literally chase after dreams?

    I gotta feeling like the Meteor member (Eclipse was her name?) that has fallen ''asleep'' due to Chandelure burning away her soul will have something to do with either Cresselia or Darkrai.

    They ain’t bitches, they’re a true honest human being willing to admit they’ve attempted and lost a Reborn Nuzlocke.

    That deserves praise knowing Reborn’s standards. Smh Amethyst... but good job on reborn 19 development so far. 

     

    And then there is this:

    This was less of a "why isn't everyone hyped!?!?!!" and more of a "this seems like a more appropriate discussion for a different topic". 

    Touche. Anyway, I'm not saying we received less than expected, but something little bit more precise, a hint or a leak, so we have a hook, something to discuss and speculate about different than pure theorycrafting would do the job. Otherwise we are drifting to other topics what keeps this thread alive at last due to lack of fuel, which quickly burned out. Am I asking too much?

     

    Come on, dont keep us hanging.

    You have no problem considering some dex entries as canon but not others, that sounds like cherry picking to me.

    Some entries are okay, huge amount of them is not okay, that's not cherry picking, that's criticising.

    Have you considered the possibility that it can control how it's body impacts the world?

    That's some Arceus stuff going on and a little bit forced, not well-conceived explanation - Ockham's razor, let's keep it simple.

    Its stated in a matter of fact way, also if Mewtwo was produced via a egg like most normal pokemon than why can't you breed Mew in universe?

    That's not an argument, sounds like ''it's a fact cos I think so''. I always thought Mewtwo was produced, manufactured in a test tube, grown out of Mew's DNA, in my opinion that's what the journals say, they say about using DNA, not uterus.

     

    5 hours ago, The Swordsman said:

    Nothing in the games states that Pokemon eggs are the only way to get baby pokemon

    Again, not an argument - ''nothing in the world can prove aliens dont exist, prove me wrong'', it's not arguable in any way, I may only say that nothing in the games states otherwise - in fact, eggs are the only explained breeding mechanism.

     

    So or so, as I said this game is not being developed since yesterday, and we may demand some more accuracy and deliberate design, don't you think?

    where'd the hype go

    give us some more than one pic and dozens of loading bars. Kindly please.

    Then again....we do have Ash, who simply lifts a Cosmoem like it was an apple. This Pokémon is supposed to weight a ton. A literal ton. So much for fictional world logic....

    Anime is a whole different level, just to remind that in the first episodes we saw normal fish among pokemon, so...

    It makes no sense arguing about whether things are logical or not in the world of Pokémon.

    You miss the point a bit, it is not about applying our physic into the pokemon world, cos then we would question literally every pokemon trait and their existence (which would be ''come on, it is not realistic movie'' level, we are not discussing this here) but a need of in-world consistency and, yes, some logic to it. And thus, on a dex entries and Gyarados:

     

    image.png.52047848de574ad3677101f8ca1a5b28.png

     

    If NPCs and game chars said 'no, a mon cannot destroy a city or kill people' then THIS would be illogical and questionable.

     

    To make you understand: in Harry Potter series, they got the spell that immediately localizes any underage magic user, so why Voldemort, once controlling Ministry of Magic, couldn't localize anyone he wanted? This is an example of not-so-well written world, in opposition to detailed, described and planned LotR world, which has almost no such holes. Ofc the moment you bring into the world magic, supernatural beings or monsters (or worst, time travel), you deal with and accept such things, but there's a fine line between well-written and thought-through world and inconsistency. and this line is under  discussion. Main game producers aren't around since yesterday, we might demand some more planned details from them.

    Like I said before Magcargo's dex entry isn't as crazy as it seems not only does it not have mass for that temperature to matter, scientists have created far hotter temperatures in a lab. It feels off and doesn't follow ingame logic in your opinion, at this point you are just cherry picking what you want to believe no matter what the canon is. The way the journals are phrased makes it clear that there is nothing metaphorical going on. While Pokemon is inspired by the real world, it is a fantasy world, that is a fact and while I won't give you bird pokemon breathing fire, I will give you a dragon that split into three different beings thanks to a argument and another dragon that does nothing but consume, yet leaves no waste. There is no grey zone at all, it is stated as fact even outside the Pokedex entries that pokemon eat each other and Gen 6 cleared up people eating pokemon, they do, you can even order some pokemon for yourself.

    In a lab? Your laser printer produces higher temperatures.

     

    No, I'm not cherry picking - I got nothing against the fact that its skin reaches twice the sun's temperature, cos it is in line with pokemon world: fire-spitting dragons, small water mons producing infinite amounts of water under high pressure in their intensines, making lasers from solar energy and so on - I'm against the fact that this skin doesn't make him melt through metal floor, doesn't increase significantly temperature of its surroundings etc. - another example is Wailord that should float in the air.

     

    The authors may write whatever the heck they want into dex entries as long as it makes sense in-world and the consequences follow it and it is consistent. Even Bill turning himself into a pokemon from the post above makes sense, since both Humanity and Pokemon share the same origin, so we may straight say it makes in-world sense, without overthinking. But the next post above is a good example of these being sometimes cool, but most often completely out of the blue descriptions. Same, 1st gen events and dex description might imply that the only Cubone that wears its mother skull would be the one with mother killed by Team Rocket (and I'm not even bringing ''nobody has seen its face'' - geez, there are people that have no problem with killing a marowak, but there was none to get one cubone and crush the helmet or take it off by force? This is not making cubone look mysterious, it's dumb).

     

    And again, canonicaly, pokemon lay eggs, they dont give birth, so what makes you think that ''the way the journals are phrased'' implies there's nothing metaphorical to it? I'd say the otherwise, the scientist who wrote them was in euphoria (there is an exclamation mark there) when writing about Mew producing an offspring, nothing precise there.

    As far as the game's canon goes, not really. Nintendo and Game Freak to this day still have that as Mewtwo's canon origin, despite the multiple chances to change it in remakes or update it when Mewtwo appears. Only some fans take issue with it and the pokedex entries despite this being a fantasy world. Heck some of the dex entries aren't as ridiculous as they sound like Magcargo's, which doesn't have enough mass to be the world ending pokemon some people think it is, at best it would singe you if stood by it for a long time. The Pokemon Adventures/Special manga even uses dex entries as plot points.

    Some info from dex entries are cool, backstories, how things function (which were also used in Reborn, e.g. Chandelure burning souls) etc., on the other hand, we have stuff like Wailord being less dense than the air and Magcargo being twice as hot as the sun and more. It feels off to the point of ridicolousness, non-consistent with the in-world logic, since in all other instances it follows normal physics (roughly, teleporters are only slighlty bending the rules, and dont give me ''there are flying birds spitting fire and such info is something you see being off?'' b**t).

     

    There is also this whole grey zone of  ''do they eat each other? Do people eat them?'' - this gap is left for non-adult target, as well as ''nobody seen pokemon mate, the eggs just appear'', what makes me doubt ''giving birth'' have any other than metaphorical meaning. 

  8. This pic looks great, I already love the atmosphere. And I am rather thrifty in such statements. Looks like leading to/out of Victory Road? Anyway, if it involves night, snow and a mountain path, count me in.

    It wasn't a metaphor going by how the journal entries are written, which can all be found here


    Aren't some parts of early gens considered to be... arguable? Like, dex entries, which usually dont make sense even up until now, or stuff like that. I don't even think Mew (or any mon) have birth canal...

    E19 won't be released until all animations for all moves are complete. That'll be part of the post-game scoreboard.

    See ya guys in a year or two, lol. For anybody hoping for a fast release, the last time animations were included into the progress, it was E15 or E16? Anyway, the one which took, like, a year and a half of development. So, chill your mammals guys, there is a long, long way before us. There are other, currently unknown elements which may take hell knows how long or short.

    To distract ourselves from the moderators's shenanigans and to kill some time.... 

    Let's talk who dies!!!😃😃😃

    My top picks are:

    Lin(of course), though with what Shade told us in WTC it might not happen,

    Sirius because I can already imagine,Saphira going fucking nuts after learning that he is the one who burned their house down,

    And a few others I saw while poking through the switches of the game,and not gonna reveal without the mods consent.

    Lin is not ''of course'' - probably some instance, an avatar, remotely-controlled robot, future/past Linself or whatever it is will be destroyed, as portrayed at Yureyu. But ''real'' Lin will survive. Sirius probably will be ripped to pieces, which is good.

    The whole point of the second route is Taka doesn't die, its supposed to be the "ideal" path to take. However it might be a tradeoff of Reshiram has Solaris live, while Zeckrom has Taka live.

    Isn't the route where Taka dies (not battling him in WTC) the one in which we gain pluses with Anna and Shade (so being ideal)?

  11. No bets on who's dying after the update? Don't forget Taka has to die in the second route somewhere. Also, maybe Solaris won't make it, so ancient legacy is finally killed off? Would fit Lin style. Then, sisters will probably rip Sirius into pieces once they find out it was him who burned Belrose Mansion. Who else left from ''die-able'' characters?

    i still don't intend to add gen 8. it'd take something really, really cute to convince me-- and that's also if they don't dick it up with too many unique/changed mechanics. as much as i want the game to be finished and fully updated, i have to draw a line for practicality somewhere.

    Well, after Alola and Lets go!, it seems they are not too inventive with this official game release, so we are one A-Ninetales away from gen8 introduction! 

     

    Ofc kidding, I agree with the above, it would be an overkill and unnecessary. The time to finish this project is near and it is a good time to finish, cause from now it could, in my observation, only go downhill. How long it's been?

  13. I'm not entirely sure if it is a bug - I was doing the Arc Mega Ring sidequest, I started with talking to Santiago/bald guy in Peridot, beat him, then I gave rogenrolla to McKree in Spinel, then I proceed to Jasper to give this girl Loudred and Jigglypuff. Then I went to Apophyl to give Mahukita back, but she wants an autograph first.

    And now: McKree speaks about ''total lack of service here'' only, girl in Apophyl wants an autograph, bald guy asks if I found a place for Jigglypuff, girl in Jasper wants headphones. I'm running in circles, is this a bug or am I missing something? Game.rxdata
