Here he is

>me, learning anything at all, ever surely you jest but i beat botw finally!! what a charming and lovely game, rly made me feel like a hero

finally got all the shrines in botw, we in the home stretch now being in the castle stresses me out surprisingly strongly tho so now its break time

Caught a perfect shiny Entei today! But the heat and humidty were awful and had the phone overheat during one of the raids. Named him Cinnabar for the volcano island.

So my pet fish and I have the same energy. If I turn a light on in the middle of the night he’ll slowly float over to me to glare disapprovingly and then just float back to to bottom of the tank to sleep again.

Participated in Entei Day today. Completed twelve raids, caught nine of them, including one shiny that was my highest IV one at 93%. It was also nice in that they were all weather boosted too. These raids got me to 12k away from Lv 37, so I just caught a few things around the house and evolved some Sinnoh mons with the last 15 minutes of my Lucky Egg to make it to 37.

When I was younger, I thought Lupin the 3rd was actually the 3rd movie or something in a series and never watched the Ghibli film because I couldn't find Lupin I or II. Now I just haven't watched Lupin the 3rd because my anime backlog grows every season and maybe watch something every other.

I want my transparent consoles where you can see all the wires and circuits inside.

I've fixed this. This was a bug with the dark theme that doesn't appear to have otherwise been fixed by the upstream maintainer yet.

Latest update is available for Android and iOS devices. Includes the new appraisal system, the new battle change, and likely the info for when the new "things" start showing up. Also, if you go into your Pokemon and do a search for " 4* " it will bring up any 100% Pokemon you have.

@1m in WOW, that looks kind of sweet.

Now Wendy's wants in on the SMM2 action...

The physical version has been announced for NA... Looks like when know when we can expect the 2nd DLC pack. So, this is basically the price of a 1-year NSO membership + the DLC. Your not saving any money here, so I'll most likely pass. As cool as it would be to have a physical copy, I feel it would be more convenient to have this digitally. Plus, I'm already good with my NSO membership for next year, which I got with SMM2 (I know I can stack up to 3 years, but still). I don't have the DLC, but why would I pay $30 when I can get it for $10? Hmm...I actually might just consider getting this if I need to re-up my NSO membership again and still don't have the DLC. Well so much for this being a cool little NSO bonus. I like I've mentioned before, they should give NSO members the DLC for free. ...That is, if you were a member before they announced the DLC. Edit: I'm just gonna leave this here... 🔗https://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-switch/games/puyo-puyo-tetris/141921 Just sayn'... Plus, you get way more content.

Also, this gamefaqs thread surprisingly brings up a good point. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/259372-pokemon-sword/77865717 I did find it funny how like three articles (from eurogamer, polygon, IGN) were made about the whole making every model from scratch thing shortly after Xeno/PikaPlay's original tweet before he deleted it. Shows how common copy-paste journalism/plagiarism for fast clicks (as opposed to doing a little research to finding the truth on something before posting) has become now. It's nothing new, but still. You know aside from animations, another thing I feel Pokemon could do better in again is the soundtrack, which the 3D games/spinoffs excelled at in comparison. Nowadays with the mainline games, too many Pokemon battle songs use the same kind of instrumentation, resulting in an OST that feels phoned in. Maybe it's just me though. I wish there was something particular about Sword/Shield that enticed me enough to justify the $60, especially with all the other games I could be getting and know I'll be having & playing by November, but there's not really, and I'm not bothered by that or anything; just the state the community is in with twisting the truth on things and how this whole mess has been handled by a lot of people in general (GameFreak included). The contempt for GameFreak now is a snowball effect that had slowly been building up for years, and what they're omitting now and their reasoning/excuses for it was simply the breaking point for the fanbase.

I'm ridiculously addicted to this game

I mean there are links and shit to ROMs so.... Reddit one is still live anyway.

I saw Nintendolife has put out an article as well regarding the translation. The Famitsu interview is from around this year's E3, June 13th, so it's not just coming out but is just now being used by those trying to excuse the games. If true, this should've been said at Treehouse Live on the 11th rather than choosing to lie. It's possible that this was the next excuse from Game Freak following the claim of having better animations. Masuda also should have reiterated that they had to start from scratch when putting out a response statement to the backlash just over 2 weeks ago, he didn't. It's just more BS to me that just happened to go under the radar due to a lack of translation, and it only hurts the look of the games and Game Freak by adding more fuel for the negativity. Some fans get so caught up in trying to find justification for decisions that they can't see that. Edit: Some slightly good news for Game Freak is that the Famitsu interview appears to be mistranslated, so this isn't another lie, but there are still a lot of fans making them look bad by running with the bad translation. I'm interested to see how long it takes for sites to make updates or if they're willing to stick to a false narrative for additional clicks.

The best part is that he gets excited when I come home. I grew up with an 85 gallon aquarium so I’m no stranger to fish but I’ve never had one this interactive before.

There are going to be plenty of fans that will likely latch onto that piece of information. I personally don't buy it simply due to the timing of the information, and the fact that Masuda didn't even address that aspect of development when attempting to respond to the backlash over 2 weeks ago. I also cannot buy it because they've put out false information before with regard to better, more expressive animations which they now seem to be admitting are the same at least based on that section. It just seems like another narrative to try and quiet as much of the negative reaction as possible before the games release. They should just focus on trailers, especially looking at the like/dislike ratio for Gigantamax, to speak for the games rather than fan the flames with questionable details trying to excuse the lack of Pokemon.

X Files fanboys would be having a field day LOL.

Just going to say that I don't buy that the models in Sword/Shield were made from scratch, not for a second.

Got the Splatoon theme and it's awesome! For anyone with the DLC, can you use these themes in Marathon mode or is it just for Tetris 99 mode (online/CPU)?

Yo, I dare anyone who plans to get this handheld to call this and get this the....LiteSwitch.... Huh, huh, huh..... *Drops mic* This name sells itself, why didn't Nintendo call the system this?!? I can see it now, 'I would like to purchase LiteSwitch'. Try saying that while purchasing this thing with a straight face.

It's crazy how this thing kind of blew up, though I find it hilarious that memes about this are turning to how much people would get slaughtered if they actually did it. XD

I have faith that we as fans can force GameFreak to reverse their decision if we all stand together and make enough noise. It worked for the Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles. It worked for Sonic's movie design. It worked for Mario Maker 2's online with friends. You can't say that corporations never listen to the consumers. There just needs to be a big enough backlash.

freakin nintendo. give us back our pink and spice orange consoles you cowards

If the purpose of this remodel is portability, then it barely looks any smaller than the OG Switch. I still wouldn't be able to fit it inside my pocket. On top of that, since the joy-cons can't be removed anymore, if one of them starts drifting, you're fucked.

I would just think of the pasta sauce ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll probably get that soon. I'm on a level that I'm certain you HAVE to use an item or a Dr ability to clear. Even with Bowser blasting two lines I run out of capsules with like 8 viruses left.

Nintendo World Series Game 2 Great Plateau 5 Yoster Isle 7 Watermelon Warriors lead series 2-0 Game 7 of the Minor League World Series was delayed to Tuesday...fierce straight line winds in the region around Agrabah resulted in sandstorm conditions for much of the day, which forced the games postponement. Word is that the NBL is sending it’s stash of Lanayru gust bellows to Agrabah to help blow the sand out of Williams Memorial Stadium before tomorrow’s finale.

I think the only thing is, going too fast makes me misplace pieces which screws me over. Especially later on when I'm trying to recover from attacks. I did play until I got the Splatoon theme yesterday so some of the good matches there could show my slight improvements.

Nintendo World Series - Game 1 - Great Plateau Explorers at Yoster Isle Watermelon Warriors 1st inning - Big start for YI as Baby Bowser pounds a 2-run homer off of Chio to make it a 2-0 YI lead. 2nd inning - No runs in the 2nd, Great Plateau is still yet to get a hit. 3rd inning - Peach mows down the side in the 3rd inning while Chargin Chuck hits YI's 2nd homer of the night, also a 2 run shot, to make it a 4-0 lead 4th inning - Great Plateau sent mostly a B team to France for the Confederations Cup Playoff earlier today, mostly so as to not impact their ability to go for an NWS title...but they just look sluggish at the plate tonight. Sidon and Daruk reach base in the 4th for their first real scoring opportunity but they can't get the big hit. 5th inning - Not much happening in the 5th. YI in control at the moment. 6th inning - Peach is at her best tonight. Great Plateau's offense that looked so good against Ylisse just doesn't seem to have it tonight. YI still up 4-0 7th inning - 11 strikeouts for Peach, and now YI makes it a 5-0 lead on a Yellow Yoshi RBI single 8th inning - nothing doing in the 8th 9th inning - YI lets Peach go the distance, and its a complete game shutout in game 1. GP will hope to have a better day tomorrow. Yoster Isle draws first blood and takes a 1-0 lead by a 5-0 score. ***Fuzzer...who did Sarasaland beat in last season's NWS? Meanwhile... Minor League World Series Game 6 - Agrabah 1 Mayahem 7 Series tied 3-3 Mayahem jumped all over Agrabah early with 4 runs in the first two innings, and that's all Jiggywiggy...ahem...J-Wiggs, was just too much to deal with for Agrabah's hitters. The home team has won all 6 games in this series...and now its all going to come down to Game 7 in Agrabah tomorrow, with the minor league championship and a trip to the VGWBC on the line.

Even though there is a problem with 5 Mario and 5 Zelda teams currently in the Premier League, and not enough exposure for other smaller teams, there is a little wave of news that no one has seen coming: the rise of third-party teams. Last season was the fall and rise of two Disney teams, and next season will see the introduction of the Agrabah Streetrats and a team even the greatest of teams are worried about: the Dragon Ball FighterZ. Although maybe 2nd party, the Mayahem Jinjos have garnered new popularity thanks to Banjo and Kazooie being in Smash soon. The playoffs also gave the audience a glimpse of Dracula's Castlevania, which unfortunately lost, but might be likely be in next season's playoffs due to the collection and the Contra collection. Yes, two familiar characters will join their ranks next season. The Championship League will also house the indie-favorites Mimiga Town and New York City (aka the Avengers). By the next film, it's expected the Tatooine Jedi might be in a better place. Three to four other 3rd party franchise no one expected to be in the NBL might make their long awaited debut... that is, if the other "big leagues" allow them to be here. No doubt there is chaos taking place. Still, that's not to deny the slow decline of other popular teams that were once famous in the NBL or had amazing potential. Orange Star, Bern, Slateport City, Onett, Epoch, Hocotate, Tethealla, Goldenrod City, Nimbasa City, Lanaryu, some of which were popular than others, have stepped down in grace, and poor Laurasia, Labyrnna, Jubilife City (maybe), Lumiose City, and Valla have gotten it worse thanks to being in the reserve league now. Nearly half of those relegated have been part of series that have discontinued or lost steam. The reason why I didn't consider Neo Arcadia, Guangzhou, and Alrest is that they were lucky to be in the Premier League for as long as they were. And, there is news of a smaller team being traded off to "another universe", but again that's until the VGWBC comes into play. To counter that, smaller IPs are still being looked at. Inkopolis is one of the rising stars of the Premier League, Mute City has the shining small spark of Lt. Surge in their minds, and Tallon has a gotten a surge thanks to recent Prime news. Mekanos was recently called up thanks to King K. Rool, and I think they'll be in the Premier League for some time. Zaphias, from the Tales of Vesperia game, has some intrigue to it, like Tethealla before it. Hocotate was in the promotion playoffs, and Tortimer Island came really close to being in the Premier League. However, Arms is kind of at a stand-still. Although one of the big four, one of the Kirby teams had high hopes this season, but there was too much weight from the other series this time around. And next season will bring along more company to the NBL... which will also act as a double-edged sword for the next seasons to come. The new system has given the NBL a bit of a pro and con situation. The new influx of teams could easily overshadow those lost to time, but recent news and new games could make older teams stand out once more. About five seasons or more seasons in, currently and the landscape of the NBL has changed dramatically. Not sure if for the better... or the worse.

While that was going on in the Zelda sphere, executives from the teams in the Mushroom World gathered at the Firelowers headquarters in Mushroom Kingdom to celebrate the huge increase of teams in the region. "When this league started 15 years ago our realm had only the Watermelon Warriors as our representative in the NBL," the Watermelon Warriors owner said. "With fellow teams in MK, Sarasaland, Valley of Koopa, New Sink City and others, we are about to enter a true golden age for the Mushroom World in the NBL Premier League." He added: "All of you here don't realize it now but just think about the potential NWS appearances, the good chances for those matchups to be exclusively in our realm, and numerous opportunities to win the Miyamoto Trophy that are waiting over the horizon. The enormous clout our region has, along with our friends in the Triforce Kingdoms, will make other teams and realms green with envy as they try to beat us and could easily fail and get relegated. Our future is as bright and glorious now and we have the best chance to embrace it for a long time to come if we all cooperate on this ambitious quest to use our clout and huge media deals wisely and to our advantage." While the teams in the Mushroom World are busy celebrating, other teams and regions could easily have some problems going forward as mentioned earlier.

Results And the new controller

Here is last week's Tournament! Here's the link to the stream.

Congrats to the newly promoted teams.

Really a simpler time.

Even publications are getting in on the rumor mongering. But something tells me if Sakurai and the team were going to hint at Shantae's inclusion in Smash, it wouldn't be through her own game. As much as I want to hope. The animation is fantastic. Every single frame is beautiful and I'm loving how the angular Trigger style translates to Shantae and the crew. I would buy one of the animation cels if I could.

Interesting...game 7 of the promotion playoff finals will be held at neutral sites. It’s basically a super bowl like situation...one game, neutral field...winner goes to the Premier League.

Gang, after many months of battle (starting over a YEAR AGO), I finally have my own car back and the rust has been dealt with.

Dataminer Chrales has found something big coming. I'm spoiler tagging it, please do the same if you want to discuss it
