Day 42: Primal Groudon

In place of a witty comment, I'd just like to post these comics from the ever-so talented Protocol00

Spoiler: I forgot to censor this one

It really sums up their whole dynamic

The way I see it Kyogre is surrounded. What's under the ocean? That's right, more earth.

The way I see it Kyogre is surrounded. What's under the ocean? That's right, more earth.

But then what's in the air? Vapor. Condensation. Clouds.

Groudon's surrounded by water.

I always forget how heroes were able to get away with this type of stuff back in the day

It's honestly criminal that this gen's console controllers are worse and more expensive than ever

 

[TheMightyP]

It's honestly criminal that this gen's console controllers are worse and more expensive than ever

Yeah but companies make sweet cash by selling dog**** controllers that you gotta replace.

Where's MadCatz when you need them?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I only just realized a new Smash Ultimate tier list dropped…and my boys moved up a whole singular spot from 41 to 40…

Toby Fox recently posted this to his BlueSky. It's real, you can check for yourself.

No one knows who and/or what Pluey is.

TOBIAS FOX WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU. I CAN'T BELIVE YOU HAD THE GAUL TO ADD PLUEY TO DELTARUNE. For those unfamiliar, here is some of what Pluey has led to.

• Mass crop failures
• The new YouTube adds that are unskippable for like 15 seconds
• The extinction of at least 15 species of amphibians
• The French
• The mysterious disappearance of five school children in Elk County, Pennsylvania, in 1972
• Invention of arson

I really can't condone this. I'm livid rn.

Is the water I used to boil filtered or just straight from the tap? This makes a difference

 

[Knight Dude]

Beat the main story of Mega Man Battle Network 2, I also beat Thunderman, and got all 3 versions of Heatman. Or at least the 3 versions that I know of.

Mega Man himself dropped a banger line "Even if I can't win, I WON'T LOSE!" **** had me ready to go to war. My Goat, pour the honey on him already. Let him cook.

Also, I really feel bad for the Marvel Rivals devs, make a game that's really successful and you gut the staff? You do good, you get fired, you do bad, get fired. No winning there. Hate this dystopian future we live in cause there's no cool mech suits or flying cars to make up for the BS we deal with.

Day 20: Munchlax

I've been doing this for 20 days now?! Where's the time gone?!

Anyway Munchlax was another partner-exclusive in EOS, wonder if it'll open up to the player in a remake

This thing SCARES me. The first time I tried facing it, I didn't even KNOW about the evaporating thing. I went to face it, then ran screaming when Surf didn't work.

And this has always been one of the post-game boss fights in Rescue Team DX that freaks me out the most. Not even Steamroll makes water attacks work! This thing is a monster and they really make you work to recruit it (but it's worth it to see "Groudon moved over. Groudon moved over. Groudon moved over. Groudon moved over. Groudon moved over.")

 

[PLATINUM7]

I'm just 50 more Pokémon away from shiny Meltan.

 

[Aurane]

Just realized I can't get Ceruledge without trading for its evolution item.

Edit: wait I'm dumb I just need to trade it over to my Violet save and evolve it there.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I've now given up on expecting a Nintendo Direct this month.

Now moving all of my focus towards Pokémon Presents.

 

[Aurane]

I think my TV just died. What the ****.

Edit: gonna unplug it for an hour- see if that helps.

[SuperSonicFlyer]

You know, I would like to know those sources who told the insiders about the February Nintendo Direct happening, see if they lied or just mislead others, because it seems they were wrong.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm watching a superhero show and I cannot believe it's main villains are human trafficking alien drug dealer, crime families and the abuse they bring, human experimentation, body horror and implied cannibalism while I'm only 5 episodes in. What I also struggle to believe is that it looks like this

EDIT: NOW A GUY GOT OPERATED ON WITHOUT PROPER ANESTHETICS BY SOMEONE WHO IS NOY A QUALIFIED SURGEON WITH SOME BLOODY DETAILS WHAT THE ****

 

[Aurane]

That's exactly what happened. I was playing Scarlet, when the TV just stopped showing picture. I unplugged it and replaced it in after a half hour and nothing. So I'm off to getting a new tv.

Now I REALLY regret buying Scarlet. Because now I'm broke for the rest of the month. Fortunately I have a reserves account that should have some spare dough if I need it.

 

[Noipoi]

There should be a platypus Pokemon that looks like a Bidoof with a Psyduck face. And no one believes it’s real.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I STRONGLY hunger for an endless Pokemon Mystery Dungeon roguelike.

One infinite random dungeon, randomly-generated environments, randomly-picked enemies, random bosses, occasional missions for rewards, a treasure box without limits...

I'd never put this game down.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Alright. I just... made a bunch of lists. More importantly, I turned those lists into images. Deciding everything I would want to be in a third Nick Brawl game. Characters, stages, npcs, everything. The only things I didn't pick out were the fodder enemy characters in the campaign mode. Would like to hear people's opinions.

Also, this doesn't fit in anywhere else, but while I'd love to keep on Ludocity and Fair Play Labs as developers, Game Mill has got to go. Give it to someone who'd be willing to spend more money on it to make it truly grand.

Spoiler

The red outline indicates that character/stage is DLC.

Spoiler: Assist Partners

While in battle mode these characters function like smash's assist trophies, in campaign mode they function like MK1/MvC1 assist characters. You can pick one from a menu to pair up with and can summon them when a meter fills up to a certain percent, they leave when the meter goes back to zero. Training with them in the hub will unlock more of their abilities and increase the size if their meter.

Would definitely like suggestions for more of these.

Spoiler: Story

Set a nebulous amount of time after the events of both Nick Brawl 2 and the Nicktoons Unite Games. The Mawgu, from Battle for Volcano Island, has been brought to the Timeless Stardial by an unknown entity and is using it, his mind control ooze, and the remains of Vlad's machine from 2, to spread his corruption across the entire multiverse. Clockwork and the Wise Old Crab gather the four main Nicktoons from Unite (SpongeBob, Danny, Timmy, and Jimmy) on Volcano Island to fight back and free everyone who has been corrupted and scattered. Their old enemies, The Evil Syndicate (with some new members), are also attempting to fight back against The Mawgu in their own way and clash with the heroes before eventually joining forces. Camp Castaway from Volcano Island is the hub area. While there are 5 possible areas to visit on your way to the final boss in the campaign, you still only visit three in each run. The first two are randomized, but the final one is always "The Rift". After defeating The Mawgu it is revealed that The Evil Demon from "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" is the entity that brought The Mawgu to the Stardial and you need to find and confront him as well.

Spoiler: NPCs

The campaign mode, following the mold of 2's campaign, will feature npcs that fulfill various functions. I've labeled what they do in the image

Spoiler: Guide

Row 1: Clockwork, Wise Old Crab, Gary, Nora Wakeman, Gaz Membrane, Master Splinter, Uncle Iroh, Gerald Johanssen
Row 2: Cabbage Merchant, Jorgan von Strangle, Mrs. Puff, Dib Membrane, Hugh Neutron, Hologram Janeway, Heckle & Jeckle, Chadbot

Like in 2, the boss you fight in each zone is randomly selected between the two options available for that zone.

Spoiler: Guide

Row 1: The Flying Dutchman, Vicky Viper-boy, Sartana de los Muertos, Nikolai Technus, The Mawgu
Row 2: Fire Lord Ozai, Verminious Snaptrap, Super Shredder, Bolypius, The Evil Demon

Notes

Row 7 (DLC): Barnyard Party, The Hive, Extradimensional Edo, Holodeck Breakdown, ChalkZone, Clamburg, What The Heck Is That!?!, Jade Palace, Curbside, Planet Namek

Notes

• What The Heck Is That!?! is based on the second Dr. Blowhole episode of Penguins where, thanks to a series of unfortunate events, a giant evil MP3 Player has put a dome over the Central Park Zoo and forces everyone to sing. The stage name comes from the name of the first song in the episode where the monster emerges.
• Curbside is based on the rejected Curbside pilot. If it had been picked up it would have been Terrytoons' major presence on the network, so I'm using it here. Yes, Paramount/Nickelodeon owns the Terrytoons.

I hope this was readable

Oh ny god, thats the same exact thing that happend to me. I was playing a game and I saw something poof out (it probably was smoke from it shorting out), the screen went black, unpluged it like you and bam, nothing.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard a story of someone's TV dying like that I'd have to which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

 

[Z25]

Saw this and it’s definitely fake;

Tying sleep into a Unova game would be genius. It also reminds me how much I would love the dream world mini games to return.

I always enjoyed logging onto my computer to connect the games and do al the mini games. It was really cool to be able to send Pokemon from the dream world to the games.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I made logo-inspired fossils. One...kinda ended up better than the other.

Here's one based on the historic depiction of the Dilophosaurus - a frilled, poison-spitting dino. Yeah, I know it likely wasn't like this in history, but I really wanted a poison-type fossil and this'd be the best option. The logo-theming comes from the Lean-M logo, which is themed after heart monitors. I failed pretty hard at showing that, though, and ultimately it just looks like a dino with funny markings. Oops.

This one, I think, looks a lot nicer. It's based on that old Chiller Films logo, which featured a dreamcatcher as a defining feature. I know we've had a Rock/Ice fossil before, but for this one, I wanted to go for what rock/ice types SHOULD be - frail but offensive speed demons that are all about dealing big hits with their type coverage before cutting out of there (still gets walled horribly by Steel though...pls nerf it Gamefreak). You can probably tell it's based on Dromeaosaurus, one of the most iconic raptor dinosaurs. It even has some floofiness to keep it warm!

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man finished season 1 today, and I gotta say…

Top 3 Spider-Man series already (if it manages to surpasse 94 and especially Spectacular, then I would be beyond satisfied)

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Hi, it's Paul! Made another Logo-Pokemon for the iconic logo from Jimmy Neutron.

This was an easy sell for me. Paul is a mascot for a company named DNA Productions (Deoxys, anyone?) AND he has a third eye. That was just BEGGING for a psychic type.

I know chimpanzees don't have tails, but the temptation to give him a DNA strand tail was way too strong.

It doesn't feel right to already be hearing rumors of a Metroid Prime 5 when we are still waiting to hear anything about rereleases for 2 & 3.

I don't think I'm ready for the next several months in this thread after the Presents airs.

Jokes aside, it would be really cool if that one "leak" claiming that a classic collection would be revealed came true

Smash is coming. Dread it, run from it, speculation comes all the same. It is inevitable.

Yep, 5. Rumor says launching in 2027 according to Nash Weedle.
