Maybe one day we'll see the CW PPG pilot resurface.

Yeah they recorded that as well before it got canned.

Also yeah the trailer was turbo ass but it's a CW show so it is what it is.

Ya know as neat as Pokemon Champions looks to be, I'm really concerned of how chaotic a metagame featuring Megas, Terastalization, and presumably Z-moves will be. It just seems so...unpredictable.

I'm sure their will be formats only featuring some of them, but hopefully they make open team sheets an ingame feature.

What exactly is Champions anyway? Is it basically just a battle sim?

The commerical made it seem like a spiritual successor to the Stadium Series. They also said you can transfer pokemon from Home.

They'll probably have a way to obtain pokemon in game or something, like rentals probably, but the main focus is probably going to be on pokemon you've transferred from other games.

There almost certainly not going to be an EV slider or anything like that. But maybe it'll have vitamins.

It might help to watch some Smogon National Dex videos from a few months ago when it was all legal at the same time (Tera recently got banned). I'm honestly pretty excited to see the chaos unfold as a spectator rather than a competitor.

Been training up Houndoom for the 6th member slot for Kanto in Soul Silver. I haven't bothered to do any of the Kanto Gyms yet nor many of the trainers. But getting him closer to the rest of the group doesn't feel like nearly as a hassle as OG Silver. I know you should be able to re-match Gym leaders though, so when I do that, I should be able to deal with Red's powered up team.

I randomly got a Shiny Gravler during my training him up. Again, I wish these games got proper re-releases. So now with him and Gyarados that's not too bad.

Still, in the OG Silver, having my Heracross OHKO Red's Snorlax was pretty peak. Typhlosion also cooked his Pikachu and Charizard. Ampharos cooked Blastoise, Crobat cooked Venasaur, and Houndoom, despite being the weakest member, took care of Espeon. Poliwrath almost got Charizard, so I wonder if he'll do better this time around.

Day 7: Witch on the Holy Night

Now for a game only 3 people here played tops! Despite Fate Stay Night and Tsukihime being infamously more... Let's say 'spicy' in terms of content, Witch on the Holy Night is actually surprisingly chill when it comes to The Horrors. Don't get me wrong, Bad Things still happen, but this game is pretty lighthearted and doesn't make you go "Oh my god what the ****". It's my first Type Moon game and the cast is genuinely really fun, be it countryside bumble**** Sizuki who's dumb of ass yet pure of heart, Aoko who is the funniest character I've seen in a while and Alice Kuonji, the quiet mage who has fairy tale magics. Literally! Despite the more casual slice of life story, whenever there's a fight scene, it still kicks ass too which is all I can ask for. The production values on this are shockingly good for the genre I feel and I think it's well worth giving a shot regardless if you're usually a fan of these kinds of games. Switch version is more than playable, but I happen to know the Steam version is currently on sale, do give this a try, I had a wonderful time and hopefully others here will too! Fair warning though, there's accidental cat death right at the beginning, one of my partners warned me about this ahead of time and I do think it's worth pointing out.

Hey there, for those who care, here are some Sonic gameplay ideas I came up with.

1. Dash Ramps on Walls and Ceilings: This has those red dash ramps on walls and ceilings, and they are usually at their edge and can point in different directions. Either way, this could help with getting to certain routes easier.

2. Brake Jump: When Sonic does a brake to slow down, the moment he does, so, the player can then press a button make Sonic jump higher than normal, to reach higher places.

3. Skid Jump: This ties in to another idea of mine from earlier. When Sonic skids sideways while facing a perpendicular direction when running, when the player presses a button, he will jump in that direction really far. Watch from 0:08 here.

Sonic X-treme - Tiara B Gameplay Demo

A demonstration of Tiara B's gameplay loop for Sonic X-treme. Converted to MP4 video from Chris Senn's original GIF animations.
www.sonicstadium.org www.sonicstadium.org

It is kind of like that. It can be used in 3D or 2D. This can make platforming in perpendicular directions much easier.

4. Diagonal Plane Switching. In some areas in 2D places, Sonic can take ramps that extend diagonally, either by doing a sharp turn (normally with the Drift) or merging onto the diagonal ramp by pressing up or down when running. Sonic can not only reach other 2D planes to run on, but depending on his speed, he can either reach areas in between or fall in bottomless pits.

5. Accumulative Spin Dash: Look at the beginning of here.

- YouTube

www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

Notice how Sonic Spin Dashes to become a giant snowball. Well, with a Sonic Adventure styled upgrade, Sonic can do this on any terrain or collection of items that are nearby, allowing him to take on the form of whatever is near Sonic in spherical form. Just like with Namco Bandai's Katamari games, Sonic can roll with these items around him, acting as a bowling ball that can destroy tough targets.

6. Different Starting Points: Look at this.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

At the beginning, the playable character is at a different starting from the one at 3:49, which is the usual starting point of the level. With this, Sonic can find means, like an alternate goal, a hidden spring or something else, usually near the end of the Act, that will lead him to different starting points and new sections of 2D or 3D levels. Heck! In the boss act, Sonic might fight a different version of the boss through these methods!

7: Back and Forth 2D. Now look at this at 4:23 to 6:09.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

Notice the curving paths and changes in directions. Well, this idea would work like that but with the classic camera, meaning no changing camera angles, and Sonic would go back and forth on whatever curvy or zigzag-like path he is on and more, looking like this at 0:32 to 0:34.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

To me, this would make for a really nice 3D effect.

8. Reduced Angles: Now, look at this


This, along with other round shapes, would be harder to run around properly in 3D, but what if there were lines Sonic could run on while moving on these shapes, like the one on the sphere in the image? There would be a number of line which Sonic can move to by Quick Stepping onto them. Sonic can still run on these structures without the lines, but by running on these, Sonic can then more easily jump off off of them or onto nearby roads to alternate routes. These would be hard to get onto without the lines.

So, what do you all think?

Okay, the accumulative spin dash idea is AWESOME. As someone who really enjoyed that particular level in Lost World (aside from those red rings...) it's really cool to see something similar as a move idea. You rock dude :yoshi:

The thing that kills me is that I know they spawn.... around water.


I'm as land locked as you can get. There's no body of water here for miles.

I think part of the reason I believe so much that Zeena really isn't that bad of a person when she's not following Zavok's big 'drain the world' plans is a line from Frozen Factory Act 4 where she says "All I want is to do is chill". And maybe I shouldn't go believing every word she says, but given her fixation on just doing her nail art and other fashion-stuff, and the fact Zavok had to prod her into her first attack on Sonic...she just feels like someone who doesn't really want to fight. Some official media states she has a 'fierce temper', but honestly I never got that vibe either - she seemed relatively laid-back in general and only really got mad at Sonic because he turned an apology into a pretty meanspirited joke.

Maybe I'm putting entirely too much character analysis into this considering she's meant to simply be one of Zavok's silly subordinates, but these are just the vibes I've picked up from her.

Hey, when you've got a favorite character of all time, you're gonna wanna look into them as much as you can.

So I saw a few people doing their 10 Most Wanted Demons in SMT and I thought it'd be a fun exercise to try my hand in. I had a lot of fun doing Daily Demon Showcases a few years ago so I might do more of this in the future.

  1. Entity Vainamöinen: A demigod in the Finnish epic Kalavela, he's said to be born as an old man and shapes the world with his magical singing voice. I just think we need more cool old men in Megaten.
  2. Jirae Kokopelli: A fertility god in various Native American cultures, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player with antennas.
  3. Genma Reprobus: aka Saint Christopher, the dog-headed, giant saint who is most known for carrying a young Jesus Christ across a river. Christian demons are usually angels or devils so I think he'd be a nice change of pace.
  4. Fairy Snegurochka: A girl made of snow in Russian fairy tales and a common part of Christmas celebrations. Although she's a quite recent character, I think she'd made for a fun demon with entertaining interactions with Jack Frost.
  5. Deity Khepri: The scarab sun god of ancient Egyptians. There are alredy quite a few solar deities but he could differentiate himself by being, you know, a huge bug. Egyptian mythology deserves more love in Megaten.
  6. Snake Yig: A Great Old One in Cthulhu Mythos, a snake god who first appears in the story The Curse of Yig. He's a capricious god but respects people who takes care of his children. Not the biggest fan of Lovecraft stuff in Megaten, his in-universe syncretism with Quetzalcoatl would be interesting to explore.
  7. Femma Biondetta: Another literary character, a feminine form Beelzebub takes in the novel Devil in love. I talked about her before - she's character that could add some more depth to a popular demon beyond the usual Baal connection.
  8. Brute Gorozaemon: A lord of demons who appears in the Edo period story collection Ino Mononoke Roku and sometimes said to lead the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. I can see him a quest giving demon that pits the protag against a gauntlet of demons.
  9. Wilder Cipactli: A caiman-like primordial sea monster in Aztec mythology whose body is used to create the world. More kaiju-esque demons is always fun and I can see it having a pretty unique design.
  10. Megami Yemoja: The mother of all divine spirits and humans, as well as the patron spirit of water in Yoruba mythology. African figures are still under-represented and it'd be nice to have a water goddess who is actually a mother figure in her lore (looking at you Anahita).

Got bored. Drew some Pokemon :nifty:

ZA prediction wip.png


-Meganium is now a snooty, aristocratic Fairy type. The oppressive aroma that emanates from its flower makes people and Pokemon want to submit to its whims. It has a very high opinion of itself.

-Emboar swaps it's fighting type for the Steel type. Its sturdy armor can withstand any attack, and keeps its blazing energy from spilling out. It's a bit of a loner.

-Feraligatr becomes a laid-back Poison type. Its constantly secreting slippery, toxic oils from it's scales, which it uses to surf and slide through the sewers of Kalos. Its bite is also incredibly venomous.

You made Feraligatr into a surfer dude. I love everything about this idea. I NEED IT.

Though I love all of these! Love the motif of the flower on Meganium and the knight armor-like appearance on Emboar

I'm surprised they moved Suicune so late into Soul Silver. Got I got that whole trio now. Houndoom is pretty much near the same level as the rest of the team.

Took 2~ hours but I finally found a shiny Fuecoco, and had enough candies to evolve it all the way.


....now I have not one, but TWO perma-missions asking me to catch a Ditto.


Gee I'd love to game but I need a Ditto to spawn in the first place

I’m sure you’ve seen the list, but if not, here’s the very small amount of Pokémon ditto can be right now:
