@Vanya Except he didn't make a such thing.. hence why we're discussing a random tumblr user's hypothesis.

@Zombie_Barioth That is not a timeline if only two or 4 games in the main series are sequels (1 not counting versions). Every game has to be linked somehow or another, and that is not the case. Heck, the idea of certain legendaries being recaught justifies a nonexsistant timeline on it's own. Again, each region pretty much does it's own, noncanon thing. ORAS especially since we know for a fact in GBA primals and megas were nonexsistant to the player, the aqua/magma leaders, everyone.. while you can bring up "Oh, they just didn't make them yet" the point still remains that if ORAS is appost to be real deal in a timeline then mega evolution was a thing far before DPP, which it definitly was not. Johto is in a similar boat, we know for a fact the legendaries found there are not really johto.. what are the odds that kyogre is asleep in hoenn and is awake in johto? Slim to none at all.. just thrown in there for the game ignoring it's true origin.

Now everybody needs to stop saying there is an offical timeline and realize that each new installment is as uncanon to one another as pokepark. Unless somebody links something that an offical website says then they need to stop believing what they read.

There is no timeline for pokemon. Each RPG is a story about a different player in a different region, with different adventures, and different.. everything. While the legend of zelda DOES have a timeline, which is primarly based on "If this happened, then these games occur", pokemon does not have anything like that as there are no prequels, sequals, or heck parral universes intended.

It's pretty much just new fresh installments each time, it's for the sake of entertainment and just that. They do throw in some canon connections, I believe BW2 takes place a few years after BW or something like that but it's minor at best.

The irony when the guy with a flygon gives you the garchomp mega stone..

@invictus4000 Basicly a pokepark where you can play as any pokemon and with online features?

Yes plz.

@DanteSolablood How would it infect your game? I don't understand the logic in that.

But yeah ever since the most recent update in pokemon x/y you cannot use any hackmons or unreleased pokemon online in trades or battles. Before you could use them against passerbys and friends atleast, and I can say during the time I had volcanion and hoopa in battle, they're not that good at all.. pretty lackluster as a matter of fact.

It appears this update carried over to oras as well.

I have volcanion

You can get him via powersaves on x/y and just bank him over the ORAS. I don't see anything particularly new eventwise with him besides the forementioned.

@ZenTurtle Prison bottle is so far the only hacked key item known. It is used to change hoopa's forme. In X/Y we had all the unreleased items that aren't normally available due to no item bank.. (cusap berry for example) and we had access to latiosite and latiasite which were entirely new items never released until oras.

And no volcanion and hoopa cannot be used over wifi so do not ask.

Inb4 it's hand made by the seller.

What were they thinking with link?!?!

Our research in each part of the world commonly indicates that consumers between the age of 18 and 25 represent a large percentage of those who purchased “Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS” in the release period. It is approximately 30 percent in Japan, which is twice the overall average of Nintendo 3DS software, and has even reached 50 percent in the U.S. and Europe.

Or maybe parents buying them for their children?

It just wouldn't feel right if this was a zelda title. It'd be really weird looking..

FYI LINK CAN SIDE JUMP!

Every guy is going to create an alt if they have to inorder to vote the last image.

Notice me senpai!
_{Doesn't even have a clue who that is..}

@Azooooz It's more of a psychological game.. You're rushing the whole time you do it. For example you gotta beat this or that temple withen the (in-game) 3 days if you want to progress. Afterward you play the song of time and it resets everything back to dawn of the first day, (including all the depressing tragedies you fixed..) while keeping the items you need to progress to the next area.

So for example.. you save that monkey's life in the first three days, get to move on, but then you have to go back in time to move to the next area.. this time the monkey has no one to save him as you're saving somebody else..

Very depressing and dark.

Inb4 those 15 don't have streetpass enabled..

I'm not really the type to get excited for new games I never tried yet (S.T.E.A.M., Splatoon) and MM was more or less just a "That was a good move" sorta thing rather than a hype inducing thing for me. (Especially since I already played it)

To say the least there was nothing that made me go crazy like a new metroid reveal or something would've.

TL;DR Nothing surprised me 4/10 just for majora's mask.

@Dipper723

@DiscoGentleman

Probably isn't, but honestly why would they take action for it anyway? Sure it's wrong but it's not nessecarly claiming it's their pieces with their own name without nintendo's involvement.

That face reminds me of something..

Aw so adorible..

Makes me feel even better when they are shot by man-at-legs

_{I'm a sick person}

@Porky Which one was first in brawl and smash 4? Lucario, they were never in the same game together and while lucario had a very similar moveset he's not really a clone to something nonexistant in the game. Sure he was in melee but lucario replaced him rather than being a clone in the same game.

In this one however, I fear with as many clones as we already have, and the similarites between the two between the games they were found in, mewtwo will likely just be a buffed up verison of lucario, if not exactly the same simliar to pit and dark pit/mario and dr. mario.

YAY!!!... another clone..

I don't think there will be a big difference between lucario and mewtwo.. except one being more awesome and stronger than the other..

Ridley tho.

@Gridatttack

All giratina-origin triples battle. Framerate is nearly nonexsistant.

Ice type pac-man is all that comes to mind with M-Glalie

Mega evolution adds alot more versitility to the games IMO.. the pokemon getting the megas are still useless in their base forms and stuck in their lower tiers, but making a mega evolution is almost like making a new pokemon entirely mixing up the strategies and usage. Sure mega skhan was just annoying but we got plenty of new toys to scare that thing now (gallade)

While the stats are scary people tend to forget that they cannot hold an item which nerfs them slightly.

The main issue is the lack of teambuilding.. all teams look similar. Azumaril, landorus, and garchomp are on probably 99% of all competitive teams.. litteraly I seen the same core on showdown in 5 different battles IN A ROW! _{I recall masuda saying he picks pokemon used alot online to justify whether or not it gets a mega.. I'll be extremely upset to see landorus and azumaril to get a mega when they're just flat out the only things good to run rather than people actually caring about them.}

Mega evolution has nothing to do with that, but it does have to do with breaking it since new megas means more threats to break the core and more options in team building. It's just a matter of which pokemon get those megas.. now the obviously broken ones, those are gone to ubers so I could care less if arceus got a mega.. unless there is a "roster limit" type thing where they goal to only make a certain % of mega evolutions. However I'm extremely thrilled to see steelix getting a mega, and I actually called glalie from the start. Not that I care for the pokemon themselve but they're what I'd like to see getting megas over garchomp, dragonite, etc.

Now I just need mega flygon and I'll be happy. Tropius and chimecho would've been good pokemon to give megas as well not that I really care too much for them.

Hopefully the data found in the demos was inaccurate..

Still in development? I hope the bug testing team isn't on vacation.. that usually ends badly (like it did already for smash 3ds.)

@3dcaleb oh, I misunderstood because the site was on maintence earlier.

wait wait wait.. if the site is down until the 21st.. and you have to be signed up to their newsletter on site by the 20th for the oras demo then.. O.O

Good thing I signed up early..

Incase nobody noticed it's under "Games & more" if you look at the screenshot. Only thing we're missing from brawl is boss battles but we only have those two.. maybe it will have us fight master hand or crazy hand whenever we want or something like smash run with just bosses and them two at the end.

It isn't classic mode.

Does anybody not remember how they handled this in the past?

For example.. diamond, pearl, and then platinum and HGSS..

If you were using a rotom-wash in platinum, versus a player playing diamond/pearl, on their screen it would just look like a normal rotom.

It could likely be the same here.. the megas are there just their models won't be shown in x/y or their stones traded.

@TrueWiiMaster

Just america.

You also have to make sure your spam doesn't reconize the pokemon newsletters.

Exactly why we have cloners and powersaves.

@Lasermaster123

28 in x/y (not counting latis)

18 in ORAS (counting latis)

46 mega evolutions total, and 2 primals.

AAARGH is beedrillite going to be in ruby or sapphire? Great! Now I'm more pressured with deciding if I preordered the right game!

@Hydrone I'm going by x/y logic. We recieved 30 megas in pokemon x/y (28 not counting the hidden eons)

that being said.. so far we got 16 megas (18 counting the eons..) we could potentially have only 12-14 more megas left in the games.. and audino I'm 100% sure won't be the only unova mega.

Don't get me wrong.. i am THRILLED with mega beedrill, as long as he gets 40+ in speed and 60+ in atk he'll be super amazing, but pigeot I'm not too thrilled about consituring we have another regional bird/s actually in hoenn (who i wouldn't really care much about anyway) that should've recieved it prior to these. Hoenn should be their priority not kanto.. johto, sinnoh, maybe a little unova, and no kalos until the kalos remakes.

and we can assume butterfree is getting a mega as well however that would even work out with a sash reliant quiver dancer.

However you're right we don't know for sure.. they may expand the ammount of megas. All I know is they better no forget that this is the hoenn region and leave out well deserved megas like flygon.

Serebi just confirmed pigeot is getting a boost to it's Special and beedrill is getting a boost in Atk/Speed

8 Player smash?

Inb4 ike kills everybody at once with final smash

Hmmm....

Mega beedrill now.. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE! Buffing extremely underappreciated pokemon! I've always said to myself.. "I'd want a mega beedrill but it's just one of those lame bug types at the start of the game i doubt they'll go that far." Instead they actually pull it off...

HOWEVER.. I'm disappointed about mega beedrill's appearence right now because we need alot of pokemon in the hoenn region like flygon, tropius, etc to get some love... I love this thing but it just wasn't a smart move in the long run.. (I doubt after oras we'll be getting hoenn megas in other games like z/xy2)

Also the sad thing is the fact no matter what boost the mega evolution gives.. he will still have 70 or something base speed the turn he megas, be frail, and probably end up dead switching into something. Doesn't have priority.

252+ Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Beedrill: 241-285 (88.9 - 105.1%) — 31.3% chance to OHKO
Mega pigeot: I was never a fan of giving regional birds megas either and pigeot of all them definitly wasn't a smart move when we have hoenn birds. No guard is very useless.. I know people are mentioning hurricane but it's too reliant on hax to get the confusion as flying/normal isn't the best offensive coverage. If it got gale wings, different story.

Mega lati@s: Not much for me to say consituring I have these already in x/y. It was only a matter of time before revealed.

All their designs are really cool! Love beedrill's! (Kinda looks like escavalier IMO) and while I don't really care for pigeot itself.. it's mega is cool looking too I guess. Mega lati@s I always like just was hoping they'd recolor them at the very least.

I hope they give us a mega ariados just to give the guy some love as well.. not in oras though. I just want to see mega flygon at this point and i'll be happy.. but they need to focus on things like chimecho, tropius, flygon, walrein, wailord, glalie, etc etc..

@hikingmudkip6

Unless they mention the US withen the week.. everybody else is getting the demo on the 15th-16th.

http://www.serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/demo.shtml

What a crime shame.. basicly we're just buying an adapter for 1 game and 1 game only.. when we already have another verison that doesn't need anything at all (and we all own it!)

Smash bros. are not going to do much for the wii u as hoped for it seems. I'll just be happy with my 3ds verison which won't need an adapter to play. Smash bros. was always better played with the NGC controller due to better grip and control layouts.

@ThomasBW84

I think dark pit only needs classic mode beaten three times and you can unlock duck hunt by beating classic mode at any difficultly 8 times, and beat classic 10 times for Game & Watch.

Dr. mario is also unlocked by beating classic mode with mario. Ganondorf is unlocked by beating classic mode as link.

This is how I unlocked these characters.

@Zombie_Barioth

Not exactly, rayquaza has four of those horn like things around his neck. The bottom two form the shape of the delta symbol Δ, which seems appropriate seeing his ability is delta stream and alpha/omega is the games' names. (Also lower case delta 𝛿 resembles the streamers or whatever those transperant orange things are) They're not mandibles like giratina-O. Infact they appear motionless.

It's design is so freaking awesome! I was always against giving already good pokemon like legendaries mega evolutions (or even primals) from the start, but this one just looks so amazing..

As long as flygon is given a mega I'll be happy. I'm very reliefed that primal kyorge/groudon will be less abused thanks to this. Doesn't appear to be much stronger than regular rayquaza with life orb, just gotta worry about that bulk..

@Gameday Only if you were making and selling them. This is something you bought and you modified yourself.

I might actually try this. I don't know when but If I ever find a very cheap or never used 3ds I'm going to give it a go.

I just don't know how I'd get all those microchips and such.. never understood how those are made

My only problem is.. is it nessecary? I would find that unconfortable looking down at a smal 3ds screen making a full play through of OOT.

Super Smash Warriors

_{hopefully without the return of jigglypuff}

"we're looking for the best fighter"

everybody plays as the same character..

Wii u and wii ain't got anything on this..

Gamecube was HANDS.. DOWN.. the best system ever! Don't know what it was, maybe the games were just more interesting or fun or something.. but to this day alot of use find ourselves popping NGC disc in our wiis or old gamecubes. If I remember correctly.. I reach over 600 days on pikmin 2 on one save.. and made quite a few replays on the others. Metroid prime 1 and 2 were awesome games that current metroid games can't seem to live up to. Ty the tasmanian tiger was a very underapreciated EA game for the NGC (and the other consoles I think) that was surprisingly addicting too.

Oh.. and how could I forget my very first pokemon game colloseum? AWESOME.

Next up, Live streaming super smash bros. 3DS..

FROM SPAAAAAAAACE!!!
