Re: Talking Point: It's Not Too Late for Nintendo to Join the Minecraft Party

Araquanid

The problem I see with this is who would buy it.. alot of people prefer the PC version for better content and access to everything (mods, custom skins,) while on xbox you have friends you can play with. It's easier to make friends and communicate on an xbox then hunting for them on the wii u without any communication..

Xbox- "Hey guys is there a creeper outside?", "Yep"

Wii U- "Where is everybody? Can you give me the position on your map?" ,"....."

Xbox- "Guys I'm hungry you got food?", "sure"

Wii U- "HELP I'M STARVING! punch", "OW WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM... kills starving friend"

PC+skype/ingame text, Xbox+headset, all works perfectly.. but the wii u would be a more single player experience for players..

Plus.. minecraft this, minecraft that.. I don't hate the game I occasionally play the xbox version (pc crashed computer from lag) but it rules the world/internet already appearing so many times. Give it a break much? People will just buy minecraft for their wii u.. be too occupied.. and ignore nintendo's other products.

Re: Round Table: Let's Discuss Our Hopes and Dreams for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

Araquanid

I'd enjoy the first pokemon in your party (or better yet pick so you're not forced to lead with it in battle or switch before battle..) mechanic from HG/SS to return.. and with the departer of wi-fi soon we really would appreciate move tutors.. especially for the new gen mons like clawitzer getting shell smash and such. (hopefully), Move tutors would probably force players to go buy the game whether they wanted it or not just for their x/y games.

The mega eons I already have.. both as a matter of fact as well as diancie.. but hoenn remakes.. generation of the eons.. without a doubt the stones should be somewhere in there. Diancie event isn't far from being released in japan so july to november isn't that far away of a new offically announced pokemon/mega being revealed... then I can finally trade them to my other poke X copy and actually get to save battle videos with them.. point is I'm expecting the stones in these games somewhere rather than an event which would be splendid!

Don't forget.. gen 3 is when the wonder troll was born.. No ghost type E4 shedinja users.. as awesome as it sounds that might seriously cause problems for people (anybody else get walled by the psychic inver's?).

New wi-fi battle design rather than that grid.. we need more elementle looking stages like BW2

Minor thought.. but maybe have the pokemon and their trainers visible during battle much like in battle revolution and colloseum where the trainers were shown giving commandments and comparing size with their pokemon... it'd be a nice touch, especially consituring x/y is huge on fashion with customizing your characters, other than the intro of the battle it'd be nice to see the trainers in full 3D effect during battle... also get to see them mega evolve with that animation during wi-fi battles would really give a nostalgic feel to the game... and an option to disable having to view them for the few who complain about it.

I forget the name but we need whatever item in gen 4 aloud us to rematch trainers back.. as well as somewhere you can battle high leveled trainers, with random teams made on a daily basis like those sports stadiums in BW while still gaining Exp.. I'm getting bored and annoyed with the restruants already.. nothing new each time..

Maybe an AI test chamber were, similar to battle revolution you can make your own and opponent's teams to test out before any offical use... since showdown is kinda stealing pokemon away from gamefreak and most of the content (from other users..) are very immature.. it'd be nice to give showdown users a good reason to stick around on the real thing rather than a custom made similator..

Gametype change for battles as well? Make your own rules whether it's limiting only 5 pokemon.. the time limit.. banning certain pokemon which would solve alot of problems for those complaining about legendary users.. even OU ones.. would be splendid!

DLC would be great but I'm already downed about it. Masuda clearly stated in the past he wants all pokemon games to be sold as a whole rather than an imcomplete game with an extra 10 dollars for DLC and such that many might not be able to get. He also said he sees all main selling games (like x/y) to be played on a handheld and not the wii u (which would be AWESOME! battle revolution in HD graphics.. have the bottom screen of move selection and such on the gamepad and the battle going on the tv screen.)

Re: Unique Vivillon Distribution Confirmed for Paris Pokémon Center

Araquanid

One problem.. You cannot breed this thing or get the guarenteed nature. The egg generated will instantly become your type of vivillon instead of this one.. and since this is event only there is no single person in the world who can breed competitive ones to give out.

If lucky maybe one person will use the vivillon wonder card on their powersaves or from here and might even eventually get a perfect one.. which can be cloned and passed around... who ever has time for something like that..

I believe I may be able to get one.

Re: Talking Point: For Better Or For Worse, The Wii U GamePad Is Here To Stay

Araquanid

Let me say one thing.. "Innovation"

That's the key to what most gamers like, some kind of twist to a new game or console from it's previous family member. However it may work for better.. or for worse.. you can have a good idea, and successfully make it, but it depends on who wants it.. and who even needs it.

Microsoft certainly did innovate with the kinect. It was a creative idea that no body else thought of and it worked accordingly. The technology was outstanding, and it definitly put pressure on other companies competing for technology.. however.. thing is.. it sucked. Kinect was technology you'd picture in 100 years later from now.. microsoft succeeded in doing that now, but no body enjoyed it.. no body liked it.. nobody needed it.. it was a pain to use.. I don't know about you guys but I think it's easier to push a button then yell "Xbox! Do this.. Xbox, do that!.. Xbox, turn off before parents see!"

In that case innovation was there beyond genius minds but the appeal of it afterward failed miserably. Just cause you think the technology is out of this world doesn't mean it's enjoyable. That's what we want.. innovative work, and enjoyment out of it.

Nintendo on the other hand did make enjoyable innovations.. I'll have to throw a quick nit pick at the 3ds where they tried too hard with innovation on the 3D feature which nobody likes (seizure warning). It was something unnessecary and boring yet genius. The standard graphics change to the system was enough.

Nintendo was the first to create handhelds.. big hit! Nintendo was the first to create motion controls.. big hit that later other companies copied. Both these ideas were made and blown our minds with how they pulled off the technology.. and yet they were still fun, entertaining.. ah heck who am I kidding, they're amazingly addicting!

The wii u was a stretch.. they kinda did it all and they were scared of making the same mistake microsoft did. They wanted to innovate without disappointing people at the same time. They hoped of making a successful console again by combining their two biggest acheivements, a wii with motion controls, AND a handheld with improved graphics and HD. Good innovation when you think about it.. despite how easy a 6 year old could come up with the same idea.. it works splendid!

However I'm still satisfied with the wii u. Unforunantly.. this is the generation of the world where anybody ages 4 and up are usually on COD or something else for bragging rights and to show off or get even with friends.. joke is they'll rant about other gaming companies when they never played them or for that matter a game made by them and no outsiders like EA and such. I'm sure almost everybody on NL read me saying this by now.. blood and gore isn't a game.. innovation and enjoyment is.

The wii u, IMO, is a huge success, just now is not a good time for it as too many people are involved in the other direction.. xbox one and ps4 were released right around the corner. If the wii u was made years earlier.. without a doubt it'd have just as many or more sales then the wii.

I'm glad the wii u gamepad is staying. You don't HAVE to use it either if you don't like it (atleast hopefully for most games). And what difference does it make anyway.. I find it convienant using for quick access to things like wind waker HD and such.. alot easier than the GC verison.. it's no different than a pro controller with a touch screen in the middle.

Re: Several New Pokémon Online Competitions Announced

Araquanid

Fairy types only in the one competition? Well guess I should finish my mawile so I can just spam iron head... and make a HP poison gardevoir if that's the case.

I really think that's a bad idea.. there is only a couple viable fairy types and not that many options to choose from.. everything will more than likely be special walls as the only physical threat is mawile which we all know will be on 99.9% of all teams for steel type.

Azumaril, gardevoir, mawile, sylveon, grumbull, jigglypuff, wigglytuff, togekiss, slurpuff, aromotiss (spelling?), florge's line, that pichu ripoff.. and tbh honest that's all I can think of as far as all the fairy types in the game.. I can't even think of more than three different strategies.. either mawile sweep with wish/heal bell support with sylveon and the two fairies that need traded.. or gardevoir sweep... or just annoy the entire world with possibily the cheapest method of winning in the form of paraflinching everything with togekiss..

For the ghost type one.. atleast you have plenty of ghost types and many ways to attack each other.. fairies, nothing fairy can stop gardevoir.. or paraflinch togekiss for that matter. Hidden power fire gardevoir murders mawile.

@Angelic_Lapras_King

On a more serious note yes it was entertaining despite how off topic the whole program was torwards what we were looking for..

But aside from that.. from a more serious perspective the whole hype of it was disappointing when the results came.. majorly disappointing..

Re: First Footage of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire To Air In Japan This Weekend

@Zombie_Barioth

Haters gunna hate!

Whenever we have 1000+ pokemon.. no matter how long the fanchise goes thing is every new addition affects the metagame or increases strategies.. etc etc..

In gen 1-4 things were pretty steady and new moves were added which changed battling. Then black and white added major changes with hidden abilities, moves, and extremely interesting and usefull pokemon we overlook. Gen 6 didn't have much to offer with their 69 new pokemon.. but they introduced alot of new game mechanics and alot of other threats dominating and changing the meta game like gale wings and aegislash as well as mega evolving at any time. A remake of these games would only enhance even MORE changes with move tutors (if there are any) and more mega evolutions(again if there are any..) and who knows what else gameplay wise will be changed.

Pokemon isn't a story line changing game each time.. each and everything little change completely impact the strategy.. picture it as chess! if chess had 6 generations.. I'm pretty sure it's be extremely different than gen 1 with every new piece and strategy made despite the similar gameplay.

A cod game simply make one gun which is as usefull as all the others.. not perticularly nessecary nor most likely wanted.. and they just remake the campaign.. pokemon likes to try something new whether it's a small mechanic or change of scenery.

Blood, gore, and graphics isn't an on going successful franchise.. good innovation is.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Confirmed For Worldwide 3DS Launch in November

@Zombie_Barioth

The way I see it, they may not be transferable.. but they may be tradable like every other item (which I still don't understand why..)

However, who knows.. anything any of us say will be nothing but speculations whether they're true or false. So let's just see what they announce prior to release.

One japanese poster I saw in a video which idk if it was legit showed a silhouette of what almost looked like a rayquaza/groudon hybrid. Of course I can't speak their language so tanslation is beyond me.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Confirmed For Worldwide 3DS Launch in November

Araquanid

@Zombie_Barioth

Maybe, but for some reason I'm not really feeling it for them to get mega evolutions. They are already too powerful.

But... maybe it's the version exclusive hoenn eons who we HAVE confirmed to get their megas. Besides if groudon and kyrogre got megas they would have to be transferable to x/y.. not to mention that x/y has been hacked weeks after release and pretty much we found only 2 new megas and 3 events as well as potentially scrapped or hidden vivillons.

These may be what they're refering to by "never before seen".. or it would be like that if hackers didn't jump to work.

Untitled

They also wanted these hidden more than anything.. notice how nintendo let action replays and cheating device get arceus and all those pokemon? but only now when there is very little special they actually threaten the company of powersaves (datel) with a lawsuite to stop releasing the unreleased content.. they weren't only spoiling events.. they were spoiling future plans and games gamefreak had all along!

But who knows.. time will tell. We'll know what's up in 7 months.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Confirmed For Worldwide 3DS Launch in November

Araquanid

So those making speculations of a new game coming out that was never hinted or announced were right...

Guess this means..
Untitled
I hope they are released for these new games! (despite the fact I already have em..)

Nonetheless.. I hope more effort is put into this than x/y. I felt X/Y focused TOO much on graphics rather than the design/movepools of the pokemon.. it seemed more like they were just testing the 3ds hardware on a pokemon game and rushed the entire development saying "meh we'll make this game bad so the next one is awesome!" not to mention only made like 69 pokemon.. since this is a hoenn remake it shouldn't have to worry about that lackluster ammount new gen pokemon.. they already have most of their animations and designs made.. so I hope they focus more on utilities and enviroment than just making everything 3d and calling it a game.. which btw x/y has very little use of the 3d feature but no body cares to get a seizure anyway.

BUT IT BETTER HAVE MOVE TUTORS!!!.. and no gym/elite four shedinja users ;-;

Re: Super Smash Bros. Online Code of Conduct to Lay Down Law While Global Smash Power Provides Ratings

Araquanid

@WillhamBoyGeniu
In random play where rankings are recorded what's the big deal anyway.. self destructing to make up for your friend's points doesn't benefit anything because you simply screw up your K/D ratio... so you're not really helping yourself..

Even in gamemodes without ranking or if somebody does decide to do what you said.. you can't control it.. you're going to have trolls here and there and there is no way any filter is going to prevent it.. Where video games go wrong is they try TOO hard to made their titles "bullet proof" and often just ruin the experience for players with strict rules and engines that often screw them for accidental mistakes.. examples being microsoft games where if you teamkill in some of them by accidental blowing them up when they jump in the way or you accidental run them over you get kicked and banned for something out of your control.. I'd hate to see nintendo get too serious with this and follow their mistakes out of competition..

Like several above mentioned.. I wouldn't want to run for a bomb and it explodes before I grab it.. or even get knocked back and my own sticky bomb kills me and I get banned for it. It's engines like these that can go horribly wrong and ruin the game rather than help it..

Re: Super Smash Bros. Online Code of Conduct to Lay Down Law While Global Smash Power Provides Ratings

Araquanid

I just hope the ban feature against continuious self destructs is well programmed.. I don't want to be banned or booted if I accidentally get 3 self destructs in a match.. I can see a major problem here..

I think that was pointless as it affects your ranking overall anyway so who really want to self destruct constantly, nor complain if somebody else is since it's only booting their ranks.

If players left a match 3-5 times early in a row and got banned I'm extremely happy (in case of connection problems give us mercy)

Getting kicked out of the game for being idle for so long, and then getting banned after 2-3 matches would seem extremely awesome.

Re: Guide: The Building Blocks Of Success In Pokémon X & Y

Araquanid

sigh May I explain how to hack pokemon in x/y?

You can do it for just $20.. gamestop and walmart even sell a little device called the "Powersav" It's an action replay just released for the nintendo 3ds which hacks pokemon x/y and any other 3ds game. Basicly you enter codes into the device (kinda like scripting a computer) and it just automaticly does whatever you want.. it just simply goes in the back of your 3ds like a normal game cartirage.. want a mega latios? There you go.. pokemon has been exploited and now the game is ruined... for online play atleast. I'm guilty of using these devices in gen 4-5 but gen 6 just flat out doesn't deserve this terrible crime.. it's illegal to tamper with someone else's games while this company just lets players get away with it..

Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals New Rock/Fairy-Type Pokémon

Araquanid

Sad to say most of us will never see it in-game in person.. Like one of the first post said.. this will be released and distributed in well developed countries and cities were we will litteraly have to cross the world to recieve.. and then there most likely will be no english releases and they'll all be foreign.. in this case only cloners will keep this pokemon alive.. and thats sad to say.. arceus was the same way but there were many options of obtaining it, legit or not, we were still able to keep the name alive and satisfy everyone. Dancie will be a huge diamond that we'll have to search for, for quite awhile.. I hope gamefreak acknowledges this and makes an exception releasing the premier as well as event at one given time world wide like the release of x/y.. and no "traffic" server crashes either like a certain software we waited forever for..

And this goes for the other two pokemon.. dancie along with several other new legendaries and a pair of mega evolutions as well as a few more bonuses were found by a hacker at the same time as dancie so without a doubt I declare them comfirmed!
