I'll probably get it. I've been thinking about getting another Switch for a while, but with all the Switch Pro rumors I was waiting until there was an announcement. It helps that I mostly play in handheld mode too, so it'll be a nice improvement.
That's sad. I haven't been on there in quite a long time, but I joined the tech support forums when I was 13. I really wanted to help, so I'd constantly refresh the page to try to get a question I could answer. Most of the time I just told people to contact Nintendo (lol), but there were a few times that I was actually able to help. At one point, on the old site, I made it to the first page of the top contributors list and I was so happy about it.
I beat a game it if it's like Mario where there's mostly action and a big boss battle at the end, and I finish it if it's a calmer or more story-driven game like Professor Layton.
Voted for 2017. The first console I was actually able to get on release day was the 3DS and that was amazing, but after that I remember there not being many games I wanted for a long time. With the Switch we immediately had Breath of the Wild, and a more powerful handheld, and idk I just love the Switch. Seems like I missed out on a lot of good years though.
When I was little I had Rocket Power, Dragon Tails, and Powerpuff Girls on my Gameboy Color, and a Peter Pan game on my PlayStation. I think later on I got a Fairly Odd Parents game for Gameboy Advance.
I've watched almost the entire series on Pokemon TV (after watching the original series on Netflix). You just have to be patient, and try not to watch all 5 episodes at once.
Welcome! With such similarities I might not have even noticed Tom left. I've been visiting this site for 7-9 years (can't remember exactly how many), and I look forward to seeing what new things you bring.
I was sad when James left. Now, years later, I'm sad that you're leaving. You've done a great job here, and I'm sure you will be amazing at your new job!
They showed every legendary and form of legendary in order. Then they showed Dialga and Palkia again right after going through them all. What does this mean?
I play pretty equally between docked and portable. It mostly depends on how charged the Switch is, if the tv is being used, and how/where I want to sit.
@justin233 I'd love to develop a game. I'm also working on a degree in graphic design and would like to get a certificate/degree in game design, I'm not good at illustration though. I do have some interesting story ideas.
I love Picross, but I ended up with a book called Two Color Paintdoku. I finally finished all the puzzles in it, and they got huge compared to the ones in Picross. Now I'm afraid this will feel too easy.
I really want to get this. But I have other games to play first, including Story of Seasons. I'll probably get it once I have money, and multiplayer is added.
I still enjoy playing this whenever I go somewhere. I've finally gotten to the point where I'm actually useful at gyms. I didn't even know until a couple months ago that you got coins for defending gyms.
I'm concerned about if we'll be able to have multiple files on one gamecard. And about how there's always at least two versions of the game. My brother and I share a Switch, and we probably won't want to buy multiple copies for $60 each.
I'm really excited! I play a little every day to catch whatever random Pokemon pop up at my house, so i can get the catch bonus. I don't live near a gym or Pokestop, so the couple times I go somewhere each month I still play Pokemon Go and have a lot of fun with it. I guess not being able to fully play it most of the time has kept it from getting stale for me.
I thought it was likely the new games would be for 3DS. I was hoping it would be for the Switch, but oh well. I'm interested in seeing what they added to Alola still, and will probably get it.
I think its a good idea, because people who haven't upgraded to a new 3ds yet will have a more affordable option now. Also, maybe there will be a big game that requires the new 3ds. Perhaps Pokemon Stars, or whatever it will be, since Sun and Moon pushed my old 3ds really hard.
I had an idea for an Animal Crossing t-shirt with the villager holding a shovel, and one of the animals stuck in a pitfall seed behind them. I started it, but wasn't able to finish in time.

Maybe there's a new final evolved form for Wurmple, besides Beautifly and Dustox. Or maybe it was an animation error.
