@Donnerkebab the idea itself wasn't bad and has been used quite a bit since then, it's just that the method that they wanted to use was. @DrDaisy it might not of worked as well given that they wanted to use 2 different games and the n64, as far as i know, couldn't unlock things though having save files 2 different games of the same console like consoles. only games that really worked like that with the 64 only did so between the n64 and and gameboy games via transfer pak, most notably the 2 pokemon stadiums. odds are, they would of had to make an accessory that would allow synchronicity between the 2 games or go though a different kind of programming hell that wasn't worth it for an old save bonus at the time.
it will only slowdown if 1) they make all evs/ivs/movesets easily interchangeable in the game. they should just take pokehex and put it into the game but as something that has to be unlocked by beating the game. 2) they should stop with the event/paywall only pokemon nonsense and shiny locking things so they can't be shiny in game and up the encounter rate to 1/10 this would eliminate most of the needless grind that has caused this mess for years and subsequently render save mods obsolete, outside of just people messing around with mods in ways that are not meant to cheat.
just because its fusion, it dose not make it smt nor is this the first time pokemon's had fusion involved. and its not exclusive to just 1 or more pokemon...
@daisygurl well, he might of created tingle but he doesn't own the copyright or trademark so it's not really up to him whether tingle gets used more or not.
katy perry? could be worse... actually, we already have worse considering that theres a donald trump looking pokemon that cases away mexican stereotype looking pokemon...
@victordamazio heh, funny thing about this one: “Pokémon is satanic, my preacher said that to me, Pokémons are clearly demons!” is that while pokemon was taking the heat for being demonic, digimon flew under the radar despite devimon, demidevimon, ladydevimon & daemon which where all clearly demons. hell, venommyotismon was practically called the beast of revelation with that prophecy that tied to him. "The sky will be darkened by the wings of many bats. The fallen people will invoke the name of the undead Digimon king and when the clock strikes the hour of the beast, the undead king will reveal himself in his true form as the beast. Then angels will shoot arrows of hope and light at the loved ones of those they've been sent to protect, and a miracle will happen. Please always recycle." hour of the beast was also 6:06:06 am still not the most unholy thing about venommyotismon either...
@Entrr_username its not just people who got infected with the virus, a lot if businesses outright got shut down or limited from their main source of revenue by government order.

i wonder if its going to be one of the more serious plot driven ones like sonic x or one of the more episodic comedy based ones like sonic boom. either way, not keeping the expectations to high. animated sonic series tend to be hit and miss and just using cgi can break a series. especially if its as bad berserk 2017....
the real question is, how much great gatsby stuff is going to flood out next year from it finally hitting the public domain on jan 1 2021? not to mention the steam boat willy stuff in 2023
@TheAwesomeBowser you could always do before with twitter and facebook, though videos where more of a hassle as you had to use a downloader to rip. well, for twitter at least. never used it with facebook

@Clyde_Radcliffe i can see knuckles being in it since the first movie started with an escape from the echidnas, but it might be too soon for amy the stalker
it's odd that my controllers tend to drift more the less i use them for some reason. the drift also tends to only happen when i'm in menu screens so i can still play games without that much hassle. still, this is an issue that should not of existed especially when you got 3ed party's making switch controllers without this issue
i got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity pre-ordered though the eshop. would of preferred getting it from gamestop for the key chain; alas gamestops website won't even let me login & i'm not anywhere near a gamestop anymore.
@Yoshi i mean, nintendo did buy the rights to mario parody porn movies before. they really should be taking the same stance disney is with this by now...
@Noid not to mention that super princess peach ds game where she was running around with a magical vibrator.
whatever they do, it won't work for long. hell, they can't ban clones without first preventing trading with pokemon go and preventing all mewtwos from being traded
@BLD well, its made by the same team that makes Kingdom Hearts and look how long it took them to finally make a KHIII. well, at least this can get an anime as it's not as boggled down by copyright as KH's is
@Jokerwolf it's been open season since the 3ds's release date. nintendo can't stop the hackers, only slow them down a little. and that little blockade is normally ripped down by the next mourning
15/15 the Dark Samus one would of been more tricky if Dark Samus wasn't a "mirror" of Samus. also, number 10 was clearly supposed to have been "Kirby, after eating a Jigglypuff"
i hope they pressure gamefreak into giving free pokebank access for NSO subscribers. letting GF pull EA shenanigans with a shared copyright unhindered is just bad pr. hell, there are many who blaming nintendo for gf's idiocy.
@heavyarms55 hell, more drama came from game freak apologizing for it than from dewgong being in it. the dewgong could also be perfected explained as being a mon that a non-local trainer released there as well. not like they ever apologized for there being different kinds of ride pokemon in the SM anime than in the SM games
Journeys is better than what i was expecting. i was expecting them make it something like "Let's Go: Sword & Shield" @mrmememan the dub of main Pokemon anime is always behind the sub by at least a few months. it's been like this from the beginning. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_anime_episodes#Indigo_League_arc the first two episodes of X&Y being an exception to this as they where dubbed early to promote the X&Y series stateside which was necessary after the travesty of Black & White. @wolvesboy no, because the pokemon company is not good at making decisions.
@MegaVel91 "@Shadowmoon522 Isn't the reason that Ash's goal of being a Pokemon Master being as nebulous as it is because it's a nebulous idea in an of itself?"
it was more concrete in the games as being synonymous with Pokemon Champion it only got needlessly convoluted after the anime writers botched things up.

@knuckles ssb4 didn't have a story mode because sakurai was upset about the subspace emissary cuts scenes from brawl being on youtube
"Unfortunately, the movie scenes we worked hard to create were uploaded onto the internet, You can only truly wow a player the first time he sees [a cutscene]. I felt if players saw the cutscenes outside of the game, they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game, so I've decided against having them."

@Donnerkebab the idea itself wasn't bad and has been used quite a bit since then, it's just that the method that they wanted to use was.
@DrDaisy it might not of worked as well given that they wanted to use 2 different games and the n64, as far as i know, couldn't unlock things though having save files 2 different games of the same console like consoles.
only games that really worked like that with the 64 only did so between the n64 and and gameboy games via transfer pak, most notably the 2 pokemon stadiums.
odds are, they would of had to make an accessory that would allow synchronicity between the 2 games or go though a different kind of programming hell that wasn't worth it for an old save bonus at the time.
Re: The Pokémon Company To Crack Down On Sword, Shield And HOME Users Who Modify Save Data In "New Ban Wave"
it will only slowdown if
1) they make all evs/ivs/movesets easily interchangeable in the game. they should just take pokehex and put it into the game but as something that has to be unlocked by beating the game.
2) they should stop with the event/paywall only pokemon nonsense and shiny locking things so they can't be shiny in game and up the encounter rate to 1/10
this would eliminate most of the needless grind that has caused this mess for years and subsequently render save mods obsolete, outside of just people messing around with mods in ways that are not meant to cheat.
