Plantera is a Hardmode boss that can be fought after all three Mechanical Bosses (The Destroyer, Skeletron Prime, and The Twins) have been defeated. Once this happens, Plantera's Bulbs will begin to spawn in the Underground Jungle biome.
@James_mussell98 If you're interested in the social aspects then definitely just wait until you have a console to play it on. If you want to play some courses for fun and maybe make (but not share online) a few levels, this is perfect.
Honestly this would be pretty cool if they figured out a way to get rid of the actual border from the phone app (or at least make it look better), the flash effect when you catch a Pokemon being within that square.. yuck.
I'm super excited for this version of the game and I'll be playing it a lot, but real talk: it doesn't deserve a good score. They removed features from a game that honestly could use more. I'll still be playing it, but come on. It's just a lazy cash in to get the most money out of the final days of the 3DS.
@Nintendood I do like the 3D when used properly, but I haven't actually owned a n3DS so I guess it was never convenient. It's never going to make or break a game for me, it's just there, and I'd much prefer a decent resolution and better overall framerates over the 3D.
@Nintendood Has 3D ever been important? Except for a few launch titles, I can't think of a single time where it was ever necessary, or even convenient.
@RainbowGazelle Those games aren't nearly as detailed or cinematic as the gameplay in Sun/Moon from my experience. Yo-kai Watch is a lot more zoomed out and doesn't have to worry about the same amount of onscreen items and general detail.
Say what you want about Yo-kai Watch, Sun/Moon took some obvious inspiration from it with what are two of the main gimmicks in the game; the Rotom Pokedex and Z moves.

Re: Nintendo Has Reportedly Sold 1.5 Million Switch Consoles Worldwide
@Anti-Matter Uh? Better Joy-con? I don't see what's wrong with them at the moment. The left joycon de-syncronization is probably a software issue.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Runs At 60fps In 1080p When Docked
1080/30 is better than 720/60 for splitscreen. More screen detail per player, yknow?

Re: HAMSTER Corporation Promises Improvements in Nintendo Switch ACA Neo Geo Titles

Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?
Web browser, please. As long as that can play Youtube, and possibly at some point Netflix and Hulu I don't see any need for other, separate apps.

@Grumblevolcano Actually, no. We'll have at least a month, if I'm thinking this out correctly.

Re: Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Online Service Details
I don't mind, as long as it's not overpriced. If we get Overwatch for Switch I'll stop playing the PS4 version anyways.

you weren't talking to me
Re: Video: Let's Put the Original 3DS Through its Paces with Pokémon Sun & Moon
@Nintendood Eh. To me most of the time it either makes everything look all dumb (like cardboard cutouts) or just makes the game hard to play.

Re: Soapbox: In The Wii U's Final Days, Let's Be Thankful For Lego Dimensions
No one's complaining about the crap framerate of the Wii U version? I love Nintendo and all, but it's a bad port. The PS4 version is the way to go.
