I got Arbok, Onix, Gyarados, and plan on Dragonair.

I'd rather not have Ekans cause that's basically two of the same Pokemon.

I'm considering Fearow cause he looks kind of like a snake cause of the long rear end neck, which was all you could see in the originals when using him.

I can't recall if any of the other 151 are Sneklike

It's okay to say Nintendo are stupid to keep forcing people to use motion controls because motion controls are, as a whole, bad. You can still love nintendo and be a big fanboy and drop down on your knees in front of Miyamoto and at the same time dislike motion controls. No one is going to think less of you for being honest with the world.

There should always be an option to not use motion controls. Especially in a situation like this one where the game plays one way docked but another undocked. That's beyond bad game design. It's vindictive.

I like the candy system. If you don't want to break the game with it, there are a couple other good uses of it. Catch a rare Pokemon with a lovely nature/stats? Use candy to shore it up! Like a Pokemon's unevolved form better than its evolutions? Give it candy until it's at parity with where it would be if it evolved!

It's basically an adjustable difficulty system. It's good. Candy is good. Send the unworthy to the farm upstate back to the Professor!

Fun fact: candies are 2% sugar and 98% gelatin.

The last one is the big one for me. I don't like Golduck but Psyduck is my favorite Pokémon of all time. So I'm gonna power up Psyduck to be as beefy as the rest. I do wish I could give it an everstone though instead of having to stop its evolution each time it levels when it gets to that point

Huh Lickitung really is just a fat snake with legs huh

That gives me
Onix: Ground/Rock
Arbok: Poison
Gyarados: Water/Flying. Mega: Water/Dark
Lickitung: Normal
Dragonair: Dragon

And finally....

Jynx: Ice/Psychic

Cause someone gotta raise all these snakes

Cause I want no type duplicates and I don't want Fire/Water/Grass/Electric, she is the best choice

Question: Is Jynx and Mr Mime male and female of the same species? I say yes

It'd be cool if, on Dec 25th, Nintendo dropped a bunch more NES games to their service. Stuff like the SMB 2 and 3, Zelda 2, the Lolo trilogy, and whatever 3rd party games they could manage.

I suppose the chances are super slim to see any of the classic Mega Man games on there, given that they're available elsewhere on the same platform, right?

3 is on there already, and Lolo is scheduled for next month

Well, glad I sprung to get Battlefield V Deluxe, as my girlfriend successfully hogged Switch the whole weekend. From Friday night until Sunday, she put in over 25 hours of Let's Go Pikachu.

We even went out and got the PokeBall Plus. She's got Pikachu loaded in there now. Looks like we'll be getting another Switch this summer.

Diablo 3 is still a lot of fun but it has some annoying stuff. :( A bunch of these maps just suck real bad (basically everything from the end of the campaign) and some of the maps are just too darn big. Running around for 15 minutes trying to find the objective with no indication of where it is or which direction isn't fun. Also stop sending me to these barracks, that has to be the most infuriating map of them all! And what's with the action priority? If I'm doing a cursed chest event I basically cannot use my basic attack because my character will rather inspect the chest and go "I can't open that" than attack :arghfist:

I also really wish they'd add some options to turn down the positional audio and rumble because those are both really uncomfortable in handheld mode.

Pokemon is fairly simple, so the posts don't tend to be super dense.

The switch thread is doomed to be occasionally dominated by conversation about a particular game. Such is the way of every console thread whenever a hip new game comes out. It can be prevented no more than one can prevent the sunset or the rise and fall of tides.

Yeah the PS thread is still talking about BloodBorne. Pretty much why I stopped checking it out.
