...and somehow, Ridley manages to arrogantly build a robot duplicate of himself on top of that.
And that's before he becomes Meta Ridley.
...And gets those cybernetic implants off him after that!
Ha, he is more dick than Mother Brain.

Bowser may be more famous, but Fawful's pulled off more dick moves, IMO. Sometimes, I think Bowser sincerely wants to marry Princess Peach, screw how vocal Mario is about his disapproval of their marriage...sometimes, that doesn't seem very dick to me.

One black-and-white drawing of Donald Duck and his nephews, probably bought by my parents at some point, likely before I was born. Professional-quality, almost certainly not on DeviantArt unless someone is being a sneak.

One crummy poster of the constellation Cancer I made in junior high for an assignment.

One colour poster of a "Kendoxy", a sword-like fairy I made up in junior high. I was lucky enough to take an art class that let me draw one. This one smiths weapons, and he's magically lifting a stone glaive in this poster. Apparently, my toddler nephew likes this poster.

I'm moving to Victoria today, though, so the answer will change very soon.

I don't have synesthesia. I do strongly associate letters and keys with certain colours, though. Then again, since I keep associating G with green, G major with medium green, G minor with green-black, B flat major with light blue, and B flat minor with blue-black, I suspect that I just might be associating some letters and keys with the starting letters of colours.

I have my brother's old Nexus 4, and I'd like these from my next smartphone:
  • More memory (at roughly 5-6 GB of ROM, I'm currently deleting apps just to keep the rest updated)
  • No chance of unexpectedly turning off (often while it's in my bag) and being hard to turn on afterwards
  • Keeping the location toggle on hopefully shouldn't drain so much batteries

Nintendo / Re: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon

I suppose I can't really put this in spoilers: USUM have been leaked, and the data miners have grabbed everything from it. Ultra Beast names, new move tutors, the entire storyline, whether Tapu Koko ever learns Play Rough...

With that being said, BDS hasn't relayed everything, so here's stuff I've learned from the leaks:
Heavy USUM Spoilers--this assumes you've read BDS's spoiler
Poipole
  • It's apparently one of the choices for Starter Pokemon in its home parallel universe.

Naganadel
  • This guy learns Nasty Plot. It has somewhat crummy defences, but if you can force a switch...

Zeraora
  • The newest Mythical Pokemon has a new move called "Plasma Fists". It's a physical Electric attack with 100 BP, and it apparently "turns Normal attacks into Electric attacks" afterwards (the words it says afterwards sound like Ion Deluge to me).
  • Hilariously, its ability is Volt Absorb (so is its Hidden Ability), so the Ion Deluge-like effect of "Plasma Fists" might actually do something pretty useful. I've read one comment that it's "the world's (worst) spinblock(er)".

Ultra Necrozma
  • This is a form change, and only Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, in both cases with Ultranecrozium Z equipped, can assume this form. Poor old regular Necrozma doesn't get to.
  • This form change occurs mid-battle, a la Mega Evolution.
  • Ultra Necrozma's ability is Neuroforce, which increases the power of its super-effective attacks an unknown amount. Even if we assume it's Expert Belt: the ability, that still rocks often enough.
  • It has a new Z-Move, "Light that Burns the Sky". It's a Psychic-type attack, it has 200 BP, and it's based on Photon Geyser. It has both the ability-ignoring effect of Sunsteel Strike/Moongeist Beam and the attack-or-special-attack use of Photon Geyser. That Z-Move already reminds me of Ormagöden from Brütal Legend and how that god-beast is "Cremator of the Sky".
  • If you want what I've pieced together about the lore surrounding (Ultra) Necrozma, go read the storyline spoilers below.

Storyline
Yeah, it's like SM but with a twist
  • Necrozma is so dangerous that Lusamine tries to take it down (for selfish reasons).
  • Necrozma once showered the homeland of the Ultra Recon Squad (the Ultra Megalopolis) with light, but their ancestors apparently wanted even more of its power and made it "lose a part of its body" trying to extract said power. (Man, this sounds like Kyurem all over again.) Now Necrozma's in a wild rage, ravenously devouring any light it sees and pining for massive light sources. The Ultra Recon Squad imprisoned it in a tower in an attempt to restrain it, but that clearly isn't working out.
  • The "part of its body" that Necrozma lost apparently turned into sparkling stones that people refined into Z-Power Rings. It seems that an Ultranecrozium Z crystal in a Z-Power Ring is a good enough substitute for that missing body part that Necrozma can attain its light-producing Ultra Necrozma form again. Well, that form change is only temporary, so maybe Ultranecrozium Z crystals with Z-Power Rings are indeed poor substitutes...
  • Necrozma absorbs Nebby (Cosmoem evolves only into Solgaleo/Lunala confirmed) and becomes Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma. As Necrozma hungers greatly for light, Solgaleo/Lunala is apparently nearly completely under its control, constantly emitting light that Necrozma devours.
  • Necrozma eventually absorbs Nebby further and transforms into Ultra Necrozma. It's implied that Ultra Necrozma is the form Necrozma used to have before it lost that "part of its body".
  • Afterwards, Team Rainbow Rocket appears. Apparently, Ultra Necrozma made enough Ultra Wormholes to bring them into Alola (quite possibly by accident in Ultra Necrozma's point of view). With the possible exception of Ghetsis and Giovanni, this team is made of villainous team leaders who were recruited just as they won. Faba wants to join.
  • Yes, Nebby and Necrozma are separated after you meet Ultra Necrozma for the first time.
  • The Solagaleo/Lunala you ride belongs to the Ultra Recon Squad.
  • Colress makes the N-Solarizer (for making Dusk Mane Necrozma) and N-Lunarizer (for making Dawn Wings Necrozma). (Man, this sounds like Kyurem-Black and Kyurem-White all over again.)
  • Ultra Beasts are painted in a more sympathetic light, only wanting to go home again. Scientists aim to calm them down instead of forcibly restrain them this time.
  • Necrozma is painted in a more sympathetic light later in the story, especially after it attains its Ultra Necrozma form. The player character is depicted as someone who can calm it down and provide it large amounts of light peacefully. The Ultra Recon Squad presents itself and Necrozma as beings who were separated from light and who shouldn't have been.
  • There's a hilarious story involving a trainer and his/her Guzzlord, "Mr. Glutton", if you delve into the story dump hard enough. Apparently, on their home planet (I'm not kidding--the trainer says "their planet"), Guzzlords eat garbage and toxic waste (along with anything else). Thank goodness, as their home planet is a dump with hideously poor air quality.
  • Totem Pokemon auras apparently originate from (past? Ultra?) Necrozma's light. Necrozma apparently dumped the auras in Alola when it visited in the past.
  • While stories in USUM tell of how Necrozma was banished by light, one character speculates that "maybe people were just giving it the light it needed". Or maybe people just couldn't recognize Ultra Necrozma as the same entity as pitch-black, plain old Necrozma or even the Necrozma appendages on Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma.
  • Based on everything I've read, my speculation is that Ultra Necrozma is based either on a supergiant star or a naked singularity. The emphasis on Necrozma being Ultra Necrozma(-like) in the past leans towards the supergiant interpretation, but the fact that Ultra Necrozma is playable and Ultra Necrozma's ability being Neuroforce instead of Prism Armor leans towards the naked singularity interpretation. (Think of Prism Armor as clothes/an event horizon and the missing body part as something that helps maintain a naked singularity.)

New Z-Moves
  • Mimikyu's new Z-Move is "Let's Play Forever". It uses Play Rough as a base, it's 190 BP, and it's a physical Fairy attack. That's pretty much it. Boo, I thought it would repair Mimikyu's Disguise or something funky. I think it contacts the opponent.

More Details About Previously Revealed Attacks
  • Mind Blown is 150 BP, a Fire-type special attack, and predictably rips out 50% (rounded up) of its user's maximum HP upon use. I have a feeling the user can KO itself to pull off this attack. Its Z-Move power is 200 BP.
  • Photon Geyser, besides being a coolio Psychic attack, has 100 BP. It hits the opponent's special defence regardless of whether it uses Necrozma's attack or special attack.

Movepool Changes
  • New mons with Sticky Web include Araquanid, Ribombee, and Slurpuff. Screw Galvantula, I'm using new Webs setters instead.
  • New mons with Strength Sap include Victreebel, Jumpluff, and the Oddish line. Jumpluff's gonna get annoying.
  • Sadly, there are no new Rapid Spinners.
  • Thanks to move tutors, a ton of things know Defog now. I'm the most excited about Landorus(-T), Tornadus(-T), Thundurus(-T), Rotom(-W/etc.), Tapu Koko, Altaria(-Mega), Hydreigon, Whimsicott, Klefki, Silvally, Florges, Blaziken(-Mega), Xerneas, Yveltal, and Lunala getting this move. Poison Heal Gliscor and Multiscale Dragonite also being able to learn Defog is neat.
  • Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu still don't learn any physical Fairy attacks. Auuuuugggghhhh...
  • Ultra Beast movepools are still rather shallow. Kartana is still the only Ultra Beast to learn Defog. Celesteela still doesn't get good recovery.
  • Well, Kartana does learn a speed-boosting move now: Tailwind. Fear the speed-boosting Kartana!

Off-Topic / Re: Unpopular Opinions!
November 09, 2017, 01:41:07 PM
Based on other forum posters' reactions whenever leaks happen, I have a feeling this opinion of mine is unpopular:

I love preview/reveal days. The more information is revealed, the happier I get. If enough spoilers are revealed, it's pretty much Christmas in July(/actual month of reveals/leaks) for me. Then my imagination takes over, testing cards/etc., making decks/teams, analyzing how good the new content is, etc. (yeah, some of these are Magic: The Gathering-related).

(Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon leaked today, so I'm swelling with happiness here.)

Quote from: LeviR.star on November 08, 2017, 08:17:52 AM- the background music for the "Mean Bean" battle in Sonic Mania is a remix of Satan's theme from the Puyo Puyo franchise
Given that Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine re-skins Puyo Puyo (complete with Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine's 2P Mode music being a near-exact copy of Satan's theme from Puyo Puyo), I like to think that's Sega eating crow with that song usage.

I'm back from the scouting trip to Victoria (I'll be moving there in full this weekend).

I passed by a store named "Fan Favourites" that advertised itself as selling Atari games, but it had a lot of video game plushies at the front.

Get your Charmander plushies here...get your Meta Knight plushie here...I thought I saw a Captain Toad plushie in there, too.

Seeing as its Facebook page has some pretty...eclectic Pokemon plushie selections (Hoopa-Confined much?), I'm distracted right now thinking about how much worse Digimon plushies can be than Pokemon plushies. (The half-joke is that the Examon plushie would lose ridiculous amounts of detail, and I don't think there's an audience for a Megidramon plushie.)

So Kirby Battle Royale already came out. Storyline spoilers inside:
Spoiler
  • King Dedede's got a Kirby Printer, which spews out (probably inferior) different-coloured duplicates of Kirby with copy abilities already equipped, but possibly without the capability to eject copy abilities and absorb new ones. Guess this printer doesn't make Waddle Dees for some reason.
  • Kind of like King Dedede getting a magic fire hammer in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Bandana Waddle Dee's got a magic water parasol.
  • Kirby's gotta slog through multiple Leagues' worth of competitors.
  • Meta Knight managed to get to the Gold League before figuring he wants a real challenge and commits competitive suicide by challenging Kirby (and Bandana Waddle Dee). He's accompanied by Axe Knight for the tournament. Meta Knight says he joined the tournament to test his strength and possibly get stronger.
  • King Dedede seemingly wants to continue his rivalry with Kirby, so he's the last competitor before Kirby can win cake. The king gets pretty salty and angry to boot.
  • King Dedede eventually pilots a Robo Bonkers-like mech called Dededestroyer Z. Kirby still defeats him, though. Bandana Waddle Dee does help out by pushing in a sparkly cannon, though.
  • Kirby actually does accept the initial cake as a prize instead of asking for a bigger cake.
  • Meta Knight reports earlier that "These (Kirby) copies are pathetic." This might actually have been foreshadowing--when the Kirby Printer explodes after Kirby blows up Dededestroyer Z, all the Kirby copies it created explode soon afterwards.

Turns out that the playable character roster consists of versions of Kirby with different copy abilities, a random Waddle Dee with a magic water parasol, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. Now for a tier list to sort itself out....
