Found a shiny Smeargle after a mere 45 calls for help. Failed to catch it after it struggled itself to death.

that's the first shiny i've failed to catch in eleven years, since that wobbuffet i found in hoenn's safari zone

the hunt continues

Current Ultra Sun nuzlocke team:

Alolan Persian
Pa'u Style Oricorio
Shiny Hariyama
Sylveon
Tsareena

My Furfrou died to Guzma, and he was a major bro, so that bums me out. Currently considering doing something I've never done before: shiny hunt for a Smeargle. Since it's only available in one route, invoking shiny clause is the only way I can catch it, but since they made finding shinies so easy in this game anyway, I might just go for it. I've always wanted to use a Smeargle in a nuzlocke, and I don't really know how else to replace Furfrou.

I know Smeargle isn't very good in single player, and I already used one in Silver, but I don't care. I wanna use one in a generation that doesn't fucking cocktease me every time I find a useful move to teach it, since Sketch has (almost) zero limitations in Gen VII.

Dunno how Zelda was even nominated for best art considering they've basically done the same style thing for the last few installments.
um

No
I knew that'd be the only thing you focused on

fanboy
well yes but

Honestly

Breath of the Wild

Skyward Sword

Twilight Princess

they have their similarities, but to say they're all "basically the same style" is just... not correct, and they all have fairly apparent distinctions

botw's cel-shading is very strong, but the colors are bright and washed out, and the models are stylized like anime to the point of looking almost like a makoto shinkai film

skyward sword's cel-shading is lighter, and the colors, while highly saturated, aren't as washed out as they are in botw. the models are also have more detail, eschewing the cartoony look for a bit more realism

twilight princess is perhaps the most distinct, with its gritty color palette, lighting that ranges from super realistic to high fantasy in twilight, moody character expressions, and further attention to detail, giving it a distinctly "adult" feel that other zelda games do not have

i realize you may not have been 100% serious, but i don't even think they're all that similar to begin with

Move Xenoblade and Virgin Emblem Buttom Mashers to don't bother.
as much as i despise them, i'd be lying if i said i didn't see their appeal from a pure gameplay standpoint
FE Warriors is literaly just button mashing though,
yeah, and sadly, some people enjoy that

trust me if i was going off my OWN opinions for that list, it would look a lot different

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is getting tons of fanfare from people I follow on twitter who have played it. Verb will say its meh because its "anime" so ignore that.
but flee hates anime almost as much as i do

Wow, my palate is as round as they come, thank you very much. Just not too big on weebshit and overly infantile stuff (both of which are Nintendo staples). Sonic has just never been my thing because of the semi "on rails" gameplay (the emphasis on constant but very linear speed always gave me that impression) and Splatoon looks like a brightly colored and casual third person shooter with nothing special going for it that'd get me to play it more than a few games. I tried the first one on display at a game store and felt done with it after one match.

Console sounds about what I expected. Anything about a new Smash Bros or Pokemon?
all we know about pokémon is that the next generation is guaranteed to be on the switch, but it's still about a year away

as for smash, we don't know much at all—recently, there was a system update which made it so you could play with a gamecube controller, which tipped a lot of people off that smash for switch was on the horizon, but nintendo then went on to state that this wasn't actually intentional and was merely a happy accident

you might like the fact that doom is on the system, and that it plays much better than you'd expect (not that i've played it—i'm going by the word of others), but not if you can't deal with anything other than k+m

which sonic games have you played, out of curiosity

Splatoon and Sonic? Never liked any of the Sonic games and the first platoon looked awful to me. Why are they must-haves? And what about the console itself?
"must-have" assumes you have a well-rounded palate; splatoon 2 and sonic mania are fucking dope and have received universal acclaim, but if you're not into either franchise, you can skip them—but that doesn't leave you with a whole lot

the console itself has its follies, but i think it's pretty great overall, principally because of the sheer utility of being able to take it on the go, and the seamless transition between the two states is pretty fucking revolutionary

you might not like the joycons—in fact, i expect you to hate them—because they're VERY small, but they get the job done once you get used to them, and being able to sit in any position you want while playing is very nice

the biggest problems with it are the extremely fragile screen, which would probably rank a 2 on moh's hardness scale, the asinine placement of the AC adapator port (directly under the machine), and the chintzy little kickstand they give you is an absolute joke

i would recommend waiting a bit longer for more games to come out, if zelda and mario alone aren't enough

i've been compiling a comprehensive list for a while just for threads like this

i'll even adjust it for PAL for you

Must have:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Super Mario Odyssey
Splatoon 2
Sonic Mania

Good choices:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (would be a must-have if the game wasn't already so old on the wii u)
Blaster Master Zero
Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack
Mighty Gunvolt Burst
Snipperclips Plus
Fast RMX

Not so good or niche:

Spoiler
Arms
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Fire Emblem Warriors
Pokkén Tournament DX
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers
Super Bomberman R
Super Putty Squad
Touch Battle Tank SP
ACORN Tactics
Gear.Club Unlimited
Golf Story
Kamiko

Don't bother:

Spoiler
1-2-Switch
Revenant Saga
New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers
Super Ping Pong Trick Shot
Qbics Paint
Physical Contact: Picture Place
Physical Contact: 2048
Physical Contact: Speed
Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase
Othello
Boost Beast
Astro Bears Party
Flip Wars
Super Beat Sports
Ultra Hyperball
Puzzle Adventure Blockle
Vroom in the Night Sky

and that's not including games that can be played on other non-nintendo systems, like Skyrim
(except sonic but it's too good not to include)

there is ONE game called Schlag den Star - Das Spiel out that is exclusive to your region; i know nothing about it

Don't know what FFXV is doing in Best RPG considering it came out last year.
because by the time ff15 was out, the nominees for 2016 had already been decided

fuck cooking instructions honestly

all i should have to look out for is TWO NUMBERS

>350 degrees
>20 minutes

THAT IS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEED

WHY IS IT EVER LIKE "cook for 10 minutes and then flip them over and then put them back in for another 10 minutes"

JUST GIVE ME ONE FUCKING NUMBER BECAUSE MY BRAIN IS GONNA AUTOMATICALLY STOP AT "10"
