the "hero shooter" as a concept has been floating around at lest since quake so a couple of years before TFC I would argue at least since the 1980's not that character with slightly different powers then second character is really all that hard to think up.

depending on your definition you could argue Hexen did it first though i doubt most people would accept that.

Ehh, I was thinking more of actual projects that came out, or at least were in development.

I had the idea for what is essentially Dead by Daylight back in '99 as a mod for Half-Life. Didn't attempt making it, however.

GameFreak was hacked and the hackers stole basically everything on Pokemon from gen 3 after, including source code and development and design files. Including stuff on the upcoming gen for Switch 2.


This leak so far has been crazy. We have an internal codename for the Switch 2 now (Ounce). A bunch of beta designs & concept art. A bunch of scrapped projects from the DS Era. A map editor for DS Pokemon games. The original prints that were used for boxes/cases that you can print out yourself. A bunch of random lore tidbits like an explanation for the whole Arceus triangle thing.

It doesn't stop coming lmao. We might get a 3DS Map editor out of this, too!

I'm going to assume these were all riffs on weird ass Japanese myths and if this is true and not a 4chan gayop these were all written by one woman.

Are these documents translated, or were they already written in English on the compromised servers?

I know at least some of them are which indicates they all are.

Xplay on G4 TV used to have a segment called "WTF, Japan?". This isn't surprising. It's only surprising that it's only 1 random fujoshi. They've absolutely infested Western studios.

except these folktales are not exclusively Japanese sure the majority are but you know being based in japan that tracks.

Pokemon pulls from a shit ton of sources when designing a new gen Sun/Moon used a ton of island folktales and Kalos made references to a ton of knightly french stuff Galar even had a Terrasque Dreadnaw. (G-MAX specifically)

Yall brains are rotted and yes pokemon has been doing this shit for years even before they set the games outside of japan.

It came up a few months ago in the homelands that the Turkic people's origin myth is that they're the descendants of a boy and the she-wolf who rescued him after his village was destroyed. There's a gender-reversed version for one of the ethnic groups in China as well.

My favorite Johto and Hisui starter didn't deserve this fate.

Yes. I always start with the grass starter but the 2 times I didn't was Chikorita and Sprigatito.

Chikorita is massively fucked over by how Johto is laid out and itself (stat and moveset-wise). It's unpopular not entirely because it's bad but because the region actively works against it. Bulbasaur at least has early game before it falls off in mid-game Kanto. Squirtle and Charmander eventually pick up after early game. Chikorita has none of that opportunity.

Like Charmander, the first two gyms actively work against your starter however; Unlike Charmander who eventually gets a leg up, Chikorita never has that opportunity. You're not really going to do much about Whitney, you can't do much to Morty and by this point you should have a solid team to deal with Chuck/Pryce/Claire which just causes Meganium to just kind of become deadweight. You do end up maybe having a good match-up with Jasmine, I guess?

Bayleef is one of the "starter" choices in Colosseum and it is kind of passable in but, you're trading a decent Fire-type (Typhlosion) or one of like, edit: Four (Quagsire, Qwilfish and Suicune) Surf users in Colosseum (Feraligatr) for Meganium to attempt to "wall" or use status moves. When better limited options (like Forttress, who can explode) exists.

It sucks because I do like grass starters and I do like Chikorita. But it was destined to be only ever be used in the anime where none of this matters lol. No Mega/no alternate forms/no good HA/bad moveset/bad base stats. It's so over.

it fits on my cooking team so it's S tier.

I Agree with you overall but Bayleaf is one of the few options you can deploy to stop Whitney's rollout spam Reflect give you room to kill the cow.
otherwise your stuck looking for a way to kill it before it becomes oppressive.
