What I think of Zenless Zone Zero so far, as someone who has played Genshin and HSR (going to try Honkai 3rd soon)
Pros!
/ I really like the combat style, from what I’ve seen it’s basically Honkai Impact: 3rd, but with tweaks that fit the world of New Eridu. It’s easy and fun.
/I enjoy the art style and the character designs. They’re interesting without being “busy” or “over complicated” unlike some of the other Hoyoverse designs (side eyes Genshin and HSR because like why does everyone need a garter belt).
/the animation is bouncy and gives life to the characters and how they interact with one another. And honestly they don’t really have “unrealistic” body types unlike some of Hoyoverse games. It’s nice to see the characters in games actually looking like they have room for their organs.
/I actually really love the concept of being like, a secret organization that operates around the government, and our username is in fact, a username for their fake account. It’s interesting, and a concept that is honestly very unique.
/speaking of the “Proxy” thing because Wise and Belle? They are some of my favorite characters and I’m REALLY interested in learning more about them. Like how are the able to do what they do? WHY are they able to do it?
/I chose Wise and he’s my bbg. Him and Billy Kid have my entire heart
/the storyline seems decently paced without feeling rushed (the combat aids this because it goes by relatively quickly so you can focus more on the story)
/i really like the “comic book” set up they use for some scenes. It gives it an urban feel (fitting the game) and it allows people to read at their own pace.
/WE CAN PET THE CATS
/I REPEAT WE CAN PET THE ANIMALS
Cons!
/ the game is brand new, so they’re still working on some glitches. I have yet to experience any but I know many players have.
/the SIZE. Why is it so big? I believe I seen one thing where it was bigger than GENSHIN. I had to abandon my Pokemon on Pokémon GO! In order to make room for the full game of ZZZ.
/The Prologue is kind of a snooze fest, but most game prologues are. This one was legit just introducing us to our main crew.
Conclusion!!!
Zenless is a really good game, and I really enjoy it so far! I can’t wait to see where the story and the crew working on it takes us.
Meanwhile I wanna just about Wise because mean I LOVE his design? His dark circles, the light in his eyes? I legit said “oh my god he’s so pretty” when THIS scene happened

I’m just going to put this out here
I actually don’t like artoria and all her saber face varieties
Now let me be clear I don’t HATE her I just don’t like her this is be just explaining why
My one of my reasons being I hate how much they force her into each and every narrative and I guess that’s why I really like Fate Strange/Fake cause she isn’t in it and they actually focus on other characters
Like I get it she is the face of fate so of course she going to be heavily engaged in the plot and the series kinda like pikachu from Pokémon and like pikachu artoria has her variance like lancer Artoria, Heroine X, and Alter to name a few
So I get that but I hate the whole “Saber face” like I get excited when we get introduce to new characters. I love fate and I love history/myths but my excitement quickly turns into major disappointment when they take a interesting historical/mythical character and slap her face on it and say “here is a brand new character enjoy!!”
To me I see that as lazy character design and lazy marketing and I guess when it happens repeatedly it loses what makes it special like is feels not genuine and their just looking for the next cash cow
Another reasoning is how they handle her character like in the actual myths King Arthur wasn’t all that good and dare I say a tyrant (this is also depends of which telling u read but most of them do not paint Arthur in a good light) and I hate how they made “King Arthur” into some good king that just didn’t understand other people and some white knight who is the pinnacle of justice
Like fate glorified the Arthur’s telling but then completely villainized Gilgamesh (I am aware I might be slightly bias on this one cause Gilgamesh is my favorite character so I’ll try to be fair here)
Im a Gil fan girl ok I don’t bother hiding it and I’ve read the epic I know the shit he does is completely bad like he forced women to sleep with on their wedding night (fun fact that’s called Prima nocta and it’s been used a lot in history) and forced men into harsh labor (some say into labor slaves)
But u know what king Arthur in the legend did that epic Gilgamesh never did.
He killed children
I hate that the whole
May Day f#cking massacre
Got glossed over cause it didn’t fit the whole “white knight” that for some reason got stuck onto the King Arthur legend (to be fair Merlin is kinda at fault slightly due to Merlin prophesied that one of the children *cough*cough* mordred would kill him and Arthur panicked but Arthur ordered it so Arthur is still at fault)
Like fate if ur going to use everything bad and hardly any good for one character that very iconic then do it with the other one
I will admit that with lancer artoria they did try to show off her evil side a bit with the Camelot singularity but then tried to play it off that it wasn’t her when it’s cannon to the actual legend she based off and that fact makes me so mad that they finally addressed her tyrant side but took all the blame off of her…. but I digress
I guess what I’m trying to say (if u actually read to this point) it more how they used artoria that I hate then the actual character
It’s just been bugging me that people in the fandom romanized the knight of the round table as “chivalrous“ white knights…… tell me have u ever researched where the saying “ladies first” came from…..

The Non-Violent Games of E3 2019
Following requests on Twitter, I’ve compiled a roundup of all the non-violent games announced and showcased at E3 2019. Hoping this can become an annual thing.
There are 41 games here across a variety of platforms, so without further ado...
Afterparty
Developer: Night School Studios Platforms: PC, Mac, Xbox One Release Date: 2019
Milo and Lola are best buds who recently died and find themselves in Hell. There is only one way to escape: outdrink Satan and he'll let them return to Earth. This point and click adventure sees you on the bender of your afterlife where you'll play beer pong, flirt with Satan and change the very structure of Hell.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Developer: Nintendo Platforms: Switch Release Date: March 20, 2020
The latest entry in Nintendo's charming life sim series starts on a deserted island. Players begin with nothing more than a tent, but must craft enough materials and cultivate the land until they can build an entire village -- all while repaying their debt to the insidious Tom Nook, of course.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Discovery Tour
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec Platforms: PC Release Date: Autumn 2019
Following on from the Assassin's Creed Origins version presents players with a combat-free version of Odyssy's Ancient Greece. They'll be able to explore it at will, or follow tours and suggested paths that will teach them about various aspects of life and culture at the time. This time around, there are also quizzes to see how much you have learned. It will be released for free, with a standalone version for people who don't own the game.
Catan
Developer: Asmodee Digital Platforms: Switch Release Date: June 2019
The digital adaptation of this classic board game is coming to Nintendo Switch. For those who haven't played, a landscape is randomly generated, its terrain and the produce gained from it is split between players, and your task is to build the biggest settlement. Trade with players to get the resources you need to build towns and roads, but be wary of whether the items you give them are helping their own progress.
Circuit Superstars
Developer: Original Fire Games Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch Release Date: 2020
In the absence of a new Micro Machines, Square Enix Collective is publishing this toy-like top down racer. Players control stylised cars in a series of circuit races where they need to consider their pit stop strategy rather than just floor it and hope to reach the finish first. Vehicles will range from classic cars to rally and trucks.
eFootball PES 2020
Developer: PES Team Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Release Date: September 10, 2019
The long-running Pro Evolution Soccer gets a slight esports-driven name change this year, but still aims to deliver the most realistic football available. The Master League mode is being revamped, and a new mode Matchday appears to tie in with real-world matches, calling on players to choose a side and hope that their team's victories help them in-game.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Developer: Mediatonic Platforms: PC, PS4 Release Date: 2020
Published by Devolver Digital, this colourful outing is essentially a Battle Royale game... but without combat. Players control one of 100 little blob people and strive to survive a series of obstacle courses like climbing a hill with boulders falling towards them or crashing through bricks walls that may or may not be solid. If you've ever watched Takeshi's Castle, you get this idea.
Forza Horizon 4: Lego Speed Champions
Developer: Playground Games Platforms: Xbox One, PC Release Date: June 13, 2019
The Lego Speed Champions expansion adds a whole new region to the best-selling racer where everything is made of (you guessed it) Lego. Players will also be able to hop into Lego vehicles, race around Lego tracks and smash through Lego walls and trees. Because Lego means everything is awesome (And now that song's stuck in your head. Sorrynotsorry).
FIFA 20
Developer: Electronic Arts Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, Switch Release Date: September 27, 2019
This year's FIFA revamps key systems like shooting and AI defending but also adds a brand new FIFA Street-style mode, Volta. This veers away from the realistic, straightforward football we're used to and invites players to be more creative in matches where teams have between three and five players rather than the usual eleven.
Flight Simulator
Developer: Microsoft Platforms: PC Release Date: TBA
Microsoft's hyper-realistic aviation simulation returns after more than a decade, this time rendered in impressive 4K visuals. Sit in the cockpit of faithfully recreated vehicles and fly around the world.
Fujii
Developer: Funktronic Labs Platforms: Valve Index Release Date: June 27, 2019
This virtual reality title allows you to explore three of vibrant and serene landscapes. As they wander through them, each with their own distinct environments, they can help bring each one to life by watering plants, touching certain objects and interacting with creatures. They can also collect seeds on their adventure and use them to grow an exotic garden of their own.
Garden of the Sea
Developer: Neat Corporation Platforms: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive Release Date: June 10, 2019 (Early Access)
In a game described as a mix between Harvest Moon and Pokémon, players are given a cottage on a small island and are free to live out their life how they see fit. They can grow plants and crops in their garden, or explore the island and meet the native creatures. Unlike Pokémon, interacting with them doesn't require you to battle them in any way -- simply stroke them, feed them and generally befriend them.
Genesis Noir
Developer: Feral Cat Den Platforms: PC, Mac Release Date: TBA
Technically, this game depicts the Big Bang that started our universe as a gunshot from a cosmic being, one that kills the protagonist's love interest... but since the gameplay does not involve violence and the goal is to prevent her death, I'm going to give it a pass. This stylish adventure sees you exploring Earth from the eyes of someone who exists outside of the universe. The emphasis is on exploration, interacting with the world and generating art as you do so.
Harvest Moon: Mad Dash
Developer: Natsume Platforms: PS4, Switch Release Date: Autumn 2019
An even more casual spin-off of the already laid back Harvest Moon series, Mad Dash is a colour matching puzzle game at its heart. Players are presented with a field seeded with blocks of different coloured crops. Combining those blocks to form larger squares helps the crops grow larger for more points -- for example, combine four cabbages to make one big cabbage, then four big cabbages to make a giant one. Rack up as high a score as possible before the time runs out, and you can call in a friend with co-op mode to help you.
Heave Ho
Developer: LeCartel Studios Platforms: PC, Switch Release Date: Summer 2019
Published by Devolver Digital, this wacky physics-based platformer gives you control of a strange looking creature with two exceedingly long arms. Use the simulated physics to build momentum and swing or flip across the screen to grab hold of the terrain. Only by mastering the mechanics will you complete each course. You can also have up to three friends join in, but coordination will be key to reaching your goal.
Hyperdot
Developer: Tribe Games Platforms: PC, Xbox Release Date: 2019
This minimalist action arcade game is all about dodging. You control a single dot (a HyperDot, if you will) trapped in a circular arena with enemies, projectiles and other hazards. Simply guide your dot around the empty space to avoid any collisions and survive as long as you can. The campaign will have over 100 different levels, each with their own dangers, and a multiplayer mode will challenge you to outlast your friends.
Just Dance 2020
Developer: Ubisoft Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Wii (no, really) Release Date: November 5, 2019
If you haven't heard of Just Dance before, it's a Rayman Raving Rabbids minigame that's got out of hand (true story). In the minigame, players copied the choreography on an on-screen characters in time with the music. Ten years, 28 games and spin-offs, and countless music licensing deals later, you have Just Dance 2020.
Lost Words: Beyond The Page
Developer: Sketchbook Games Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch Release Date: December 2019
A 2D platformer set entirely in a little girl’s diary. Players use the words on the page as both platforms and tools to solve the various puzzles that block her progress. The game also has a beautiful story written by Rhianna Pratchett.
Madden NFL 20
Developer: Electronic Arts Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Release Date: August 2, 2019
New to this year's Madden is Face of the Franchise: QB1, a "personalised career campaign" that allows players to create their own college quarterback and lead him to NFL glory. There are ten licensed college teams, along with all the most popular teams in the league.
Mind Labyrinth VR Dreams
Developer: Frost Earth Studio Platforms: PSVR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift Release Date: Out Now
Another virtual reality exploration title set in a variety of imaginary landscapes. Mind Labyrinth VR Dreams is designed to be a meditative experience, where each world is inspired by a different mental state to help players "find their emotional balance". Environments range from a calm and lush forest to a perilous world of flames and tornados.
Mosaic
Developer: Krillbite Studio Platforms: PC Release Date: 2019
This dark and brooding adventure centres around a lonely man living a repetitive life in an overpopulated but ever-expanding city. Players experience his life, from the daily commute to working at a faceless megacorporation. All seems meaningless, until one day strange things begin to happen and the man's life changes dramatically.
Night Call
Developer: Black Muffin, MonkeyMoon Platforms: PC, Mac, PS4, Switch Release Date: 2019
A murder mystery noire game where you play a Paris taxi driver. Players must assist with the police investigation by getting their passengers, including potential suspects, to talk during their journey with you. But try not to scare them off, as you still need to earn enough money to pay your bills.
Per Aspera
Developer: Tlön Industries Platforms: PC Release Date: 2020
Another title about colonisation, but this one is set a little closer to home. Per Aspera tells the tale of a mission to colonise Mars, but in addition to the management side of things there is a strong narrative about the hardships of leaving your world to build a new one. Players must explore the Red Planet to find the resources they need to terraform the environment and survive, and make decisions carefully and strategically if they want the colony to prosper.
Planet Zoo
Developer: Frontier Developments Platforms: PC Release Date: November 5
From the makers of Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution comes a management title that, perhaps quite obviously, puts you in charge of a zoo. Care for your animals, customers and staff as you try to run an efficient zoo, unlocking more and more exotic creatures as you progress.
Read Only Memories: Neurodiver
Developer: MidBoss Platforms: PC, Mac Release Date: 2020
Announced this week, this is the sequel to the acclaimed cyberpunk point-and-click adventure 2064: Read Only Memories. Players will search people's memories as a telepathic detective aided by the titular Neurodiver as the pair search Neo-San Francisco for a rogue psychic who is breaking people's minds.
Roller Champions
Developer: Ubisoft Platforms: PC Release Date: Early 2020
Set in 2029, this colourful game imagines a world where the most popular sport is the titular Roller Champions. Players compete in teams of three as they race around oval tracks trying to score as many goals as they can, while racking up as many laps as possible. There is the ability to tackle, but also the ability to dodge in stylish fashion.
Skatebird
Developer: Glass Bottom Games Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux Release Date: TBA
Since we're unlikely to ever be getting a new Skate, one indie is working on the next best thing: Skatebird. This skateboarding game features all the tricks, flips and kicks you expect, but the rider is a little bird and everything he's skating on has been made from household objects. The Kickstarter for this was announced earlier this week and already passed its goal of $15,000 (currently near $24,000).
Spiritfarer
Developer: Thunder Lotus Games Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch Release Date: 2020
In this cartoonish but touching adventure, players take on the role as the ferryman carrying recently departed souls on to the next world. While the souls are of human beings, they appear as animals that represent their personalities. Players can befriend them, develop relationships, and expand and improve the houseboat carrying them to the other side in a story that drives a message of acceptance.
Spaceteam VR
Developer: Cooperative Innovations Platforms: TBC Release Date: TBC
A virtual reality adaptation of a mobile game previously covered on NVGOTD. The concept is much the same: a group of players are aboard a spaceship, each in charge of certain controls labelled in made up space jargon. Each player is given a set of instructions that relates to another players' controls, but they don't know who. The only way out to find out is to shout out "Soak the Ferrous Holospecturm" or "Set the Sigmaclapper to 0" (for example) and hope everyone else is paying attention. If the team fails to follow instructions, the ship crashes.
Starmancer
Developer: Ominux Games Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux Release Date: Q1 2020
Starmancer is a building and management game that sees you constructing and maintaining a space station, but rather than playing some invisible God-like being (i.e. yourself) like you do in The Sims, this time you have a role to play. The game casts you as the station's AI and tasks you with sustaining a crew of colonists as they attempt to reach a new world on which they can build their home. Once the colony is complete, players can send out their humans to mine asteroids, trade with other factions and even explore ancient alien ruins.
Steep
Developer: Ubisoft Annecy Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Release Date: Out Now
Another previous NVGOTD recommendation, this extreme winter sports title from Ubisoft is still going strong. This week the publisher announced a free new map set in Japan, giving players a whole new course to master.
Supermarket Shriek
Developer: Billy Goat Entertainment Platforms: PC, Xbox One Release Date: July 9, 2019
Don't worry, that's not blood -- it's paint. I was confused too. Supermarket Shriek is a kart racer (of sorts) where you control a man and a goat in a shopping trolley. Designed to ideally be played by two people (one as the goat, one as the man), each person has a microphone and must scream into it to turn in their direction to steer around a variety of complicated courses, all set in unsuspecting and previously tidy shops. There is, of course, a two-button control scheme for players who want to try it themselves.
Telling Lies
Developer: Sam Barlow Platforms: PC, Mac Release Date: 2019
From the creator of the superb Her Story comes a fresh live-action narrative adventure with far grander ambitions. Players explore videos stored on a hard drive stolen from the National Security Agency as they try to understand why the four characters have been played under electronic surveillance. As with Her Story, they can search for keywords to access new videos but this time they need to piece together timelines and events to interpret what they have seen.
The Curious Tale of Stolen Pets
Developer: Fast Travel Games Platforms: PlayStation VR, Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality Release Date: 2019
This single player adventure game is a puzzle-centric affair set on tiny floating worlds that come from the imagination of a child and their grandfather. Players grab, push, drop and spin objects found in each world searching for clues that will reveal what happened to the missing pets.
The Elder Scolls Legends
Developer: Bethesda Platforms: PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS, Android Release Date: Out Now
This digital card battler sees you pitting monsters and creatures from the world of Bethesda's hit RPG series against each other. The big E3 news for this game is a new expansion, Moons of Elsweyr, introducing new cards and a storyline themed around the home of the cat-like Khajiit people.
The Good Life
Developer: White Owls Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Release Date: Autumn 2019
Positioned as a "debt management life RPG", The Good Life puts players in the role of New York journalist Naomi, who has to move to a small British town to pay off her debts. The only way to do so is ben taking pictures of what happens in the town and reporting on them, but the closer she watches the local inhabitants, the quicker she realises that all is not as it seems.
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Games
Developer: Fantasy Flight Interactive, Asmodee Digital Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch Release Date: August 8, 2019
Another digital card battler, but one based on the timeless works of JRRTolkien. Inspired by the real card game, this uses the animation and interactivity of video games to liven matches up. Players collect a deck of heroes from across Middle-Earth as they battle the forces of Sauron in card form.
The Sims 4: Island Living
Developer: The Sims Studio, Maxis Platforms: PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One Release Date: June 21 (Desktop), July 16 (Consoles)
The newest expansion for The Sims 4 gives players the chance to build their dream island palace, as well as watch their Sims take part in more tropical activities. They'll be able to kit out their characters in local island clothing, instruct them to lounge on the beach, or encourage them to befriend the native dolphins. There are also water sports, like canoeing, swimming and surfing, plus occupations to train up for, like the beach-cleaning conservationist.
The Wardrobe - Even Better Edition
Developer: CINIC Games Platforms: PC Release Date: June 7, 2019
The Wardrobe is a point-and-click adventure inspired by the classic LucasArts titles like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle. It tells the story of Skinny, a boy died from an allergy to plums (that he didn't know about) and became a skeleton that lives in his friend Ronald's wardrobe. Skinny secretly watches over Ronald and helps him in life, but events force him to reveal himself. Even Better Edition adds joypad support, more achievements, a new save system and other improvements.
Totem Teller
Developer: Grinning Pickle Platforms: Xbox One, PC Release Date: 2020
Described by the developer as an "antinarrative video game", Totem Teller puts you in the role of a muse seeking inspiration. They roam the land in search of lost folklore, investigating strange distortions and retelling stories to any listeners they gather around them -- or allowing the stories to be forgotten forever. The surreal painted visual style gives it a storybook feel.
Way to the Woods
Developer: Anthony Tan Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch Release Date: 2020
This beautiful game sees players controlling one of two deer wandering through a post-apocalyptic landscape in search of safety. As they explore the ruins of civilisation, they'll encounter other friendly creatures such as racoons and cats, but a black goo that corrupts everything it touches continues to spread around them. Only by solving puzzles and finding new ways forward can they hope to escape.
Yoga Master
Developer: Oxygene Media Platforms: PS4 Release Date: Summer 2019
Developed in collaboration with professional yoga coaches, this game features more than 150 different poses for players to master and a variety of serene environments to practice in. There are over yoga programs to follow or you can create your own, and the game will be regularly updated with new content.

Research 10- films
Wreck it Ralph- Wreck it Ralph is a Disney film about a video game character that decides to stop being a villain and travels to different games. This works really well with my game theme as it's one of the few pieces of media to use the concept of being from the wrong game, and it also has both an alien area and a "candy" area which is a game called sugar rush. This part in particular would be a great source of inspiration as the entire world is made of candy and food.
The character of Ralph too is very clearly not from that game, his design is much simpler than that of the racers from sugar rush, he is much taller and also quite blocky which reflects the fact he came from a pixelated retro game.
Things to take note of for inspiration on the candy part of the game/ending, Candy cane trees, lollypop trees, marshmallow bushes, road/ground is made of all sorts such as waffle cones, chocolate, wafer, water is coloured like soda or bright colours.
The citizens are also things like biscuits, mints and chocolates, all with the stands as their boxes saying what they are and made to look like brands.
Some of the foods talk by saying what they are, kind of like Pokémon which is something that would be quite cute for the food characters at the end of my game.
Cloudy and a chance of meatballs- This is a film I actually haven't watched yet but it does an incredible job at bringing the food to life as characters. The burger for example is really well done as the sauce appears as teeth and the fries are legs creating a spider. The designs feels very natural and not forced like a lot of food combination creatures may appear as. I really like how they have used onion to make the teeth on the taco too.
Wall-E- I really like how Earth is shown in this film. It is essentially a wasteland full of trash and rubbish which makes everything feel very desolate and lonely. All the buildings are in rubble and it is abandoned which fits the aesthetic for the factory. Everything on Earth has a yellow tint which makes the world feel dry and dirty.

Why Use Sleeves?
Bare card shufflers. We’ve all seen them, crinkling their cards, whitening the corners, bending the rarest and most powerful additions to their collection.
Take pity, for these youngin’s don’t know any better. Playing competitively, even if it’s on the local level, is a different beast than the sidewalk card slinging most kids start with.
Whereas playing without sleeves might be the only way to play when it’s you and your friends on the kitchen table, at lunch, or outside, that won’t fly at your Saturday tournament. You’re going to want to sleeve up your cards for a number of very good reasons.
Protection
For one, sleeves protect your cards. I’ve got Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from the very first set, released all the way back in 2001, that have stayed with me across all these years in pristine condition. How? I made sure to sleeve them up (in Dragon Shield, no less).
Whether you’re protecting your collection in a binder, or playing regularly, wear and tear is inevitable. Trading cards are made of flimsy material, after all: cardboard and ink. Keep your cards in mint condition through vigorous play by sleeving up.
What are sleeves?
Sleeves are plastic containers designed to fit trading cards to take the brunt of any surface you might play on. Sticky table? You can replace a sleeve a lot easier than a $50 card. Sleeves come in “standard” size, typical for Magic: the Gathering, Pokémon, and most other cards, and “Japanese” size, perfect for Yu-Gi-Oh!
New brands of sleeves hit the market every year, from Ultra Pro to Ultimate Guard, Dragon Shield and Max Protection. How do you know which is best? Practice. Trial and error.
The perfect sleeve comes down to your budget and your experience. Try them all and see what feels best in your hands. What makes you want to play again? That’s the right one for you.
In my case, Dragon Shield has always been the go-to. I remember saving up to buy my first pack of Dragon Shields back in my days as a card shop squatter (where they eventually put me to work, seeing as how I was there all the time anyway).
Picking out the color was an all-week decision. I eventually went with black.
I’ve tried other sleeves over the years, but always end up coming back to Dragon Shield. I still have that deck sleeved up and ready to go, almost fifteen years later. In my experience, Dragon Shield quality can’t be beat.
Sleeves can come with matte backs and glossy, smooth backs. The fronts are almost always clear.
Matte sleeves have a slightly duller color without a sheen or shine, but give a more robust shuffling feel. They don’t slip or slide as easily, and are scratch resistant.
Glossy sleeves are bright and reflective, but take a few games to stop sliding. Long-term use can result in scratching, but many prefer these to mattes.
Perfect Fit sleeves provide even more protection. Regular sleeves have space between your card and the edge of the sleeve, which still allows for the possibility of damage.
While you can never totally remove this possibility, Perfect Fit sleeves provide an extra layer of protection by going over your cards and into a regular sleeve. Some call this double sleeving. Perfect Fit come in clear, smoke, top loading and side loading. Smoke sleeves from Dragon Shield, obscure the card backs for honest gaming.
Cheating
That brings us to the second good reason to sleeve up: cheating. I’m sure you aren’t a cheater, but cheating is indeed an issue in competitive play.
Sleeving your cards in an opaque color so that you can’t see the card back is usually the recommendation at higher levels of competitive play, but this is at the discretion of the Head Judge. Some players mark their cards with knicks, patterns, or designs to gain extra knowledge of where to cut the deck, or what’s coming up in their draw next turn.
Don’t be surprised: sleeve up your cards fresh for each major event (for local events, judges usually aren’t anywhere near as strict).
Personal Expression
The third reason to sleeve up is a bit more superficial, but equally as important: personality. Finding the right sleeve color, pattern, design, and material is part of the fun of card gaming.
Each Dragon Shield dragon has a name, a backstory, and special abilities that fit into an overall narrative. It’s fun to read the back of the boxes to catch up on the lore and choose based on which characters are coolest.
Nothing quite beats sleeving up a new deck with a fresh pack of sleeves. In-person card gaming, as opposed to digital card gaming, offers a tactile pleasure. You feel it in your hands. Picking out a new color, finding the right brand… it’s all part of what makes card gaming one of the greatest hobbies ever.

Some Of The Fresh Wallpapers From Your Unreleased 2016 Phones
Cavern Story made a great deal of enthusiasts, although some can find satisfaction going right on through Pixel's again directory and playing smaller-range activities like Ikachan and Azarashi $0.99, or playing through Pixel's throw-em-up Guxt, many waited anxiously regarding another sport while in the same vein. They should permit so I may then re conect on my new sport on android people to move a player tags funds after which eliminate that recreation data from machine this type of ache and uni fare I feel. It truly is worth writing that in Period 6, instance three — during one of Arya's training sessions — she only says three titles: The Mountain Cersei, and Frey Frey. We will possibly still need to import as usually you'll find licensing difficulties in technically delivering for the western a crossover string regarding a great number of permits or to obtain the game electronic from the regional PSN. Virtually all characters from the sport that is initial involve some type of alternative that may be unlocked. Mobile phones for Nokia and Samsung India not merely convey individuals together but additionally offer a number of different functions.

Litten, Torracat and Incineroar
I have a little personal conjecture about how Incineroar was designed.
Game Freak deeply, sincerely, earnestly didn’t mean to make a fourth Fire/Fighting starter Pokémon. They were just going to sit down and come up with some unique, entertaining and vaguely Hawaiian-inspired Fire-type. But then Incineroar just rose up, unbidden, out of the primal mists of Game Freak’s collective id, embedded himself in their tortured psyches, and refused to leave. Aware that they were making another Fire/Fighting starter Pokémon, but horrified by their inability to stop, they desperately called on Yveltal for help, and the vicious and cunning death god answered their prayers by corrupting Incineroar into a brutal Dark-type.
I mean, obviously some of that is speculative, but I think the general outline is close.
Litten, Torracat and Incineroar are our Alolan Fire-type starter Pokémon line. As Fire-type cat Pokémon they are a little in danger of being a sequel to generation VI’s Litleo and Pyroar, but fortunately their final stage, Incineroar, takes a very different direction. Litten is a kitten whose oily fur is highly flammable, causing him to hawk up flaming hairballs. That’s… a bit of a weird fighting style, but at least an elegant way of bringing the Fire element to a cat Pokémon, so we’ll call it a win. Likewise, instead of shedding hair all over the place, Litten just sets all his fur on fire and burns it up in seconds (something I occasionally wish my cat could do). Litten’s notoriously withdrawn and standoffish nature is appropriately cattish as well, and possibly meant to anticipate his eventual evolution into a Dark-type. That progresses to a highly aggressive, but simultaneously petulant, attitude in Torracat (again, not unlike a bad-tempered housecat…). Torracat’s most distinctive physical feature is the little fiery bell at his throat, actually his fire-producing organ, which makes a ringing sound when Torracat uses his powers. Presumably this mimics the bells that cat owners sometimes give their pets to warn off prey, which I suppose constitutes another interesting way of manifesting Torracat’s Fire type. It’s unfortunate that it doesn’t go anywhere, though; Incineroar loses the bell for a flaming navel and fiery belt. I would have liked it if Torracat’s bell somehow manifested in Incineroar’s wrestler design as the bell that rings between rounds of a wrestling match; it seems like a really good opportunity to unify the design that was missed. There are a lot of cat Pokémon now (Meowth in two regional forms, Skitty, Shinx, Glameow, Purrloin, Litleo, Espurr…) and to be honest Litten and Torracat don’t do enough on their own to convince me that we needed another, but it’s Incineroar who was tasked with taking this design in a new direction. So let’s talk about that.
Incineroar has the species designation “the Heel Pokémon,” which makes pretty clear that we’re dealing with the evil counterpart to Hawlucha – a Pokémon based on a villainous persona from the world of professional wrestling. Incineroar comes from a similar masked wrestler tradition to Hawlucha, where a mask is supposed to give you a whole new identity to fight under, and you fight for the honour of that identity (often a totemic animal). Incineroar, as a villainous version of this idea, is not only a jerk, but ostentatiously a jerk, specifically going out of his way to be destructive and chaotic, just as a heel is supposed to. I’ve seen people specifically locate Incineroar’s inspiration with one Japanese wrestler in particular – or rather, one masked persona, used by five wrestlers over the years: Tiger Mask. And at first I was sceptical, but the deeper I go down this particular rabbit hole the more I think he probably is iconic enough in Japanese pop culture to actually be referenced by a Pokémon design (besides, according to the WWE website “it would be difficult to overstate [his] influence,” and I try not to question heavily-muscled men in capes and speedos). The only problem is that Tiger Mask is emphatically not a heel. The wrestling persona was originally inspired by a 1968 manga, where the character was a Japanese wrestler who had played heel in the United States and turned “face” when he returned home, but the real-world Tiger Mask has always been a heroic character, as have his anime adaptations (because of course there is a Tiger Mask anime; there was even a reboot last year). There is a corresponding heel character called the Black Tiger, who has a red-and-black colour scheme in the anime, but he doesn’t seem to be as well known, and also the wrestler was arrested for drug smuggling back in 2012 (this is the kind of trivia I just know now; SEND HELP). Anyway, if you were going to create a Pokémon that paid homage to the Tiger Mask mythos, why go for the derivative villain rather than the iconic hero? Something about it doesn’t quite ring true – and kinda brings me back to my (only partly tongue-in-cheek) introduction.
I had a whole debate with Jim the Editor over what Incineroar’s type should be, because his feeling is that it doesn’t make sense for this Pokémon not to be a Fighting-type, that Incineroar’s Dark-type traits are secondary to – dependent on – his Fighting-type traits; as a heel wrestler, he can’t be a villain without first being a martial artist. He’s typed wrong, and this is a blemish on the design. My counterargument was that the concept of a heel involves an element of theatricality that you could say makes them primarily villains and only secondarily fighters (i.e. pro wrestling is fake; fite me irl). I’m also inherently disposed to liking this line of reasoning because I have a pre-existing idea that one of the characteristic traits of Fighting Pokémon is that they are supposed to be honourable, so it actually makes a great deal of sense for an ostentatiously villainous Pokémon like Incineroar to be specifically excluded from the type. Having said that, “Fighting = Honour” isn’t exactly an obvious inference from any official source, and doesn’t fit all Fighting Pokémon (i.e. f#&%ing Primeape), so if you don’t particularly buy into my personal brand of nonsense, Fire/Fighting is arguably a better fit than Fire/Dark for Incineroar – probably because they started from “wrestler” and then looked for ways to justify a type other than Fire/Fighting, rather than actually starting from an idea that was demonstrably Fire/Dark. Jim the Editor’s suggestion for such an idea, to be submitted here to the court of public opinion, was to have Incineroar be a sort of arsonist/con artist, starting fires outside to draw attention and lure people out of their homes while gangs of Litten and Torracat plunder all their stuff (Incineroar could easily pull off a sort of circus strongman or ringmaster look that would be appropriate to this concept with only minor physical changes). Litten in this scheme could then be street performers and pickpockets, which gives them a more interesting identity too. Feel free to heap scorn on this idea in the comments, lest Jim get a swelled head. That’s enough on the design and flavour side, though; I should get on with how Incineroar works.
Incineroar is a physical tank in the tradition of Ursaring or Machamp: you’re slow and can’t avoid hits, but in theory you can survive them long enough to hit back. This is an odd thing for a Fire Pokémon to be, and arguably the only pre-generation VII Pokémon who can even do it are Emboar and Arcanine (no, Magcargo and Torkoal, you do not count), so we’re in a field with little competition. His hidden ability is Intimidate, which would be a wonderful thing for a Pokémon like this to have (or, well, almost any Pokémon to have; a free attack debuff every time you switch in is just really good), but alas, for the moment this is not to be, so we’ll have to make do with the generic Fire-type starter ability, Blaze. Incineroar has a really solid selection of attacks; in addition to his Dark-type signature moves, he gets Flare Blitz, Earthquake and Cross Chop, all powerful attacks that threaten an excellent variety of types. Outrage is interesting, but probably not recommended; Dragon attacks have great neutral type coverage, but that’s not one of Incineroar’s flaws anyway, and they hit almost nothing super-effectively (not to mention that being locked into Outrage can stop being fun abruptly). For some reason, Incineroar can learn Leech Life, which Sun and Moon buffed into a surprisingly solid attack, and honestly, health drain is probably quite a good thing for a Pokémon with Incineroar’s stat profile to have. Alternatively, U-Turn is also on offer as a source of Bug-type damage and tactical flexibility; it does less damage, but Incineroar isn’t short of power moves anyway, and being able to tank an attack for the Pokémon you’re switching in is a decent use of Incineroar’s bulk. Swords Dance is there too, to send his attack stat into the stratosphere, but bear in mind that Incineroar is just not fast enough to sweep anything. It really hurts in general that he’s so slow, and that Fire/Dark is not a great defensive combination: Fire attacks are great; being weak to Rock, Water and Ground is decidedly not, and Dark adds a nasty Fighting weakness to boot.
If you are inclined to buck Fire Pokémon stereotypes and push the defensive, tanky side of Incineroar, there are some support options that he can take for that, although it is maybe a bit of a waste of his excellent physical attack stat. Will’o’Wisp is nice because burns cripple physical attackers, and doubly nice if we can eventually get Intimidate on him. Taunt can stop support Pokémon from messing with you, but again, his poor speed hurts; you ideally want Taunt on a fast Pokémon that can actually anticipate and counter a support move, not just shut them down after the fact. Bulk Up might be interesting, especially in combination with Will’o’Wisp or Leech Life; Incineroar is already far from a pushover defensively, so if your opponent seems to be missing special attackers that can easily take him out, there might be some merit to going all in on buffs. Body Slam is nicely thematic, and being able to paralyse opponents is good for Incineroar and probably for the rest of your team too; it’s just unfortunate that Normal attacks are terrible. In an entirely different vein, you could try to turn him into a sort of bastardised surprise physical sweeper by speeding him up with Flame Charge. It’s no Agility, and the move itself is so weak that you do pretty much have to pack a second Fire attack (there’s no room for, say, Swords Dance), but if you play your hand close to your chest you might be able to confuse someone to death in the late game. Finally, Incineroar does get Nasty Plot, with a passable selection of special attacks (Flamethrower/Fire Blast/Overheat with Dark Pulse and Focus Blast), but unlike Decidueye his base special attack score is average at best, so the very most I would suggest is putting Overheat on a physical attacker set to maybe surprise a physical wall (bonus points if you make a Z-move out of it).
Because Incineroar is a pro wrestler, and pro wrestlers have a love for signature moves that goes beyond all logic and common sense, he has not one, but two: Darkest Lariat and Throat Chop. Of these, Darkest Lariat is the one you generally want. It’s actually one of the strongest Dark-type attacks in the game, though I should stress that this isn’t saying much, since Dark has no really high-powered attacks. Darkest Lariat helpfully ignores defence and evasion bonuses, and until recently I might have written that off as mostly useful for screwing with the AI, since defence and evasion buffs aren’t common in competitive games. Specifically in doubles, though, Darkest Lariat does have the peculiar advantage of beating the living $#!t out of the infamous Infinite Defence Palossand (of course, Palossand also has Ground attacks to blow up Incineroar, but it’s something). The other signature move is Throat Chop, and this is much more niche. It’s slightly less powerful than Darkest Lariat, and has the unusual effect of disabling the target’s sonic attacks by striking them in the windpipe. There aren’t a lot of powerful or common sound moves, so Throat Chop is mostly useful against a few Normal-type special attackers, like Exploud and Pyroar, who use Hyper Voice as a major source of damage. However, I do find it really amusing that Throat Chop can quite badly screw over Incineroar’s Water-type counterpart, Primarina, by disabling her Sparkling Aria. In practice you still wouldn’t choose to take that fight as Incineroar, because Primarina might just have a different Water attack, but it’s interesting that the designers built in this little reversal of the standard Grass-Fire-Water starter dynamic. As far as I can tell, Decidueye doesn’t have any similar thematic advantage over Incineroar, nor Primarina over Decidueye.
I’m not as convinced by Litten, Torracat and Incineroar overall as I am by Rowlet, Dartrix and Decidueye. They have the same sudden, fairly radical shift to a different sort of design at the third stage that I noticed in Dartrix, but it doesn’t quite fit as well – there isn’t really anything tiger-like about Incineroar (tigers being famously ambush hunters), probably because he’s tiger-via-masked-wrestler, but then again, Hawlucha’s the same thing, and her human and animal inspirations do slot together a bit better because of the focus of lucha libre on “aerial” moves. And… well, to be honest, the whole “slow physical bruiser” thing just hasn’t been a great game plan for most Pokémon who’ve tried it in the past; Emboar has never been especially prominent, and Incineroar is trying to do something fairly similar. I mean, there’s nothing I think is especially poorly done here, but not a lot that excites me. I’m calling this one a solid meh-out-of-ten.

[REVIEW]: Pokémon Ethereal Gates Demo
(Based on thoughts before finishing the demo)
Every now and then you come across a diamond in the rough; a game you think shouldn't be good after you experienced the horrors of the fee to play Brick Bronze and the terrors of setting up Rejuvenation, but actually is pretty good. That, ladies and gentlemen, is this game, or demo as it were.
The game isn't flawless, but it is without a doubt one of the greatest experiences I've had with a fanmade Pokémon game period. It is clear the developers have put a lot of time and effort into their game. Let's begin by saying the game offers a promised lineup of over 200 brand new Pokémon to toy around with. Each of these Fakemon looks like an actual Pokémon that could seriously exist. I've already picked out my favorites of course, those being Fernling, Avinch and Polbee. Each is unique and interesting design-wise, even if a few suffer from the unfortunate but necessary "Early Game Syndrome".
The characters are just as interesting as the Pokémon if not moreso, but for sake of time I'll only talk about a few of them. There are two rivals in this game. On one hand you have April, the nerdy girl who likes going on her adventure solely for the research. Though she chooses the starter weaker to yours, her character is what really shines through, much like Hau from Sun and Moon. She actually reminds me a lot of Bianca from Black and White, which any character that makes me think of my favorite Pokémon games ever gets a gold star. She's a great character to the narrative. On the other hand you have your "true" rival, August. Words cannot express how much I hate this kid, though I hate him for all the right reasons. Basically I hate him the same way I hate Blue or Silver who really are great characters simply because they succeed in making the player hate them. August is impatient, whiney and selfish, not to mention he explicitly states that he will pick the starter Pokémon strong against yours simply to make himself feel better about himself. I want to beat up his pet fire cat to a bloody pulp whenever we meet, and when a character can bring out such primal rage in me, you know we have an amazing character on our hands!
As for the evil team, Team Mythos, we don't know too much about them quite yet but they are shaping up to be interesting villains. Perhaps not exactly memorable since they have yet to really show off their personalities to us or have yet to do something memorable, but I have high hopes in the development team that they can pull off something good.
The graphics are incredible too. The bright colors are a welcome change from the dull and uninteresting colors of the multitude of Pokémon fangames that try to be edgy and adult. Though swears are present here, the game never once tries to be darker than it actually is. The Leneka region is never about blowing up trains or destroying ships with Deoxys tentacles, it's about the brightest and fun you can have in the world. This is what Pokémon is all about: a welcoming world to explore, and the graphics here do an amazing job at showcasing this. As for the graphics in battle, most Pokémon are vibrantly animated and feel like they are actual creatures and not just still pictures. They are beautiful.
Also, as a side note, gone are the mini sprites of Pokémon when looking at them in your party or PC. Replacing them are headshots of the Pokémon which are arguably better than sprites in official Pokémon games since it's easier to find and recognize a Pokémon in a PC with a picture of its head.
I've gone this entire review without once mentioning the incredible soundtrack this game comes packing with. Let's fix that. Whoever made the music in this game needs to be given a raise because hot damn. Almost every track in this game is great and fits the colorful theme of Ethereal Gates. And the battle themes are even better with this game having possibly a greater trainer battle theme than Sun and Moon. The town/city themes are great and really make you feel comfortable and Hawthorne's theme is calming and welcoming. Of course there are some tracks I think could be better like the Pokémon Center theme or the rival battle theme. This could simply be a case of aquired taste however, but I just feel as if there are instruments missing. Again though, most tracks are spot on.
Any issues I had with the game are my fault and my fault alone. Originally I was curious as to why the HP of my Pokémon wasn't showing up anywhere but in the summary, and that's when I realized I had forgotten to install the new fonts. Oops. Another was the massive amount of lag I endured while playing the game, but that was just my old PC being old. Though as a piece of constructive criticism, having different quality levels available so people with older PCs can play optimally wouldn't be half bad an idea.
The only real issue I could see other people having was how jarring sending out Pokémon is. When they burst out of their Poké Ball, their sprites become huge for a split second before turning into their regular sizes. Hopefully this is fixed when the full game is released so it feels a little less clunky.
But for the most part, the game is very, very promising. I legit cannot wait to explore the rest of the Leneka region and fight the rest of the Gym Leaders. I want to see the amazing things this game has to offer and I want to discover each and every single unique and interesting new Pokémon hiding in the mountains, fields and oceans of Leneka. I truly wish the best for the developers in their venture to see this game completed.
9/10
If you like what you read and want to support them, go follow them here: @pokemonetherealgates. The demo and game are free as well, so that’s something worth celebrating.

Warhammer 40K Dev On Xbox And PS4 NEO One Electricity Variances, ‘Numerous AspectsI Will
Court papers registered in OraclesHA patent infringement suit against Google and its Android systems that are operating demonstrate that the private coverage of Google is to let pick Android OEMs get chosen usage of the smartphone OS. The files exclusively report Motorola—the same Motorola Yahoo has reported it'll purchase—and Verizon, which could properly be used like a struggle of fascination by the different OEMs of Yahoo. I did sonot know if at this time he got the sport or just ready again there till I dropped awareness and gone aside. The complete sport somewhat emits a Mario Kart-like experience also, that is constantly a-plus, and the sport is quite wonderful. That being said, muchas I enjoy cell gaming, between battle-to-the-bottom, FTP and games being consistently broken by OS changes, we regrettably nolonger see it to be in a position to support the somewhat higher-budget advanced games later on and eventually exchange the infrastructure of portables. Be informed, there are several points in this game that may not be suitable for everybody!!! It keeps the fundamentals of games that are Pokémon past — catching Pokémon, battling at Gyms, using items, developing your animals — having an insane angle: You're all carrying it out all-in real life. The Samsung $649 ATIV 500T ($769 having keyboard connect), like different Intel Atom based drugs, could operate most Windows applications: meaning x86ANDWindows-7 apps much like another complete Windows pc. The latter is of attention to Zelnick, who wants to view parity across portable and system types, consequently to not present a weaker solution to smartphone consumers. I believe that desire is boiled down seriously to by the main distinctions between Android and iOS supporters. The Xbox One isn't simply able to create definitely better hunting games the Xbox you have on loads of situations made 1080p games. they appear to know once they reach that stage of the game although We never tell these difficulties to the venture communities. Course's developer,, is creators of the augmented-reality game Ingress on which Pokémon Go's engineering and layout is situated, Niantic, earlier an internal start-up at Google. The 3D method lets you view the whole ninety moments from start to finish as you are currently seeing a system sport doing his thing. You will be able to utilize simple time that is portable with single variety through the cell phones lifestyle. Different new features declared today are the capability to revise gameplay and sport economy parameters in games instantly without having to post a new type of an application to Yahoo Perform, as well as a new service that offers designers the ability to estimate which consumers are most likely to invest profit their games (or drop out). We looked-for an employee to available the shelving that were secured together with the game racks inside and walked straight to the technology division. Should the research work in their favor, the sport could possibly be involved in to a significant employment programme that provides 1,500 new hires to the enterprise each year. http://elveszettszepseg.info feel like unless recreation remotes for cellular became a convention or several new insight product that is groundbreaking were designed, anyone nevertheless will not get the type of finetuned rapid -response you receive from controller inputs that are console. Anyone got a spot there, if peopleis requirement is just a replicated of the initial game. This week I used to be floored by person movies regarding Stop Fort, a-game that could be just like Minecraft in visuals but has so much hidden range when I pick up an ipadmini that it will likely be my initial iOS DL week that was next. If having built in actual remotes Apple previously decides to produce a device I believe Mobile gambling will get a good possibility of being taken seriously. Stopper your Android smartphone in via Flash, when the files are in your Windows pc, where you can choose Available product to view information and you ought to get a pop up screen. As you Can easily see, there's plenty of fps togo about and also the recreation must manage effortlessly sufficient on low detail on the low-end equipment. I had been in the retailer considering Android drugs and there's about 500 of them, numerous using HUGELY different rates and unique UIis. Everyone cannot purchase mobiles that are pricey so each business generating greatest and low-cost phones, now in indian cheap mobiles marketplace very tuff. The rising star of mulitchannel retail is cell, according to your study of U.S. and U.K. people executed by way of a digital marketing class Econsultancy it is not a really stunning discovering — presented the capabilities and pervasiveness of today's smartphones — however the results underline the expanding role phones are enjoying in buyers' life. Felton Rezz in the activities that are first has-been updated to be the twin brother of Grimroth in the film. Worse, people linked to Stylish say, improvement on the recreation is consistently abandoned by Stieglitzis interference. Each one of these gives its own distinctive advantages to some child while holding mobiles are available in a variety of different requirements and sorts. After FIVE years (SIX in the event that you rely the original Intel statement), it is period the builders end horsing about and acquire their programs uptodate. It had beennever frustrating like many fatalities of Recreation of Thrones are, nevertheless it was however heartbreaking. I do believe LOTS OF activities would work great on portable with some adjustments for the podium. Should you pop in a brand new hard-drive, deploy Snow Leopard, while you explained subsequently import Your Own Time Appliance back-up, which should operate great also. Bingis risk is the fact that by determined by adopters to manufacture the components and adjust the OS, the user may derive not get themselves of Yahoo's sources and the OS for their private use. However it generally does not fit for the control, already tried with the PS3 my iPad and controller Sport!!! The point that set back out game one of the most was modeling and animating the Pokemon. Most TELLY string H five devices that are mobile are not low in excellent and facilitates dual-SIM (GSM) element. Well claimed, and I consider they presently do, using the expansion of mobile gambling in their home country. He once informed some kiddies when a game is preordered sufficient it often can come previously away. Besides Battlefield 1 because from your PlayStation age I can't consider that anymore regardless of this being World War 1 and till around three years into the Xbox 360 Console it had been nothing but World War Two shooters.

Pokemon hacked
In Sunlight and also Moon, you play as an 11-year old boy or lady that relocates from Kanto, the area of the initial games, to an exotic heaven referred to as Alola. It’s a tiny yet informing narrative choice that lights up the pitch Game Fanatic is making towards O.G. followers: exactly what you liked isn’t really being disposed of; it’s simply obtaining a spin.
Sunlight and also Moon additionally present a couple of brand-new asides, though I was let down by their absence of consequence. You could currently take pictures of wild beasts, a la Pokémon Break, however the range is minimal and also the racking up for imagination is horrible. All the photo attribute desires you to do is to take close-up photos where the animal is. Brief computer animation loopholes suggests that as soon as you have actually broken a couple of photos, there’s very little to do any longer. Uninteresting! Worse, regardless of proactively searching for digital photography areas, I just discovered a couple of in my lots of hrs of play.
Pokemon go hack
“Event Plaza” presents a social center where actual instructors could buy products as well as communicate with each other, Miitomo-style. While the discussion behaves, there isn’t really much to do. “Pokémon Pelago” will likely confirm to be one of the most helpful of the number, as it gives gamers with personal islands where Pokemon Unblocked could hang around, gather products, train, or even come across wild beasts. Pelago Island growth is connected to the variety of pokemon hacked roms you possess, which is a sharp means of inspiring gamers to record even more animals. However, I located myself consistently attempting these attributes for testimonial, and also none really felt enjoyable. Also the hyped Z-Moves included in much of the advertising and marketing left me chilly: sure, they’re fancy, yet they’re simply souped-up relocations. Absolutely nothing groundbreaking.
The test plan makes Sunlight as well as Moon extra structured, as well. You constantly have actually a plainly specified course as well as objective throughout your journeys. In practice, Sunlight as well as Moon go with even more routine fights of note versus crucial personalities, instead of constantly tossing arbitrary combative NPCs versus you. The beats you involve anticipate from a pokemon hacked rom download game, like the unpreventable face-off versus a bad cumulative, still occur– yet Sunlight as well as Moon specify quicker, as well as with even more beauty. The brand-new games exude a certain personal appeal that’s recognizable in everything, from rainbow-colored message, to the jokester Pokedex with a mind of its very own.
The Alola area provides Pokémon-training as part of deeply-rooted practice. In older games, it never ever rather made good sense for youngsters to become dog-fighting wanderers. In Sunlight as well as Moon, that trip is clearly a maturing routine, and also it has actually been done with generations of individuals. Selecting a starter beast and also obtaining a competing feeling much less like a pokemon hacked android convention as well as even more like a social method based in history.
Pokemon sun and moon
On a smaller sized range, I constantly really felt encouraged to find even more pokemon hacked roms download, interested to see if any one of my faves had actually been spruced up. Alolan types such as Dugtrio with long, delicious hair, or an Exeggutor with a happily lengthy neck program Game Fanatic plainly enjoying with Pokémon styles. The fully-new Alola-exclusive Pokémon are likewise properly designed. Animals like haunted sandcastles as well as toucan-inspired pokemon go take Alola’s setup seriously, however couple of obtained me thrilled similarly the local variations did. I captured myself maintaining groups of mainly old Pokémon till I made an initiative to concentrate on the brand-new staff. To Alola’s debt, I have actually discovered how to enjoy them, also. Proclaim to Rockruff and also Bewear, 2 Pokémon that are cuter compared to they have any type of right to be. I have actually invested even more time compared to I like confess aiming to synthetic a group that’s both proficient and also remarkable.
I have actually played Pokémon games considering that Red as well as Blue as well as have never ever had my group pale or resemble collapse as usually as I performed in Sunlight and also Moon. The brand-new games required me to make use of real techniques versus the computer system. For as soon as, the single-player in a Pokémon game made me care much more concerning movesets, turn order, as well as group makeup. It’s an exhilarating modification that highlights the intricacy underlying a collection that is amusingly described as a kids’s game.
While the systems at the heart of Pokémon are mainly acquainted, Sunlight and also Moon stimulate lots of intrigue. After discovering an unidentified beast from a various measurement, you laid out to figure out even more concerning where it comes from. This is exactly how Sunlight as well as Moon present the raw as well as mystical ultra monsters, whose objectives or even nature– are they Pokémon?– are uncertain. Sunlight and also Moon are the unusual Pokémon games where I appreciated discovering the tale, and also I state this in spite of the simple and also mawkish writing.
Pokemon online
Rather, the enhancements I valued one of the most were refined, lifestyle information. Pokémon currently cautions you when you will aggro an NPC right into fight. Rather than being pointless irreversible relocations, HMs have actually been changed with “costs” that allow you call a Pokémon to help you with things like browsing and also flying. If your pal obtains a condition disorder throughout fight, rather than losing a product you could simply execute some fight aftercare to treat their health problem. While none of these additions are advanced, they collaborate to strengthen the strong fight technicians.
The substantial appeal of 1996’s Pokémon Red as well as Blue has actually cast a lengthy darkness over the Pokémon collection. Much of the fanbase relies on the prevalence of the initial 151 beasts, and also offered 2016’s Pokémon Go sensation– which just had the preliminary actors– that can say? With the most recent Pokémon games, Sunlight and also Moon, Game Fanatic plays wonderful with that said fact, welcoming followers on a getaway that commemorates (yet likewise changes) what individuals enjoy regarding pocket beasts.
As constantly, the mass of these brand-new Pokémon games is invested hammering out turn-based fights. Some begin with arbitrary experiences. Others you launch versus fitness instructors such as on your own. In the wild, you could catch a lot more animals to join your starter, with approximately 6 beasts comprising a group. Each animal has staminas, weak points, and also a moveset, in addition to an overarching important fondness. With over 700 Pokémon in the lineup, thousands of possible actions, as well as 18 important kinds, also experts could have a tough time keeping an eye on everything. Sunlight as well as Moon offer an assisting hand below: as soon as you make use of an action versus an opponent, the game’s food selection will certainly advise you of efficiency prior to you choose anything.
Sunlight and also Moon are structured around “tests” spread throughout 4 islands, as well as these obstacles may need you to do anything from digital photography to acing a test. Unavoidably all tests integrate fights, however retreating from the normal health club structure rejuvenates Pokémon. Rather than increasing down on the severity of a significant fight at the end of an onslaught, as previous games did, tests usually entertained as well as amused me with their shenanigans. I never ever recognized just what to anticipate, makings tests definitely much more unforgettable compared to fitness centers.
That based facility, paired with Pokémon Sunlight as well as Moon’s focus on information, makes the globe really feel to life. You could listen to Pokémon chirp as well as croak. They hang from trees and also scutter regarding as you make your means with high lawn. Some computer-controlled personalities still laid out bowls, beds, and also playthings for their very own house-bound family pets. The even more expert ones make use of a selection of beasts to assist them with everyday tasks, like building and construction or authorities job. Pokémon do not really feel implanted on below. They seem like a purposeful part of a real culture.
Pokemon tower defense
In various other games, the best “method” versus AI was to grind your pokemon revolution online, so regarding bewilder via large statistics. In Sunlight and also Moon, it is not nearly enough to over degree your animals, and even to make use of the right relocation kind. Fitness instructors utilize even more things that recover HP or condition problems, as well as in the wild, beasts typically ask for “aid,” to make sure that even more Pokémon could join them throughout fight.
Pokemon go joystick
The Alola area is made up of islands with various atmospheres as well as environments, enabling numerous traditional pokemon characters to currently have ‘local versions.’ That fire pokemon type chart you enjoyed as a child? It’s an ice Pokémon currently, with a method cooler style too. Keep in mind that impressive beast that utilized a bone as a tool? It’s a GHOST currently. And also if you aren’t sure the initial 151? That’s all right, you still obtain the even more incredible variations of precious animals from the start, all while checking out a digital eden. It’s a wise concession that makes the old brand-new once again.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Nintendo’s Brand Ownership
We're looking to explore the history of Nintendo, delving deeper into their successful marketing tactics. Nintendo is interesting because they have mostly only sold their games on their own platforms and were the first to break through many frontiers in the gaming industry.
We are interested in Nintendo’s unique take on the branding and marketing of their products. Unlike other game companies, Nintendo has kept their games available only on their consoles and haven’t branched out to other consoles. We’re also fascinated with the fact that the company has prided themselves on only marketing towards their own consoles, but very recently have decided to branch out to mobile apps. As a result, we’re interested in knowing why these changes have been made.
Nintendo has also been known to have a very similar art style throughout all of their games, something a lot of other companies tend to not be consistent with, so we’re interested in exploring this more. Lastly, we want to look into the rise, fall, and rise again of Nintendo with their earlier consoles, to their decline with the Wii U, and their rise again with the Switch. Nintendo has an interesting history, so beyond all of this, we truly just want to discover more about why they made the decisions they did in regards to certain things.
Nintendo is one of the least diverse gaming companies of today’s gaming era. Nintendo, for the most part, keeps its games on its own platforms and has very recognisable characters around which its games are based. For example, the Mario franchise stretches over 250 games over the past 36 years (“Category: Mario Games”). Understanding how media has changed over time with new advents of technology, Nintendo has adapted and stayed above with consoles like the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii in recent years. The question we seek to answer is how has Nintendo continued to stay on top and continued to grow despite the shortcomings that accompany the opportunity cost they take when not diversifying their products onto other consoles?
One of the attributes of Nintendo’s brand that makes it so interesting is that, unlike most video game production studios and companies, they do not branch out and collaborate with many other studios (Thier). For example, the Mario franchise is almost solely distributed on Nintendo consoles, aside from the application game on iOS and Android. The reason for this isolationist approach to video game production is because Nintendo’s philosophy is that branching out and collaborating with other companies will only give them a short-term boost in profit; whereas, keeping their games on their systems will cause their large following more incentive to invest in both their games and their consoles, giving them exponentially more profit in the long-term (Gaston). Nintendo’s business model has worked for this thus far. From an economic standpoint, having a more scarce, desirable product will yield more profit than a less scarce product based on the price elasticity of the gaming market.
Nintendo has stayed breaking the boundaries of gaming for the past 40 or more years by their advertising and branding. According to Sturken and Cartwright, the producer must “set up a particular relationship” (276) between the product and the consumer to sell the product. We see this clearly with consoles such as the Nintendo Family Computer, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii. and Nintendo Switch. The names themselves for the first few give a sense of belonging and family. Using words like “family” and “entertainment” create the desire to want the console. Once they cemented their foundation as a household name in gaming, they used advertisements, as we know them today, to capture the emotions and events that these gaming systems would bring. One of the best gaming advertisements that show this, especially one that has changed the way gaming has worked thereafter, is of the Wii (Muller). The brand of Nintendo has become one that is all-encompassing and self-sufficient. Nintendo not only provides its own games, but its games are only playable on their own systems. This cyclical business model has helped solidify them in the gaming market and therefore continued to help create their identity. The brand identity is crucial to the products they try to sell (Cartwright and Sturken, 291). Without an identity, some attributes and elements of gaming and characterisation that consumers recognise, consumers would not link gaming consoles or character serieses together as they do with Nintendo’s products. Establishing a visual motif is pertinent to creating this brand identity (Cartwright and Sturken, 290). This is also seen in brands like Apple and Nike.
Nintendo has broken barriers in more than just the home gaming console. In the portable gaming paradigm, the Nintendo GameBoy started it all. Selling nearly 120 million units before the release of its replacement, the GameBoy Advance (Reynolds), the GameBoy introduced the concept of “gaming on the go” and with it came it’s own set of series games, like Tetris and Pokémon. Expanding the brand identity to include portable gaming put Nintendo above its then rival, Sega (Kelion). The GameBoy is still influential. From the hardware interface design to the LCD screen to the expansion of Nintendo games onto the portable device, Nintendo exploited all of the features of having a mobile device for gaming by branding it in a Tron like manner (Reynolds). Nintendo separated the GameBoy (and its successors) from its console devices while still having loose ties by means of software which made concurrent sales for both types of gaming devices increase. Another great example of where Nintendo has uprooted and shifted portable gaming is with the Nintendo DS. With the dual screen -- one being touch sensitive, Nintendo revitalised their already monopoly on portable gaming giving them more possibilities in user experiences. According to gaming editor, James Rivington, the Nintendo DS is the “fastest selling gaming handheld of all time” which dwarfed the Sony PSP, its contemporary for portable gaming.
Over the years, Nintendo has had an interesting trend of sales as well as sales tactics. From the decline in sales between the NES and the GameCube and the dramatic increase with the release of the Wii, Nintendo has had an interesting journey to their current state with the recent release of the Switch. Along with the latest console release, Nintendo has also expanded into the mobile market after years of refusing. We’ll be exploring both topics in more detail within this section.
One important angle with researching Nintendo is the rise and fall of sales between the different consoles. More specifically, the massive decline in sales from the Wii to the Wii U as well as the rapid increase in sales from the Wii U to the Switch. I’ve found interesting trends from console to console. First off, from the NES to GameCube, sales slowly declined, mostly due to the seemingly minor changes made from console to console (Bogost 1). With the release of the Wii in 2006, sales skyrocketed, making it the most popular console for the company (Gilbert), but quickly dropped again with the release of the Wii U in 2012. The release of the Wii U hurt the company so much that they lost 80% of their value by the end of that year. The Wii U was unsuccessful due to many reasons including the fact that many new devices and technologies were coming out around the same time, overshadowing the Wii U, which was hardly any different than it’s previous iteration (Bogost 2). Above all, Nintendo seemed to be a dying company due to the conservative nature of the brand with a lack of risk taking. Fortunately for Nintendo, they were able to make a huge comeback with the release of the Switch this year. While looking into the release of the Switch versus previous releases, I found that the Switch sold more in the first few days than any of their previous consoles (Kamen). Much of the success from the new console has been directed toward the release of the new Legend of Zelda game, which has also broken record sales.
As for Nintendo reaching into the mobile market, I found an article by Ben Gilbert on the many times Nintendo was quoted for not wanting to branch out into the mobile market. This article was written around the time Nintendo announced the new mobile game that would be coming. It also did a good job of pointing out a reason why they finally made the move. The CEO of Nintendo suggested that they have been around for 125 years, before TVs, and that they only now found it fit to pursue the mobile market now that smartphones seem to be at a good enough point to be “worthy” of Nintendo’s games. Nintendo has since released two apps: Miitomo and Super Mario Run. Miitomo came first, working as a free social app involving Nintendo’s mii-style characters. Interestingly enough, they eventually released Super Mario Run in 2016 as a $10 app, relying on the brand to sell the app for such a hefty price. Even though they did well with the amount of app installations, only 5% of people actually paid for the full app (Vincent). The most important aspect of Nintendo’s move into the mobile market is the fact that this was the first time they have created their own games for non-Nintendo ports, so who knows where this new market will take them next.
An important research angle on Nintendo is the company’s defining characters and branding and design. When the word “Nintendo” is heard, images that come to our heads include the infamous duo, Mario and Luigi, the Nintendo Gameboy, and more. By being one of the least diverse gaming companies in the industry, these defining features have followed all of Nintendo’s evolutions. The same set of characters have matured and become more modern as computational design has become more and more refined. The consoles have evolved to cater for the serious gamer as well as families.
Nintendo is often associated with popular characters such as Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, and more. From the origin of Nintendo to today, the company has stuck with the same defining characters for their games and the marketing of their products. It’s interesting to see how the looks of these characters has evolved over the years, and how there is a lot of crossover between character appearances in games (McIntyre). Starting from the very roots of Nintendo, the Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, and others appeared in the beloved game Tetris(Adams). Perhaps the best known crossover was on the Nintendo 64 game Super Smash Bros., with characters Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Star Fox, Kirby, and more coming together for players to battle it out(McIntyre).
Also, from the 90’s to today, Nintendo has evolved to become a console that caters more towards not only the hardcore gamer, but also family. A Nintendo console from the 90’s sported a more powerful and standout aesthetic, with grey and black color schemes and a design that stood out amongst the TV and other surrounding furniture (Alund). The self-image gave off an idea of coolness and competitiveness with the use of the console. Fast forward to the 2000’s, Nintendo began catering their consoles more towards the family gaming style. Consoles such as the Wii and Wii U are designed with a more modern, sleek, and friendly design(Alund). With a new aesthetic, Nintendo consoles appeared more playful and more catered towards a family or casual gamers. Wireless controllers were also introduced, giving a hand-free aspect to the gaming experience (Alund).

IPhone And Android Top 10
Capcom was founded in 1983, and is responsible for some of the most celebrated franchises in gaming including Resident Evil®, Street Fighter®, Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney®, Mega Man® and Devil May Cry®.

The first example of this strategy - Dragon City Mobile - continues to be a top 100 iPhone grossing game three years after launch. Since BBC Three went online only there's been a whopping great Peter Griffin-sized hole in our lives.
