Mugen 1.1 unstable? Constant crashing? Dafuq are you people talking about?

Stop being poor and get a decent gaming rig.

The only time I've had 1.1 crash on me is when a character or stage was incompatible, and that's an easy fix.

The fact mugen 1.1 won't run on your toaster isn't its fault.

Meanwhile, members of the National Dex movement have started a campaign to demand that Junichi Masuda be fired over all of this.

While another member took to Twitter to accuse him of rape.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable and rational reaction to your make-believe animal checklist not being as long as you would have preferred.

Okay, I confess that I was actually surprised that the angry fans went there. I understand that the fanbase was pretty crazy even before all of this, but was under the impression that there are a few restraining bolts that is keeping the insanity in check. Now, I think those bolts are long gone.

The angry fans needs to keep their more extreme insanity in check, because actions like these are never okay and it might undermine them in the long run. In fact, it would be beneficial if everyone take some time off from this Pokemon outrage before it consumes their very minds, because I have a feeling that the rage is consuming their sanity and self-control.

I was not in favor of the bad decisions that Game Freak made for this game, just as I am not in favor of the way she is behaving, however, some actions are totally depreciable, with no need to be made.

Note: Despite everything, I believe that this whole situation serves to show to Game Freak that the fanbase is not accepting anything more than they do, so I hope that from now on we can see things that really surprise. This is the first franchise game I'm not excited about playing.

Of course the current climate influences, but I did not see anything that was really attractive, because in one way or another, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are still the most complete versions, because in them you can have all Pokémon, Mega-Evolutions , Z-Moves among several other features that sustain the competitive environment.

I do think that a hostile and toxic fanbase (or even sections of said fanbase) can ruin or put a wet blanket on the enjoyment of any hobby or entertainment. I saw it many times and not just in Pokemon. I guess another reason why I am so calm about all of this is because I have divorced myself from the Pokemon fandom a long time ago for their toxic metagaming (Smogon Univeristy comes to mind), so I am very insulated from the whims and emotions of the greater Pokemon fandom. I prefer to enjoy things at my own pace.

One final note, I believe that even if Game Freak would like to delay Pokemon Sword/Shield's release, Nintendo would not allow it. Why? Because I am guessing that Nintendo needs to have a BIG system seller for the upcoming holiday season at the end of the year. Look at the list and tell me what other big name Switch game is getting released around November or December other than Pokemon.

I skimmed the list and there is not really a big first party game being released at that period of time other than Pokemon. So, unless Nintendo wants to sit this holiday season out (as if), Pokemon is getting released on time, and if it means not including a bunch of old features that no one really uses or eliminating a few Pokemon no one really likes (all relative of course), so be it.

The unfortunate price of business, I guess.

I've been sitting back and rather enjoying this dumpster fire of a thread. Full disclosure, I have no personal investment in the poke-mans. I was too old for it back when it was released when I was like 14-ish.

I have to say though, that this post is probably tho most realistic and accurate post in the whole damn thread. Of course Nintendo is going to push through the release for the holiday, and no amount of bitching from a bunch of angry 20-30 somethings is going to stop them from releasing their flagship children's toy for Christmas.

Now I hate to break this to a lot of you super pissed of fanboys buuuuut....

....you aren't the target audience anymore. womp womp. Mommy and Daddy are, when they buy the pokemons for little jimmy this december.

I say as if ANY of you aren't going to buy this game on day 1.
    

Re: how to make new sprites match existing pal?

Oooookay.

So divide this up into existing pal, and new pal.

so first thing first is you need to load the existing pallet into ff3's advanced pallet editor and manually select a manageable group of colors and save it in the custom colors section, I will usually choose all of the shades of a single color, like say all the shades of white in Ryu's Gi.

Then you load up new sprite pallet, and manually, color by color, transfer them over, then save.

after you have done this to every single color you need to use another program that has a pallet editor, I use gimp. Load up the new sprite and select the option to modify the colour map on the new pallet. You need to rearrange all of the colors in the index to to match the existing pallets placement. This is probably the hardest part.

Once you have finished, you should actually be able to load the new sprite into ff3 and select the option to use the existing pallet with no ill effects.

Hope that helps. I'd try to like take screenshots or something, but I don't really have any examples to work with.

I second that.

If you are burnt out Mr. Ansatsuken then you should absolutely take a break. Last thing you want to do is take commissions and make it a job. When I was cranking out custom ports for Legacy I got some wild requests for shit I had no interest in, and last thing I wanted was to take peoples money and be obligated to work on whatever weird weeabo furry cartoon nonsense that I had zero motivation to complete.

or not, maybe you are into that. What do I know? you do you man.

2.-Chi-Chi is creepy and sexualized in the manga too. I'm not gonna pretend as ohgaki didn't accentuate on that but I don't think it's a felony to have a Dragon Ball volume in Canada.

I didn't say anything about the manga at all did I? Otherwise our laws are super strict about anything like that, but lets not derail everything by going down that road.

What's abundantly clear is that Mr. Ansatsuken is going to release that character regardless, and from all the meme bullshit he obviously gets off on the negative attention he is getting. Frankly I feel he is in the right to do so, because this isn't 2009 anymore, and the guild was supposed to be the place to escape from all that closed sourced bullshit. As long as he credits the appropriate parties, then go for it.

Mugen is about making stuff for the players. NOT for the creators.
No shit you characters are so bad

I'm a little bit concerned about ohgaki not releasing any more originally sprited characters if you release Chi-Chi without his authorization. Please just wait he might be fine about it.

It would be kind of funny if that's all it took for Ohgaki to stop releasing his pedobait originally sprited characters.

I couldn't care less if he flips his shit over an edit. You should be more concerned with the fact you want to attach your name to... that. Like am I taking crazy pills here? am I the only one that thinks that shit is super fucking creepy?

But seriously I'm pretty sure that having Ohgakis Chi-Chi on your hard drive counts as a felony in my country.

It's because they made the Dark Queen look like an evil scientist rather than an SM dominatrix. Gamers take offence to that sort of thing.

I think you meant, "pathetic man-children take offense to that sort of thing."

I'm only bummed it looks like an Xbox exclusive. I love side scroller beat'em ups, and I want to play me some battletoads.

THQnordic just wants to take all my money I see. The Spongebob game, and Destroy all Humans are both great, and I am really looking forward to the remake of both. now if they would just release the damn Spyro remake on pc as well.

FF7 was great for its time. people forget it was a gen 1 playstation game sometimes.

Even thought it was my favorite FF game, I couldn't give two shits about the remake at E3.

All I care about is Cyberpunk 2077, and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

Okay, so since this is a thread on pots style ports, and you made one for it I feel this is okay to ask here instead of the"does this exist thread"

Is there a pots style Neo-Dio that exists somewhere? or is that port more of a wishful thinking thing?

I personally prefer 1.1, but I'm a graphics slut.

Once you've started using 1.1 screen packs and portraits using .png images there is no going back to 250 colour indexed sprites.

and converting characters really isn't that much work.

I am really loving this stage. I rather prefer it with VHS lines, it feels right. You picked out some great music choices too, Kung Fury is dope. I had to mess with the local cords a bit to get it 4:3 but I think I got it after a little trial and error. Just really great work, best stage release in a while.

The takeaway from this whole debacle has been that the ESA can no longer be trusted to do the job it was created for

To provide the industry a chance to self-regulate before the government comes in swinging the uncaring bat of legislation

Yes! this, 100%. The entire reason they were created was to prevent the government from coming in and annihilating the industry through regulation.

They had there chance to pull back the reins on this loot box non-sense before it exploded the way it did. Now its too late.

Yes, won't anyone please think about those poor defenseless mega corporations that surpassed the movie industry as the highest profiting entertainment outlet?

How will they ever manage to survive if their latest manipulative skinner box gambling outlet gets outlawed? All of the insane amounts of money they make totally goes back into the economy as high wages and bonuses for the game developers, and in no way gets siphoned into the pockets of shareholders to get hidden away in offshore accounts.

This will be the death of gaming!

...or they will move to  a new monetization method and make everything in a game ala carte, or subscription based. Gotta keep them shareholders happy. If profits aren't higher than last quarter, you are a complete failure.
