  • What does Lugia even do? It has no role in the story and is treated as just a regular legendary, yet it's face is on the front of the box. Why is it so underused?

    Gold and Silver were the first time they did "mascot" legendaries, but at the time there wasn't really any obligation to story-tie them - in Gen 1 the mascots were the starters and you didn't even have them acknowledge any of the legendaries. Mostly they were to fit the aesthetics and theme of the game design as its mascots. It's a gradual progression thing; Gen 1 doesn't have mascot legendaries, Gen 2 has them but not in story (and you see how Crystal even revises the story to mandate Suicine), and that leads to "mascot legendaries are part of the story" in Gen 3 and on.

    Lugia's design process was pretty non-standard, too. Takeshi Shudo, who had a major role in writing the Pokémon anime, came up with a role for an as-yet-uncreated Pokémon in the then-upcoming second movie. Gamefreak, and designer Ken Sugimori in particular, then created Lugia to fill that role (with some alterations to both the original concept and Lugia's design along the way). Lugia was added to Gold and Silver some ways in their development, and even some Game Freak staffers later expressed surprise it made it into the games, apparently having been under the impression it would remain exclusive to the movie. So unlike Ho-oh, who at least ties into Johto's theme and aesthetic despite its lack of a story role, Lugia was just kind of plopped into the games at the end of a long and meandering creation process.

    Yeah, apparently in some early builds of the game there was no Lugia, only Ho-Oh.
    Waluigi Game Idea: The Wa-lympics
    A game similar in gameplay to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games, but with a lot more weird sports that were actually played at the early Olympics.
    Ideas include:
    Pistol Duelling (The guns would either be cartoony cork guns or realistic revolvers.)
    Balloning
    Juggling
    Horse Riding

    The plot would be that after being banned from the Olympics following an incident involving 19 kilos of of swiss cheese and a donkey, Waluigi would set up his own olympics and invite all the weirdos of the Mushroom Kingdom. The story mode would involve Waluigi trying to rig every event in his favor, only to win through pure dumb luck.
    Idea: A Pokemon game where badges serve as HM's. Cut would be a pair of shears, Surf would be a derpy inflatable raft, Rock Smash would be a ring that you punch rocks with, Strength would be a pair of gloves, that sort of thing.

    Fly could be either a bird whistle or a jet-pack, Flash would be a flashlight (obviously), Dive would be scuba gear, Defog would be a fan, Waterfall would be a grappling hook attached to the raft and Rock Climb would be mountaineering gear.
    Game idea: A third person shooter where you play as Geno, using his weapons to defeat a threat to the Star Road.
    If Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People ever gets rereleased, I really want there to be an extra gamesode. Here are some ideas on what it could be: Very Special Cheatisode:You play as all of the Cheat Commandos in this one, as you attempt to defeat Blue Laser.
    Stinkoman 20X5: Play as Stinkoman and fight many enemies!
    SPACAF: The brave First Lieunteneral Space Captainface and his trusty mechanic are lost in the dark reaches of space (Marzipan's Garden). Can you help them get back to Strong Badia safe and sound?
    Strong Badman Strikes Again: Play as Strong Badman and take over the city!
    Intercontinental Bed and Breakfast: After hearing about the new wrestling competition, Strong Bad has to fight to keep his title of wrestleman from all comers. Features the return of Il Cartoghrapher, Jack-Em-Up Kid and Gardenboy.

    Dunno, but I can genuinely hear Bonestrousle playing in my head just by looking at the dude.

    This character is from Mega Man, more specifically from Battle Network. His name is SkullMan.exe, and he is the NetNavi counterpart of Skullman from Mega Man 4. He was made long before papyrus.

    Makes sense to me. Would be a funny coincedence if Toby Fox got his inspiration for Papyrus from this character, though.
    I will die on this hill: Mario Party Advance is a very fun game. Shroom City is a fun location and everything oozes some kind of charm.

    I do think how hated Mario Party Advance is does seem a bit overblown, because at least it tries something new. Such as that the idea of having characters to travel to with personality is a good one. I've never played it. I remember seeing a video where apparently one minigame is literally watching a stick fall though, so that doesn't seem too compelling of a premise lol
    Imagine if there were more groups of water-type starters working with law enforcement like the Squirtle Squad. We could have had the Totodile Troop, the Mudkip Militia, the Piplup Party, the Oshawatt Ops, the Froakie Force, the Popplio Parade, the Sobble Strike Force and the Quaxly Crew.

    Roles of each team:
    Squirtle Squad: Breaking up riots.
    Totodile Troop: Pursuit and apprehension of suspects (imagine being chased by a Feraligator).
    Mudkip Militia: Ambushing criminal meet-ups
    Piplup Party: Raids (Using Empolions wings to slice through barricades).
    Oshawatt Ops: Assistance during Firefights.
    Froakie Force: Same as Piplup Party.
    Popplio Parade: Calming down hostages and people caught in crossfire.
    Sobble Strike Force: Police Snipers.
    Quaxly Crew: Same as Popplio Parade.
    I invite you to come to the Skeld.

    I politely decline, for fear of getting brutally murdered and be replaced by a doppelganger that wishes for nothing less than the execution of everybody aboard the ship.

    Woohoo Hooniversity is arguably the creepiest location in Superstar Saga. When you reach it, the faculty have been turned into Laser Snifits, which we see UP CLOSE mind you.
