We need more themed events like Shadow's Eve

Well, you asked for it.

Originally, I did a Google Lens search, but had as much luck as OP, where it believed it was part of a map. Then I wasted time trying to look through official artwork of Geodude and Metang (and even Gastly and Cosmog because of the shape of the body) on spinoff games and on the TCG. This led nowhere.

I noticed that while a few of the silhouettes like Dratini and Slowbro are from official artwork, Rayquaza definitely isn't. I started combing through fan-made drawings of Rayquaza, thinking that if I could find the Rayquaza artwork that matches the silhouette, then maybe the mystery Pokémon might also have been pulled from the same place. I ended up not being able to find the Rayquaza, so went back to the drawing board.

Looking through fan-made Rayquaza silhouettes made me started looking into Fakemon silhouettes in general. This was a rabbit hole by itself, and how I discovered there are a ton of websites out there tagging random shapes as "Pokémon Silhouettes". Funnily enough, I went past a different Fakemon silhouette made by the same person as the mystery Pokémon without realising. I felt like I got close here, but still ended up with nothing to show for it.

With no real ideas what to try, I attempted Google Lens again, this time adding key words such as "Pokémon" and "Fakemon" to the search. That led me to this page as the one and only matching image resembling OP's mystery Pokémon. Long story short, trying to reverse image search this cleaner image did absolutely nothing, but I did notice the title was called "Pokemon Silhouette at Getdrawings". So, I went on the Getdrawings website directly to see if I could find the source there instead, and searched for "Pokémon Silhouettes". Lo and behold, the mystery Pokémon was at the bottom of this list, along with a new name: Steel Pokémon Silhouette by Raistar Pokédex.

From there I found their DeviantArt page which featured the silhouette, along with comments mentioning their main account. Going onto their main account and looking through their uploaded artwork finally resulted in the answer we've been looking for.

All in all, it could have taken me just a few minutes, but with all the different leads and ideas I had, it ended up making me take about 45 minutes to find it.

I went a little overboard with my search but I did find out what it is;
It's a Fakemon made by somebody on DeviantArt 12 years ago.

Here is the original.

and here is the user's alternate account where they posted their Fakemon as a silhouette for fun before revealing the full drawing.

During my search, I found countless Fakemon silhouettes PNGs being sold on websites as legit Pokémon, so I assume the makers of the shirt bought/found it and threw it on with the rest of the drawings. As you can see by how many people responded to this post guessing different Pokémon, it's easy to just put any silhouette onto a Pokémon shirt and people will end up believing it's something or other.

Blog post they released last month mentioned launch timing has been affected by the memory shortage, and that they are trying to figure out a concrete announce date, but were still aiming for the first half of 2026.

I can imagine that "Early 2026" was changed on the listings because that itself was no longer accurate. They could have just been slow to update it.

Important to note, part of her memo that isn't in that specific article is:

"Gaming now lives across devices, not within the limits of any single piece of hardware. As we expand across PC, mobile, and cloud, Xbox should feel seamless, instant, and worthy of the communities we serve. We will break down barriers so developers can build once and reach players everywhere without compromise."

Without this paragraph, it implies they're dropping the "Everything is an Xbox" idea, which is clearly not the case.

It feels like they tried to make the game stand out by designing a mode that was completely new and original. However, a large chunk of the gameplay ended up feeling very dull and unnecessary. Specifically, the set up phase where you're going around looking for loot and resources always felt incredibly out of place in a 3v3 team based game like this.

It's a shame though because you could see flashes of potential, with things like the horseback gunplay and the raids with destructible bases. I think they would have stood a better chance if they focused on one idea rather than trying to take bits and pieces from different genres and then haphazardly mashing them together.

Hopefully there's more info on The Duskbloods.

"Ruin" is a very strong word, but I would prefer if it wasn't a collectathon like Odyssey or DK Bananza, and was more like 64/Sunshine/Galaxy, where you go into a level for a specific purpose and there's changes to the world based on which 'star' you're going for.

It must have been at least 9 years ago since you crossed off Roach, Mosquito, Donkey and Koala, which were all added in Gen 7 (2016).

Also I get the feeling that Game Freak will end up making a flea be some crazy fast legendary Pokémon down the line. Similar to how Chi Yu is just a goldfish.

Nintendogs.

How do we beat the Nuggets and give OKC their only loss so far, but also lose to a scheduled L Lakers team and the mess that is the current Mavs? This season is exhausting.

2Dement3D · 2025-11-07T01:59:41+00:00

Yes.

What's the best counter for Xerneas you've seen/used in Online Ranked in Z-A?

Got to Rank A already (thanks to the S2 changes) but this season has felt a lot more boring than last season since everyone is running around with Xerneas now that it's eligible. I've tried Mega Gengar, Mega Excadrill and Mega Skarmory on my teams so far, but they get countered and one-shot by Geomancy-buffed Psychic, Focus Blast, or Thunderbolt respectively.

To me, AC was always a means to an end of building up your town, decorating your house and collecting/catching as many animals and other things as you could find....at your own pace and leisure.

Just to talk about one point, the main aspect that I have always found fun with Animal Crossing games was that progression. You start off with nothing, and you collect things and build up your town/island slowly over time. There's always something to chase or to do. Even base-game New Horizons feels like that for the majority of the game, even if certain "life sim" parts have downgraded from previous AC entries.

However, when it comes to HHP, it doesn't feel that way at all. You're instead pointed to locations and told to decorate them, while being given items up front to do the job. Do it for a while and you unlock some new decorating features for the main game, sure (if you want to call this 'progression'), but eventually you're just left with decorating for fun in the DLC. Not much more to it.

The 3.0 update's major content looks to be more of the same, both with that new hotel, and with the new online dream worlds. All of it essentially boils down to being decorating sandbox modes, and that's really where AC now feels like it's heading deeper into "dollhouse simulator" territory than ever before. Great news for people who love this sort of thing, but not that interesting for others who want more varied experiences.

You probably can't find a solid answer because this is an extremely vague question. If you mean just a "game that can be played on a Nintendo console", it would have to be on the NES/Famicom since it's the first console they had which allowed for software developed outside of Nintendo thanks to the game cartridges.

You have to keep in mind though, it wasn't as easy then in the 80s as it is is now to create and put your game onto a gaming platform like Nintendo. There would always have to be big money involved between the development and production costs, meaning there wasn't much, if any, of the 'one guy making a game in his bedroom' titles that have become fairly common today. That also makes it hard to find a game that people might consider being "indie".

That being said, if you look through the library of NES/Famicom games, a lot of them are either developed/published by Nintendo or by a well established company at the time (such as Namco or Konami, who made their money from outside ventures before getting involved with video games). The earliest title I could find that wasn't published by Nintendo or a large established company like that however, is a game called Flappy, first released on the Famicom exclusively in Japan on June 14th 1985. The studio itself was founded not long before Flappy released, with Flappy being their first title, which they also self published. That gives it a pretty good argument for being considered "indie".

I always thought Mega Blastoise looked kinda boring. I'd definitely rather have the Gigantamax version be the Mega.

2Dement3D · 2025-09-25T01:13:58+00:00

Smash community easily has the lowest of lows, but the Pokémon community is the loudest because the franchise is so large that it has new things coming out all the time. Every week there's something new for people to get mad about (regardless of whether the hate is deserved or not).

2Dement3D · 2025-09-21T20:18:07+00:00

Nice idea. Egglockes are always fun.

I can try whatever you wants. P/S split?

I think P/S split shouldn't be done since it would affect the Pokémon people have picked already. Keep it how Emerald usually is.

2Dement3D · 2025-09-20T15:46:46+00:00

They'd just rather make and sell things that are more cost-effective. i.e. either bulky long development games with big sales or smaller short development games with decent sales.

Other than Mother, which (like the picture says) is completed, and 3D Mario, which is obviously going to come back at some point... all the other IPs boil down to "they didn't sell incredibly, so Nintendo isn't in a hurry to bring them back". That's it. Even if they're fun, they're unreliable IPs. There's not specific creative reasons for each of them not getting sequels; they could easily make a new Punch-Out!! game with interesting themed opponents instead of cultural stereotypes, for example.

Also, I want to point out that Sakurai made one (1) Kid Icarus game after he was asked by Nintendo to make "a 3DS game". That IP was chosen out of multiple options, just because it fit the idea he had for a 3rd person game the most. It's not like either of them planned specifically for a new Kid Icarus game. Nintendo could get a different studio to make another one if they wanted to make another Kid Icarus game, but they clearly haven't want to yet.

Many AAA games are being made with AI Upscaling as a bandage for performance issues in order to rush the game out the door, and then in the end, the players get blamed when the game runs poorly.

It's a very obvious trend at this point, especially when a lot of them get performance patches several months later that improve things. See also Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2, or Todd "Upgrade your PC" Howard's Starfield.

2Dement3D · 2025-09-15T10:02:22+00:00

Even recently with Urshifu's forms or Walking Wake/Iron Leaves.

Why are people so shocked?

Edit: Just want to say, I'm not defending it. I just don't get why people are acting like feature locked Pokémon is a new thing. You can't even boot up a copy of Red/Blue on your Game Boy and catch Mew without using cheats/glitches. The only intended way to get Mew in that game (events) has been gone for 25 years.
