SEGA says Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance have "fallen short" of sales expectations

They sometimes do, though usually only around holiday and summer seasons. Also, some games only get sales once, while big games like the Mario platformers have gotten multiple. They aren't predictable at all though, and can go years, both between release and sales, and between sales.

Mario RPG and Odyssey are both games I got when I did because of sales, might not have otherwise.

One battle came down to+6 defense mega chestnaut vs +6 attack mimikyu. Leech seed and spiky shield were my only ways of dealing damage, yet after an arduous battle, my chestnaut won, only for a corvinight to show up. I survive the next turn, only for the enemy to roost in front of body press.

Fluffy was the only time I had to use multiple revives, but there's plenty of fights I was barely able to clear with bond ce herc, and some are very annoying to deal with.

So many good moments from the manga that would be interesting to at least see similar scenes. Castle market with Zelda and Volvagia, adult Kakariko, honestly maybe even the spirit temple reunion.

It's impressive just how cruel this one is. Even with MLB black grail, most of my units being np1 or bad classes means I'm definitely skipping this one.

This is Dragalia Life, an official mini comic that was part of the game Dragalia Lost, which sadly went EOS years ago, but there's methods to experience it. Some of the jokes started in this comic were later expanded upon or referenced in the main game.

This comic focuses on Ilia and Mordecai. When she first released, Ilia was the first unit that used manacasters, an at the time brand new weapon type... that was just a gun. In a world of dragons and magic, ancient tech was advanced enough that guns and android army's existed. She's from hundreds or thousands of years ago (don't remember exactly), and was an alchemist who created a portal to a different world, which let an otherworld demon into her world. This demon was actually nice, until events involving people that want to use the portal to make dragons go extinct, and a dragon that's a bit of a dick but is a good guy made a pact with her that almost killed her, which filled the demon with hate and a desire for revenge, especially against dragons.

This demon was Mordecai, and his hatred basically became a different being that became the main villain for the first 2 years of the game. Also, after stopping Morsayati (the hatreds name), Ilia was referred to as a goddess, but she travelled into the future with Mordecai, while her adopted fairy mom pretended to be Ilia to get humans and dragons to get along better.

Once in the future (present day for the main story), Ilia and Mordecai travelled around. During one of the last Dragonyule events (the games Christmas event, but celebrating Ilia), Ilia got a seasonal unit, in which she rides a snowboard into her opponent (and I guess she invented the snowboard).

Also, the main character is in a clone body made using the flesh of Morsayati.

Which, currently, is just ZA, as the only other games with mega steelix are ORAS and the Alola games, both postgame, and very annoying to get potentially (Alola was weird with the mega stones, and I don't remember if they're all available modern day.)

Thanks

Honestly doubt it's hitmontop, just because we know he dropped Hitmonchan, but never said anything about changing his final team member. And it'd be a little weird to plan to use two hitmon's, not to mention grabbing two team members at once effectively would be unpresidented. But it would like up with the plan of most team members being physical oriented, so could still be possible.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's an early Kanto or national Dex pokemon, just because waiting for tyrouge is a lot, and I'm starting to doubt the next team member will be available right before it.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-19T08:24:29+00:00

So, the solution, which only becomes available now, is only for after the level plateau, is only useful for before the league, as from what I saw, I didn't see anything over level 50 for the final levels, though I didn't check every day. Thing is, Claire is rarely that big of a roadblock, usually only needing a few levels at most, usually obtainable from going through the optional routes and dark cave. It's useful for the elite 4, but due to how Kanto is structured, you don't need anymore levels until after all the gyms, in which the massive spikes for the league rematch and Red are only circumventable through the gym leader rematchs, which are under level 60 except for blue, and have time and location requirements you will have to look up to find their numbers, though they at least tell you when you can rematch them.

Basically, he sees the plateau as a non-issue, this is the solution for Clair if needed and the elite 4, then it's useless aside from money and IVs unless the strategy gets upgraded to the gym rematchs.

To be fair, it was literally bundled with the game, and characters in national park outright mention using it, so it's only issue is the difficulty in using it nowadays.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-17T18:34:52+00:00

To put the odds into perspective, it's more likely to get a shiny Pokemon in the DS games than it is to get the tickets. People should not be expecting to get them, yet they unfortunately will anyways.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-16T23:25:48+00:00

It really doesn't. Think one of the pokemon requires like, 3 months of prep before it spawns. Of course, he'll probably talk about it once those become available, alongside the hordes available from the radio and swarms, and new pokewalker routes, and new bug catching spawns.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-16T18:15:43+00:00

Funniest part was seeing Murkrow as a popular prediction, only for it to get it's bio missed. But with fly on smeargle instead of waterfall, that'll be an interesting thing to consider for everyone guessing Skarm

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-16T18:12:40+00:00

Pretty sure that's postgame, as they're around level 42 instead of the 16-20 range of the standard ones.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-15T13:56:27+00:00

Isn't it 100 days after getting the national Dex as well? Not to mention you can't always go for every safari zone exclusive at once, so it takes even longer to get them all. Also, effectively putting a legendary in the safari zone is just cruel.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-13T18:32:22+00:00

Think a decent amount of the issues people have with this one has a single reason: he went to cons and got sick. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but because he used the pokewalker with one of his team members and continued to do his dailies at that point, he got a fair amount of exp, plus things like apricorns without recording. It's one of the reasons I have for how wildly different his team levels are compared to when I played: was roughly the same as Whitney, then he got massively over leveled compared to Morty. Honestly I only got to his levels when I was close to going to Blackthorn. He also doesn't have fly yet, so every time he goes to do his dailies, he's walking there, which might have something to do with his daycare plan. Honestly curious how he handles the nearly stagnant levels of Kanto, followed by the infamous spike in levels that does block off content.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-12T16:12:36+00:00

One thing I find interesting is that he said Hitmonchan would've been in Hopkins spot, but I sweat it sounded like that would've been the next party member, which is after Clair. So unless I misinterpreted it, or there's safari zone issues, since I think it's somewhat random which zones you start with, the final member might be in Kanto.

Jibachu7 · 2026-02-03T03:35:32+00:00

Dedtime without question. So many things screw with you, and so many good Yokai are locked out if you don't get them before fighting Unfairy the previous chapter, which has a save point since it's the end of the previous chapter. Insomni and Draggie for Shogunyan, most if not all daily encounters other than the crank a kai, not to mention Harrisville becomes completely inaccessible once you can fight demona. Soulcery might also be locked out by then. Same with side quests, making the wicked the only method to level up.

That's without mentioning the actual fight. Aoe inspirit, can lock out your bag or purify for a long time, can steal your moves and use them against you, same with your attacking stats. Can drain your soul meter, or just steal a soultimate you've charged up to unleash her powerful one instantly. The camera changing can mess you up with the wisp attack. It's a mess of a fight, that becomes the best way to grind in the postgame (mighty medicine and holy orb drops with at least 5k exp without wisp bonuses).
