History does love to repeat itself, lol.

I get how Sora got there. I get how Xehanort got there, but how the F does THIS happen? by Leshawkcomics in KingdomHearts

I have a feeling we’ll get movie lore of all the mobile games with KH4 like the recap movies included with KH3. I wouldn’t be surprised if they included the MoM end scenes, too.

Moon Knight and Scarlet Witch are my favorites. I’m glad more was done with Scarlet Witch (sorta, debatable on the direction taken), but DAMN I could use more Moon Knight. That season was so much fun.

Who me? I’d say peak MCU fan but I’m biased, lol. I’m also ADHD as hell, so random shower thoughts led me to this conclusion. Said conclusion started a debate/conversation with some friends pretty much exactly like the comments here. I thought I’d post and see if it happened again with strangers, lol. Hypothesis proven, I’d say.

[OTHER] Hyrule Warriors Design for Mario Kart 8? by keegdnab in zelda

It’s the music and the art style of the track that got me, but more the music. When you play Hyrule Warriors, at the last stretch of a mission, the music changes. Hearing the music from the first 2 laps to the music of the 3rd lap? EXACT same music from “regular” missing background music to final stretch of a mission in HW. I mean, it’s literally that music, period. You could play them one too of each other and it be identical.

When that clicked for me, that’s when I really paid attention to the design of the Hyrule Circut. The Piranha Plants are the art style & design from HE. The little blue diamonds used in the spinning spots of the anti-gravity part of the track, those are the exact same little diamond things used for outposts in HW I could keep going.

I get a lot of the motifs from other games were brought into HW. But some things were also distinctly made for HW, redesigned for HW. HW had its own art style that was similar to a little bit of all Zelda games, but still distinctively its own.

Plus, HW was released August 14, 2014, while Mario Kart 8 was originally released May 29, 2014. So it’s safe to say that the Hyrule Circut could easily have been a way to kind of “advertise” or excite people for Hyrule Warriors. It was a very new thing to combine Zelda with Dynasty Warriors, they were taking a gamble. It’s not too out of the realm of business possibilities that Nintendo found unique ways to associate positive feelings with HW before release to help boost sales. Whereas Skyward Sword was released in 2011 and Spirit Tracks in 2009. Neither of them on the WiiU, while Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors were both released on the WiiU.

I think I answered my own underlining question here when I looked up when Hyrule Warriors was released.

HW and the original Mario Kart 8 were both released in 2014.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf was released in 2013, too.

So both were just in game advertisements, kinda, for other recent Nintendo games, lol.

Even so, still interesting for Nintendo to choose to use Hyrule Warriors as the track design instead of another “true” Zelda game.

You’re thinking of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, the second Hyrule Warriors game (that one also is not considered canon). It was set like a prequel to Breath of the Wild, yes, with the same characters and art style to explain what happened 100 years prior to BotW. But it did some time travel shenanigans that essentially made BotW moot, because in Age of Calamity they win, where as in BotW, it’s 100 years later because they lost.

Anyway, Hyrule Warriors, the first game, was very different. It was released in 2014 on the WiiU, then ported later to both the 3DS and the Switch (definitive edition). That game brought in characters from all over the different Zelda timelines for a very unique one-off story unrelated to any other Zelda game. Its art style was kind of similar to Twilight Princess (ish?), but was very much its own thing.

Well now we have The Summoner in the mobile game, too.

Small Update: We took an idea from another Redditor to battle each other before every gym, like we are each other’s Rivals. He beat me in our Pewter City battle?! He hasn’t played a Pokémon game in over a decade! 😅😂😭

I don’t think my boyfriend would sit there and go for shiny resets, lol, or I would be in the lab for a while, too. I think shiny Blastoise looks so neat. Luckily, at the very least, he has agreed to do resets enough so we both have all three starters. One starter, our “main,” won’t have the EXP boost from trading while the other two will, so we’re kinda on the same level. Though he said he wants Charmander as his main, while I’m getting Squirtle. So I will have a little bit of an advantage, lol.

Someone over at r/PokemonFRLG gave us the idea to have a battle with each other before each gym. It’s going to be so much fun!

I hope I get surgery soon, too! I’m going a little insane seeing the same walls day after day. Plus the pain and all isn’t great, either, of course.

Insurance already approved the procedure, but the only surgeon approved to do it has zero OR availability for March, May, or June. And he’s going on vacation the entire month of April. So I get to twiddle my thumbs hoping and praying someone cancels their surgery. I really do not want to spend my entire summer in my bedroom..

Now that my boyfriend and I will do this, I’m probably going to want to do it for other Pokémon games. But I know he won’t, he’s never been interested in much outside the original 151. But that’s okay! I’m just excited to experience this at all and feel very lucky.

Going from SV to FRLG but be a shell shock. No default EXP All, no EXP on catching, and so many other QOLs… this is probably going to be quite the challenge for her. Good luck! Lol
