forum Video games, anyone?

Didn't see a chat about this yet, so here I am.
Here's a little list of some of the games I'm into:
Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Skyrim, Stardew Valley, L.A. Noire, Pokemon

Not many people on this site into video games, huh? Well, that's just stupid.

Not really. It is a writing site, after all. I did come across someone else at some point who liked Pokemon, but that's about it.

True, I like Pokemon and Animal Crossing a lot actually

Far Cry Franchise, Halo, Elder Scrolls, Infamous, Prototype, CoD, anime games.

Also, can I just say how stupid it is that whenever I mention I like Nintendo, people treat me like some little sh!t and say Playstation is better. I don't care which console you are on. I personally don't like the Xbox One, but I won't hate on someone for liking it

I'm a Nintendo person. I have never owned a console that wasn't Nintendo. PS is cool, but they don't have Animal Crossing, Pokemon, or Fire Emblem. (Fire Emblem is probably my favorite franchise, btw).

I prefer watching people play long, story-driven video games, while I play mostly multiplayer kid-friendly nostalgia games. So, my favorite games to watch others play are Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Last of Us, Final Fantasy, etc. While I mostly just play super smash bros, mario kart, and old gamecube games.

Oh, yeah, I've played some Legend of Zelda games. They're a lot of fun. I've also played smash and Mario Kart a good bit. I'm pretty solid at MK, but I'm awful at Smash and other fighting games.

I've recently gotten myself addicted to breath of the wild

I haven't played that one yet, but I've heard it's really good. I got a Switch about three weeks ago after trading a ton of old games and consoles in, so I still only have like 4 games on it. I really want to get Breath of the Wild and Fire Emblem Warriors, but the games are all so expensive…

Ooh, I'm a fan of video games! I kind of have to be, considering I'm a developer myself.

Nice!

I play Battlefront a lot, I also like Pokemon*, and my brother has like 7 lego video games that I play with him a lot . I've always wanted to play Portal but I can never find a freaking copy for my console

*I have White 2 and I'm surprisingly bad at Pokemon (I didn't know that was possible lol). I'm on my way to battle the elite four, but I have to get up this cliff that's an absolute maze. Everyone there is a lot stronger than I am, and I keep getting lost on my way up, so all of my pokemon faint before i can get to the top. I haven't played in months because it's just so frustrating

Are you playing Sun/Moon? Who's on your team? That could be the problem here.

It's White Version 2, and my team is:
Level 54 Arcanine
Level 57 Samurott
Level 53 Zebstrika
Level 53 Unfezant
Level 61 Zoroark
Level 53 Haxorus*

*I spent like an hour trying to catch the Haxorus because my brother told me he was really powerful (I mean he's a dragon type, so), but he's practically useless. His moves are terrible and I don't think there's a way to get him any better moves?

I tried to make my team pretty balanced, but if you have any suggestions that'd be great

If I leveled up my team some more I'm sure I would be fine, but I thought that level 50 was supposed to be high enough to get through the game? Maybe I imagined that.

Ahhh, sorry. I don’t know. I haven’t played through Black/White. The only one of those I’m really familiar with is Arcanine, and while I used it on my team for a while, it didn’t make the final cut, partially because single-type Pokemon tend to not do as well.

@FormerPeach Buddy, Haxorus can be utterly broken if you know how to use it right! In fact, there's an important trainer later on that gives it a Life Orb. I'm not familiar with Black/White 2, but Haxorus has some very good TM moves and there are some great level-up moves if you go from its preevolution Fraxure.

Okay, thanks!

Hey! I'm Jax :) I play Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Splatoon - also TWEWY but not much. I'm looking into Fire Emblem, is it good?

Fire Emblem is only my favorite game franchise

Fire Emblem is fantastic for strategy, though I would recommend the newer 3DS games as they are easier on newcomers.

Yes, I'm newer to the franchise (my first game was Awakening), and it's mostly user friendly if you do a newer game. Of the 3DS titles, I like Echoes and Awakening best for different reasons.

I used to love playing things like epic mickey power of 2 and such on my wii before it broke, I haven't really had any other consoles except i have a ds and and old broken xbox, I can play Assasins Creed black flag on there and I playes through Army of 2 and I love them, Ive played overwatch at my friends place and I love it! I also love mario cart as well I play it on my ds. I'm saving for a consol but I'm unsure of what I'll get yet

I've only ever owned Nintendo consoles, sooooo if you can't tell, I'm super biased. Otherwise I would make suggestions.
