#proto beasts

I’m not gonna be one of those people who cries when a Pokémon is shiny-locked especially when it makes little to no sense for them to be shiny in the first place but

(Images from Serebii this time) damn I need them to allow us to get these six amazing shinies at some point

Even though I waited to transfer these to my iPad until I did the same for the Neo Swords (because I accidentally deleted the screenshots I got of the Neo Swords going through the ESP), I’m still posting the trios separately. I’ve also decided these should be posted here rather than my main. Here are the Proto Beasts going through the ESP (including Blueberry/Walking Wake even though I’ve already put it through in the past). Lemon/Raging Bolt seems to have the same problem as Miraidon just not as bad - you can’t see its head

Time Travel Question : Medievalish History 8 and Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.

In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

I acknowledge the fact that my Smash wishlist isn’t really filled with likely choices but I try my best to make sure my Smash wishlist only includes characters/small groups of characters I can actually see getting in as fighters. Here’s me talking about it (couldn’t think of a way to neatly transition into the list)

Robert is outclassed by Goroh and pretty much equally as likely as Pico. I’m gonna say Black Shadow and Jody feel less likely to be chosen as a second F-Zero fighter, at least when the most recent (and only for 20 years) “new” game is 99 which only includes the Original Four as playable characters so new fans would be forgiven for having little to no attachment to anyone else (that said anyone who has access to 99 I believe also has access to every single other game* except GX, assuming they’re on Switch 1 which in this economy they probably are if they have NSO). I don’t think there’s a single other Master Spirit (okay maybe Toadette or the Balance Board and at a push Timmy and Tommy) that feels likely to get in but for some reason Robert being a Master Spirit gives me hope

Ayumi is outclassed by Ryota who honestly feels like the Falcon of Wave Race but she feels more likely than anyone else (David just doesn’t feel like he’d be chosen as a first rep for Wave Race, Miles only appears in 64 making him less relevant, Nigel and Serena only appear in Blue Storm making them less important/well-known and Akari, Ricky and Rob are more likely to represent their home series 1080) and she feels like she could be chosen because of Min Min being chosen over Springman (and to a lesser extent Ribbon Girl)

The Mach Rider isn’t outclassed by anyone. I don’t even think the Excitebiker outclasses her. She’s just unlikely because her game had one instalment on the NES and never returned. Strangely that same justification makes her feel more likely though because she’s a retro choice

The Proto Beasts and Neo Swords are outclassed by (from most to least likely) Meowscarada, Eevee, Ceruledge, Iron Valiant and depending on what direction it takes in upcoming games Zeraora. Also because my idea of them in Smash involves them sharing a gimmick but not being echoes it’s possible that they cannibalise each other’s chances of getting into Smash. And if Pokémon is getting two new reps** rather than just one I guarantee it would be Meowscarada and Eevee. The Proto Beasts and Neo Swords just feel like they bring more to the table than at least Meowscarada*** (Eevee has the potential to be very gimmicky I just doubt they’d take advantage of that). Oh yeah there’s also much more interesting stuff you can do with alts if you choose the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords imo but that might just be me putting thought into it (I might have overdone the colour swap idea. Do they really need colour swaps of their regular appearances and shiny colourations? Because that takes up four alt slots per fighter (if I’m colour swapping so for example Leaves looks like Boulder of course I want an alt where I’m colour swapping so Leaves looks like Crown). And I’m not sure if anyone else thinks the “red, orange and gold for Scarlet” and “purple, blue and silver for Violet” ideas are as fun as I seem to think they are. There’s a very large chance that I only chose those for their eighth alt slots because that’s what I think their fusions would look like if they existed)

*The Satellaview games don’t count I decided **I’m using “rep” to mean “fighter” rather than “character” ***The only thing Meowscarada has going for it (other than being best starter) is that it would complete the half Dark starter trio with Greninja and Incineroar. And it’s (currently) the face of the current Gen

I also felt the need to mention the five main Greatwyrms (I know there’s a sixth I just don’t know how to separate him from the group. For anyone who doesn’t know anything about Dragalia Lost (which is probably most people seeing this post) that’s not as exclusionary as it sounds, he genuinely seems to be separate from the group and frequently ignored or just treated differently) from Dragalia Lost who may be the closest I have to completing a “Top 10 most wanted fighters in Smash” list alongside (including) my top 5. They’re unlikely because they’re mobile-exclusive, the game shut down so even people who played it can’t play it anymore and I’m not sure they’re even owned by Nintendo (I think they’re owned by Cygames). Plus only Brunhilda and Midgardsormr feel likely but that’s fine because I can’t see it getting more than two reps anyway (cries in would love for Mercury, Jupiter and Zodiark to join Smash as well)

I will admit I feel very smug that my translation for ProtoMerlin as Beast of the Stars was actually correct.

Let it be known I did NOT make Valin with love when I was creating a Warlock for myself. I'd made it to the Farm twice with two other attempted Warlocks but the vibes were off, so I decided to try a new beast entirely and made a Valin. He was originally going to have black hair and patternations but I found it too boring...

The red was garish and I wasn't too sure I liked what I had made but I decided to commit to that horrible beast and he has since grown on me like a fungus.

A FEAST OF THE BEAST ON THE ROAD TOUR -- DEEP SOUTH, AMERICAN STYLE.

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on English heavy metal band IRON MAIDEN, performing live at the Auditorium North Hall in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, on August 8th, 1982. 📸: Keenan Neighbor.

Also on the bill that night were Germany's SCORPIONS (the headlining act), and the UK's GIRLSCHOOL. Of course, MAIDEN completely blew the doors off this gig and stole the show in the process. Sorry, Scorps.

The Human Beast - Volume One

An underrated Heavy Prog album from 1970. Great songs, great sense of humour and a great cover of an Incredible String Band track.

It's not much but I can hold a pen again for long enough that I managed to make an enemy aggro circle thingie.
