First post of 2021! WOO!

Sonia doesn't actually study Pokemon, she studies Galar's history, so I won't count her.

8. Kukui
Yes, he has a great personality, but he KILLED A WILD GROWLITHE. Need I say more?

7. Magnolia
Oh yeah, she exists. She barely does anything in the story.
To be fair, neither do Oak, Elm, Birch, or Rowan.

6. Elm
As I've said, I've never played a Johto game, so I don't really have an opinion on him.

5. Rowan
Never played a Sinnoh game either, so I don't really know much about him. I've seen more about him online than Elm, so I'm putting him higher.

4. Oak
Ah, the OG.
He's cool.
And he's great in the anime.
But I like others more.

3. Sycamore
He's really cool, man. He speaks slight French. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?
Oh yeah, he has a Garchomp in the anime.
That's cool.
Oh yeah, he also gives you 2 starters.

2. Juniper
HELL YEAH THE FIRST FEMALE PROFESSOR
She's cool.
And she's one of very few characters in the games to have a dad.

1. Birch
One of the only dads in the Pokemon games. He actually leaves his lab, unlike some of the other ones on this list. Also, he has the balls to wear sandals when he works outside.
Also, he's the Professor of Hoenn.
And Hoenn is the BEST region.

What are your rankings of the Professors?

This is a combination of my personal opinions and overall viability.

18. Bug
I have Entomophobia, so I hate bugs. There are cool bug Pokemon, like Scizor, Scyther, Heracross, and Dweeble, but it's probably one of the worst types.

17. Poison
I wish Poison was better. It's only super effective against Grass and Fairy, the former of which already has so many hecking weaknesses, and Steel, an already stupidly defensive type, is immune to Poison. There aren't many memorable Poison types.

16. Ice
Very fragile defensively, as it only resists itself. Ice is Super Effective against 4 types, one of which being Dragon, which is nice, though. It's also Super Effective against Ground, which is a really good offensive type, being Super Effective against 5. Ice is ALSO Super Effective against Grass. Again.

15. Rock
Why do both Rock and Ground exist

14. Normal
It's just bland. Not super effective against anything, and only weak to Fighting. Still somehow has some of the toughest gyms, though.

13. Fighting
I don't really have a strong opinion of Fighting. Resisted by 5, but also Super Effective against 5.

12. Dark
Honestly Dark was only created to counter Psychic.

11. Fairy
Similar to Dark, but against Dragons instead.

10. Flying
...so does Flying represent Air or Birds?
Apparently both.
Also Flying has literally been paired with every single type, no joke.

9. Ground
Electric's only weakness, also good against 5 types, including the bulk that is Steel.

8. Steel
Good against 10/17 types. Very good defensively.
Nothing else.

7. Ghost
Spooky. Immune to 2 types.
Not much else.

6. Dragon
Stronk. Also really badass.

5. Psychic
Used to be Stronk. Also also really badass.

4. Water
There's a lot of them, and they're cool for the most part. They can be pretty much ANYTHING, from tanks (Alomamola) to Sweepers (Greninja) to Get-rid-of-all-stat-buffers (Quagsire).

3. Grass
Weak to so many things, but like Water, can fill pretty much any role, to an even greater degree. Statuser(Amoonguss), Set-uper(Ferrothorn), Sweeper(Leafeon), Speedy Special Attacker with a f*ck ton of Physical moves(Sceptile); you name it, Grass has been it.

2. Fire
GROWLITHE

1. Electric
Shocking, isn't it?
I donno, I just like Electric. Probably because a lot of Electric types are Glass Cannons, which is one of my favorite architypes.

Your mains are basically who play as most.

I have a few that I would call mains.

Main Mains:
Luigi (Blue Hat or Yellow alts)
Pac-Man (Purple Wrist Band or Oven Mitts alts)
Dr. Mario (Green or Purple alts)
Snake (Camo alt)
Dedede (Green Alt)

Close to main mains:
Mewtwo (Teal alt)
Villager (Yellow)
Mii Swordfighter (Waluigi Mii)
Wario (Green Biker Alt)
Toon Link (Zelda 1 alt)
Duck Hunt (Border Collie alt)

Not Main Mains, but I still play them quite a but:
Mario (Gray, Green, or American alts)
Ness (Green alt)
Lucas (Boney Shirt alt)
Steve (Tennis Alt)
Young Link (Orange Alt)
Icies (Green and Yellow Alt)
Pokemon Trainer (Ethan/Green alt)

Trying to learn to main:
Lucario (Green+Purple alt)
Mii Brawler (Waluigi Mii)
Shulk (Mostly Naked Alt)
Roy (Green or Yellow Alt)

Yeah, he could add a Drift stat, which would determine how fast the Mini-Turbo comes out, but I think he should also add a Mini-Turbo stat, which would determine how long the Mini-Turbo boost is.
Also, @OPOSSUM_, Funky Kong all gives a slight boost in the offroad stat, which is helpful on Sherbert Land and Shy Guy Beach.

Handling in this game is kinda weird. The higher the Handling, the faster the Mini-Turbo comes out. With how fast the blue Mini-Turbo comes out, it allows the player to snake not unlike in Mario Kart DS. While Birdo has the same Handling as Daisy, Daisy is used instead because she has higher speed.

I feel like they make sense as being cheaper than the Mario collection. All 3 games in each trilogy run on the same engine, which makes things slightly easier. They all use the same physics, reuse certain assets from the other games, and generally play almost exactly the same between all 3 in the trilogy. They just only allow Crash/Spyro to use certain moves in each game. All 3 games in 3D All-Stars run on different engines, with completely different movesets for Mario, and completely different text boxes, enemies, and physics.

True, but I mean, they could have at least acknowledged Galaxy 2 in the end part where they list the mainline games in the series.

Also, Nintendo put 5 games in the original All-Stars. (Super Mario 1, 2, 3, World, and Lost Levels)

Also also, you've started school already? Huh. I don't start 'till next Tuesday.)

I'm a little upset that Galaxy 2 isn't in the collection, but I'm more upset 3D Land isn't in there.
Oh well, 3D Land was at least acknowledged by Nintendo. Seriously, why did they exclude Land 2 and Galaxy 2?

This is probably just me, but I'm hoping for the 64DS Minigames to be added to 3D All-Stars. Those are all really fun.
Picture Poker is the best, there's no arguing about that. Heck, I'd say Picture Poker is better than the entirety of Mario Kart Tour. It's more fun, it's more engaging, and it's simpler, which is a good thing.

Bowser's Fury looks cool.

Super Mario 35 looks chaotic.

Mario Kart: Home Circuit looks...okay. People could make incredible stuff with that, but...i don't know. It just looks okay.

It's been a while since I last did a ranking topic, huh?

This is VERY opinionated, so don't get too mad, please.

10. Galar
No elite four? Lacking post-game options? EVEN MORE MEOWTH AND CHARIZARD FAVORITISM? NO O IN THE NAME????? CUTTING OUT MOVES THAT SHOULDN'T BE CUT OUT LIKE FIXED DAMAGE MOVES AND DOUBLE SLAP??????????????????? ADDING SINGLE USE TMS BACK?????????????????????????????????????????
Yeah, I don't like Galar.

9. Sinnoh
While the Platinum Dex is pretty good, the Diamond/Pearl dex is honestly kinda stupid. Most of the evolutions created are for Pokemon not native to the region, such as Eevee and Magmar, and the only non-starter fire types are Ponyta and Rapidash.
Yikes.
Also the game is slower than a Paralyzed Shuckle after being hit by String Shot 11 times.

8. Alola
It tried something new, and it kinda worked.
...but I honestly don't really care much for this game. It added some great stuff, but also some needless complications.

7. Johto
It's alright. I've never played a Johto game, though, so I have no real opinion on it.

6. Ferrum
Pokken is great, man.

5.Orre
Colosseum and XD were underrated as heck. Also, I know there are other spin-off Pokemon regions, but I've never played ANY of the spin-offs other than XD, Pokken DX, and Rumble World, and I don't even know what the region is called in Rumble World.

4. Kalos
Props to Game Freak for creating another villainous team that's somewhat intimidating. Almost.  I know people say this game's easy, but if you just give your self 1 handicap, the game becomes quite a bit harder, honestly. I did a Fire (& gift) Pokemon only run a few weeks ago. I had to try 3 times to beat Grant, even when allowing myself to use the trade Steelix. Also, Calem/Serena is a kind-of competitive rival, so that's nice. You might say they're not because of how nice they act once you beat them, but...wasn't Gary in the anime like that too?

3. Unova
A fresh start to Pokemon. No returning Pokemon (before post game, even though you see Pikachu things everywhere, but you can't get it), amazing music, 2 rivals, with one of them being like a veteran playing the game for a second time, being one step ahead, and someone else who is basically playing it for their first time, but they also know about held items and have actually good movesets HOW
...but anyways, Unova is pretty underrated. But if you're going to choose between Black and White...choose White. It's by far the superior version.

2. Kanto
Ah, the original. The classic.
This is only here because it was the region that created Growlithe.

1. Hoenn
Too much water? What the bloody heckeroni are you talking about? Water is amazing. Water gives life. And hey, you gotta give players SOME incentive to choose the Grass starter. That aside, the Hoenn games are great. Good writing, "friendly" rivals that aren't easy, great new Pokemon, a godly soundtrack, and best of all:
Good Writing. I know I already said that, but the script is honestly pretty good.
Also trumpets

Just because we heard a Song in the reveal trailer doesn't mean it will get in the game, as there are several songs that were in Mii Fighter reveals that aren't in the game.

Ah.


...wait, Square Enix is letting Smash have more than 3 things from Final Fantasy?

I don't believe it.

Wait, who?

I have NEVER heard of them.

So, originally, when I was about 10, I just knew I wanted to have a YouTube Channel. At the time, I played Sm4sh a lot, and I was maining Duck Hunt and Luigi in that. So, I decided to make the channel icon a mix of the Duck Hunt dog and Luigi. (Imagine the Dog sprite from the OG game with a Luigi hat) I wanted to name like that, too, and LuigiDawg just stood out to me. It rolls off the tongue well, is unique, and features 2 of my favorite things- Luigi and Dogs. I've used that as my username for almost everything, with 2 exceptions that I can think of. First is Pokemon Showdown, where my username was The Growlithe Guy, because I love Growlithe (I use that as my backup option when LuigiDawg is taken), and Pokemon Go, where both LuigiDawg and The Growlithe Guy were both apparently taken already. So, I ended up going with Cowbiiiiiiiii, because of the Cowboy hat I was wearing. Yes, I had to put in that many i's for that to work.

Luigi, obviously. It's right in the username.

"A couple days"? Dude, you've been unactive for almost 2 weeks now. You have LIED to us.

I own a GameCube. Not only do I have Double Dash and Mario Party 7, I also own

Toad's Factory. It has great music, cool obstacles, and even provides insight into how item boxes are made.

Dude, you didn't make the rules of this topic, you didn't make this topic, and you can't tell him what to do. The P-wing isn't really a power up in 3D Land, and in 3 it's basically a powered up Super Leaf. The rest of them are basically the same as other power ups.

My Rankings:
27. Cape Feather
Really hard to control. Like, seriously, is there anybody out there who actually knows how this thing works?

Literally every thing else

1. 1UP Mushroom
Give you an extra chance. Would love to have this in real life.

Those are my super accurate and correct listings of every Mario Power-up.

And also take one step and then again
