To be more clear, in the Diancie movie all three of the Kalos starters' final evos are villainous, belonging to trainers trying to catch Diancie for their own purposes.

You only earn points (personally) in a Conquest by using a character that's participating in it. Every use will earn points for that character's side. When the Conquest is over, you'll earn rewards if the side you used the most (earned the most points in) wins.

It's been a long while but I believe the "this is a Conquest match" notification will show up if any participant in the match is using a character related to the Conquest, not just you.

Though there's also an heroic Greninja that shows up in the anime proper under the ownership of Sanpei. Also Ash himself might just get a Greninja so yeah.

It's an odd choice no matter how you look into it tongue

I plan on getting a Shulk amiibo, if I can.

Or maybe Rosalina.

Whoever is available.

[up][up]Right, but I think that since Greninja's first appearance in the anime was in that movie, it probably did influence the decision to add the mon to the Villains side this Conquest.

[up]Just know that both of them are store exclusives. Rosalina will be exclusive to Target, and Shulk to Gamestop.

I don't think either are out right now.

Though I guess they could've just gone with "pragmatism = bad" as the reasoning for putting Greninja there.

I think the reasoning went as such:

"We need a pokemon villain for the next conquest." "Greninja is the only one that isn't a mascot we will continue to milk for the next 15-20 years, sucks to be frogs"

Cue Gen VII giving Greninja two Mega evos.

I really hope more of the amiibos will be compatible with future games. I want more reason to buy the more expensive ones...

Is if people didn't think he was OP-ed enough! I do look forward to an eventual Mega!Ninja, eventually...

Anyway, I'll just have to have fun with this whatever team they've assigned him to :)

Dad just told me that he's bidding on Fox amiibos on ebay so he can sell em back when the demand goes up for them again.

Scalping...how awful...

I tell him that there's a chance that Nintendo might make more when the new Star Fox is out and they won't stay as valuable. But he says that unless they do, he plans to sell them at maybe $60 back.

;p Well, he IS the one who turned me on to Star Fox in the first place. He bought Star Fox 64 for himself, though I'm the one who ended up playing it more. He also got Metroid Prime for himself, but I'm the one who finished it...

There's apparently going to be an antagonistic shiny Greninja in the anime sometime in March.

Greninja is a ninja

Now I want a crossover with [nja] and Greninja.

Is this a Jo Jo reference?

... So Greninja does have teeth then.

Wait, are you sure that's official? I never saw anything about that before.

It's not. Remember the "evil Greninja" avatar I had? Same artist. Apparently he made mock up anime "screenshots" of his OC Team Rocket member and Greninja.

Figures, the pictures looked rather odd to be official. Also the twitter itself seemed pretty suspicious.

Really, those are fake? Damn, I was looking forward to that. I did find it odd how the trainer seemed to be part of Team Rocket.

Also there's the little detail that Shiny Greninja's tongue is red instead of pink tongue

I've never paid attention to the color of the tongue. Now I look like an idiot.

Huh, well other than the lack of actual Team Rocket members besides Meowth, and I have trouble seeing Greninja getting by with pointy teeth and the tongue color thing. Those certainly look like they could be in anime, or an anime at least.

All that shine the images have really contrasted with the look of the Anime itself.

Not shiny shine, but that shine some artstyles have.

Also, I guess Smash!Greninja is confirmed badguy. Let's hope he's not... bad guy?
