Elora needs to return. She was one of the most unique characters in the Spyro franchise, Classic & Legend combined.

A remake of EtD would be cool, that game was so promising.

We need more females in general, both old and new ones WITHOUT making them look suggestive!

Anything can be made suggestive by someone, somewhere.

Without making them look suggestive? Don't understand you.

The reason there was a boom in Cynder porn after DotD is becasue of Cynder's elaborated hourglass figure.

@sonicbrawler I know but it'll help if the character in question doesn't have a figure which is considered sexually attractive by most people.

URGH! That was annoying.

Oh, you guys. Sometimes, your naivete can be amusing. Trust me when I say that literally anything can be made suggestive. I've done risque stuff with Sheila and you don't even want to know some of the horrible things I've seen out there (Brave Little Toaster porn...can't...unsee... *sob*).

......I'm so glad I don't visit DeviantArt/any other fanart website D:

dA is nothing. If you're under age, you won't even see what little risque stuff exists there. But other places on-line... *shudder*

Funny. I'm only a 15 year old boy and hardly anything sexual disgusts me.

That's because you're a 15 year old guy.

^ This

What way do you mean that?

The only male teenager I ever met who was bothered by porn was an asexual. You've got so many hormones going through you right now, I'd be more worried if you said you did find porn disturbing.

Don't think I ever will. As a kid, I never really found "icky" stuff like bugs disturbing. I know guys who would be disturbed by porn though, especially VG porn!

So...uh....can we ditch talking about mai hormones and get back to Classic Spyro?

Glady.

Uh...classic Spyro is pretty awesome. That's all I can think to say just now.

Oh yeah, I got those Skill Points in Spyro 2 yesterday. Can't believe I never noticed them! I'm ashamed to call myself a Classic Spyro fan!

I never knew what YotD's skill points were for when I first played it.... I didn't really use the internet back then, and I had no guide. Then all of a sudden this epilogue appears on my game, and I had no idea what I'd done to unlock it

Did you get all the skill points? There are seventeen, I think, and they unlock a silly little epilogue and some unused concept character models. The skill points in YotD do the same.

That reminds me of the time I first time I booted up Sonic Mega Collection Plus! You see, there is a little feature that automatically unlocks two, non-Sonic games for you if you have a save file of Sonic Heroes on your memory card. I didn't know this when I first got the game though, and I had a Sonic Heroes save. So, when I started it up, it just said:

"You unlocked Comix Zone!"
"You unlocked The Ooze!"

I was just like,"uh...cool?"

Anyway, I REALLY want to find YotD!
EDIT: Sorry Razz, I was typing at the same time as you!
Anyway, there are 16 of them, and I got them all. It was pretty easy, but the epilogue was funny, and the unused characters were cool(especially the angel bat-cat thingy)!
YotD has twenty skill points, I believe.

Anything can be made suggestive, yes, but it certainly didn't help prevent all the rule 34 of Cynder the way they chose to design her in DotD. If they would have at least given her accurate anatomy....

But yeah, the skill points. I knew they existed all along because I kept finding random ones throughout the game, but it took a while to actually find and win them all, and some of them I even had to look up. I would have never found Agent 9's Powerup (the button in the Agent 9 level in Fireworks Factory) without the help of the internet.

Pretty much. As someone who was a part of the Cynder fanbase before there was 34 of her at all, I was there when it went from about five pieces (mostly ANB Dark Cynder) to more than I could count (all DotD Cynder).

Wait...Agent 9's power up? I am intrigued. I never really tried to get the skill points in YotD (since some of them revolved around skateboarding and I could barely even get the eggs out of those levels).

To be fair though, Spyro fans have a lot less porn to worry about than say, Starfox, Digimon, Pokemon and Sonic fans. And most of the really bad Cynder(or Spyro franchise art in general) art is usually only found if you actually look for it.

Agent 9's power up gives you 500 rapid fire bullets, if I'm not mistaken.

^ Yeah, that was it.


That powerup was so, so helpful for that level.

Oh god.... I remember that level now. I died SOOO many times when I was a kid!

Okay, but as I said there's less porn if the character's aren't intended to be what many call sexy. I would bet porn of really kiddy things are fairly rare, right?

Another think I like is the odities in Spyro 2. It's an accidental extra that keeps you interested after the boss is dead, the objects found and the skill points earned.

Well, I doubt the creators intended for Cynder to be "sexy". Honestly, if you went and asked a bunch of regular, non-gaming people if she was, what do you think they would say? My guess would be,"are you alright there?". And there is a ton more Pikachu porn, Sonic porn, Tails porn, Mario porn, etc, and I doubt many people find them sexy(well..... maybe a few female Sonic fans find him attractive).

Spyro 2 oddities? They were okay. It's not my favourite game to look for oddities in though.

Oh c'mon, you can't tell me a bunch of people charged with the task of making a game where ALL the characters were animals were oblivious to the furry fandom and its dark side. Even if they were, someone on the design team must have noticed the hourglass figure and realized that sickos would do something foul with it.

If it was done intentionally, I doubt it was with the intention of boosting sales massively. You would have to be crazy to think that would work.

TBH, compared to many other characters I've seen, Cynder is pretty clean in terms of design. In fact, when I first seen her on the back of the ANB box, I thought she was a boy!

There you guys go again with your hopeful optimism about adults. I don't recommend looking this up, but there is something known as the bored animator syndrome. Animators draw more raunchy porn than anyone else, and most of them are working on kids' shows. Cynder was made sexy on purpose, right down to wearing bondage jewelry. Mike and Chris knew what they were doing with that one and you can try to tell yourself they didn't mean it that way, but there's far too much obvious evidence that says they did.

There's more porn of kiddy things than non-kiddy things, I'm afraid. Just look at all the Sonic and Pokemon nastiness out there. D: And, no, Sonicbrawler, these things don't just appeal to the ladies (I personally find Sonic revolting, but I know hundreds of guys who commission sexy Sonic art for themselves). In fact, there's more nasty male/male art of famous characters within the certain communities than anything else.

And, confound it, why did this topic devolve into a discussion of Cynder porn? D: She really does ruin everything.

Yea, come on we are supposed to be talking about classic Spyro here. this is ridiculous!

can we please drop this nonscense?

I know, sorry!

I also agree that the sexual things about her are too numerous to be and accident.

I think the guy/guy stuff could be a reaction to crap pairings. I for one enjoy CLEAN (as in cute/emotional NON sexual) Spyro/guy stuff as opposed to anything with him and Cynder! Sorry!

Anyway I'm done now, NO MORE TALK OF PORNZ!

I was just saying they probably didn't do it as an attempt to boost sales, it was probably out of boredem or something. If it was to boost sales, then...... epic fail, is all I can say.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply it's only among females as I know all too well it's not.
As for Sonic, I just think his design is cool and funny. I don't even think about sexual stuff when looking at him.

And Cynder? No being my avatar for a week, missy!(Reverse Fourth Wall-Breaking FTW!)

Now, does anyone know of any competitive Spyro gaming sites? (Random question to bring things on topic)

And this is why I'm asexual.

I don't think there are any specific comp Spyro sites, as there just isn't a large enough base for it.

The closest thing to that I could think of would be youtube; I've seen people do speedruns, skateboard levels, and stuff like that, record it, upload it to youtube, and make a contest out of it.

Oh, ok. Well, it was worth a try!

When I was playing Season of Flame yesterday, I was in the Shamrock Isles level and was ashamed to see that even a Spyro game had a go at Irish stereotypes!

I don't think it was very steriotypical; so they used shamrocks horseshoes and leprichauns, so what? That could easily be chalked up to the fairy tale esque style of the game. It's not like they had random irishmen stumbling around drunk and getting into random fights. Now THAT'S a steriotype.

Speaking of Season of Flame and Season of Ice, I was playing them some time ago and I couldn't help but feel... I dunno... comforted, at ease, like things were all alright. I know it sounds silly, but the diversity in characters and settings and all the collectables and the mere sight of Spyro, Sparx, Sheila, Agent Nine, Hunter, Bianca and all the rest as they once were... It just seemed so... Right to me!

Ohoho, I wasn't talking about that!
I was talking about the way Brian(such an Irish name!) says,"top o' the mornin' to ya!". A lot of games and movies make Irish people say that, yet I have NEVER heard an Irish person say that, unless they were quoting a movie! And I'm Irish and still live in Ireland, and anyone I ask also says they have never heard anyone say that! We consider it a funny stereotype, seeing as we don't actually use the phrase, yet a lot of fictional Irish characters use it.

OH! Okay sorry! lol...

I know!

It's one of the reasons why I want to do voice acting. To give a cartoon/video game character a REAL Irish personality!

The characters were horribly disfigured in SoI and SoF unless looking at the artworks (which is still in a strange anime style, somewhat). That's not right.

A cute purple Rhynoc is right, though.


And yes, I feel sympathy for you, SB. It's all Ireland is ever remembered for in the E-rated rest of the world. I know all about the great cities, and the wealth of ancient history...and the IRA bombings, but there has to be bad where there's good, right?

Trust me, Irish people are VERY different to what general media potrays us as. I myself, am not too "Irish" in personality. A lot of people say I have developed an American accent. Although, not all of the realities are bad, some are very bad. There are even some Irish stereotypes that have not been touched by the media outside of Ireland, probably because it would be seen as highly offensive. Also, the "leprachaun" accent is really over used. And I can think of many REAL Irish greetings.

One movie that is a great example of how young Irish people really act is "Inside I'm Dancing". It also goes by the name "Rory O' Shea Was Here". It also gives great insight into the life of a disabled person.

Gah, off topic, AGAIN!

Hey, does anyone have any AMVs of Elora? I can only find one on Youtube and it's over a year old D:

I don't have any. I could make one though.

I would really love that. I'd like to make one myself, but I have no idea what kind of song to use - Any suggestions?

Well, if you head over to my "Character Themes" thread, I have updated it with more characters, Elora being one. I used an instrumental song, but it fits her well!:3

Aww, but stereotyping nationalities can be fun! :P Especially inoffensive ones like that.

Yeah, but the Irish ones are booooriiing.... Irish people have funnier traits in real life!

Gah, stupid Cynder always has to have her name mentioned EVERYWHERE. This isn't a Cynder porn topic. D:

I know, right? D: If I had the energy, I'd be tempted to start up another "don't even say her name" topic, but I'm not interested enough and I don't have time to offer a sketch as a reward.
