Okay, I've had this thought in my head for awhile now, and am wondering if anyone knows how it would work;

Okay, so I have 1 creation crystal of each element, the Switch version of Imaginators, and SSA on 3DS. Can someone tell me what would happen if I were, to say...

Create a Fire Knight with Crystal X, Save it to Profile A of my Switch. Crystal X is still empty. Profile A has a Fire Knight with Crystal X's ID.

Then I go onto Profile B of my Switch, take the still empty Crystal X and create a Fire Sorcerer. I save the Fire Sorcerer to Crystal X using Wendel.

Profile A has a Fire Knight saved (with Crystal X's ID), and Crystal X has a Fire Sorcerer saved. [Profile B is now irrelevant to the rest of this post.]

Now, can anyone tell me what will happen when I scan Crystal X to Profile A? Will it show the Fire Knight, using Crystal X's ID? Will it replace the Fire Knight with the Fire Sorcerer inside Crystal X? Or will it clone Crystal X, thus adding both a Fire Knight and a Fire Sorcerer into my game, both belonging to the same Creation Crystal??

And if it does clone the crystal, can you; 1. Create all 10 imaginator classes at once with 1 crystal? or 2. Still save an imaginator to the crystal, now that 2 imaginators with the same toy ID exist in the game's memory?

I think it will load the Fire Knight because regardless of the different character in the toy, it only checks the ID, then prompts the game to load the character already saved with that ID. To load the Fire Sorcerer you would need to delete the Fire Knight from the virtual collection, I don't think you can clone.

Darn. I was really hoping for a way to make different class imaginators without have to restart at level 1 or buy [90] more crystals...

Question - Who do you think should voice Malefor?

This sounds weird, but I think Clancy Brown would be absolutely perfect. Listen to the voice of Neo Cortex in the original Crash Bandicoot: Cortex Strikes Back and imagine Malefor with that voice. It works really well for me.

Malefor needs a deep sexy / scary voice

If you just want to experiment with different classes or store your progress with a 100 class + element combinations or more...
Set up 10 extra profiles, probably named by either class or element, and create 10 imaginators in each profile to store them.
You would only be able to load 1 imaginator per crystal in your primary profile, but with a bit of organization you could delete and update as needed to build up every imaginator.
Just keep track of what you're doing so you don't delete the wrong one by mistake. I would explain the steps, but I don't own a switch. This is basically what someone else said before.

Oh, yeah I could do that easily. Though it'd be a bit tedious. Especially keeping the ability to use every part in the game. Essentially, I'd have to either 100% the game 10 more times [including 10 more tedious Nightmare playthroughs], just so I could freely edit my imaginators without having to; Save the imaginator I want to edit from my battle class profile to the Crystal, Switch profiles, delete whatever imginator of that element is on my main profile, edit it, save the new version to the crystal, switch back to the battle class profile, delete the old version of the character, and upload the new one. I can't just use the battle class profile, cause it'd be missing say 90% of the imaginite pieces my main profile has. If I'm that worried about having all 100 imaginator combinations [and not have to restart at level 1 each class change], I'd rather just bite the bullet and get the 90 more creation crystals during a sale. Not that that'd be the easiest thing in the world. (Dark Crystals...)

Yeah, it would be time consuming for sure. A combination of buying more crystals and the save/delete method seems like the best option.

Question - I know I asked this before, but not people answered. So...what powers does Kaos currently have?

Like, does he have any Darkness powers anymore?
Does he have any Mind Magic? If so, how strong is it?
And he has Portal Mastery right?

This is kinda important so I'd really appreciate an answer.

Darkness powers I'd say are a no go, since now that the Darkness is gone, he lost is powers. it's actually never addressed if Kaos some how got powers back, thinking about it now. Likely some Portal Master Powers.

I didn't think he had Darkness powers anymore, but he still has the symbol so I'm a little confused.
And Mind Magic? Is that still a thing? Because he had that before he had Brain, so what's the deal?
And is his Portal Mastery linked to The Darkness, since he was a Dark Portal Master?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Kaos lost his powers at the end of SSC because The Darkness was defeated and banished.

The latter, I have no clue. The fact that TfB fully ignored SSC's ending still pisses me off to no end.

Yes, his Portal Mastery was linked to the darkness.

So he basically is a regular human being at this point?

Oooohhhh, and the reason he has the symbol on his head still is because The Darkness didn't take it away. It's still there but it now means nothing.

Yeah, the Mind Magic is the only bit I don't get.

Yeha, it's confusing and I do personally blame TfB, as much as I love the guys. Big screw up to not follow on SSC.

Bifrost would know more about this, so maybe tommorah she'll expand!

Well, thanks for the help. I'll wait when more users are on and they also see the question.

I said another day, it's never clearly stated if Kaos was ever a Portal Master because of the plot hole. His Dark Portal Master powers are gone, but TFB's games used the lore as him being a legitimate one that strayed from the path. All that we have is the Darkness' teasing "without them, you'll be just you"(paraphrasing), but being the ultimate evil it could be an exaggeration.

My headcanon is that Kaos is just a regular albino might-be-human that knows magitek. His Mirror of Mystery counterpart seemed powerless or at least just a very standard wizard guy; though that is up to question because he could simply be a lazy pacifist like the Trolls.

Yeah, I pretty sure his Darkness and Portal Master powers are gone, or at least mostly.

But what about Mind Magic? I mean, he was creating Doomlanders before he was being helped by Brain, so does that mean he can has it with no power source or chance of it being taken away?

Dosent he still have the book of mind magic?

That's what I thought. And he still created Doomlanders on his own up until Golden Arcade, so couldn't he keep doing that?

I think that Imaginators really messed up the lore of the series

With all the tech skills required to play Blaster-Tron, I'm surprised that he's a light element

I think he looks more like a cross between magic and tech. Maybe it's because robots, missiles and lasers are usually associated with tech and purple being the colour of magic. Plus, every other light Skylander so far is white and gold making Blaster Tron an odd one out.

It's funny, I was just earlier today displaying all the Light and Dark skylanders together in my bedroom and thinking that exact though about Blaster-tron.

I really wish Blaster-tron had been Tech and that Luminous had been Light.

Wow I haven't posted on here for a ridiculously long time.

Anyway, I'm currently replaying SSA and I was thinking about the future of the franchise. While the sales and lack of interest make it naive, I began to get hope it's not over yet. (Also I'm sorry if this has been said 20 times before, I just want to express how I think about this.)

It has never been confirmed nor denied that Imaginators was the last big console game. TFB did Imaginators last year, so their next game would come out in 2018. I don't remember correctly but I think there was always confirmation for each new game at the start of the year it's coming out, never before. So TFB's next game would get confirmed at the start of 2018.

VV on the other hand couldn't do their game this year since they were working on the Crash remasters. If the things that were said are true, they'll do their game next year and give TFB another year to work on theirs, or they'll wait instead.

What I wanna say is that there really isn't a reason to assume the franchise is dead, since all that happened was one year without game due to another project. I could be wrong, but maybe next year everything will go back to normal and we'll either get another TFB game or a new VV one. Either way, one of the two will have more time to work on a game and that could turn out to be great.

Also, I know it's an easy pun, but one of the weapons in Mario+Rabbids is called Barrel Blaster(DK's vehicle)! Being Ubisoft it might not even be intentional, but until I actually see the description I prefer to think it is.

edit: Description says it's a "blast from the cask" that smells vaguely of cabbage, I don't think it's anything in specific.

I'm hoping for this! It would be nice if the game had a bit more time gone into it, as there are hundreds of little bugs with old characters in Imaginators (I forget what one in particular, but one of the older characters from SSA or Giants has an upgrade that doesn't even work! lol). Not to mention, this gives avid collectors such as myself some more time to pick up characters we couldn't catch beforehand. I think this break was healthy, and by no means the start of a funeral.

So I am a grown man with a full time job and two kids. My real passion is music, I try to get it in when I can, and trying to expand across that I've slowly converted my basemennt theatre/video gaming area - into a music studio. In doing that I've displaced where most of my non-Rainbow6 Siege video gaming stuff was done and is stored - including skylanders. I decided to build/put together/cobble together - a "Toys To Life Corner" in the basement., so I moved all my skylandedrs (the kids skylanders are still elsewhere in the house right now), I moved the Disney Infinity down, I'm going to bring the Amiibos down *maybe, we have 2 Switches and working on getting a 3rd, but I've been doing the Amiibo stickers/NFC tags for Zelda and the such, so I dunno), and I will be moving the LEgo Dimensions stuff down 'sometime soon'.

All that exposition most likely isn't required, I'm just in my own thoughts - sorry - but during the moving process of the skylanders, I let me kids play with them, I had just dumped them off the display into a trash bag and sat it on the other side of the room, and they just had fun playing with the figures, especially Superchargers and Swap Force. Its made me rethink some opinions and question things.

1. For the longest time I've had almost a disdain for the VV entries in the series. Most of it was level design, some of it was character driven, feeling like people were created just for one or two moments, and didn't matter to the overall lore...both SF and SC were the bottom tier of the Skylanders franchise...yet watching my kids - and thinking of myself as well, I have to admit, from a toy perspective, they blew TfB out the water...between SAS, Giants, TT, Imaginators, the figures/gimmicks, were stagnant toys, figurines that were un-posable. But Both SF and SC had gimmicks/elemennts that made the toys fun - outside of the game. My 2 year old daughter was driving the monster truck around the room on the floor, while my son (6) was using the light spaceship (backwards) to fly around in the basement. They then ran through the bag to pull out the SF characters - as a completionist, I have all the base swaps and all the non-chase variants, and for the next half hour they just swapped figures, randomly approaching me to show what they came up with. so I HAVE to solute VV, if not for the games, for the gimmicks being useful even now, when the kids aren't playing the games.

2.I've got a ton of figures and don't know what to do with them. I have grouped everything together, and frowned as I realized I had a couple thousand most likely in figures sitting there, that had depreciated to a couple hundred, not including the boxes of figures I had that were tucked away because my display case didn't have room for the duplicates or multiple series of the same figure. I wonder what I will do with the figures in 5 years?

3. I got upset looking at my elites...I have like 8-10 of them and purchased them with hopes of using them - moving forward...yet here they are, sitting in their display boxes, used for a couple games. They look great, and I can't help but feel guilt that I'm not playing with them right now, but I have no new content to use them on.

4. I miss the series ya'll. I'm fine with them taking a year for the next entry, the market was over saturated, and I want quality over quantity, but I'm falling into a black hole of uncertainty that I'm sure all of you can identify with. My daughter is almost at the age where she can start playing, my son started helping us at 2 and playing at 3 (I still remember when we lived only a few miles from the Cary TRU, and the day a game came out, coming home with al lthe boxes and opening them with my son, it was like Xmas in...the Fall), so I'm sure I'll run the whole series back with her, but still - I miss it.

I'll just give the figures to my younger relatives or friends' children once I feel like I have no attachment anymore. Not TOO young, I want them to last more than a month, but younger me would be elated to get a figurine collection of their own to show off to friends(after a certain age I noticed damaging them was a really bad idea, I think I displayed Polly toys before donating most of my unused stuff), so I want another kid to have what I couldn't : P

Ah nice...I was a frequent at that TRU - 6'6" heavy set black guy, hard to miss heh. While saving up and finding a house we lived at the Wildwoods at Lake Johnson apartment complex for a couple years, I think 2013ish to 2015ish. I LOVED living in that area, especially in the fall when the leaves started falling and I could literally lay my eyes on the lake. I'm down in ***uay now, but I still work at NCSU (changed jobs, then changed jobs again and landed 2 blocks from where I had worked previously), so during lunch I periodically would run to Crossroads after moved...no reason to go anymore. I popped up at TRU yesterday to see if they had a certain Disney Infinity set, when I was moving those my daughter who's raging through the "Frozen" phase, had a ball with the figures, so I was hoping they would still have them marked down *read nope*, and they would have it *nope, just crystal Buzzlightyear and one other triple pack for Gen 1*.

Which levels do you play the most in Imaginators?
I play the last level + the boss fight a lot
The dragons level , Mushroom River and Cursed Tiki Temple.

Thumpin Wumpa Islands

If we count Realms, the Life Realm for sure, cause I need the money.
If not... IDK, the last one maybe?
