Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
a reason for sparx talking is probaly because he is a playable charcter now, so the people who made it just made him be able tol talk for no reason

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
What you said: a reason for sparx talking... made him be able tol talk for no reason.
Sorry, lol, that just sounded funny.
I meant an ACTUAL reason in the Spyro universe, not our universe

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
haha, dont worry about it, i know what you are getting at anyway. I find it debatable if Sparx Should talk in a game that i create in, even if there is a good reason

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
I hate Moneybags in this game. He seems so old and stupid and not the moneybags I know, just flame him and charge him and he's such a downer. Spyro sounds so lazy and talks like this all the time. "Yeah, yeah and yeah can we just get on with this?" Gnasty is rubbish, he overeacts when he gets beaten and he says "You've beaten me!" when you have not, overgrown fungus. WHAT'S THE POINT OF ZOE? An annoying fairy who zaps you with her wand to save your progress and SPARX?! Once again you have to defeat fooder to release a butterfly and blah blah blah.
And yeah it follows a storyline where an evil dragon is going to take over the world and its your job to stop him.
Buy TLOS, its much better, more spectacular moves and more storyline.

I Have TLOS and i hate it.
Zoe is to save your progress if you havn't noticed. And The Sparx health bar system is very unique!

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
In Zoe the Fairy's defense she does have a good 1-liner in AHT. "When a fairy zaps you like this... *zap* That means your progress is saved. Also, you lose a million brain cells." Then Spyro starts talking about it being a bit extreme and Zoe has a zappy fit 'till Spyro says its cool. Hehehe I thought it was pretty funny!
"The phoenix hope, can wing her way through desert skies. And still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise."

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
I'm not arguing but I'm just saying that why can't there be a checkpoint gem that saves your progress? Not just a fairy. Also the game thinks I'm a baby because a annoying fairy TRINA?! Goes telling you what to do and it gets annoying. *Ahem* Don't we have a manual?

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
That Trina can get pretty annoying and theres no way to turn the tutorials off. I hate the Moneybags in this game, how you'll be walking in a level close to one of his shops and he starts talking and it just gets annoying after a while. I don't why they had to go and make Sparx talk, it was just fine in the past. And then you have Gnasty Gnorc, that sounds so stupid...

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
I wish they would of made this game closer to the originals where you entered portals to enter levels. I miss those days...
And I wish they'd put in more levels. Theres like only 15-20 levels, but they are pretty big.

1.Firstly, none of the elders appeared in spyro 1 (their name did but there look and personality doesn't match up )
2.Why can sparx talk?
3.Where did those 80 dragon eggs come from?
(OMG! No 4!)
5.Why does Gnasty sound so dumb (and look different)?
6.Why does spyro sound like he does in spyro 1?
7.Whats the deal with moneybags?
8.Why doesn't Sgt.Byrd use his wings to fly anymore and whats the matter with his voice/weight?
9.Why is Gnasty Gnorc fighting again after Spyro 2 manual said that he wouldn't?
(OMG! No 10!)
11.Whats the matter with the professor and hunter's voice?
1.Alternate personalities are probably the biggest problem in this game. I mean, changing them was totally uncalled for! The only explanation I can think of is that Zoe used her brain-cell spell on them, or maybe they're just all older now...Hunter seems more confident...
2. My theory is that Sparx was still buzzing but it was translated into English because the makers felt like screwing with the original stuff.
3. Perhaps eggs can be laid any time of year but only hatch in the Year of the Dragon. Besides, there were eggs in Spyro 1 too.
5. Maybe he is older? And wasn't he already dumb in the originals? (For further info on this topic, read 1.)
6. I don't but much thought into the voices. I doubt the dragons really speak English, it's probably translated like Sparx, they just don't want to constantly be doing subtitles.
7. I already explained the strange new voices for characters, other than that Moneybags really wasn't too different.
8. A jetpack is faster for use in speedways.
9. Gnasty obviously changed his mind.
11. Read 6.
And while we're at it, I also have a few questions...
1. Why are there gems lying all around the universe?
2. Why are there chests full of gems lying all around the universe?
3. How come enemies turn into gems after you hit them with flame breath?
4. How come Light Gems and eggs and gems disapear the instant you touch them as opposed to Spyro having to carry them around with him?
ect...
Answers: It's a video game, so not as much thought is put into the "universe" as is put into the gameplay.
[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5597209/spashthebandragon] I've got fanfics for Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Frozen, and Spectacular Spider-Man. Err, separately, I mean. Not some weird crossover thing. Those are all separate fanfics.

1.I dont think that was Zoe but NVM.....I think the 1 million brain cells was just a joke but besides, i dont think brain cellsd can change the look of a character.
2.Fair enough, butv they did change sparx's appearence as well
3.I think the eggs in Spyro 1 were just leftovers, not all eggs hatch in YOTD!.But 80 seems way too many for letovers. but overall, good point
5.Possibly gnorcs might gain a monobrail and have other physical changes as they get older, but i doubt it. He didn't seem very dumb in the originals, but it is a possibility
6.there voice is supposed to inflict a personality, but i get what your saying. Spyro seems to be alot more sarcastic and up himself. Hunter seems to be less dimwitted.
7.Moneybags now sounds like an indian and looks like one too, he posseses an indian tent and all that. He used to Be A British gentleman
8.fair enough
9.Eh, fair enough
New Question:
1.Why Does Bentley sound so dumb and is dumb anyway
And while we're at it, I also have a few questions...
1. Why are there gems lying all around the universe?
2. Why are there chests full of gems lying all around the universe?
3. How come enemies turn into gems after you hit them with flame breath?
4. How come Light Gems and eggs and gems disapear the instant you touch them as opposed to Spyro having to carry them around with him?
ect...
1.
Spyro 1-Gnasty Gnorc scattered the dragon's treasury around for revenge
Spyro 2-Because of all the chaos in Ripto's Rage, the Treasury of Avalar was spilt, it was Spyro's Job to get it all back for the Avalarian's
Spyro 3-Back when the dragons lived, the dragons used the gems in their treasury, after they got banished, the treasury eventually got scattered
For the rest, i dont care because most of the rest of the Spyro games dont give a crud about Story. In A hero's tail for example, theres unlimited gems, how did they get unlimited gems?
2.
Pretty much the same as above except the treasure was originally or had been put into chests
3.
Spyro 1-Gnasty had turned gems into warriors for his army
Spyro 2-Enemies turned into spirits, not gems
Spyro 3-Same type of spell as Gnasty
Other Games:See Answer 1
4.
we dont know, no platformer or mostly any GAME explains it, the best clue i have is that dragon posses the power to absorb any object and then mangle it out in a later date, dragonflies also posses this power.

2.Fair enough, butv they did change sparx's appearence as well.
It is unspecified how much time passes between EtD and AHT (it's even more time if the GBA spin-off series fits in the timeline, which I think it does), so it's possible they've just grown up. Besides, the Crash Bandicoot characters had a massive change in Titans, and that game's still in the timeline.
3.I think the eggs in Spyro 1 were just leftovers, not all eggs hatch in YOTD!.But 80 seems way too many for letovers. but overall, good point.
I'm pretty sure every single egg hatched in Spyro 3:YotD, making my theory correct.
5.Possibly gnorcs might gain a monobrail and have other physical changes as they get older, but i doubt it. He didn't seem very dumb in the originals, but it is a possibility.
Well, it's the only answer I can think of, and just saying that one character seems slightly stupider isn't really a good reason to say this game isn't in the timeline.
6.there voice is supposed to inflict a personality, but i get what your saying. Spyro seems to be alot more sarcastic and up himself. Hunter seems to be less dimwitted.
Maybe they are older and Hunter is more mature. I don't think Spyro was too teribly different than how he was in previous games, he just had a stupid voice is all.
7.Moneybags now sounds like an indian and looks like one too, he posseses an indian tent and all that. He used to Be A British gentleman
It is possible that once he moved into the Dragon Realms, he was arrested for running an illegal toll bridge, ect, and was punished by having his mind altered by the Dragon Elders so that he would have a different personality and open a store.
Another theory: Moneybags once tried to become a haiku poet, and in EtD he was wearing robes to fit the Japanese theme. Maybe he either wanted to be an indian instead of a poet or thought the indian-theme would fit the surrounding village (all the other shops had a theme, too).
New Question:
1.Why Does Bentley sound so dumb and is dumb anyway
Because the makers felt like screwing up Spyro's universe in order to make it more "funny." And because they get asick pleasure from irritating the fans.
Real theory: He wasn't really dumb, he just acted different from YotD. As I've said before, I don't think the characters really speak English. It's possible that he was using big words like in YotD but it was translated into simpler words. This reminds me, almost all of these reasons AHT doesn't fit in the timeline, most of them alternate personalities, are because the makers of the game apparently believe that only "little kids" would bother playing Spyro, therefore all the dialoge and characters should be changed to please "little kids." If anyone finds evidence otherwise, let me know because this is what I seriously believe.
1.
Spyro 1-Gnasty Gnorc scattered the dragon's treasury around for revenge
Spyro 2-Because of all the chaos in Ripto's Rage, the Treasury of Avalar was spilt, it was Spyro's Job to get it all back for the Avalarian's
Spyro 3-Back when the dragons lived, the dragons used the gems in their treasury, after they got banished, the treasury eventually got scattered
For the rest, i dont care because most of the rest of the Spyro games dont give a crud about Story. In A hero's tail for example, theres unlimited gems, how did they get unlimited gems?
Spyro 1-This supports my theory that Gnasty was no stupider in AHT than Spyro 1.
Spyro 2-So are you saying that if terrorists attacked the country, people would panick by throwing money all around the country and/or leaving it in chests and fireproof vases?
Spyro 3-The dragons have been gone so long that they've forgotten the Forgotten Realms exist, hence the name. Are you saying that after so long the residence of the Forgotten Realms STILL haven't picked the majority of them all up?
Games 2 and up all don't give a crud about those details, you're just being paranoid by assuming that only the isonamic games are worth defending because they're the "best" games. As for the infinite gems, there are infinite wumpa fruits in all the Crash games, do elements of gameplay really decide whether a game should be in the timeline
3.
Spyro 1-Gnasty had turned gems into warriors for his army
Spyro 2-Enemies turned into spirits, not gems
Spyro 3-Same type of spell as Gnasty
Other Games:See Answer 1
Spyro 1-true
Spyro 2-true
Spyro 3-true
Other Games Which Aren't Worth Defending Because They Weren't Made By Isonamic-Aplies to EtD,SoI, SoF, and AotR/A
Orange/Fusion and AHT-There are infinite gems because of the Moneybags Shop feature.
LoS-The gems represent spiritual energy.
4.
we dont know, no platformer or mostly any GAME explains it, the best clue i have is that dragon posses the power to absorb any object and then mangle it out in a later date, dragonflies also posses this power.
True.
Its the developers job to answer as many questions as they can, or not even create the questions.
You can't create a "perfect universe" and a "video game" all in one, that's asking way too much of the makers to get every last detail correct anyways.

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
I think, Spash that we'll have to agree to disagree, mainly because you've came up with many good points that i cant possibly rebut .
the Crash Bandicoot characters had a massive change in Titans, and that game's still in the timeline.
OH I beg to differ!, but thats a different story!

Actually, assuming enough time passed between Twinsanity and Titans, it could fit into the Crash Timeline, but we probably shouldn't be discussing that on a SpyroForum...
But back on topic, the enimies reapear when you reenter a level in all the games, so why not the gems too?

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
i dont think so, Gems have always had a certain number, theres always been a spacific quantity, and no-one has created a spell which creates more gems (Are you saying that Red finally found a spell).
But yeah, the story goes that:
Spyro 1-Gnasty usually found ways to create his enemies from special doo-dads, but gems were easier to use. every time spyro exits a level, gnasty gets someone to go and create more enemies.
spyro 2-Ripto Always created Spirits which flew to many levels and transformed into a native species of avalar.
spyro 3/SOI/SOF/AOTR- http://spyroworld.net/wiki/Rhynocs
AHT- Dont consider part of the timeline....
Orange:Same as above
SSL:Same as above
ETD:Probably one of the same speels as 1-3, probably 3 because he used it to control his rynocs in SOF/AOTR aswell
And no i woouldn't defend SOI/SOF/AOTR/ETD before because not because "It wasn't made by insomniac" or "they weren't the best games", just because Digital didn't tend to worry about Spyro as much as insomniac, but they games probably share the same reasons as 1-3 anyway.
So are you saying that if terrorists attacked the country, people would panick by throwing money all around the country and/or leaving it in chests and fireproof vases?
The treasury isn't the same as currency, some of us (including me) know that the currency in Spyro 1 wasn't gems but something called "dracos". Nether the less, people probably cared much for their treasury for many reasons. Moneybags also wanted gems because they were more universal than dracos, the currency excange probably isn't as good in the Spyro universe and atleast he could sell the gems for any currency.
Anyway, BTTS, Probably when ripto arrived, Zoe and the other avalarians thought that maybe ripto and his armies wouldn't get and sell as much of their treasury if they scattered it around, like the orbs.Ripto probably didn't worry about the treasury yet and just started the inslavery of the avalarians, getting everything up to standards, Ripto's midless spirit minions had no reason to steal their treasury, neither did The avalarians because they were too busy trying to help the rest of avalar. Who knows, maybe ome of the avalarian treasure did get stolen.......
There may be many other reasons why the treasure was scattered, maybe some of ripto's minions DID steal it and dropped it later (maybe officials caught them stealing and not working and made them drop the gem). Who knows?
Spyro 3-The dragons have been gone so long that they've forgotten the Forgotten Realms exist, hence the name. Are you saying that after so long the residence of the Forgotten Realms STILL haven't picked the majority of them all up?
Maybe because there's so much of them, they think they're just rocks.
There could also be many reasons.
As for the infinite gems, there are infinite wumpa fruits in all the Crash games, do elements of gameplay really decide whether a game should be in the timeline
The difference between Crash And Spyro is that Gems can not be created in Spyro, there has ALWAYS been a spacific amount, then here comes unlimite gems/a number much larger than what the dragons ever had and i'm thinking WTF?
Wampa fruits, on the other hand, have always been unlimited/ have had a very large amount. Maybe Wampa fruits grow in large number and very quickly, and maybe the time between crash's death may last for days, weeks or years at a time. Or maybe the checkpoints save crash in that point of time so when he dies he goes back to the last time he saved, if that makes any sense. Crash's universe has alot of mysteries in it, but we really shouldn't be talking about that here.
Real theory: He wasn't really dumb, he just acted different from YotD. As I've said before, I don't think the characters really speak English. It's possible that he was using big words like in YotD but it was translated into simpler words. This reminds me, almost all of these reasons AHT doesn't fit in the timeline, most of them alternate personalities, are because the makers of the game apparently believe that only "little kids" would bother playing Spyro, therefore all the dialoge and characters should be changed to please "little kids." If anyone finds evidence otherwise, let me know because this is what I seriously believe.
Yeah, i know they dont speak english, but they're voices are supposed to reflect on their personality, such as a dumb person is meant to sound dumb, speaking in a low voice saying things like "deeeeeehhhhhhh".
But yeah, maybe Eurocom didn't really research too much, and changed the personalities without thinking, And thats why i put the games in another timeline, a very similar one at that.
It is possible that once he moved into the Dragon Realms, he was arrested for running an illegal toll bridge, ect, and was punished by having his mind altered by the Dragon Elders so that he would have a different personality and open a store.
Another theory: Moneybags once tried to become a haiku poet, and in EtD he was wearing robes to fit the Japanese theme. Maybe he either wanted to be an indian instead of a poet or thought the indian-theme would fit the surrounding village (all the other shops had a theme, too).
Sounds VERY far fetched.
I dont think that Hunter would become more smart just because he "grew up", he seemed to be adult already at the time of RR.
Maybe if Spyro's voice was different, my judgement may be different....
Also, where the hell is Bianca?

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
I think its weird how they just dumped Bianca as well. She was one of my favourite characters. But maybe its a good thing because she probaly would have had a personality change as well which i probaly wouldnt of liked.

Re: Where does this game lie on the Timeline?
i dont think so, Gems have always had a certain number, theres always been a spacific quantity, and no-one has created a spell which creates more gems (Are you saying that Red finally found a spell).
Sorry to bust your bubble, but you can't explain all the great mysteries of video games. How come Spyro just so happens to move correspondig to a human pushing against the analog stick/d-pad while everyone else stands in the exact same place saying the exact same things to you every time you walk up to them? How come night never changes to day if you stand around long enough? How come if you leave Spyro standing around long enough he and Sparx don't starve to death? Does he never make a poo? I guess not considering he's never ever ever eaten food before onscreen, and he can be onscreen for a potentially loooooooong time. The list is endless. It's a video game. The reason enemies reapear once you reenter a level is because if they didn't you couldn't replay levels. It'a a video game for god's sake!
But yeah, the story goes that:
Spyro 1-Gnasty usually found ways to create his enemies from special doo-dads, but gems were easier to use. every time spyro exits a level, gnasty gets someone to go and create more enemies.
What about after you beat Gnasty?
spyro 2-Ripto Always created Spirits which flew to many levels and transformed into a native species of avalar.
To think you had the nerve to call my Moneybags theories far-fetched. RIPTO HAD LOST HIS FREAKING SCEPTER!!! HE COULDN'T CAST MAGIC!!! And not to mention the fact that you're saying that Ripto can raise the dead at will. If that were true, he would've summoned an army and clobbered Spyro during the boss fight. Heck, Ripto could barely ressurect Gulp correctly!
And no i woouldn't defend SOI/SOF/AOTR/ETD before because not because "It wasn't made by insomniac" or "they weren't the best games", just because Digital didn't tend to worry about Spyro as much as insomniac, but they games probably share the same reasons as 1-3 anyway.?
You're still being peranoid simply because you didn't even mention those games. And as I proved when I pointed out that Spyro 2 and 3 didn't explain the gems, Digital didn't worry about those details any more than isonamic (although I do admit that isonamic certainly cared more about Spyro... Right up until they fired him for not being able to hold gun.)
The treasury isn't the same as currency, some of us (including me) know that the currency in Spyro 1 wasn't gems but something called "dracos". Nether the less, people probably cared much for their treasury for many reasons. Moneybags also wanted gems because they were more universal than dracos, the currency excange probably isn't as good in the Spyro universe and atleast he could sell the gems for any currency.
I never knew that...dracos sounds like dragons
Anyway, BTTS, Probably when ripto arrived, Zoe and the other avalarians thought that maybe ripto and his armies wouldn't get and sell as much of their treasury if they scattered it around, like the orbs.Ripto probably didn't worry about the treasury yet and just started the inslavery of the avalarians, getting everything up to standards, Ripto's midless spirit minions had no reason to steal their treasury, neither did The avalarians because they were too busy trying to help the rest of avalar. Who knows, maybe ome of the avalarian treasure did get stolen........
So if you don't want people to find your money, the obvious thing to do is throwit all around the country in plain sight. Those faries mustn't be very intellegent. At least they actually HID the orbs. How could Ripto've started inslaving Avalarians? All he had was two dinosaurs and no way to cast magic!
Most of the Avalarians didn't seem to even notice Ripto's presence, they were all much too busy worrying about idols that come to life and evil spirits that canturn statues green. All Ripto actually did was take over the uninhabited castles and throw bombs at people. Elora, Hunter, and the Professor were just worried because of his scepter, which was eaten, and Crush and Gulp. Ripto also didn't have an army of spirits as far as we can tell, those were the natural inhabitants. He'd sent Crush to get his Riptoc army, but the portal was blocked.
Maybe because there's so much of them, they think they're just rocks.
There could also be many reasons.
Yeah, very shiny, valuable rocks. I always thought that that was the Forgotten Realms' personal gems (Avalar had their own). Spyro must've either given it to the dragons or collected it specifically because of Moneybags and the Super Bonus World portal.
The difference between Crash And Spyro is that Gems can not be created in Spyro, there has ALWAYS been a spacific amount, then here comes unlimite gems/a number much larger than what the dragons ever had and i'm thinking WTF?
The gems are purely elements of gameplay and not to be taken seriousoly anyways, but I believe one of the levels is a Dark Gem mine. Maybe normal gems are also mined there, that's why all the gnorcs are carrying gems? (The gems in chests or lying around don't reapear.)
Wampa fruits, on the other hand, have always been unlimited/ have had a very large amount. Maybe Wampa fruits grow in large number and very quickly, and maybe the time between crash's death may last for days, weeks or years at a time. Or maybe the checkpoints save crash in that point of time so when he dies he goes back to the last time he saved, if that makes any sense. Crash's universe has alot of mysteries in it, but we really shouldn't be talking about that here.
In Twinsanity Wumpa Trees areshown to grow extremely quickly, and they do reapear after you die, but that doesn't explain why if you were to get all the wumpa then reenter the level, there's more wumpa. Well, the same aplies to AHT. You can't just say it's not in the same timeline because of an element of gameplay.
Yeah, i know they dont speak english, but they're voices are supposed to reflect on their personality, such as a dumb person is meant to sound dumb, speaking in a low voice saying things like "deeeeeehhhhhhh".
Point made, but unless the makers actually say "AHT is not in the same timeline. That is official." I am willing to stretch the universe to any ends to explain things, as opposed to going "Well, that's that. AHT isn't in the timeline because it has infinite gems and two other disproven reasons."
Sounds VERY far fetched.
I dont think that Hunter would become more smart just because he "grew up", he seemed to be adult already at the time of RR.
Maybe if Spyro's voice was different, my judgement may be different....
You've got some nerve to say that my theories are far-fetched, Mr. Maybe-Ripto-and-Gnasty-Gnorc-Can-Raise-The-Dead-At-Will. BtW, Huntersays his birythday is 2-24-75, although we have no way of knowing how dates work in Avalar. I believe he was a teenager in RR then got more confident in himself when he realised he was good at archery and could fight, ect. Maybe that's how Cheeta are supposed to be in Spyro's world? Ands yes, Spyro's voice is easily hateable in this game, so I don't blame you.
Also, where the hell is Bianca?
SL, the sequal, says that Bianca has cousins in the Forgotten Realms. She may've ben visiting them.
[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5597209/spashthebandragon] I've got fanfics for Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Frozen, and Spectacular Spider-Man. Err, separately, I mean. Not some weird crossover thing. Those are all separate fanfics.
