There's new Pokemon games?  

[Damnatus]

The games are actually good. But that's about it.

I still headdesk when I see dedicated Pokemon RP. JUST PLAY THE GAME, IT'S A LOT MORE FUN.

Dee: I can relate to your sister's refusal to marry. I don't plan on ever getting married. I'd rather have a life partner, and best friend than a husband. Strange but true.

Nope, I am on the same boat.

Though last time I talked to my sister, she said if things go well in Korea (they're teaching there for a year and finally living together after almost 6 years of dating) she might talk to him about marriage.


POKEMON? Best thing to come out of me dating Patrick was that he introduced me to Pokemon. My gameboy won't save games so if I want to play, it has to be in one sitting or I end up playing the same thing over and over again.

Hahaha. My reaction was more 'Oh hey, Cog likes pokemanz too. Cool.' than anything else.

I still remember the time Riddle attempted to blend the Battle Arena and his Juliano Tower ar-pee. Hilarity.

Now I think it's time to go find my old Special Edition Yellow Version. I probably still have my old gameboy color lying around somewhere too.

It's the fact that you can make a lot of s**t work in Pokemon. You can play it with a casual attitude, or get really into the hidden stats and such and still make any team work.

But mainly it hits my obsessive streak without crippling it. Like a lot of western RPGs I have trouble playing because I just want to do everything, and have a panic attack over every choice. Pokemon (and the Disgaea games for another example) let me nerd out over the gameplay, but relax with a silly lighthearted story.  

[Just a Kroww]

Well, that didn't take long. Can't find Red, never did have/play Gold.

 

[Joseph Brown]

I'd do the same if half my s**t wasn't in boxes.

That sounds like an issue with the game cartridge, not the gameboy. Unless Nintendo changed something since I last played one, they save to cartridges not databanks on the player the way PSP does.

But I'm curious, though I probably won't play them.

I'll admit that back in the day when Red and Blue came out I thought it was pretty cool. Trade with my brother, get each of us a squirtle and charmander, go conquer the world. Played Silver for a little and thought it was cool too, though I didn't completionist the ******** out of it like I did Red. Complete lack of any interest in the ones to follow though. Adding to the 150 once, yeah, I could dig it, but then I just felt like it got stupid.

Also, am I the only one who thought it was more awesome when the entire screen was one color on your GBC, before they started applying the correct colors to everything?  

[Just a Kroww]

I'd play half my s**t if the file data weren't destroyed.

These cartridges are over ten years old. They don't save s**t anymore. Ah well.

No, but I never really thought much about color anyhow.

I do wish I knew an emulator that kept track of time. I don't want it to be night until I play for 15 hours, thanks.

:chills on his Snorlax:

I'll never tell.

You know, I've never been a fan of the 3rd game in every series. Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum? Load of crap. Overcomplicate the damn game by making you have to trade with two people instead of just one, the stories have NEVER been any better, and it should be all about the catchin' anyway.

Also. Blue + Silver = God Tier.  

[Just a Kroww]

Eh, I like complexity in the Pokemon games. Keeps me interested.

I'm not counting that Diamond/Pearl/etc s**t. Those games don't exist as far as I'm concerned.
