@MarioLover92 Yep, Yellow is what originally had the Pokemon follow mechanic, then they turned that up to 11 in HG/SS and have brought it back in some form in some of the games ever since. It's a fun cosmetic thing mostly. Ah yes, you're correct! It was Disney Adventures! I think I had a sub for about a year or so. I'm pretty sure my mom only bought it because she was hit up for a fundraiser lol.

just popped in quick to read some posts, but i'm glad i did so i can wish @Sunsy a happy birthday! Sounds like you had a good one 😁

SE trademarks Tactics Ogre: Reborn in Japan, so it sounds like the previous Nvidia leak of some remaster for one of those being true ...

@Sunsy Happy Birthday to you! It sounds like you had a good time, as others have also said. Hope it went well and that you got some good cake to eat, one ideally fit for a certain Princess Toadstool.

Regarding 4K Gamer Pro marketing photo: Do I dare say, nobody's 1080p TV image is as bad as the frame on the right without 4K Gamer Pro? I'm open to being wrong, but I can't help feel skeptical about the photo.

@WoomyNNYes It's so smooth. Those images have more crispness than a bag of Walkers.

@WoomyNNYes That so-called "1080p image" is such cap it belongs in a hat shop.

Sorry I missed it before, @Sunsy .... but I'm glad you had a good one!

@Sunsy Sorry I'm late but I'm glad you had a fantastic birthday!

I'm making mushroom rice, and nearly forgot to add some garlic powder.

Crisis averted.

Some of you may know a Pokemon Youtuber by the name of CandyEvie. She makes great videos on things like obscure games/items, shiny hunting and just the weirdest things you can think of at times and it's a great watch all the time. Lately, she's been sending out hundreds of Magnemite's through BDSP Wonder Trade in memory of a self-promotion tactic she used back in BW2 (trust me, it makes a lot more sense when you watch her video on it), livestreaming the process as she does so. I was using the GWS to get rid of Corsola from a failed radar chain and breedjects from my current shiny Shroomish hunt. On the penultimate trade before signing off, I get a Magnemite from someone called Hector.... named YT:CandyEvie. Immediately recognising the name, I hurry to the summary page to make sure and, sure enough, the OT is 'Lucy', CandyEvie's trainer in-game.

Needless to say I am over the moon.

The Magnemite Coil was big during B2W2! I don't think she started it though, I believe it began in Japan.

Even I traded away several magnemites. Might do it again just for old time's sake.

I'll tell you something though: the GWS has been a godsend for me. I've gotten so many foreign mons with some of the best names possible (a Shinx called Not Imposter being the highlight so far) along with some absolutely insane breedjects in Love Ball 4IV Ralts and Moon Ball 5IV Jolly Gligar. And then, about 1 week ago, I got the crowning jewel of wonder trade: a Japanese Ditto. THE MASUDA METHOD STARTS NOW BABY.

@Tyranexx I remember the name of the magazine itself, but it's been years since I've read them so I kinda forgot what stuff they've covered. That's cool your mom got them from a fundraiser, I've done fundraisers in school long ago, except it was chocolate candies.

Oh I also wanna say that I got some Game Boy games from the 3DS eShop, including Wario Land 2 and 3. I wanna try to finish 2, then 3 - I've beaten the first one already, which I really liked. I've been recommended the Golden Sun games, I did hear that it's best to play both of the GBA ones if I start playing the first one. I've heard of them plenty of times, even while reading through Nintendo Power, though I never even touched them.

@Anti-Matter @Tyranexx @Losermagnet @TheJGG @BruceCM @chapu2006 Thank you for the birthday wishes!

@MarioLover92 It was, I don't think I ever had a character themed birthday aside from cake, I'm happy it was centered around Trolls and my favorite character, Poppy. I don't usually do parties, I usually keep it small and to family and a friend. That sounds like a nice birthday being Mario themed. Yeah, I usually ask for a game, but I wanted an eShop card this time because of the Mario Kart DLC.

I've been enjoying the channel, he goes into old versions of Windows, seeing what works on his $5 PCs, and goes into a bit of history on computers too. I think the first video I seen of his was when he was trying the Microsoft Internet Games, like Hearts and such, that were included in Windows, before their services were shut down.

Yeah, once I realized it wasn't a real timer, it was based on sequence, I could get to the door, and leave before it blows up with no problem. That's really.

I didn't know there was a Genesis counterpart to Turtles in Time. Think I saw the headline on the Saturn stuff, just haven't looked into it yet.

@Fizza That's really cool. I've heard of CandyEvie before, I think I've seen some of her videos.

Any cake left to send us, then, @Sunsy ....? I bet it's all gone!

@MarioLover92 I have both Golden Sun games waiting to be played but I just have too many games and too much side activities (like drawing, sculpting and coding) And I too have heard only good things about those games

@Link-Hero I had the epiphany yesterday, the 1080p pic is zoomed in, which is why the rock cliff background is so much more blurry, which adds to the deceptiveness of the photo/demo.

Actually, what IS that whole Magnemite Coil thing? Seems like I missed something big back in my B/W days.

@MarioLover92 I mostly just remember the comic strips in them and not much else, though those were what interested me anyway! My memory is foggy, but there was an occasional one related to Recess that I enjoyed.

I highly recommend both Wario Land II and Wario Land 3; they're two of the best games in the Wario Land platformers IMO, though it's hard to go wrong with any of the main five. There's a Virtual Boy release I haven't played though lol. II is my favorite of the bunch. The Golden Sun games are very good too, though be prepared for a LOT of reading lol. The reason it's recommended to play both the GBA entries is because Golden Sun: The Lost Age is actually the second half of the first game. Due to technical limitations at the time, the game was split into two releases/cartridges. The DS entry, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, doesn't quite reach the heights of the GBA entries but is still a decent game.

@MarioLover92 Great! Should be fun Still working up that thumbnail! It's getting better from the last time ya saw it! Details, details!

@Tyranexx Yea it's totally gimmicky.. but such great gimmick it is! YES! VM (not virtual machine lol) Kirby rocks at the soda can pelts! 🤪 Yea.. in total troves. The game's really making me a bigger fan. I definitely gotta go back and play some of the older games!

@Sunsy I'm just glad the Sonic movies are great, so when I do watch I'm bound to enjoy! I actually hopped back into Paladins for a bit on PC. It's a cool game, glad to have played it! I like using IO and Furia a lot. Also, course Glad you had a great time, especially with your friend throwing you a party! But hey we gotta play some more Mario Kart soon!!
