Good lord, the first it wedged itself in our time and mind, now they try to take our very names. Kinda glad I didn't get the app now. At the very least they could name their kids after the gym leaders.
@16bitdave Yeah, alot of games tend to do that; yugioh did that in conjunction with the anniversary, and LBX did the same with it's crossover movie with Inazuma Eleven.
@PlywoodStick Interesting point. Wonder how different things would have been if they didn't use Gen 1 pokemon. Perhaps it's like Force Awakens' case of being a new hope; it's the creator's use of intertexuality to draw the audience in and show that it's in good hands.
@NodesforNoids I'm hoping that as well, don't get me wrong, I fully support the game and it's endeavors. It's just that it feels to bit rough around the edges that's all. Although on another view I do see some Ico in there.
Mixed feelings here; find the game interesting, don't have the necessary phone; with the general reaction of most people, kind of glad I haven't. Well... there's that and my money issues, but hey ho.
I won't say it's brilliant, but I will say it has potential. Plus I think it might be jumping the gun to say it gives off Ico/Ghibli feels; I'd say more beyond good and evil. Though I'll admit the gameplay seems interesting, albeit a little underdeveloped, e.g. the combat.
@Shinzai Same for the first, Popplio for the second; mainly cause I don't give the water types enough love (It's always been fire or grass for all but gen 3, I definitely lieked mudkip). what about nicknames, due to the alchemy references in the game I was thinking of Hohenheim (if it fits), plus I feel like it matches Popplio's personality
@SpykeKat Well it is brought to us by the minds behind Persona 4; funny enough the main characters, Vincent and Catherine, are voiced by Troy Baker (Kanji) and Laura Bailey (Rise).
@SpykeKat Duly noted. Kinda reminds of my experience with the game Catherine, every night the player wakes up in a tower, surrounded by anthropomorphic sheep.
I had only played Guardian Signs, but from my experience, I can only guess Shadows of Almia would be equally fun. Side note, who else enjoyed Pokemon Colosseum.
@JaxonH I can agree on that, so many games outside of nintendo had really grabbed my attention as of late, albeit some being indie, Undertale, Hyper Light Drifter and Team Ico games. What made the first two grab my attention was how different they got there messages across, heck with drifter you weren't entirely sure what the message was.
@Konnordano1615 Same here, although as you saw in my earlier comment, I go for a name I think matches my character's "personality". Take twilight princess for example; named my character "Oki" after the character from Okami, mainly because both transform into wolves at will, and Oki's theme sounds like it should be twilight princess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQxtVw2sJ7Q
@SpykeKat I've been there, especially with the lightning bolt sidequest. I especially loved the last section with Oki, who I always got in personality quizzes (my secret shame)
@SpykeKat Alright, once I'm secure with my money income and understand/trust the workings of the bank, I'll give it a buy. Probably name my character after Oki from Okami. Have you played Okami, if not then I'd definitely recommend it, you can get it fairly cheap on ebay. The copy I bought was sealed and only cost 13 quid.

Re: Pokémon GO Updates to Make Game "Respectful" of Private Institutions
Just goes to show Pokemon Go is an ongoing series of tweaks to better accommodate.
Re: Pokémon GO Players Told To Steer Clear Of Japanese Nuclear Disaster Zone
@Finntendo Bad faith? the freedom to choose whether or not you are free, a total paradox.
Re: Weirdness: Pokémon GO Has Inspired Parents in the US to Name Their Children After Pokémon
@Dizzard Although I'm sure a kid named Machoke isn't gonna be pushed around.

Re: Fresh Pokémon Sun And Moon News Coming August 1st
Perhaps plot details?
Re: Interview: Jason Behr on Buddy & Me: Dream Edition, Going Independent and His History With Nintendo
Best of luck to him. Hope he fares a tad better than Inafune; though I do hope Inafune manages to dust himself off from Mighty No.9
Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Opens Pokémon Sun and Moon Pre-Orders With Bonus Figurines
@SpykeKat I'd say Nightmare's probably the Ur-example of Lunalaa's Pokémon gijinka

Re: Interview: Collector 'Metal Jesus' on His North American Nintendo 64DD Discovery
@aaronsullivan Always good to see a fellow fan. Tell me, have you heard of Hyper Light Drifter?
Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Opens Pokémon Sun and Moon Pre-Orders With Bonus Figurines
Probably gonna go with Moon, figure's just a bonus. Personally I find Solgaleo reminiscent to something from a british stop motion cartoon.

Re: Random: Sony XDev Europe Pokes Fun At Pokémon GO For Being Late To The AR Party
I think I remember this from a trailer, if memory served me right Brian Blessed starred in it. Unfortunately they couldn't have him ham things up.
Re: Interview: Collector 'Metal Jesus' on His North American Nintendo 64DD Discovery
@aaronsullivan It's a veritable box of mystery. By the way, liking the profile pic. Let me guess, Nausicaa?
Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Two New Pokémon for Sun and Moon
@SpykeKat Have you seen the new trailer by the way.
Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Two New Pokémon for Sun and Moon
@SpykeKat I can agree to that, it was only after seeing tapu koko in action did he become one of my favourites
Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Two New Pokémon for Sun and Moon
@Ogbert Good lord, Pabu is real, or at the very least plausible.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@antdickens Don't worry about it my friend, like I said, I've found this website, so I ain't complaining
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@antdickens Well, que sera sera, at least through the competition I discovered Nintendolife, so thank you.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
Oy, still no news huh? sigh. Well, I'm sure they have a rational reason for the delay.

Found the link, I just hope people will be courteous when they ask him about the results.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Lin_hyrule One way is find out how to contact the host, Alex is it? through twitter or facebook, then remind him about it.
Re: Meet Salandit, The Latest New Pocket Monster in Pokémon Sun and Moon
Definitely a way in the right direction, it feels natural, kinda like Rockruff and Komala.
Re: Japan-Exclusive Satellaview Zelda Game Gets Translated And Dubbed Into English
While not bad, the dub work does have room for improvement.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Lin_hyrule Could be a mix of both, think maybe we should remind them this competition exists.

Still no announcement huh? Well luckily I've kept myself busy. Anyone looking forward for Sun and Moon?

@SpykeKat Oh was that a wrong choice of words? I just couldn't find the right way to describe the situation of the cat being dressed as a wolf, irony?

What made the first two grab my attention was how different they got there messages across, heck with drifter you weren't entirely sure what the message was.
Re: Capcom Confirms Monster Hunter Generations x Wind Waker Outfit as Free DLC
@SpykeKat If I remember correctly you can dress the cat as Ammy from okami, a tad oxymoronic if ya' ask me.

@Frank90 I agree, the moment I saw Drampa on the video, I couldn't help but chuckle.
