I'm about 1:30 hours in. It's a fun game so far. Sure, it's a bit rough around the edges in some respects, but nothing big enough to hinder my enjoyment of the game. It sure feels like a PS1 era game, which is kind of nostalgic.
@ShadJV That kind of begs the question... Pikachu has been with Ash way longer than Greninja --or anyone else, period. I don't think any of Ash's pokemon is closer to him than his Pikachu. How come there is no Ash-Pikachu? (not that I'd want that. I'm just questioning the anime logic here, that's all)
Ah, yes, Data East. They've made a number of fun games. In fact, Tumblepop is one of my personal top-5 arcade games of all time! I played it all the time when I was a teenager. I can consistently beat it in one credit!
@Ogbert I really doubt it. Instead of looking obviously deliberate (as in that Genie picture, which is no doubt a good example of smear done right), it just looks to me like the animator didn't care to get Pikachu's head/face right for that one frame.
Granted, it ultimately doesn't really matter all that much, because it goes by so fast it's impossible to notice in real time.
Yes, it's an inbetween. That doesn't excuse messing up Pikachu's head like that. (Also, that Dee-Dee a couple posts up is a "smear". It's an animation technique used to depict rapid bursts of speed. It's intentional, and doesn't count).

I can't download it without a NNID.
Re: Review: Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure (3DS eShop)
It's a cute little game. Rough around the edges in some respects, but still quite enjoyable for what it is.
Re: Data Miners Find More New Monsters In Pokémon Sun And Moon Demo
One of the new pokemon they found is Marshadow, a mysterious name that has been floating in the intertubes for a while now.
It's a small cloud thing.

Re: Oceanhorn, A Game Inspired by The Wind Waker, Confirmed for 'A Nintendo Console'
The PC version doesn't run very well on my aging computer, so a "Nintendo console" port would be very much appreciated, yes.

Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Demo Coming on 18th October, Starter Evolutions and More are Confirmed
@roy130390
Well, those are good points. Though, unless the anime has addressed this (which I don't think it did), it's still just "headcanon".
Re: Those Famicom Mini Pads Sure Are Small
So, in the end, we are getting the better deal. Interesting.

Re: Random: Nintendo Censors Canadian Interview For Daring To Mention NX

Re: Shovel Knight Confirmed for Surprise Role in Yooka-Laylee
I approve of this.
As I said elsewhere.... Shantae next? Or maybe the bear&bird themselves? Nah, that last one will never happen.

Re: Video: Fans Are Getting Bent Out Of Shape By The New Pokémon Sun And Moon Anime
@Ogbert
I really doubt it. Instead of looking obviously deliberate (as in that Genie picture, which is no doubt a good example of smear done right), it just looks to me like the animator didn't care to get Pikachu's head/face right for that one frame.
Granted, it ultimately doesn't really matter all that much, because it goes by so fast it's impossible to notice in real time.
Re: Video: Fans Are Getting Bent Out Of Shape By The New Pokémon Sun And Moon Anime
Yes, it's an inbetween. That doesn't excuse messing up Pikachu's head like that. (Also, that Dee-Dee a couple posts up is a "smear". It's an animation technique used to depict rapid bursts of speed. It's intentional, and doesn't count).
