@True_Hero It's not that Pokemon is a game of exceptional quality, but more because its game you can't really mess up badly unless you screw over everything you've established so far. Pokemon is the best example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" in the gaming industry.
That said, I am super hyped for this I nerded all over the floor when I saw this this morning.
The overworked looks a little messy, but I guess that's to be expected from an early prototype/trailer. I'm sure it'll sink in by the time the final product is released.
Other than that: HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just nerded all over the floor.
Plus, if I'm right, it looks like you can customize your own trainer
Also, the fire starter looks beautiful IMO. At least it's a step up from Tepig.
Are the L/R buttons as weak as they are on every Nintendo handheld (I know from personal experience because my GBA SP, NDSL, and 3DS all have busted L/R), or will they be able to better withstand the test of time?
@ouroborus Actually, BN 3 is often considered to be the best of the BN series. I would've been totally fine if BN ended at 3 (even though 6 was AWESOME)!
Also, I love how different the 3rd SF felt from the other two. If you can pick it up used, then definitely get it.

This better not suck.
Re: Fan Feedback Prompted Capcom's Resident Evil: Revelations HD Development
Next thing you know, it'll be cancelled for "lack of fan support."
Damn it Crapcom.
Re: Sony Trolls Nintendo Ahead of PlayStation 4 Announcement
You guys do know that these are the same Google Ads that say, and I quote:
"One click to a Roman Orgy."
I've seen weirder messages. Plus, SEGA was pissing on Nintendo all the time in the 90s.
watch the rage, please, and remember to be excellent to your fellow users — TBD
Re: Nintendo 3DS Direct Bringing the Love on 14th February
Oh you people and your silly to reasonable expectations.
This is Reggie we're talking about!
Throw your expectations out the window, cause they're better off dead.
Re: New Pokémon Revealed for X & Y, Say Hello To Ninfia
I'm in love already <3
Re: New Pokémon Revealed for X & Y, Say Hello To Ninfia
How about "Nimbeon"
Nimbus (cloud) + Eon
Re: New Pokémon Revealed for X & Y, Say Hello To Ninfia
I also get the feeling it might be flying type.
Those holes and color palette remind me of Skyla (in a way). That light blue and pink-ish beige fits the idea of flying type very well.
Re: New Pokémon Revealed for X & Y, Say Hello To Ninfia
Maybe that's the evolution method
I don't know if Eevee and Milotic are in the same egg group, but maybe if you bred them together, this could be their offspring.
This would go hand-in-hand with all the breeding rumors we've heard of
Re: Rumour: Next Sonic Game Will Be Called Sonic Adventure 3
Why didn't SEGA learn from 06?
It had some great things going for it (all of which were drowned in a bottomless pool of glitch):
Re: Feature: Fire Emblem's Western Adventure
I'd put "important" in quotes.
It's good and all, but I just feel like it isn't as recognized as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and even Kirby.
Re: XSEED Publishing Rune Factory 4 In North America
@CanisWolfred I didn't know there were others into this sort of thing...
Re: XSEED Publishing Rune Factory 4 In North America

It's a refreshing twist on the RPG genre I've always secretly wished for...
Re: Plenty Of Room For Rupees In These Awesome Nintendo Wallets
They're kind of cheap in quality...
I've seen them at Too Cool, and they feel very fake leathery.
Re: Nintendo Rewarding Millionaire Coin Collectors In New Super Mario Bros. 2
I like to imagine Nintendo has a machine to convert those coins into real money.

Get the Pandorica.
Re: Capcom Comments On Monster Hunter 4 Vita Rumours
So, should we believe your tweet about cancelling Megaman Legends 3 due to lack of fan support?

Re: Anima: Gate Of Memories Coming To Wii U eShop
I'm an official backer actually.
I could get some feedback of yours to them directly.

Re: Main Pokémon RPG Series Continues to Prioritise Portable Gaming
@CanisWolfred We're still about 300 something away from reaching 1000. Still, I get your point.

Re: Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Caught In Worldwide Release This October
That deer legendary is based off the same Japanese myth as the Forest Spirit from Princess Momonoke.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The Special Pokémon Announcement Right Here
I hope the "early" released (cause B2/W2 were released last year) doesn't cut down on length though...

Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
Does it have any sort of multiplayer functionality?
Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
Bad quality picture, I know. So, do I just take a screwdriver and pop the face off?
Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
@Megawatts Trade then?
Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
They are? Huh, mine must be defective then
Are the L/R buttons as weak as they are on every Nintendo handheld (I know from personal experience because my GBA SP, NDSL, and 3DS all have busted L/R), or will they be able to better withstand the test of time?
Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
Hey! I own one of those!
Can you tell me where the battery lights are?
Re: Feature: 10 Essential Games For Your New Wii U
That's a big part of, if not most of the non-shovelware games on the Wii U right now. Shouldn't we wait before we make a Top X games on Wii U?

Re: Feature: The Confusing World of Mega Man Spin-Offs - Part 2
@MasterChordles Yep. That was awesome!

Re: Nintendo Download: 20th December 2012 (North America)
Doesn't Mario Tennis Open sell for 40$ retail? Does that mean a 10$ discount?
Re: Feature: The Confusing World of Mega Man Spin-Offs - Part 2
Am I the only one who LOVED the StarForce series?
I see some BN fans, but no SF fans?
Also, the Zero series was amazing!
Such a shame ZX and ZXA were so full of wasted potential...
Re: Pachter: "I think Nintendo becomes completely irrelevant"
And the previous post on this website was, and I quote:
"3DS continues to decimate the competition in Japan" with the tagline "Nintendo's handheld outsells all other platforms by more than 2.5 times"
I don't think you know the meaning of irrelevant Pachter. I don't give a crap if I accidentaly spelled your name wrong. You are worthless.
Re: Satoru Iwata is 53 Today
Happy birthday!
Re: Happy 60th Birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto
Happy Birthday Miyamoto!!!
Thank you for almost single-handedly saving the gaming industry, turning Nintendo into the awesomeness it is today!
Seriously though, there are no thanks sufficient enough to express my gratitude towards your genius, and how awesome it made my childhood.
Happy birthday, Miyamoto!

Re: This Real Life Tanooki Suit is a Bit Strange
@jackleapp81 Yeah... No, that's just the link to the NLife MLP thread. That's all. I'm recruiting to prepare for Season 3.
Re: This Real Life Tanooki Suit is a Bit Strange
@jackleapp81 Come join the herd, Applejack. (obligatory pre-season 3 recruitement. Don't mind me.)
Meh, I've seen stranger wares, but this is definitely not one of the best out there. In fact, looks kind of lame...
Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White 2 (DS)
Why does everyone forget about Gold and Silver?! >: (
I mean, they were originally called Pocket Monsters 2, and were intended to be the final games in the series.
You can't get more sequel-ish than that.
Re: Watch The Japanese Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct Here

That sound you just heard. That was @James, secretly enjoying his exclusive already translated copy of Animal Crossing in NoE's secret party room.
