    How to reach Pokecharms Chat!

    The myth that you have to pay a penny for mIRC, ever, really needs to end. It's nagware, people. Just click through the begging dialog box and use the program as normal. Or, get a crack. Or, use Xchat (fundamentally the same, but no nagware). Or Nettalk (though I've never even heard of it before...

    News Round-Up 10/8/12

    B/W2 could only ever have been on the DS. The whole point of those games (as is, essentially the point of any 'third' game - even if these don't exist in that traditional mould) is to take the original development of B/W and make a second game out basically the exact same assets. If Nintendo...

    News Round-Up 10/8/12

    I really doubt that to the be the case, to be honest. It'd not only be an unusual shift in priorities, but the fact is that there's a lot more driving the impetus to get a new series of games out on the 3DS than GameFreak's long-term plans for the series or fans. Quite simply, it's what...

    News Round-Up 10/8/12

    In the case of B/W, it was clearly more a case of Nintendo being extremely quiet to even their own developers about the existence of the 3DS until it was too late. We know B/W was in active development since before Platinum came out - but we also know that even the very first Nintendo dev teams...

    News Round-Up 10/8/12

    The fact that Genesect is already being handed out (and, in fact, all three of the event Pokemon for B/W are being put out basically at the same time) makes it pretty clear to me that this Generation is being forcibly cut short to make way for a release of a new Generation on the 3DS within the...

    Pokemon TV on Pokemon.com

    They might also get the hint that providing the content themselves means they can profit on the advertising served with it, rather than the random billion other video upload sites online. But then, that would involve some sensibility coming into the equation here. Anyways, I can confirm that...

    Keldeo Events Announced For The US & UK

    Re: Keldeo Events Announced For The US & UK I think this is the first time this Generation we've had a proper physical distribution. I know that's actually a good thing, but these do make a good excuse to get together. Hope we get a good one oop norf that we can get to.

    Steam IDs

    Re: The Steam Thread! My name is rather imaginatively Doctor Oak. I've got a fair amount of games (thanks Steam Sale!), but don't really bother too much with the multiplayer stuff. May in the future, dunno. Also, if you add me, please do not take advantage of the fact that I tend to leave...

    US And European Release Dates For Pokémon Black & White 2 Confirmed

    Re: US And European Release Dates For Pokémon Black & White October is probably the worst time to release these. If the Wii U is out before the end of that month (which it sure seems like it will be in the US at least), it's going to be tough to justify paying out for two DS games on top of...

    Trainer Card Maker Bugs/Glitches

    That's definitely a code issue, not a browser one. Sadly, I can't do much about it right now. Maybe Petey can have a look at it sooner, but for now I'm afraid you'll just have to avoid using those specific backgrounds for now. As for the scrolling thing, it's basically just to bring you back...

    IGN seems to be backing that rumour up with its latest comparison article. I'm afraid that the ability to play B/W2 without it looking like shit, plus the larger screen in general may unfortunately be enough to sell me on this thing. The worst part is just knowing it'll barely be 12 months, if...

    The Prof Layton game is hard to care about since it's A) Not the one I want (the crossover) and B) Not one I can play forever anyway as I'm a billion games behind. And aside from the Inazuma Eleven game (whatever the fuck that is), there have been no other announcements from Nintendo about 3DS...

    That, and the fact that there are no 3DS games coming out for Europe this year. Well, ok, NSMB2 is, but you have to buy all the levels in the game afterwards anyway, so fuck that shit too.

    Diablo III

    In case you needed any other reason to not give Blizzard any money for this shit, here's the latest anti-consumer tactic they've thrown at this game: Diablo 3 patch limits new players from accessing entire game for up to 72 hours That's right, people. If you buy this game, you will not be...

    What are you playing?

    I've only played the second game, but personally I find it almost unplayable due to the stiff and awkward controls. It really should be a game where you can just absolutely let loose and fluidly take out all your foes - but it really isn't. Kind of a waste really. People made a lot of...

    E3 2012

    I think a lot more discussion about it is necessary - specifically in terms of the system's limitations. It's clear that the system will launch with some strengths and weaknesses in terms of visual parity with the existing consoles. The good news for now is that it's definitely on the higher end...
