    Post your Desktops. Or die.

    I hope TBA knows what you mean by that, 'cos I sure don't :D. Here's mine. Notice the vast quantity of Sims 2-related shortcuts (7 in total - 8 if you include WinRAR, which I only have because most Sims custom content comes as .rar files). There's also some junk on my desktop that really...

    Pokemon 10th Anniversary Countdown/Discussion

    I don't think it's sad at all. There are about 100 things that a depressed teenager or young adult searching for validation or a release from pain could get into, all of which are way more harmful to long-term health than Pokemon. Drugs? Alcohol? Smoking? Glue-sniffing? Graffiti-ing? Vandalism...

    What's the Last NEW Game You Played?

    Peter went into town and came back with We Love Katamari, which is finally out in Europe. It's insanely fun. Other than that, Pokemon XD, all the way.

    The Battle Sims in XD

    Oh, I did the Slowpoke challenge on my second attempt. Got given the clue by attempting to use Confuse Ray on Slowpoke in my first attempt... ;) I still maintain it's devious, though. Although you can Check the CDs before playing to see the order of pkmn, levels, movesets and held items, you...

    The Battle Sims in XD

    Oh my God! The Battle Sim CDs! They rock! ;D I've done about 20 of them so far - the one that caused me the most trouble was the third, or maybe fourth one I did: no. 20, "Let slip the Houndoom". The problem was that I didn't have the sufficiently devious mindset required for the puzzle. I...

    Does anyone know how to get a shiny wthout a gameshark?

    I got bored enough restarting my game 25 times to get a female starter... - and that probability is supposed to be 1/8! (iirc, it took me 2 attempts to get a female Mudkip, 8 attempts to get a female Treecko - and 25 attempts to get a female Torchic. Argh). I dread to think how many times I'd...

    DPPt/HGSS Breloom

    Can it? That's news to me. Spore only appears on Shroomish's moveset, it's not a move that Breloom can learn by level-up. So I didn't think the Move Tutor/Relearner could teach it? Have you definitely tried this?

    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl - TEH OMGZ FEATURES AND PLOTZ!

    Ahahahahaaaa! Brilliant ;D. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will be the very first Pokemon game to feature sleep. Yep, for every 12 hours you spend running around the field, you'll need to spend 8 hours asleep. This will not be amazingly interesting to watch and will mostly be a drain on the DS...

    The 4 new Pokemon (Spoilerz)

    I think it's deliberate. They'll want to save the best 'till last. If they show us the most amazing new Pokemon right now, by the time the game comes out we'll be disappointed. Trickling them out a few at a time lets us revisit the old Pokemon the new ones are pre-evos of and start talking about...

    fav pokémon

    WOBBUFFET! :D The poor little blue guy is so abused by Jessie in the anime. But he's so sweet! We got a bunch of the Johto League DVDs for Christmas, and saw the episode Wobbu-palooza - and it's the Best Pokemon Episode EVAR!! And Team Rocket's Robo-Mecha-Wobbuffet is the best of their mechas...

    How do they know which PokeBall is which?

    This is something I've always wondered as well. Mind you, not as much as I wonder other things about the anime. Like, for example, it seems that the only animals present in their world are Pokemon. They don't have ordinary, "stupid" animals, only the intelligent Pokemon that can be trained...

    Ocarina of Time question

    OK, I know it's an old game. I play the Zelda games s-l-o-w-l-y. Basically because I find them so difficult that after a couple of hours I'm throwing down the controller in frustration. Also, my friends object to the level of screaming (as monsters fall down from the ceiling - ARGH FLOOR...

    What's your status in Pokemon XD? (Possible Spoilers)

    Miror B., fun? :o Please tell me he does something other than the 4 Ludicolos... I've battled him once, and that time he had 3 Lombres and whatever the Shadow thing was. I guess with 4 Ludicolos, at least you know what to expect ;). How could I have forgotten the Purification Chamber? Oh...

    Game Challenges: Sparking life in the RPGs

    I'm doing this with The Sims at the moment - this unbelievably evil challenge called the Ethiopian Challenge. The brief version of the rules are: 1. Ethiopians are starving! No spending money on food! You cannot cook food! But you can steal cooked food from sims in other families. 2. Ethiopians...

    Does anyone know how to get a shiny wthout a gameshark?

    I have still never even seen a shiny, except in sprite lists on various websites. I think they are a myth, made up to annoy obsessive completists like me :o.

    What's your status in Pokemon XD? (Possible Spoilers)

    I'm a-bumping 'cos I finally started the game on Sunday. Yes, I know I've taken my time - been too obsessed with Sims 2 to really play much else. (The Sims was my first serious video game obsession - but by the time it had 5 expansion packs my computer couldn't run it any more, so I needed a new...

    DPPt/HGSS Pokemon Challenges

    Using 2 types is much more sensible, not least of all because it removes the peskier vulnerabilities ;). Now witness my powers of cut & paste :P. Ludicolo @Leftovers - WATER/GRASS Tank that can also do BIG damage if necessary. Rain Dish ability - restores HP during rain. Weaknessess: 2x...

    DPPt/HGSS An Emerald Team! Yay!

    This is probably way too late to be useful, but never mind, eh? For Ludicolo, I'll just cut & paste from my all-Grass team :D. Ludicolo @Leftovers - WATER/GRASS Tank that can also do BIG damage if necessary. Rain Dish ability - restores HP during rain. Weaknessess: 2x vulnerable to Poison...

    DPPt/HGSS I need serious help with my team

    Are you still wanting help with this? It's been so long, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd either ploughed on and finished the game long ago, or given up entirely :P. Anyway, if you are about, I can certainly suggest improvements. Combusken, Kirlia and Nuzleaf evolve into pretty powerful pkmn...

    DPPt/HGSS Pokemon Challenges

    It's at times like this I really regret that Chris at Pokemon Forever had that attack of not wanting to be associated with pkmn anymore, and took all his stuff down :-\. Had I realised he was going to do that, I would've taken a copy of all the useful pages. Anyway. This isn't a finished team...
