    Fave 4th-Gen Console

    Old thread, but... my feeling is that the PS2 has more games, but it also has a lot more UTTERLY CRAP games! Maybe 10% of PS2 games interest me, if that. Whereas something like 2/3 of everything released for the GameCube has been a game I'd at least rent for a couple of nights. Don't even get...

    Favorite GameCube Video Game?

    Animal Crossing is my absolute favourite. I'm actually mildly annoyed that it finally got released in Europe, because that means I might have to go and buy it again, and I bet my existing village isn't compatible with another region... Wind Waker comes second, though. It just looks amazing, and...

    Trainer Sprite... things.

    I want a Science Genius Girl trainer sprite. You can use a Mad Scientist from the Silph Corporation and combine him with one of the generic dark-haired girls - like the Ru/Sa player character. Fank oo :). (edit:) btw, Ekrimjea is The Most Wrong Pokemon EVAR!! That's not to say it isn't a...

    What's the deal with Gengar?

    Yeah - I think your theory might be right. Ruby & Sapphire were the first Pokemon games I ever played - up until that point I thought they were games for little kiddies (I only bought Sapphire because I was addicted to a wap game called Dino Island which I realised was basically a Pokemon...

    Are you bold?

    Miss, actually ;). But thanks.

    You almost lost me ^^

    I love the way that one is optional :P. That's sooo cool! On the other hand, http://pokemon.nintendo.co.uk/ sucks harder than a very sucky thing. It is unbelievably slow and clunky, and looks like it was made in 2000 - which isn't that long ago, except that the web has moved on leaps and...

    Here's a question for you UK-ers...

    There are two types of treacle. The kind of treacle that is in treacle tart, which is probably what you're asking about, is like a much thicker version of Golden Syrup (you have that, right?). Treacle tart is like jam tart, but one large one that's cut into pieces for everyone eating it rather...

    Thoughts on the Deoxys situation

    Just in case you don't already know, according to several sites, the Aurora Ticket is NOT an actual piece of paper ticket, or even an e-reader ticket. It's a download that is put on your cartridge at the Nintendo Event. That's why you have to attend with your game cartridge. And it's the only...

    STAB, the technics of stat changing moves and what not

    Woah! :shock: I am in awe of your l33t information-finding skill. Out of interest, how/where did you find that info? :wink:

    DPPt/HGSS Moves that can hit you while you're off-screen...?

    Firstly, apologies for the terrible title. I couldn't think of a way to express what I'm trying to ask about in one short sentence. There are some Pokemon attacks - like Dig, Fly and Dive - where you go "elsewhere" for one turn (into the air, ground or water). This is a useful battle technique...

    DPPt/HGSS Cool Contest

    What do you mean by the "actual appeals"? Round One (where audience members decide if they like you) or Round Two (where you appeal to the judges with moves). 10 hearts for Round Two sounds pretty low to me, as even with jamming and loss of hearts, I usually manage to come out with 12-15 hearts...

    Insert random knowledge 'here'

    It's back up today - and OH MY GOD THE PINK, THE PINK! *blinded* Here's the beta Pokemon - or rather alpha. I don't think I'd ever bothered to look at the Metal generation files there, which is probably why I hadn't seen them. I'm very disturbed by the Magikarp length calculator (also in that...

    Thoughts on the Deoxys situation

    Heh. I should point out that I don't actually have much money - I just have very little sense :D. My friend has gone to Tokyo for a conference and is under strict instructions to go to the Pokemon Center while he's there. He is not really into video games at all, and was somewhat scared by the...

    Are you bold?

    I'm a teacher. While I have occasional desires to form a Support Group For Adult Players of Pokemon (usually associated with spending too long reading the GameFAQs forums), I don't make a secret of it either. My best friends sympathise but don't want to get involved, because they are addicted to...

    Which Pokemon are you?

    I have been VERY tempted to write a "Which Pokemon are you?" test with ~380 different answers ;). Yet another one of the things to add to My List Of Things To Do When I Have Copious Free Time. The second sentence of that is true, but I dunno about the first one... er... But I went back and...

    Insert random knowledge 'here'

    Where are the beta pokemon on Pokemon Forever? I must be unobservant... I'm stupidly amused by the description of Oddish in Fire Red's Pokedex: Its scientific name is "Oddium Wanderus". At night, it is said to walk nearly 1,000 feet on its two roots. Just thought I'd mention that because it...

    DPPt/HGSS Cool Contest

    OK, I know this is an old topic, but I might as well reply anyway ;). Swellows are good for Cool contests because you have a lot of possible moveset options, some of which are also useful for battle. The three options I came up with are: option 1: Peck, Focus Energy, Double Team, Quick...

    DPPt/HGSS Cool Contest

    I wasted a large number of hours on Contests after I beat the Elite Four in Sapphire and couldn't be bothered levelling up my team enough to have a go at catching Rayquaza. (I still need to do that sometime, but I've been distracted by Fire Red/Leaf Green...). Anyway, I was getting great...
