I have a Wii U and a 3DS and a capable PC. That's next-gen enough for me, at least for now. There's nothing I really want on the Xbox One, and the only game I want on the PlayStation 4 is No Man's Sky. Not enough to buy a new console for.

I don't care much for the Pokemon themselves, but I love the idea and the execution of them. In a sort of disjointed way, it kind of pushes a bit more world-building in the series. Although Pichu is adorable and my favorite "cute" Pokemon.

I ended my run of AlphaSapphire with: Swampert (Mega) Magneton Breloom Ninetails Swellow and Dragalge (Imported from Kalos) I loved them all and they all had impressive synergy with each other. ...except for Ninetails. I have no idea why, but Ninetails did not pull its weight on my in-game...

Pretty much all of these reasons are why. Choosing Pikachu as the mascot was a brilliant move. It's cute, but not overtly gender-skewed so it has universal appeal, it is different enough to be interesting, but not so different to the point where it looks strange, like some other Pokemon...

Actually not too long ago I beat the first The Legend of Zelda on the NES. It was tough. A little too tough at some points. Some enemies just felt too strong, even for the time.

I have not. Never was interested enough in the Tales Of games to give them an honest try. Tales of Symphonia was pretty cool but it just wasn't for me. Monster Hunter

I don't know how much of a spoiler the first 20 minutes of The Last of Us is, but I'm going to put up a spoiler warning, just in case.

Affection in Pokemon-Aime and happiness are two different things. Happiness is how you evolve Eevee into Umbreon or Espeon, the Night and Day formes. You can raise happiness by battling other Pokemon, getting a massage at Cyllage City, leveling up, and just walking around. He's just gotta keep...

Admittedly, there is a lot to love about this generation. The music, the presentation, the Pokemon, the region, everything is a step up! I'm loving the regional pokedex variety. There's a lot of Pokemon that you can obtain in just one game cartridge, and it never feels like you're being...

The entire Donkey Kong Country series. All of it. They all contain beautiful pieces of music literally all of the time. A few select examples are: And let's not forget: --- Excluding that, a few of my favorite pieces are: Dire Dire Docks / Jolly Roger Bay (Super Mario 64): Song of...

I usually don't pay too much attention to box art. I use the same rule I do for books and movies: Don't judge by their cover. I will say, though, that box art that works is really neato. I'm personally a big fan of simplistic artwork, ones that don't try and impress me with box art alone. I...

I didn't really like the rivals this time around. Tierno and Trevor went off to do their own things. Trevor would have been a great idea to focus heavy on the Pokedex but there's no real benefit to it. Personally, I feel they could have done a lot more with Serena. It would be more satisfying...

SANIC AVENCHER 2 I'm not a fan of most Sonic games. 2D or 3D. but for some reason I always want to beat my time in City Escape. I have no idea why.

I share some of the opinions here. I think graphics that go for great artistic direction as opposed to trying to be as realistic as possible have a much longer lasting appeal. That's why games like WoW don't look nearly as dated as other games from the era: it's the beauty of the design. I...

I actually have a lot of these, but a few that come to mind are: Pokemon - Kanto Regions: Both the trek between Vermillion City and Lavander Town, and Route 12-Route 15. Both of those seem to take forever, with an endless supply of trainers that seems to drag on far too long. Banjo-Kazooie...
