Baaaad X-play!
 
OMG! They totally dissed Pokemon! -Rated PG13/14ish, If it were a movie, PG13. If you watch G4TV, you probably know what this is- --And I personally don't think this is "spammish". This is "Other Chat" which says right under the title "Just what it says. You can talk about anything here. You'll find the latest and greatest here as well as general conversations."--

I saw the whole thing. The kid should have not done it the interview in the first place. It was noticable that they would humiliate him. Then agian, the whole thing seems a fake.

Chibi-chan October 26th, 2005 5:22 PM

The entire thing WAS fake XDD

but it was very funny I think XP

Midnight_Dragon249 October 26th, 2005 5:39 PM

Yeah, I think it was one of their "Interns" that did it. It's fake, but still SO TOTALLY dissing Pokemon.

Arcanine October 26th, 2005 7:09 PM

The Interns are funny. XD

I watched that tonight and I found the whole thing funny. I guess because of the fact I do kind of agree with it. I don't sit around looking at my cards, holding them Pokemon toys or playing the games all day long like I used to do. XD

I'm glad I didn't watch G4 back when I thought about Pokemon every min, I would have went "OMG they bashed Pokemon! I'm not watching this anymore". XD

Midnight_Dragon249 October 27th, 2005 4:57 AM

This (and play the games, of course, they're so addicting!) is all I really do with pokemon anymore. But "The game's not for children, it's just really stupid. Okay, it's lame-ish. It's for retarded children," kinda bugs me, but hey, that's X-Play for ya! And I USED to be one of those that "Eats, Sleeps, And Breathes Pokemon" people. I have this closet, FULL of my old cards. I had some really rare ones too, like Shining Charizard and Shining Tyranitar. Now it's sorta hobby-thing. (I really don't know how you could make a hobby about liking something) :classic:

I jsut don;t like X Play and glad I don't watch it like everyday like I use to but they do this to every anime-related game. I love pokemon but X Play do things that just get me mad not just what they do to pokemon but to other good games too. They do this thing to basic every nintendo kid-like game that is out there. I think they were bashing on Zelda:WW right before it came out on Cube about it C-shade grafics which was stupid becasue the game was great.

X Play is just stupid. Most unreliable game news there is.

Makoto October 28th, 2005 7:32 AM

tha's just stupid. I don't watch G4 anyway, and now I have yet another reason not to. I also used to be one of those people who eats, sleeps, and breathes pokemon, and I have a WHOLE LOT of cards. Those are mostly from a long time ago, I haven't got any new ones since G/S/C came out, except for a few G/S/C pokemon. Not a single 3rd-gen card. Here and my Video Games are the only things I do even related to pokemon, as well. I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh Convert. I would still watch the show(pokemon, I mean) every once in a while, but it comes on the same time as Sonic X, so meh.

B-Baller October 28th, 2005 10:26 AM

LMAO, some bits had me cracking up like heck.

And if someone did actually think I'm not living a normal life cos I like Pokemon, I'd think that they're the one not living normal lives. People just like stuff more than other people do.

Here's an example of a conversation I had.
Harley: Is that Pokemon?
Me: Yeah...
Harley: I don't like those, they're dumb.
Me: ....you're nuts.

I reckon the best part was when the dude found some dudes who play "Pokemon", XD. When YGO players go out of their minds, XD

Allstories October 28th, 2005 11:32 AM

Hahaha, that was hilarious. XPlay is like the only good show on G4. I loved the Yu-Gi-Oh part.

Why is this in Other Chat, though?

Ryoutarou October 28th, 2005 11:40 AM

...because no one saw it was in the wrong area apparently.

Hinoshi-chan October 28th, 2005 12:23 PM

you know, I know there dissing pokemon, but this is hilarious stuff XD
when it was loading, it froze and it was that poke'holics face , and let me say , HE IS FREAKING SCARY
Billy-chuuu XD What a total loser :P
I loved the " THERE JUST CARDS " part XD man I love the yugioh parts XD man I loved it,

even though im a pokemon fan, I found that hilarious!

good for a faked thing mind you

Chiru October 28th, 2005 3:20 PM

Haha, I love XPlay. They've said things like this about other games that I like. I don't really care. To me, the whole idea of that show is basically being a humorous approach to game reviewing. Plus, like other people have said, they say things like this about nearly every game based on a popular anime. I'm just able to laugh at it and not take it to heart.

That clip was hilarious, btw. XD

oni flygon October 29th, 2005 5:32 PM

This is more of hillarious than stupid, you know?

RoxasOld October 29th, 2005 6:09 PM

Lyk omg. I saw this last week, when I went to my aunts house. Luckly, she had G4 o.o Anyways, I thought it was hilarious. I loved the yugioh-playing gangstas XD

SBaby October 31st, 2005 7:08 PM

Oh, yeah. I'm not surprised. The show's been going downhill really fast lately. And that's because people are starting to realize that X-Play just... isn't accurate with their reviews... I mean, Ebert and Roeper give more accurate reviews people!

Remember what they said about Fullmetal Alchemist? Sessler actually deducted points from the second game because AL sounds like a little kid!!! Let me repeat that. He complained in his trademark slurs and broken sentences about AL sounding like a kid! You heard me. Want proof? Here! But be warned. Your I.Q. might drop drastically from viewing this.

http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9299

They've also never seen a single episode of the show, or DBZ, or InuYasha. Morgan Webb actually admits this in a later episode when she reviews DBZ Sagas, saying that she was quote: 'too old to watch the kiddie shows that are on Cartoon Network'. Kiddie shows, people. I'm not kidding. Fullmetal Alchemist is now a show for children, according to X-Play! WTF?! See, if everyone listened to X-Play, we'd have kids bounty hunting wanted criminals and scratching each other's eyes out. And this is Mister D&D Player speaking here. I know what I'm talking about.

You can say the Pokemon thing was hilarious, I agree. And the Yu-Gi-Oh! gang was a nice touch. But the Fullmetal Alchemist thing was inexcusable. Square Enix ought to sue G4's pants off!!!

Oh. And I won't even go into what they did to Link... (use your imaginations)

The list goes on and on...

Now, it wasn't always about the reviews though. The show really fell apart when they actually brought in a live monkey and tried to teach it to play DDR and some other games (as well as salvage their dwindling ratings). Well, for those of you that haven't seen Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls yet (same type of monkey), I'll just say it turned out to be as idiotic of an idea as it sounds.

Not only did the monkey throw banana peelings all over the place, but it also seemed suspiciously attracted to Sessler's head. Now, I wish I had a picture of this, but you'll just have to take my word for it. Instead of removing the monkey, what do they do? Zoom in and give you a good look at Sessler's ear. Now, I hate the guy as it is, but do I really need to get a clean shot of his EAR?! Come on!

See X-Play? I'm avenging the Elrics, and it feels good.

It's not that X-Play is a bad show, just that you shouldn't base your choices of games on their reviews. In fact, you'd be an idiot to do so. If you want a more accurate review show, you should watch Judgement Day instead. If you really want an accurate set of reviews, you can usually get them in Game Informer or Playstation Magazine (GI especially, since they're not as biased).
