I don't know if anyone still hangs around here
=oo=;;; I just bumped into here again, while finding places to spam...
Should I reactivate the spam zone here...? I don't have many random pics and stuff to spam around anymore because I've just upgraded my laptop to dual core to get ready for Vista, and I was stupid enough not to keep/backup the old hard drive...... ~.~"
Anyway, just found out that my new laptop (Toshiba Satellite P100) has a 512MB 7900 GS discrete video card in it, pure WTFness - I wonder how they squeezed the damn thing in, as the desktop version is
MASSIVE... It hardly matters now as I don't have time for games anymore, I bought it just because it's cheap...
Back to Pokemon stuff - is anyone getting D/P when they come out? I just saw all the new translations of attack names etc. and IMO the English translation of Pokemon is getting more and more "all your base"... I can still remember the good old color days where I never had to read FAQ's or anything to get through the game and understand everything (I was only 10 or 11 back then), GSC are fine, too, but when RSE came out, they added so many new things that they can't even translate/explain properly in English, and I couldn't even finish the game the first time without looking at walkthroughs =oo=;;;... So I'm having a bad feeling about D/P's translation, I can only hope it's not too AYB to understand... Maybe I'll just download the ROMs and try them out on the Super Card first.
IMO the Psychic and Ghost classes have got a major buff in D/P because Shadow Ball became a special attack and most Psychics and Ghosts have access to Focus Blast, so now they have counters for Dark and Ghost Pokemon. But that Gallade guy is something special, he is more of a critical hitter, but most of his good attacks are not inherited from Kirlia though...
And, they've further nerfed the already useless Poison class by making Sludge Bomb a special attack. The first nerf was removing Bug's weakness to Poison, but at the same time removed Poison's weakness to Bug, so that's not exactly a nerf, but this time it's a little absurd...
Another thing that gets me: why can't Gardevoir and Alakazam learn Dark Pulse? Almost every other high-tier Pokemon have some move to stun the opponent, though... Maybe DP won't help much on Gardevoir because he doesn't have the speed, and Hypnosis' accuracy got buffed to 70%, but it'll certainly help a lot on Alakazam.
OK, enough spam for one day...... (Note: Ctrl+C --> Ctrl+V ftw =3)
PS: If you have a PS2, you gotta try out this new game called Ar Tonelico... It's made by the same people who made the Atelier series, but it's way more non-game-ish than Ateliers... It's super hilarious, though, just try not to play it in front of your parents...
