"Perhaps this post isn’t anything more than me venting out my frustrations with people who refuse to understand why I would choose to play Pokemon over something like Call of Duty or World of Warcraft. Or to those who think they’ve outgrown the franchise that they used to love just because they got older."
"Self-proclaimed psychic Uri Gellar built his reputation on his supposed ability to bend spoons with the power of his mind. When Nintendo introduced Kadabra, a psychic-type Pokemon that carries a bent spoon, he sued for $100 million over claims that the game had stolen his identity. Gellar lost. You'd think he'd have seen that coming."
"The Science of Collecting
The Pokémon games have some cute, original creature designs, but beyond their cuddly forms (and the hulking monsters many of them grow into) there are a lot of them -- 493 at last count. And, like with any repetitive game that offers rewards directly related to time spent in the game (see also World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time) the capacity for endless grinding to raise a character's level by even a fraction is an almost primal..."
"It’s very unlikely that anyone reading this hasn’t played at least one Pokemon game. The Pokecraze lasted for years, and to this day it’s still extremely popular. The formula works, and while some changes would be nice, with minor changes we could have a perfect Pokemon game. A few of my ideas involve more radical changes though, but those are much less likely to be implemented."
"It's a common occurrence reviewing Nintendo DS games: the occasional release will feature online support using the established Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service and the Nintendo DS system's inherent Wi-Fi capabilities. To test out the support, we'll hop on the service and try to play a match-up with someone else across the globe just to see how well or poorly the feature's been implemented, checking to see how well the game holds up to the usual internet lag.
To get things going, we'll try..."
"I know a bit about crime because I grew up on the streets. And by "streets" I mean a cul de sac in the suburbs. And by "on" I mean safely indoors because I was not allowed to go outside by myself until I was 19 years old (why do you think I played so much Pokemon?)
So with all the evil teams hellbent on stirring up trouble in the Pokemon universe, the antagonists begin to run together. Which one got all of its members beaten by a child? Oh right, that would be all of them. And while that f..."
Jack DeVries is a self-proclaimed Pokemon maniac. He's not ashamed to admit he plays "alternate world" in his bedroom. In fact, he even bought a cook book just because it had "poke" on it.
This craziness lead him to the creating of a blog for all things Pokemon themed which are just really weird, odd or just shouldn't be done.
Read on to see how you can eat, fish, read, smell, touch, ride and jump around inside Pokemon!
Jack DeVries of ign.com recently went to an event for the upcoming Pokemon game, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. While there, he decided for some unknown reason to compile a mental list of the Pokemon you really just don't want to catch, the sort that mentally prevent you from catching them all.
Each Pokemon listed is given a little bit of information (Name, Type, Number and Species) from the Pokedex before a a nice healthy statement of why you don't want to go anywhere near that Pokemon...
Mums always do a really good job making a great birthday party when you're a little kid. They always come up with fun themes, games and generally make it a whole lot of fun.
This mum decided that if her child loved Pokemon, he'd be getting Pokemon! She made some pretty cool looking Pokemon cupcakes. Faces include Snorlax, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Piplup, Munchlax and Turtwig.
Hungry?
"Case one: You're a spiky haired boy walking through the woods and a butterfly flutters out of a nearby tree. What would you do?
A. Watch it and admire nature's beauty
B. Do a happy dance
C. Eat a leaf
D. Convince your animals friends to "use flamethrower" on it, just for the experience
Now if you're a normal person you'd probably do A, B, or even C, depending on how tastey the leaf looks. If you're the main character of Pokémon, however, you'd go with D. Why is that acceptable?!? Only ..."
"The long and short of it is that apparently a store in Goose Creek, South Carolina had a few copies of both versions up on their shelves the day they had received them. Keeping calm, he grabbed one of the copies off the shelf, walked to the register, paid, and then proceeded to stroll out of the store having complete knowledge that he just took a figurative dump on its proposed street date. Hurray for retailers who don't know what they're doing!"
