Pokémon Battle Revolution

Pokémon Battle Revolution

Skylanders is a unique style of game in which players can interchange characters with collectible figures they place on a surface. Is this a concept that other games could utilize? Mike D from Yet Another Gaming Show looks at a couple other examples of games that could consider this very notion.

Video games make good Movies. Video Games also make good fake Movie trailers. They are hilarious and coming from video games you would never expect. So check them out!

Pokemon 000, Triple Zero, 'The Victory Pokemon', Victini will be available for those that buy Pokemon Black or Pokemon White from launch March 6, until April 10

"This week's cosplay babe of the week was a toughy. She's associated with one of the most popular video game franchises in the history of gaming, but more for the merchandising and cartoons than being a gym leader in red and blue. The moment we see Misty, we instantly say "gotta catch 'em all"."

"While everyone is getting excited about Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver, we're moving away from the main series to look at your favourite Pokémon spin off games. 
For fans, the main RPG series has always been the big deal but over the years, Pokémon have branched out and starred in everything from puzzlers to pinball games and adventures. We asked Pokémon fans on our forum to vote for their favourite Pokémon spin off games on our website and here are the results."

"But on to more important stuff. See, I hate reading. It's for pretentious jerks that think they're better than everyone. In fact, I don't even like writing. I use speak and spell software to dictate my articles to the computer. It takes six hours for a review but it's totally worth it.

The one exception to my hatred of reading is when I'm searching the internet for the latest and greatest Pokemon fanfictions. Nobody writes about the Pokemon universe better than 12-year-old girls."

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!

That's right, Nintendo is planning something quite special with DSvision. It'll be coming out on the 18th of December.

The package will be 2GB all up. It'll comprise five of the movies, totaling to over five hours worth of watching!

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?

"Lopunny poses like a Playboy bunny in a centerfold spread. Or a prostitute working the sidewalk. Either way, it's sexually suggestive. It also grabs its chest area like it's trying to keep you from seeing the goods. And is it just me or do Lopunny's elbows look like a pair of drooping...boobs? There's so much subconscious sexual imagery going on with Lopunny - if I saw one standing like that at a bar, I might just have to take it home with me."

A great graduation speech about trying to be the best, like no one ever was, traveling across the land, searching far and wide, evolving and training to achieve your goals.


Oh and Pokemon

"#10 Happiny

It's not like Happiny isn't cute. We would love to pick it up and squish it. It's just that Happiny looks like Kirby in drag, and although Nintendo's pink puffball loves dressing up, we just never envisioned him prancing around as a girl. Hey, we'd love him no matter what he looked like."

We know Pokemon can be a fun experience. But, with Pokemon Battle Revolution recently being released on the Wii, it appears that the "fun experience" has been toned down... to mediocre.

If the video doesnt play, I will give a little rundown. The game's visuals are blocky and the game gets repetetive. The online play is cool, but with the animations the battles go really slow. You cant see who you are battling, and you dont know what pokemon the other person has until the battle has started...

What do you get when the hugely popular Pokemon series barges its way into Nintendo's DS Lite fabrication facility looking for some ego-bolstering glory? What you get is everyone standing aside while the Pikachu DS Lite is born. Prepare for them to be rarer than rocking horse dung!

"DS Battle Mode (requires DS systems for all players, sold separately): Four players can gather together and battle while using Pokémon from their Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl video games. All players use the DS as their controller in this mode, and it uses the same battle interface found in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.

Players can customize their Trainers in the game.

Nintendo DS Battle Mode: This multiplayer mode is for those who also own Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl as ..."

Linked to from Joystiq, apparently it has been discovered that Japanese Pokémon players are willing to give up some of their better Pokémon for even the lowliest of low-level fodder simply because...their names are in English.

Did you miss out on pre-ordering Pokémon to get that nifty stylus? Or do you simply not like the series but have the need to just use SOMETHING better than the stock stylus that comes with your DS? You actually have two choices!

Amazon.com is selling both the Dialga and Palkia styli for $2 each with FREE SHIPPING included. You are only limited to one per order though so you're only going to spend $4 at most. Those with Amazon Prime are fortuate enough to be able to use their Prime stat...

"As I entered Nintendo's front-and-center booth in the West hall, the first game that caught my eye was Pokémon on the Nintendo Wii. I watched the people currently engaged in battle finish up their match, and then I took my turn. Another person picked up the other DS system, and after a little setup, we were ready to begin.

Now, all three systems were displaying Japanese, but the man running the display had a handy sheet for the Pokémons' names and moves. To be fair, I asked my opponent if ..."
