Cool Thanks.

Here's another one.

WARNING - Douche Zone.

Wow I think I'm becoming nerdy with my heart gold version. (I have a pokewalker, with Pineco, on me as I'm typing!)

So far I have the first 3 badges. Falkner wasn't as tough as I thought he would be, Bugsy's Schyther was a fuckin' bitch to beat (died about two times trying to face him, stupid "U-turn" ability!). Compared to that, Whitney was a joke (Geodude + Rock Smash spam = Win)

My highest stat in my party is currently Gloom, and that was due to the fact that I left it, as an Oddish, too long in the daycare. I also got to the point of participating in that bug catching contest (brings back sweet memories), and failed miserably against a Scyther (I swear, I'm having bad luck against those pokemon!). So I lost it due to the level 17 Metapod I caught. My Butterfree, the pokemon I took to the contest, was also angry with me... OOOH THE SHAME! Currently, I'm at the Pokethalon and won the speed contest with my Pidgeotto, Ratatta (named Ratty524), and Onyx.

I have to say the touch-screen mini-games this has actually make this game highly enjoyable, since I'm not just going around and grinding like in the older games. I don't know if that's news to you guys since I haven't kept track with this series. As everyone is saying, the UI also is much more convenient, and makes good use out of the DS features. My main complaint, and I don't know if it's common with the series, is that the intro is a little slow-paced. Thank god I also adjusted the text speed as well.

On the side, I love how the developers brought back the system where pokemon follow you on the maps (and not just pikachu!). With this, I know that my Gastly loves me...

Another side note: I hate every NPC in this game... Seriously. They are not even funny like in the Mario RPGs, they are just annoying and psychotic.

Their psychotic? I remember half of them being batshit, and one guy got his face blasted off from a hyper beam from dragonite, but the other half were okay.For the most part anyway.

I resetted for shiny totodile, got it the first day, now I'm resetting for shiny legendary dogs.

Have fun destroying what little fun there is of Pokémon with it's "deep strategic" side. I play the games pretty much without a worry for those things and that won't be changing any time soon. Too many games, too little time.

edit: Can the Pokémon be abused like a normal pedometer (i.e. shake it vertically)?

Yeah, the whole EV thing is getting waaaaay to into it. Hell, I know a crapton about Pokemon, and I am very selective when it comes to my team, but I would never go THAT far, cause the difference isn't even noticeable.

Also, I'm getting Heartgold tomorrow. Fuck yeah.

Got a lot of catching up to do though.... :[

Someone should attempt a pokemon-esque RPGmaker game. (Yeah, I tried, and I realized I'd rather code something than learn RM2k3.)

tardis captured my feelings perfectly
