RODEN'S PROFILE

Just more of the concept really, I like it when the message is directly explored through characters and story rather than arting at the player. Like, I'd watch a documentary over a played up movie or something, I don't know. I just don't like art games.

Knytt Underground is a good example of how to explore realistic themes such as friendship and the meaning behind life/religion, as opposed to games like Limbo/The Path where things are so vague that it's hard to say if there was even a message at all.

Just got my first shiny Pokemon. Feels good, man.

It's amazing how good B/W was storywise - shame X/Y doesn't seem to have replicated it (just beaten Team Flare etc.). I'm fine with them not making many new Pokemon this time, though, because there's a lot of new stuff to digest as it is (new moves, new whole type, hell, new Pokemon models) and anything more than a motherfudging Keychain Pokemon would be grasping.

I don't mind if Game Freak continue making new Pokemon games, but I think it's time to put an end to creating new Pokemon.

Added every FC on this page, by the way. *hint hint*

I actually like the designs of almost all the new Pokemon, I'm just upset because when I play a new generation I want to really get into learning about the new Pokemon and being surprised when they pop up and stuff like that. I was grumpy the whole time because I kept running into shit I already knew about, and having so many Pokes from other gens cluttered up the game.

I'm just waiting for all the info about X to surface now, so I can read it over and check out anything I might have missed... Although I'm not expecting that I missed that much. I'm also genuinely hoping that instead of making Pokemon Z or something dumb like that, they'll do a remake of Ruby/Sapphire. That would probably be the only thing that could completely save Gen 6 in my eyes.

Recently beat the 7th gym and some, uh, shitty plot-related stuff. So far, I'm really liking some of the new Pokemon: Aegislash is an absolute freaking best thanks to its ability, and Delphox is a solid special attacker/support.

The one major complaint I have about this game is that it's way too easy. I should never be 10 levels above gym leaders' Pokemon, and it's embarrassing how most of them aren't even fully evolved.

My 3DS Friend Code's 5129-1407-0950 - I'll add you guys soon.

While I did say that it was pretty hard, after the second gym it really loses it's difficulty curve. I beat the E4 and champion on my first try which is extremely sad. Also, the plot could have been better set up, but I guess B/W was a pretty hard act to follow, so I understand why I feel like it's not as good in that department. What makes me the most sad is that they created this absolutely massive Pokedex (like, 454 or something?) and only created around 68 new Pokemon. I'm fairly certain there's only a handful of legendaries too, barring the discovery of event Pokes or something like that.

Sad thing is, you can't transfer pokemon until this December shortly after Christmas with Poke Transfer and Poke Bank (should've been an in-game application but noooo) :P

I would say that this was upsetting to find out, but after considering it I don't want to transfer my Lv 100 Blaziken or Golurk from White, since there's really no post game stuff to do in X/Y.

I can't really say. I'm a pretty huge Nintendo guy, which I know is a pretty broad label. I tend to enjoy even the stuff that most people hate, and I'm excited for basically every new Nintendo first party release. The games may not be A+ a lot of the time but it's hard to deny the polish that they all carry. They also are generally less bullshit about DLC, now that they've finally adopted it.

The only dev that I 100% trust to make cool shit is Game Freak, I suppose. I love every Pokemon game, and their other stuff is pretty cool as well. There's Studio Pixel for Cave Story and Nifflas for the Knytt series.

Most of the companies that I used to love, like Square, Namco/Bandai, Bioware (from how things look), Maxis, and Rareware have pretty much all gone down the drain in recent years. I would name some more indie companies that I love, but really that market is only just springing up, so no studio has more than like, two games. It's hard to find a name that really sticks out beyond one project at the moment.

I follow Bethesda a lot, but outside of Fallout 3 and Oblivion I'm not that into their games, so I can't that I trust them to always have something cool on the go. From what little I played Skyrim struck me badly and TES Online was a weird idea.
