Japan don't use the term "Shiny Pokémon" for Shiny Pokémon, so I doubt it's anything to do with that particular aspect.

That Sweet Sweet Kingdom highlight is such a beautiful moment of comedy. The timing is too perfect. Also, the Piranha Plant on Royal Raceway was me. After your battle shenanigans, I'm not even remotely sorry. Anyway!

Trust me, you weren't the only one. You would not believe the amount of barrages I got thrown at me.

Oh come on! @Nintendo Fan Don't you start!

Seriously @martinist change your character. I have to discount your score for that GP now

Oh sure 6 red shells and a Blue! You guys are totally not over the top!

HEY! @martinist Baby Peach is not allowed! Grow up!

Yep, that's Youtube. Any sort of big game comes out and it's a race to get a video of the finale up as soon as possible. Best just to avoid it in general if you want to go into a new game.

Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @viceview51 @RedShell @S.C.G @Nicktendo (maybe) @Nintendo Fan If you're gonna be a few minutes late (about 5 minutes), @Nicktendo, let us know so we can wait for you.

Which means he hasn't even got a job distracting him. No excuses.

I could forgive the poor Pokédex, but he's not even that good when it comes to battling. The best he's managed is winning a Pokémon League that doesn't even exist. Gary and me are right, he's a loser. He's so lame, he made Greninja less cool through association. It lost to a Charizard right? While super powered? Amateur. He also keeps boxing his old Pokémon for the latest flavour of the month. Nothing against experimenting, but come on.

Wait, could someone in the know tell me why Sakurai of all people is involved in this?

Pretty sure those don't work anymore. On the other hand, GIMME!

Half of it is a 3D platformer. Then it becomes a survival horror, then a Third Person Shooter, then a Banjo-Kazooie transformation sequence, then a movie rip-off, then another movie rip-off. It's utterly hilarious, but it's also really hard. I enjoyed it, but I'm also content with never playing it again. It's certainly an experience. And an amazing technical achievement (For the N64) Worth noting that the XBox version cuts some of the original content.

Wow, that is just mean.

More speed and weight is not necessarily a good thing. It does cost you acceleration and handling. Acceleration behaves strangely compared to the other stats. So you might be screwing yourself big time if you cut acceleration. Daisy is heavier than Peach as well. So it's not clear cut as you might think.

After the Vita, I imagine Sony would be very hesitant on trying to muscle in on the handheld side of the industry, even with a Hybrid console, and I would also imagine there's be a bit of a backlash if they have to lower the specs to account for a hybrid console. "Dem Graphix!" tends to be a big selling point for the Sony/Microsoft audience. Microsoft on the other hand seem to be focusing more on the PC side of gaming. So it'd be kinda strange to suddenly change tack to hybrid consoles.

Man, if those borders are mandatory. @Dcubed will throw a fit. Which makes me kinda want them not to be toggable.

Mighty Switch Force is great fun. So I'm well psyched to play the secret third entry.

OK, after discounting the invasions that may have totally been on me. Here are the results after the usual recalculations. @martinist is this week's "Player who made no bloody difference!" Well done? @BowserBasher reclaims 3rd place from @Nicktendo and also becomes the first person to get 10 3rd places. Who's gonna be the one to claim the 10 2nd places? Who knows? Who cares? Next League Night: 19th April 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @viceview51 You're getting a bit more freedom here. Feel free to choose any of the three Mario Princesses. Cat Peach, Pink Gold Peach and the babies are not allowed. So don't try to be clever. Sign up now!

Time for some disconnection housekeeping. @S.C.G Your GP2 score is 9, which is lower than your average (23.2). @martinist Your GP3 score is 21, which is lower than your average (29.1). Would you like me to keep these scores to maintain your attendance?

Well, there's no sense in trying to outdo @BowserBasher, but let's have a crack at it anyway.

Wow, that last highlight! Amazing! None of my highlights even compare. Pure Comedy!

Yeah sure, and when you get around to the highlights, feel free to use any footage of them. I'm sure they'll love to see any funnies.

Well, now I have to explain the creepy Iggy Cult that those two stumbled into on Sunday. That's going to be fun. Maybe I should send them next week's schedule just in case. One of them almost beat me on the last GP, that would have been embarrassing. Results are gonna take a bit of time to recalculate to 9 people.
