Noki Bay in particular is absolute hell to find the Blue Coins on. Hope you like squirting random walls in the vain hope of finding one.

Well, I'm looking at a Pizza Box right now. It's colourful and has a funny looking Italian man on it... *gasp* I'VE HAD ONE ALL ALONG!

I imagine it's because the WiiU is on it's way out. Didn't a very similar thing happen at the end of the Wii's lifespan?

I was having a jab, but I'm sorry it came across badly. I wonder if that Flygon was locked into Fly because of Choice Scarf/Choice Band? Was it their last Pokemon? That would explain it. Still funny though. I personally like to put an Assault Vest on Chesnaught, sure it means I can't use Status Moves, but you'd be surprised the amount of people who go straight for Special moves when they see it. It catches a lot of people out. Because, you know. Smogon setups... Shame that it's typing is not very good defensive wise.

You can slap that name on all the products in the world, it won't stop it from being an incredibly stupid name. Greninja was a cool enough design without plonking some ridiculous-looking hair on it. And those poor other Gen 6 starters. Getting shafted like that. Chesnaught is too awesome to deserve the blatant disrespect it gets! He is a knight and you will give him the respect he deserves! And Delphox sho... Actually, you know what? Screw Delphox, when your mid evolution gets into Pokken, you know no-one likes you.

Oh right, I forgot that the Trading Card Game dictated everything that happens in the mainline games... It doesn't even make sense for you to be able to have this Greninja. Yes, through the sheer power of the bond you develop with this Greninja, it can take on the appearance of some random kid who hasn't won an actual Pokemon League in almost 20 years! You know what, demo? You can keep your loser associated Greninja (Because Gary's right, Ash is a loser). I'm perfectly happy with my 5 IV, Shiny Timid Protean Greninja that I spent over 3 months trying to get and is named after the French word for Cheese. It is far more desirable.

I'll take your word for it, but I'm still going on blackout the moment that demo hits. Just to be safe.

I don't see why you're angry, it's a testament to high-quality game physics. There is nothing wrong with how the Pachinko Machine in Sunshine works... Nothing at all.

Can you actually use the Magic Mirror in a boss room? I've never tried it... If that doesn't work than there's absolutely no way for you to beat the Turtle Rock boss if you run out of magic and don't have any potions. Not quite the same as just running out of health. That's not an unwinnable situation, you just lose. There's a difference.

Everstone sounds like just the thing you need. They're actually calling it Ash-Greninja? Oh, for the love of... Oh well, I'll choose use my Charizard and get myself a guaranteed win against anyone who uses it, eh? That ability it's got sounds kinda, well, crap. I mean compared to Protean, it's awfully rubbish, isn't it? Anyway, there's far more interesting stuff than that. It sounds a bit like the Entralink from Black/White mixed with Splatfests. I'm intrigued... The Entralink was quite fun, so I'm happy to see it come back, and on a global scale to boot. So basically, you can just skip out on the training and use some other dude's team? Hmmm... Not so sure about this, yeah it's nice that you don't have to train up a team yourself, but I can't help but feel this will cause even more of the same old boring teams showing up online all the time... EDIT: Game Freak just don't learn, do they? Basically, it's bigger than the ORAS demo. So just like ORAS, it's gonna be datamined and everything is going to be spoiled before the game is even out. Guess I'm going on blackout as soon as that demo is out.

Yes, have you seen his outfit? Here, have a hilariously small picture. You look at that cape and tell me he isn't plotting world domination. In fact, I seriously question his champion status. Why wasn't Blue given the role of Champion after Red smegged off?

Personally, the real staying power of Harmoknight comes from trying to get high scores. There's a couple of hidden techniques to maximise your score, such as hitting the percussion targets in the background and charging up your weapon before swinging. It can get really tough there. But apart from that, there's much else to it. Maybe you should just ask me if I enjoyed a game from now on? Save you the trouble if I did.

Yeah, this is always a surprising oversight, you could leave yourself in an unwinnable situation if... - You don't have the Ice Rod - You run out of magic That kind of thing rarely happens in a Zelda game, although Zelda 1 pulls that same stunt with Ganon and the Silver Arrows, an item you could easily miss, given the immense size of that dungeon.

I don't believe for one second that any of the other teams could have pulled off their evil plans without someone eventually going to the Elite 4/Champion of that region and saying "Hey, you're pretty good with Pokemon, you fancy sorting this out?" No-one on those teams were actually good enough in Pokemon Battles to pull it off. Even Giovanni was only good enough to be 8th Gym Leader quality. I think Team Plasma were remarkably close, N did become the Champion after all (Ghetsis had even stronger Pokemon, including a hacked Hydreigon, you don't get more evil than that!), and they actually had Zekrom/Reshiram under control. You know, actually caught, not through some mystical Mcguffin. And considering that N genuinely wanted to liberate Pokemon, he might have actually pulled it off. You know, until Ghetsis blew his top after N lost. His B/W 2 plan is more typical evil team affair though. That was never gonna fly. (He gets bonus points for actually trying to kill the protaganist outright instead of challenging him to a battle first, he learned some things from last time)

To be fair, I completely agree with you, it's just Lttp is set on such a high pedestal, I couldn't resist typing that sentence. Lttp has definitely got some issues that can be annoying. Not to mention that some of the optional items are absolutely worthless. (Honestly, who actually uses the Magic Cape?)

Everyone, please note the emoticon. He's joking! Please don't kill him! Out of the 2D games, Oracles had some of the best items. Especially Seasons, creator of the Roc's Cape, Magic Boomerang and the wonderful Magnetic Gloves!

Definitely Team Plasma. The only team with a plan that could have actually worked. But no matter what, one thing is for certain. Team Aqua has the stupidest plan.

I'm not so sure about that. People would likely complain that the art style looks a bit bland and stagnant.

I kinda like the DS. Nice and snappy to say and doubles as an abbreviation for Dual Screen.

Room's open now for whenever you're ready. Maybe next time we attempt a hyper HR7 monster, we bring some better back-up than some non-RedShell kitties? Sound like a plan? Despite that, it was a great night! Hopefully next time, we can get Hyper Astalos and Hyper Gammoth stuff to help us take more hits.

@RedShell, about Dragon Driftway. Not even remotely sorry. I don't know what it is about SNES Rainbow Road, but I always do so well on 200cc compared to 150cc. Maybe it's the bike I use, but I take ridiculous lines and it almost always works out. I manage to actually look professional there.

I do not appreciate being labelled as stubborn. So nyeh! I choose Random because some of you lot are so predictable with your choices. What's that? Someone chose Royal Raceway? Why am I not surprised?

OK then, well after Mario Kart then? It'll probably be just me though.

I understand you're back at work now, @S\.C\.G, so I'm just gonna ask if you'll be available from now until Saturday.
