Glen-i

Yep. I'm gonna keep posting stuff here. Even if it is just me. Using the smudge stick to give a more softer shading style, despite using markers. But I also used the spraypaint to intensify highlights a little. I've done all the lessons and quick sketches now. I suppose I might as well show how my attempts came out. (I suppose there's spoilers about which Pokemon you end up drawing) http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/223/d/d/every_bloody_pokemon_art_academy_lesson_by_glen_i-d7ur3dy.jpg

It's just one of those Pokemon mysteries that will never get solved. You know, like what does a Cubone look like under the skull? Why can't Nidoqueen breed? How the hell could people possibly think that Fennekin is the coolest X and Y starter?

OH MY DAZE! He actually got hit once! *Ahem* Anyway... It might just be me, but I can't help but feel that the wallmaster was the coolest thing about that vid. You know, nostalgia and all that.

You're assuming stamina mode is making a comeback... I'm suddenly very worried about Coin matches...

Surely, at this point, it's more Shellder then Slowpoke? Also, let's not get distracted from the fact that we finally have a Gen 5 Mega Pokemon. It really bugged me that none of them got one in X and Y.

Great, now I won't be satisfied until I see every Smash character in wool form. It would be epic adorbs!

Just found out. Well, this sucks massively... He was a fantastic actor. First Rik Mayall, now this. R.I.P

Fine, I'll explain what I like and don't like out of all that. DLC tracks are always a good thing, provided they're made after the game is released. Proper Battle Mode courses are also fine, you know... If I actually cared about Battle Mode. Mario Kart DS still has the best Battle Mode. Stars are a bit underwhelming, I give you that. Mushrooms, however, are just fine as they are. It's knowing when to save them for shortcuts. Not how fast they go. If the coin item gets removed, it'll become far too easy for one person to cruise out in first and stay there. Then we'll have the same problem that Wii had. Do you REALLY want that? Yes, it is totally unfair when someone in 8th or so gets it, but the guy in 1st is getting it more often then you are. The coin is a lot more elegant than most people give it credit for. And also, if you're not trying to collect 10 coins in every race, then you underestimate how much of a difference coins make. The coin is the single best change to Mario Kart. Along with the one item limit.

It's nice that there's an on-screen map option. I still think it's a non-issue, though. Every league night, I play on the gamepad screen with a Wii Wheel and I cope just fine. Not gonna turn it on and clutter my screen with something I don't need. The stat screen and Menu order is very welcome though!

You don't need to get the limited version to play as Ganondorf, in fact just registering the normal game on Club Nintendo will get you it.

I really doubt the 2D Zeldas are going to get anything more than a few little nods in this. OoT, TP and SS are most certainly the focus here.

I can definitely say this was the reason I never got the WiiU version. Despite enjoying the 3DS game immensely.

Well then, get the DLC that gives him the OoT look. Problem solved! At least you have a choice with how he looks.

Can't a guy grow out some hair without being questioned? I happen to like the new do.

The thought of a Canvus Curse game without a stylus is utterly horrifying!

So there is an option to use the over the shoulder view? Because that would actually get me interested.

Can I aim in first person? You know, like in Revelations? If not, I don't care one bit. Retro Resi controls are always such a massive deal breaker for me. (In fact, even if I can aim in First person, I still probably won't care. Revelations viewpoint is the only way I can cope with it.)

Those characters are all decent choices. But none of them hold a candle to this guy! You look me in the eye and tell me he wouldn't be loads of fun to play as!

I'd just like to point out New Super Luigi U is way better! That game makes NSMBU look like an utter joke.

I am digging Ganondorf's new look! Shame there's no Wind Waker costume, but I'm happy with "I'm too evil for haircuts" Ganondorf. Taking that screenshot showing the character select screen a while back, those last 3 characters make up the rest of the cast? Because that's 14 now. And so goes my hopes for Ricky... The cast selection is still fantastic, even if it focuses on the 3D Zeldas.

Urgh... No. Not even Nintendo could get me into liking mobile gaming. Pokemon Dash? You had to bring Pokemon Dash into this? I... hate... POKEMON DASH! ARGH!

Yep, me again! This time with something not Pokemon related. Don't ask why I wanted to draw Frog from Chrono Trigger. Inspiration just struck. He's always been my favourite character from that game. (And not just because of what his actual name is...) I'm particularly proud of the highlighting in this picture. Took a while, but it was totally worth it!

If the 3D is as good as VVVVVV and Cave Story's, it'd totally be a game changer for me!

And here I was thinking Hyper beam was broken... Seriously? 140 damage AND it removes an energy!? I know it's been said before... But how is that even legal!?

Then... don't play it on a Wii Remote? I'm sorry, why is this an issue?
