[nsfw] The Pokemon thread

@Apokalypse  
Thanks for the tip.
 
I should have about less than 60 pokemon left until I get my Round Charm :D

@SBF1  
It would be cool if the whole soundtrack was orchestrated.

One thing that continually irks me about Pokemon games is the lack of character customization. i do understand why they don’t have an Pokemon MMORPG is that they don’t have the resource or experience to run a MMO, let alone compete with other big name MMO. Plus they make a TON of profit from people who buy their consoles solely for Pokemon.  
BUT! It wouldn’t hurt that much if they, at least, introduce a character customization option to customize your character appearance to your liking. It has 6 generation already, and they still don’t have that?

Custom trainer avatars, huh?
 
That would be nice, I’d always put a tophat and monocle on my trainer.

@SeraphimDawn  
Indeed.

@SeraphimDawn  
We’ve got the trainer cards with the customizable sayings! You know, as long as its something Nintendo wants you to say…

@SeraphimDawn  
That’s kind of why i like Battle Revolution so much.

@SeraphimDawn  
I mean, the YuGiOh Championship games on the DS allow you to customize your character avatar. It has Multiplayer and over a thousand something different cards with different effects, probably more cards than there are Pokemon, and its a semi-free roaming game. Why can’t Pokemon do it?

@SeraphimDawn  
Could be cause Game Freak doesn’t want to scare off its younger players with something unfamiliar. Pokemon has been Pokemon since its Game Boy days, and they may subscribe to the philosophy “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

@Apokalypse  
From what I’ve heard, most people either want it, don’t care, or a cool with it. I’ve heard no one say, they reject this idea. Maybe a tiny minority who cringe to the idea. Other than that, they’re all cool with it.
 
Its not broken, its not fixing, nor breaking. Its adding and/or improving.

@Apokalypse  
Besides, I’m sure this younger generation should be familiar with character customization considering they’ve most likely played other games such as, WOW, Maplestory, Runescape, and other MMOs that have customizations. It shouldn’t be anything new to them.

@SeraphimDawn  
Good points. It might just be Game Freak not wanting to change, then.

@Apokalypse  
Typical of big Japanese companies…

edit: Missread your post
 
the soundtrack has already gotten awesome

@gg666  
That song doesn’t really strike me as catchy. :/

Music like this is what sets Gen 5 from other Gens.

What other Gens have music as Emotional as this?
 
Most looking forward to Gen 6 music.

Water Stones are such a bitch to gather in Black 2 D:
 
Maybe I should go back to White and gather them from the basement in Chargestone.

@gg666  
Oh no, I don’t mean the OST itself is bad. I mean that the GBA’s sound equipment is bad. The GBA’s infamous for its poor sound due to its speaker and the sound card itself. Very few GBA games were able to make their music sound very good (audio-quality-wise) because of the card.

@SBF1
 
yep, that’s why I said I misread :P

@SBF1  
You want a GBA game with really bad sound?
 
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
 
Now that’s bad.

@SBF1  
No the GBA was awesome it had good games.

The great games on that console trumps it’s bad sound. At times, I think its the sound that give the GBA it’s charm.

@SeraphimDawn  
I blame the subpar chiptune fonts in use.
