 What do you think of this movie I love it, one of the funniest I've ever seen. It got me saying 'bisgetti' a lot.

> one time use TMs
underrated feature tbh
i understand that unlimited TMs is great and useful and all, but one-time use forces you to make a commitment, which makes things more interesting imo, especially in a nuzlocke
The question is, who do you give Earthquake/Ice Beam to?

Worst Pokemon game ever 0/10
I'm trying to avoid judging it compared to things that were added later. I think it's unfair.

Playing Yellow. I accidentally deleted my Pikachu's Thundershock. I was going to reset but that would put me back about 2 hours so fuck it. I'll power through.
why would it matter, you'll get thunderbolt soon enough
Because Slam is a terrible move and being stuck with it for 10 levels isn't fun

Well I just found out that Gen 1 has no move deleter. That inspired me to add another con.

Do you think the DCEU would have been established way before now?
They tried to set it up with Green Lantern and that failed so they tried again a few years later with Man of Steel, at this point they seemed pretty desperate while trying to keep up with Marvel.
So do you think if Nolan's Batman wasn't standalone OR didn't exist, would they have made a different Batman movie to kick off a movie universe?

Stephen Lang
Yeah. People have been gunning for him to get Cable but I'm okay with this too. Either one works fine.
He can be both
>DC
>Marvel
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
Nah, if he tried to play more than one character in a given universe it would be p shit.
I know that
But I honestly will be very surprised if Stephan Lang could make a deal with both DC and Marvel to play two large characters.
GL was kinda shit but Ryan Reynolds did it.

I promise I will watch these replays in a bit
Why did the Mega Blaziken EX card have to be in an expensive promo pack? It's the card I most want yet it's really hard to get.
Does anyone have the Mega EX card, or a regular Blaziken EX?

I don't think you can judge or compare spinoffs to the games of the main series if the gameplay is completely different. The whole point of a spinoff is to provide a different take on the series, so if you complain that say... Metal Gear Rising is a terrible MG game because the stealth was shitty and the story was naff then you're just wasting your breath because it's a spinoff and isn't supposed to be like the main series.
On the case of Ranger being a good Pokemon game I must ask, what exactly makes a good Pokemon game?
Well, like I said, I don't really think in these terms too often, so I probably wouldn't have the best answer--but in general, I'd say a good Pokémon game is (basically) one that captures the essence of Pokémon.
The essence of Pokémon being a childlike sense of wonder, adventure, discovery, friendship, and a lighthearted goofball sense of humor--let's call it the "the Poké-feel."
That's a very vague answer, but as of 2016, Pokémon spin-offs have pretty much spanned every genre imaginable--and I'd say if any one of those games--be it Pokémon Red, Snap, Channel, Ranger, or Conquest--if any of those games are devoid of "the Poké-feel," then it's probably not a good Pokémon game.
Pokémon Death Metal Gorefest, featuring music composed by Cannibal Corpse and gameplay that has you running a Pokémon slaughterhouse in a North Korean death camp, probably wouldn't be a good Pokémon game. Because the essence of Pokémon... isn't there. You dig?
I've only played Mystery Dungeon and Ranger, and I'd say they capture the feel well. MD, especially. What if it's a good game in it's own right, but it's totally unlike the feel of the other Pokemon games? I mean, if they actually made a more mature-oriented Pokemon game with darker themes and a hard-hitting story that was actually really good (not like Mystery Dungeon) would it still be a good Pokemon game?

i'd probably give Gen 3 a 7/10 at least, but i definitely agree that it's a good average to weigh the other games with
it's also the perfect nuzlocking generation
I had to give it a -1 to counteract my personal bias. I've put over 400 hours into the Gen III games (RSE and FRLG); the runner up is closer to 70 hours. I love Gen III, but that's because it's the Gen that I've spent the most time playing. Can't let that affect the score.
Yeah, that's fair enough. There were a couple of questionable design choices in Gen III, which mostly have to do with Game Freak's habit of taking two steps forward, and one step back with new generations. They took away the day/night mechanic--which was just stupid--and they introduced a lot of interesting mechanics that, while aren't necessarily bad (especially for the casual player), caused endless frustrations for the more hardcore competitive player, like natures, the EV/IV system, and the proliferation of event Pokémon--which are a pain in the ass no matter what kind of player you are.
Despite that, though, I dunno about you, but I'd still probably put Gen III in my top 3 generations, because the number of improvements vastly outweigh the missteps.
You gave me an idea for another thread, actually, because this tends to come up a lot: "Eh, Pokémon Ranger is a good game, but it's not a good Pokémon game," or "Fallout 4 is okay, but it's a terrible Fallout game."
Is it better to rate games as standalone pieces, or as a part of a franchise? Obviously, acknowledging both sides is probably the way to go, but if you had to pick one side, which would be better? Personally, I pretty much always prefer to rate games as standalone pieces. I can acknowledge its quality in relation to other games in the series, but... is that always important?

I was about to give my thoughts on Gen 3 but then thought I'd just save it for the review

10/10 would sip+recommend.
If you can find it in a shop I highly recommend it. It's like regular tea but with a slight hint of orange, it really adds to the flavor.
