20899 was my first trainer ID number. I don't know why I remember it. It seemed significant at the time.
I still sometimes spend up to 30 minutes restarting new games until I get a trainer ID I like. -_-

According to that quiz it's 152.
And I don't believe in penis monsters in my pogeyman games.

anyway I was looking for the vgcw match between ash and gary but apparently it hadn't been posted to youtube yet
and then youtube decided to ignore the "vgcw" in "vgcw ash gary" and show me results for the other two words and now i want to die

91 with about 3-4 pauses to think.
I don't remember my classic team exactly, I was 7 when this game came out so it was probably all legendaries by the end. Even in the new games, I normally assemble a team of from the first 2 gens - Typhlosion, Espion, Haunter, Golduck, Vileplume, Pikachu (or Lugia if a legendary is allowed). I'll concede that the team itself is terrible, but sometime you gotta go with the favorites.
You brought him in and you know it!

Maybe they can outsource it to somewhere that knows and understands what the internet is.
Or wait 14 years until next next next gen when they finally understand.

Yeah people claiming "Missingno" is a missing pokemon better prepare their pluto defense - that is, if you're gonna "count" Missingno then you better count the other glitches.
Stupid pop culture osmosis.

And the MMO idea itself being terrible in the first place. Besides, it's not like they don't outsource spin-off games and even the arena games.

Hah, true. Pokemon isn't a Nintendo-developed franchise.
Of course its not a Pokemon. At least not until they bring out the Pre evolution of Porygon.
Soon.
Soon.

I'm not racist against penis monsters; I just want them to know where they belong and where they don't!

Is there any link for the US one? I wanna bookmark it to watch it in the morning. If I come to GAF looking for it I'll likely see what the reveal was before I get a chance to see the video.

I dont get this. Ater all these years, is there some reason Nintendo doesnt buy TPC? It seems like a big gamble for them to not just make it their own franchise 100%
Oh, oh god I'm bad at gen 5 names. I got 65/156. That's... not good. I even managed to picture Sigilyph in my head early on but had NO idea what it's name was. I'm ashamed.
Also, all that needs to be said about my team in Gen I is that I had an awesome Sandslash that was far more powerful than it should've been. I can only assume that it was in the top percentage of Sandslash.

Because they still have the majority stake, and it's not like Gamefreak is about to run away from their baby/cash cow.
By all accounts, it's a very healthy relationship between the two (three?) companies.
What would they need more than 10 minutes for? It's not going to be a full on blow-out of the game the first time it's shown, most likely just an announcement and a few pics on whatever it is.

Even if they buy TPC, Gamefreak technically still isn't affiliated with it. IIRC Gamefreak isn't fully owned by Nintendo.

They own two-thirds of The Pokemon Company, and this method keeps Game Freak sweet.
Push comes to shove, Nintendo wouldn't allow the series to go elsewhere, but the current setup favours both parties.

Right, but why not buy them. You know, so it's all nder one company and there's nothing to worry about.
They're usually pre-recorded in advance for each region. Iwata will give a little intro and they'll cut to footage.
What is there to worry about now? Gamefreak likes the freedom, TPCi likes the autonomy, Nintendo likes the money.

oh god now I'm listening to another one of those "here's all the Pokemon theme" videos
it's hilarious how utterly shitty they get during Gen IV

There have been 15 theme tunes by this point.
It's not like the original was the best one, in any case.
Hey.

Battle Cry is god-tier.

I think that Game Freak is financially independent from Nintendo...they're just very strong third-party partners (see the term "second-party").

Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So, anyone know a place where the Nintendo Direct will be available for those who missed it live?
I REALLY wanna watch it first on my own, and I won't be able to watch it live...but if I try and browse GAF or Youtube for it, I'll probably end up spoiling. So, is there a link where it will be placed?

This should have a link to the Nintendo Direct without giving anything away, as long as you don't scroll down.
4. Nintendo, The Pokemon Company International, Game Freak, and Creatures are all involved in the franchise. Although I guess TPCi could be seen as technically a Nintendo subsidiary.

Can you please provide examples as to what "something out of a 12-year-old's mind" is and why they're inferior to such """""""""""gems"""""""""" as Muk and Voltorb? I can't really see where you're coming from, especially since some of the new ones are pretty darn "organic" while remaining creative and unique:
Like I said, it all comes down to opinions. Niether one of us are right or wrong in whats better or worse, but I do vastly prefer the older designs.
Of the designs you posted, I only like Dwebble.. In fact, I love that one.. the others sum up my negative feelings- bright, stand out colors and designs that don't mesh with their actual animal they are 'emulating'. I really dislike Scraggy/Scrafty (lol sorry), Haxorus (I like his early evo forms a lot though), and Hydreigon.. I'm not really fond of Zoroark either, though that could be fixed with a more appealing/toned down, less 'cartoon monster' look.
I think this picture sums up what I don't like-
The loud, random, over-designed look as opposed to the simplistic but more charming (IMO) look.Are there more Pokemon redesigned to look like they are from different gens? I only know of this:
Forget salting food with them.
Drink them raw.
This is amazingly adorable.. if the games could ever channel this art I would be in love.
Creatures is also a fully-owned subsidiary of Nintendo.
Nintendo and Creatures both have a 1/3rd stake in TPCi, with Gamefreak holding the remainder, effectively giving Nintendo 66% control.

1. loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
2. The OG theme is like the OG Ninja Turtles theme- everyone under a certain age knows it. It's irreplaceable, yet they constantly replace that shit. What the fuck? At least Born To Be A Winner had the common sense to throw back to the OG theme song, kinda like the current TMNT theme does.

You're definitely going to have to give me some proof for that, because they don't show up anywhere as Nintendo subsidiaries in Nintendo's financial reports.

And what if Pokemon Rainbow was developped by Game Freak and .... RETRO STUDIOS.
Would GAF implode ?
