Is being forced to drive around slowly playing Pokemon Go with your parents cosmic revenge for forcing them to take you to Pokemon: The First Movie?

Only if you're the one driving.

 

[Altairre]

SW Rebels isn't terrible, but it's not great.

It's no Clone Wars, that's for sure.

Depends on if you still have your Ancient Mew card.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I know I do.

(That was from the second movie)

 

[Tubobutts]

Are you telling me I saw at least two Pokemon movies in theatres? Gross.

I don't remember the second movie at all.

 

[Data West]

so is GTA IV

nah the internet and gaf hyperbole blowack is a million times worse than the high reviews it got.

it's underrated now

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Yo, that first Pokemon movie was great. It should have won all the Oscars. Remember when Ash turned to stone and then everybody cried and their tears brought him back to life? Fuck off Citizen Kane, THAT'S how you make a movie

 

[Jintor]

Really? Uhm...I guess I disagree

Like, sure, the animation facial style in particular is kinda eh, but the direction (from the trailer) seems fine and it doesn't look like there's anything egregiously wrong with the writing as far as I can tell

It had some creepy collector dude who had a giant air fortress and was capturing the three elemental legendary birds, potentially causing the end of the world, just to summon one more thing to capture. Again, potentially causing the end the world through wild climate change.

Third movie was even stupider though. Little girl is sad and somehow taps into reality warping Pokemon, stealing Ash's mom because her mom disappeared.

Genuine gut retching moment to watch Pikachu trying to zap him back to life and then crying.

 

[Johndoey]

The Unown patterned on to a girl and that girl body jacked Ash's mom.

Eventually it was explained to her kidnapping is wrong.

i'm sad i missed the twitch pokemon movie marathon

 

[Data West]

Rage of the Dragons is a dope fighting game and it needs science applied to it

It is better than that dumb high school game they played last time./

Beyond those three there's not much worth writing about. I think almost all of them follow the same pattern; either two Legendary Pokemon are warring with some human interference trying to control their power, or there's a sweet looking Legendary (Jirachi, Manaphy, etc) that is being chased by the bad guys for ultimate power. They were straight to DVD for a reason.

There was this sweet corrupted Groudon though, and the battle scenes are generally pretty cool to watch.

Are you a scientist? If not, I don't think you have to qualifications to say that.


I think I only saw the first two Pokemon movies.

I'm in downtown Riverside tonight and it is thick with PokéGo players here. OMG

 

[santeesioux]

It's no Clone Wars, that's for sure.

Yeah, Rebels is a good show to have on in the background, that's about it.

 

[Johndoey]

Pokemon 4ever was alright.

 

[Megasoum]

Yeah, L.A. Confidential was all right

 

[Johndoey]

They should remake Hill Street Blues with Pokemon.

 

[Salarians]

Arrested Development but it's set in the Pokemon world.

 

[Johndoey]

Pikachu's battery habit got away from her and now she's in deep with the Squirtle mob. Been running master balls out of Johto for the past two years.

There's always money monetizing the teens in the Banana Stand Gym.

My best friend bought red so I blue myself.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Yeah, Rebels is a good show to have on in the background, that's about it.

Though, just like Clone Wars*, the stand-out episodes really stand out. If they could cut the fat and make it a shorter run season, it would be incredible. Both season finales have been great.

*That whole arc where the Clone Trooper discovers the Order 66 implant chip was great.

 

[Jintor]

is there a rec watch list out there for Clone Wars and rebels so i can skip all the shit?

 

[Data West]

As rad as KOF is looking, I don't really have anyone to play it with and I can't imagine it having a ton of single player content. Not compared to what Tekken looks to be having at least

 

[The Dear Leader]

Skip the first season of Clone Wars, then the rest is good.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I think IGN did one for the Clone Wars. Rebels, I don't think so, as it's too new of a show.

Edit- Looks like it was a chronological list and not an essential episode list. Some of the episodes in the series take place prior to the Clone Wars movie. They created a list that allows you to watch in a linear fashion. There appears to be no other list by them.

Edit 2: Maybe this might help? https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/2xbfm9/essential_clone_wars_episodesarcs/

It became comical by the end how many times

A) a fake legendary appeared
B) Ash runs right at a force field or Pokemon and gets blown away
C) The bad guys capture Pokemon, but good guys capture Pokemon too so it has to be EVIL device like a robot or an electric net or something that hurts them instead of a Pokeball

 

[broncobuster]

Has there ever been a Pokemon story about infiltrating Team Rocket?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

wait so Evo is this weekend and

is it true Blanka was raised by eels?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Not for any of the Teams.

On the subject of Giant Bomb content, I haven't watched the Playdate yet but are the humanimals still in the game? Have they been patched out?

 

[funkystudent]

So are they just not doing this weeks Hitman target?


Also I should probably buy that damn expansion pass already before the season is up and they stop doing those things.

according to rorie in gb chat they had recorded a premium video of the hit

Which is weird, because whenever they've done the Elusive Target missions, Brad seems to have failed the mission fairly quickly (especially the one where Dan was out of the office). The length of that video (whenever it comes) will be very interesting. The Elusive Target segments on UPF seem to last up to 10 minutes (and seem to be quicker and quicker each time!). The one he did during the Paris one was the closest he got to completed an Elusive Target mission.

Maybe wait for the disc edition? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZM6GX5I/?tag=neogaf0e-20 It appears it will be $40 at launch in December.

I think it's that doing them on UPF puts a pressure on Brad, not only for the time limit but doing it in front of an audience both digitally and physically.

I imagine if he takes it slow he can do it~

Yeah, I imagine that is quite stressful.

Third movie was even stupider though. Little girl is sad and somehow taps into reality warping Pokemon, stealing Ash's mom because her mom disappeared.

The third film had Papa Entei, though, so it's kind of the best.

Brad taking it slow is his problem. He fucks up way too many opportunities because he's too paranoid. It's why he got busted on the elusive target by the balcony. He had him and then he hesitated then went for it as he was walking out and got busted.

I'm fucking terrible at stealth games and those elusive targets don't take long at all. It's crude how dumb the AI is sometimes. For example, the elusive target and the campaign mission in Hitman. I literally followed behind the bodyguard who was behidn the target. Choked out the bodyguard RIGHT BEHIND HIM and took his disguise and easily killed him.

 

[Jintor]

hitman needs to have dumb ai and to be predictable because a bunch of different systems can interact at the same time and it's important that it act predictably

that said, i haven't really been feeling the elusive targets so much

It feels like every post on Rise of the Tomb Raider's quality is either "it's awful and worse than the previous game" or "it's fantastic and better than UC4".

Unrelated good thing.

I heard the new tomb raider had cards

everyone loves cards

Dangerous Golf is the most I can think of in recent years I've seen Giant Bomb try to like a game because of Criterion.

It just looks bad. It always looks bad. It should be open and shut.

Christ, evo can't end soon enough. No matter how many twitter filters I set up, I still get this bullshit. UUUuuuugh.

maybe just unfollow or mute those people then

cause EVO IS HYPE

UPSETS ALL AROUND

OOOOOOOH FUCK YEAH

we'll bring evo hype here just for you chuckers

I mean, Evo is pretty fucking awesome. I can't wait to hear EVO talk on the bombcast and hopefully the beastcast.
