Pokémon Community Thread: Gotta Catch 'Em All!
- Thread starter ThatObviousUser
- Start date
Just got reminded of my experience with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Dark. Story was great, and gameplay was enjoyable, but I ended up getting stuck due to having nothing to restore my fatigue after
I wasn't sure if there was something I was doing wrong, but there literally was no way to obtain any items to go further, and there were too many floors to beat it without enough items. After 20 or so attempts, I caved in and used Action Replay and ended up at another point where this occurred and used it again. I think it's the only game I used Action Replay to beat.
Although I tend to not read guides so I sometimes miss out on vital info. Has anyone else experienced that with this game? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?
you get warped where evil Dialga is and attempt to escape.

Any art from Tamaki is good art. I should make a thread about all of the great illustrations he's done over the years.

And there are a lot of centaurs in the first Shining Force, though only one is female. All knights are centaurs. There's also a female centaur in the second game, but she's an archer rather than a knight.

All of Tamaki's girls are cute, and they're everywhere in the first Shining Force and Shining in the Darkness.
But Landstalker's still my favorite work that he participated in. If only he did Pokemon.

We're just patiently waiting on more details from Game Freak at this point, so it's understandable that a few of us might be bored enough to wander in and talk about old SEGA game artwork.

Talking about Pokemon is pretty strange.

Yea we are. I was just kinda confused there, looked kinda girly in the face.

It is usually pretty easy to tell the gender of a Pokemon character.

I think I'm just getting old then...;(
So when is a possible time we might hear any more about B/W2 during E3? Fall can't come soon enough...

Press conference on the 6th.

Shining Force III is the only one I'd recommend, simply because Langrisser and Fire Emblem beat the shit out of the first two Force games. III, however, is a monstrosity in its own league. Definitely recommended.

Hilbert's a contender. Brendan isn't in the same ballpark.

Finally. Finally.
I finally found videos of Bazaru de Gozaru no Game de Gozaru, the first game that Go Ichinose did the music for. Took me a while to locate it, but NicoNico Douga rarely fails on me when it comes to tracking this stuff down. I'm also suspecting that he did music for Pokemon Pinball as well, but no one has the game credits for that game. No one at all!
Which makes me wish that they'd release the B2/W2 Super Complete ASAP, so I can at least know how much music was allocated to him for the third-version games.

Is there any way I can connect online if my router is WPA and I have a DS Lite? Like, can I use my laptop somehow?

See if you can change the security on your router to WEP, if only temporary. I remember I was able to do that whenever I needed to go online with my DS to do a trade or something.

There are too many things connected to the router to risk doing that, and I don't want to have to bother reconfiguring it again if I mess up.

Ash's roster for Gym 8 is Pikachu, Pignite, Leavanny, Unfezant, Palpitoad, and Boldore...all his reserves bar Krokorok, who just got a Gym Battle so it's understandable.
I remember that part, you literally just have to keep running through and level-up, and get lucky with which items you keep when dying.
I bought Sky the other day, and in that version you can play the Special Episodes as the items you get in them are transferable.

Noo0()ooooo. Unfortunately, all that the great LPers on Douga have posted are commentated playthroughs of the game. That's al I found of Gozaru as well, but Gozaru's a much-shorter game and I was able to get to most of the good stuff with ease.
The game itself is a really-interesting puzzle game, where your monkey is essentially a linear-sequence robot that has to be programmed correctly in order to get the best possible results. Also includes awesome early music from Ichinose, CD quality at that.

Whoa. I never expected that avatar to blend in so well. Strange feelings, strange dreams...
Been listening to some more Pokemon Emerald music recently. Do you guys like pyrameeeeeeeeeedsz?

Ahhh. Well from checking online and what I remember, DS Lite can only connect if the security is WEP (This is probably old news to you) sooo...that's the only suggestion I could think of. Or maybe get a DSi or DSXL (Though I'm not sure if Pokemon will still connect via WPA)...yea, sorry I can't be of more help...;(
Truly hardcore.

I always wanted Dodrio mode but I couldn't even obtain Doduo mode, this is like bringing up a repressed memory and i'm sad now.
tiggerkiddo

Had to look up those modes...now I remember hearing about them back then. But wow, that would make those older games a little more playable now. I wish they would let us unlock those modes in the games now that I think about it.
EDIT: Just dawned on me that Pokemon Black/White 2 is a DS game. I don't know why I thought it was a 3DS title...

This will make up for E3, i'm sure.
For reals, I was expecting them to be animated from the get go!

It won't take much to do that unfortunately :|
Nothing will make up for e3. It's best to just deal with it as it's own entity then comparing it with e3.

Not even the Gym Leaders or Elite Four had them in Black and White. :/
Worse, the game tricked you by showing off the cool animations of N, Cheren, and Bianca, and then you get to Cilan, Chilli, or Cress and it's "static sprites, fuck you".

I got Black yesterday. Made it to the first Gym Leader and used Sand Attack 6 times so I could try and level up my Purrloin. His response? Critical hit Bite from Lillipup 4 times in a row, knocking out my team.
