If you want to wear dresses, we'll still be happy to take your money.

I'm pretty sure there are laws against that kinda thing.

BTW what kinda depraved shiznit are you into, anyway?

[Duke.Togo]

Bil wastes his sports references on it. And trust me, I don't take responsibility for anything those two guys have to say

[Razor Knuckles]

Umm...

At least he embraces it.

A week or two since this episode has aired other Odyssey 2 collectors have emerged out of the woodwork and a boxed system and complete games are now available at a local flea market. Nupoile, what have you done?!

Perhaps it's time to audition some new co-hosts?

There's a fresh crop of O^2 enthusiasts to choose from, you know.

Speaking of which:

Umm...

Hey i got a mention again
Game Gaveling so i got a chance to finally sit down and listen to it.

EDIT

On the old Pokemons you could trade your pokemon from game to game to game if you wanted.
Trading from Red/Yellow/Blue to Gold/Silver/Crystal would cause some pokemon to actually end up holding items which was not something the older games had as a feature.

Not sure what has gone on since the series moved to the DS.

OK, this is interesting. Was there an import feature you would use with multiple Game Boys and the link cable?

you went into a pokemon center and they had a room which was essentially the multiplayer menu, where you could either trade pokemon via link cable, or battle them against your friend's. i think the item thing was just in gold/silver and maybe later games where while doing a normal pokemon trade sometimes a pokemon would be holding an item when you recieved it.

[Duke.Togo]

So would the transferred Pokemon keep their level, or would you just unlock it and have to level it again in the new game?

[techwizard]

it kept it's level, it was a trade of the exact pokemon you had, there weren't any sort of "unlocking" of pokemon . every pokemon could be uniquely named too, and even that was transferred over.

Would keep its level.

As Crabby mentioned the games had(still has?) much more depth than anyone who has not played them would expect.

I get the urge to play through them from time to time but then i think about how many thousands of hours i already put into them and decide against it lol

[RetroRage]

I'm really glad i didn't get into pokemon.  That and WoW

At the height of its popularity, I saw first-hand the damage that Pokemon did to people of all ages.

The selfishness, the anger over not getting a holofoil card in a pack, the downright weirdness of the sizable basement-dwelling-fanboy segment... it was just horrible.

I still have occasional nightmares of those dreadful days.

It's a big reason why I got into gaming; it's helped to deaden the emotional pain of those dark times.

'Course, if you want to experience real emotional damage, try spending an afternoon with several Warhammer 40k enthusiasts as they play a battle out. After doing that, you'll get down on your knees and pray for a nuclear holocaust.

But enough of my rose-colored happy-go-lucky outlook on life. How are you doing?
