With pokemon only the original 150 matter. Who can forget such classics as Moltres

I always preferred Charmander:

Goddamnit every time pokemon come up I have to fight the urge to download an emulator and start playing again. I was doing pretty good this time but man I love Charmander.

McTaggart · « **Reply #52 on:** 30 Mar 2010, 10:35 »

Slick if you do it get the emerald 386 hacked rom. That way you can get all the pokemon from generations one to three (all 386 of them) without all the tedium.

Also Blue Kitty and Darryl, I hate you guys so much.

They were pointing out the similarities between Digimon and Pokémon, I think.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #57 on:** 30 Mar 2010, 14:23 »

It took a bit of self restraint to not point out that they were digimon, I'm not gonna lie.

I remember watching cartoons as a kid and thinking Digimon was way more personal feeling to me that Pokemon ever could be, because you got one digimon, a counterpart to yourself, as opposed to trying to catch 150 of them or some bullshit. Then the second season came out and I thought "well this is shit" and went on to the next show, Big bad Beetle Borgs, which in turn was a ripoff of Power Rangers.

Yeah, those are the only two from both series that look even remotely alike, but only because they are orange dino-like creatures. I mean, I watched both series for a while and enjoyed both, but really, they aren't that similar other than there are kids that have pet-like critters that fight other critters.

FIXDIX · « **Reply #69 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 01:45 »

I remember when I was 10 I read an article on a pokemon site about how a teenage girl lured a 10 or something year old boy, using a pokemon card, and then performed sexual acts on him.

Being 10 all I knew from that article is that a kid my age had some form of sexual relation with an older girl, which I thought was rad.

Not so much now though.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #70 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 02:04 »

Pretty sure that kid probably thought it was rad too.

These two posts perfectly encapsulate my feelings on the Pokemon vs. Digimon debate. However, my love for Digimon was restricted to the TV series whereas with Pokemon, I played the card and video games excessively.

I've never heard of Dino-riders before but that picture is not uncool at all, it is the most amazing thing ever and I'm so disappointed in everyone that this show is not a number 1 hit everywhere.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #73 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 05:04 »

I've seen that show. It was ... okay. At best.

Inlander · « **Reply #74 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 06:15 »

Should've had Elodie Bouchez in it.

It would've been a show about a dinosaur running away from home and finding that life on the streets of Lyon is pretty tough, but that the little moments of happiness in everyday life and occasional moments of kindness from strangers can help to temporarily keep the despair at bay. It would've been beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. There might've been a sexually ambiguous dinosaur from Algeria or Senegal in it.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #75 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 06:23 »

Apparently a book about "Murder, Deceit, and the Best Interspecies Sex Ever"

(this is the next on my to-read list)

Inlander · « **Reply #76 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 06:55 »

Yes but is it French? It is very important that it be French.

I mean imagine a Ken Loach film but it's sexy and existential because everybody in it is French. This is what I'm saying.

This. And going to PAX made me want to buy a DS just so I could get the new Gold or Silver. I was a huge fan of Blue and Red and testing out the new ones this weekend brought back fun memories.

Yeah that's right, they turn from robots into shitting rocks. And no, the reasoning why this variant on the Transformers theme was supposed to be awesome was never explained (except Nuggit being played by Roddy McDowall) but this in no way stopped me owning several and the movie.

That's because they didn't make sense. Pokemon spelled out what you had to do pretty well.

And Linds, buy a DS and get the new Pokemon games, they are wonderful.

To make it even better, they had a feature film that was a crossover with severely inferior Transformers competitors Go-Bots.

The Digimon show was much easier to get emotionally invested in because it had conflict and the characters had interesting relationships. Game-wise, of course, it's all about the Pokemon.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #87 on:** 31 Mar 2010, 23:43 »

Actually I think I really liked one of the Digimon world games, mostly because it was a 3D virtual pet. But then Monster Rancher did that way better.

Just as a point of reference, Gobots came first. I remember when Transformers first came out a friend and I having a conversation about how badly they were ripping the Gobots off. Next thing you know... Transformers had total market share. Never quite figured out how that happened since they were essentially the same thing. Better toys, I guess.
