Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

No, that was the Gen 4 reason. In Gen 1, Oak was just going to give it to you anyways.
In Platinum, yes, but in DP you went to a lake to see a Pokemon, and used the starter to defend yourself from Starly.

If you're right, how does "giving it to you anyways" sound better than that?

I'm just saying, no one can really dislike the reason you get your starter because that's how most of the starters are obtained.

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

I'm relieved to find out that Belle actually battles the player at some points. It's still a little disappointing that she seems to be weaker than Cheren, not being entirely level-headed and probably having the starter weak to the player's choice. Cheren, on the other hand, stands a chance to follow Blue's footsteps and become a Champion before the player does. It would be a very nice twisted if Belle got there first despite having a rough start, though...

At this point, the opposite-gender character having a role seems unlikely, but we may be surprised.

If all 5 get a role, I might have to bust heads open. Its not needed, and while the cap trio should be properly featured, it seems unlikely to give you 4 rivals. But hey, the cap trio could be in-game, with her being some rogue fighter of evil who teams up with you.

Or as I said, 3 people going for champion leads to a 3 person battle. Am I the only one who wants it?

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

When N said that he wanted to surprass the Champion, he probably wasn't referring to becoming the Champion himself. Perhaps what he really wants is to humiliate the current Champion (whom we may never see if Cheren or Belle defeats them first).

I find it highly hypocritical of N to be be using Pokémon while preaching for separation. What sort of logic is that?

That'd be cool...but how would the ending work out? How would the Pokemon placements be determined?

EDIT: Unown Lord, it's the same logic used by politicians. XD

You were expecting logic from a Pokemon Villain? They seem to be lacking that.

Team Rocket: Steal Shit

Team Aqua: Flood The Earth

Team Magma: Lower The Oceans

I will use any means necessary for my goal, or in other words, I'm going to be a hypocritical asshole who thinks he's the next Messiah.

18 Pokemon kill em all with the first to lose all 6 out of the battle, and the other 2 fight for the rest of the match. How it would work is a rock paper scissor style thing in the beginning of course.

Well, he's been practicing his Jesus pose.

N seems a lot like Lance from Adventures (aka Special). I hope he's just the villain, and there's no cruddy team.

It wasn't blow up universe, but create an inverse explosion to re-create the universe.

Okay, implode the universe.

N may be the only villain, but I wonder who's going to be the fodder that we trash for Exp.

It's called having flaws. Well developed characters have them. If N will do "anything necessary" to reach his goal, doesn't that mean using pokemon too? It might bother him but he's aiming for the big picture. I love this character development. I'm so glad this game is going to have interesting characters and STORY.

Team Plasma of course. Also looking at the info we got this month, I'm scared with next months. If it has any amount as large as this, with more gameplay additions and story based info, I'm hoping this game does get the treatment it does with a proper praise and 90+ review scores like a proper Nintendo game.

Indeed. We got a lot of new stuff this month, and a lot of it is really surprising, interesting, or plain cool.

This all sounds extremely awesome.

Or what if Belle and Cheren beat you to the Champion, but then N has beat them both and is waiting for you?
