Those people represent all that is wrong with gaming. The only thing that can make games like Red and Blue good is nostalgia. Without nostslgia they really suck.

I'd say that's better that than all the "there's only 150 pokémon" people I meet now and then.
I have an irrational hatred of those people that burns hotter than the aftermath of a pyromaniac convention.

Just make sure you don't say that word.

They say that if you say genwunner in a mirror three times Mew will appear under the truck.

If you say it with the lights off then Evil Figment will appear under the truck.

MIZZY! They're...watching. They're always watching. They know what you just did. You best get out of here. Now. Go!

I wouldn't say that. It's not like a bunch of them even cares about video games. I don't see how they can represent anything wrong with gaming when they don't really play video games much, or at least pokémon.

I can think of worse things that's "wrong" with a lot of video games today anyways.

Besides, it's not like we can't judge video games for their time. The only reason I wouldn't play them now is that I find the move-pool horribly shallow (which is hardly surprising, given that we've got five generations with moves to choose from nowadays), which limits the combat. The bag is also sub-par, and the box system, but other than that, not really much. You could say sprites and running shoes. Sprites have some charm (though some look seriously fucked up), and not having the running shoes now feels horribly slow, but I managed fine as a kid, at least until I got the Bicycle and Fly.

Of course, if you don't like Kanto and/or the selection of pokémon there and/or the plot and/or something else, then obviously feel free to disagree. The games haven't aged very good (I'd rather play my FireRed than Blue), but I wouldn't say they suck.

Don't worry, no one's continiously watching me. I don't have an xbox one.
I feel bad for the suckers who plan on getting that.

I was one of them. I caught myself in the Nick of Time... No?

Wii U is the only one I am getting. Xbox One and PS3 are essentially carbon copies of each other.

How so? I don't think the PS3 is a particularly bad console, as much as I hate it.

You caught yourself in me? o_o

It was weird... I can't explain it.
I don't know how I wasn't aware of...this. Whatever "this" even is.

Same. I don't play much games that aren't on nintendo consoles, so buying an xbox one or ps4 would be a waste of my money.

I have a really old xbox that I bought years ago. I mainly bought it for Halo, since I can't play it on PC.

Xbox's were kinda turning to crap anyway. The newer ones overheat way too easily.

(I assume you meant the PS4 here)

Not really. With the Xbox's focus on being more a media center, with three separate OS and what is likely worse hardware [citation needed] and focus on Kinect (lol), I wouldn't say that. I doubt a lot of people were encouraged to buy a Xbox One after the unveiling. I'm curios to see how their prices will end.

I'd say of the two, PS4 is the best bet as of now. Heck, scratch that, unless we get a repeat of 599 US DOLLARS, then PS4 is the best bet of the two. Not that beating the Xbox is something to write home about.

I'm not going to buy any home consoles though. Not my thing. I'm going to build a new computer after summer.

I can't wait to see the new 3D Mario on the E3 direct next week. It'll probably be the main game I'll be buying a WiiU for.
