I use the shield and drop magic. The only spells I use in gameplay 95% of the time are Heal and occasional Gravity/Thunder.

You gave up the shield? You're screwed.

It does not, but that's why we have Boot Camp.

inb4chozoMy personal favorite was some guy ranting for like ten minutes about Pyro being OP... because of the Flare Gun. No, seriously....huh, he just posted on SPUF proper in the "compliment hated items thread" on the same exact subject.

Are those unskippable?

Dibs on Alakazam.Edit: You know how Black/White 2 has the old gens' gym leaders/elites/champions? THEY UPDATED THEIR MUSIC.Kanto Gym. Still as awesome as ever.All five gens of Champions in one large track. The new champion theme sounds terrible, but DAT JOHTO.

Get Ratchet Deadlocked and play it. The Harbinger is my new god.I can't play KH more than once or twice just because of the fucking 9-hour cutscenes. The one before the first solo Ansem fight (which got me killed roughly 37 times before I finally beat it) is literally long enough for me to go to the kitchen and make toast. From scratch.

herp. I used the Dream World my first playthrough before I realized it took all the fun out. Some of those guys are hilariously OP for early game.

Rock Slide (more accurate than Stone Edge and flinch chance)Acrobatics/Aerial Ace/FlyEarthquakeCrunch/U-TurnBam. I practically lived on Smogon for a few months back in the Gen 4 era, so I'm pretty much hardwired to figure this stuff out.Speaking of teams, here's my planned one on Black (currently 3 badges and on stupidly long desert route). Suggestions always welcome.SawsbuckTerrakionGolurkSigilyphGalvantulaJellicentReshiram

The first time I saw Archeops' ability, I assumed it would be terrible. I tried it for kicks in my second playthrough....and then he swept Marshall alone.

I win.

The Room. Seriously, it's the best bad movie ever.

Ooh, ooh! Weird video thread?

Ah, dammit Golurk is taken. I'm named for the anime mecha-pilot, dammit.Can I be Bisharp then?

Your friend is boned.and by that I mean youGoogle "Korra episode [number of episode]" and pray there are no spoilers in the summary. Which there will be.

...this is a kid's show, right?

I'm having more fun with Conquest than I have in a long time with the Pokemon series. Seriously recommended.

What the what?

It's a crossover with a series called Nobunaga's Ambition. It's a turn-based strategy game (not turn-based with one move at a time like in the main series). It's actually really cool, and IGN was kind enough to give it a 9 if that says anything. Oh, and here's the fun: The PC is a warlord. Seriously, you start in control of one castle, and move on to conquer the entirety of the region. Edit: After about an hour of gameplay, this is easily the best spinoff in the franchise's history (Snap excluded). Intelligently done gameplay, a unique concept, and holy balls everyone wears awesome costumes and hats.

Considering the several sequel hooks at the end of Black/White, I'm actually glad they're doing this instead of the (to quote TVTropes) "director's cut third version" that Grey would be.

Just got Conquest in the mail. This game is going to be fun.And Black/White 2 just came out in Japan, and they seem to be pretty interesting.

Well, worth a shot for that price. Thanks.
