I dunno, each generation has its low points for sure (although I feel they're perhaps lower in the back half than they were in the classic eras), but as far as current gen being poor designed, I think Krookodile, Chandelure, Volcarona, Carracosta, Galvantula, Hydreigon, and Haxorus are all pretty convincing arguments against that sentiment. All top-tier awesome. There are plenty of other merely good designs as well. I didn't like the starters and there are a number of designs I either don't like altogether (Vanillish...) or feel are just uninteresting (Dwebble, Munna, any of the pure-Fightings, the Monkeys), but it's by no means bad....
To this, I have to admit, I agree. Aside for Mienshao, the pure fightings were horrible. Emboar, too. Seriously, another fire-fighting starter? I'd rather Blaziken back. The monkeys, meh. I have no opinion on those.
What the Pokemon games need - more Bug types, and more of every other type than Water. I mean, seriously, Water types annoy me, and not just because I specialize in Fire, (Only reason I'm getting White 2 is for the Ice Dragon with Fire moves) but because the type only has two weaknesses, and is ALWAYS the medium difficulty path as a starter. Fire is either the easy one, or the hard one... (Every gen but II and V opened with a rock gym, making the Fire starter the hardest one to work with, but the choice that would always pay off in the end), Water never seems to break ahead, and Grass is the reverse of Fire, with gens II and V making it the hard path, although the Snivy family is a LOT better than the Tepig line, I have to say. (DW ability FTW!)
What B/W lacked ruined it for me - a proper battle frontier/chance to rematch the gym leaders with a mixed generation team. (Oh, and the lack of the older legendaries aside for event. I have to travel 45 minutes to a Nintendo-operated store, purely to download coz I'm too cheap to upgrade my battered DSi for a 3DS.)

I can sorta rap, and I'm a vocalist. Plus, I can *BARELY* beatbox, as well.

Eh, sure. I'm gonna start recording and mixing as soon as I get a new headset, so sure, I'm prepared for it. Just, try to get some of the big names in on it - a bunch of newbies won't be anything impressive.

Aww....not even one last hurrah? One last track for us to remember you by?
Farewell, and thanks for the almost-decade of songs!

Honestly, I was going to compose a remix for this, with my instruments of choice (acoustic guitar & vocals), only for me to find this, which is basically acoustic. Now what, do I have to do a cover of His World? Coz to be honest, that's tempting (a little too hard for my technical level, but who cares?), this game had a brilliant soundtrack.
Aside for all that, I love this mix. One of the first I found, and the first one that really got me interested in remixing for a site like this. I was about to record an original track (my first ever full composition, so I was looking forward to it) only for my headset to die, which is a shame - I promised myself that track first, and possibly a Sonic Adventure or Sonic '06 remix after that. Oh well, maybe next time.
Just a little note on the lyrics, which most people know already, but I thought I'd have to say it - 'there's a furball with one last chance'? Seriously? Was that the ONLY thing you could have thought of?

I could have sworn there was a flounder that can create an electric current, but I think I'm just imagining. It's not that big of a leap to me anyway to make a ground/electric fish, other than the electric eels, there's catfish, and some rays that can produce a current, and they're mostly fish that tend to like to do things in the mud. (Also knifefish...I'd love to see a pokemon based on a knifefish, those are pretty nifty critters)
This thing kind of looks like stunfisk

You're thinking of an electric ray. Yes, they do exist, so no, it's not just a joke from Gamefreak.

There are two ways to prevent trading over level 100s.
The first way is to lock trading until the main story is competed. You have to use the pokémon you find in the game. Possible variation is you can trade from another BW2 game.
Second (and possibly combine with the first method), allow trading, but only to a certain level. For instance, how about only being able to trade pokémon that are the same level as your highest level? That way, you can't go any level 50s when you only have a level 25. You want that level 50, you better spend some time leveling up.
Just so ideas, but there are ways to prevent leveled-up trades.
Pokemon's always been smart. You can't trade until you get the first badge, and after that, things over a certain level won't always obey unless you have a specific badge. Therefore, if you transfer over level 100s, they won't listen to you until after the eighth gym. Hence why, when it comes out here in Australia, I'm just gonna breed one of every single starter (which I acquired legitimately, through transferring from Gen IV and trades) and trade them over, so they level extremely fast, while White remains my primary 'heavy' game, with my level 100s, until I beat the elite 4 once. I mean, what's the point of going up on the first time with a team of level 100 legendaries?
-
Oooh, tempting...but nah, I probably won't make it - I finish high school October this year.
-
just gonna leave this here...
I wish you didn't. That scarred my good opinion of your song. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT???
-
You know, the opening actually reminds me of the background music from Perion in MapleStory. So, when I had that realization, I nearly jumped from my chair. Epic Sonic mix, but that was NOT quite what I was expecting.
[Edit]: DOH! On double checking, it sounds nothing like Perion's music. But it reminded me so much of Maplestory, but I can't remember where.
-
Now THIS is awesome. Again, like some of the others, I'm not that familiar with the source, but the song came out amazingly...
PR, considering your beautiful tracks, would you be interested in a...challenge? Try the Sonic game ridiculed for it's horrible glitches, but loved for it's music - Sonic '06. I'd love to hear one of the tracks off that in your capable hands, from Crisis City to the title track, His World.
-
I keep trying to download the album with uTorrent, but it keeps glitching on me. I wanna hear it, darn it! I'll keep trying, I guess

To those people who are saying about the 3DS...you do realize that it does play DS games as well as it's own, right? So if the guy doesn't have a DS, then a 3DS might be better for him than buying an old one...I don't know how hardy the 3DS is, but I've snapped the hinges on an original DS, and those were supposed to be indestructable. I've also snapped the hinges on my current DS series unit, a DS lite, which was only supposed to be a temporary replacement as it was, but I've stuck with it...annoyingly.
As for the game...well, it's tempting, but CoroCoro was apparantly hinting at a big 'shocking reveal', (I don't speak or read Japanese, so I don't care about that), so if it isn't this game, which was always going to be revealed at Jump Festa, then it may be the Ruby/Sapphire remake they were hinting at earlier this year...and if that comes out, I'll be able to finish my collection of starter Pokemon...so I'd rather that than this.
-
I used to play this all the time...IDK why I don't any more.
-
You know, I was surprised that there was no Sonic villains on here. I mean, you've got Dr. Eggman, Neo Metal Sonic, Mephiles/Solaris, and Dark Gaia...then again, Eggman is common, the other three, only one game. So...well, I like the album as it is.
-
You know, I was discussing this site with another OCR fan at a Pokemon Trading Card tournament recently when he started playing a Mario remix as theme music for his girlfriend's battle. I pointed out the lack of Pokemon TCG remixes on here, and now look at this! Awesome work, and congrats, dude!
-
i find it strange that this game is 50 dollars in store and 30 dollars on steam
Don't be. Steam doesn't have to put certain things onto their price, such as quite a few taxes. Well, at least, they don't have to here in Australia, so yeah, I'm not surprised that it's cheaper online.

Sonic 06 is a disaster condensed into disc form. However, I would recommend the soundtrack; there's some very nice stuff in there.
No. Crap. Aside for the fact that it was LeeBro's break into the big time world of Sega, it's one of the reasons I still play '06, and one of the reasons I still scratch my head and wonder why there's only one remix on here from the soundtrack. Heck, as soon as I get my mic and keyboard, I might do a Sonic 06 mix...after I do an 80's rock version of Live and Learn. Cover Your Light inspired me.

Halo 1, 2, or reach type armor?
I'm thinking either Reach or Halo 2/3, haven't finalized the decision with the guy building his Caboose armor. The girl gets Reach type, that's for sure.

This show inspired me. I (I honestly can't believe I'm admitting this) actually started to write fanfiction of it. Then I got bored. Then I finished a chapter. Then got bored. Then started watching Season 9 and haven't touched the fanfiction since.
I'm making a full Grif armor. Out of foam. My friend is making himself Caboose...and a female friend of ours wants Donut's armor.
So, yeah, I LOVE THIS SHOW!

You know, I never really sat down and listened to much dubstep. I know people at my school who love it the same way a lot of you love yourselves a McRib, but I don't think it's really rubbed off on me. Then again, I listen to almost anything. In the way of this style of music, the main things I've listened to are (please don't kill/rape me for this) PrototypeRaptor's stuff from here.
I wasn't much of an electronica fan for ages, then I heard Eisenfunk, and suddenly my pop/punk/rock/rnb/everything else -loving brain exploded, and industrial became a style I listen to. I used to hate trance, then I started learning how to dance in my own spastic way, using bits of industrial, break and other modern hip-hop dances, and now I can't get enough. Dubstep, meh, I just haven't listened to much of it. I mean, the WUB-WUB-WUB gets a little much when you have a subwoofer less than thirty centimeters from your right foot, not to mention the habit of mine to turn stuff up when I love it (end result = parents about ready to attack me), means that the good dubstep I've heard is GOOD enough for me to still be interested in listening.

elecamelsheturduckenmouse.
And now stuff it all into a 747, and volia! A mutant turducken!

yeah you put it in a turducken
The mutant turducken from Red vs Blue?

Yes, to get stomach pumped out of your stomach.
Thanks to the McRib, we now have stomachception.
My bad.Let's cover a McRib in Black Pudding and put that inside Haggis.
Do we need to go deeper than that?
No, we don't. If anyone could swallow that without dying, they probably will be up with Chuck Norris as an internet god.

I'm hoping to do a professional music production and performance degree next year, if all goes well with my final year of high school. Who knows, I might have stuff ready for posting LONG before then....(in my damn dreams!)
