Damned, don't be a fgt. You went to Kanto in the originals, OF COURSE they're going to be included. It's part of the story. Are you honestly going to complain about having MORE gameplay? WAT Those are golden trees. They're seen in that one screenshot of the cutscene with Ho-oh in it, and in THIS picture:

Here's the full map! You'll notice that they have a cloud covering the area that housed the Battle Tower in Crystal... very conspicuous!

I got Coloris when it was still being offered for free, but you know, I bought it anyway because I liked his stuff that much.

You were clear. I just felt like tossing in my two cents, and I wanted to see if you had anything in mind specifically. That's all. No deeper motive, no accusations.

Simmer down, Mustin. The movie hasn't altered your childhood, the original cartoon or any of the original toys, either. It's just off by itself, being a movie. I gotta admit, I'm looking forward to seeing this. A lot. Sure it's nothing like the original, but I look at it like a remix more than a continuation. More of a Batman Begins than a Batman Beyond, if you catch my drift.

let 'em have their fun

This is just so fantastic. I honestly have grown to love this more over time. Easily in my all-time favorites, and I've never even touched a KH game.

Okay then, my question to you then sir is this: in what way would you have the judges pass judgment/suggestions on to aspiring artists? In other words, if you find fault in the method, how would you improve it? Because if you're not going to offer a solution to your perceived problem then you are simply whining. Personally, I never have nor ever will make it a point to listen to all the music on this site; I got for especially unique mixes, games I like or own and artists I enjoy. So for instance, if a song is posted by a guy I've never heard of for a game I've never played and it has "orchestral" in the writeup I'm not going to think about downloading it. With that said, it should be clear that my "perception" of the "trend" in the site's music is very limited, and thus, perhaps I am not the best to judge such things. I will say this, though: there's still a lot of heart and soul to the old mixes, sure, but the real timeless ones - the ones that seem great despite the sub-par samples (for example) - usually all belong to a select few artists of the time, not the majority. Likewise, the same could be said for the newer mixes, replacing the "samples" with "arrangement," perhaps. Just like in the rest of the music world, everyone is going to prefer certain kinds of music over others for seemingly no reason at all... Between "Death on the Snowfield" and "Wanderer on the Offensive," it's hard for me to say that either is better than the other, since I love them both so much. In the end, if the music on OCR is changing too much, I think the change is due to many, many factors and not just the judging process. I, personally, do not have an issue with such things, since I place the "burden" on the artist himself/herself. I haven't heard the rejected mixes, but I'd wager they're not overdoing things on their end. Right guys? If anything, what I have issue with are site projects. I hesitate to point any fingers, but there have been some album projects that have left me with a bad taste in my mouth on the whole (with a few great tracks), and there have been others that blew me away. It saddens me that sometimes they fall into the former category, because the album projects really are a large tribute to the game itself (and likely won't ever be the subject of another project in the foreseeable future). However, I feel that tightening "quality control" on certain projects would have choked them out by halfway, and it would have only been a select few tracks being released instead of an album's worth. ...when in doubt, I'd rather opt for "more music" than "less music," I suppose. The artists with the skill and drive and self-motivation to make something great will shine through regardless.

when in doubt blame the judges

she is absolutely flabergasting - in a good way. His music always gets me going and puts me in a good mood.

unmod prot sidebar no more unmod diaspora mediocrity but seriously I love you guys ◕◡◕

It's just a movie man. Go in expecting too much and you'll just be disappointed. Just enjoy the ride. Transformers 1 had it's issues (mostly ham acting and a few useless human characters), but I definitely think Optimus Prime's mouth was not chief among them

Hey, It's the party reply! Party's over here! Come on!

Pokemon.jp clearly states that the games are being developed for the DS, not the DSi. http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ds/hgss/ Also, it's come out that they are expanding the old areas a bit this time around, with a new area to the west of the National Park, as well as Cianwood's island being over twice it's old size. There's some other news involving legendary pokemon, but that's not as interesting to me.

First off, that Wiiware game looks to be pretty fun from the videos I've seen. Not sure I'd actually buy it, but if I had an extra $15 I'd get Pokemon Scramble. As for the pedometer, I think we can expect to see it. It's going to be bundles in with the game in Japan, like how FireRed & LeafGreen had the wireless adapter bundled in. We got the wireless adapter, so I don't see why we won't get the pedometer. It sounds like a pretty awesome idea, actually, to take a Pokemon you might not necessarily use until it gains a lot of levels and just walk around all day with it strapped to your ankle. It also gives you items, so I can safely say I'll be wearing mine when I can. Under my pant sleeves, of course.

sure okay

I can't see them making a Zelda that's darker than Twilight Princess. Twilight Princess had some dark shit by Zelda standards. Majora had the doomsday thing going on, yeah, but TP had a lot of creepy moments too. You know, I'd love to see them implement a greater emphasis on tactics in battle. Currently, you lock onto one enemy, kill him, and move on, jumping from foe to foe only against the most aggressive or numerous. Maybe Link will use other weapons besides the swords on occasion, opening up possibilities for better crowd control maneuvers or dual-wielding different items for multitasking mid-battle, etc.

You know what? I think this is a fabulous explanation.

I'm hoping Midna shows up, actually.

you are daft this turned me on immensely

This is pretty much how it works, except Deoxys doesn't rule or create anything, it's just a mutated space virus. Entei can cause volcanoes to erput, Raikou can make and ride on thunderclouds, and Suicune drives the north wind/can purify water. However, they're pretty free-spirited, so they don't seem to have any "greater purpose" behind their abilities. Ho-oh created Entei, Raikou & Suicune out of the remains of 3 random Pokemon that died when Lugia's tower burned down hundreds of years ago. Obviously, it has great powers of regeneration. It seems to pay attention to what Entei, Raikou & Suicune are up to. There's at least one mention of it's ability to see into the future. Lugia had dominion over the birds in the anime, but in the games he's just a crazy powerful dragon beast thing that lives in the deepest, strongest currents of the ocean. Other than your standard psychic Pokemon abilities of telepathy & psychokinesis, he's pretty standard, albiet awesome. Some say he guides the underwater currents and the balance of nature. Regigigas is just an ancient powerhouse, and the other Regis serve as the lock on his seal. Apparently, the early humans feared Regigigas. Any other hints to their deeper purpose has been lost to the ages. The 3 birds can alter the weather & seasons, but they don't purposefully control or make anything. Heatran is a living volcano, more or less, but he didn't make the volcano he was born from. Darkrai & Cresselia have some kind of relationship involving dreams and the moon, but their powers are kinda involuntary. They're just random, rare & powerful. Jirachi can grant wishes and is probably from space. Latios & Latias are just powerful & rare dragons with unique psychic powers. The Unown apparently come from Giratina's world originally, but they somehow end up in our dimention and hang out on the walls in ancient ruins. They seems to have a lot of power in large numbers, but are stupidly weak alone. Manaphy & Phione are just powerful, rare & unique. Manaphy has the ability to swap the hearts & minds of Pokemon & people. Shaymin can cause any plot of earth to erput with plant life, namely flowers. It also likes to fly around from time to time. ...That should cover everyone.

Indeed.

Sorry bro. I'm still gunning for this project! Release is probably a good while off yet, correct? I look forward to it nonetheless. Trust me, if I could make music, I'd be all over this.

It's just you.
