Welcome to Gaia! ::

HA! Good one. xd

Most of his height seems to have gone into his eyebrows.

His eyebrows look so fluffy and inviting.

Like I could build a tent in one, and go camping.

Gonna update The Catch tomorrow... ish, perhaps. I'm feeling under the weather, and I told myself that I'm not allowed on the computer until I finish a portfolio piece. :[

Ha ha, nope, it is exactly the same. The image is on the official HG/SS site under the Battle Frontier section, and no one's sure if that was purposeful or if the image is just a place holder; The fandom seems quite divided on the issue (though a lot of the pro-same people seem to believe that "Duh, we get to go to Sinnoh! So of course it's the same!").


But seriously. GameFreak is really setting themselves up with HG/SS. If they don't deliver with the fifth gen, people will lose faith. So I hope they've got some aces up their sleeves.

I actually prefer the DPPt battle system over the Gen 1 - 3 system. It makes things easier for me, at least.

And I agree. I think they should be starting to consider doing a pokemon world. 3nodding But I don't see that happening, and pokemon is somewhat of a MMO (I mean this in a very loose manner). (Btw, do my sentances even sound coherant anymore? I feel like it's one of those things where the sentances make perfect sense in my head alone, and I sound like I am on weed to other people. x_x)

@Melody: It's not the whole island. Just the Battle Frontier. The whole island is called something like Battle Area (or something weird like that). Remember, Sinnoh will not be in these games, so Platinum's Battle Area island thing will not be in these games. It's still uncertain if that will even be HG/SS's Frontier, or if it's just a place holder.


@Pokémon MMORPG: A few years ago, the big-whigs in Nintendo/GameFreak finally answered this, and unfortunately, they said that there would never be an official MMORPG for Pokémon. Their reasoning was that it would most certainly have to be pay-to-play and their target audience (boys ages six to eleven) would be quite incapable of paying the fee.

This might have changed since, though. The Pokémon Company (not to be confused with Pokémon International [aka PUSA]) has started to cater just a teeny bit to the older fans, as evident by the Pokémon 151 shirt line, so maybe they've changed their minds, or will in the future. After all, little boys might be unable to cough up the dough for a monthly fee, but adults can. And there's still a whoooole lot of adult fans.


@Battle Changes: I don't mind the changes the 4th gen brought. The only thing I miss from gens one through three was the ability to KO multiple opponents with a single Surf (due to how a KO'd Pokémon was replaced instantly, instead of at the end of the round). I loved killing two birds with one stone.


@Gen five: Just to throw this out there, but don't expect a handheld game in full 3D. If I remember correctly, Masuda said that this would probably never happen, because the look the handhelds had/have now are kinda like trademarks. I remember him making a post on his blog about how what were technological restrictions back then were now "the rules" today (like, Pokémon only appearing in tall grass, or Trainers challenging you to a battle only when "your eyes meet"). And the 2D sprites were "a rule".

@Frontier: I've still yet to see the changes to Sinnoh in Plat, so that's why I was curious. 3nodding But ugh! DX I'm getting so tempted to buy myself a copy after I buy my friend his bday gift. ;-; Even though the Frontier stuff I never finished in Emerald. [Hey, maybe I can do something with the Shadow Pokemon I'm catching in Colo while I have FR's team kick a** in the Tower and train! >8D]


@MMO: I have not seen this 151 shirt line. 8o *googles them* K, I found a site showcasing four of the shirts, and omfg. Those look bitchin'. Though I don't think adult males will want to wear Hypno's. xDDDD


@Battle changes: But realistically, a trainer wouldn't send out a Pokemon right away while his opponents are attacking. =3 Which I don't mind, because some of the time, I was the one getting the dual KO. xD
I just don't know why they had to change the entire battle segment in contests. But eh, having it different is better than having it the same! ^^

@gen five: Of course not. That's what the home systems are for. xD

Some competitive batt battler I am.

I don't know what the catch is. D;
