wth? where's the periods?

any ways using the wii as a storage space is kinda a bad idea. You would run out of Wii memory space REAL quick. i would rather just get a used diamond or Pearl Game as storage if i had a spare DS.

well I only got it for the storage and mew, but ohter than that the "game" is useless.

and when you get it, like in Brawl, it sets aside a certain area of your wii memory so it isn't a Completewaste of memory

If your really that worried about storage space then get an sd card or something. Also mario kart channel and wii fit channel take up too much space for shortcuts so you can save memory by not being too lazy to start up the game and selecting the channel from the disc. So I need no complaints about memory.

How many sentences was that? Two?
Sort of. The second "sentence" had no punctuation at the end, so...whatever you want to call it.

This is why more than "geeks and otaku" need to worry about memory. You cannot run anything off of the SD card (aside from stages, replays, and screenshots from Brawl and possibly stuff like that in other games--I don't know of any, but there may be others) so getting an SD card solves nothing. Plus, 90% of data can't even go onto the SD Card because they won't let you, so it REALLY solves nothing. It's a serious issue, having two channels able to be run by the game solves absolutely NOTHING. Get enough data on there, VC games, Channels, or saved data, and you're screwed. They have a USB port, USE IT.
I suppose you get some credit for having sentences here. But ugly "your/you're" confusion in that first sentence...

Pokemon Ranch is basically a 10 dollar Mew.
Agreed. The only thing Pokemon Ranch is of any use is to get a Mew that you would otherwise have to hack to get. Now if they can just do it with all the other big legendaries that aren't normally capturable, and then we would be set.

If it's an obvious question, why ask it?

Yeah, Ranch, once you fill it up with about 1000+ pokemon, gives you Mew as a reward.

Yeah, pretty much.

Which brings a big question up; why is Pokemon Ranch 1000 Wii Points while many other WiiWare titles (all of which most likely have more substance) are cheaper? I mean, at 1000 Wii Points I may not even buy it. If it were 500, I'd be much more likely to give in, because there are arguably a few other uses so I can debate that it's worth 5 dollars for a Mew and some storage, and an entertaining thing to watch when you're bored. For 1000 Wii Points the little stuff can't fill in the stuff that the Mew doesn't. And I don't intend to pay money for an Event Pokemon unless it's a small amount, because it's not even real.
Then again, you're paying for most event Pokemon anyways, whether or not you realize it. Just the cost of gas racks up quickly, and if you have to go a fair distance to get the Pokemon...

Yeah, if they had added Celebi or any other Event Pokemon (or maybe a Flying Pikachu since that can't be imported from 3rd gen) at all, or some of the minigames PBR lacked, or even a way to play Diamond/Pearl on the TV (It is definitely be possible; think about it, Wiimote + Nunchuk scheme, press buttons for the buttons and use the motion sensor to touch the touch screen (on the TV). It could be done, and it took me no more than 2 minutes to come up with that, so it can't be like they couldn't think of that.) Pretty much any features that add more than a bunch of useless Pokemon and storage for a single game (you can't even mass transport from one game to another, like if you wanted all of your Diamond Pokemon on Platinum when it comes out like my friend wanted to do with Pokemon Ranch), plus a Mew. The Pokemon you get aren't even that great, other than Mew.

I wouldn't give money to Nintendo at the moment anyways, since I'm not happy with the way they're going, but I don't think I'd buy the game anyways.

Ok lets break it down: in Diamond or Pearl you get enough room to store 593 Pokemon and there are 493 Pokemon in the game, but for extra features such as breeding, super contests, battles, and hunting for rare items, you will need more space and will eventually be forced to release some of your Pokemon. Now Ranch has enough space to store 1000 Pokemon, so you can have up to a total of 1593 Pokemon and combine that with an extra version that will store more Pokemon and add that up with the upcoming Pokemon platinum game, and that is a lot of Pokemon! You also have the opportunity to get a Mew, a Pokemon previously only obtainable in events or cheating (I don’t cheat). Another thing is that I can entertain my annoying sister with it, and all of this could be yours for a mere ten bucks (1000 wii points). So yeah, you should get it.
yeah i tried translating it

Translation:

Hello, fellow patrons of the Pokemon Center. Let me explain this to you. In the games of the Pokemon influence named Diamond and Pearl, you can store at max 593 Pokemon. While there are only 493 Pokemon in the games of Pokemon influence named Diamond and Pearl, breeding, super contests, battles, and hunting for rare items will fill up that space rather quickly. If you happen to require more Pokemon than the alloted 593, you might have to release one of your other Pokemon.

This ranch of the Pokemon persuasion, however, allows you to hold another 1,000 of your Pokemon on the Nintendo Wii. This will allow you to have a maximum of 1,593 Pokemon total. If you happen to have two or both of these games of the Pokemon influence named Diamond and Pearl, that could add up to an even greater amount of Pokemon that you can store. Combine this with the up-and-coming game of the Pokemon persuasion, named Platinum.

Combine all that with the chance to get the previously event only Pokemon named Mew (the only other way that it was obtainable was to cheat, and that I do not do) and the ability to accommodate my annoying younger female simbling, you've got a worthwhile game that will only cost you 10 American dollars (1,000 Wii Points). The purpose of this thread was for me to explain that you should, indeed, get it.

Haha, nice translation, Skyler. You turned the most unintelligable post into a very easily read post.
