A question for those who are enjoying the 60fps1080p on youtube. I use Chrome and everytime I put it on those settings my playback is really slow and laggy. Anyway I can fix this? If I put it to 720p it works okay, but will occasionally get the lag still

I think it depends on the video itself because I once did had the same issues and on most videos, it feels so fluid my eyes are just seeing gorgeousness (no, I'm serious if there's a Paper Mario stage...it would just be too much to take ).

I actually love youtube for doing that. It's so much like seeing the actual game

That sometimes happens to me for some reason.

I got that when the site was laggy.

Basically, it's the /like link of the post. I guess when you press the button, it does that for you, but the true link is a prompt.

So, maybe the site got a bit of a delay or something...

I think it's usually when you try to like a post when the whole page is having some difficulty loading.

So, before it's too late, Happy Birthday Miyamoto.

Anyways, I managed to get some good online matches for the fist time in a while. I won both matches with Mega Man. But I didn't do so good with Mario and Doc. Though it was the first time I ever went online with someone other than Mega Man.

Its Miyamoto's Birthday?
HAPPY B'DAY MR. MIYAMOTO

For the most part, it works ok for me. But the lag is to be expected. It's still new, so it needs the kinks to be worked out. I think it just has to do with how fast your computer is.

For me, best has to be ultimate show (it is mandatory, play it 15 minutes before a direct or a big release and you'll know why).

After bounding trought time...let me tell you that this music was the end of the progression made with the memories and promise...it's so deep what the music is telling it's just so beautiful.

Like, the memories are showing a progressive but slow healing while you at 1, just seems stable, 2 seems quite happy, 3 that happiness is overshadowed by something dark and 4, it's becomming depressing how the happiness is overshadowed.

On promise, you seem to hear the complete healling getting stronger and stronger.

And bounding trough time...it goes bananas.

The reason for that is because it shows how even if something is forgoten trough time, it is not vanished and it just needs special events to light up again.

I just loved so much that I can't help but listen to it when I acomplished something. I still love we believe in you mario more, but this one gets really high respect.

Other than that, the underchomp theme (that earthbound 16 bit reference), floro sapiens cave (just epic for a silly ch), battle time (I hear it for 100 rounds and it's still awesome!), the ch4 overworld theme (so much engaing), underwhere (there's a little part at the end that I love so much), the unused relax theme (don't tell me you're not aware of it because I really wonder why this wasn't in the game...).

TOO MUCH!!!

Which is why I again, think spm is underrated...

How could I forget Bounding Through Time? Yes, BTT is included in that song list. It's great.

I see y'all were bashing the Pokemon anime a few pages back. Imo it should stay the way it is, so that the Adventures manga can stay as a firmly better alternative.

Yes, we were. Because Ash is so lame trying to win and Serena blushing even when Ash loses. It's that good!

Okay.

"PIKACHU USE HEADBUTT!"
You asked for this

 

[Blargg888]

I did played superstar saga...not as much.

I will say that the boss theme, the beach theme and the final boss were "good" and maybe the normal battle, but it's too easy to get used to it and not care.

Other than that...well, there's the underground theme being slightly better than the underground theme I see...

Otherwise, I'm really not impressed. So, I think you'll understand when I say "not sure".

I never played BiS, but if I judge from supersta saga...I really didn't liked it as much...

Don't judge the entire series based on the first game dude.
SS has the weirdest battle system.

Walmart did something STUPID

Walmart is price matching with Amazon during the holiday season

You know the problem with that?

3rd party sellers

People that decide to sell something for a penny but have a $10 shipping and handling fee, specifically

However, Walmart DOESN'T price match including shipping and handling, only the penny

So there was some Pokemon anime talk before, I'd like to quickly say what I think of it.

The Pokemon anime is obviously written for younger audiences and helps to promote the games. But, like what has been said before, there's a lot of shounen cliches. I think they just make Ash "dumb" (like Pokemon level resetting, don't know X Pokemon and checks dex although he's seen the Pokemon in a previous season, etc) for newbies and kids to relate to him.

I prefer the earlier seasons because it seems like there's more witty humour, so it's more bearable for me, and I also like Ash's relationship with Misty. The writing was different back then; it felt like humans and Pokemon co-existed and interacted in the world that we live in. A lot of real life things are referenced, such as real life animals, Japanese text and cultural events, etc. Later on things got changed, and although real life things do pop up (although Japanese text is replaced by a made-up language), it's less common. Now it's more like humans and Pokemon exist in a fantasy world, kinda based on ours. Over the years the anime had different writers, so there may be some inconsistency, especially for Ash's character development.

One thing's for sure though: Ash will probably continue to be a Pokemon Master. If they wanted to end Ash's journey, making him accept the offer of becoming a Frontier Brain would have been a good point in time (though I personally would have ended the anime more early). I personally would have preferred if Ash got replaced every gen by the new protag of whatever game. The problem is when I look at the anime from a story point of view. "Lol what story", you're probably saying. I know the anime's episodic, but just bear with me.

Many episodes have similar premises, almost to the point where it feels frustrating watching the episode for me. At least with a new protag, it will spice things up as the experiences will be different, even if the episode is similar to one in the past. Even for kids I think the anime isn't written the best (I'm trying sooo hard not to **** on it right now). We have other shounen series aimed towards a younger audience that are a lot more interesting to me, like Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh, in regards to character development, plot, and morals learned (and some receive higher ratings than Pokemon in Japan. Like Detective Conan which is another long running anime). Kids are a lot smarter than what people think. Sure, you deal with themes of friendship and caring when watching Pokemon, but sometimes it seems like there's blatantly too much of it, and the anime can expand on so much more.

Or, I would love to see Ash travel with a male protag instead of the girl (just make Ash travel with a female gym leader instead or something). We have all these awesome male protages from the games, but they are not used in the anime (usually in lame movie cameos). Wth? Just make him have a different ambition & personality so he won't clash with Ash, and there ya go. More game advertising.

Of course, if you're completely new to the anime some of these things won't apply to you. But I do still find it poor writing nonetheless (not that it really matters since the anime is still airing). Having the main character be the protag from the games instead of Ash every time would at least relate to the viewers more for those who go into the anime at the current gen. I have no idea if kids really give a **** about what I'm saying on the anime, but I will say this. As a kid some of the most memorable episodes I've seen (this applies to any anime) and like deals with morals learned. This could range from matures topics to things that I could potentially experience in my childhood, such as bullying & loneliness, divorce, finding a way to make new friends, etc. Not saying Pokemon has to go this deep, but there are other things in the world than "yay friendship & hard work = win battles". I think the movies cover a more broader scope and deal with more touching themes such as sacrifices (pokemon sacrifices happens in a few movies).

We got some characters that star in side stories (like Pokemon Origins with Red and that Alain dude in the Mega Evolution stories), so maybe they're trying to test some things out? Who knows.

I said this in the past, but I usually only watch select few episodes and the movies. Heck, I'd do anything for the PokeSpe manga to receive an anime adaptation.

/rant

Also, Advanced Generation Ash is best Ash because we got this:

Awesome risk the writers took! even if it was kinda lame Always love more dark things. Plus I found Ash less annoying in those seasons.


lol so much for quickly saying things. Always wanted to get this off my chest and if you've read all my ****ty writing, you deserve a medal!

Also they are hot (The females)

I guess I haven't told why exactly I didn't like superstar saga, but if you're telling me that everything I listed changes, that might be something to know.

So, overall, the game didn't had that much impact on me. Now, I will admit there's a FEW jokes that I COULD have laugh, but most of them wasn't good tbh. It is trying to be silly, but it's like not hitting the spot I had with erathbound or any Paper Mario game (minus sticker star). That is hard to explain why maybe the jokes were too searched? Also, I didn't find fawfull relevant in any text. I really tried and I didn't. makes me wondering why he's so much quoted (honestly, quotes are underrated in Paper Mario).

So, now the environment, really same feeling. Ok, some names were silly, but that's it. I really felt it wasn't amazing in any way, just neutral. It's like it;s not bad, but failed to be great and just stays on good. Feally hard to explain it's like it was never there, but it should felt present...

The music I already told, only a few somehow did impacted me, but slightly. So much could be done that I wonder why it wasn;t beter overall...

But THE thing that really made me almost go insnae is the freaking L and R button. I really fail to get this weird gameplay. At the beginning, it's not that bad, you press wrongly and it's fixedby 2 presses, not going crazy over that right?

But when it gets into a 4 button switch when you have to carefully choose which one has which modes, which one is in front only to realise that you got the wrong setup?

You have no idea how annoying from a design perspective this induced on me. How was this a good idea? I really think there's something clearly wrong because well, I might admit the sfx for "fire" and "thunder" are funny, BUT NOT WHEN YOU REACH A POINT WHEN YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING THE FREAKING SETUP!!!

I really hated this so much. It's like it got me confused so much time that I really was redoing the same setup because I missed something for times in a row. I think that at this point, you really find the sfx annoying and just makes this experience worse...

In fact, this hurted so much my experience that at one point, I really wasn't even able to TRY to appreciate the game, it was way too much rage inducing I really need answers if I was the only one because gosh, this was one of the weirdest design decision I lived.

As for the battles...nothing but boring. Why? euh...that;s like the pm64 one, but with even less options. I didn't liked the pm64 battle system because the lack of strategy options it gave made some battles not satisfying at all which TTYD fixed so much. Here, you really have the same thing except their tentative of special attacks is just the heck?

I mean ok, I farm an attack and I get its advanced but after that...it's done?

Ok, I really don't get this. Once you're used to the inputs, there you go. At least in TTYD or even pm64, you had the chance to actually miss such as when you tilt the stick (yeah, you can miss that one more easily than you might think). Here, it's just so easy to land them that you end up farming them and it's just boring to do it over and over.

So, overall, I'm not saying it's a bad game, but strange design decision and not being that impressive prevented me from getting the slight, but probably existent appreciation.

I say it's an ok game, but really, for my first experience in the series, I really wonder if I got something wrong or I just plainly shouldn't touch to other games. I did heard praise on that one I think, and after I played, I don't get it...

So, is only superstar saga was like that?

 

[XStarWarriorX]

So just gonna say, sweet sweet canyon and dolphin shoals are the best mk 8 courses, pre-dlc.

also @ praline http://www.eeemo.net/ there's some with red color, but lazy you can search it up.

Also i agree with @ R R0Y Lucina sucks and isnt good at all, not sure why shes such waifu material, frankly most FE:A females were pretty forgettable except for panne, tharja, sully, aversa, tiki, and naga

The rest are plain annoying or tsun material.

edit: now that i caught up

You realize all but one of the female protagonists are 10-ish years old right?

That's in the anime

They aren't 10 in game

At least, some parts of them sure ain't

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Personally, I find all of the male protagonists that aren't Red to be incredibly boring and lame to look at.

Brendan used to be right there with Red until I found out his white hair was actually just a badly designed sock hat.

The girls all have better designs and don't just look like knockoffs of each other, so I can actually consider them characters.

That, and as Psycho said, they're all hot. ¦D

Are you sure? Cuz black and white is the only games in the series noted with the point that you play as a protagonist who is an older teen.
