Get rid of ROB and put in Mega Man.

Like it should've been the first time.

Throwing my support in for FSA.

Playing in a group was constantly both infuriating and enjoyable at the same time.

Er, the majority of the US still can't get decent broadband. We've had this discussion before.

Fair enough, and I don't really want to get into this debate. What I will say is that I think there is merit to assuming people with the disposable income to purchase a Nintendo DS and Pokemon Black/White probably have access in some form to the internet.

Why are you drawing this unnecessary connection between bonus content and online gameplay? Seeing as all this "extra content" is pre-programmed into the hardware, it should be available to every single person who spent forty dollars on the game -- regardless of multiplayer access.

I'm not drawing any conclusion. Much of the bonus content is relegated to or only accessible through online modes.

Look, I'm not arguing that it wouldn't be great if you could access 100% of the content of the game through single player modes. That'd be great, sure.

What I am saying is that is not how it is, and that fact alone doesn't make the extra content we do have bad.  It's not as though the fact that the internet is needed for some modes is hidden from the consumers. Sure, it's unfortunate for people who don't have access to modern conveniences such as the internet, but that's how it is.

I don't think the amount of online content is unreasonable, and quite frankly I'm not surprised that this is what we're complaining about this week.

Bad. What if someone like N'ungujkibwe from Somalia or ShadowBrain was hoping to get an event Pokemon?

I have a difficult time comprehending this argument. You're suggesting that because some people, a minority of people, don't have access to the internet readily available in their homes that the developers of the game should completely forgo those technologies? Even when it's extra content?

You're making it sound like WiFi is some foreign technology that only the social elite have access to.

Why is it "good" to ostracize certain players from a game's features?

I'm going to flip this on you and ask why it's bad that extra, bonus content is available to those who exercise the multiplayer aspects of the game? You know, an aspect of the game they've been pushing since the series came out.

I'm not even entirely sure what aspects you're even complaining about, but from your social media comment I assume you predominantly mean the Dream World. I know you hate having to do anything in these games to get the rewards, but just because you don't want to doesn't make it bad design.

I'll concede it's bad for people without friends like Turtlekid, but that's more his problem than the game's.

While I haven't played around with Dream World and Extralink at all yet (I'm not even aware that it's accessible currently) but I like that the games are branching out and offering new features that provide a different experience than the mainline game.

What? Why is that even a bad thing?

You guys have such a warped sense of... good that it continues to blow my mind every single time.

For what it's worth, you should actually play the PSX version. An English patch was released a few years ago, which really makes that the best version available to you if you can't read Japanese. (If you could, the PSP version really is the definitive version.)

I bought ToP GBA when it came out, and I can honestly say you've just wasted your money. Easily the absolute worst version of the game, and the english translation is equally as terrible.

Enjoy the section about the "Kangaroo War".  ಠ_ಠ

If it's anything like the game (and of course it will be) it will be amazing. No doubt about that.

And surprise, Mr. Wiggles fawns over a 15 year old!

My parents owned an Atari 2600 that my brother and I used to play with. I can't remember which game I would've played first, but it must have been Pong or Pacman.

Sometime later, I can remember going over to a friend's house, and they had an NES with Super Mario Bros. and some Micky Mouse game. I distinctly remember ditching them to continue playing Mario while they went outside to ride bikes or something.

After that, we obtained an old Macintosh computer, and with that came Oregon Trail, some Olympics game, and Mixed Up Mother Goose. I can't believe someone else here has played it. I can remember getting to Humpty Dumpty outside of the Castle and watching him fall to his death. Traumatizing.
