First day on lj, and alas, i am pissed at the world in general <ahem, what else is new> and want nothing more than to vent. Death magus yesterday contemplated building a man whore class, which is indeed, quite quite special. Although lately i hath contemplated flipping a general finger to the male race. Ta ta.Post what ever randomness you want on here, btw. Pokemon green..... pokemon green...... pokemon green.... one more week and i get pokemon..... can hardly stay alive til september 9th. Seriously though, i was just discussing with my friend about pokemon, and brought up an excellent point: what will Satoshi Taijiri do once he is done w. pokemon. None of the pokemon games have ever sucked, as Taijiri= God (but, to paraphrase Homer Simpson, only not holy and stuff) when it comes to video game design and the like (say what you will about Medabots, Digimon, other craptastic cashins) but he cant just keep doing Pokemon games. Obviously, he needs ANOTHER genius franchise to fall back on. Another issue: Pokemon battle animation. Obviously, you can't do much on a tiny GBA screen, but what the heck is up with the console versions? If you watch any of the battle sequences in Stadium or Colloseum, they just sit there and attack from afar. Now, im not Prof. Oak (or Ivy, as it were) but if you take two monsters and pit them against each other, they sure as hell arent going to sit there patiently awaiting your command. I don't care if you're a level two zillion trainer with all legendary pokemon, they arent gonna sit there. They certainly dont in the anime, so why do they in the games? Here's my suggestion for future pokemon console games: Give them a nifty, 8 step walk like in Soul Calibur, then offer two modes: League mode, a turn based battle, and Rocket mode, a free for all, fighting game style. That would rock, and since there are only 4 moves per character, there would be no button mashing. Any thoughts, further suggestions, feel free to post.

Ar...does this be the girl who sits next to me in Visual Communications, who is also horribly disallusioned in thinking Pokémon is not a lost cause.

J/K, carry on.

For your information, deathmagus, pokemon is NOT a lost cause. If Pokemon were to be a lost cause, why are they 1)releasing 2 new games in September
2) still making the card game
and
3) Still running the show (albeit wih crappy story/dialogue now)?
Think about it for a while, and i'll get back to you
