Though I'm not THAT excited about it. And I really hope it's released next year and not this year, as I've still got Black 2, the Wii U, Pikmin 3 and NSMB U to get, and I really don't want to miss out on any of them.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933326661552961842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-7034610266107796622012-09-16T17:34:21.598-04:002012-09-16T17:34:21.598-04:00I disagree on that, there's no correlation bet...I disagree on that, there's no correlation between being a DW ability and being a better ability.

You don't often see so much improvement in a single sequel.<br /><br />However, there are still many other games I'm planning to buy and a single summer of work isn't enough for me to afford to get careless with my money. I already wasted some on NSMB 2 like an idiot... I'll buy Pokemon White 2, the 3DS Fire Emblem game that should probably be coming out next year and then I'll start saving for a Wii U and Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate. So there's no room in my planning to try to make up for that bad first impression, sadly. :PThe Seeker of All Formulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388159182582182996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-71165335297741489982012-09-16T14:26:39.268-04:002012-09-16T14:26:39.268-04:00As long as it's something universal, and more ...As long as it's something universal, and more importantly consistent (no unbanning Ho-Oh if it doesn't have Sacred Fire and Regenerator for example) it might not be a bad idea. Then again, multiplying the amount of things on a tier list by 2.5 in one fell swoop when the current amount is almost 700 isn't very appealing, either.Slowflakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090675773915536700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-47463952862084053222012-09-16T14:23:57.593-04:002012-09-16T14:23:57.593-04:00The thing that makes MD2 stand out as such a maste...The thing that makes MD2 stand out as such a masterpiece is that it took many of the things that made the first game tedious, and just threw them out. No more Friend Areas. The ability to enter a dungeon with four Pokémon. The ability to recruit a limitless number of Pokémon on a single runthrough of a dungeon. And so on.Slowflakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090675773915536700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-6904424976510290632012-09-16T11:06:42.546-04:002012-09-16T11:06:42.546-04:00Urgh...

While I did find it enjoyable and addicting, it felt to me like it was even more tedious than the main games. The fact that you absolutely HAVE TO complete most dungeons in one go also bothered me. Since I'm almost as much of a completionist as you are, it often took me way too much time to complete a single dungeon, so my progress was ridiculously slow. I didn't get really far into the main game, but I don't know... I understand why people would like these games and even I don't really think they are bad, but... to me it felt like some kind of element was missing.<br /><br />But maybe it's simply because it was the very first game of this series and that now I would get hooked by one of the more recent entries.The Seeker of All Formulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388159182582182996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-74616272859836560202012-09-16T10:54:12.619-04:002012-09-16T10:54:12.619-04:00I voted for banning Sand Veil and Snow Cloak. I...I voted for banning Sand Veil and Snow Cloak. I'm of the opinion Smogon needs to wise up and start treating ability+species as the subject matter for tiering and bans, not just Pokémon.<br /><br />There's too many anomalies - Speed Boost Blaziken is ridiculously overpowered and belongs in Ubers; Blaze Blaziken is UU-level and outclassed by Infernape. Sand Veil Garchomp is just that bit too haxy to be acceptable in OU; Rough Skin Garchomp is fine. Espeon, Gastrodon and a host of others are notable only for one ability of the two, but the fact tiering is based only on species and not ability means lower tiers miss out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098587142108525189noreply@blogger.com
