Personally I don't think so, but then I don't really concern myself with what constitutes cheating and what doesn't: I play in whatever way is most enjoyable for me, and that does not always coincide with the way the developer intended. It might be their vision that made the game, but it's my...

It was either Super Mario Land or Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan. I received an original Gameboy for my eighth or ninth birthday and it came with those two games, I'm not sure which one I booted up first. Knowing me, probably the the latter, I was massively into the Turtles...

My top ten on Switch are as follows: 1. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (700 hours or more...welp) 2. Monster Hunter Rise (350 hours) 3. Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition (200 hours) 4. Dragon Quest Builders 2 (150 hours) 5. Persona 5 Royal (95 hours) 6. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (90 hours)...

I just pick the most aesthetically pleasing outfit, but I'm not particularly invested in it because it's so unbelievably...threadbare. I was never expecting character customisation on the same level as some other RPGs I could name, but I was hoping for at least a consistent standard after the...

I try not to have type overlap on my teams, if only because years of training/punishment from other, more difficult/nuanced RPGs have taught me the value of variety and not having a party filled with damage dealers and not a single healer, haha. But more recently I've been going by aesthetic...

One thing I remember noticing immediately when Gold/Silver came out was the blue EXP bar below the health bar. I've always loved that feature, as it cuts down on time spent constantly checking menus. It gives you a nice sense of progression if you're grinding for levels and, even if you have to...

Just the one playthrough of Violet, for the moment. I have a copy of Scarlet which I intend to play a little later on this year at some point - probably around the time the DLC I don't intend to buy but probably will is due out - but I was very lukewarm on the games and there is a lot coming out...

To be somewhat fair, the Switch is now over six years old, and whilst there was better hardware out there even when it was released, there's been a bit of an explosion in the handheld gaming market recently - due in no small part to the success of the Switch - with devices like the Steam Deck...

Charmander in Red, and oh boy, THAT was a mistake. I had no idea how to play an RPG at the time, I just wanted the awesome red dragon that was on the cartridge, the title screen, and the box. Brock and Misty absolutely destroyed me for my innocent, very poor choice. I cried a lot.

Maybe its a bit of a "genwunner" sort of answer, but Blue. He's the original arsehole, the no-frills rival who shows up infrequently to test your skill, and is always one step ahead of you, aspiring you to do better just in case he pops up. The first time I played Red, every time he appeared I...

Quite a few spring to mind for me immediately: - Supernatural definitely has this in places - season seven in particular was absolutely *dreadful*, the Leviathans added nothing to the plot and it felt like the worst kind of anime filler arc. I suppose it was inevitable that such a long-running...

6/10. Gastrodon is...an OK design, I think. I feel like they could have done more to differentiate the two variants, but it's not terrible. Cynthia has one too, which is an immediate plus in my books! Silvally?

71 I ended up with this...it's fairly accurate. I actually really like Natu as well, so I'm satisfied!

Well, a lot of the greatest scientific discoveries were made entirely by accident or whilst looking for something else, so I'd say accidental discovery and/or a slow process of trial and error probably explains the majority of artificially-created Pokemon. I have to wonder how Team Plasma...

Do I dare to try and compile a VPP living dex? Why yes, I think I shall. Name: Lunastra Pokémon: Bulbasaur Fully Evolving: Staying at Bulbasaur Post Count: 11 Northern or Southern Hemisphere: Northern Own a Rainbow Stone: No Would prefer no shiny roll, please - a shiny living dex is a little...
