Well, this is a good way to handle this. Removing "Nobunaga's Ambition" from the name of the game greatly increases its appeal to kids over here, since they have no idea what Nobunaga's Ambition is (Well, except for that rare kid with awesome parents). I'll be picking this up eventually. "When"...

Well, the official English announcement does say "Coming soon", and the release date listed on the site isn't "TBA" but also "Coming soon". I'd say we're definitely getting it this summer, even if it's not an international release, and that they're giving it to us earlier than usual so that it...

A much more likely reason is due to the Vita, actually. Nintendo wants to go as long as possible without dropping the price of the 3DS. So, they needed a different answer to the Vita. This is their answer. This will greatly strengthen their line-up; parents recognize Pokemon, Mario, and now...

Well, uh... at least you don't have to worry about a Tirtouga/Archen start? >.> But really, only 7 to look through? You basically need to draw through your deck, and then have cards like Pokemon Communication to put any drawn Revived Pokemon back into your deck, and *then* use the fossil...

First try, I collected all of the orbs. This meant I got all of the undesirable power-ups. This made the game difficult. Therefore, I failed miserably. Second try, I decided to not get the negative power-ups and the orbs I did not want. Only went for Espeon orbs and good power-up orbs. Beat it...

Ash is going to be 10 forever. Kids aren't going to know or care about minor details from years ago that suggest that Ash should be older. That said, I'm very glad that the flash game has a wide range of ages represented. This way no particular age group will feel alienated except for the...

1. It's Whitelea 2. It's an old variation of Whitley (pronounced "Whi-te-ly", like how you would pronounce "Whitley" but with an extra vowel in there). It means "White Meadow." Likewise, Blair is a unisex name that means "Field/Plain (the noun, not the adjective)". And yes, Whitelea is an...

$30 for the full Collector's Edition, and then another $20 for Volume 2 (guide says "volume 1" on it)? Hurray!

Good thing I got a Gengar Prime out of my Christmas booster pack!

At least "Throh" and "Sawk" have different spellings from the actual words. The Japanese have even worse names. Ex. "Hog that watches/sees." That is a literal reading/translation of Miruhoggu. It's not even a pun, it's a freaking clause. And Throh and Sawk fit them perfectly; Throh looks like...

"Older audience" for a franchise aimed at Elementary kids ATM = "Middle Schoolers". Makes the most sense; that's the age when quite a few kids quit Pokemon. There's no need for Nintendo to aim at the 15+ crowd; lots of them play but don't tell anybody about it (because there's no reason to say...

RE: Avatars and Art v.2. Read the rules. Bachuru, Waruvial, Burungel added. I'll use the Waruvial avatar on osu, thanks! It's an awesome piece of art, you're an excellent artist.

These are much better than some of the Japanese names (if you knew how bad some of them actually are... *shivers), and I like these a lot. :) Also, you are allowed to not like the names, and we are allowed to say that we think you're just being stupid. Goes both ways.

@Mizublue: The MoA one is the one I'd be going, too! HURRAY! I'm tempted to go the day the games come out; should be able to find other people playing them and maybe get some early trades done. I think I'll see if I can get some of my Pokemon-playing friends to come with, too. The MOA's...

If it's less than a week difference then it counts as a simultaneous release due to cultural differences. It's a great change in policy for you guys, though. Though, please stop going "IN YOUR FACE AMERICA". You're wrecking America's perception of Europe when you do that. XD
