Just got Pokemon X and Y, a whole day early.

To anyone in Canada: pre-order games from Future Shop. Just saying. And wait for big pre-order sales.
Both Pokemon and WWHD I got a day before release, and they took nearly no time to actually get here.

Yeah, the copy of X was for a friend, Y was for me. The game is really good so far, the presentation got a MASSIVE boost.

So...as someone with a shitload of Pokemon games in their backlog (on the GC, DS, GBA, and 3-DS) - who's never played any of them:

Is it still possible for someone just starting the series to (*realistically*) "Catch Em All"?

And, yes - I'm talking/asking about all Pokemons from all gens...is it still even possible -and- how would you go about doing it/ how hard & how much time would it take?

[scott]

Ya it's possible. I've been working on it for a long time. You can transfer pokemon from the GBA games all the way up to the current ones if you follow the correct steps. But it takes a lot of trading from one game to another to do it. Before Black and White came out, I was prolly 30% complete. But I am way behind now. The biggest problem is the special event pokemon, most of them aren't normally obtainable in game.

Yeah, I'd heard about them and they were mainly the ones that I was wondering about.

On topic:

I'm a happy man today 

I'm *Playing* my Disgaea D-2: A Brighter Darkness

-AND-

I'm *Listening* to my NIER Replicant + Gestalt OST's (NO...not at the same time:)

They arrived here so much sooner than I was expecting - seeing as it was shipped from JP -and- only ordered ~a week ago.

They are (read: sound)...I guess...that..."Phenomenal" is close -but- it's (far & away) the very best OST that I've ever heard...and I've heard a ton of 'em.

If you don't buy it -at least- try to listen to it somewhere

Ye

I'm *Listening* to my NIER Replicant + Gestalt OST's (NO...not at the same time:)

Oh man, I LOVE the soundtrack for Nier. I haven't bought them yet, but the music really added to the atmospere of the game. It also helps that the game itself is absolutely fantastic

[scott]

Is Nier good? I've see it in stores and wasn't sure if I would dig it.

[insektmute]

I think it'd be up your alley, Scott. I was a little apprehensive at first, because there was such a jarring difference between what critics and players were saying, but IMO, it's one of the best games this gen. There are some rough aspects, but the story and characters are remarkably well done, particularly the relationship between Nier and his daughter, and my personal favorite, Kaine. Really great replay value, too.

Seriously dude, pick it up as soon as you can.

[scott]

Ah cool. Will do.

[haloofthesun]

Oh yeah, I had meant to pick up Nier at some point but then I forgot all about it.

Picked up some shmups:

SNES
D-Force (not that good but it was $0.50)
Firepower 2000

Sega CD
Lords of Thunder - a game I played when I was a kid and for YEARS I've been trying to remember what it was and what platform it was on. I finally found out and went straight out and bought it. Excellent scrolling shooter.
