It costs more and it sold quite a bit more, although neither is an especially huge number. But yeah, that one's got a single game versus this one carrying two of them, but there aren't any major gameplay enhancements on the Vita, and also... Vita.

Haha, well hey, thanks. This is mainly Anagram's ongoing saga, though. He's all the way at Unova! I'm just posting some thoughts as I attempt to follow in his footsteps. His reviews are really, really great if you haven't seen them yet. :D

I find it kinda funny how the announcement highlights the decision as being such an easy one due to the overseas success of Graces f and Abyss 3DS. I mean, funny if the alleged sales numbers are to be believed.

Just finished watching that crazy trifecta of episodes in which Ash obtains Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, back-to-back-to-back. What a ridiculously lucky kid. The announcer even recaps the first two leading into the third, but doesn't make it apparent why he's doing so, in case somehow any kid would have forgotten how Ash cheated his way into bypassing the Pokemon selection process, all on a single route.

The Bulbasaur ep was probably the weakest of the trio, mainly because the other two were surprisingly decent. Brock falls for some girl who at first appears incapable of opening her eyes much, so I thought, "hey, maybe they're perfect for one-another." But then she goes and opens her eyes for the rest of the episode, which inevitably leads to them parting ways. Meanwhile, Team Rocket tries to steal rare Pokemon, and lo and behold, they bump into our heroes. They use vacuum technology in an effort to suck up all of the Pokemon the guest girl is nursing back to health, but Bulbasaur and Ash are immune for plot reasons and Bulbasaur and the girl are so impressed that Ash shoved him through a door that he tags along at the end of the episode. OK, fair enough.

The Charmander episode is actually pretty alright, featuring a really, really weird Aussie accent with the insufferable Damian and the borderline-touching sequence in which Charmander stubbornly remains atop that rock in the rain. It culminates with Air Bud choosing what's-his-face over the abusive middle-aged man, paving the way for potential sequels. I couldn't help but notice how much more into Charmander's health Brock was, though. That's not to say Ash didn't care, but... hot damn, I mean, I really felt like Charmander should have gone to Brock. Then Brock could have had a prepare-your-anus tier Pokemon, too, and Ash might have gotten farther in the Pokemon League. Win-win.

Squirtle's introductory episode was also solid. Ash, Misty and Brock fall into yet another pit, where they're soon greeted by this iconic assortment of memorable Pokemon:



...Man, it's kind of a shame all the Star Trek images will go straight over everyone's heads except for Anagram's. But such is life on Board 8.

Anyway, the Squirtle Squad is pretty badass, with their glasses, and their really rather tasteful graffiti. But the local townsfolk are so up in arms, they're packing guns-oh-my-gobrino-those-are-clearly-guns-why-hello-there-James-that-looks-like-an-AK-47-what-is-this-and-please-dub-the-Dratini-episode-Jesus-Mercy.

The episode's best moment is one of the Pokemon anime's few genuinely surprising little segues, when Ash, exhausted after racing to the quiet town of Colorado Springs, Kanto, just barely reaches the town shop's door only to get cut down when Gary swings it open and walks away. Does this happen often in Kanto and I'm just forgetting it? Because I always felt like Gary was entirely too sparse, but that was awesome.

Team Rocket tries to trick the Squirtle Squad; Team Rocket is defeated; the lead Squirtle runs up and joins Ash; the narrator continues to make jokes about how long it's taking the heroes to reach Vermilion City, Jeff Zero feels vaguely uncomfortable as he recalls how long it will take Ash between badges in the future, and the episode ends on an otherwise-high note.

Over the years, I've really come to respect those guys. I've only played so many of their games, but they're better about these things than most. Is it PR? Absolutely. But it's better PR, and it's very specific PR.

JEFF ZERO sees JEFFRAZE'S attempted destruction of one of the gargoyles, and fears for what may happen next. "JOLTEON!" He whispers, although caps may incline readers to believe otherwise. "If those gargoyles start swarming us, I want you to use your Pin Missile attack on them as best you can, alright? I have my doubts that Electric attacks are especially effective against them, so use that one instead!"

Like any good Pokemon Trainer, Jeff Zero's dialogue is somewhat stilted and redundant, but his Jolteon doesn't seem to mind.

Also, Jeff has a Flaming Longsword now, which probably makes him the coolest Pokemon Trainer ever pretty much by default. So if I roll really poorly from hereon out, I'll die knowing that much.

Actually, yeah, only one update per round and all, and that's pretty much good. He and Jolteon are just hanging with JeffRaze, I suppose. Depending on what JeffRaze does, just figure they're there and ready for action.

I don't hate the Geodude line like many seem to, so yeah, poor Graveler, kinda. I vastly prefer Golem though -- a criminally underrated Rock Pokemon. I'll never understand his level of hatred across the general fandom.

JEFF ZERO and his speedy JOLTEON friend follow JEFFRAZE toward the East Pass, intrigued by the findings of the mad scientist whose efforts have paid off in the past.

"That's right, Jolteon. And when this is all over with, I'm going to be a Pokemon Mas... well, um, after a few weeks of rehabilitation."

You sound like you don't actually want to play these games. <_<

I mean, Mass Effect is great but no one is forcing you to play it.

Also, this. There are so many other games you can play. Mass Effect might be my New Series of the Generation and all, but you sound really against this.
