Tales of Vesperia

Xbox One: $586 (with tax)

It is if you love the Persona 4 cast and story. I do love them, but I'm sick of that one entry getting mowed into the ground. I'm ready for a new Persona now.

Anyone who likes Clannad must be an okay person.

Lets say you have a Pokemon with terrible IVs at level 50 and then you have the same Pokemon at level 50 but with perfect IVs. That Pokemon with perfect inherent values will be about as powerful as a level 60 Pokemon even though it is a level 50 when compared to its poorly IV'd counterpart.

This whole interview was a really great read by GQ actually. If you haven't read it I'd highly recommend it.

I thought Black and White 2 were the best in the series yet, and that's coming from someone who was 9 when they got Red in 1998. Black and White 2 was just a love letter to everything great about Pokemon and had the best journey out of all of them to me. I'm thoroughly excited about Generation 6 and think it may be…

It was released in Japan in 1996 but the West didn't get it until 1998. I was 9 when we got it.

Trubbish is about as clever as Grimer or Muk, so not very at all. Living pollution? Who comes up with this stuff right? In all seriousness the Litwick line is probably the best line of Ghost types out there barring maybe Banette in terms of design. Sad fact is Pokemon is filled with not so clever designs, but that…

Probably more of a safety net. They may've had a number for what they came up with for costs, but as you well know game development budgets are meant to be broken. I think they may've come to a larger sum just to avoid possibly having any future disappointments from things unforeseen. The last thing Inafune wants is…

Also, the Chandelure comment irked the hell out of me. Trust me, they've been using inanimate objects and making them into Pokemon since Gen 1. Chandelure is a great design. It goes by the very idea of a ghost inhabiting an inanimate object within a haunt.

All I ask is that they nerf Stealth Rock aka Sneaky Pebbles. Sick of that move. Game looks fantastic though and every change they've announced so far I've liked for the most part. Seems redundant to give Lucario a Mega with double stab. Mawile, Kangaskhan, Absol, and Ampharos all completely deserve to have Mega…

No one cares about normal form* Deoxys. #corrections

You talk about Sony's mission and how they'll give you the best deal for your money but I'm sorry, that's horse poo. Look at the Vita with its proprietary memory cards or the Playstation 3 launch price. Those were only to further their own market.

This whole thing just screams "This is why Trick Room was invented."

Still probably my favorite entry in the entire series too, and that's coming from someone who started with Red and Blue.

Would be a great tragedy I'm afraid. It'd be the fourth generation of this. I actually wouldn't mind it just being plain old Fire throughout. Nothing wrong with plain Fire. Aside from Stealth Rock. God I hope they nerf it to hell and back.

Except for those translation patches only work with certain texts in the game. Item descriptions and other things that are stored server side can't be translated.

That's the original Japanese sprite.

I never want to play through Red and Blue again as long as I live. No problem with Fire Red and Leaf Green, but the Gen 1 games are an atrocious mess and I'd rather have a good version over a nostalgia ridden one. That's coming from someone who started with Red.
