Ah, Netflix.

I wouldn't say I was raised on it...mostly when I was younger I would play JRPGs, mainly because I was a Nintendo fanatic. Only recently (last ~3 years) have I cared much about western RPGs, and really only because I bought a 360.

For now, yes, that's my stance on it.

Me.

Pokemon is a weird game - in that, it can be as casual or hardcore as you want. You could play it casually and not care about what's going on behind the scenes. On the other hand, you could play really hardcore and train EVs, IVs, etc.

Sorry, I read you a bit wrong. Yes, Pokemon is a console mover. Yes, especially for kids. However, for more hardcore gamers, even the ones who love Pokemon, it doesn't matter. I'll take tons of quality games over Pokemon and a few Nintendo games. Seriously, I love Pokemon, but I just sold my 3DS. I'll gladly take the…

So wait, a quick bit of math...

80 hours?

No. I've heard of it but never have had a real excuse to check it out. Time to do so.

Actually, there used to be a time when tons of games were that long.

There's a reason physical copies are going away. Digital downloads are faster, easier, and provide more features. Physical copies only have one advantage - they're physical. Nice to look at, but not as practical as they used to be.

Never had problems with connectivity; I guess it is a big problem though, as so many people are reporting issues.

Hm. Wasn't aware of the 500 character limit. Didn't know their mic codec was so old, but they do have to make it compatible with the Xbox. Of course, what they should do is update both. I've never had a full mailbox, so I don't know how well that works.

Doesn't matter how much it sells. Pokemon is fun, but I won't buy a console just for Pokemon. Neither will most people. There's better games out there, anyway.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I would love to see a great library on both platforms too!

The 360 is almost devoid of JRPGs too. Yeah, I think this gen is almost void of JRPGs. 黒人 mentioned Tales of Vesperia, which is my personal favorite as well; but it is the only JRPG in my 360 library. And I love JRPGs.

I never found it slow. Pretty snappy, actually. Maybe it's just my PC (seriously not trying to brag here, just trying to make a point).

Yeah, the 3DS is considerably more powerful than the regular old DS. However, that's not where I should be making comparisons. What most people compare the 3DS to is the Vita. The Vita blows the 3DS out of the water.

Dude, one game (or series of games) does not make a console. Not even Pokemon.

How's it burned?
