I preferred Silver and Gold too (Silver being my all-time favourite...the remakes are close-behind) and as a child I found Ruby/Sapphire lacking as well. However, the probable source of the excitement was the full-colour rendering, a load of new Pokemon and the integration of the legendaries into the story (I remember…

He may be cheaply designed, but I love Muk.

Does the Pokemon Company rush any Pokemon title these days? While some may complain about the plots/lack there of, every Pokemon core and spin-off game since 2000 that I can think of has been exceedingly well-made. It's the reason Pokemon sells as well as it does.

It's my "if I was somehow invited to join Nintendo to develop a Pokemon game" dream project. The whole playing as a villain thing.

I don't own the Wii U (and therefore am probably susceptible to fallacious reasoning) , but going by the love that my that my 14-year old brother and his mates have for the PS4 (we had the Wii, Gameboy Colour, GBA and DSes the past generations) and their generally affinity for games with online experiences over…

I love how much of a troll Nintendo is: yesterday they report record losses and then counter with Ruby/Sapphire remakes today. I'd say their profits will be a bit better next year...

I preferred Johto and found Hoenn lacking storywise (although Emerald helped), but damn if I wasn't excited firing up Sapphire on my SP for the first time and seeing Pokemon in glorious full-colour art.

Personally hoping for a story set in a Hoenn where Aqua and Magma have actually conquered the region (still warring) and you have go properly undercover to defeat them. That would fit a "dramatic story"...think of the possibilities.

HELL YES!

Yeah I really enjoyed it even on PS3. There's a lot of competition this year though: Project Cars, Driveclub, The Crew. Each of them have a "new" gimmick or gameplay innovation so it's for the best that NFS waits. Also, perhaps they are actively trying to make people forget the NFS movie? It was okay, but the acting…

It would have been cool if they'd been part of a team though.

I think it's time you learnt the true meaning of playtime!

Cheers Richard! As always, I look forward to reading your next review. :)

Richard, are you enjoying anything in particular from this season's new anime? I've been trying to figure out if there's anything stellar out there, but so far I've only been somewhat interested in Nanana's Buried Treasure (Given, I haven't seen JoJo, but I'd prefer to catch up for that).

I'm pretty sure Sailor Uranus was in a relationship with Sailor Neptune, which my five-year old self thought was cool at the time, but must have actually been fairly progressive.

But Jason, the real question is, are JRPGs making a comeback? ;)

He may have been a 32-bit virtual monster, but my Charizard and I had a connection dammit! I believed in him and I know that he trusted me.

I did when I was five...and I'm pretty sure it was the last move I used to beat Blue ( I called him Toru though)..or it came down to my Charizard and his Blastoise both using Struggle. God that was an intense match, but the sheer sense of invincibility and elation after beating your first Elite Four and Champion is an…

I'm afraid you've caught me ;) I mainly wanted to know if BRS was any good using an apparently tenuous connection to Project Diva given that the commenters of Kotaku have generally given great anime-watching advice. Though I did think that they were more deeply related as Project Diva F kept coming up as one the first…

Can I ask if Railgun is worth the watch? Also, should I see Index first?
