The youngest Master at any given time is 17. Otherwise, they are all adults.

I don't think this is about using the cards. Its just something fun to do.

Hmm...you be the judge. :)

Yes and no. Pokemon cards traditionally don't have that type of full art detail on them. They don't have things like fire and flowers that extend to the borders of the card

Of course. I mean, don't you know how many tera-giga-flops of data are needed in order to render the whatchamacallits?

That actually makes your comment a little less relevant. Instead of "going out", you could obtain all of the Pokemon you needed from a sibling or a friend. You didn't have to "go" anywhere or do much of anything.

It isn't I guess, but not everyone can make it to an event (I always do, but I digress...).

People said the same darn thing about Mega Kangaskhan until she swept the hell out of Winter Regionals and is still kicking ass to this day. Trainers are still prepared for her, but that hasn't stopped both the Senior and Masters Division Champions from winning with her on their team.

Dragon is weak to dragon, but fairy is completely immune to it.

I am very much aware.

I don't know if anyone has said this one, but:

Wrong. The full resolution is not "native" because a technique is used for it.

Oh, Sony pimped that game for quite a while and the fact that it was going to run natively at full 1080p was common knowledge among gaming sites. It even appeared on a Sony blog.

I mentioned this in another post, but the game always runs at 1080p, no matter what mode you are playing. Whether it is consistently running a native "Full 1080p" (as in 1920x1080) at all times is the issue here, one the deals with semantics more than anything else.

Ahem...if people are going with the "Sony-sucks-because-they-lied-about-resolution-to-hurt-Microsoft" argument, then it is flawed. I'll explain.

How far off from 1080p is the resolution? None, really. You are not going to tell the difference just by looking. When the game is running, you might notice that some pixels are blurrier than usual. The only time you might notice is if the framerate dips or if the temporal reprojection is off a bit.

It DOES run at 1080p. That isn't the issue here. The issue is whether Sony mislead customers about the game running natively at 1080p in multiplayer (they use a temporal projection to achieve 1080p).

Gamestop (and most other game stores, regardless of who they are) are actually counting on this fact. I used to work at a family run game store and we knew that people would make big trades during the middle (15th or so) and the end of the month. Why? To pay bills and tabs such. Our trade-in values were higher than…

Not surprising since the game can be found everywhere now and Gamestop only charges about $10 for it used. Hell, I can probably get it for less than $5 on eBay, so....yeah, $1.65 seems about right.
