I played the demo of the wiiware one. I kinda liked it. It was like a super light Diablo.

Still haven't bothered to turn my 3DS on to download my free games... These new releases aren't changing my mind either. Maybe I should just trade it in.

This looks like it could be fun, but dunno if I'd pay full price for it.

Though I imagine I'd have more luck in this than the real Pokemon games :P

Geez, Pat, cel-shading is a shading technique! Shading! You know, when an object gets dark on one side because light isn't hitting it on that part? What does that have to do with outlines? Nothing! Outlines are just outlines! In fact, feel free to call them outlines! Because that's what they are!

"I think I use cel-shading as my go-to term for that, and there's always like three dudes..." "It's not technically cel-shading!"

Yeah, well, that's what happens when you use a term wrongly. It's not other people's fault you guys don't know what cel-shading means.

"They KNOW they're toys. Consider that."

Kudos to Ryan for the most ontologically significant thing ever uttered on Giant Bomb. Okay, they know the truth: Are they better off for knowing? What effect do you think that knowledge has on their self-image or worldview?

AIM FOR THE HORN!

Or something like that. Hell, at this point he should never lose a fucking battle with Pikachu. That thing should be like, level 500. But you know he does.

I also remember seeing that he used Pikachu to make some kind of electric barrier around a flying Pokemon. You know, an electric barrier to protect someone who's weak against electricity.

Ryan Davis obviously went to Ash Ketchum's School of Pokemon Strategy. Always go with the type disadvantage! It's the ultimate, infallible strategy for Pokemon Masters the world over.  
 

@Capum15:  His Pikachu lost to a starter Snivy at the beginning of the newest series.

Because of love and friendship duh! Which is why I would love to see Ryan inserted into the world of Pokemon. It would be of "Meet the Feebles" quality.

@Peanut: It doesn't surprise me, even though he should be roflstomping Legendaries. Even if he reverted back to beginner level, his knowledge should be enough to win everything at the beginning.

This game would be so much better if there were actual toys of these pokemans, and a stand so you could swap them on the fly in real life!

I like Patrick, but it seems like every Quick Look he's in he brings up "why is this happening?  Look at us, questioning the narrative of Pokemon/Kirby/Cars 2, etc."

I really loved the Wii Ware game that came out for this, so I'll probably buy this to after 6 months or so. It's so fast and fun and easy to pick up and play, the perfect 3DS game.

See, the thing you have to know about pokemon is that they won't be your pal until you beat them into submission, then you can be friends forever.

Is it wrong this is probably the game that will get me to get a 3DS? Also, the "Number" you get at the end of the level is the amount of pokemon you killed.  Having played far far too much Pokemon Rumble on Wii.

You see, we control the humans that control the Pokémon, and the Pokémon control the Miis that control the Toy Pokémon. And the Toy Pokémon control us.

It's quick looks like these that help determine if the game looks fun or not. While in some cases I think they're wrong (DQM:J 2 looks wicked fun), this makes the game look interesting and I wanna get it.
