So before you actually read the crap that I wrote out over two years ago just to keep someone's website up, let's see if I can write something comprehensible, totally unlike Giygas's attacks. You'll have to excuse me, I've been playing the MOTHER games for the past month, and I somehow became even more of a fan. There's half of a reason though, and that's because I don't do much than type on the computer, play MUGEN, go on YouTube and find things to type about, and chats. Yes, chats. With actual people and not bots. Boy, those were the days.
"But RSR," you say, "Don't you watch TV? Surely you have a TV box." This is true. I actually own video game consoles, so I need something to play them on. I also have a DVD player which I use to watch movies and other videos that I've burnt onto DVDs. Otherwise, I don't use it, because there's nothing else to use it for. Yes, I have cable, but screw it.
First of all, it's kind of sad that there aren't many good shows that haven't been canceled already. Thinking back, I watched Chappelle's Show when it was still going, and it was one of those shows that I'd watch weekly. When Dave left, what did Comedy Central give us? Mind of Mencia. Yes, I can hear your collective groan. Trust me, I'm groaning too. Also, there was MXC, which was good for a while before I stopped watching Spike TV. Then I caught it again, and it's more like, yeah it's there, but who really cares? Especially now since we get Ninja Warrior, which is ten times better. And even though I never watched it myself, I hear people always wondering why the hell FOX canceled Arrested Development. What did we get in place of that? The War at Home. Way to go.
Also, you've heard the complaints that the Simpsons isn't funny anymore. Well yeah. As a matter of fact, the last new Simpsons episode I watched was "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind", which is a parody of one of my favorite movies of all time, therefore I watched, and it ended up apparently being one of the funniest Simpsons episodes in a while. Yes, there are still funny episodes, but you still need to watch the unfunny ones to get to them. This makes me wonder why King of the Hill is still on, but I'm not going to question that show's audience anymore than I have for the past seven years. Luckily, we still have Futurama in a manner of speaking, so animation isn't completely lost. Also, the Venture Brothers is pretty clever, but the wait is always long for new episodes. Anyway, this isn't a bad thing, so I'm going to stop talking about it.
The second thing is that maybe as I'm growing up, I start to wonder why cartoons are so painfully unfunny now. Parents didn't like the Cartoon Cartoons that much, as they had grown up with perfectly violent programming as they were young'ns. We of course, grew up with such shows like Dexter's Laboratory and Rocko's Modern Life. Friggin hilarious, but now gone, unless you have Boomerang for Dexter. Rocko on the other hand, has been sent to the great beyond. That's a totally different thing in itself though, so I won't bother. Either way, shows for kids are annoying these days. Yes, this statement is generally aimed at the Disney Channel, and all 70 of their teen idols. I could, right off the bat, say Hannah Montana, but no, I'll save her for later. Disney Channel's programming, which used to be actually tolerable at one hazy point, has just created unfunny sitcoms for younger children/preteens. Yes, because cartoons are so behind the times now, unless they feature talking sponges. Once again, another thing to write about for another time. They're also all pretty much the same with a different premise anyway. Some teenage girl has something that's not going her way, she complains about it, she makes up some elaborate plan to stop it which 8 times out of 10 involves some ridiculous costume that NO ONE should fall for, and then a choice. Either they totally misunderstood the idea, they compeltely messed up completely which is what it normally comes to, or they hurt a friend in the process, and you get the sad remix of the main theme. Either way, it all ends up good in the end, so don't worry. The same could be said for all sitcoms, but Disney Channel has perfected this and has somehow made millions of dollars off of doing the SAME THING.
Finally, and the main reason I made this, REALITY SHOWS. You know what I mean. American Idol, the overglorified kareoke contest, failed to bring anyone who remotely stood out this year other than David Archuleta, whoever the hell that is. Also, who the hell keeps greenlighting these goddamn "Love" shows? You know whicn ones I'm talking about. Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, I Love New York, and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. ALL OF THEM ARE THE SAME. AND NONE OF THEM ARE GOOD. Not to mention, you have to be chronically fucked up in order to be on the shows. No, you can't be nice and normal or anything, you have to have something that makes you stand out and able to fight with very other girl/male on the cast. But the reality show that got me this riled up was on E!. You know E! right? Simple Life? Girls Next Door? Well, today I was forced to watch an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. For those who don't know, Kim Kardashian is a woman with a huge behind that achieved fame like Paris Hilton did. Fucked some guy, made a video, is now famous. E! noticed this, and gave her and the rest of her sisters (who's names all start with the letter K) a show. Perhaps it was the fact that the particular episode had one of the Cheetah Girls on it, and I don't like any of them. Maybe it was because I find starting a chicken coop because there aren't any eggs to be stupid. But I now dislike Kim and Khloe and Kourtney even more than I did before. I felt as if I had lost some IQ points just watching it. It also makes me continue to question exactly why Kim Kardashian is famous, but I don't tend to think about that alot, because I figure that I'll soon get an aneurysm and I won't be able to think about anything else again other than Kim and her backside. I'm still in school, so I have to use my brain for more constructive things, so I won't dwell on it that much.
So, what the hell? Is this what TV has turned into? I mean, sure you have all these dramas, but they aren't all that good. Deal or No Deal was tolerable for a while, but eventually my interest in that died. But, is there truly nothing that I watch on TV? No, there's still some things. I'd say anime, but there isn't any anime worth watching anymore on TV THANK YOU VERY MUCH CARTOON NETWORK. Adult Swim hasn't been good for a while, so I suppose I'm waiting for the next season of the Venture Bros while I watch Space Ghost on YouTube. I'm trying to get into Doctor Who since some of my friends are into it. Otherwise, there isn't much.
So, I'm supposed to end with some kind of joke. Uh... well, you know that we have to trade in our Analog TVs for Digital TVs, right? There you go.

Episode Review that will NEVER BE FINISHED. EVER: Pokemon, I Choose You!
We all know what Pokemon is. Unless you're Japanese and know it as "Pocket Monsters". Beyond the numerous games which are basically the same damn thing, the shows that have sucked since they canceled Master Quest (and ruined the mystery surrounding the romance between Ash and Misty), and the voices that nowadays, just plain suck.
Either way, today I'm here to bring you the review of the FIRST EVER EPISODE OF POKEMON~
POKEMON! I CHOOSE YOU!
It starts out with this simple graphic of the beginning of Pokemon Red. I never liked Pokemon Red, cause Blue is a superior color. Yet for some reason, I bought Pokemon Fire Red instead of Leaf Green. Hm. Either way, the Pokemon you can't see is Gengar, and won't appear until ALOT later in the series. The other Pokemon is a Nidoran. It's Nidoran Male for you nitpicking sons of bitches. When Nidoran charges...
We get into the show. It starts out with this battle where Nidoran attempts to hurt Gengar with a tackle. LITTLE DOES NIDORAN KNOW, NORMAL ATTACKS LIKE TACKLE DON'T WORK AGAINST GHOSTS LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Either way, Nidoran gets put to sleep, and so the trainer here is forced to make the stupidest move ever by calling on... ONIX!
The problem with Onix is that unless it knows Dig or Earthquake, it can be felled against any ghost. Yes, I said felled instead of beaten. Before this monumental Gengar vs. Onix battle can begin, we're reminded that there's a kid in this show. Since Red doesn't make a good name for ANYONE, 4Kids renamed him the second name on the list; Ash.
Let me go on the record right now. Red is a FAR better trainer than Ash is. Just like how Blue is alot better than Gary. Red and Blue's rivalry has moved on past Pokemon, and they now shoot each other in the webshow Red Vs. Blue. Meanwhile, Gary and Ash became friends, and Gary left to go do some stuff, probably to knock up Erika in Celadon City. Ash however, said "wtf i hate you both" to Brock and Misty, and left them both for May, before May's brother came along, and then Brock said "no ash don't leave meh" and Brock came along. Then Misty said "i hate you ash have my babies" and makes occasional appearances. Have I told you that Pokemon shows suck now? I mean, where the hell is Brandon (main male character of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald)?
Ahem, I digress. Ash is given the CLEVER last name of Ketchum, and his mom came in to tell him to get in bed.
She then turns the channel to this old guy, who we know as Professor Oak. Oak tells us that there are three Pokemon that he can get. Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
I'm a big fan of Squirtle. I always go for the Water Pokemon at the beginning. Squirtle, Totodile, and Mudkip, FTW. Also, Squirtle is the best Pokemon Ash got, because he hung out with a gang, and they put out fires. Let's see YOUR gang do that! Ash however, loses sleep over this and while choosing Squirtle, throws his Alarm Clock against the wall.
It's morning now, you can tell by the Dodrio trying to be a rooster. Ash wakes up and realizes that he's a dumbass and runs down the street in his pajamas, trying to get a Pokemon.
Of course, since they were rivals at this time, Gary has cheerleaders (and probably has fun with them, if you know what I mean) and tells Ash to call him MISTERBenjamin GARY. He then tells him that he got a Pokemon, and HE DOESN'T. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!
Ash asks what Pokemon Gary got, and Gary tells us that it's none of our business. We all take guesses, but we find out in two ways:
1. Pokemon Yellow spoiled it for us
2. The episode before the end of the Orange Islands arc.
Either way, Gary tells him that he blows cause his grandfather isn't Professor Oak. Considering in Pokemon Yellow, Gary got there after Ash, and shoved Ash out of the way to get his Pokemon. Professor Oak comes out and tells Ash that he was late and can pick one of the Pokemon. And neglects to tell him that every Pokeball was empty.
So Oak tells him that there's one Pokemon left, but he has an attitude problem. Ash, too worried about NOT getting a Pokemon, takes it anyway.
That's where Pikachu comes in. Pikachu's already pissed off at Ash for being late as well, so he proceeds to shock the shit out of Ash, just to prove his dominance. Oak makes an awful joke, and presents Ash with a Pokedex and his Pokeballs. See, in the game, you find out that you have to send a Parcel back to Oak, and then you get your Pokedex, and then you go back and buy some balls. But Ash is poor, so he has to get everything in one fell swoop. He then hands it to him while getting shocked again.
Ash doesn't need a big crowd, cheerleaders, or a car to carry him away. But then again, he spent the first entire episode trying to get a mouse to like him. I think that speaks for itself.

Let's put up a different conclusion due to this being posted in a different place and me being ten times smarter than I was then. ANYWAY, yeah. I deleted these off of my computer before the review could be finished, and even now that it can be finished, I'm much too lazy to take screenshots and finish it. So yeah, here's a pretty much unfunny incomplete review from 2006 Me.
Either way, today I'm here to bring you the review of the FIRST EVER EPISODE OF POKEMON~

So yeah, here's a pretty much unfunny incomplete review from 2006 Me.
Misc: Filler Instinct
Because I don't give it any love anymore. This is another thing I whipped up for Panfan Productions while I was bored, and... looking back, it's not even all that funny. I also posted this at the Killer Instinct Online forums when I actually posted there.
Misc: Credit Where Credit is Due
(I wrote this because I was bored, and had nothing else to update Panfan Productions with. Yay.)
A new series of things from me? Possibly. Well, like I said. I had a Pokemon article coming up. This one is on the neglected Pokemon that was carried by the trainers. I mean in... well, each series up to Master Quest (You'll NEVER get me to watch Battle Frontier OR any Advance series). Let's start with the main character.
Ash Ketchum-
You all know Ash. The main character of EVERY series (except Chronicles), the trainer who looks up to Red. Of course, Red's not an actual trainer in the series, but he might as well be.
Panfan: Red?! The hell are you talking about?
As in Pokemon Red? Pokemon Fire Red? Not Communist RevolutionaryClock Red?
Anyway, Ash always had six Pokemon with him, and when he caught a new one, they'd be sent to Professor Oak, where they would be treated with care. Let's not beat around the bush with this trainer.
Krabby/Kingler: Let's begin with the first Pokemon to be sent to Oak. As in Krabby. When Ash caught Krabby (in an episode involving a lighthouse or something), he had six Pokemon. Pikachu, Butterfree (which would leave him for a group of Butterfree in the first "GOODBYE!" episode), Pidgeotto (which left him in the episode before he went to the Pokemon League, but not before evolving into Pidgeot), and the three stooges, Squirtle (Left him for theSpirit Squirtle Squad a little bit into the Johto Journeys), Charmelzard (Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Charizard left him for training in the Orange Islands), and Bulbasaur (left him to be a diplomat for the Bellossom and the Vileplume in Master Quest). I call them the three stooges because they, along with Pikachu and ONLY Pikachu ("I ONLY HAVE TWO OF MY POKEMON!"~ Ash. Those two were Butterfree and Pidgeotto) were stranded on the ISLAND OF GIANT POKEMON~ in one of the best episodes of the first series. That's a story for another day. AAAAAAAAAAAANYWAY, Krabby was caught, and had no room with Ash, so he was sent to Professor Oak and... forgotten about for the most part. I mean, he was with Professor Oak, and we're supposed to remember that Ash has a Muk, not a Krabby. I'm not going to write about Muk, cause every time Ash talked to Oak, he'd show up anyway. Krabby doesn't appear until the Pokemon League episodes where Ash needs all six Pokemon (I forgot which Pokemon he had at this point. He still had Pikachu, Squirtle, a very uneducated Charizard, and Bulbasaur). Ash needs two Pokemon, so he got Krabby (who, in the time at Oak's, evolved into a Kingler), and one of Ash's many Tauros, who NO ONE in America knew Ash had. He's being written about, obviously. Kingler helped out, and was essentially forgotten about again, as in the Orange Islands, Ash wouldn't need it again, with a Snorlax and Lapras being caught, and both (along with Charizard) leaving him.
Kingler seemed like he was going to make an appearance, but then Ash got all three starting Johto Pokemon as well (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile). Then Squirtle leaves, and Ash gets a Noctowl.
Kingler isn't seen until Master Quest (the Whirl Islands arc), when he needs two water Pokemon (and only had Totodile). Totodile gets dealt with by Misty's Poliwhirl, and Kingler makes short work of Poliwhirl, showing that he's awesome for a Pokemon that's never seen EVER. However, since Ash is a dumbass, he ends up getting pwned by Psyduck, cause Ash forgot his power. Dumbass. And of course, all of Ash's Pokemon get let go (instead of the 'Chu) for Advance, and Kingler is a distant memory, as many people ask "Wait, when the hell did Ash ever have one of those?"
Haunter: As with Haunter. Many people don't remember Haunter with good reason. Haunter was only there for two episodes, used to beat the crap out of Alakazam for the Spirit Badge. At least, I THINK it was the Spirit Badge. Ash for whatever reason, couldn't keep Haunter past Lavender Town and Saffron City, so it had to go again. Now, everyone who's caught a Haunter in Pokemon Red/FireRed/Blue/Yellow/LeafGreen knows that Haunter's great. I don't know, I never saw these episodes. Dammit, why did I delete the first season off of here?!
Tauros: I mean, COME ON! I even had THIS episode! Okay, okay, okay. So Ash and co were in the Safari Zone in Fushcia City, right? Well, Tauros (along with Chansey and Kangashkhan) were the hardest Pokemon to catch in there. Yet, Ash caught AN ENTIRE HERD. Problem was, there was too much gunplay for the episode to come to the states. Damn 4Kids. Anyway, I didn't see the episode. I only saw the first... two minutes of it where Ash gets a shotgun pointed at his face. Come to think of it, I didn't even get to see Beauty and the Beach, starring James' Inflated Boobs. D:
Either way, Tauros only makes two more appearances. Once in the Pokemon League episodes, and another after the Orange Islands series, when Ash is explaining to Tracey how he has a HELL OF ALOT of Tauros. Meh. We could do that by surfing on Cinnabar Island, trading them to Gold, and bam. WE could have a herd of Tauros.
Primeape: Motherfu--... Primeape was a GREAT Pokemon. Considering that James has that Victrebel that keeps trying to eat him, Primeape was dedicated to beating up Ash and ALL of his Pokemon. FUN FACT: For those who didn't see the episode where Primeape was caught, it was also the same episode where Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. FYI. Anyway, Ash and friends are going by a bunch of rocks, and they encounter a legion of Mankey. Now, Brock, being the breeder he is, offers Mankey some rice cakes. This attracts a Primeape, who will beat the shit out of you if you look him in the eyes. Problem is, the Primeape ends up stealing Ash's coveted hat (WHICH WE FIND OUT IS AN OFFICIAL POKEMON LEAGUE HAT!!1!1!1!111one), and Ash is dedicated to getting it back. Eventually Ash does, and Charmeleon fries the shit out of it, only out of spite. Charmeleon, forgetting that oops, I mean Ash saved it as a Charmander. Ash catches it, and since Butterfree left at this point, Primeape was kept. Ash's first action as a Primeape owner? Toss the ball in a hole with Team Rocket in it, promptly making sure that Team Rocket got the crap beat out of them.
This wasn't the only time we saw Primeape though. Later, there was a fighting Pokemon tournament. Being stupid and very reliant on the same one move two move Pikachu, he tries to teach Pikachu how to fight against a Hitmonchan (which is by far, my FAVORITE Kanto Pokemon). Failing miserably, he takes out Primeape, and Primeape is trained by... some guy, I don't remember. So in the tournament, Primeape advances to the finals. The Hitmonchan gets beaten by a Hitmonlee, commandeered by Team Rocket. Driven by the will to win, Primeape finally respects Ash as a trainer, and beats up Hitmonlee, despite the cheating. With a shiny new belt, Primeapeenters the WWE and smashes John Cena stays with the trainer to train and beat up Pokemon for years to come (I hope he destroyed numerous Hitmontops in the process). Primeape could've been one of the best Pokemon Ash had, but of course, Ash had to be noble and let it go. Bah.
And finally... his friggin Bulbasaur: This will be short. Bulbasaur was like Pikachu. Pikachu only did Thunder-insert word here, and Agility. It very RARELY used Quick Attack, and it didn't learn Iron Tail until Advanced. Bulbasaur was there to do two moves. Razor Leaf and Vine Whip. The problem is this. Bulbasaur learned something between Pokemon- the First Series and Johto League Challenge. He learned SOLAR BEAM. DAMMIT, HE LEARNED SOLAR BEAM. But Ash forgot, and continued to only use it for Razor Leaf and Vine Whip. Moron. Also, Bulbasaur was like a leader to the Pokemon, second to Pikachu of course. It was kind of a smart-ass in the Giant Pokemon episode when they saw the Mechanical Venusaur. After seeing what happened when Squirtle talked to the Blastoise, said... well, something. Can't remember exactly what. Oh, it was in subtitles, so DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME. And in the First Movie, Bulbasaur cradled Togepi to sleep, AND defended the group against Snubbull's gang. VEEEEEEEEERY neglected in my opinion. Of course, Bulbasaur was also in charge of making sure that Ash would never fall down any large pits or anything. He's always been a protector, and showed that all the way when he helped unite the Bellossom and the Vileplume in one of the best episodes in Master Quest. Of course, he first got jumped by all of them, but that shows it's tenacity as well. Bulbasaur is great.
--
Misty- We all know the story behind Misty. In the game, the Cerulean City Gym Leader, gets pissed in Gold/Silver when you ruin her conversation with her boyfriend (Ash's only appearance in a Pokemon (insert-color) game. :P Kay, not really)(BONUS QUESTION! What was the ONLY Pokemon game that actually featured characters from the series?) Misty... well, pretty much was Ash's girlfriend throughout the entire series, although they denied it every time (including a pretty well done take when Brock stays with Professor Ivy (OMG NOT THAT NAME) and they're tied up in a blimp with Team Rocket. TR notices there's one missing, and starts making the accusations. :P). Wow, four parenthesis already. o_o Anyway, it's not revealed until Gotta Catch You Later (the final episode in Pokemon, at least according to me. I didn't watch anything after that), where Misty says "Now I know how you feel about me, Ash", pretty much alluding to that. They cool like that. AAAANYWAY, Misty's a water trainer, and has... well, only a couple neglected Pokemon.
Togepi: This is hilarious. Togepi was there near the end of the first season (when they were starting to introduce Pokemon from Johto into Kanto), and was the baby of the group. It's the egg Pokemon guys, come on. Togepi is neglected, cause of the hilarity of it's power. Togepi can do Metronome. Metronome made it's first appearance in the Mount Moon episode (what, the sixth Episode in all?) when the Clefairy did it to get rid of Team Rocket. Togepi was like Psyduck, in which no one really knew what was going on until it happened. Although they still didn't know. Misty had a clue about it, but it was put down when they remembered that Togepi was a baby. This is messed up. A Ditto can turn into a friggin cannon, but Togepi can't do an attack. Togepi of course, left with Misty at the end of the series (to me. Like I said, I don't watch Advance). However, in one of the few times Misty appeared in the Advanced series (Maybe Advanced Challenge, I don't know, I don't care) Togepi finally evolved into Togetic, and left. Eh.
Psyduck: Now, I'm going to love this one. Okay, many people don't remember when Misty got Psyduck. Misty got Psyduck way back when Ash challenged Koga for the Soul Badge. After winning it, they were under seige from Team Rocket. Psyduck was a Pokemon that was just there, and was getting abused from both sides. Psyduck got a massive headache, and used confusion something fierce. After that, Misty STILL didn't want it, and was mad when it tripped into one of her Pokeballs. After that, in like, four episodes since then, Psyduck would get a major headache and confuse it's way into destroying Team Rocket (and Ash's Kingler, as said before), and STILL would get no respect from Misty. One of the two Pokemon to randomly appear, and be very neglected (don't worry. Wobbuffet's coming up too).
--
Brock- Brock's the former Pewter City gym leader. Brock started as that, just like he was in the game, and gave it up to travel with Ash and become a breeder. Later, he stayed behind with Professor Ivy, and was promptly replaced by Tracey Sketchit (who's Pokemon are on this list as well). After the Orange Islands arc though (even after making a SLIGHT appearance in Pokemon 2000), Brock was dumped by Ivy (which was made fun of in the second to last Kanto episode) and was working alongside Delia's (I've only saw Pokemon: The First Movie and Pokemon 2000, so bear with me on that name) Mr. Mime doing housekeeping. Since Tracey wanted to help Professor Oak, Brock started traveling with Ash and the gang again. And since Advanced was MUCH lacking in masculinity (Traveling around with May and Max? Poor Ash), Brock appeared yet again. And this time, Max jumps on him and grabs his ears when he tries to work his mojo. Damn haters. Brock really doesn't have an affiliation anymore. He used to be devoted to Rock Pokemon, but... eh. Now he's all around. I'm going to pretty much do all his Pokemon up to Advance. Doesn't he have a Mudkip now?
Onix: Onix, Onix, Onix. The best Pokemon held for SO DAMN LONG, and never used. Onix could do it all, but never did. Remember the First Movie? Charizard's head was stuck in a pipe, and no less than eight Pokemon were trying to get him free. Onix was at the end of the rope. If it would've just jerked back a little, Charizard would be a giraffe, but it'd be out of the pipe. And this episode I was just watching with Ursaring. Onix did a tackle, and probably could've sent ANY Pokemon flying. Just tapped him though. Then later, he had to work with Arbok to get Ash and the Gang (including Team Rocket) to safety. Could've did it himself. Onix has only been beaten in battle twice, both from outside interference, more or less. Ash used the sprinklers in the Pewter City Gym to get Onix wet, and set him up for the ELECTRICSHOCK! And Meowth, knowing he couldn't use Fury Swipes, took some buckets of water and threw them at him. In the outdoors, unless people in the Pokemon world are as clumsy as they are around Ranma.
(We're going to pause for those who aren't familiar with Ranma 1/2. See, when Ranma Saotome or his father get splashed with cold water, they turn into a girl and panda respectively. Now, everytime Ranma needs to stay a guy, SOMEONE walking around with water trips or just tosses it away, and it always lands on Ranma. For example: Ranma's father told his wife that he would take Ranma and turn him into a MAN AMONG MEN. He later turned himself into a panda and his son into a girl. And so if she catches them, they have to commit Seppeku, or ritual suicide. And everytime Ranma's mom is around, instead of cold water, while Ranma is disguised as a girl by fear of death, they always trip and send hot water, which turns him back to a guy, on him. So there you go.)
Anyway, Onix is damn tough, and Brock should still be a Gym Leader.
Vulpix: And then there's this goddamn Vulpix. Brock got Vulpix from a Pokemon Groomer, nuff said. Now, Vulpix is like Growlithe. A fast fire Pokemon. But you'd be amazed at how little Vulpix appears. I mean I would understand if it was because there were other good Pokemon (like Onix) that Brock was using, but Brock for some reason, spent alot of time using Pineco. PINECO. You know, the Pine Cone that acts like a Voltorb? Bah. Vulpix should've been around more, especially since it had that amazing Fire Spin.
Geodude: See Onix. Seriously. Geodude is just a rock with arms, but a powerful rock with arms.
Zubat/Crobat: I didn't even see Zubat enough to see it evolve, much less into a Crobat. Now, Zubat was introduced in the Mount Moon episode (what, the sixth episode in al-- wait. I said that already), and was only used so Pidgeotto, and then Noctowl would have a companion to search with. I didn't see when Zubat evolved, nor do I care. Zubat should've bitten alot of Pokemon, or used that Sonic attack or whatever. What a waste of a Pokemon.
Charmander: You're probably saying this already. "Wait. Charmander was Ash's Pokemon!" True, but Brock was the one who cared for it the most. If only Ash wasn't so committed to being a trainer, and Brock wasn't so committed to being a breeder...

Quick look back for a second at a different Pokemon, one that you may have missed.
AJ's Sandshrew: Surprisingly, we have never seen AJ or his Sandshrew again. AJ appeared right after Ash won the Cascade Badge (I have the tape!), and Ash thought he was good. Ash and two out of three of his Pokemon (Butterfree and Pidgeotto. Pikachu didn't want ANYTHING to do with that Sandshrew) got their asses whupped, so it was no secret. AJ was phenomenal (excuse the pun). And so as it turned out, AJ cared about his Pokemon, but also put them through rigorous training. He got his 100th victory (without losing ONCE!) against Team Rocket (Number 99 was against Ash), and we haven't seen him since. Chances are, he's on his 1000th victory without losing once, and should be in the Pokemon Record Book by now. Sandshrew, still there. Sandshrew is fast, knows a mean dig move, and of course, is completely resistant to water (the only Sandshrew to be resistant). Even against these NEW Pokemon, Sandshrew could beat the shit out of anything. Ash and AJ could have a tremendous battle, as could Gary and AJ. But either way, Sandshrew could destroy them.

James- James should've never had to change. The "I WANNA BE TUXEDO MASK" James was great and to the point. The Team Rocket nowadays is way too comedic to be taken seriously. But in the first series, James could've easily have been my favorite character. He had a backstory in alot of places (Flunking out of Pokemon Tech and joining a Bicycle Gang, as well as being very rich), and until a bit in the series, had a understandable voice. James for the most part, was the best person in Team Rocket, considering Jessie can't Pokemon battle to save her life, and Meowth IS a Pokemon.
Victreebel: Let's face it. If James had a Weepinbell, he'd be better. Weepinbell was probably still with Butch and Cassidy, but we all know that by now. Victreebel for the most part is like Bulbasaur. Vinewhip. That's all it's good for. And Razor Leaf. Could probably be better, but isn't right now.
--
Jessie- Sucks.
Wobbuffet: See? She has a Wobbuffet, and doesn't use it that often. See, Wobbuffet is only a good defensive Pokemon. I'm sure that's not what Jessie wants. Wobbuffet, under like Misty or Brock, would be a good Pokemon. If Jessie used Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat (if it has it. I'm not sure it does) once against Pikachu, Ash wouldn't have a chance. But, like I said. Jessie sucks, so it doesn't matter.
--
Tracey Sketchit- Can kiss my ass. Seriously. He's a Pokemon sketcher, who wouldn't be in if Ash and Misty didn't care if anyone knew they were a couple.
Marill: Marill probably would've been Ash's Pokemon before long. Water Pokemon, looks like a mouse (hence why people called it Pikablu), yet fell into the hands of Tracey. Good thing about Tracey though is that he actually battles too. He had a Scyther and... something else. Marill would provide good back-up for the Snorlax/Pikachu combo. Sadly, that's all it was good for.
--
And finally, Gary Oak- The most evolved character in Pokemon. More than the Pokemon themselves. Gary started out an arrogant punk, started to slightly respect Ash when he saw him win the Earth Badge, was still kind of an arrogant punk in the Pokemon League arc, but matured greatly during the Orange Islands arc. See, Gary battles now caring for his Pokemon (Eevee), and before that, didn't care how he won, just as long as he did. (BONUS QUESTION NUMERO DOS! Was Gary in Pokemon: The First Movie?) Later on down the road, Gary and Ash became friends finally, and now they each share half of a Pokeball as a charm.
Eevee: Eevee is the least known, yet one of the best Pokemon in the series. And the fact that Gary didn't make it evolve makes it better. See, Gary beating Ash at the end of the first series was proof of that. Eevee uses agility, quick attack, and with the speed and companionship of Gary, it makes for a hard Pokemon to beat. Eevee gets a thumbs-up, and sadly, since we'll probably not see Gary again, he's gone now. Bah.

And that ends this. Why? CAUSE. No one else has any Pokemon we haven't seen thousands of times before, and that's still good. If anyone wants to fill me in on Advanced or Battle Frontier Pokemon though, go ahead and add on to it.
Answers:
1. Pokemon Puzzle League for the N64. You played as Ash with his three Pokemon of doom (Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur) against everyone. Team Rocket, Tracey, Gary, the Elite Four, and all the Gym Leaders and even Mewtwo. It was Panel de Pon on the '64, but with Pokemon. I can dig it.
2. Yes he was. I wouldn't bring it up if he wasn't would I, dumbass? He's in the montage of Mewtwo beating up on numerous Pokemon (including an Onix, but it's not BROCK'S Onix)
A new series of things from me? Possibly. Well, like I said. I had a Pokemon article coming up. This one is on the neglected Pokemon that was carried by the trainers. I mean in... well, each series up to Master Quest (You'll NEVER get me to watch Battle Frontier OR any Advance series). Let's start with the main character.
Ash Ketchum-
You all know Ash. The main character of EVERY series (except Chronicles), the trainer who looks up to Red. Of course, Red's not an actual trainer in the series, but he might as well be.
Panfan: Red?! The hell are you talking about?
As in Pokemon Red? Pokemon Fire Red? Not Communist RevolutionaryClock Red?
Anyway, Ash always had six Pokemon with him, and when he caught a new one, they'd be sent to Professor Oak, where they would be treated with care. Let's not beat around the bush with this trainer.
Krabby/Kingler: Let's begin with the first Pokemon to be sent to Oak. As in Krabby. When Ash caught Krabby (in an episode involving a lighthouse or something), he had six Pokemon. Pikachu, Butterfree (which would leave him for a group of Butterfree in the first "GOODBYE!" episode), Pidgeotto (which left him in the episode before he went to the Pokemon League, but not before evolving into Pidgeot), and the three stooges, Squirtle (Left him for the
Kingler seemed like he was going to make an appearance, but then Ash got all three starting Johto Pokemon as well (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile). Then Squirtle leaves, and Ash gets a Noctowl.
Kingler isn't seen until Master Quest (the Whirl Islands arc), when he needs two water Pokemon (and only had Totodile). Totodile gets dealt with by Misty's Poliwhirl, and Kingler makes short work of Poliwhirl, showing that he's awesome for a Pokemon that's never seen EVER. However, since Ash is a dumbass, he ends up getting pwned by Psyduck, cause Ash forgot his power. Dumbass. And of course, all of Ash's Pokemon get let go (instead of the 'Chu) for Advance, and Kingler is a distant memory, as many people ask "Wait, when the hell did Ash ever have one of those?"
Haunter: As with Haunter. Many people don't remember Haunter with good reason. Haunter was only there for two episodes, used to beat the crap out of Alakazam for the Spirit Badge. At least, I THINK it was the Spirit Badge. Ash for whatever reason, couldn't keep Haunter past Lavender Town and Saffron City, so it had to go again. Now, everyone who's caught a Haunter in Pokemon Red/FireRed/Blue/Yellow/LeafGreen knows that Haunter's great. I don't know, I never saw these episodes. Dammit, why did I delete the first season off of here?!
Tauros: I mean, COME ON! I even had THIS episode! Okay, okay, okay. So Ash and co were in the Safari Zone in Fushcia City, right? Well, Tauros (along with Chansey and Kangashkhan) were the hardest Pokemon to catch in there. Yet, Ash caught AN ENTIRE HERD. Problem was, there was too much gunplay for the episode to come to the states. Damn 4Kids. Anyway, I didn't see the episode. I only saw the first... two minutes of it where Ash gets a shotgun pointed at his face. Come to think of it, I didn't even get to see Beauty and the Beach, starring James' Inflated Boobs. D:
Either way, Tauros only makes two more appearances. Once in the Pokemon League episodes, and another after the Orange Islands series, when Ash is explaining to Tracey how he has a HELL OF ALOT of Tauros. Meh. We could do that by surfing on Cinnabar Island, trading them to Gold, and bam. WE could have a herd of Tauros.
Primeape: Motherfu--... Primeape was a GREAT Pokemon. Considering that James has that Victrebel that keeps trying to eat him, Primeape was dedicated to beating up Ash and ALL of his Pokemon. FUN FACT: For those who didn't see the episode where Primeape was caught, it was also the same episode where Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. FYI. Anyway, Ash and friends are going by a bunch of rocks, and they encounter a legion of Mankey. Now, Brock, being the breeder he is, offers Mankey some rice cakes. This attracts a Primeape, who will beat the shit out of you if you look him in the eyes. Problem is, the Primeape ends up stealing Ash's coveted hat (WHICH WE FIND OUT IS AN OFFICIAL POKEMON LEAGUE HAT!!1!1!1!111one), and Ash is dedicated to getting it back. Eventually Ash does, and Charmeleon fries the shit out of it, only out of spite. Charmeleon, forgetting that oops, I mean Ash saved it as a Charmander. Ash catches it, and since Butterfree left at this point, Primeape was kept. Ash's first action as a Primeape owner? Toss the ball in a hole with Team Rocket in it, promptly making sure that Team Rocket got the crap beat out of them.
This wasn't the only time we saw Primeape though. Later, there was a fighting Pokemon tournament. Being stupid and very reliant on the same one move two move Pikachu, he tries to teach Pikachu how to fight against a Hitmonchan (which is by far, my FAVORITE Kanto Pokemon). Failing miserably, he takes out Primeape, and Primeape is trained by... some guy, I don't remember. So in the tournament, Primeape advances to the finals. The Hitmonchan gets beaten by a Hitmonlee, commandeered by Team Rocket. Driven by the will to win, Primeape finally respects Ash as a trainer, and beats up Hitmonlee, despite the cheating. With a shiny new belt, Primeape
And finally... his friggin Bulbasaur: This will be short. Bulbasaur was like Pikachu. Pikachu only did Thunder-insert word here, and Agility. It very RARELY used Quick Attack, and it didn't learn Iron Tail until Advanced. Bulbasaur was there to do two moves. Razor Leaf and Vine Whip. The problem is this. Bulbasaur learned something between Pokemon- the First Series and Johto League Challenge. He learned SOLAR BEAM. DAMMIT, HE LEARNED SOLAR BEAM. But Ash forgot, and continued to only use it for Razor Leaf and Vine Whip. Moron. Also, Bulbasaur was like a leader to the Pokemon, second to Pikachu of course. It was kind of a smart-ass in the Giant Pokemon episode when they saw the Mechanical Venusaur. After seeing what happened when Squirtle talked to the Blastoise, said... well, something. Can't remember exactly what. Oh, it was in subtitles, so DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME. And in the First Movie, Bulbasaur cradled Togepi to sleep, AND defended the group against Snubbull's gang. VEEEEEEEEERY neglected in my opinion. Of course, Bulbasaur was also in charge of making sure that Ash would never fall down any large pits or anything. He's always been a protector, and showed that all the way when he helped unite the Bellossom and the Vileplume in one of the best episodes in Master Quest. Of course, he first got jumped by all of them, but that shows it's tenacity as well. Bulbasaur is great.
--
Misty- We all know the story behind Misty. In the game, the Cerulean City Gym Leader, gets pissed in Gold/Silver when you ruin her conversation with her boyfriend (Ash's only appearance in a Pokemon (insert-color) game. :P Kay, not really)(BONUS QUESTION! What was the ONLY Pokemon game that actually featured characters from the series?) Misty... well, pretty much was Ash's girlfriend throughout the entire series, although they denied it every time (including a pretty well done take when Brock stays with Professor Ivy (OMG NOT THAT NAME) and they're tied up in a blimp with Team Rocket. TR notices there's one missing, and starts making the accusations. :P). Wow, four parenthesis already. o_o Anyway, it's not revealed until Gotta Catch You Later (the final episode in Pokemon, at least according to me. I didn't watch anything after that), where Misty says "Now I know how you feel about me, Ash", pretty much alluding to that. They cool like that. AAAANYWAY, Misty's a water trainer, and has... well, only a couple neglected Pokemon.
Togepi: This is hilarious. Togepi was there near the end of the first season (when they were starting to introduce Pokemon from Johto into Kanto), and was the baby of the group. It's the egg Pokemon guys, come on. Togepi is neglected, cause of the hilarity of it's power. Togepi can do Metronome. Metronome made it's first appearance in the Mount Moon episode (what, the sixth Episode in all?) when the Clefairy did it to get rid of Team Rocket. Togepi was like Psyduck, in which no one really knew what was going on until it happened. Although they still didn't know. Misty had a clue about it, but it was put down when they remembered that Togepi was a baby. This is messed up. A Ditto can turn into a friggin cannon, but Togepi can't do an attack. Togepi of course, left with Misty at the end of the series (to me. Like I said, I don't watch Advance). However, in one of the few times Misty appeared in the Advanced series (Maybe Advanced Challenge, I don't know, I don't care) Togepi finally evolved into Togetic, and left. Eh.
Psyduck: Now, I'm going to love this one. Okay, many people don't remember when Misty got Psyduck. Misty got Psyduck way back when Ash challenged Koga for the Soul Badge. After winning it, they were under seige from Team Rocket. Psyduck was a Pokemon that was just there, and was getting abused from both sides. Psyduck got a massive headache, and used confusion something fierce. After that, Misty STILL didn't want it, and was mad when it tripped into one of her Pokeballs. After that, in like, four episodes since then, Psyduck would get a major headache and confuse it's way into destroying Team Rocket (and Ash's Kingler, as said before), and STILL would get no respect from Misty. One of the two Pokemon to randomly appear, and be very neglected (don't worry. Wobbuffet's coming up too).

Brock- Brock's the former Pewter City gym leader. Brock started as that, just like he was in the game, and gave it up to travel with Ash and become a breeder. Later, he stayed behind with Professor Ivy, and was promptly replaced by Tracey Sketchit (who's Pokemon are on this list as well). After the Orange Islands arc though (even after making a SLIGHT appearance in Pokemon 2000), Brock was dumped by Ivy (which was made fun of in the second to last Kanto episode) and was working alongside Delia's (I've only saw Pokemon: The First Movie and Pokemon 2000, so bear with me on that name) Mr. Mime doing housekeeping. Since Tracey wanted to help Professor Oak, Brock started traveling with Ash and the gang again. And since Advanced was MUCH lacking in masculinity (Traveling around with May and Max? Poor Ash), Brock appeared yet again. And this time, Max jumps on him and grabs his ears when he tries to work his mojo. Damn haters. Brock really doesn't have an affiliation anymore. He used to be devoted to Rock Pokemon, but... eh. Now he's all around. I'm going to pretty much do all his Pokemon up to Advance. Doesn't he have a Mudkip now?
Onix: Onix, Onix, Onix. The best Pokemon held for SO DAMN LONG, and never used. Onix could do it all, but never did. Remember the First Movie? Charizard's head was stuck in a pipe, and no less than eight Pokemon were trying to get him free. Onix was at the end of the rope. If it would've just jerked back a little, Charizard would be a giraffe, but it'd be out of the pipe. And this episode I was just watching with Ursaring. Onix did a tackle, and probably could've sent ANY Pokemon flying. Just tapped him though. Then later, he had to work with Arbok to get Ash and the Gang (including Team Rocket) to safety. Could've did it himself. Onix has only been beaten in battle twice, both from outside interference, more or less. Ash used the sprinklers in the Pewter City Gym to get Onix wet, and set him up for the ELECTRICSHOCK! And Meowth, knowing he couldn't use Fury Swipes, took some buckets of water and threw them at him. In the outdoors, unless people in the Pokemon world are as clumsy as they are around Ranma.
(We're going to pause for those who aren't familiar with Ranma 1/2. See, when Ranma Saotome or his father get splashed with cold water, they turn into a girl and panda respectively. Now, everytime Ranma needs to stay a guy, SOMEONE walking around with water trips or just tosses it away, and it always lands on Ranma. For example: Ranma's father told his wife that he would take Ranma and turn him into a MAN AMONG MEN. He later turned himself into a panda and his son into a girl. And so if she catches them, they have to commit Seppeku, or ritual suicide. And everytime Ranma's mom is around, instead of cold water, while Ranma is disguised as a girl by fear of death, they always trip and send hot water, which turns him back to a guy, on him. So there you go.)
Anyway, Onix is damn tough, and Brock should still be a Gym Leader.
Vulpix: And then there's this goddamn Vulpix. Brock got Vulpix from a Pokemon Groomer, nuff said. Now, Vulpix is like Growlithe. A fast fire Pokemon. But you'd be amazed at how little Vulpix appears. I mean I would understand if it was because there were other good Pokemon (like Onix) that Brock was using, but Brock for some reason, spent alot of time using Pineco. PINECO. You know, the Pine Cone that acts like a Voltorb? Bah. Vulpix should've been around more, especially since it had that amazing Fire Spin.
Geodude: See Onix. Seriously. Geodude is just a rock with arms, but a powerful rock with arms.
Zubat/Crobat: I didn't even see Zubat enough to see it evolve, much less into a Crobat. Now, Zubat was introduced in the Mount Moon episode (what, the sixth episode in al-- wait. I said that already), and was only used so Pidgeotto, and then Noctowl would have a companion to search with. I didn't see when Zubat evolved, nor do I care. Zubat should've bitten alot of Pokemon, or used that Sonic attack or whatever. What a waste of a Pokemon.
Charmander: You're probably saying this already. "Wait. Charmander was Ash's Pokemon!" True, but Brock was the one who cared for it the most. If only Ash wasn't so committed to being a trainer, and Brock wasn't so committed to being a breeder...

Quick look back for a second at a different Pokemon, one that you may have missed.
AJ's Sandshrew: Surprisingly, we have never seen AJ or his Sandshrew again. AJ appeared right after Ash won the Cascade Badge (I have the tape!), and Ash thought he was good. Ash and two out of three of his Pokemon (Butterfree and Pidgeotto. Pikachu didn't want ANYTHING to do with that Sandshrew) got their asses whupped, so it was no secret. AJ was phenomenal (excuse the pun). And so as it turned out, AJ cared about his Pokemon, but also put them through rigorous training. He got his 100th victory (without losing ONCE!) against Team Rocket (Number 99 was against Ash), and we haven't seen him since. Chances are, he's on his 1000th victory without losing once, and should be in the Pokemon Record Book by now. Sandshrew, still there. Sandshrew is fast, knows a mean dig move, and of course, is completely resistant to water (the only Sandshrew to be resistant). Even against these NEW Pokemon, Sandshrew could beat the shit out of anything. Ash and AJ could have a tremendous battle, as could Gary and AJ. But either way, Sandshrew could destroy them.

James- James should've never had to change. The "I WANNA BE TUXEDO MASK" James was great and to the point. The Team Rocket nowadays is way too comedic to be taken seriously. But in the first series, James could've easily have been my favorite character. He had a backstory in alot of places (Flunking out of Pokemon Tech and joining a Bicycle Gang, as well as being very rich), and until a bit in the series, had a understandable voice. James for the most part, was the best person in Team Rocket, considering Jessie can't Pokemon battle to save her life, and Meowth IS a Pokemon.
Victreebel: Let's face it. If James had a Weepinbell, he'd be better. Weepinbell was probably still with Butch and Cassidy, but we all know that by now. Victreebel for the most part is like Bulbasaur. Vinewhip. That's all it's good for. And Razor Leaf. Could probably be better, but isn't right now.

Jessie- Sucks.
Wobbuffet: See? She has a Wobbuffet, and doesn't use it that often. See, Wobbuffet is only a good defensive Pokemon. I'm sure that's not what Jessie wants. Wobbuffet, under like Misty or Brock, would be a good Pokemon. If Jessie used Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat (if it has it. I'm not sure it does) once against Pikachu, Ash wouldn't have a chance. But, like I said. Jessie sucks, so it doesn't matter.

Tracey Sketchit- Can kiss my ass. Seriously. He's a Pokemon sketcher, who wouldn't be in if Ash and Misty didn't care if anyone knew they were a couple.
Marill: Marill probably would've been Ash's Pokemon before long. Water Pokemon, looks like a mouse (hence why people called it Pikablu), yet fell into the hands of Tracey. Good thing about Tracey though is that he actually battles too. He had a Scyther and... something else. Marill would provide good back-up for the Snorlax/Pikachu combo. Sadly, that's all it was good for.
--
And finally, Gary Oak- The most evolved character in Pokemon. More than the Pokemon themselves. Gary started out an arrogant punk, started to slightly respect Ash when he saw him win the Earth Badge, was still kind of an arrogant punk in the Pokemon League arc, but matured greatly during the Orange Islands arc. See, Gary battles now caring for his Pokemon (Eevee), and before that, didn't care how he won, just as long as he did. (BONUS QUESTION NUMERO DOS! Was Gary in Pokemon: The First Movie?) Later on down the road, Gary and Ash became friends finally, and now they each share half of a Pokeball as a charm.
Eevee: Eevee is the least known, yet one of the best Pokemon in the series. And the fact that Gary didn't make it evolve makes it better. See, Gary beating Ash at the end of the first series was proof of that. Eevee uses agility, quick attack, and with the speed and companionship of Gary, it makes for a hard Pokemon to beat. Eevee gets a thumbs-up, and sadly, since we'll probably not see Gary again, he's gone now. Bah.

And that ends this. Why? CAUSE. No one else has any Pokemon we haven't seen thousands of times before, and that's still good. If anyone wants to fill me in on Advanced or Battle Frontier Pokemon though, go ahead and add on to it.
Answers:
1. Pokemon Puzzle League for the N64. You played as Ash with his three Pokemon of doom (Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur) against everyone. Team Rocket, Tracey, Gary, the Elite Four, and all the Gym Leaders and even Mewtwo. It was Panel de Pon on the '64, but with Pokemon. I can dig it.
2. Yes he was. I wouldn't bring it up if he wasn't would I, dumbass? He's in the montage of Mewtwo beating up on numerous Pokemon (including an Onix, but it's not BROCK'S Onix)
Video Game Review: Twinkle Star Sprites
Hello, gamers. It's been a while, hasn't it? Don't worry, my gaming prowess hasn't diminished completely, although when I do try new games, it takes a while to get used to. Recently, I've been trying a lot of new things, as I have come across a lot of Dreamcast games that I haven't played before. Yes, this is a Dreamcast game, but it was released in the Arcade and also on the Playstation 2.
Now understand this. This game was made by ADK. Don't know who ADK is? ADK was a company that created a lot of Neo-Geo games, but are mostly known for the World Heroes series of fighting games. And I didn't even know about World Heroes until recently, so it shows how much I know about it. It obviously wasn't successful, and ended up being a part of SNK, which went under a couple years later.
Twinkle Star Sprites was released in Arcades in 1996, and was re-released in Japan for the Dreamcast and Playstation 2. It's also on Gametap, for those of you that have that. It's a Shoot 'Em Up, and I'll try to string the story along from what I read on Wikipedia... or well, lack thereof. Wiki only tells me that it's a concept/parody of Sailor Moon. Good enough for me.
And then, there's the gameplay. Now, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a big fan of Shmups (Shoot em Ups). Well, some games I make exceptions to (Galaga if you can count that, Raiden, and games of the like), but the side-scrolling shmups I have a problem with (Parodius, Gradius, games of the like). Luckily, Twinkle Star Sprites is a game working vertically, not horizontally.
As is the case with many shmups, you have to shoot things. However, there's a twist added on here. Not only are you shooting things, but you're shooting to make combinations, needed to attack your opponent and deplete their health to 0 hearts. Yes, you have an opponent. Either way, you have to attempt to defeat that person, which is where I start to have problems.
The higher the chain, the more you can attack. However, it's hard to see if the attacks will land, considering you're concentrating on your screen. Take your eyes off of it for one second, and you'll pay the price, considering that most of the attacks they launch at you shave about 3 hearts off of your 5 heart gauge. But you have more to worry about than incoming attacks. You also have to watch out for the enemies that you're shooting at, but don't worry too much about them, as they take about one-half of your hearts.
There are also boss attacks that pop-up for you or your enemy if one of you does well. Generally, these boss attacks will destroy your opponent or you if you're not skilled. Yours also has a side-effect. You generally want to look at it, and like I said, you can't look away. In addition to your normal fire, you also have a charge attack, and bombs that do attacks as well. Be careful, as many times, bombs don't give you any chains.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of this game. Sometimes, the shots are too slow for the enemies, and not all the enemies go in a formation where they curve back up at you. Also, there's almost no guarantee that the attacks actually hit the opponent. Like I said, boss attacks generally do damage, but the CPU has a tendency to well, not only have better charge time than you, but to also be better at dodging and attacking than you are as well, making the game a bit unbalanced.
Obviously, many gamers would feel like this isn't a good game for them, considering the cutsey graphics. It still works pretty well as a shmup, but the general competition part of it is a bit tampered with. Still, it's not really my type of game, but you as the gamer may have better luck with it than I do.
Beats of Rage Mod Review: Battletoads
Oh look! I'm reviewing ANOTHER Battletoads game! Truth is though, for this game, you can't blame me AT ALL. I've played Beats of Rage. I've played the mods. This is the ultimate Beats of Rage game. First things first. I'm using OpenBOR, and it has four-player support. Yes, it works on Xbox too, which is f'in awesome. Now, let's get into the mod. You can choose between five characters. Oh what, you think they're going to restrict it to just the 'Toads? Hells to the naw. If you want to learn about the Toads, read the Battletoads arcade review. Like the Battletoads arcade game, surprisingly, ALL THE TOADS ARE PLAYABLE! They even have some new moves, or at least moves I haven't seen yet. Either way, the main attraction that this mod brings to me is...
Badamn. Sketch Freakin' Turner. If you don't know who Sketch Turner is, it's time for me to tell you a little story. Back in the day, Beat 'em Ups were great, and Sega always had the edge up on Nintendo as far as Beat 'em Ups go. Nintendo got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, which granted, are very good, but when it came down to it, Sega made their own, and they were normally superior. Many people may not remember Comix Zone, as opposed to the immensely popular Streets of Rage games. However, the best Beat 'Em Up in my opinion was Comix Zone. It was released on the Genesis, released in Great Britain on the Game Boy Advance, and most recently released on the Wii on the Virtual Console. Also, there's this zombie dude, I don't know. Now, I'm playing alone, so obviously, it won't be as fun as if I was playing with three other people. Eh...
Now, there are five games here. Just for the sole purpose of showing off, I'm going to play Comix. And obviously, I'm going to use Sketch Turner.
As you can see, it's pretty straight forward. That is, you walk forward and you beat the crap out of people. There are a multitude of options here, and you never get tired of beating the crap out of people. Now, of course, where would a Battletoads game be without the difficulty? You get five lives, plus four countinues. Even with that, it's tough to make it through most games. The Comix game is easy only because you don't have to do much walking up and down, which can be a major factor in Beat em Ups (and if you have godawful accuracy, like yours truly).
Each of the characters have what was called in Final Fight, an Extra Joy move, or Special Move if you will. This CAN put some distance between you and enemies, but watch your health. Everytime you use it, your health goes down.
In another game, Zombie Party, your job is to save the city from Zombies. Now, this DOES have you walking up and down, so it can be a real drag. Like I said, my main problem is that I'm all alone...
As you can see, it is super easy to get your ass kicked in this game if you're playing by yourself. So if I were you, I'd get some friends together and mess these zombies up. What are YOU waiting for?
Rematch is the story of the Toads attempting to make it to see the ULTIMATE FUCKING REMATCH. Ivan "I Must Break You" Drago vs. The Italian Stallion, Rocky Balboa! I don't know why people would try to attack a bunch of Toads and/or a Comic artist and/or a zombie, but hey, it makes an amusing premise.
Besides, NO ONE gets between Rash and Rocky Balboa. Not even random street punks.
Here's another neat thing about this game. When you grab your enemy (which is done by just walking up to them), you can perform a multitude of moves by pressing up and attack, down and attack, or just attacking. Here, I just pressed attack, and it just gave me the giant fist. The down attack gives me the claws (meaning that if I was Zitz, it would be the DRILLA KILLA) and the up attack gives me the giant boot. Wait a minute, did I say giant fist? I'm Rash! Rash doesn't punch! No, I'm not nitpicking, I'm just being stupid.
Chances are, the first game you'll play (which is the first game on the list) is T.Bird Rescue. Professor T. Bird gets birdnapped, and it's up to you to get him back! This is the stage with all the rats and stuff from the Battletoads games, so it makes alot more sense than Rematch, Zombie Party, and Comix. Although you know, they're all awesome. Oh, and since I'm Zitz, before I forget...
DRILLA KILLA!
Okay, now with that out of the way, let's talk music for a bit. From what I hear, none of the music itself is original, they're taken from Battletoads games. The sound however, is great (if you're using a version of OpenBOR that HAS great sound). The rats make noises when they try to get up again, the attacks have their own sound (Such as the sound of a drill), and so on and so forth.
Oh, and look at this! You can use weapons too! This is awesome in MANY MANY ways. I love using weapons in games like this.
Finally, it's time for Revenge. In an un-toadlike manner, they're going to get a little Payback on the Dark Queen for kidnapping T.Bird. As you can see, I'm Bub, the zombie. I don't know why Bub, the Zombie is in this game, but who am I to complain?
As you can plainly see, there are alot of enemies. None of them at all are better than the Zombie attack that you get in Zombie Party. Zombie Party is obviously my favorite game, only because it's really challenging, and I would expect really shines when you get more people to play.
In the end, Battletoads, the Beats of Rage mod, is one of the best I've played. This is how Beat 'Em Ups SHOULD be.
Movie (?) Review: Super Mario Bros: The Great Quest
There has been three Super Mario Bros. shows. In America.
There has been one ultra-awful Super Mario Bros. Movie. In America.
There has never been another animated show since 1992 or so based on Super Mario Bros. In America.
"HEY! SHUT UP! Only I'm allowed to say that repeatedly!"
Whatever. Anyway, over in the land of the rising sun, they made something that even those dorks in America wouldn't get their hands on. It was called, Super Mario Bros: The Great Mission to save Princess Peach. See, I didn't know that Princess Peach was called Peach even before SM64, because she was called Princess Toadstool here until '96. Guess Japan was STILL more advanced than we are, even back in the day.
So here's what I understand from what I've watched so far. Mario himself loves to play Nintendo. Luigi however, wants to get some goddamn sleep, and he's not gonna get that with Mario playing the game so loudly. Guess that's what Nintendo meant by PLAY IT LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUD!
So while Mario is playing, he sees some blond chick in a pink dress fighting off a bunch of turtles. With no where to go, the blond girl jumps through the TV, right into Mario's lap. Why can't blond girls wearing pink jump through MY TV? And then all the turtles and Lakitus and Bullet Bills all follow her, with Mario and the chick not doing anything about it, until a Bullet Bill actually hits them. What moron.
So I assume, since I don't speak Japanese, that the girl introduces herself as Peach. Peach's monologue was interrupted by Bowser appearing on the TV. Then Bowser's big Koopa ass appears, licking his lips, knowing that he's 'bout to get some of the Princess. Mario, reluctantly, challenges Bowser, before cowering behind the Princess. What a pussy. Like I said earlier, I don't understand Japanese. Peach says something, perhaps offering sex, and Mario jumps right back up. At this point in the series, Mario's about two times smaller than Bowser, so all Bowser does is touch Mario with his finger and Mario is sent to the basement of his house. The Princess then starts throwing everything at Bowser, but Bowser still captures her. Bowser and Peach go back into the TV, and the screen says Game Over, playing the Mario game over screen. Mario sucks at this game.
Luigi's back out again, and is wondering why Mario is beating up the TV, since they still have payments on it or something. I don't know, this video should have subtitles. Mario then possibly responds with "This giant turtle and hot princess chick came out of the TV, I have to get in there!" Luigi, unsurprisingly, bursts out laughing, and goes back to bed. Mario is left with some jewel that the Princess had, and the theme music of the movie starts playing. The video ends. This movie seems better and makes more sense than Super Mario Bros. the movie.
After the credits, we get a shot of a grocery sto-- wait wait wait. Mario and Luigi are plumbers, not grocers! Also (you can't see it, since I can't get screenshots off of YouTube), Luigi's colors are NOT Blue and Yellow! It's green! Anyway, Mario is all sad because the Princess got kidnapped by a giant turtle and now he has some jewel. Some old woman comes up to him asking him for some stuff (I don't know what she was asking for dammit, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE!), and he gives her gasoline, polish, boots, a Turnip (from Super Mario USA? :O) And a broom. She angrily storms out, and Luigi wants to know what's up. He all of a sudden sees the jewel in Mario's hands. And in a cartoon manner, Luigi runs over and wants to look at the jewel. I assume that Luigi wants to sell the jewel so he can pursue a dream job. Mario say nay. Luigi takes out a book and points to the jewel in question. Luigi then says "SELL!" Mario says "NO!" "SELL!" "NO!" SELL!" "NO!" At least, that's what I think. Mario makes a call... using only THREE NUMBERS! Who's he calling? The Police? Maybe they can provide me with subtitles. I don't know who it is, but whoever it is yells at Mario, to the point where he's delirious.
Some dog comes in and starts talking. He sees the jewel in Mario's hand and beats the crap out of him. He takes the jewel and runs off. Mario gives chase, and when Luigi sees this, he grabs a shovel and a knapsack and runs after them. Eventually, they all go down a pipe (Why? They aren't plumbers, they're grocers! Oh wait). At the bottom of the pipe, some old dude with a Merlin-type beard welcomes them,TO THEIR DOOM. They find SOMETHING out, and start dancing and going YAY.
Merlin says something, and it doesn't break their stride. He says something else (most likely about Peach), and Mario stops dancing, while Luigi continues. CUT TO A SCENEFROM WAR OF THE WORLDS WHERE THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM AND THE KINOPIOS ARE UNDER ATTACK! Yes, I said Kinopios, not Toads. It appears that this is what Merlin is telling them. Two seconds later, I find out that this video was JUST posted two days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGAZKOAIDJOASHJR
Ahem... that means that probably more are on the way, and I will update as follows. But let's make it through this one.
Mario is reminded of Peach being stolen by Bowser. The old guy tells him that she is a PRINCESS. This rocks poor Mario's world. Soon after, we see Peach crying with a big-ass ball and chain on her arm. You know, I thought originally that they were supposed to stay on someone's ankle, but what do I know? Mario gets pissed, and for an unknown reason, turns into Yosemite Sam, except dressed like someone from a mexican western, but still shooting off all the guns. The old guy seems surprised that some small fry like M-M-M-MARIO~ is going to try to take on Bowser. Merlin starts saying something SCARY and all of a sudden, Mario is back in his plumber clothes. No, that's not related to the story at all. All of a sudden, we start seeing the three key-elements of Mario: Mushrooms, Flowers, and Stars. Merlin, I believe, is telling Mario about the powers that they each have. Mario is more encouraged to go after the princess, and tells his younger brother to follow him. Luigi, I assume, asks what's in it for him if he rescues the princess. Merlin responds with "Bitch, do it and they'll probably give you a reward." Luigi chases after Mario at this point. Never knew Luigi was money-hungry.
After a while, Mario, Luigi, and the blue dog who followed them, are gathered by a fire. Luigi seems to be hungry and complaining about it. Mario is dreaming about having a feast, which can only be compared to his dream from Mario Sunshine. Luigi gets mad because Mario's dream looks so delicious, so he smashes it with a hammer. He needs to tell me how to do that. Luigi then begins to wonder if the dog would taste good with a little Oreagno. The dog bites Weege's nose. Behind the rocks, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBAS appear. Luigi asks the Goombas if they have food, and the Goombas probably say (in a, if it was in english, Mob type accent) "Oh yeah, we can take you to food. Trust me." Luigi freaks, and joins them. Luigi starts laughing loud enough for Mario to hear, and as it turns out, Luigi found Mushrooms! Mario says "These aren't the shrooms you're looking for", but it doesn't reach Luigi, who has obviously gone out of his mind. Weege eats some, and then starts crying. We find out that they're mood shrooms, cause Mario shoves one down his throat, and Luigi gets very very angry. Then Luigi goes through all three of the mood swings, while Mario gets stolen by some kind of Paratroopa. It says "HEY KIDLETS, IT's FEEDING TIME", And Mario throws mushrooms at all three of them. They, like Luigi, starts laughing. The Paratroopa finds Luigi and brings him up too. Luigi seems to be back to normal, as he's pecked by the birds and speaking in a coherant matter. For some stupid reason, Mario bites Luigi's nose, and starts acting like he's been poisoned. Mario explains something to the giant Paratroopa, who gives him an odd look. The birds start chirping, and the Paratroopa gives in. Mario starts explaining to Luigi, who gets mad and storms away. Well... when you storm away from a nest... things don't go so well.
Luigi now wants Mario to save him, wah. The blue dog points to a crystal on top of the cliff, and as it turns out, it's a mushroom! Mario figures it's the shroom he's looking for, so he starts using his fantastic plumber powers to scale the mountain and get the shroomsicle. The rock breaks, and Luigi screams "MARIO!". However, Mario uses his super powers to grab onto the ledge of whatever's left of the rock and grab the shroomsicle! And then, coins come out of the hole that the shroom was in. Luigi grabs his hat and grabs the coins. After that, Mario falls and lands in Luigi's hat. In the end, they all start falling.
I don't know what happens next, because there's a giant lapse between then, so let me pick up wherever the final clip starts.
In a dream sequence, Mario somehow changes into a Tuxedo and dances with Princess Peach. They sit on a fountain, and Luigi digs himself into the sequence. Mario and Luigi are in jail for some reason (they probably were caught by the Mushroom Kingdom DEA with all those Mushrooms). Mario tells Luigi to go away and let him at least get to second base with Peach, and then the blue dog appears. Then Mario says some stuff, and the clip ends.
I'm currently in the process of actually getting this movie (in the not legal way), so expect a full review then.
EDIT FROM NOW: Well, the entire movie is up on YouTube for the taking, so I need to jump on that. I'll get around to doing that, as well as posting screenshots and so on and so forth.
There has been one ultra-awful Super Mario Bros. Movie. In America.

Video Game Review: Battletoads
There are alot of quarter-suckers out there. Smash TV, Total Carnage, and let's face it dammit, every single Capcom fighting game ever. There's only one problem with this list: none of these games are Battletoads. 
Battletoads is notorious for being too damn hard on ANY system. If you could beat the original Battletoads on NES (with no warps), then you would be considered legendary. Alot of people say that if you could beat Contra without using the 30 lives code, you're God. Well, there's a bit of a problem with that. Either way, a plethora of tough Battletoads games came after. Battletoads and Double Dragon (which was one giant step upon Technos' creation, before DD would eventually do itself in with DD3), Battletoads in Battlemaniacs for SNES which was super-hard, and two games on Game Boy, which were more and less the same as the NES game. There was also a Genesis version of the NES version as well. What's amazing to me is that all the games after the original but before this one came out in 1993. There was even a Battletoads TV show! Well in 1994, knowing that the Battletoads were drifting away in small doses, Rare pulled out one more game, with the help of Electronic Arts. And thus, Battletoads the Arcade Game (Which I'm told by Wikipedia, is called Super Battletoads) was created. Let's not beat around the bush. This game is hard. However, since you can possibly beat the game if you have five dollars worth of quarters, and one other (or two if your arcade has i-- okay, if you alter the dipswitches in MAME) friend playing, that makes it a bit easier than Battletoads on any other console. So for those who don't know, there are three 'Toads. 
Rash- Real Name: Dave Shar. The cool one. He also appears to be the Sanji of the group, as he's rarely seen throwing a punch. He's known for his sunglasses, and later down the road, his bandana on his arm. Rash is the only character to be playable in every game, although in Battlemaniacs, he's only playable if you're second player. Also, he's not playable in Ragnarok's World on Gameboy, but I'm sure not many people have played it enough to care. Personally, Rash is okay to me. He's fast and like I said, kicks, not punches. 
Zitz- Real Name: Morgan Ziegler. The Brains of the group, and the leader apparently. You know, that comes as a surprise to me, as Rash would seem to be perfect for leader, although he seems to be the clown of the group. Zitz uses machines, and has one of the greatest attacks in the game: The Drill Arm, or as the game calls it: The Drilla Killa. Excuse me, I didn't know Zitz was so Gangsta. Zitz was the only Toad playable in Ragnarok's World (which eliminate's that game's brownie points along with the fact that Rash is out of action), as well as Player 2 in the first game. Now I know what you're thinking. WTF, Zitz is Bluish-Green! That's Pimple in that there first game! Well, Pimple was originally supposed to be green, not tan. However, it happens. Also, he got knocked out and was out of action in Battlemaniacs, which confuses the hell out of me. Oh well. He's once again, okay. He doesn't care if he uses punches or kicks, he just normally uses machines to fight. 
Pimple- Real Name: George Pie. Despite the stupid name, The Muscle of the group. He's my personal favorite, but while he does alot of damage, he fights without any flash or strategy, making him take damage or something like that. Honestly, there's something against Pimple within Rare. Pimple was the first Toad taken out, which means that he wasn't playable in the first game. Also, in the game no one cares about, he wasn't playable either. He was however playable in Battlemaniacs, as Player One. By the way, let me just say this. Battletoads/Double Dragon does not do justice to the Battletoads. On every console, the toads look like their NES forms, making Pimple seem puny. He's the exact opposite. He's big, even for a human. Now, as you can tell, besides B/DD, this is the only Battletoads game that features every single Toad as a playable character. That's good, cause once again, THIS GAME IS HARD. But you know what else? This game is bloody too. 
Hell yes. You can see the blood spraying around when Pimple drops his anvil foot on a rat, or when Zitz DA DRILLA KILLA right here. So, story. Uh... well, basically Dave, Morgan, and George were roommates how were chosen to test a game called Battletoads (breaking the fourth wall here?) made by a guy named Silas Volkmire (who was only in Battlemaniacs if you were good enough to get to the final level). The game seemed to be some virtual reality game, which would've been awesome if the Virtual Boy didn't suck. However, they got suspicious, and fell into a trap which turned them into real humanoid toads. For some reason, the Dark Queen (who is the HOTTEST main villain in any game, however tying hottest Arcade game character with B. Orchid from Killer Instinct) wants the Toads to work for her. The Toads must've used the name "Dark Queen" for what it's worth, and thus declined and decided to FIGHT AGAINST HER~! And thus despite getting EVERYTHING thrown at them, the Toads slap her around in every game. This game is awesome. Now, the gameplay isn't different from any other beat em up. There's the three punches, then smash hit. There's also Claw (Rash)/Drill (Zitz)/ANVIL(Pimple) them while they're down. And finally, the run and attack, which works to your advantage. There are also two vehicle levels: the jetpack level, and this flying car level or whatever it's supposed to be. They're fun in small doses, yo. You have five bosses to dispatch of: Slaughter, Karnath, a Robo-Rat, Big Blag (who's marked as Unknown) and Robo Manus. Each stage is rather large, and every boss after Slaughter is tough. The graphics are great, basically a larger version of Battlemaniac's sprites, with Zitz's sprites added. Like every Beat-Em-Up, the game is fun when there are more people playing, and like every Battletoads game, you can hurt your friends while playing, so be careful. The music is catchy and expected of a Battletoads game. Is there a replay value? If you support your local arcade, then yes, deposit your twenty dollar allowance in the machine and make the owner happy. Also, there IS a score, so how high can you go? All in all, the send-off to the Battletoads series is awesome, and easily the best game in the series. Maybe it's because it's easy. Who knows anymore?
Battletoads is notorious for being too damn hard on ANY system. If you could beat the original Battletoads on NES (with no warps), then you would be considered legendary.

Battletoads/Double Dragon does not do justice to the Battletoads. On every console, the toads look like their NES forms, making Pimple seem puny. He's the exact opposite. He's big, even for a human. Now, as you can tell, besides B/DD, this is the only Battletoads game that features every single Toad as a playable character. That's good, cause once again, THIS GAME IS HARD. But you know what else? This game is bloody too. Hell yes. You can see the blood spraying around when Pimple drops his anvil foot on a rat, or when Zitz DA DRILLA KILLA right here. So, story. Uh... well, basically Dave, Morgan, and George were roommates how were chosen to test a game called Battletoads (breaking the fourth wall here?) made by a guy named Silas Volkmire (who was only in Battlemaniacs if you were good enough to get to the final level). The game seemed to be some virtual reality game, which would've been awesome if the Virtual Boy didn't suck. However, they got suspicious, and fell into a trap which turned them into real humanoid toads. For some reason, the Dark Queen (who is the HOTTEST main villain in any game, however tying hottest Arcade game character with B. Orchid from Killer Instinct) wants the Toads to work for her. The Toads must've used the name "Dark Queen" for what it's worth, and thus declined and decided to FIGHT AGAINST HER~! And thus despite getting EVERYTHING thrown at them, the Toads slap her around in every game. This game is awesome. Now, the gameplay isn't different from any other beat em up. There's the three punches, then smash hit. There's also Claw (Rash)/Drill (Zitz)/ANVIL(Pimple) them while they're down. And finally, the run and attack, which works to your advantage. There are also two vehicle levels: the jetpack level, and this flying car level or whatever it's supposed to be. They're fun in small doses, yo. You have five bosses to dispatch of: Slaughter, Karnath, a Robo-Rat, Big Blag (who's marked as Unknown) and Robo Manus. Each stage is rather large, and every boss after Slaughter is tough. The graphics are great, basically a larger version of Battlemaniac's sprites, with Zitz's sprites added. Like every Beat-Em-Up, the game is fun when there are more people playing, and like every Battletoads game, you can hurt your friends while playing, so be careful. The music is catchy and expected of a Battletoads game. Is there a replay value? If you support your local arcade, then yes, deposit your twenty dollar allowance in the machine and make the owner happy. Also, there IS a score, so how high can you go? All in all, the send-off to the Battletoads series is awesome, and easily the best game in the series. Maybe it's because it's easy. Who knows anymore?
Street Fighter Alpha Anthology Review
(Written a long time ago for the SSS message boards)
On July 22nd, it'll be one year since I got my Xbox
(and since then, I have only played 5 perfectly working games on it).
While I may not like the Xbox, I'll give it credit for one thing: If it
wasn't for it, I wouldn't have been a Capcom fighting game fan. Enter
Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I played it, and automatically wanted to play MvC
again. Then, I learned about the Dreamcast's... shall we say,
capabilities, and instantly got to play MvC 2 again (I'm still trying
to buy every character and beat my high score), and play MvC for the
first time since... the year it came out.
Then, when I got my
new computer, things got interesting. I got a MAME emulator and for the
first time in my life, played a Street Fighter Alpha game (Which of
course, was SFA3). Since then, I have played almost every Capcom
fighting game (except for the Vampire Savior series) that uses the
CPS-2 (or 3?) engine. When I got my new PS2 two days ago, the first
game I wanted to play on it was Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, but had
to settle for... I can't remember the name of the game. Anyway, I've
pretty much completed every aspect of the collection, so let me break
it down for you.
Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dreams
I
played this after I played SFA3, and I was first shocked at how slow
the game was. Then, I amped the speed, so it was okay in the end. I
played it a couple times since then (First to get it out of the way,
then to beat it with Guy), and I believe back in 1994, I would've been
blown away by it, considering I was brought up on Mortal Kombat.
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Still,
SFA2 was better than the first. I'll probably never appreciate the
newer characters (Considering I only play with Ryu, Guy, and Charlie),
but it was interesting to see how many of the characters looked and
played outside of the ISM system.
Quick Note at this point: I'm
one of the many that uses MUGEN on the web, and of course, after seeing
the amazing Evil versions of characters (Trust me: Go to YouTube and
look for Evil Ryu or Evil Ken), you could imagine my disappointment at
Evil Ryu. He's just a pallete swap. None of his moves are even
different either (Unless he can do the Shun Goku Satsu). No pallete
changes there or nothin. To tell you the truth, Akuma doesn't impress
me either...
Street Fighter Alpha 2: Gold
For
some reason, I can't get the Custom Combo to work in SFA2, so for that
reason alone, I like SFA2: Gold better. At the first glance, there is
nothing special about SFA:2G, but when you press start on characters on
the Character Select Screen, then you have something. All the Super
Street Fighter 2 characters available have SSF2 versions of themselves,
and if you press start twice on Bison, you can get the only COMPLETELY
(I say completely because there's also EX versions of characters, Evil
Ryu, and Shin Gouki) secret character of the game, Cammy.
Street Fighter Alpha 3
I
can go on and on about SFA3. I just recently planned how to use ISMs on
certain characters, and I'm still planning on how to kick Shadaloo-ISM
Bison's ass (I beat the game, but lost against Bison). All the
characters are here from the other two games, including some new faces
(The only other character I use besides the three mentioned above:
Cody) and secret characters, Balrog and the Dolls (Juni and Juli). As
you may have noticed by the sentence before the last one, all you have
to do to beat the game is beat the ninth person you fight (at least,
that's how it worked for me). Then, you fight Bison (or Ryu, if you ARE
Bison), and win or lose, the game ends. Either way, Street Fighter
Alpha 3 is the best game on the collection if you're playing by
yourself. BUT WAIT!
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!
If
you DO beat SFA3, you're presented with a secret game: Street Fighter
Alpha 3 Upper. Basically, the same game except you choose two styles.
The second is the standard ISM selection. The first are other fighting
styles. Normal, which is the normal selection (Obviously), Saiyko,
which is pretty much limiting your abilities, Mazi, which is a damage
mulitplier pretty much, and Classic, which basically breaks you down to
the level of Street Fighter II. There's also the hidden Shadaloo-ISM,
which is a very souped-up version of X-ISM (and trust me, if you're
playing with Bison, you're pretty much unstoppable with that damn
Psycho Crusher). Also, you get a couple new characters: Guile, and the
other three New Challengers from SSF2 that... aren't well, Cammy. Also,
the three hidden characters are added to the normal roster.
PocketSUPER GEM FIGHTER: MINI MIX!
Street
Fighter: Chibi Style! Frankly, I like Pocket Fighter as a name anyway.
Pretty much, you know, an easier and more arcadey version of Street
Fighter, with Darkstalkers characters tacked on. Well, that's it for
the collection. OR IS IT? Once again...
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!
Hyper Street Fighter Alpha
Holy
crap! The second Hyper Street Fighter game, and it's WAY better than
the other one (Hyper Street Fighter II: Anniversary Edition). Like the
other Hyper, you can choose any character, also from any game in the
series. However, there are some add-ons to it.
-I'm not sure if this
is in SFA3: Upper, but if you choose a SSF2 character in Alpha 3 style
and give them the Classic style, then the Classic stage music for that
character will play.
-Best part of the game: SFA3 ISMs. Now I know
what you're thinking. But the ISMs are in SFA3, so why is it the best
part of THIS game? Easy. If you hold down start while selecting the
first fighting style of a SFA3 character, and press left or right, the
cursor will disappear, and boom. You have a brand new ISM. The ISMS
boil down to this.
If you select Normal, then you get Vampire Mode, making it a little like Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers).
If
you select Mazi, you get Street Fighter 3 mode, which gives you the
parrying system (along with effects added to Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and
Akuma).
If you select Saiyko, then you get Street Fighter II:
Champion Edition mode, destroying some Street Fighter Alpha 3 rules
from Classic mode. Catch: You can only use characters from SFII'.
There's also a Classic Mode, which makes things a bit like the Versus Series. This one's a little hard to describe, so I won't.
In the end, Street Fighter Alpha Anthology is pretty much worth
it. Street Fighter fans will not be disappointed. Damn Marvel and
Activision for making it so Capcom can't release any Vs. games on a
complilation...

Expositionexpositionexposition
About a year ago, a friend of mine and another one of our friends founded a website. It bombed, except I was doing a good job of updating, as I reviewed games and just wrote about random crap. Well, that website went down the tubes, so I started my own. That went down the tubes as well. So now that I think about it, what would be good, like a website, where I could post all my writings? LiveJournal? Been there, done that, still doing it to an extent. Where else? GreatestJournal? Dead, or at least going to die. Freewebs? That defeats the purpose.
Then I remembered that another friend of mine has somewhat of a ranting/reviews journal set up on Blogspot, and there you go. SO, what the hell do I write? For a large amount of time, nothing. Depends on if I'm bothered about something and someone, by the grace of god, wants to hear it. Also, if I feel like reviewing something, I'll do that too. I'm all about reviewing. As a matter of fact, I'm going to post every review I've done so far on here to begin with, so you people can be amused while I set things up.
Righty-o, that'll do it for me. I have something I feel like writing about, but I'll probably procrastinate and not write. HOORAY FOR LAZINESS.
