And she's in my Silver version, so I don't think she'll be fighting any new Pokemon anytime soon XD

...jeez I don't put this much thought into pokemon

I play it mainly for the adventure and exploration and sense of accomplishment. If I beat the game and, like in Emerald, I don't get any new place to explore, I am bummed. I don't give two shits about a battle tower. I want to explore.

I gave my Gallade Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Psycho Cutter, and Swords Dance because they are all swordy moves and Gallade has swordy arms

I got rid of Gardevoir's Shadow Ball in exchange for Attract because other pokemon should be falling in love with her at first sight.

I gave my Crobat Cross Poison and X Cutter because his wings make a X

I gave my Gyarados Ice Fang because GRAAA FUCKING BITE YOU GRAAA

this is my logic

and I had a lot of fun beating Diamond/Pearl

[Kimiko]

That sounds like my kind of illogic, Noodles. I play games for the exploration too, stats be damned.
In the EOs I put together the parties I had because the classes fit the characters' personalities, not because they were the best for offing FOEs.

I hate this argument. It always happens. Always.

I like numbers. It's my deal. With the way things were worded, I thought we were going down that route since numbers and stats came into play. Pretty much anything I say comes with some metagame / "NUMBERS?!" kind of bias.

Edit: Not that I find a problem with a roleplaying or whatever else kind of outlook but if we start talking about what is "good" or "better" or any other kind of analysis ... sorry, numbers matter. If it's a "good enough" kind of deal or "fits character" ... that's a different story.

[noodles]

woah what I didn't mean to sound like I was arguing, I was into the whole strategic number thing at first but...man I usually play games just for story, you know

[scy]

Hrm ... argument was probably the wrong word. Just meant I hate when the whole, "hey hey, numbers? I'm not numbers fuck that lol roleplaying" or whatever bullshit. It always happens. Always.

Edit: That and the whole, "I play for fun," or things along the same line. Someone always says it >>.

[noodles]

well because most people play games in general (even strategy) for that reason

you are a minority

[Maxine MagicFox]

Not that I'm part of the argument but... *sigh* I'm the type that Scy hates....

EO is prolly the only game that I actually TRY to pay attention to numbers....

[noodles]

yes same here

well unless it's an actual strategy game

[Kimiko]

Aw, it's okay, Scy. Some people just like playing to figure out the formulas behind the game. Others prefer not to think of the numbers that make the story tick. To each their own.

Say, this reminds me of the . What are y'all's gamer types? Mine is ESAK.

[scy]

Oh no, I have no problems with THEM ... I have problems with that point being brought UP. It's like ... I don't have fun when I play or something.
