What really matters is what your other team has more of a problem with. If you team is weaker to dragon flying of ground and or to steels then you should pick accordingly. Otherwise I would go with ice punch as the opponents ground types (particularly landurus and it's super effective STAB sand forced earthquake ) will benefit from your sandstorm making the far more dangerous.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Region locking... Something I will never 'get'. Why would a company do something that limits sales of legit copies of games? Now I might miss another Fire Emblem game (3DS version)logicalfrank

I always wonder this myself. I assume it is so they can price games differently in different regions. If, say, they think Europe should pay more for such and such a game, they don't want someone buying up a bunch of US copies for a relatively cheap price and re-selling them in Europe below the European price. It seems to me though that this only has a negative effect on gamers and the positives for the game company seem relatively small in comparison. Maybe it is just fun for them to be a pain in the ass.

[QUOTE="meetroid8"]Considering how poorly it was selling when it was at $250, more expensive hardware likely could have killed the system.Audacitron

It also had one awful launch lineup. The price cut was probably a bit more drastic than necessary. Once they got the price below $200, it becomes a much more attractive proposition. But Mario games and Christmas were what really turned their fortunes around.

And on the contrary, slightly better hardware and one or two visually spectacular games might have generated enough excitement to overcome the increased price.

Remember, one of the difficulties they were having was getting the message out that it was more than just a DS with a new gimmick screen. If they'd had something that visibly went far beyond the capabilities of the DS, that might have done the trick.

No. I liked SS alot but the world, while cool in concept, was kinda lousy in execution. There weren't alot of cool places to go, which is a huge change from previous Zeldas. Granted it gave the game a more ARPG feel with the "hub" world, but I still prefer worlds like Wind waker, Ocarina, Majora with alot of things to find and do.

I'd like to see another Zelda set in the world of Termina... I have a feeling there are more stories to tell about that world.
