Should I get Pokemon Soul Silver or Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story.

PhazonBlazer

M&L:BIS is much funnier, but Soulsilver is longer and have more replay value. It's pretty easy to get into the thousands of hours playing any pokemon game.

The first one.

The two last cases were the best in all series.

Pokemon Platinum: 128 hours

TWEWY: 106 hours

Jump Ultimate Stars: 90 hours

Even then, i've replayed Pokemon platinum from the start twice, so yeah..

Anything i am missing?

PS im not into FF

Luigi12901

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (haven't played it yet, but it's the favorite adventure game on DS)
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

I'd also add Yoshi's Island DS to that list. Very entertaining and challenging in spots.

How come no one said a thing about Mario Kart?

I don't play on my DS much, but I do use it whilst on trips/holidays etc and it has been a while since I last bought a DS game.

I want either a tycoon-like game (I have theme park but am bored of it's repetitiveness); my top choice so far is Sim City Creator, or a point-and-click like adventure game (I own Hotel Dusk. Something similar would be nice).

Suggestions?

Pont'n'click Adventure? Have you ever played Broken Sword:Shadows of the Templars?

im a 24 year old gamer looking for a good long game. the last game that I couldnt put down was Order of Ecclesia.

im thinking either Devil Survivor or The World Ends With You. Which of those is better fit for someone my age? Any other suggestions?

If you're a completionist, TWEWY if much longer. I've played it more than 100 hours. If you're not, it still will last a good 50 hours.

All I have discussed is plausibility. Primeape is an exaggerated take on a real ape; a caricature. It takes the basic traits of a real animal and exaggerates it to create something foreign, but also something grounded a bit. Your example is flawed; I could easily do the same thing, cherry pick and/or limit my test group, and mention only what helps back up my own case.

My Primeape example is based a lot on realism, but that's only because that's the Pokemon you mentioned in your own post. Not all Pokemon are based purely on realism. Charmander is plausible, in a sense, because most people already know the idea of what a dragon is, and while most people do consider it fantasy, it is a fantasy many people are willing to suspend their disbelief for.

Other Pokemon may not be based on myth or on realism, but their entire concept may not be too strange and exaggerated to be considered implausible within its own context. And when comparing the application of certain basic ideas of older Pokemon to application of the same idea to newer Pokemon, there is a gap between plausibility. Realism is not what I am discussing.

And finally, I have already acknowledged that every generation has its own share of weaker Pokemon. My main concern with modern generations is that the mix between "good" and "bad" Pokemon is more in favor of the latter.

VGobbsesser

Ah, ok. Now i've understood what you meant. Your point is that implausible pokekemon existed before, but now they're much more bizarre.

Well, since this is highly subjective, i stop here.

Pikachu have Surf.

Um...what exactly are you trying to prove? So it has a weird nose...what's your point? That's one incredibly small detail that's barely relevant to the whole of the creature.

VGobbsesser

I'm not talking only about his nose, I'm talking about the entire concept. He is a BOXING FUR BALL! How can that be an ape? What exactly in that shoud resemble an ape? Show images of the two to a 5 year-old boy and ask which one is the ape. I've done this, actually,and when I said to the kid that both were supposed to be apes, he said it was silly. SILLY. A 5 years old boy calling something SILLY.

My point being "All generations have "bad pokemon", or "implausible pokemon" or whatever you want to call it. Nostalgia differentiates them".

Primeape is an ape. It's known for its rage and using its fists as weapons, something that certain species of real apes do; nothing too strange. That's a whole lot more plausible than an ape that can vomit fire.

VGobbsesser

Then, you're not talking about something being plausible, but being realistic. In the same sense, dragons doesn't exist, hamsters doesn't control lightning, and turtles doesn't have water cannons sprouting fom theirs backs, but look at Charizard, Pikachu and Blastoise. Don't even let me get started with Geodude, Electrode and Diglett

If you begin to question the entire idea of flame breathing beings, then the whole franchise is a bad concept and isn't plausible, not only the 3rd and 4th generations.

[QUOTE="789shadow"]

Oh, sounds like you are disappointed they don't look exactly like real animals. :roll:

As if all Pokemon designs ever don't fit this.

VGobbsesser

I'm not asking for them to look realistic; all I want is plausibility. Compare any older Pokemon with newer Pokemon, and there's a dramatic difference in styIe.

Primeape vs Infernape.

Go on. I dare you to say that the 1st generation boxing fur ball with a pig nose, that according to it's name, was supposed to be an ape, is more plausible than the 4th generation fire ape.
