Get Pokemon Diamond or Pearl.

Weezer - Say It Ain't So.

Hahahahaha zing

But we don't, as a rule, criticize games for being "anti-holocaust denier," nor would you expect the ESRB to link to a website that reviewed games based on those people's erroneous beliefs - it does not matter what the people believe to be true... "We don't as a rule" What? Who are you speaking for? Society as a whole? I'm not sure I even follow the rest of the sentance. I'm having trouble understand what you mean by a game denying anti-holocaust. And I would expect the ESRB to link to a religious review site, because religious people buy games. And please, can you try and keep your anti-religious-ism under control, to at least show a little tact and not outright express your bias? I mean, we get it, you hate religion. It's sweet, I know, it's really cool to shout your anti-beliefs from the rooftops, we love it and all, but come on.

Look at TSL, it had Blood as one of the reasons it was labeled "Teen," yet there is only one, baldy rendered, pool of blood in the entire game. If the game was bloody, sure, that descriptor should be attached, but it is not - and some people might not buy the game due to the erroneous label. It was labeled "Teen" for blood and violence. It had blood, and it had violence.

The genocidal treatment of Native Americans in a indisputable fact, unlike some made up laws that are found in a two-thousand year old book of dubious origin. Thus, I would want any review, regardless of its demographic, to mention that fact, but the reviewer should not compare the game's values to, say, the Native Americans' religious beliefs. But to religious people, it is fact. Do you understand? The reviewer is writing a review on a religious site, to be read by like minded religious people. I specifiacally used the Native American example for the reason you stated. It was something we could all get behind to prove the point. The point is, it's a religious site, and will obviously represent a religious veiwpoint.

Would you feel the same way if it wasn't religion though? What about Gun? You kill a lot of Native American's in that game, and that can be seen as extremely offensive, especially to native american people. If someone was reviewing the game for a Native American demographic, it'd be silly not to mention it, and take into account that fact if you were reveiwing the game. Surely you wouldn't attack them for their "Native American Bias." This website's demographic is a religious one, and as such they are free to review based on that, and rightfully so. It's dreadfully apparent to me, and surely, other people, that you're just reaching for something religious to angst out at. I never said the ESRB did, nor did I say the ESRB was a Christian organization. I merely stated that I thought it pandered to much to the conservative, religious wing in America. But wouldn't you think the ESRB would have to be more conservative by nature, considering what it is that they are doing? I mean, the system is set up to give an idea of what to expect from the game as far as content, with the intention of trying to help a parent understand what it is that their child is playing. If a parent feels that the child can handle it, then it's fine, the parent can buy it. I mean, what would a more liberal system do? It would cause contreversy for conservative people, where their kids could potentially get their hands on soemthing that they don't want them to have. The way it's set up now, parents who care that much can keep the games out of the childs hands, and other parent's who feel it's fine can get the game for the kid. Is this really a big issue for you? Kids not getting their hands on violent games easily? I mean, if that isn't even it, and you're just complaining about how you don't like it because you think it's too "conservative," then you're still being pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, you just need the first badge to trade with other people, but to battle you don't need anything.

Yeah deffinetely get it.

Maybe they'll do the dirty work and make threads for eachother.

So who here plays Pokemon? I'd like to bring you all out so we can discuss Pokemon, and anyone who has DS Pokemon we can battle each other and stuff. I just want to get a sub-community together here that I can be apart of, because I don't have X-Box live.

Yeah, I'm really having trouble getting into this game. I've gotten to the part where I control my own ship, but then I've stopped playing, and haven't gone back to play for like, three days. Either I'm not interested enough in the game right now, or Poke-fever has hit big, but really, I should be able to play Pokemon and this game, so yeah.

I'm playing Yellow version. My current team is Sandshrew, Pikachu, Butterfree, and Mankey. I'm either going to add Bulbasaur or Charmander, but not both.

Get Pokemon on DS

Even though it's the trashiest of the Eeveelutions, it's still one of my favorites.

My game has some sort of bug that doesn't let me shoot non-enemies. I demand a patch to rectify this.

I think we should fight them and take bets.

I spent most of my day comming home.

It was sweet when his head turned and faced the camera as he was shot.

So I just ran across the lines You're right. I'll stop him. Not if I can help it! Good times on the Obsidian Forums.

I'm having trouble making a character with a good looking face. I can't get into the game if my character doesn't have a good looking face.

Oh, well I remember it's somebody's birthday.

Happy birthday!

She needs some blood left in her for it to work I'd assume. But the big deal has always been that they don't trust the company, and they don't want Claire to be tested on and turn into some sort of psycho like the lovable Elle.
