Both groups each have only 2 Pokemon that I explicitly want to - and one Pokemon who I had to -1 out of necessity (mostly midcarders, not many that I wanted to + either).

If you're gonna allow for customization, at least make it possible for someone's avatar to not look hideous. Literally every option I tried looks horrendous

Almost forgot that I was in the Go topic and not SV.

Yeah it's early and I've barely listened to anything but this is the one song that I said I'd support even before noms opened.

I don't even dislike Impidimp on the whole but it's a NFE in a division with one of my top 2 Pokemon and a bunch of legendaries.

If like 100 people from this board all went to CE at once to discuss politics I wonder if that would be allowed or if it would constitute board invasion.

Well the highest level admin on the site told people to go there, so I think you'd have a case. Not like you'd be able to contest it if you got suspended lmao

-2 Braixen
-3 Dreepy

First group is pretty great. I have positive opinions of Reshiram and Yanmega even though I couldn't + them. Finneon is spared from -3 due to being in Snap.

Second group ranges from apathetic to dislike and I'd like to give out more -s. Braixen is spared from -3 due to my strong(er) dislike of Dreepy.

I was confused at this whole conversation but I finally realized that I don't have the day 38 topic on my topic list. It took me about 5 minutes of investigation to realize that it was posted on a flair that I don't have enabled on my board. Gonna vote now.

Toad Town (Paper Mario)

(Not a question, this is my first actual vote)

Does the zone list or the desktop from Hypnospace Outlaw count?

Does Rogue Encampment from Diablo 2 count?

I felt very betrayed when I clicked on that imgur link and saw that instead of showing examples of the terrible avatars it showed a picture of what a ratio is.

But is this ratio HOT??

Cupcake2006 posted...

People are mad because they destroyed the way the avatars look in addition to implementing poorly designed body sliders. The sliders are just one part of the bigger whole.

Well you didn't say that before.

If they actually removed existing customization options then that would be a legit gameplay reason to be upset (non-gender related), but then why wouldn't the TC have mentioned that in their first post instead of waiting for people to question it? Coming in on a bad note.

UltimaterializerX posted...

The new avatars are great, but the old ones were also completely deleted with no option to get that look anymore. That's what people are mad about.

You see we shouldn't need 18 posts for someone to actually explain it to non-Go players.

I don't want to live in a world where people complain about customization features being added to a game.

Hmmm

Okay maybe I will nominate something this week. I think I like the themed nominations better because there's more guidance than "just think of literally anything for any reason". That's why I didn't end up picking anything last time even though I had one in my head.

I only use 1 channel in the Discord but I don't think that we could hold a full scale VGMC in there.

Was the site run into the ground by someone who had no idea what they were doing and was content to rest on the few laurels it had until the site was treated as valueless to those higher up

Or was the site treated as valueless by those higher up which made the someone unable to do anything but watch it get sold to worse and worse entities.

No to both.

Stop posting.

Probably not for long, now that the Fandom admins are gonna learn of its existence for the first time.

It's true, I started frequenting here in 2015 (after only being a contest poster beforehand) because I realized that this was the most active non-CE board. So now we don't need to use that qualifier.

I'll change my vote to Asterix & Obelix XXL.

Boring day overall. Aron is spared my -3 due to being an essential part of battle facility cheese strats for the last several generations.

Never (even if they have another one it won't be great).

MFW last place

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/272009ab.png

Off the top of my head it might be 100%ing Action Henk (including all Rainbow medals). Game gets super hard near the end and a lot of casual players straight up don't finish the game (and then complain about it in the Steam reviews).

Possibly some miscellaneous scores/times in various IL games that I've played. Maybe some difficult Mario Maker levels as well.

Way too much NFE garbage in the first division; in a better group I should be giving Bewear negative points.

On the other hand I want to upvote nearly everything other than my bottom 3 in the second division. Nidoking is an honorary gen 5 Pokemon, Veluza is a cool fish, and Audino is the original EXP sponge. However Tympole is one of the funniest NFEs ever (incidentally something that I would also say about Toedscool, who is entirely uncontested up there).

Starcraft vs Halo

I haven't even taken time to think about any other answers but this is my #1.

I think I skipped the last few topics so I've forgotten.

2) Point values of games are determined by the # of nominations. If you nominate 10 games, your top choice is 10 points. If you nominate one game, your only choice is worth 1 point.

Wait so our noms are actually ranked by order?

If S3 and SK were both released in 1994 then I'd say count them together because they were intended to be played as a single game. If not then it gets complicated.

Put my actual vote to F-Zero X.

It's not my vote compared to some of the other options here, but I want to give an honorable mention to Pokemon Snap for something that it did really well which never gets enough credit. All of its loading zones are cleverly hidden behind stage geometry and around corners so you (almost) never see new stuff loading into the stage. It always makes it looks like everything is already there by the time you arrive. They course layouts were carefully designed to accommodate this, and the end result is an increase in immersion because it makes them feel even bigger.

First group is ridiculous, I wanted to give +3 to all of my top 3 and also Grapploct who had to get the cut.

I would have considered voting for Perfect Dark if they didn't drop the Game Boy Camera support.

Screenshots are a good idea, but people will need to remember that we're not just voting on the graphical fidelity of the games but their overall features and mechanics, which will not be shown in screenshots.

Uncharacteristic day for strong NFEs against weak evos.

Put my vote towards Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble since Crystal is gonna win anyway.

As far as the topic at hand, Pokemon Crystal is the obvious response, but Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble has to count for something. Zelda Oracles have an unprecedented amount of connectivity with each other and also have exclusive GBA content to top it off. Dance Dance Revolution had that handheld dance pad (is that cheating?).

Wait I just realized that we should have voted for Game Boy Camera for yesterday's topic, fuck.

i dont think i ever saw the graphics of a GBC game and went "wow"

The earliest instance of this in my life was Wario Land 2, which I randomly discovered on Nintendo's old website browsing the list of games. (It was actually a color-enhanced GB game, but I didn't know the difference at the time, so to me it was a GBC game) I was completely struck by how nice the game looked and it made want to buy it, even though I knew nothing about the gameplay or the character (didn't even know who Wario was or that he was connected to Mario). And I did buy it, and I'm so glad that I did, all because of the graphics.

Conker's Pocket Tales is another game that always caught my eye when seeing it in Nintendo Power (even though the actual game wasn't very good, as I found out later in life).

The most recent time was when I discovered (and played) Alice in Wonderland last year. Observe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvY46q20i_U

The part in the intro level where you walk "through" the flowers (layered sprites on top of your character) is mindblowing, because despite being a simple trick, games simply weren't doing that at the time. So it looks really advanced, relatively. Also all of the backgrounds are extremely detailed and the cutscenes look great. I love the animation at 3:35 in this video.

(Also, coincidence that they posted this video 2 weeks after I started speedrunning this game and uploaded a few runs to Youtube? )

I didn't post this before because I thought it was GBC exclusive, but I just checked and it's backwards compatible.

Stop nominating Game Boy Color games.
