Duelist of the Roses was the best game on the console, lol. and came with 3 free cards that you can't get anywhere else

i still have all my yu-gi-oh and pokemon cards, and my yu-gi-oh deck is next to my bed at home

I didn't care for the deck cost rules though, a really good deck should be able to own them easily. I sold my yu gi oh for a couple hundred and a palm pilot. I had everything all holographic in both decks. A beatdown/dragon, and a flip effect deck. They complemented each other well.

i have a bunch of power cards, and cards to summon them multiple times

Did Yu-Gi-Oh have some good video games? I never played any of them.

It had a good game for X-Box, that's the only one I played. It's a card simulator, but it was great. Yu-Gi-Oh is really fun, Recommend it.

agreed.

So, does anyone think that there'll be a fifth generation of pokemon?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get a fifth generation since Pokemon is an extremely popular and successful franchise.

Yea it is, but it's the same thing now. I liked the first gen the most, and the second gen was cool too. I still have the cards.

[JACK-2]

I stopped following after the second, there were just too many pokemon. They were also becoming over powered as well.

[Yoshi]

Yeah, they're getting too powerful. The fourth generation wouldn't have a problem with defeating the first generation.

I didn't get into Pokemon until the second generation. After that, I've been watching the anime and playing the video games. I couldn't watch much of the Diamond and Pearl season since I was busy with my classes, though.

Well, you aren't the only one. I still have my collection of pokemon cards in my dresser, and I don't plan on getting rid of it.

I remember when Charizard was probably the most sought-after thing ever.

Really, I thought the first were strong, but that's how they tend to do things. Not to mention they started becoming remakes of themselves.

[Yoshi]

I remember hearing rumors about the remakes of Pokemon Gold and Silver. I don't know if it's true or not, but I wouldn't mind playing it.

Yep, because he had a holographic card with 120 HP and a powerful attack. Unfortunately, I never got him since I could never find it. Of course, I remember when Burger King used to give away fake pokemon cards in their kids meals.

Yea he wasn't good play wise but he was good cash wise. I have a bunch of them now, they tend to get easier to get when it goes out. Actually each of my friends had one and then another gave it to me for an old game of mine along with his other holofoils.

[Yoshi]

I'm sure that the majority of the "rare" cards from the first season could be found in the local stores. I have a bunch of holographic cards, and I don't plan on giving them away. I'm not attached to them, but I just like to keep some memoirs of my childhood.

So it is like an attachment, but you aren't "crazy" about them, just in a memory sense.

Those things were causing all kinds of controversy, the "Pokeman" cards, lol.

[Yoshi]

I guess you can say that.

Yeah, I was amazed by how much controversy it caused. Heck, I couldn't believe certain pokemon were "altered" because they looked like racial stereotypes. Even after all of that, it's still a very popular franchise.

Like Jynx? Which ones were changed?

[Yoshi]

Jynx was changed because she "looked like a Black stereotype". I think Ludicolo (third generation) was changed a little since he "looked like a Mexican stereotype". I think there were more, but I'm not sure.

I figured Jinx would be one, post a pic of the Ludicolo character.

[Yoshi]

Here's a picture of Ludicolo. It's a water-grass type, which is a very good combination.



As you can see, he's wearing a sombrero and it looks as if it's wearing a poncho.

Haha, that's pretty cool though.

[Yoshi]

Yep, and he's from the third generation. He starts out as a Lotad, then evolves into a Lombre, then evolves again into a Ludicolo.



Since he and his pre-evolutions are water-grass types, they are very useful.

Good against almost ANY type. Very solid.

[Yoshi]

Well, he still has a disadvantage against bug, poison, and flying types. Besides that, he's a very good pokemon. Ground types and water types have absolutely no chance against him, unless there's a big difference in their levels.

I had a Ludicolo when I was playing Pokemon Sapphire, and it was deadly. I'm not sure if there's another water-grass type pokemon in the 4th generation, though.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Were there triple breeds?

[Yoshi]

What are triple breeds?

My pokemon vocabulary isn't as sharp as it used to be, unfortunately.

It's sad, church used to be so much better before it was mainstream. Now they do anything for a buck and go directly against the Bible and contradict themselves. They are now getting so broke that some churches have "Gay clubs". That's all fine and dandy but churches had been anti gay for the longest time, I guess the coffers are running short.
