Play it until you reach Mirror B and hear his music. Or just look it up on YouTube. The game is kind of bland but Mirror B is one of the greatest villains ever made. What a waste to put him in a game that mediocre
Pretty much my thoughts. 2DS is for a niche market and if you're not a part of that, it's fine. It's really to make every parent wary of 3D jump in time for Pokemon X/Y.
White 2 is much better. The starters are the same (though honestly Oshawott has good evolutions and Snivy starts and stays cool looking). But the game throws the Pokemon you want to put on your team. Before you get to the second Gym you can get a Growlithe, Magby/Elekid (depending on your version), Magnemite, Riolu, or Koffing, all of which are awesome. It's also the best balanced Pokemon I've seen challenge wise, I recommend most to skip B/W in favor of 2.
The game is also much better if you use the touch screen. Personally I think Heartgold/Soulsilver has the best interface in the series though.
I think you'd really love the multiplayer. Hundreds of guys, almost all of which have some unique niche you have to remember and find a counter for, building a team which both covers each other's weaknesses well and is built around some strategy to overpower the opponent, and mind boggling amounts of customization. No game's ever made me think as hard as Pokemon MP.
Pixlbit I normally love your guys' articles, but this was not a well written one at all. The confusion part is an issue I'll admit, that's why I wrote a piece poking fun at it. But the fact of the matter is there are parents who hear it's in 3D and don't care that it can be turned off. They'll either dismiss it immediately after hearing or still reason their child can use the 3D and don't want it potentially to harm them in any way.
As for the "sale price 3DS" come on! So you're saying that the 2DS will never go on sale? That people won't be able to pick it up for $100 Black Friday? That the 3DS has been on sale before means nothing, I picked up my XL on sale for cheaper than an average 3DS costs. Does that mean the 3DS should have been taken off the market? No, it just means I got a good deal. And when I picked it up, the regular 3DS was cheaper. The same exact thing will happen with the 2DS. Putting the 2DS up for sale at $100 will be a jump price for some people.
I'm sorry if I come across as an asshole, but I expect more from this website than passing these off as good points.
Yay, Pokemon. Can't wait for X/Y!!! Great job with this too.
The Phoenix Wright Layton crossover game was confirmed for NA? That's the best news I heard all week. Even though I'll give the new girl a chance, PW without Maya just seems weird so having another one with her covering a witch trial sounds awesome. Plus Layton gameplay sounds much better than investigations.
Just because it's flawed doesn't mean it's a bad idea.
"I plunk the children in school nine days out of ten. I put up with them when they come home three days a month; it’s not bad at all. You heave them into the ‘parlor’ and turn the switch. It’s like washing clothes: stuff the laundry in and slam the lid"
-Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
You two are thinking too much like educated consumers. A lot of parents aren't going to find out there's a slider to control that or be paranoid their kids will still play with that on. Also the cheaper price tag right alongside Pokemon, this is a better idea than it's given credit for. It's just confusing is all.
