I only found and captured a few shiny Pokémon in my years of playing Pokémon games, including Abra, Dunsparce, Magikarp, Oddish, and Plusle (obviously not counting the Gyarados I kept from one of my few playthroughs of Heart Gold). I'm not a huge freak when it comes to finding shiny Pokémon...

In all honesty, I'm not even sure what a "metacritic" score is but I also do a fair bit of research myself. I normally read a few reviews or watch the first few episodes of a walkthrough on YouTube, which normally gives me the best idea of if I'll like the game or not. I very rarely purchase a...

I first purchased a Cosmo Black 3DS but I had to exchange that after two days because of a broken depth slider but they didn't have any Cosmo Black models in-stock, so I ended up choosing Midnight Purple instead. I actually like this color a lot better so I'm almost glad they didn't have the...

This thread seems to be a landslide so far and I'm also going to have to say that I prefer the collect-a-thon layout, Super Mario Sunshine being one of my favorite Mario titles of all time. I did love playing through Super Mario 3D Land recently on my 3DS but it just couldn't hit the same spot...

It's typical that the company to last release their newest console will have a bit of a benefit over the others. Microsoft and Sony now know what Nintendo's new console will have to offer and they still have the time to make an essentially more powerful console. On the other hand, I don't think...

I do think the digital copy should be about $5 cheaper or so but when it comes down to the business standpoint, it wouldn't make sense for Nintendo to offer the eShop version at a cheaper price. If the full price of the digital version was much lower than the physical copy, there could be a...

I definitely think Nintendo would benefit from some more hardcore and mature content. They should add a new parental control to their consoles to block specific games depending on its ESRB rating. That would make it easier to allow their older audience to play mature content while preventing the...

I've been more of a fan of the Xbox 360, myself, but the PS3 definitely has it beat when it comes to some really sweet exclusive titles. Besides Gears, there aren't many other 360 exclusives that I care about (I'm not a fan of Halo). I sold my Xbox 360 a while ago since I rarely used it but I...

I used to play Minecraft a ton but I've grown out of it quite a bit as of lately. I haven't played much of Minecraft 1.3.1 just yet, because I'm waiting for my preferred texture pack to be updated, but I'm not too worried about it. I normally kept two worlds, a "flat world" that I used for...

Honestly, it all depends on your tastes. I've always been the type of person to prefer a higher-end laptop over a desktop. It's actually not because of the portability since I normally don't bring my laptop with me, unless I'm going on a trip for a few days. I just don't want to sacrifice the...

This is a great idea for a thread! I currently don't have a Pokémon game since I sold my old games along with my DSi and I'm waiting to get a copy of Pokémon White 2 when it's finally released. I'll definitely be looking for this thread at a later time since I'm clueless when it comes to EVs...

I think they should release an eShop update that makes the drops completely manual. It would make a lot of people happier, I'm sure.

I've been watching a few episodes of a playthrough on YouTube, as well as playing through the first level on a friend's 3DS, and I also don't like the new "drop" feature. I normally take my sweet time playing games and I like to explore every aspect of the levels, especially in Kingdom Hearts...

I also don't have any positive or negative feelings about the 3DS being hacked. Let's face it, there are probably people out there who are working on it right now and it's always a matter of time before a new electronic becomes modified for the benefit of the hacker. It's an issue that will...

I was thinking of selling my original 3DS to a family member for $100, so I'd only have to pay the second half and purchase a case. Then I'd actually be able to come home and preform a System Transfer before handing it over (my local Gamestop said they wouldn't be able to allow me to do it...
