Posted on 09-28-06 12:32 AM, in Games that are a huge rush Link
Ever get one of those games where at some point you just get a major rush and start playing really well? I get that in Mario Kart: Double Dash. On Rainbow Road, I do the first two laps as normal, but then I get to the third... the suddenly faster (and much louder ) music and the thought that I'm on the last lap in the last level just blows my mind. I get right into the game and start pulling off moves I never would have thought were possible, spinning the control stick so fast it feels like it's going to break off, pulling off 5 or 6 mini-turbo boosts where I can usually only manage 2 or 3 while dodging obstacles by mere centimeters, and firing off multiple shells as if I'd just chugged a few cups of espresso. It's just so damn fun...

Anyone else get like that, or am I just nuts?

It does look like a good cave, though. Only issue is the FG appears to be mostly dirt which doesn't look great against a mostly rock background.

That's probably the best point yet. Dragging and dropping files into/between instances of Winamp or dragging files around in the playlist beats the hell out of typing individual filenames (or even copying and pasting them one at a time) any day.

PHP and a database engine should be all you need for that. If you consider yourself completely hopeless with PHP though, you might want to hold off on databases. I learned the ins and outs of PHP by making my website read and parse page content from text files before I started doing database work.

Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Drowzee, Hypno. Need any more?

Well given that it doesn't have any sort of metallic attributes, it looks more like plastic or clay than anything.
Because plastic and clay definitely shine and look metallic.

My point exactly. These don't shine or (again) have any metallic attributes to them.

The water part is obvious, but the ground seems to come from nowhere. Quagsire didn't look it either but this was one out of 251.
Quagsire is the other water/ground. I am illustrating the point that you cannot single out Advance in this matter.

It was never a problem in previous games. Maybe some of them weren't glaringly obvious, but there was at least some indication in most cases.

Koffing: Right. It being immune to ground is flying is annoying, and that's bad, and no element in RBY and GSC was even the slightest bit annoying.
You clearly implied it.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

Numel: Clearly volcanic. Volcanos are fire. Just because it's subtle doesn't make it not well-designed.
Perhaps you should look at Numel more. Specifically look at the hole on the top.

Ohhhhh, the lump has a hole in it! That makes it so obvious! Quite a few things have holes in them without being volcanoes. Plus the fact that the shape of the hump is quite opposite that of a volcano.

Once again, no metallic attributes.
Just because it's not silver doesn't make it not metallic. It has a reflective tint to it that clearly indicates metal. See Scizor for example.

Yes, Scizor does. Jirachi doesn't.

A lot of Pokémon have dark colours.
Yeah. Dark ones. Like Houndoom. And Umbreon. And Murkrow. But not Tyranitar.

And Aggron, Spoink, Torkoal, Duskull, Girafarig, Shuppet, Lairon, etc.

Natu doesn't look Psychic.
Sudowoodo definitely doesn't look Rock.
Aipom doesn't look Normal.
Wooper doesn't look Ground.
Quagsire doesn't look Ground.
Slowking doesn't look Psychic.
Unown doesn't look Psychic.
Wobbuffet doesn't look Psychic. (First time I saw this, I thought it was part of the Quagsire line.)
Girafarig doesn't look Psychic.
Pineco doesn't look Bug.
Forretress doesn't look Bug.
Dunsparce doesn't look Normal.
Gligar doesn't look Ground.
Sneasel doesn't look Ice.
Swinub doesn't look Ice/Ground.
Piloswine doesn't look Ice/Ground.
Houndour doesn't look Fire.
Houndoom doesn't look Fire.
Phanpy doesn't look Ground.
Smoochum doesn't look Ice/Psychic.
Entei doesn't look Fire.
Larvitar doesn't look Rock/Ground.
Pupitar doesn't look Rock/Ground.
Tyranitar doesn't look Rock/Dark.
Lugia doesn't look Psychic.
Ho-oh doesn't look Fire.

Aipom is a monkey with no special attributes. What type would you say he looks like?
Quagsire's tail and feet suggest it lives in mud.
Slowking has a large living creature with a glowing spot on it on its head.
Unown is a mysterious floating creature in an ancient ruin. Psychic only makes sense.
Wobbuffet appears to be concentrating heavily.
Girafarig has two heads.
Pineco is a pine cone. Pine cones are usually found near bugs. Based on its appearance and this simple fact you can assume it's steel, bug or grass, and it doesn't look much like grass.
Foretress looks like a pine cone too.
Gligar has spikes all over its body like many animals that live in the ground.
Swinub looks like a mole, and has thick fur suited to living in cold places, which implies ice.
Piloswine is clearly evolved from Swinub and has the same features.
Houndour has light and dark spots and points on its body like many fire Pokémon. The first thing that comes to mind when I see this colour scheme and body shape is dark/fire.
Houndoom is clearly evolved from Houndour and has the same features.
Phanphy is clearly based on elephants which could only be ground or normal.
Smoochum looks like Jynx which is clearly pshychic, and if you'd ever fought or owned a Jynx you'd know they're ice.
Entei is a large dog with a red spot on its face. It's also part of a fire/ice/electric trio, and it's clearly not ice or electirc.
Larvitar looks like a small burrowing animal.
Pupitar is clearly evolved from Larvitar and is grayish blue like some rocks.
Tyranitar is clearly evolved from Pupitar and has spikes the same colour as its body which implies rock.
Lugia has all this mystery surrounding it in the game and is horribly powerful. Psychic just fits perfectly.
Ho-oh is coloured like a fire. The feathers on its head even look like one.

And that would help how, exactly?
Okay, headphones are these funny-looking things and you wear them on your head and they make things that come out of crappy GBA speakers sound much better.

This smartass attitude is completely unnecessary. Every other GBA game I've played sounds just fine. I don't see how moving the speakers closer to me is going to help.

This right here is why I feel you missed my point. It's not a matter of small samples. When you play for half an hour and get the same results every single time, that's a rather large sample.
No it's not.

So what is? Let's assume one battle every 4 minutes. In an average battle where both Pokémon are of approximately equal strength (usually the case as I'd be doing this to level up), it takes 3 to 5 hits to win. So that's 7.5 battles, with me attacking 3 to 5 times in each assuming no misses or critical hits. The enemy would also be attacking 2 to 5 times depending who goes first. So in half an hour we have 7.5 battles and a total of 37.5 to 75 attacks.
For each battle, a random number determines which enemy you fight. For each attack one random number determines whether you will miss, hit, or critical hit and another is used in calculating the total damage dealt. So that's 45 to 82.5 random numbers. I think if a RNG gives the same results 45 times in a row, it can be considered broken.

Pikachu was meant to be rare in the forest. That's not the scenario here. I'm talking about cases where out of 4 or 5 Pokémon that are usually equally common, you'd only ever encounter one.

...

It happened quite often to both me and the AI, with as much as 90% accuracy. Even those with 95% felt a lot more like 75% tops.
Blatantly wrong, as shown by the fact that you are the only one experiencing this.

You mean the only one mentioning it. Like I said this could have been fixed in later versions, which Nintendo and their third-party developers do frequently. Should I write up a quick list of games this was done in?
