Proper UK versions have:
"Magikoopa Magic! Turn this train erratic. Make this ticket tragic!"

Seems from what I read, Erratic is spastic in the US english version.
Is it just me, or does the line with "erratic" seem to flow better than it would with "spastic"? Something to do with the rhythm of it, I think...

Suggestion: Darken the light color in the water around the wrecked ship. It looks rather bad, whether it's how it was in the regular game or not.

In the other screenshots, you appear to have a lot of rounded corners that have square cliff faces (the plateau with the 1 sign on it is a rather obvious one of these); you may want to change that.

Otherwise, it doesn't look too bad. I rather like the waterfall coming out of the cave.

Civility's not the best word for what I mean, but I'll go with it.

Would it be possible to actually put a rule into effect saying NOT to gang up on people for making what are seen as dumb hacks? The mob mentality does not help anything, particularly given that practically every single person posting tends to say nothing beyond "this sucks" or the giant "FAIL" that seems to be gaining popularity recently.

Or perhaps just force people to actually give worthwhile critiques?

I don't understand because it looks like 3D.
Then would you mind sharing with the class what a 4D or 5D Rubik's Cube would look like?

(I don't know about you, but I know I can't see more than 3 dimensions.)

A computer monitor can't really project 4 dimensions, even if we could see them, anyway. At best it'd have 3 dimensions with an indicator (shade of a given color, for instance) to indicate the 4th... and that only really works with graphs, not so much with Rubik's Cubes.

I hate Pancakes.


Why did you post in a thread dedicated to pancakes then?
Mudkip says "whee im dumb"
GreyMario made the thread, not EP.
Care to say that again? I don't think I heard you right.

How Nep-Enut does that is beyond me. Usually, they are suppose to be slow.
Perhaps General Guy just takes forever to turn around?

Everyone knows Shuckle is packing Encore. Here's what'll happen- you send out Shuckle, it sucks a hit. Opponent switches to a counter (Blissey absolutely destroys Shuckle, for instance, with Seismic Toss), and gets wrapped. No big deal, because Tossey starts throwing you sky-high. Because Shuckle's HP is so bad, it'll die in 3 tosses, tops. Seismic Toss, Encore. Seismic Toss, Power Trick. Seismic Toss- Shuckle fainted. I'm not even sure if Shuckle can get more than 200 HP; if it can't, it falls before it can even Power Trick. The leftovers won't help you, by the way.

Just to interject: Shuckle can easily survive 2 Seismic Tosses. On an HP IV of 0, 160 EVs into HP are required in order to push its HP to the point where Leftovers will put it to where it'll live through the second Seismic Toss.

Naturally, the higher the IV the lower the EVs required.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look plausible to make it survive the third toss.

Yes, I'm a loser with nothing better to do than calculate that

I also suck at strategy. I'm looking at what Shuckle can learn, and I can't see much of use. I'd reflexively suggest something like Dig for the evasion benefit for the one turn, but Shuckle has crappy speed and it doesn't help it anyway without Toxic; I'd suggest Roar/Whirlwind/whatever else does that, but it doesn't learn any of those. Substitute doesn't help the situation because it would get destroyed in one hit and things would go back how they were previously.

That leaves me with one dumb suggestion. Swagger? I don't know about the standard moveset for the Tosser, but if it relies entirely on Seismic Toss, the attack boost doesn't help it at all, and the ~50% chance of not being damaged may help, I guess.

Yes, I know I'm looking at and trying to solve exactly one situation, and failing rather miserably at that.

EDIT: At the cost of any and all versatility, I think a Sitrus Berry and perfect HP IVs/EVs will indeed allow Shuckle to survive the third Seismic Toss. Yay?

Neat. I suppose it'll fill in the void left by Lunar Magic not supporting SMA2, if in a less godly manner (no offense, but I don't really see you getting it to do everything LM does anytime soon). Good luck.

tyty210: That's a tenuous link at best. Sound effects mean effectively nothing in such situations.

sirhax0r: Umm... I'm not at all convinced that SMA4 is directly based on any of the previous, especially in a useful manner. Although the features in it were pretty neat.

Or the board would implode.
But the Valkyrie items already make it implode. Just look at the male Valkyrie-item-equipped people like BooUrns and tyty210. Then go elsewhere and look at them. Even just going from the topic to the "New reply" page causes them to swap gender.

I approve of the fact that they showcase Deoxys on the Lylat Cruise level:


Somehow fitting for a Pokemon with such a generic bad science fiction background.

EDIT: Wait a second. Does this mean there's no chance of neutral/defense/speed-form Deoxys appearing? Since that was always the most distinctive feature of it...

(No I don't count Psycho Boost as distinctive in this context.)

This makes 2 legendaries from R/S/E to appear. Kyogre and Rayquaza are plausible to show up soon.

The reason for that is because those are where the paths appear. I'll try to fill in some of the more open areas.

You could always do what the original Mario World did and fill them with rocks... Assuming you still have those graphics.

I already went back and fixed all of the problems with the cliffs. I'm not sure why I never noticed those problems myself.
Because you spent so long staring at it because you made it. Almost everyone has that problem, hence why authors tend to have other people proofread stuff.

Where the HELL is blackhole98?Because this thread...<big><big>FAILS!<big><big>

Speaking of failing... Let's see...
1. His name is blackhole89.
2. Punctuation marks are followed by spaces.Otherwise it gets hard to read.See?
3. Close your tags. <big> is closed with </big>, not another <big>.
4. Stop parroting what everyone else said.
5. Most important: If you feel the thread needs to be locked, PM the mod. Do not post in the thread complaining it hasn't been locked; it wouldn't need to be locked if people could just stop posting in it.

Okay, enough backseat moderating from me.

Wait, wait. You've posted in this thread THREE TIMES. Each time saying the same thing. What the hell is your problem?
