It's pretty obvious right from looking at it that they toned down the difficulty of the game(i.e. simpler caves, inclusion of high exp. dispensing Pokmon Audino, unlimited TM use, etc).
Of course, this doesn't downplay the game's finer points, which lie in the graphics and music, which were all revamped to a polish from the previous generations. From the updated overworld renders, to the mobile animations in battle, to the music that seems to fit every situation, Game Freak definitely covered all their bases on this one.
The storyline was also top notch. There were some really touching moments in that game, plus the way that everyone's ideologies seemed to clash so harmoniously brought everything together nicely. Cheren's struggle to find out what real power is, Bianca's innocent search for her dreams, N's beliefs on Pokemon, and other characters with beliefs like the Gym Leaders, Champion Alder, and Professor Juniper... it's pretty obvious the storyline was written with a lot of thought this time around. I'm not saying the storylines in previous generations weren't thought out well, but Black and White definitely takes the cake.
Plus the difficulty takes a randomly huge spike upwards after you complete the storyline, so that's cool too, especially for the more hardcore gamers.
9.8/10 would play again.

Why is it I'm the only one spending time on these? >:( Nah jk, it's all cool with me. :D And just as a clarification: - Panel 2, Hacker's getting rolled over by a barrel. The reason I mention it is because I'm looking at the picture, and it doesn't seem all that apparent to me, so I thought I'd just mention it in case it occurs for anyone else. - Panels 7 and 8, basically Spike's jumping on the spinning barrel and using it for some propulsion power. Simple enough, but I didn't exactly draw anything to that effect.

Drawing Shiakiri probably took up 80% of the time I spent drawing this whole thing. So tedious... T___ T; Also, bottom left panel = perfect? I think I need to start experimenting with the size 2 pencil.

Psibat, if you lose the challenge you swap places with the challenger. Nitro/Snake becomes #10 and you drop down off the list.
If you win, you simply don't move. Not up, not down. Only the challenger stands to gain anything from issuing a challenge.

Yeah, 11th is just a placeholder incase someone randomly decides to drop out of the rankings. Everyone will move up, but 10th will be left blank, so it'll just go to whoever was there last. But aside from that, everyone not on the top 10, including 11th, is simply categorized as "not top 10," who you don't have to fight. Btw I'm so getting on this as soon as I finish One Week Battle(whenever THAT will be... >___>

Basic attack, I know, but HEYHEY environmental change Well, for Spike and Balto, at least.

It doesn't break my reserve, McJeezus. I wasn't planning on using the robot powers.
Besides, those robot powers didn't really do much outside of a cosmetic change anyway. >.>

Because everyone seems to be under the impression that the true value is 0/9999, not 2/3. My dramatically announcing of an attack was a sarcastic response to that impression. And the parentheses were in case people didn't get the sarcasm. :/
And there ARE some(at least one) people whose attack to picture ratio over the last 4 weeks is actually lower than mine. Even more if you factor in time extending to before this month.
For the sake of avoiding a derail, can we avoid going any further with this? I'm going to attack now; that's all that matters.

Reserve on Balto
Expect a *gasp* actual attack! (Even though I've been attacking 2/3 of the time, but still.) (Also, if anyone's in the middle of a pic involving Spike or Balto, let me know and I'll take the reserve down.)

Over the course of the last 4 weeks, I've posted 9 pictures, of which 6(arguably 7) were attacks.
The last one was rushed and didn't exactly follow McJesus' intended plan because I had a billion things jump onto my schedule at once. Had that not happened, I would have done so.
Okay?

Jeez
I have things to do IRL, and they're all going to waste A LOT of time for me.
Even with all of the readily available 3 days I had, I still had to rush what I was drawing, and drawing a super flamey rage of death mode Spike was impossible given my circumstances.
I was going to draw something to that effect, but BAM a billion things on my schedule and Fleshwound turned off ragemode, so I decided "fuck it."

I notice some people getting this mixed up a few times, so I'll just leave this here:

I just figured out how to make Spike attack without being prompted. Accidents.

Post by John12346 on Feb 20, 2011 4:41:34 GMT -5
I guess I'll throw in Spike, simply because I used John last time, and I'm more used to drawing him at this point.

Well seeing as a T.Rex can't eat vegetbles and such I'm pretty sure she's okay with it :P Though I like how you're thinking (I've never actually stated she's a vegetarian, but it's likely she is.) Well, which picture should I be using then? The one with the salad or the one with the meat? Your choice. Reason why I went with the salad is due to the fact your profile stated Anna Mills as being "weak to meat," so I would imagine that wouldn't make for a very good peace offering. Reason for Editing: I quoted the wrong person at first.

Alright, w/e, I fixed it and nullified the old picture. I read the profile, and she doesn't like meat at all, carnivorous or not. So instead, please enjoy this delicious salad. Anyway, I'll count this as an extra use of the Replica Toque and a restoration of my timer. Everyone down with that?

I would imagine avoiding a battle with a Tyrannosaurus would be a strategically superior move to actually fighting it.
but that's just me
And besides, I may or may not be planning something with this move.

Well, it was mainly in response to Balto's provoking words, "Come at me, bro." And besides, I had Spike do something in response to the rape, remember? Had him tear off an arm and stuff... I think that would count as a justified reaction.

You gotta love trash talking in the midst of battle. Sometimes it turns out to be more important than you think.

B-but I called a reserve on Balto and stuff! D:

Post by John12346 on Feb 8, 2011 14:11:37 GMT -5
I'm actually a little confused
Whoever McJesus hit, it doesn't look like anyone currently in the OWB. I mean, it probably is someone in the OWB right now, but... I don't know of anyone with delicious cooked meat for hands Who is it?

Hopefully not, because that pretty much screws up my reserve... T___ T;

Actually, it isn't.
Anyway, reserve on Balto, I guess.

That's just really gross now

In preparation for Balto... Also Nitro, in order to effectively pin someone down, you need to hold both of their arms down, not one arm and their body.

There is nothing wrong with being really big. We've seen these sorts of scenarios in other threads in the past. It's not uncommon, it doesn't make the user suddenly dominate, and it in no way makes the battle any less exciting.
Oh and Nitro just for the record Spike would never say what you made him say in your pic. He is the last character on the planet who would be characterized as cocky.
Reason for Editing: FFFFFUU- Page King >:(

Throwing a filthy rag in an unconscious animal's face I have the most evil mind you'll ever know. Also, and you probably caught this within one second of looking at the picture, but I suck at drawing liquid effects for when someone is covered in them. But then again, there are a lot of things I suck at drawing. :(
