Best Quick Look in a while. They're really at their best when they're playing games for kids or stupid adults. 
 
Have to say, though, I'm now interested in renting this. It's just so Goddamn cheerful.

What the heck?  It seemed like you were done with the quest, and I didn't want to spend 15 minutes going "Why don't you try Venasaur again now that you've done both Crogunk and Spearow?" when I was half way through.

You know this was very entertaining and I'm sure this game has merit for young Pokémon fans. But god dammit, not even Nintendo is trying to push the Wii anymore in terms of graphical capabilities.

Never understood why this didn't happen. Surely it could have saved the gamecube back in the day? "
That's probably what Nintendo thought. "
Loved Pokémon Colosseum, there was also Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. "
I own a Gale of Darkness-branded Gamecube. I wasn't a Colosseum fan or anything (I did like Colosseum, XD not as much) but my original GC crapped out on me and I wanted XD at the time, so it just kinda happened.

I actually think this game looks kind of cool. I like this game's battling system, as it's a very different take on it compared to past pokemon games. If only you could use more than just those two attacks.

I think a lot of people are getting angry over Ryan and Vinny and skipping over the fact that Venusaur told Ryan to do something different on the second time they talked. First, they were asked to battle Croagunk and beat Spearow in a skill game. Then, Venusaur said they had to defeat Croagunk and Spearow and adds "You have to beat them in skill games!".
 
If anything Ryan and Vinny got confused because they paid attention to the text, just to the wrong text.

Vinny's uncle is the disgraced former Vice-President from the first Nixon administration?  Wow, it's really who you know in life, isn't it?  
 
Who knew Pokemon lived such a "gangsta life"?  Great job, Ryan for cluing us in to their private thug world.
