    And, just to watch the world burn, PokéAthlon is the best damn side-activity. Ever. Screw your beauty contests and film-making, even though the film-making was fun :P
    Cool, cheers.

    I had a look at White 2 a while back and it seems like the graphics are much worse (very pixely sprites, not that it matters much) and poor menu controls, compared to SoulSilver (the entire menu being on the bottom screen while in the overworld, sprint being a toggle, etc, none of this was present in W2) - is XY the same as BW2?

    I... don't remember. But I DO remember not being bothered by whatever menu scheme they used. B2/W2 gets a pass for me mainly because they introduced the feature that shows when you've caught/seen all pokemon in the area you're currently in. Perfect for collectors!

    The interface in BW2 was actually much better. Everything looked more fluid, more immersive, and the battles were faster. Play a gen 5 game then try going back and playing gen 4, the rate the health bars drop is EXCRUCIATINGLY slow in comparison to it's gen 5 counter-part.

    Now that's true. PokéAthon is the only side activity I have done more than once.

    Oh, absolutely, combat seems improved (aside from graphics) in gen 5 - I was talking about overworld menus. I also noticed from my few minutes of looking at W2 that the music seemed very off, but that might just be me being used to gen 2 (played when I was a kid, remake has very similar music, of course).

    Yup, I still welcome the new thread

    For the lizard pet, I thinking the name black eye or black skin could be used, or you want either a Pokemon name or a unique name that I can't think of

    The other thread usually dies down usually a day or two (or unless some1 like me posts here...)

    Making your GIF Avatar to 20kb is hard. Especially when the original is 504kb
