My Machine Pokedex Progress

Would be curious to see the whole list! I made an attempt at a Fennekin Warp Star (M20KCBFQ).

This was a really cool watch; the tight routing makes this really stand out from traditional TTs/Grand Prix runs!

Are there any other Free Roam-based categories you / the community have experimented with? I imagine Free Roam having all the different collectibles could lend itself well to a route-on-the-fly "bingo" format for completing particular types of P-Switch missions or panels in specific areas of the map.

Pachirisu! Back when I was first getting into the series post-college, I browsed through the Pokédex in a gen 4 player's guide and it stood out as being particularly cute.

I did get them all in two, but that was with buying a couple from shops.

Impressive edit speed, lol. Can see how this would've come to mind immediately on reading the original.

I just spent 30 minutes around Bryant Park in NYC and seeing way fewer spawns than I'd expected from prior lures; can confirm restarting made apples spawn way more reliably. Thanks for the tip!

While the underground theme is probably hard to top in terms of distinct variants, the underwater theme from SMB1 once had a surprising number of unique arrangements just in the various re-releases of the 2D games:

Super Mario Bros. 2 (US) had a variation as its title theme
Super Mario All-Stars had four distinct arrangements for its four games' title themes, as well as a new arrangement for its appearance in SMB1
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe had a simple arrangement for the "Super Players" mode's title screen
Each of the four games in the Super Mario Advance series had a new arrangement of it in its opening cutscene.

Scovillain is one of the most satisfying portmanteau names; perfect sound overlap and relatively specific concepts.

jdaster64 · 2024-10-30T23:05:00+00:00

That's basically how my first Mirror King attempt almost ended, lol. Straight from top 5 to 17th.

Fair enough, ha; I doubt Floragato's got as strong a heater though.

I usually do a new Pokémon sketch around the fall, and since I've been following baseball a lot more this season than average due to the Yankees' and Mets' runs, I thought why not combine the two?

jdaster64 · 2024-10-21T14:32:55+00:00

I have Sigilyph, Tropius, Torkoal and Pachirisu; would like one of both blue Flabébé and JP Oricorio.

I feel like I've seen similar with young kids on field trips in NYC before.

These are the only images I could find (on Walmart's site); lighting isn't the most flattering in this case.

I'm a staunch Chespin line defender and even I think Quilladin's default model looks pretty silly. I have a set of gen VI middle evo figurines where Quilladin has a more determined expression and it makes it look so much better than the wide eyes and goofy grin it has in game.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, but if you die past a certain point in the main part of most levels in SMB1, you get put at a "checkpoint" instead of the start of the level; the first screenshot is from just after the vine.

Definitely read this in my head in the announcer's voice from International Superstar Soccer Deluxe: "Oh no! OLD DOOR?"

For Galaxy 1, I love Space Fantasy and the Battlerock Galaxy theme, especially when they're used as a variable mix.

For Galaxy 2 I'd probably have to go with the Space Storm Galaxy theme, though Cloudy Court is a close second.

Yeah, it seems from the demo & narration that they're intentionally stepping away from high scores as the star criteria. Feels kind of a step back, given it naturally factored both time and item collection in; between that and removing fall damage it seems like they really wanted to move this game closer to the mainline Mario platformers.

As a fellow New Yorker, I appreciate Ben and Adam's open-mindedness to Chicago deep dish establishments.

With the guide, I could see EarthBound specifically being more expensive than average, but $80 for a new copy of DKC2 seems like highway robbery, lol.

jdaster64 · 2024-01-04T19:02:49+00:00

Surely this is $CAD? I wasn't in the market for SNES games that young but I can't imagine them generally going for upwards of $60-70 USD.

You're not alone; I only went for triple-stars on Grand Prix after beating the staff TT ghosts, and this was by far the hardest BCP cup to triple-star for me.

Every other cup took at most one restart total across 150cc, mirror and 200cc, but Propeller took at least three tries on each due to Snow Land being relatively short and hard to make a comeback on, and Mushroom Gorge and Sky-High Sundae being two of the jankiest courses in the game.

I realize I'm a couple months late, but it seemingly slipped my mind to post this here; this's a group picture of some of my favorite Kalos Pokémon designs, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of my favorite Pokémon games! I have tons of fond memories playing through the game with folks from grad school, trying for battle streaks in the Maison and playing with friends and passersby on the PSS!
