That and fairly consistent quality. To the OP, are you really looking to get into Pokemon? If not, what's wrong with just ignoring it? It's not like you have to get, play, or even think about a game just because it's popular. Any long-standing series can be described simply enough as to...

Merely being combined with commentary isn't enough to grant you rights to make money from someone else's copyrighted material, otherwise recording yourself singing other people's songs and making money for the performance without a previous licensing agreement would be allowed and it isn't...

Obviously, if there's an issue with the law you should work to change it. Acknowledging where the problem lies is not blind submission. A lot of people are vastly over-inflating the importance of let's play when discussing this.

That's the problem with making a living from someone else's content. The issue is the law, not Nintendo asserting its rights.

Except in this analogy, the LPers who want to be paid are the equivalent of the musician who demands compensation for the entire work despite only having the rights to one aspect of it. It doesn't really work anyway, because licensing agreements tend to be made before release and if one party...

For the first part of that false statement, the National Crime Victim Survey(2010) says: The link to the survey is http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/ascii/cv10.txt For the remainder, a quick look at a few of the posts from Manboobz or its boobroll [http://manboobz.com/] show aggravatingly large...

Wow, I never thought I'd agree with Yahtzee regarding a Wii game. It's kind of neat that nearly everyone who dislikes Other M is making the same general complaints about it.

Emphasis added What? How exactly would 'raiding' Mewtwo or any other legendary improve the experience of battling one? Don't raids involve more than one person? If so, how would you determine who gets to catch whatever you're fighting? If not, how's that different from the way Pokemon...

So some games that add a few new concepts to an established genre are considered original, but other games that do so aren't? I also never said anything about originality in my address toward Yahtzee, you're arguing against a position I don't hold. Of course, you can't get the experience of...

You know, I completely forgot about the Extra Punctuation on Generic games [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/6516-Extra-Punctuation-On-Generic-Games] when I posted before. Given that NSMBWii is a high profile standard-bearer for this kind of design...

Really? So the DS, Nintendogs, Brain Age, the Wii, Wii Sports and Wii Fit don't qualify as 'original'? What does under your definition, because it's different than the one I'm familiar with. As for the video, some complaints about the two games are valid, but I strongly disagree with the...

Wait, what? A little over a month after your tirade against Nintendo for the "popcorn nothing" of Wii Sports Resort, you're now advocating arcade-style "shooty fun" games? What are you looking for?

The Gamecube was aimed squarely at the core market and was largely ignored for the PS2. Nintendo could either find new customers or continue to be ignored by the current ones. In your House of the Dead: Overkill...

I didn't miss that. You, however, have apparently forgotten the way you mentioned playing.

You may want to get your sarcasm meter checked. Your anecdotes of 20 minute stop-and-go with the Wii does not cancel my anecdotes of hours long sessions with it.
