That is true but I just don't like layering up because the sun can come out at anytime and then I sweat.

[Phi]

No. In my honest opinion, the core gameplay was never good.
It's just that, it's even worse now. Because it was bad back then too, but right now it's as you said. It's own age age caught up with it, making it worse.

I had shitload of fun with various different versions of SA1 (SA1, DX, International). But SA2? IT'S HORRIBLE. EACH TIME.

I mean, it's just my opinion, so feel free to disagree, but...

The Tails and Eggman levels are no fun at all. The only kick I can get out of them, is when I play as Eggman, because it's Eggman.
Treasure hunting is boring and annoying. Which is strange, because I loved the SA1 treasure hunting.

Then there's the fact that Shadow is barely in the game, even though they advertise him as the next big thing.

In general, this game is a well made example of [tornado fang]ing up on the job, and poor planning too.

The only good thing about it, as stupid as it sounds, are the Sonic and Shadow levels. And even then there's not enough of them.

The only good thing I can say about it is this:
It's better than Shadow's game... which I outright despise.

The only thing I really disliked were the Tails and Eggman segments.

Otherwise, I liked all the other levels. I'll admit that I'm kind of a nostalgia fiend, so I'm a little biased. But I always loved running as Sonic or Shadow and jumping off a seemingly bottomless pit, only to land on a rail or platform. That took a lot of practice, and helped wonders with speed runs. If I recall correctly, Final Rush is the level that had those parts where you could fall far distances and land on a rail. The game never hinted or told you about these things, and It was awesome to fool around in those stages.

Treasure Hunting was fun. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.

And as mentioned before, the Chao Garden. I spent SO MANY hours in that thing. Going from stage to stage finding animals to bring back to them. Overall, I personally think SA2 is a well crafted game.

As for Shadow the Hedgehog, yeah, I'm sure most agree almost any Sonic game is better than that piece of [parasitic bomb].

You just don't like covering up that sexy body! Believe me, I understand! I like showing off my sexy self to the world!

[Sakura Leic]

God dammit PB I'm not like that.

[Protoman Blues]

God dammit PB I'm not like that.

Yes I know. We still have much ego training left! 

[Sakura Leic]

I don't even like wearing bikinis, then again I can't swim anyway.

[DarkWaltz]

So I'll be heading to Victory Road in my Black 2 game. I think my team is set on taking the Elite 4 and Champion. I just lack a decent electric type since I swapped my Magneton for Arcanine.

[Sakura Leic]

Galvantula?

[Pyro]

I cannot help but feel depressed today. No real reason, the meds do not seem to be working.

Awwww you should learn how to swim. Swimming is awesome. As are water parks and bathing suits!!

Ahhhh good ol' Magneton. Wait...no he wasn't. HE NEVER LISTENED TO ME AT ALL! [tornado fang]er! 

I like Zebstrika myself. 

[Sakura Leic]

I never used a Magneton before.

[Protoman Blues]

Seriously, one time Lou and I switched Pokemon for a BATTLE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS, and Magneton never missed for him. Not ONCE.

Come to think of it, I think I just traded him to Lou. 

[Sakura Leic]

It's like why I don't use Will 'O Wisp, it never hits for me even though it has 75% accuracy.  I hit way more with Fire Blast!

[Police Girl]

Will-O-Wisp sucks anyway, all it does is burn, no damage.

[Archer]

Will-O-Wisp sucks anyway, all it does is burn, no damage.

Burn is useful.

[Sakura Leic]

Burn lowers the Attack of Pokemon by half.

[DarkWaltz]

Right now my team consists of:

Lucario - Ares
Ice Punch, Psychic, Aura Sphere, and Close Combat
Serperior - Aeolus
Aerial Ace, Cut, Frenzy Plant, and Leaf Blade
Krookodile - Thanatos
Dig, Foul Play (Considering changing it to another Dark move), Rock Slide, and Strength
Lapras - Oceanus
Surf, Safeguard (will change), Ice Beam, and Hydro Pump
Arcanine - Theia
Fire Fang, Crunch, Reversal, and Flamethrower
Skarmory - Erebus
Fly, Slash, Aerial Ace, and Steel Wing

Good enough?

[irgpie]

What is snow like, I only saw it once when I was 4 in the mountains and barely remember it.

It's fine and fun until you're old enough that's its only point is to inconvenience you and needs to be shoveled off the driveway every morning. It can go [tornado fang] off quite frankly.

[Pyro]

I swear that the games are somehow sentient and manipulating probability in their favor.

I think so.

I know right?  Though I get some decent luck with Paralysis moves.

[Police Girl]

Burn lowers the Attack of Pokemon by half.

I did not know this.

I knew Paralysis cut Speed, but I didn't know other ailments cut stats as well.

It looks good to me.

I just recently fought Cynthia again. I forgot how much of a whore her Spiritomb could be.

[Sakura Leic]

I did not know this.

It doesn't get explained in games often, I did see it in White 2 however.  But yeah Paralysis and Burn are the only ones that cut stats.  Do you know the difference between Poison and Badly Poison?

It looks good to me.

I just recently fought Cynthia again. I forgot how much of a whore her Spiritomb could be.

I think Steven is harder than her.

[Police Girl]

Badly Poison rarely happens, but I know it cuts more health the longer it goes, whereas poison is a consistent drain.

[Sakura Leic]

It doesn't rarely happen certain moves have Badly Poison as an effect such as Toxic and if you layer Toxic Spikes twice.
