Jesus....and you've watched it all?
I'm not Jesus, I'm a close second. And I've probably gone through... Two thirds of it all. It's really all about what I'm in the mood for at a current time and not watching just because I can. I haven't watched a new series in almost a month since I'm not in a proper mood for anything.

They were all in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If that were the case they wouldn't be captured, silly English phrases...

Well, I beat it.
That was the easiest final boss I've ever fought in a Fire Emblem game. I was a little disappointed.
Try and beat her without the Sword of Seals. Oh and you can't use Divine Weapons on any of her kids. That should make it a spell harder if you didn't RNG of save state abuse.
Also it doesn't matter if you break a divine weapon after you get past 22 since the plot point is that with all 8 gathered they lead you to the temple. They can all be at one use and you'd be dandy.

I found a nice broker to help bring my collection up to snuff, I probably saved 4,000 dollars overall. Note that this doesn't include my VHS, or recorded off TV or bootlegs (I only have one for a series not released in the states)

I feel the need to show you kiddies the horrors of being caught in a forest fire, (Or any fire in general) as to not trivialize it into banter.
Would that be against the rules to show burn victims?
-
well they are, get used to it.
I refuse to, emulators are for the weak and lazy. I never emulate and never will.

Pokemon is far deeper than Eva. Naturally, all those little kids out here might be fascinated by giant robots with bloody hands, awkward religious references, primitive 50-year-old psychology, and the badly constructed Cabbalistic ritual of Final Unification. But I can only say – time to grow up and watch Pokemon! And I have even decided to start a new thread to show you why.
1. Visual Art
A real artist does not concern himself with following the simplistic aesthetics of the masses. Instead he twists the common kitch into a whole new dimension, which may seem epatage to narrow-minded bourgoise Westerners accustomed to realistic color, fluent animation, and anthropomorphic character design. The creator of Pokemon, Mr Zebrinsky-Takahachi, possesses a deep understanding of postmodernistic art ideas and tendencies, which allows him to freely combine the old, battered impressionism with streaks of primitivism, cubism, and the dysfunctional art of Warschaw mental asylum #3 inhabitants, into one gloriously unorthodox picture. While some believe this to be a symbol of his contempt towards the Mongolian clay painting schools of early 1360’s, my personal feeling is that Pokemon Art is a masterfully used medium for bringing us some of the more advanced symbols conveying the interpretation of our surrounding pseudo-reality.
For instance, look at the “Pokemon” color scheme – note the usage of only solid colors, without any hues and soft transitions whatsoever! Only an ignorant neoplatonic would argue with this symbolizing the internal unity of Universe in a system known to masses as the 7-color rainbow. But this conclusion is suddenly threatened by the absence of hues – since any natural rainbow that we know possesses smooth transitions between colors. Exactly – any NATURAL rainbow! Pokemon Art demonsrates how the peaceful perfection of Nature is ruined by Man and his artificial doings, thus leading to a revolutionary idea – that Kellippot, the evil reflections of Sephiroth, are actually the result of Man’s actions! Which of course means that Man is the antagonist of God!
2. Symbolism in “Pokemon”.
Wherever Ash and his team goes, he meets the same people (Team Rocket with same motto, police girl, Pokemon center girl etc) and does the same things (fight Team R, capture Pokemon etc). The only basic difference is the Pokemon themselves. What does this tell us? That there’s no “spacial” journey to speak of, nor any “time” journey. The place and time are the same – nothing/infinity. The characters are symbols of primal forces, locked in a neverending interaction – a striking resemblance to the Tree of Sephiroth. The Pokemon are the only thing “out” of this system, yet the primal goal is their incorporation. Therefore it is possible to assume that Pokemon are a symbol of human souls, being lured into the struggle of Powers.
“Pokemon” is founded on the basic conflict of two opposing forces – the Trinity of Ash/Misty/Brock and the Trinity of James/Jessie/Meowth. The Star of David is constructed of two intertwined triangles – one black, the other white – the interconnections of powers of expansion and impansion, Fire and Water. In Cabbalistic terms expansion could be considered as the existence and freedom of mankind, whereas impansion is the reverse process – the return into primeval Unity/Nothingness. So which Trinity is which?
Consider that the current state of our world is expansion. Consider that Ash and his team are in a journey to DO something, i.e. change the status quo. Consider that Team Rocket tries to stop them. And you will find the answer.
Ash Ketchum. Ever thought about the significance of that name? Ash is earth, from which Adam was created. However, it is not simple earth but burned out earth, and as heard in “ashes to ashes” is the symbol of human Death.
But look again at that line from the final prayer. “Ash’s to Ash” – which means that the dead belong to Ash, and are prompty returned to him in an ancient ritual of burying. This leads us to believe that Ash’s realm is considered to be under ground.
Ketchum. A phonetical double of “Catch ’em”. Ash’s purpose is to catch the wandering Pokemon into his sphere of power, or realm. What associations does this immediately summon? Jesus Christ was once named a “Catcher of humans”, meaning he collects souls. But so does Lucifer. So how can we decide which one of them Ash symbolizes?
Considering the underground realm, and the fact that Ash uses the captured to do his bidding and spread his power, we might vote for the latter choice. But once we take into account that Jesus Christ was/is also using his followers to increase his power on Earth, and that people still have to die and be returned to Ash’s whether or not their souls are in the grip of the Dark Lord, another idea begins to unfold. The creator of Pokemon considered Christ and Satan alike in their drive for souls, and Ash Ketchum is a symbol of BOTH.
Hence the controversial design of the Pokeball. It is a sphere, the form which was considered Perfection by Platon and some other Greek philosophers. But its perfection is ruined by the division into Red and White halves. Red is an effective substitute for Black, and the Pokeball clearly bears resemblance to the everpresent Good/Bad, Ying/Yan, the dialectic principle of the struggle and unity of opposites. To further this symbol into Cabalistic realms, the Pokeball is the Unity of Adam’s White Moon and Lilith’s Black Moon.
Now the female aspect of God in the Tree of Sephiroth is Shekina, who resides in Malkuth. Lilith is the head of the Inversed Tree of Kelippot. Therefore the Unification of Lilith with the male aspect of God (Adam) is forbidden, since it would mark the triumph of Kelippot, the demonic shells of Chaos.
By catching Pokemon (souls), Ash increases the power of this forbidden unity, thereby bringing closer the End of the World as we know it.
Did you notice the meaning of Ash rotating his cap backwards? It marks his will of inverting the current Universe. Have you ever wondered why Ash is wearing cut-up gloves? The same reason why Ikari Gendo does – he has Stigmata on his palms, the marks of suffering for another. However, Ash’s gloves have their fingers cut off, thus explicitely pointing out the imperfection, or even falsehood, of his Stigmata. He bears the Sign of God, yet it is a false sign… He is the unity of Christ and Satan… He struggles towards Inversion, Chaos and Destruction… He is the Anti-Christ. The final antagonist of God.
And his journey is nothing more and nothing less than the Prelude to Apocalypse.
How exactly does Team Rocket attempt to stop Ash? They have undergone the Purification ritual, dressed in white clothes (symbol of purity), soothed their hair with yelei (the substance used to mark Kings for ruling). They have chanted the recitation (commonly known as “motto”), and formed the Triangle. They have drawn the sacred circle, and turned it into a rip in the space-time continuum, a black hole, a door out of this world. A grave, effectively. This ritual of banishment, designated to send Ash to his plane of residence (underground), definitely shows Team Rocket as practicioning Cabbalists. Or rather, as powers whose actions are manifested in the material plane as cabbalistic rituals.
Finally, the most obvious yet most important symbol of all - The symbol of “Pokemon” itself. Utilizing one of the numerical techniques of Gematria (summing the numbers of original letters) - p16 + o15 + k11 + e5 + m13 + n14 = 74. 7+4 =11. The number of Sephiroth, counting the hidden Sephiroth Da’at. Note how easily Mr Zebrinsky-Takahachi breaks the Cabalistic tradition of excluding the eleventh Sephiroth (either Da’at or Kether). In fact, we may openly admit that “Pokemon” is the first TRUE incarnation of the Tree of Sephiroth, therefore the only TRUE PATH TO GOD!
So the question is... PROVE ME WRONG.

I'll play this game you rouges... I forget were exactly I decided on the user name. It was in 1999, so don't say Fire Emblem. But the Underscore was because when I played Beta 3 Counter-Strike, it didn't register a space so my name would come up as 'Black'. Dropping the C4 anywhere on the map, Good times...
-
Bite the bullet and get them imported like I did. It's a pain in the ass since you stumble around at first but you get the hang of it. I refuse to recognize Emulators as a way to play the game.
BTW, if I can figure out how to upload the Video Tape footage that came with the Tharicia 776 Collector's box I imported, can someone translate it?
-
Separate thought, yes I post separate thoughts in separate posts since the edit button was originally used to amend information that was previously posted and not to add... I digress...
About these rules, there are a couple of vagaries here like number 1. When you say flaming, do you mean outright personal attacks on the person, or would it include mocking them or making smartass comments, because there is a distinction between the two. Would you also define being a ne'er'-do-well or plainly dickish behavior as flaming as well, even when it's not directed at one individual? Since one could argue the way I am stating my requests for clarification airs a certian amount of contemptibility.
Also are staff immune to these rules because in to many places I have seen 'do as we say, not as we do' policies because they have the right to insult people they don't like or infringe on the forum rules. I like consistency.
As with number 4, define nudity. Or we just talking about the primary sex organs or does this include secondary sexual characteristics as well? Aside from the organic, what if one where to post tasteful art? I got a quite wonderfully sketched image of Wendy, none of the vulgarities one assumes is in such an image. I'm also brushing aside the TOS for this host, (was it vBulletin?) pending to see if I dealt with them before. Oh yes, the 'think of the children' argument does not apply since I take the George Carlin approach to children and also this is a fan site where the games object is to murder everyone who opposes you on the map. Violence is okay, but nudity? Stupid American double standards.
Be happy I'm getting this off my chest now and not decided to do the guess, check and revise approach like I normally do.
I've penciled you in for a 5:00 beating by Ike.Are we talking about the Radiant Dawn Ike or Path of Radiance Ike? Because I'd prefer the former since the latter came off as a douchebag. Not as bad as that fanatical drone Tanith, but still...
-
Yet another place to set up shop, and with no political or debate forum, by god... I might survive for more than a month.
To any old people who remember me from FESS, FEF or FEP, I say hello to you.
To anyone new or born after 1993, what the hell are you doing here?! It's a goddamn school night! STUDY! STUDY!! STUDY!!!
We'll see where this goes from here since I do enjoy the information pages of Serenes Forest.
