Well, my name is Shauni Maple. I am 20yrs of age. AND I FUCKING LOVE GAMES.
I've been playing video games since the age of three, and to this day I am constantly playing games; I am a hardcore fan of RPGs and JRPGs. However I do like classic point-and-click games, like Grim Fandango, Curse of monkey Island. Diskworld is pretty neat too. I have played every Final Fantasy game, and beaten 1 through 10-2. ;3 (Some 100%). And my boyfriend has gotten me into rhythm games like, DDR, Elite Beat Agents, etc etc.
The consoles I've own/ed are:
-Sega Megadrive
-SNES
-Nintendo 64
-Playstation X
-Playstation 2 & PS2 Slim
-Gameboy colour
-Gameboy Advance
-Gameboy Advance SP
-Gameboy Micro
-DS
-DS Lite
-Xbox 360
-Playstation 3
-PSP
-(SOON TO BE) 3DS
... I think that is all of them. xD
My favourite Games are: Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts Series, Eternal Sonata, Tales of saga, Chrono Trigger, any Mario games, Phoenix Wright Series, Pokemon <3, Grim Fandango, Sims, Rockband/Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto, etc etc.
But yeah, living in the UK is fun, due to being able to do Games Design at Bolton University <3 Game releases can be awful over here though!
Aswell as loving video games, I love anime, manga, drawing and anything Japanese really. :P I also love my wonderful Boyfriend of 4yrs and 5months, who is doing Computer Software and Development at Bolton University.
What was your team, by the way? And I heard a lot of the criticism of RS was not only the fact that it was like it was trying to be a reboot of the franchise, but because roughly half of the Pokes were in the other version. Designs aside...Third gen is really the only one I haven't played much of. Did you have trouble with certain gyms of whatever type? Elite 4? Pokedex fill rate?
I kinda wish they stuck with the 1st and 2nd gen pokemon; I had an attachment to the older pokemon, whereas there aren't many pokemon in the new generations that I want to really have in my team, like a 'MUST HAVE' feeling. I just like my Eevees~ But in this quick-run of saphire, I just mainly used elemental pokemon. :)
And team? What do you mean? xD The 'Team Aqua' people?
@bluemeep: Its a fun game and all, just wish there were more old pokemon. :3
Typhlosion
Ampharos
Skarmory
Quagsire
Espeon
Umbreon
:D
Eevee, Gyarados, Combusken, Gloom, Tailow and Makuhita.
I can't wait for SS to hit so I can roll with my all-Normal team. :D
I will catch them all one day...
Around 300 caught/traded in D/P/Pt. Never got over that in any other Pokemon games, because I never really traded.
You don't know what trading open's up for one...
Also, dropped 10 bucks each on reserves for HG and SS today. I feel good.
I suppose I'm gonna have to really get into trading.
(man, I hope the auto spell on the Zune didnt fuck this up too bad...)
You didn't miss the pikachu colored pichu just yet. IIRC the event goes until Feb. 14th. I'm going to gamestop to get mine today, I always forget to do these event pokemon, so I'm kinda proud of myself for doing this one.
@Daed: While that's good to know, I also have no way to transfer it to HGSS without relying on others. I'll see about heading out to GS in the near future though.
Pokemon and Final fantasy games really got me to like games in general. :)
You should give them a try if you like RPGs. Pokemon is a game I can always go back to play. :)
I know, I should be ashamed of myself!! Hopefully one of the upcoming FF games changes things, and I've been thinking of getting a DS (currently I just borrow the one I bought for my Mom)... so at one point I may have to rectify my inexperience with pokemon! :)
