Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
THIS IS AN EXCITING GUESTBOOK, EH?
All caps are fun. :3

I find this funny. The real fake Groudon?
I dnt hav it, but my cousins]do and i r in <3
I love this place
I got Halo 3 several weeks ago. I don't have Live either. So, since I beat it in Legendary and have all the skulls I have just about nothing to do other than screw around on Forge.
Sadly, no, I don't have Live… T_T
And yeah, Halo 3 is definitely for the win. :D
On HG, I'll play as the boy, and get Cyndaquil.
On SS, I'll play as the girl, and get Chikorita.
HALO3FTW:DDDDD Ir teh oficshal haeloh thrie whealm©n:D Sangi whats your gtttt? oh yeah you dont have XBl? o___0 [/peopleblendtogethersometimes….x_x]
*was one of the foolish ones* XD
My friend from another city came to visit me yesterday! :D I rarely see him, so we stayed up to about three o'clock talking, and frankly, I had the best freaking time since I don't know when! *is extremely happy*
Fwee, Sealeo! :D Man, I have to watch Jirachi again. *_*
It's totally a brain sucking menace. Yeah.
I really need need to stop linking to this place.
*cough*
I'll stop now.
Gahh! so much catch up reading!!! I missed you all! *hug tackles anyone foolish enough to be alive* my phone broke :(((((((( so after like a week I was like….. WIIINTERNET!!!!!!!!!! :D
In SoulSilver, I'm definitly picking the guy. For one, I'm a guy (I find this a good reason x_x), backwards baseball hat :D, WHAT'S WITH THE NEW GIRLS HAT???, and I got Charizard spammy :P
I always alternate between the female and the male characters, but I always start out a new game with the guy.
Yeah, I always catch a Diglett before battling Surge. And now I regret not bothering to find and catch a Pikachu in Viridian Forest…if I catch one now, I doubt I'll have the patience to train it.
If I get HeartGold or SoulSilver, I'm definitely playing as the male. No shorts-overalls and weird hat for me, thanks…
Well, the dub replaced all the music in the movie (including even Lugia's cry, for some bizarre reason), so I wouldn't know how good the dub music is; the Japanese music at least didn't strike me as particularly memorable, but then again that's personal taste (I know of many who think the Japanese music in that movie is amazing). I tried to refrain from reviewing the music in the movies where the music was replaced since talking about it wouldn't mean much to most people who read the reviews, who would only have seen the dub. I just had to mention the third movie's original music because I was already trying to make the point of how great that movie was, but otherwise I decided not to bring up the music if it wasn't kept in the dub.
About the Chosen One thing, even if there is something about it only working for somebody in whose hands the spheres glow or whatever (I don't remember that being mentioned in the Japanese version and I watched it twice), that doesn't help it much; it helps a little in the dub, where the prophecy actually has a specific reference to him and there could be some sort of destiny at work, but since there is no such reference to him in the Japanese version, there it would only open up the problem of exactly what makes Ash that person. And in any case, he could still just handle the actual placing the sphere on the altar, while somebody else (or more sensibly, everybody) handles actually retrieving it from the island.
Lugia used a current to get to the islands? I was under the impression Fox McCloud was referring to the current that went through the island whose disruption caused the weird weather, in which case Lugia definitely wouldn't want to dissipate it. He wouldn't need to bring it into the air to do so, anyway. It's just… really odd.
It's natural to be nostalgic about stuff you loved when you were little, but objectively, it just really isn't a very good movie. That doesn't mean you can't love it anyway, or that you can't enjoy seeing your favorite Pokémon in action (I mean, look at my love for that random Scyther that had about ten seconds of screentime in the fourth movie), but purely based on its merit as a story, well…
I think I might be able to stomach the female character's HGSS sprite. It's just that hat.
Several things. First, concerning the "Chosen One" plot, it was specifically mentioned that only the one in whose hands the spheres glow can bring harmony again (or something along those lines). This may only be in the dub, since I haven’t watched the subtitled Japanese to compare. Ironically, considering the amount of people who helped Ash out, the message "one person can make all the difference" is rather amusing to breakdown. The commercials seemed to imply this person was Ash, when in fact the movie seemed to play it more along the lines of “any contribution, no matter how small, helps.”
I'm rather biased toward this movie. All the legendary birds from the first generation plus Lugia were my favorite at the time (still are, now that I think about it…). I enjoyed seeing them on the silver screen, and that was what really made the experience great for me. Yeah, it’s a pretty pathetic reason in retrospect, but it worked when I was . . . eleven? That, and the way the screen jerked when Lugia used Hyper Beam the first time appealed such to the scope and power of the attack it made my mouth drop with a quite “wow…”.
I’m surprised you didn’t review the music. Lugia’s theme is one of my favorites, and the giant orchestra at the end was phenomenal. I also got the same impression as Fox McCloud – that the flying arch of water was the current Lugia used to get to the islands. However, I thought Lugia just brought it up to dissipate it, since he used it to get there. The dub was very poor in explaining the purpose of it. And if it was the current, what was the point of bringing it up (besides being a spectacular visual for the final scenes)?
Anyway, good review, if a little harsh. But my opinion is likely colored by nostalgia, so hard to think I can be objective about this.
@Emerald: Well, I don't think there is any good Fire/Water types before Vermilion, but if you're looking to smack St. Lurge in a battle, go to the Diglett cave and get a diglett (or Dugtrio if yor're lucky). Hehe, I'm not sure. I haven't played FR in almost a year.
Hope it helps anyhow ^.^
NOOOOOOOO! Phoenix Wright lost in round 1 of the Gamespot poll! This is a travesty! OBJECTION!
