    He teaches, but it's just so casual and so crazy.

    You know what would be awesome? A pokemon style game where you controlled your pokemans in the fashion of a third person action/brawler game, instead of a turn based RPG.

    The mystery dungeon games are a third person action rpgish thing where you are a pokemon.

    I have been vacillating over getting that for a long time

    One the one hand- Action RPG-ish thing with pokemon

    on the other

    The whole plot is that you have inexplicably turned INTO a pokemon, and I feel weird about that

    Weird like titillated?

    You know you wanna.

    Inq I would play LoL with you tonight but I will probably crash when I get home, I've been very sick and getting through today is going to be a struggle.

    It's okay, tonight is my boardgame night so I'm not available anyway.

    I hope you get over your cold soon! Drink plenty of water and get lots of rest. :D

    I just remembered a scene in the second Monkey Island game.

    You were in a swamp, and bumped into future Guybrush on the other side of a gate.

    Later, of course, you end up being that future Guybrush meeting your past self, and then you had to repeat exactly what happened in the past or you'd cause a paradox.

    That must be in the third game because I just finished the second game and it was not in it.

    I like them because they've got little personalities in their little lizard brains. Some are shy, some are social, some are dominant, some are submissive. Some like to run around and some like to sit on you where it's warm.

    My exact thought

    I took it further and was like

    Okay what if, since each pokemon learns four attacks, you could map attacks to each directional input ala smash brothers

    So like tackle is 6 b, tail whip is 2 b, etc for say...squirtle

    and then you have general melee attacks

    I realize that making this game, with all the pokemon (even just the original 150), and access to all the moves they learn, and animations for each pokemon for each move, would be a herculean task

    but it would be fucking sweet

    Delicious! What I liked was I seperated the meat so my wife could have hers the way she wanted (no jalapenos, mushrooms, and a mild chedder) and I could make mine as spicey as I wanted. The best of both worlds. F ever getting regular patties again, I'm making my own and having these meatball burgers instead, way way more tasty.

    Well, Devil summoner essentially does this and it has over 200 demons.

    It's pretty easy if you just give each one a generic "strength move" "buff" and "special attack" animation.
