Dual Screen (or Double Screen, because when I was younger I didn't know the word "dual")
Developer's System (apparently?)
Dual Slot
Digital System
Nintendo Nitro
Nitro Indigo

In some issue of NGamer, they did a retrospective on a magazine issue from late 2004 (they reviewed The Minish Cap), and it joked that DS stood for Douglas Sinclair, the little man inside the system that makes it work.

Also, I just found out that Exeggcute's French name is Nœunœuf, and it's just so wonderful to try to pronounce. (Noof-en-oof?)

Should I make a video on foreign Pokémon names, the different English versions of Spirit Tracks, a review of Red/Blue Rescue Team, another Do Judge It By Its Cover, or Klonoa: Door to Phantomile Doesn't Make Sense?

You mean Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Doesn't Make Sense? I also sort of want to do a review of Explorers for their 10th anniversary, but I have very conflicted feelings about it/them because I simultaneously feel nostalgia bias and hype backlash towards them.

You know what? I should do a strawpoll.

The problems with explorers are actually pretty simple ones that do a lot of damage.  First of all, your partner is a total wimp for the majority of the game.  Some people might be fans of that but I prefer the eager overbearing partner from psmd.  Second, time travel is always a weak spot when it comes to story.  They didn't really pull it off.  The gameplay also suffers from your partner AI being an idiot.  I'll admit the story did have some pretty great parts (mostly the dimensional scream as a plot device is really cool) but aside from that it wasn't very remarkable in any way.  The opportunities for unlimited grinding time are fine, but I'd rather have increased experience and not be allowed to pick a non story dungeon than have to spend a few days in game just leveling up.  Explorers is also the game with amp plains in it so I can't complain about that either.  And yeah that's about it really.

They didn't really pull it off.
