I love the live version of the End Theme from that soundtrack. Have you read my review? I read yours!

But anyway when can we expect the review of diabolical box?

[blueflower999]

The other day I was inquiring about having a friend over who lives about an hour away and how we would get him over here, and my Mom said "Ooh! Maybe he can take the train!" My response: "NO. NO MORE TRAINS."

Expect the review later this week.

Oh, I just got Pokemon Snap.

[SlowPokemon]

That's cool.

Oh, I just got Pokemon Snap.

Watch out, Prof. Oak is pretty sketchy in that game, letting you use the so called "Pester Ball" to "Pester" the Pokemon into letting you take pictures of them.

It sounds like a recipe for evil... Or I just have my paranoia knob set unbearably high...

Nice avatar, Popo XD

And yeah, Oak's voice is creeping me out.

I brought Diabolical Box with me on the plane ride, and I finally feel like I've done it justice in terms of gameplay.

[SlowPokemon]

I'm looking forward to your review. ^^

But really, who the freak is Pavel. And why is he in both games. AND HOW DID HE GET TO

Spoiler

FOLSENSE

?!?

[SlowPokemon]

His thing is basically that he shows up in places that are impossible to get to--he's a terrible explorer, yet somehow gets into places that should be impossible. To use the first two games as examples:

Spoiler

Curious Village - first of all, he somehow makes it into a hidden mechanical town whose bridge crank has been stolen, blocking all access. Secondly, you find him in the TOWER which is totally inaccessible without the key, which you have XD

Diabolical Box - you find him in the phantom town only accessible via the Molentary Express, which he was not riding as far as we know, and what's more he is in the abandoned mine XD

It's one of those things like how Stachenscarfen just appears and vanishes to be mysterious. There's a set of characters in the first and second trilogies who appear in every game within those trilogies.

[blueflower999]

So I haven't seen the last of them?

[SlowPokemon]

No, not quite XD

[SlowPokemon]

Are you still planning on reviewing Diabolical Box soon?

[blueflower999]

So would that mean that

Spoiler

Stachenscarfen isn't a robot?

And yes

[SlowPokemon]

Spoiler

No--he isn't. And neither is Granny Riddleton or Pavel.

The one thing I don't quite understand is how Granny R.'s character profile in Curious Village says she's proof of "Bruno's sense of humor" implying she's a robot. But she appears in every other game in the series. I'm guessing the English translators just didn't know she would be in future games and rewrote the profile or something.
