So I borrowed Drinky's copy for a couple minutes today to do 'THE QUIZ' which decides which pokemon I am the most like through 'several questions'.
First off, I am apparently a mudkip. The first test run said I was something else, but I dont remember. Now my problem isnt so much with the results as the consistancy of the results, granted I probably didnt run the quiz enough to get a good batch of results, but the fact I didnt get even CLOSE to the same evaluation shows one thing about this quiz:
It lacks context.
For example, I am asked how much I would fill a bucket if I found it. Now I know this game may be made for kids and they might have an instant answer pulled from their 'pure' souls, however I am 26 and a cynic. If I am going uphill I wouldnt want much water, but what if it was the end of the world and it was fresh water I would want it full but what if I want it full but I have to carry it up an incline and it would just make me tired and unable to outrun the religion zealots that populate the post apocalyptic landscape.
I ran into another question about me having the lights on or off when I sleep. Apparently if I like to turn the lights off when I sleep, I am afraid and timid. What? That was for the first test. Afraid and Timid.
They ask: If you found a chest -- I chose its a trap, because I am PARANOID, not timid. However the game called me a pussy and I got some lame pokemon the first time. The second run through it said I was all in touch with my feelings or some shit and got mudkip.
I think if these questions were given some context we would have motivations and that would provide a much clearer picture and most likely avoid another flawed analysis of my personality in relation to a fictional animal from a japanese cartoon.

Why are you guys playing this crap.

Hey, I didnt buy it. My curiosity is piqued by stupid personality tests.

It's a ROGUELIKE. Fuck the POKEYMANS; it's a FUCKIN' GODDAMN PORTABLE ROGUELIKE.
If you don't know what a "roguelike" is, Willco, you are BENEATH CONTEMPT.

Gimme a day or two to kick it around. I'm still doing like, tutorial shit. I have a feeling it may be too easy for my roguelike tastes, though.

It's pretty stupid easy so far, and the graphics are sad, even for the ol' gutless DS. That said, it's still a portable roguelike -- if you like Nethack or any of the Mysterious Dungeon games, it's worth a look-see at the very least.

Pokemons are for 11 year old girls
Pokemans are for kick ass domestic cats

Hey that would be a good present for girls.

If I was pretty big on Pokemon at one point and pretty big on nethack at one point should I either:
a) Buy this game
b) Accept that I'm a big nerd and end myself
?

c) all of the above, natch
