Just noticed that there were a girl face in NieR's manual look at the bottom of the pic :
(Moreover some magic skills show for one or two frames a lion head, very hard to notice, the same that NieR has on his back (can be seen in that pic), and the same that is on one of the twohanded swords.)
This sword I think :

Yes, and posted on this very page (or previous one if you use 50 posts per page).... this thread is slowly becoming another 'pics that make you laugh' with the constant reposts. If it was lost a long time ago, ok, but not if it was posted on the previous page dammit >.>Gomu Gomu said:
i dont know if it really fits this topic, but...it just occured to me that the wiimote+nunchuck design nintendo is using for the wii now, is basically a modern n64 controller...broken in half (or thirds, with the left third being gone).
The nunchuck has the exact identical feel of holding a gun-trigger in your hand, with the analog-stick directly on top of it. The wiimote has the buttons, the d-pad being like the c-buttons.
well, could be nothing, but i always love the n64-controller, so it´s a nice touch imo.

Mewtwo is named as such because it's a clone of Mew which would make it Mew too, and the second Mew.
Mew.

But they knew about Mew way before making Mewtwo.

Because owning Pokemon #151 is more exciting then owning Pokemon #150, mew was a hidden secret pokemon at the time.

Many apologies if this has been posted, but it blew my mind. Famicom Disk System and GameCube have same menu sound/jingle, if GameCube sound is sped up 16x.

Did they ever say why they left out Mew in the US version? I remember reading somewhere after you collect all 150 pokemon in the JP versions, you go back to whatever city and the dude who usually gives you a diploma or something, gives you Mew.

Most LOK fans probably know this one, but here goes:
In Blood Omen, Vorador gives the fledgling Kain his Signet Ring (made of bone and blood). He hands it over with the words "It would be such a pity to lose you to The Abyss". Kain uses it to summon Vorador's aid later in the game:
Thousands of years later in Soul Reaver, the same Signet Ring is being used by Lord Kain as an earing on his left ear.
Interestingly, we first see it in recognisable detail as Kain's son is losing himself to The Abyss. Its an interesting visual reminder of Vorador's warning.
The ring is a nice little detail, never mentioned in the games, that some might not have picked up on.

No, it was event-always for every region. NA just never got the event.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
It was given out at TRU in North America and by other distributors in other regions. There were no in-game methods to catch event Pokemon back then like there are now.Andrex said:

For RBY? I'm pretty sure there was no legitimate way to get Mew in those games.
Andrex said:
There were a couple of different events. I know there was at least one Nintendo Power sweepstakes, and I very clearly remember there being a Black Friday event at TRU one year where you could get a Mew if you were lucky enough to get a winning card.
I never won, though.

There was an event in the UK as well. I remember the weird machines they had that looked like it had a Super Famicom inside running some sort of software from a Super Game Boy. Pretty cool actually
They had upcoming games being showed off there too that you could play. Like Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Pinball, which weren't yet out here at the time.

You get Mew with a Gameshark and a big middle finger to Nintendo for stupid lockouts. Welp, hope you enjoyed my shocking game secret.
I sent my Pokemon Yellow cartridge to Nintendo Australia. The next week: BAM! A Mew in my party! I was the first guy in primary school to have Mew, and it was that ace up my sleeve that let me do that duplicating trade trick with everyone at school constantly until I filled my pokedex.
Good times.
Good times.

There were some glitches to get a 'legit' (as in not GameShark) Mew in Red & Blue, but they were found so far afterwards it mainly went under the radar as a "Haha thats cool." thing.
Certainly not as big a deal as it would have been back then "ZOMG ZOMG MEW ZOMG" etc.
The proper way was from Nintendo events, sadly things like that never happened here in NZ so I had to hax to complete 151.

According to Ken Sugimori, Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever designed. It was also the first one programmed into the Generation 1 titles.
Remember the icon used for all generic Pokemon and the league statues?

Just want to add something I only just discovered about Sonic Adventure 1
The monkey badniks in this game throw bombs at you which blow up after a few seconds but I never realised you could PICK THE BOMBS UP to throw back :lol as I was pretty sure touching them blew them up, guess my memory is wrong since I always avoid the bombs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6To5Y7ZdNc#t=03m09s
I am sure some other badniks throw these bombs at some point later in the game too, I need to try it on my dreamcast copy.

OK I knew about Rhydon being the 1st pokemon that was designed, but I never thought about this being the reason why it was the most common generic pokemon icon. Makes perfect sense
