PokéMets

Bumped from FanPosts.

------------------------------------------

(Criss Angel Couldn't Make Frenchy Vanish gave me the inspiration with his Pokémon card-themed Fanpost)

I, of course, am not a PokéMet master, and as such, I am missing PokéMets in my PokéDex. If anyone has seen other PokéMets, be sure to share them. Likewise, if people have descriptions of PokéMets that my PokéDex does not, by all means, share:

YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT POKEMON??? BLASPHEMY

YOU MUST ASSIMILATE. YOU MUST LEARN. BECOME. ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US………

J/K

Pokemon was a very popular anime show/card game/etc. that reached it’s peak height in the late 90s. It was about specially trained people who could catch wild creatures called “Pokemon”.

Yes, it was extremely retarded in hindsight. But when you’re 10, almost anything looks cool.

by Syler on Sep 4, 2010 11:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Actually I knew a bit of that

As a camp counselor we figured out that we could get little kids to stop bothering us by making them play the “Pokemon game.” This meant they had to go around in a circle rattling off Pokemon characters until one of them couldn’t — then he was out. There would be fierce conflicts among the kids, of course, and we were extremely inattentive (and inexpert) referees.

Role-Playing game

More often than not, it’s strategy-oriented, and you play a character who embarks on some sort of journey that follows a storyline. World of Warcraft is, perhaps, the most famous RPG ever (It’s an MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing game).

I'd argue Final Fantasy is more famous than World of Warcraft

FF VII was one of the first video games to legitimately break into the mainstream, with commercials and trailers and all that stuff.

There's a huge distinction between D&D and World of Warcraft...

In D&D you made up the environment, it was not prepacked for you. So if you wanted an adventure on Jupiter, there was a way to do it. Also, there was no such thing as a wall you could not get through or around somehow.

I wonder about the Legendaries, though

Like, for instance, Seaogre (Tom Seaver + Kyogre), Ho-joh (Hojo + Ho-oh), Dockrom (Dwight “Doc K” Gooden + Zekrom) and of course, Mewtuuu (Mewtwo + Tuuu Timp)

As someone who owned Pokemon Blue

I can honestly say that people who owned Pokemon Red were the flowing locked master race. They had Electabuzz, Scyther, Arcanine, Primeape…we had Magmar, the Pokemon with a butt for a forehead.

I have been researching 4chan memes today....

Mostly because I had to figure out why Jews and Republicans deny the existence of ceiling cat. Some stuff on there is hilarious. Most of it is just strange, which is likewise hilarious if viewed in the correct light. Personally, having now known what a Mudkip was 48 hours ago, I think both the origin myth (all people have origin myths) and the existence are wildly entertaining.

by MookieTheCat on Sep 7, 2010 12:35 AM EDT up reply actions  

I am a Jew, and am registered Republican (even though I'm a moderate Democrat)

and I am going to have to deny the existence of ceiling cat, because I don’t know what it is. And, as we all know, we have to hate, fear, and ignore things that we don’t understand.

David Wright: Infernape— Wright, like Infernape, does a number of things well without being the best at any of them, causing him to become underrated. Infernape has a good base 104 Attack and 104 Special attack, similar to the way Wright has good, even spread of component offensive skills (average, power, patience). With the right teammates, Wright and Infernape can both slot into a variety of spots in the lineup. Both share average defenses and plus speed. The sum of the parts in each case is one of the best in the game.

Carlos Beltran: Metagross— Metagross is a plus pokemon on offense and defense with a base 135 Attack, and 130 Defense. Its speed and health, however, are easily diminished, like Beltran’s. Metagross also buckles under ground attacks, like Beltran’s knees.

Jose Reyes: Alakazam—With an extremely specialized attack skills (135 spA) and one of the most enviable base-speeds in the game (120), Alakazam can outrun most anything. Poor HP, however, (base 55) forces trainers to frequently take Alakazam out of their lineups as a precautionary measure. Make no mistake: Alakazam is still a great pokemon and a viable lead. Better competition, however, makes him less impressive than during his early years.

Luis Castillo: Golem— In the 90’s, Golem was a viable defensive specialist with some attack. Awful speed (45 base) makes him totally unviable now. Many people, blinded by nostalgia, still believe Golem is good. It also makes its teammates look worse with no supporting-movepool.

Wow, this is pretty interesting

I’m guessing that their UZRs and WAR components were broken down, and then compared side-by-side with the existing Pokémon, like so:

HP = Health (For that matter, Chansey NEVER gets injured)
ISO = Attack
OPS = Special attack
UZR = Defense

  1. Plays = Special defense
    Speed = Speed

So with this in mind, I would assume that Willie Mays would be a perfect fit for Arceus.

Yea

I am kinda with mookiethecat on this one. By the time pokemon got big in 99 I was about 13-14 and learned that 10 dollars could be a pack of newports and a 12 pack of natty ice. From that point forward I had a lot more fun. Now if there were some way to do this with metal gear or super baseball 2020 then we would be good, but alas not enough character.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
