I am Sewaddle! Like the Pokemon from the generation nobody seems to like, lol... ^^'

Anyway, not brilliant with introductions, but hey! I'm hoping to have a great time here as time goes on.

Welcome!

What else do you like besides Pokemon?

Also, what brought you to Vizzed besides the obvious? Like, why did you decide to start posting?

Sewaddle :   Heya Sewaddle.  Welcome to one of the best gaming sites out there.  I hope you have lots of fun and we get to hear from you a lot

geeogree : Thanks! I consider myself a starting collector, I'm now working on finding PS2 games to add to the collection.

EDIT: I was just randomly searching video game forums on Google, and Vizzed popped up, lol. I'm actually not useing the emulators on the site. I'd rather play the real thing on my consoles. ^^'

So you're here for the forum? That's what I like to hear

Most people who come to Vizzed are here to play games on the emulators instead of spending time on the forums. Since I take care of the forums and not the emulators this makes me happy

Anyway, if you need any help on the forum just let me or the other staff know.

Welcome to the site! I'm always happy to see new members join the site! Especially ones that are here for the Forums!

I know you stated that you are not here to play the emulators, and would rather play them on your consoles (I was the same way for a long time) but the site does have some cool features that you wouldn't find on the retro consoles.

Like the ability to "netplay" with other users and play multiplayer games with them over the internet

The Ability to take screenshots and record video of the footage and post right to Youtube.

The ability to save at any point of the game

(And much more!)

Something to keep in mind anyways!

I'm an avid collector myself! So it's always cool to see a new user trying to collect. Make sure to add the games you own to your "collection" using the "Video Game Room" It's a pretty cool feature!

Sewaddle : Welcome to Vizzed!

Yeah a lot of people give Generation 5 flack in particular for the pokemon designs, it's personally my favorite along with 2 because of many of the improvements the games brought. I think a lot of people just like to hate on it specifically because it's the cool thing to do, if you actually think about it you'll realize generation 1 and such was if anything less imaginative in terms of Pokemon for example so many Pokemon evolving into duo or trio forms of themselves being common (Dugtrio, Dodrio, Magneton, Weezing) or the pinnacle of lame evolution Electrode that's basically the same Pokemon upside down and with different eyes...

But yeah going off on a rant there '^^ Hope you'll enjoy your time on the site there's definietly a lot to do, like checking out the extensive retro game rom library that has a lot of Pokemon games/hacks as well, meeting and discussing with people on the forums and even the chatroom and a minecraft server. I know from experience that things can be a bit overwhelming at first here though. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask

Zlinqx : Looking at it objectively I agree that generation 1 had very simplistic designs, but I think generation 1 can be excused for that, seeing as how it was the start of something from which the creator wasn't even sure about if it was going to be a success or not. The creatures where supposed to be recognizable, that's why they had their charm back then. That's an awesome profile picture.

Welcome to vizzed!
How big is your PS2 collection so far? What is your rarest game?

Welcome to vizzed As Jordan said, there are definitely some benefits to playing the games in the RGR, but the forums are great too. That's mainly what I do now anyways But again, welcome and be sure to have fun while you're here

Vanelan : Thank you! I already submitted my entire PS2 collection on my profile so far, minus some games that aren't in the Video Game Room... My rarest PS2 game so far is probably ICO, which I managed to get in at a flee market, complete and in really good condition! It's one of my favourite games in my collection as it's not only difficult to find, but also actually good ^^'

Ah, yes...an excellent game, although it was a bit frustrating trying to get the girl to follow you sometimes...
How do you feel about its spiritual successor Shadow of the Colossus?

Vanelan : I found the shadows themselves much more annoying because there seemed to be no end to them at some points, and swinging your stick or sword didn't really work in narrow spaces, which the game had plenty of...

Shadow of the Colossus is amazing. When I finally manage to find it in retro stores or on a garage sale somewhere, I'd buy it in a second. I managed to find ICO, so I'll find Shadow of the Colossus.
