That's pretty cool. The music actually changes when your pokemon's HP is low.
I'm looking forward to black and white, but I don't want to have to buy the 3DS, then, I also want harvest moon for 3DS.

I never really liked 3rd gen. Pokemon. 4th wasn't that good, either. I kinda want Heart Gold, however.

Oh yeah... I'm going to get a 3DS for Harvest Moon, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario... Darnit Nintendo, stop releasing all the good games on devices I don't have!

...What is this I don't even- *ahem*

The law eschews the ESRB rating system, and demands a separate set of descriptors be applied. It describes a violent game as one in which "the range of options available to a player includes killing, maiming, dismembering, or sexually assaulting an image of a human being." The bill also details what it means by each of those words and extends its description to include characters with "substantially human characteristics."
What is 'violent'? What are 'substantially human characteristics'? Does Pikachu have those characteristics? Does Sonic commit heinous acts of violence every time he uses a homing attack on a robot?

According to the bill, a game falls under the law if "a reasonable person, considering the game as a whole, would find it appeals to a deviant or morbid interest of minors...it is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the community as to what is suitable for minors...or it causes the game, as a whole, to lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors."
What defines a reasonable person? What do they mean by 'appeals to morbid interests'? Does this mean that if I enjoy level grinding in Fire Emblem, I'm a terrible, morbid person and FE12 should be rated 'VIOLENT'? What if person X kills mooks in Disgaea simply for a form of stress relief?
Does the community, as a whole, have any business in a legal adult's home? What if family A lives in a Bible Belt community? Does this mean that now you have to do back round checks for simple minors who live in this community simply to find out if they can buy Pokemon Black? Why do we need to know everyone's opinions on if Mario is a good game for little Johnny? Also...
IT'S. A. GAME. The definition is as follows: A game is a structured activity, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more concerned with the expression of ideas. So WHY IN THE WORLD are you criticizing simple pastimes? It doesn't need massive political, religious, or educational undertones! IT'S. A. GAME!!
Gah, this ticks me off so much! One final question... What if a minor already has this 'questionable' material? Can they barge into my house and arrest me for possessing such heinous material as 'Mother 3', 'Tales of the Abyss' and 'Skies of Arcadia'?
