Hehe.

It could be a New Year's special!!!!

LOL, just kidding. XD

I couldn't resist saying that......
 
Episode 3 is now <a href="http://pocketmonsters.edwardk.info/Bulbacast_Episode_3%2896kbps%29.mp3.torrent">released</a>.
 
Way better quality than last week's.

Good show. ^^ Although I can't really listen to the bit with me in it. It physically hurts.
 
I think we should do a mic check with the guests before we start the segment, this way that other people can actually hear them correctly. IMO Ekowc's mic was a bit too loud, and DoctorOak's was a bit too low.
 
BulbaCast Episode 3 Feedback

Liked the intro this week. Well done.

[HASHTAG]#Bulbacast[/HASHTAG] channel was quite active during the recording of the episode.

Kasumi/Misty is the best charcter. As many of you know she is my favorite character. No kasumi bashing! Archaic: "Hot Misty on Kasumi action." Like thats ever going to happen. Though it may get ratings up and maybe they will replace May/Haruka and put Misty back in the show. Note my comment about May from Bulbacast #2. I'm not much of a Haruka fan, she's an airhead.

Its nice to see people like Ekowc calling in. Cutting/Live thing may get more people to call in. LOL at pbs comment.

Pearl/Diamond thread I created: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=10221 It has some of my ideas that I think should be included as well as others comments.

I dont think there should be any more evolutions to the current pokemon. New pokemon need to be created and they also need to be original ones. I think more digital pokemon like porygon would be neat since they plan to have internet play. Perhaps a bunch of Wifi pokemon? A new type of Pokemon, Net Type?

Create your own custom trainer is almost a given for wifi Internet play as you want to be able to customize your character so they arent all the same. I agree with Pie, they need to expand on the Animal Crossing/Mkds create charcter. I hope Pokemon D/S learns from those games and can expand the interface. Your favourite color in the DS settings were your hair color and house color, though I agree you need to be able to change that. I doubt a custom picture upload will be able to be accomplished, though MKDS did have the create an icon thing, that could be easily implemented. In the Animal Crossing guide, there is a pixel chart (Doctor Oak mentions), those could be posted on the Net to help people. Pie get DS! A larger world would be nice and hopefully it will be able with the 1gb-4gb carts that DS is able to handle. Bottom screen map, pokedex swapping would be nice.

Woah, never thought of that, groups playing throughout the region would be cool, but then its starting to include MMORPG features, I dont see them going that detailed unfortunately. They are planning for a late 2006 release, you have to factor in development time, they would run of out time. They DO need to add more support for the Wifi interface, give it some more Xbox live like features. LOL @ stupid doggy one! Why doesnt Nintendo release a Pokemon modded version of NintenDogs?!?!

For those of you who dont know what "Filler" means, it refers to the episodes that take place between the main story of the show. The main episodes being Satoshi (and now Haruka) competing in the designated league/contest. People like Filb argue that there isnt anything called 'Filler" as all the episodes are intented to be there, but usually the 'Filler" episodes arent as good as the gym battle/main story arc episodes.

Lucario -> Orcale corruption spelt backwards is an interesting concept. I hadn't heard about this till the bulbacast. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=define:+Oracle&btnG=Search&meta= Makes sense though.

500 pokemon would be a nice round number. 386->500 is quite reasonible. The trivia part of the Bulbacast seemed out of place. There was no detailed explaination as to how or why it was running. Enter the [HASHTAG]#PocketMonsters[/HASHTAG] website skin contest. You'll get to see your work on the website as well as get a Pokemon Dash DS cart. Its not that hard to mod a drupal theme. All you have to do is download a theme from: http://drupal.org/project/Themes and modify it. All you basically need is a image editor. You can do some programming if you want, but its not necessary.

I dont understand why they dont intergrate PictoChat into the games. It seems logical. Calling out pokemon in public would be very embarrassing.

I think PokePark will reopen next year but I dont see it lasting more then next year. Pokemon is more popular in Japan. From the videos in Pokemon Sunday and the Pokepark special, I dont see why they couldnt reopen it. I havent been to it, but it looks to me that its the equivilant of a circus park/festival park. I dont see why it couldnt reopen, or open somewhere else.

PPN's ad turned out good. Nice to hear pokemon music, wasnt it like 15% of the show and your considered ok legally? Perhaps intergrating more music? You could always air the theme song zhenlin and I worked on.

Pokemon Ranger is similar to the Pokemon Trozei, basically being an interm game till D/P are released. Not much information is available on the game other then some of the features seen in AG155 will probably be included. The DS stylus will probably be used to create those 'circles'. D/P backwards compability import I think was announced for GBA versions of Pokemon as well. Pokemon trainer stats would be very good for online play. Bonuses for being a specific profession would also be cool, perhaps certain area are locked for certain professions, ie, if your a trainer, you could only enter gym battles, not contests. Another interesting thought would be to allow people to spectate battles online, have a few spectator slots open.

Overall quality of the episode was better, sound wise, still some breathing issues and there was some loud typing.

BTW Sunain, I moved your post into this thread since we already have a Feedback thread.
 
Aww, it won't let me download it. =(

This computer must be cursed or something. Either that, or I always have bad luck when I'm on it.

Anyway, the first window downloads, but then a second one comes up and says that it can't find the specified file, path, or device, and also that I don't have permission to access the file. Huh? O_O

That doesn't make sense....

Why does it say that?


I mean, that's just weird, cause I downloaded and listened to all the other Bulbacasts. Although, to get to those, I clicked a link that brought me to that one web site (sorry, forgot what it was called). And then I clicked a link on there to download it.
 
Perhaps you don't have enough hard drive space to download the file. Try uninstalling unneeded programs.
 
Oh, how big is the file exactly?

And I would uninstall some of these programs, the problem is that I don't actually own this computer (it's shared between me and my brother).

So I don't think I could uninstall anything that's on the desktop.

Although, I could see if there's anything in my files that I could uninstall. I have a lot of stuff.
 
I was given that message the first time I clicked it, and the second time, it looked like Bittorrent had updated, and the file began downloading.
 
Yeah, I have AIM.

What's your screen name on there?

I'll open up AIM, and add you to my Buddy List.
