Dunno if someone posted this yet, but I highly approve. I always wanted to see this kind of adaption when I was a kid. It's kinda like why SMT games appeal to so much to me; I love to see what people come up with from literal and mythological sources.

Ah, I'd heard about this at Penny Arcade. They pretty much just had a laugh at the game's existence. It sounds like it could be awesome, but also, I can see why someone would start laughing uncontrollably at the idea of Dante from the Inferno taking on a role like Dante from Devil May Cry...

I could see it work in a point and click adventure kind of way. Kind of like the Terry Pratchett ones for tone actually. Quest For Glory kind of touched on the feel a little in 4 I think, but the Prince of Shapeir is pretty competent.

I haven't read the article yet, but I remember right after it happened, I went on the EVE forums to check it out (I may pick it up after the school year is over) and I just remember the Goons bragging about the damage they did. I can't see the people there turning down the money, especially with the way they hated BoB...

http://www.sporcle.com/games/pokemon.php

How many of the 151 original pokemon can YOU name in 12 minutes?!?!

First try was 90, with spelling screwing me over big time on some of them. Second go was 112 pokemans, with spelling still screwing me over but less so than the time before. I can't believe I almost forgot pikachu though... >_>

131 for gen 1.
66 for gen 2.

Not bad, though I can't believe I forgot a few of these (Wobbuffet? I have betrayed you!)

I say this as someone who knows nothing about the Watchmen except for its tone and subversion of the prototypical Heroes Save The World story:

Awesome.

Cute concept, but ultimately "annoying" is the word I would use to describe the end result. Neat concept, just... doesn't really hash out well.
