HappyHaunter, if you or anyone else are still having problems on Bulba, please let me know. The issue we had was with a particular advertising network which had been infected by malware. We completly removed that ad network back on the 2nd. It took several days after that for everyone to remove...

I don't believe the rules are anywhere online, sorry. Closest you might find that's still online are pages from fansites, such as the following page on Bulbapedia. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Trading_Figure_Game

I'd expect it was all uses of Nintendo's copyrights and trademarks without permission and for the purpose of profit. So that'd include both sprites and names, amongst other things.

Bulbagarden is launching a free app (with no ads, ever) within about a month's time for iOS platforms (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad), so I hope not too many of you have been ripped off by app makers demanding payment. Particularly since it's actually illegal for them to charge for those apps...

I don't even know what you mean by memory banks. Memory resides in the brain, there are no separate "memory banks". Your comment that "the brain obviously isn't working" isn't correct either. Unless there's some kind of sudden brain trauma, the brain is most certainly still working, even as...

What you looked up would be mostly psudo-science and supernatural material that's never been subjected to proper academic analysis. NDE's are reasonably well understood by medical science, even if all the mechanisms aren't entirely explained as of yet. They know it well enough that they've been...

If you got them without bases, then they're not figures for the trading figure game, they're just regular figures.

Lacking the attack doughnut, so potential fakes. Got photos of the bottoms for us at all, or are those blank?

If you want to pass on any messages to George, either myself or Politoed666 will be more than happy to let him know that you're enjoying his articles. You can expect a new one within the next 12 hours.

I don't suppose they had a picture of the base? It'd be pretty obvious if it was a promo. Also...how is it that this game never took off when Penny Arcade did a comic on it?

It might not necessarily be a promo. If it's the same sculpt as the chess piece, I'm inclined to think more that they just used the same sculpt over. When did the chess pieces come out? It's possible many of them were just the moulds from the unreleased TFG set, which were repurposed.

I've never seen any images of it before, if it does exist. Which set is it meant to be from, Groundbreakers or the unnamed 3rd set?

Judging by the numbers of these still found on ebay, I think it was a bit more than a test print. The supplies of some figures do seem to be running dry however. I've looked high and low for Erika (the only one I really want for collectable value, unless there's a Bulbasaur or Gardevoir found...

With regards to the rule on profanity, I would suggest that this be clarified for the users, perhaps even with a text file of the profanity list being made publicly available for viewing (made as an attachment to the first post of this thread, for instance). If there was something non-US centric...

I don't know what the most productive way of shuffling is, but I do know what the most cheating way of shuffling is. I mention this for one reason. When I used to play on a regular basis (I honestly haven't even been to a league for years), even in tournament I would see players whose idea of...
