That whole EVO thing confused me. So, EVO generally doesn't get permission from companies to stream and host their video games? And people were surprised when Nintendo complained about this? I was honestly surprised that other companies didn't do something like that.

Companies complaining about free advertising for their games? Who knew?

It's less complaining about free advertising and more asserting their trademarks and copyrights, as technically EVO would be using their copyrighted content without permission, which, if done in a professional capacity like they were doing, is illegal. They could have obtained the necessary rights to stream and such beforehand and everything would've been okay.

I don't know how copyright laws work, so I don't know if this could potentially damage their intellectual property or not. Besides, they regularly shut down fangames, online videos, Let's Plays, and other things, so why not this?

What 0dd1 said. There is a law and you gotta follow it.

I agree it was silly, but I don't blame them either. There was no reason not to at least ask first.

I lol'd at the David Bowie then. XD

If we're talking about Nintendo and EVO, apparently it was their lawyer team that disallowed it, then the higher-ups pretty much said "Hey, what are you doing?" and overrode their decision. Or something.

You know who's cool about copyright? Marcus 'Notch' Persson. He actually encourages Minecraft fans to make videos and stuff. More devs should be like him.

Who? Lucas talks in the chapters where you don't play as him. Zelda and Ganondorf don't have voice acting but they talk in text.

Olimar's a better example than Pit, who never had dialog until Smash Bros. Olimar spoke, he just lacked a voice till 3. Lucario have never spoken in a non Mystery Dungeon/Poke Park Wii game(that it to say, games that focused on human characters, otherwise you could say all Pokemon could "talk")

Anyway, I need to go fight Chamelarm before I go to bed, didn't know he had the paint power too.

The globs he spits out.

It changes his color, too, though it doesn't hurt him much and has no other effect. You can paint him all sorts of colors, though.

Couldn't Lucario communicate telepathically in the movie?

[up]Yes, I believe that's where they even got the idea from for him speaking in Brawl.

Same with Mewtwo's voice acting in Melee. Some of the Movie and Anime elements were thrown into the Pokemon. I don't think that's applied for any other series, though.(which is why I don't expect DK to talk, even if he could in the Cartoon)

Pokemon speaking telepathically isn't such a stretch.

In Red and Blue, that ghost does and it's just a dead Marowak.

...anyone who plays any main Pokemon game should be required to know that. [lol]

Yeah, but Lucario and Mewtwo ever done so in any game? They have in the Movies/Anime, of course.

I'd be neat if we somehow got dialogue, that the Pokemon got some kind of subtitle so we could understand them to. It could read like <Words> or [Words].

[up] That's another excellent choice. [tup]

[up][up] His attack on the Giant R.O.B. in the SSE is pretty similar to his one in the Anime.

Granted, the bad guy was the one to cause the explosion and all Falcon did was accelerate it and prevent him from escaping, but, umm...

I reject this reality and substitute my own:

Captain Falcon's punch created the giant explosion that killed him and Black Shadow yet somehow left everyone else alive.

Falcon Punch would on its own be pretty Final Smash-worthy.

But it's good it came earlier—it wouldn't be as memetic as it is now. [lol]

I also hope The Meaning of Truth gets added as a song in 4. I don't care if it's anime only. It's too awesome to not have!
