very likely would have been my selection had he (billy lee) not been taken. I think at this point in the draft there are going to be very few consensus picks left... my selections will probably all seem to be out of left field. |

This is the part of the draft I've been waiting for
![]() I still think there's a few guys that are more consensus than others, but still.

I have to say, the quality of the "real" picks vs. the quality of the "suggested" picks has been no contest.

I don't know. I hear Ms. Pac Man has put on alot of weight from eating those pretzels and such. I can't imagine those dots are very healthy either... Never know about Larry though.

my team is just trying to avoid the Donkey Kong vs. Amazon locker-room deathmatch. I don't think either plays well with others.

OK, we're seriously slowing down so I'm making the call: as of tomorrow, we go to three hour deadlines.
We're at a point in the draft where everyone is virtually assured of getting their #1 or #2 pick in the next round, so please send a list if you're not one of those types who's around all the time. I already have pre-picks from several people. If I have a pick from someone but see that they're online, I'll wait for them to pick (so if you're worried that I won't do your choice justice, don't be).

I thought Ninja Gaiden was a great value pick... I kept waiting for him to go off the board. I figured the straight peice from Tetris was a lock to go in the 1st or 2nd round, so surprised its still on the board (don't feel bad about mentioning it since it was already brought up a couple times earlier).
There is one pretty big old-school "villian" that I'm surprised is on the board... in the same genre as Space Invaders. Last edited by Daimyo : 01-28-2004 at 04:41 PM. |

At the end, though, I bet the winner is the guy who just keeps picking the best available, even if it's someone who's been mentioned a dozen times. That Ms. Pac Man pick didn't win any accolades, but it looks pretty good now.

I think that it is tough to argue with Corbes team right about now. One legend and three very solid picks in the first four rounds.

My team has four very solid starters right now. All borderline HOF types -- Croft, Space Invader, Crash and Dirk. But I'm missing that one big superstar to get the headlines. Damn 12th pick...

I was torn on the Ninja Gaiden pick. There's another character in the same vein that I was considering.

I think King Bowser going in the 3rd round was at least a small steal.

My criteria is vague and wishy-washy. I'm not sure draft position has much to do with it -- Frogger's just one of those characters you wish you had on your team. That's what I'm trying to say, yeah. |

Despite the fact that he is widely hated by parents worldwide, thats a very good pick. Hes been in a few games, a tv show, 5 movies and is one of the 10 most widely known characters taken in this draft. That said, he really hasnt had that large of a roll in the actual pokemon games and is not widely liked by people over 13. Still, a good pick and someone I was considering for my next pick.

The game came before the anime/card game.
Qualifies just fine.

And here's the backup:
From: http://www.raichu12.com/Articles/Timeline.html 1996 February 27 - Nintendo releases Pokémon Red and Green for Game Boy. ?? - TCG Base Set released in Japan. 1997 December - Pokemon has its first major controversy: A scene in the Pokémon TV show reportedly causes seizures in several Japanese children. Japanese TV pulls the show for several months. Whether the seizures actually happened is not known. 1998 - Pokémon Comes to America ?? - Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back opens in Japan. August 27 - Pokémon debuts in the US in events held in Topeka, Kansas (renamed "Topikachu" for the event). (Check out this article about the Pokémon events in Topeka. Top quote: "If the reaction of northeast Kansas kids is any gauge, Nintendo can start counting its profits.") September 7 - Pokémon cartoon premiers on the US network The WB. September 28 - Pokémon Red and Blue released in the US.

I'm not going to say how to judge this one way or another, but as the resident Pokemon person, I feel I should throw out some stuff for whoever makes rules clarifications. The game debuted first in Japan and the cartoon soon followed but the game most definitely came first. However, in the US, the cartoon came slightly before the game (I guess the cartoon translation took less time or something). The other subtle distinction that should be made is that in the Pokemon games, there are generic Pikachus and the default name for them is "Pikachu". The one that stars in the cartoons and movies just happens to be one that Ash (the main character of the cartoon) called Pikachu instead of changing its name. It's just like having a dog and calling it "Dog". If that's going to be used to throw things out then the metroid pick is very similar and should be looked at but I think the statute of limitations is up on that one. Lastly, in Pokemon yellow (it was the "inbetween" game- came out *after* the first two companion games but before the next two), you do officially have the Pikachu that stars in the tv show/movies/etc. SI

Pikachu was going to be my next pick. I think he's an absolute steal this late in the draft.
And yes, he qualifies under the rules. It was a video game before everything else.

I am going to go off the charts here and take...
The Warrior in Gauntlet I was a huge Gauntlet fan when I was younger and this was one of the first video games I loved and it brought a multiplayer feel into the genre like I have never seen before. It was all great - until you heard - of course - "Warrior, your life force is running out!" |
