Any game site who gets their info from PGC, IGN, Cloudchaser, or Gamespot isn't a real gaming site...

...potato soup isn't that bad.

PGC gets a lot of their info from IGN. So...thats kind of an oxymoron...I guess...I dont know, I haven't done any oxymorons in a long time.

One thing is that unlike IGN, PGC cites their source. Then other sites say their source is PGC instead of using the source PGC supplied.

*Side note: This point started that little argument me and cubedojo had a while back here.

I agree about the first part. All those sites really do is copy and paste the big news from the big sites. It's hard to not do that if you run a video game site, so if I were to start a site I'd make it exclusive to one thing like FF, Shenmue, Mario, or some other franchise. That way people would actually have a reason to visit.

Good point Jin. All these wanna be IGN sites with cheap web hosting and what not might be a little more "sucessful" if they devoted soley to one game. It's gotta be somewhat good though, not like the masses of cheap *** Pokémon sites.

Oh my god.. there are thousands of ****ty Pokémonsites out there.

There are only 3 good Pokémon sites. One of which closed down and the other is dying.

GameMaster · 02-27-2002, 12:50 AM

Could you tell me them?

Pokemasters.com (better when it had forums so they could help you with your team)

Bulbagarden.com (closed)

And then there was this one college site with the science behind Pokémon. Lots of mathematical equations which really helped in creating the perfect team. I forget the url though.

There's also MewHeart.com which is good for Pokémon icons but not for actual information. Then of course there's the official japanese site: http://www.pokemon2002.jp

I visit Pokemasters

Was guessing Bulbagraden closed when I couldn't access it anymore

Wasn't aware of the college site that uses math to create the "perfect team." Sounds cool!
