VC Friday: Bubbles and Pokemans

It's a double WiiWare update for Europe and Australia this week as the fresh-faced download service once again blots out new old games. There is a pattern emerging here -- WiiWare one week, Virtual Console the next, and so forth -- but we're not yet sure if it's a deliberate trend or just a coincidence. Either way, it's pretty plain now that Virtual Console stuff is going to become less regular. Up for grabs this week:

My Pokémon Ranch -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points
Pop -- WiiWare -- 700 Wii Points

Videos after the break!

Down at the Ranch with Penny Arcade

Is gazing at your precious Pokemans in glorified Pokémon display cabinet My Pokémon Ranch just not enough for you? Do you get sick of their cloying, sweet little faces? Do you yearn to see the little so-and-sos endure the same painful, hard knock life that you had to endure? Do you wish that once -- just once -- they were exposed to a slice of cruel, heartless reality?

If so, know that Gabe of Penny Arcade fame is right with you! Hit the picture on the right for the latest strip -- it's a corker.

Would you believe Brawl contains even more Pokemans? It's true! See which of the other critters made the cut after the break.

December 10th: American Pokemans get shown

On December 10th, six days after the Japanese launch of Pokémon Snap, the American Virtual Console will feature the rail-photography game. To promote the release, the online Toonami Jetstream channel will show a week of Pokémon cartoon episodes featuring Todd, the protagonist of Snap who was hamfistedly crammed into the show to help sell cartridges.

Why should you care about a Pokémon spinoff game? We'll recap:

It's a pretty okay game
Judged against other Pokémon spinoff games, it's a freakin' masterpiece
Expanded functionality allows you to share photos with Wii Friends
(if you're me) More attention on Pokémon Snap could finally get the "photography game" genre going, or at least convince Hudson to let us download Photograph Boy.

So, in conclusion, Photograph Boy is a great game. What? Oh, right. The Pokemans thing is good too.

Wii Warm Up: Half a game

We don't think this is a controversial statement, although feel free to skewer us in the comments if it is: Pokemon Battle Revolution is not worth having if you don't own and play Pokemon on the DS. If we really wanted to arouse some vitriol, we'd say it's not worth having even then, but that would really just be flame-baiting for its own sake. We don't even actually feel that way.

What we want to know is, is it okay in your mind to have a game like this that absolutely depends on another game to be fun? It it okay for such a thing to be full price?

Obviously, if you're of the "gotta catch 'em all" persuasion who buys every Pokemon game regardless of quality, your answer is going to be a little different.

If you'd like a crash course on the 107 new Pokemon in the Diamond/Pearl generation, which includes the new DS games and Pokemon Battle Revolution, then this GamesRadar article might come in handy. It's an exhaustive Pokedex of the new creatures, and includes name, type, abilities, location, and information about evolution.

What strikes us as we look at this list is how weird the names of Pokemon have gotten. Maybe it's because we've had ten years or so to get used to the older names, but the new ones are jarringly nonsensical. See Bidoof above.

Unfortunately, Game|Life's Chris Kohler beat us to the "Let Me Show You Them" headline for his post about the article. We'll try to get the next one!
