A place where you can connect with other trainers?
I was going to put together something like this but I have not thought up a good domain name for it. It would basically be a site for meeting other trainers, sharing friend codes and scheduling tournaments.

No, not quite. I'm talking about a completely new idea here. Imagine if Second Life, Facebook and Pokemon all had a baby together in some three-way alien mating ritual.
Honor my request. Let's have a real debate, not a shit-slinging contest.
Funny how you ask for a debate... Isn't that what we're having here already, in a much more precise and tracked environment than the telephone where specific assertions can be refuted directly?
I seem to notice that both Scott and I have made numerous points that go unrefuted. As such, I see no reason for further debate, as those assertions still stand.
Don't accuse us of "not knowing what we're talking about." Refute our points. Our knowledge will be evident, one way or the other, in short order that way.
I will, only if you acknowledge that an uninformed individual is qualified to make assertions that require refuting.
If you do so, you invite me to thoroughly criticize any DS game, board game, or anime with which you are intimately familiar, and I myself have 10 minutes or less experience with. Furthermore, I would not be unreasonable to make such assertions and demand that you refute them to satisfy my unfounded opinion.
This would enable me to not only make blanket statements about how poor a game I think (insert name of DS, Wii, or other console game I don't play) is, and, rather than being able to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about (which is true), you would be required to refute my statements, or else I would be considered correct.
For example, I could thus dismiss Phoenix Wright, a game I have played for approximately 10 minutes, with a series of claims based on criteria of my own selection. Instead of telling me I am clearly uninformed, you would be required to refute my claims; else, Phoenix Wright is, indeed, a terrible game (should that be my point).
If you agree to this, then I will build my case. I am confident I can thoroughly and decisively refute all of your claims, to the point where only unreasonable people would still agree with them.
That's because we were originally debating the death of PC Gaming. My original post doesn't mention WoW, but it came up, as it so often does. I admit it's a sore spot for me. I just wonder why it's a sore spot for people who don't play it.
Look forward to the real debate on WoW, coming soon to a forum near you.

Go nuts. Make all the claims you want. I'll refute or concede as warranted.
I think the difference is that you're calling for a debate yet not actually debating.

Yes, I would. I would also argue that, from several vantages, Phoenix Wright is indeed a terrible game. The puzzles are simple, movement is tedious, plot is linear, and replay-value is practically zero. Phoenix Wright shines despite these problems due its short gameplay, its minimal investment requirement, and, most importantly, its zany humour.
If that last part isn't your bag, then Phoenix Wright is indeed a terrible game, as the underlying game mechanics are pretty poor.
So go nuts and attack whatever games or anime you like. Unlike some people here, I don't freak out if someone else has a low opinion of something I value. ^_~
