Just how do I switch a character to play on the same stage? Like I want to
switch from Juno to Vela or Lupus in Goldwood?

You first have to get everyone to Mizar's Palace and get the jet pack
upgrades. Then, use whatever character you want and switch to map on the
pause menu. Then pick a planet/ship and press A.

Subject: [N64] Pokemon the movie #1
Pok=E9mon fever spread like an epidemic throughout theaters from coast to
coast as the animated film Pok=E9mon : The First
Movie dominated the weekend box office with a staggering $32.4M opening
over the Friday-to-Sunday period, according to
studio estimates. Launching on Wednesday, the Warner Bros. title made
off with a jaw-dropping $52.1M in its first five days
of release setting a new five-day opening weekend record for the month
of November. The previous benchmark was held by
Disney's A Bug's Life which grossed $45.7M over the Wednesday-to-Sunday
Thanksgiving frame a year ago. Playing in
3,043 theaters, the hit film averaged a sizzling $10,642 per venue. What
makes Pok=E9mon's enormous debut even more
impressive is the fact that it opened on a regular weekend as opposed to
the Turkey Day holiday when school children and
their parents have a long weekend off so they can trek to the local
cinema more easily.
Based on the Japanese cartoon, video game, and trading card sensation,
Pok=E9mon has taken over America as kids everywhere
have become addicted to the pop culture phenomenon. Helping fuel sales,
Warner Bros. added on the animated short Pikachu's
Vacation to each show and gave each obsessed fan a Pok=E9mon trading card
making a trip to see the movie a real value for
both parents and children. Unlike other feature films derived from
popular kids items, Pok=E9mon arrived in theaters as
interest in the franchise was still red hot and growing. The sequel,
Pok=E9mon : Revelation Lugia, was a huge box office hit in
Japan last summer and will be released domestically by Warner Bros. next
summer.

I agree Eric..if you want to see what this whole Pokemon thing is about
then STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE...IT'LL TURN U OFF. Watch the cartoon, it
represents what's so cool about Pokemon..if you don't like it after
watching a few episodes then you probably will never get into it.

It was so anticlimatic...the regular pokemon were no match for Mewtwo's
pokemon. The only one who gave Mewtwo's pokemon a run 4 it's money was
Ash's Charizard and even that lasted all of 30 secs.

That's the unfortunate attitude I am seeing in most adults. "This is a kid's

Ya can't. If you wanna play Lupus on Goldwood, you have to start the whole
level over again as Lupus. Bad idea by Rare. IMO, JFG had too many things in
common with Turok 2's structure. I was determined to completely finish the
game, but realized my time will be more fruitfully spent completing every
last bit of Donkey Kong 64.

Can't wait for Donkey Kong64 especially after Ken Lobb(i think) said it's
bigger than Zelda geometry wise. Which will probably make it larger than
JFG.
Is JFG larger than Zelda as far as virtual acreage? I love stats like
that, that's why i love games like Everquest,Zelda,JFG,etc b/c they're so
big

Great idea for a battle scene. Actually Palpatine and his minions are the
'rebellion' in the prequels but I
know what you mean :)
I think what Lucas might do is have a large scale battle with several
jedi leading the way. I found out that that is what Samurai did back in
the ancient days of Japan. They would lead a charge into battle. You'd see
a few Samurai in front of a mass of regular infantry/cavalry. Lucas might
do that in Ep2 and 3. Have several jedi lead the fight against the
rebellion.=20
A major scene that I could only dream of would be(since Lucas said
Palpatine would acquire a new sith in ep2) alternating scenes between
Anakin becoming a jedi knight and a sith going through a similar ritual.
OR alternating scenes between Anakin becoming a jedi knight and palpatine
becoming emperor. I know I've said alot but you have to read this!! :)
