Another Pokelog, Kingdom Hearts, And R2-D2


Jedi Master J.

608 views

Hey, BZPers. Today's entry is going to be another Pokelog with a bit random thoughts in the mix since I am not huge fan of making multiply entries in one day. Sorry to those people that would like it better if I kept things separate. But well, you have to deal with if you want to follow my blog as it is either the whole package or nothing. Again, sorry.

 

But anyway, I was playing Pokemon Black last Friday (Man, this entry is late. I should of had it up days ago.) for about 4 hours and 15 minutes, so I did get bit done. Well, actually the only thing that I completed in those hours was getting through Twist Mountain, so I doubt that very impressive. In my defense though, I was taking internet breaks in between stuff, so I probably could of had better playtime. Yeah, I know it is lame excuse, but it is true.

 

Alright, so I got to Icirrus City and well, I basically just took in sights when I got there. And man, I must say I really like this city's layout. But I especially like the nice looking wind mills that it got there.

 

I did notice some weird during my walk about and that it appears that gym leader is actually in their gym. Which is kind of different for this game considering almost all the Gym leaders (Excluding the first gym leaders.) came up to me and tell me that they have to run somewhere or want me to do something first before I could actually battle them.

 

*shrugs* Actually it is not that weird really. It just a bit of surprise is all since I been getting use to idea that the Gym leader come up to you as soon as you enter the area. But anyway, I did not do much outside of explode the city for a bit since I was too tired at that point to do anything else. And well, since I was tired (It was midnight at the time.), I decided to call it for night and save my game, so I could stop playing.

 

So yeah, for a four hour playthrough of Pokemon Black, I do not have much to mention here that super exciting like I caught a new Pokemon or that beat the Gym leader of the city (Which technically I guess I could of done since Ice type Pokemon are weak to Fire and Fighting type Pokemon, so my starter probably could of own the place up; sorry.).

 

If I had to say anything about this playthrough, it is that I am kind of surprise that I am nearing end of my journey already. I say this because I just notice that I only two badges away from Elite Four, so that means the plot will be wrapping up soon. And well, it kind sadden me and make me wish there was another Gym out there to do. *shrugs*

 

I guess I could always buy another copy of White version to play (I brought my sister's White version last year.) and play through that one to see how different they are. Or I could just go back to my Heartgold game and work on finishing my journey in that one. lol I probably shouldn't be getting ahead of myself since after all, I have not beaten game yet.

 

Plus, there is post-Elite Four stuff in this game, so it is not like I am going to completely done with Pokemon Black. I mean I could work on my Pokedex or making a team for online or something (Which I expect I would be owned in a lot since I never been most tactical trainer.). I don't know if I would still be writing entries for it like this though, unless people really want to see me rambling about catching Pokemon and training up a team for online play. Yeah, I don't think you guys are interest in hearing about that stuff.

 

But anyway, I think I say enough about Pokemon for this entry, so let us move on from that topic. Alright, so the next topic is about Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and well, it basically just me asking whether or not you think getting Mark of Mastery edition of game is worth it. Okay, so for those that don't know, Mark of Mastery is kind of like anniversary special box set that comes with Kingdom Hearts: 3D, which gives with the game itself, 5 "rare" AR cards, 12 art cards reflecting upon the series history, and a Kingdom Heart theme Protector Case for your 3DS.

 

I think it sounds alright for special box set thing, although it is going to cost me about fifteen more and only truly appealing things in it that I care about are the AR cards and Protector Case (I only care about the case because I hate getting finger print marks on my 3DS.). Oh, and speaking of AR cards, I am really hoping that they do not do what Kid Icarus did with it and actually sell card packs in stores since I really would like to collect the cards.

 

Moving right along, the next thing that I want to mention something funny about this picture. So you guys remember that friend of mines I say might be making the trip to BrickFair possible this year, right? Well, apparently he decide to mention to me at end of work last Friday that he notice I change my profile picture to this on a certain social networking (You know the place, I am sure.).

 

And funny thing about that is how he was struggling with trying to describe to thing that I was holding because he could not think of its name. Now in his defense, he has never seen a Star Wars film (The reasoning for that apparently religious related, so I am not going to go on in detail about it. I will say this though that I can't understand for life of me why his family is fine with James Cameron's Avatar, but they had issues with Star Wars.), so it is kind of understandable that he would not know the characters in it. However I do think even non-Star Wars fans should at least know who R2-D2 is or know what he looks like because he is one of most iconic characters from Star Wars trilogies, after all. *shrugs*

 

But yeah, I kind of got a chuckle out of that since as a Star Wars fan, I never expected anyone to ever have trouble recalling R2's name. Oh, and speaking Star Wars, am I only one that spent a good deal of this weekend watching original trilogy on Spike? Just curious is all.

 

Also speaking of that friend, there might be a stopper in our plans of going to BrickFair together since I been noticing his sister has been stealing his car a lot from him at work, so we might not be able to actually do it if such a trip is going to pose an issue with his sister need for the car. It is unfortunate, but it wasn't like I was expecting it to actually happen. That and if it did, it would be at most a day trip, so we would of probably just shown up on the public open hours on Saturday.

 

Although if by some insane amount of luck that it does actually happen, I would probably bring my 3DS with me to see if I could get some Streetpasses, while I am there. It probably won't happen, but that is worth mentioning, I guess.

 

Alright, with that say, I am going to call this entry and finally post it. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have good night. See ya, BZPers.

For only 15 extra bucks, the Mark of Mastery edition is totally worth it. AR cards, case, art cards, box; all a great deal for that extra bit of cash. I'm definitely going to get it once I save up (and actually get a 3DS...).

I have no idea what the point of AR cards are for the 3DS....

 

Since I need to buy one too before KH3D...

 

But for the case alone I say it's worth it.

@Dorek: Hm...I guess you got a point there. lol Not that I really need convincing to get it since I actually just preorder Mark of Mastery edition just a moment ago, while I was buying one of my school textbooks off Amazon.

 

@ET: Are you familiar eReader cards from back in Gameboy Advance days? Well, basically AR cards are the revival of that with a add bonuses of allowing you project a game object (Such as monster or character) in real world space viewable by the 3DS's cameras. Basically it is just gimmicky feature that some 3DS games like Kid Icarus and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance have.

 

Although with Kid Icarus, apparently the projected characters can fight one another. I don't believe it is to the scale of being active fights that you could duel with your friends though. *shrugs* I wouldn't really know since I do not have many friends with Kid Icarus, so I never try the feature.

 

Oh, and it also helps unlock trophies in the game, but I pretty sure you can still unlock those trophies in the game without the cards. It is simply take longer is all. Again, I am not really sure.

 

As for its purposes in KH 3D, I believe all it does is unlock special Dreameater partners in the game, which I believe plays no part in whether or not you will get the secret ending for the game; so you really don't have to collected them.

 

Plus, I don't think they are planning on having the same scale of cards as Kid Icarus has, so there would probably would just be like only five or six of them. *shrugs* Again, I don't really know since I am trying to avoid reading spoilers off the Wiki.

 

But anyway, like I say above, I actually just preordered it, so I agreed it is worth it.

Thanks for commenting ET and Dorek.

Haha, I have the Mark of Mastery edition sitting in my cart on Amazon so I don't ever forget about it. It's just... taunting me... (thankfully I have a birthday coming up, so hopefully my parents will go out on a limb and get me a 3DS).

 

But yeah, the AR cards are an interesting enough. I'm hoping there will be more cards like that available somehow; seems weird that they would only come in the special edition (and I think there were some as pre-order incentives too), but hey, they probably won't feature too heavily. It's just an amusing gimmick.
