I'm taking a Fiction Writing class this semester--we all write stories, distribute them, and then workshop them each in class. Today we went over my latest story, and when we were done talking about it, everyone handed back their copies with comments written in the margins. As I was going over these, I noticed that one classmate came up with a name for the canon ship in this story and confessed to fangirling a little. This is the greatest compliment my writing has ever been given like I am o
-Dialga ("Vahi") -Garchomp ("Chomper", "Takea") -Giratina ("Vezon") -Zekrom -Kyurem (White) Dragon. The type everyone wants to use and no one wants to fight. Well less so now that we have Fairy type. I definitely like having a Dragon on my team, but since you usually need to go out of your way to acquire one (or they don't show up until late in the game when you already have a team together), most of the Dragons I've used are mascots, who have had spots reserved for them. The only real exc
-Lucario ("Aki", "Akamai") -Bronzong ("Bronz") -Dialga ("Vahi") -Empoleon ("Kowalski") -Genesect -Bisharp ("Muramasa") -Aegislash ("Ultima") I've had mixed experience with Steel. Sometimes, despite its many resistances, one of my Steel Pokemon just won't have a talent for lasting very long in battle. But other times they're just plain awesome. I like Steel as a type overall, and I definitely hope to use more of it--especially now that it has a type advantage over Fairy to add to its usefuln
-Scrafty -Spiritomb -Umbreon ("Umbra") -Bisharp ("Muramasa") -Greninja ("Gali") -Yveltal I actually rather like the Dark type. It frustrates me that it's still the only type that doesn't have a Gym. (They must have noticed this by now, especially when they were arranging the World Championship in Black 2/White 2, so I have to believe that this is on purpose.) Most of these Pokemon were really great (with exception(s)), and Scrafty in particular was a big surprise--I never would have caught on
-Ampharos ("Reeper", no nickname) -Raichu ("Pika", "Minnie") -Luxray ("Shin") -Zekrom Hm, not a whole lot of diversity amongst my Electric types, huh? Yes, I trained some Pikachu. You're darn right I evolved them! It's a fun type to have, although sometimes it can be difficult keeping them alive in battle. If I had to pick a favorite...well, I might actually go with Luxray. My Platinum Luxray is really, really awesome. I'm sure I'll train more Electric types in the future, but I'm not re
-Primeape ("Mayumi") -Poliwrath ("Paul") -Lucario ("Aki," "Akamai") -Infernape ("Sarutobi") -Heracross -Gallade ("Lancelot") -Scrafty -Keldeo -Emboar ("Recoome") -Blaziken (Mega) Shoot, I never realized I trained so many Fighting types! I never really gave much thought to the type as a whole, one way or the other, but I guess a lot of the Pokemon designs really catch my eye or something. Looking back, most of these Pokemon were very dependable. There were some exceptions, yes, but overall I
Kal and I were walking around when this spaceship pulled up, and then Sub Slizer poked his head out. "Get in losers we're gonna throw some disks." So we went with him. Because who doesn't want to throw disks with a Slizer?
-Gigalith (2, neither have nicknames) -Aurorus ("Celsius") I never realized how few Rock types I've trained. I suppose they do have a lot of weaknesses, don't they? Hm. Well anyway, Gigalith is one of the few Generation V Pokemon that I liked right away, and it became my absolute favorite Pokemon for a time. Of course, now that I have an ice dino that can use a Hyper Beam that causes super effective damage to Dragons, Gigalith has some stiff competition. So I can't decide. I'd definitely
-Venusaur ("Saur", "Triffid" (Mega)) -Nidoking ("Arthur") I'll be frank: I don't like Poison. I'm perfectly fine with it having two Gyms and no legendaries, and I never had any real reason to put it on my team. Of course, now that it has a type advantage over Fairy, it's infinitely more useful, so maybe I'll get more use out of it in the future. All that being said, the Pokemon listed above were all absolutely phenomenal parts of my team. My LeafGreen Venusaur was able to defeat my rival's
-Typhlosion ("Blaze," "Blaze Jr.") -Ho-Oh ("Rudy") -Infernape ("Sarutobi") -Charizard -Magmortar -Victini -Chandelure ("Lumiere") -Emboar ("Recoome") -Blaziken (Mega) I like Fire. Who doesn't like Fire? Most of my teams tend to have Fire Pokemon on them, because there's nothing quite like incinerating your opponent's Pokemon to smoldering ash. Although, I think I've already used most of the Fire Pokemon I've actually wanted to train. Might be difficult to fill the spot in the future...well
-Sandslash ("Slasher") -Donphan ("Phanphare") -Torterra ("Sprout") -Garchomp ("Chomper", "Takea") -Nidoking ("Arthur") -Golurk ("Ralph") I think Ground is a smart type to have on your team, what with it being the only weakness of pure Electric Pokemon. Not only that, it has a lot of other useful advantages, and a lot of Ground Pokemon are just plain cool. How cool, you ask? The Nidoking and Golurk listed above were given the task of taking down Dragon Pokemon (Avalanche and Ice Punch, respe
-Butterfree ("Cat") -Heracross -Genesect As you may be able to guess, I'm not a huge fan of the Bug type either. Might have something to do with my phobias. Also, there aren't a whole lot of Bug Pokemon I find really interesting, and I've never thought of it as being a particularly powerful type. I trained Butterfree because I felt like I should, but it didn't do me a whole lot of good. Heracross and Genesect, though, were just fantastic, and it's impossible to choose which one I love more
-Bronzong ("Bronz") -Gallade ("Lancelot") -Victini -Mewtwo -Reuniclus ("Cell") Psychic is an interesting case. I've always thought the type and a lot of the Pokemon were pretty cool, but they don't seem to find their way onto my team with any great frequency. I thought maybe this was because they were rare, but turns out Psychic is actually a very common type, so...I don't know. Of the Psychic types I have trained, though, they've all been absolutely wonderful (though it should be noted tha
-Venusaur ("Saur", "Triffid" (Mega)) -Torterra ("Sprout") -Meganium ("Megaman") -Serperior (no name, "Randall") Huh, I guess the only Grass types I've ever used have been starters...I never noticed. I like Grass types, but they have a lot of weaknesses, and their advantages can be covered by other things, so maybe that's why I don't train them as often. That being said, possessing a Serperior in Black 2/White 2 makes Humilau City Gym a complete joke. Definitely too tough to pick a favorite
Well, let's see... -Pidgeot ("Tori") -Butterfree ("Cat") -Gyarados ("Berserker" (shiny)) -Ho-Oh ("Rudy") -Charizard -Yveltal Flying isn't high on my "must have in team list," since their main use in my opinion is learning Fly, and that send you right to a Pokemon Center where you can put them back in the box anyway. In most cases, a Flying type will only make it onto my team if they have another type that I'm looking for, or if they're a mascot or just a Pokemon I feel like giving a try. I
Well, this is a short entry. -Pidgeot ("Tori") Yep, that's it. I can't say I'm a fan of Normal type, since Normal Pokémon don't really strike me as interesting that often. There are some that I like the design of, but not enough to include them on my team--I'd prefer that slot be used by a Pokémon that can get STAB on a move that will actually cause super-effective damage. I'd guess there's probably not a high chance of me using Normal types frequently on future teams either. Anywho, ne
With Squishy doing favorite Pokémon of each type, I kind of wanted to do the same thing. But it very quickly became extremely difficult for me to pick favorites, and because I avoid decision-making, I decided to just list all the Pokémon of each type I've actually used in my games. Going from most common to least common (thanks to Bulbapedia), so the first one is Water. -Lapras ("Lap") -Poliwrath ("Paul") -Gyarados ("Berserker" (shiny)) -Floatzel ("Zel", "Zelda") -Samurott ("Zenkai", "Masamu
Aw, there goes the records of my awesome Pokemans... Well, here's what they look like now. All Level 80. Gali the Greninja Triffid the Venusaur Blaziken Yveltal Celsius the Aurorus Ultima the Aegislash Friend Code is 3394 - 3629 - 6029. Don't know what my Friend Safari looks like, though.
Since the time travel mechanics introduced in KH3D are too timey-wimey to understand, it has been decided that Xehanort will just use a Kanohi Mohtrek to gather the XIII Darknesses in one place. What this means for further inclusion of Bionicle has yet to be addressed.
(Chronicle of Heresy has been officially cancelled. This collection will be left for organizational purposes, but it will not be expanded or followed up on.) I've been doing more brainstorming about Chronicle of Heresy. Spoiler alert: Ahkmou and the other Great Disk Matoran are going to become Shadow Toa. Ahkmou got a starring role in the short story that this story will be continuing off of, and I did write a Vhisola story a while back, but I got to thinking. Really, none of these characters
In a shocking twist, Darkness Number VII was revealed to be Hououin Kyouma, main character of the popular visual novel/anime Steins;Gate. Kyouma makes many cryptic remarks, claiming events are "the choice of Kingdom Hearts." He will form a hostile rivalry with Kairi, mainly due to his insistence on calling her "Kylie." This strange man was sought out by Xehanort for his ability to retain memories from other timelines, allowing him to violate the laws of time travel and change the past. Whene
Obligatory comment about officially being here nine years: woohoo Moving on. On Monday my next semester of classes starts, and it looks like I may have a bit more work this time around considering my science fiction class has asked me to buy nine different novels. In addition, I’ve got a part-time job now, so that’ll also take up some of my time. I’m not complaining, just saying I’ll have less free time over the next few months. Even less once I get my hands on Pokémon Y heheheh… This
I decided to watch Madoka this week. I'm still in pain. But Pokemon news helps me forget the pain! Game Freak is holding a Pokemon Game Show over in Japan right now, featuring a demo of X and Y focusing on Mega Evolutions! Apparently you activate it using a special button on the move screen, and you can use a move the same turn that you activate it. The demo lets you use Mega Mewtwo. Impatience rising. In addition, it confirms that you now run by default, and holding the B button slows y
It’s insomnia-fueled idea sharing time again! Due to some anime I've seen, I want to do a story with personifications of stuff, and right now I’m thinking I may try with the islands in Bionicle. Tentatively thinking title could be “Geonicle” (Geographical Chronicle)…anyway, it’d be about a bunch of Toa-like beings named after the various islands, with traits and abilities tied to that island. Interaction will hopefully imitate canon events. Also thinking each one can summon a “Geo Blade,” w
