Hmm... maybe my interpretation of me catching the shiny Raikou in the dream foretelling that the shiny beast event would be coming up in America wasn't so far off! Yesterday, it was revealed that the shiny beasts would be distributed at Gamestop in several weeks. However, unlike Japanese fans, we'll be able to potentially get all three of the beasts! Each legend will be given out for one week, and one week only:
Shiny Raikou (has the Rash nature, holds a Micle Berry, and knows Zap Cannon, Aura...

Since November 23rd, Jo and I have been looking forward to seeing Reshiram and Zekrom in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I already posted about how we wouldn't be seeing them live, but it turned out we didn't seem them at all. Well, we would've, if we had been watching the NBC broadcast, but noooooo, my aunt insisted we watch CBS.
The CBS broadcast barely even showed the parade at all; rather they switched back and forth between Carrie Underwood, some football announcer dudes, and some la...

Yesterday, my team in Black reached level 100 at long last. The first Pokemon to hit 100 was Denchura, followed by Victini, then Wargle, then Waruvial, then Jalorda, and lastly Daikenki. And what did I do to celebrate? I... er, shoved the six of them into the PC and started training a new team... heheh. The new team consists of a female Archeos, a male Monozu, a male Zebraika, a female Shandera, a female Riolu, and a male Kirikizan. I'm not sure if they'll ever get to level 100, but I'll try....

You'll never guess what we started learning about...

DNA!

._. Well, at least Jo and I are making progress. We're currently level 8. Only 17 levels left to go... *sigh*

After all that waiting and begging for my parents to get Jo Guardian Signs, after forcing Jo to play the game nonstop when she finally got it, after all the times I helped her when she was stuck... the Deoxys mission appears to be impossible.
You see, the mission, 'Deoxys and the Odd Temple' I think it's called, requires two or more players to complete, hence why I needed to wait for Jo to get the game. To perform multiplayer missions, you must travel to the past... I've never performed a mult...

If you didn't already know, today is the first anniversary of APR, or the Actual Pokemon Roleplay, originally created by Rainpool_medicine_cat. This RP is historic in that without it, none of us would've become friends. Even those of you out there who didn't join us until the PMD era-- I originally pitched the idea for a Mystery Dungeon roleplay on APR, and several of its members said that I should go with it. And then PMD branched off into TNG, BV, PCHB, etc. Those of us who were members of ...

I have never, ever trained a Pokemon to lv. 100 outside of PMD... unlike the Mystery Dungeon games, training is very time consuming, and gets dull quite easily. However, in Black, the battles seem to move faster, and are more interesting with the new Pokemon and fully animated sprites. So, I'm going to try my hardest to train my team to lv. 100. At the current moment, they're:

•ウォーグル: Level 70 ♂ Wargle, knows Shadow Claw, Brave Bird, Crush Claw, and Fly.
•Coast: Level 70 ♀ Dai...

Wow, two events in the course of two days! How sweet does it get?

As you may already know, Thursday was the first day you could download the Heatran mission in Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs. The end of this event has not yet been announced, but just in case I sped through my game and downloaded the event as quickly as possible. GS is the first Ranger game I've ever beaten, actually... and quite frankly, I didn't die once. In the original Ranger, I got stuck in some part with these dumb traps,...

With the release of Guardian Signs, I was able to obtain a Manaphy egg. As you may already know, Leafy let me borrow his Manaphy for my Pokedex, along with his Shaymin, though I never got the chance to obtain a Phione. As soon as that egg hatched, I admired my new legendary Pokemon for a few minutes, and then tossed it into the Daycare with my faithful Ditto. And soon enough, I had myself a little Phione; the 492nd Pokemon to be registered in my Pokedex.

Now there's only one* Pokemon left to c...

As we all know, Black and White came out today in Japan. We've all seen and commented on the 156 new critters, so there's not much for me to say on that note. However, there's something quite bothersome (to me, anyway) regarding two avian Pokemon: Wargle and Vuljina.
When Wargle was leaked way back when, I thought of it as an extraordinary Pokemon; come on, it's a red, white and blue eagle for Arceus's sake! It was also a dead giveaway that the Isshu region was based off of some part of Ameri...

Today I finished my National Pokedex in SoulSilver. It took a lot of time and effort to catch 'em all, but I did it. I caught, traded, bred, and migrated my way to victory-- at last! The first Pokemon registered in my dex was Totodile and the last was Blissey. I am missing Celebi and Phione, but they aren't required to complete the dex, of course. It's a shame that all you receive for accomplishing this mighty task is a pitiful certificate. Regardless, I snapped a photo of it on my DSi. I'd p...

So, last night, I was browsing through the GTS in search of a Medicham, one of the 24 Pokemon I was missing from my National Dex. I figured that I wouldn't find anything decent: most of the people on the GTS are total n00bs, asking for Lv. 100 Darkrai and Deoxys and crap. I did manage to find a nice Japanese Drapion recently-- the person wanted any Porygon2. I had some random Porygon2 from that Emerald game rotting in my PC, so I said, why not? I got the Drapion, which looked to be legit, and...

I'm mad. I'm reeeeally mad. Want to know why? Well...

In Explorers of Sky, I got through Deep Dark Crater at the expense of only one Reviver Seed (I have between five and seven of them, I really cant remember). I had high hopes, yet I doubted that I'd get very far...

You see, my strategy for the final battle is to first kill off that nasty Rhyperior with LightningRod as his ability. However, it takes up a turn to move in front of him, and it also wastes one of Storm's turns, as I have to butt h...

I've trained three of my Pokemon (Kim the Charizard, Silver the Lucario, and Jon the Aggron) to Lv. 50-- they're now all set for the Battle Frontier (which is really the only thing fun left to do in the game). Equipped with their Charti Berry, Expert Belt, and Quick Claw, respectfully, they'll be unstoppable!

So, the other day, I was reading through a topic on the Bulbagarden forums-- it was about Pokemon related 'creepypasta'. Creepypasta are short stories designed to unnerve, disturb, elicit a negative emotional response from, and scare the reader, according to said topic. Well, a number of the creepypasta stories were about the original Lavender Town theme from the Japanese Red/Green versions, and why they changed it for the English release. They were quite ridiculous-- most were about how the ...
