Pokemon comics

Hi all!

I'm zoning out a bit right now, because I'm reading pokemon comics. So for my post this week I'm gonna link you all up to my favourite three.

3. HATE THE FLAWS OF POKEMON GAMES?
Then you'll love pokemon: pebble version. This web comic devotes itself to pointing out every possible flaw in the pokemon games from the lack of food and houses to dragging around a bag with a bike, fishing rod and a stack of items in it with no problem. If you've ever wondered "how the hell does that make sense?" when playing pokemon, this comic has the answer (but you probably won't like it).

2. POKEMON IRL
Rare candy treatment. This comic is dedicated to answering the question "how would that work in real life?" It answers questions like:
"How does diglett use aerial ace?"
"What are the health risks of becoming a trainer?"
and the generation old question "What would kyogre be like as a roommate?"

1. THE GREATEST ACHEIVEMENT IN THE POKEMON WORLD EVER
We've been talking about doing a nuzlocke challenge for a long time, and how can you know anything about them without studying up first? A petty nuzlocke challenge is arguably the greatest nuzlocke comic ever, other than the original. The first few comics are hilarious, and after a while, you love locke's pokemon so much they don't have to be funny, you're reading to make sure you're favourite doesn't die. With a killer art style, and some awesome flash, as well as some pretty well concieved game-to-drama action, there's a reason this was voted the best comic of 2010.

Have fun procrastinating.

Ciao,
Shigure.

CONSPIRACIES!!!!

Hi all!

Yes, I'm actually posting. And technically speaking, I shouldn't be, I have an assignment due tomorrow that is not quite finished... but I am, so lets get on with it.
I've been seeing these pop up one after the other lately, so I'm going to share with you my top 5 favourite POKEMON CONSPIRACY THEORIES!!! YAYYY!!!!

  5. ROTOM'S BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN WE THINK
And there are more of them than we ever thought. It's hard to talk about this one, so I will make my point with just this

  4. GENGAR IS CLEFAIRY'S SHADOW
Yeah, it's hard to argue with this one. Gengar is a ghost type pokemon and known as the shadow pokemon. Creepy enough. But the physical resemblance between these two pokemon is amazing. The pointy ears, the weird wing-things on their back and their simplistic limbs, it's incredible. Take a look at this
Mind = blown

  3. KANGASKHAN IS CUBONE'S DEAD MOTHER
If you stop and think about it, it kinda makes sense. Cubone wears the skull of his dead mother, and Kangaskhan is born with a freaking baby. These don't make sense unless you pair the two up. If cubone eventually evolved into Kangaskhan then it's easily explained. Kangaskhan raises it's baby in it's pouch, and when it comes to die, releases the baby to be it's own pokemon, this baby is distraught to lose a mother it's been so close to, so it (somehow) takes it's skull as defence and one of it's bones as a weapon. But where's the middle ground? Right under your goddamn noses. We all know M' otherwise known as Missingno's sister. If you do the famous old man hack, you can catch it, and here's the fun part, if you level it, it evolves into OMFG KANGASKHAN! It's theorised that nintendo decided it was way too dark to put this story in a kid's game, so at the last minute they made a new evolution for cubone and made kangaskhan a standalone pokemon, putting the old pokemon in an unused slot, no. 0. Personally, I would rather hear this dark story than live with the confusion that cubone and kangaskhan brought me for eons.
Oh, by the way
...shit

  2. THERE WAS A GODDAMN GENERATION KILLING WAR
Again in the red/blue games, many players have noticed the lack of middle aged men, the player himself doesn't have a father and your rival is an orphan. when you set off for your adventures you're warned about the dangers of the world repeatedly, yet your mum says "all boys need to leave home eventually" ...alright. As you roam around all you find is old men and little kids frolicking in the monster-ridden wilderness. And here's the cherry; when you challenge Lt. Surge, he mentions how these electric pokemon "saved my life in the war." ...WHAT? WHAT WAR? So apparently there was a massive war, so massive that it killed an entire generation but a few, i.e. the players mum and that the players generation is the first to grow up in peace since the war ended. This explains a whole lot, doesn't it?

  1. YOU KILLED GARY'S RATICATE!
Okay, so in the red/blue games your rival blue/gary uses a raticate a lot and then suddenly it's gone. So what, right? It's a useless pokemon, who wouldn't box it? Here's the catch, the first time you see him without it, he's in the tower in freaking lavender town! You know, that place where people go to mourn dead pokemon? Not only that, but he comments on how "your pokemon don't look dead". To further screw with your heads, we go back in time, to the last time we saw this raticate alive. On the goddamn S.S. Anne. So, the theory goes that when you smashed Gary's annoying butt on the boat, you beat his Raticate to near death. With no pokemon centres on the boat he had to pray that he could reach land before he lost his friend, unfortunately he was unable to get there fast enough, and decided to bury and mourn his friend at lavender town, where who should he find but his friends killer?! This explains why he goes all pricky after that.

And if you're not completely screwed in the head yet, here's some not-so-light reading for you
That's all from me for now

Surprise

Hi, so it’s been a while since any of us have posted. My computer is well, dead but I’m getting a laptop in two weeks so I should be back to regular posting.  I believe I finished Black/White 3rdout of the 4 of us I’m not sure who finished first out of Shigure and AR. Also I got my AVCON ticket today J so that’s exciting.
Today I thought I would ramble a bit about various ‘wars’ going on in the virtual world or just my opinion of stuff compared to other stuff.
Ninjas v Pirates
The ninja/ pirate war has been going on since before the beginning of time. I don’t have a side because in reality I’m not a ninja or a pirate but if I could be I don’t know what one I’d be because they’re both awesome.
Mario v Sonic
Both very popular video game characters, as a kid I never had a 64 I grew up with a Sega but I prefer Mario over Sonic because Sonics’ changed the games just aren’t the same. Sonic Unleased was crap but I’ve heard good things about Sonic Colours. However, almost all Mario games I’ve played have been amazing. My favourites would have to be Mario Kart, Mario Party and Super Paper Mario.
Dragon Age v Fable
Both awesome games, but Dragon Age wins, because as awesome as Fable is Fable 2 and 3 were disappointed. Dragon Age 1 and 2 have both been amazing. For starters the story line is a lot better (I know it was made for an older audience) and the final bosses were actually challenging.  The Archedemon is a bitch to kill and I know Jack was but still you kill Lucian with one bullet and Walter was way too easy to kill. Plus the characters have a lot more detail (back story wise) I know this is probably because it was made for an older audience but hey Dragon Age wins.
Dubbed v Subbed
This all depends on what you watch the first time you see a series for example I cannot watch Pokemon, any of the Yu-Gi-Oh series or any of the Dragon Ball series in Japanese because I grew up watching them in English. Whereas Death Note and Vampire Knight I can’t watch in English because I watched them in Japanese.
So yea that’s my ramble for now, I’ll be back in two weeks unless I can get on a computer before then.
Farewell

We're not dead

Hi all!

Yes it's been 2 weeks since anyone's posted, there are a variety of reasons why so let's just not go into that.

So, I don't have much to talk about... oh wait! YES I DO

BLACK AND WHITE

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's finally here! Okay, technically I had it this time last week, but hey, details don't matter.
It's a pretty awesome addition to the pokemon RPG collection, honestly, I don't think they've ever made an original style pokemon game that was bad!

The new pokemon look good, the battle screen is definately better, with the moving camera and pokemon.
And the cutscenes -- OH MY GOD THE CUTSCENES! The graphics are amazing

There's so much to talk about that I can't think of that I'm just gonna give you this link:
http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/goodgamesp/transcripts/s3160125.htm

That link is ABC3's Good game spawn point, I think their review was pretty good and covered just about everything it should, so check it out.
That's all from me this week

Autumn :D

Good Morning all,

Today is the first day of the awesomest season of the year, because Autumn is awesome. It is not only the season we were all born it but also all the leaves go prettyful colours and when they fall off they're crunchy. Crunchy leaves are awesome.

Including today it is only 10 days away! That's so close, also I'm assuming we all going to have a little contest to see who can finsih the game first, by finish I beat defeat the Elite Four and if there is an after story finish that as well. When I got Soul Silver I beat Red in a week, I am very proud of that achievement. Shigure defeated all of the 16 gyms in 2 days and Hatori... is Hatori.

Keeping it short once again because I must be off to school soon.

Farewell

Hippos :D

17 days until awesomeness! Speaking of Pokemon, as we all know many pokemon are based of animals so I thought I'd tell you all about the fascinating creature known to us a hippopotamus or a hippo. Why? You ask. Well why not? It is always good to expand ones knowledge of what seems to be completely useless information but you never know, at some point in your life this may proof useful.

Hippos are the third largest land animal, next to the elephant and white rhino. When a hippo yawns it is not a sign of bordem or sleepiness it is a threat gesture. There razor sharp canine looking teeth are capable are biting a small boat in half. they can weigh up to 3 and a half tonnes and can live for up to 50 years. There name means 'River Horse' and they are more than capable of outrunning a person.

There you have it folks pointless facts about the hippo that may proof useful. Also Number 449 and 500 are based of hippos but thats pretty obvious.






Farewell

Ayame
