She calls me all the time telling me she bought a berry. Not once in the hundreds of calls has she told me to stay safe or that she loves me. WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE MOMMY?!?!?!

In Platinum I dragged along a piece of dead weight for nearly 40 levels, Bronzong. He is only weak to Ground or Fire depending on his ability and his defenses are good, but everything else is lacking. He doesn't have the power to kill anything himself, his HP is bad, and he is outspeeded by Kakuna.

Red defeated. That was the most difficult battle I've ever had in a pokemon game, even trumping Cynthia in Platinum. It took 5 tries, 4 Max Revives, and using 11 Rare Candies. I think he would've been much easier if I had planned out a better team: Golem, 56 Crobat, 54 Muk, 56 Machamp, 57...

I have a breeding horror story. I was trying to get a Houndour to transfer to HG from PT. I needed either mild, modest, or rash nature and Early Bird for it's ability. When I finally got the combination I was looking for I has hatched 34 eggs. I have a box and a half of nothing but Houndour, 33...

I went with Azalea. It's an out of the way little town that is wooded on all sides (and adjacent to Ilex Forest) I grew up in a small town a lot of people in the state don't even know about and really enjoying stomping around in the woods with my cousins and friends. I also value my alone...

So far (two gyms into Kanto) I thought Platinum was harder than HG. The gym leaders and elite four appeared to have a greater variety in their pokemons' movepools to toss a wrench into the obvious counters. There were very few fights that required me to use more than one or two pokemon to wipe...

Machamp looks awful, especially moving left to right. The arms are arched up and back like a bad movie monster stalking stupid teenagers. I liked the Grimer/Muk sprites because it looked like she had a goofy smile on at all times.

Try to take over the world!! And by that I mean complete my pokedex. I haven't done it in 9 or 10 years (everything sans Mew on a Blue version) Now that I look at the list I think I'll be stuck at 485/493.

Pokemon. We know it's going to sell 10 million copies. But we spent the money on a commercial anyway.

That would explain why she keeps eying Alakazam...

It'll take longer. If they absolutely can't breed he will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."

My "surprise" Pokemon coming through HG is the Machamp line. It's not that I thought that evolutionary line was weak, it was really the entire fighting type. The only fighting type I've ever used since I started playing Blue 8 years ago was Lucario in Platinum and he didn't really do anything...

If you go to Bill's house above Cerulean and show his grandpa a Lickitung or Jigglypuff he will give you an everstone.

No problem, anytime.

Just a shade under 200 hours since October of last year.
