Crazy as I may be, I'm back at going for 200 in the Battle Arcade. This time on HeartGold with the team that got to 175 on Platinum. It's been smooth sailing thus far, which feels familiar yet scary in a way. Had a surprising challenge with Dahlia at 49 (let's just say Togekiss got about seven crits and some change), but managed to pull off a 1-3 comeback there with Salamence. Cruising along toward 70, I come upon game 5, #68. The board flickers Aerodactyl, Tyranitar, and Medicham. Nothing too threatening...

Ten Things I Think I Think

1. I think black and white will give us some better-than-ever skins for PC. We've been dying for dark skins, and that opportunity is here this generation.
2. I think I'll post my RMT soon, for all the victims to finally figure out cutekou's specifics. The problem is, I'm too lazy to write descriptions, the team is a bit behind the current metagame (maybe?), and D_A is also lazy.
3. I think 4/6^th of my B&W team has already been decided.

I'm diving into murky waters here, but ah heck.

Based on the pains of the fourth generation, the (majority thought) "worst" generation, people jump the gun to say that Black and White is going to be horrific and terrible. I don't think that's the right kind of thinking we need with these.

Yes, I didn't like fourth gen either, and it was very disappointing, but I won't let its performance or reactions affect my thinking for the fifth generation. I feel like...

The introduction of the silhouettes has me pumped. The one with the swirly tail is probably grass, the fire-type is the skinny one, and the water-type is the ... blubber-y one? haha, idk.

I find these announcements and their reactions amazing. The thoughts of a pokémon fan is simply intriguing (and hilarious) to me. Kyogre forbid we don't get the world with our cake.

For me, I've completely lost all hatred towards the companies involved in the creations of new generations...

I've battled Kanto gym leaders an innumerable amount of times in my life time. Sabrina is no exception. After purging Lt. Surge with an army of under-leveled water-types, I thought it'd be cool to try and conquer the rest of the Gym Leaders with some enjoyable strategies or pokemon. I plan on taking Sabrina next, so I made some... interesting restrictions.

• no pokemon over level 20, nothin' bred
  • ie. no
