My heartfelt congratulations to you! *hugs*

Hello there,

Its been awhile since I have written to my favorite mareep. How have you been getting along my friend?

My crush on Steven Stone lingered until quite recently. My admiration right now for a kindred soul who is flesh and blood is stronger. So Steven can take a rest for the time being.

He is still my favorite champion. I've really enjoyed the previous gen topics Letters to Kanto and Johto, and excited for what Hoenn will bring.

Yes, the mega evolution special does a great job of showing his power. All the while maintaining that soft-spoken, calm, polite veneer... which makes him even more charismatic and fascinating, that contrast.

What I liked about Steven isin RSE is that he I feel set a blue print for a new way that a champion could be, stepping down to earth from what we had previously seen. Blue is your rival who bullied you throughout the game. Lance is someone you respect, but is more of a lofty, distant figure. He is certainly powerful, but there's only so much that he is going to let you get to know him I think. Steven on the other hand is distant perhaps at first, but then shows you a more human side, bringing you into his house, giving you his favorite Pokemon, even not wishing to be a champion anymore in Emerald. So I think there was always something there about Steven that was subtlt different, and it fit the world of Hoenn, which is intimate, nice, low-key and neighborly, a place where both parents are actually in the home, even your rival is a friend, and you have the whacky down-to-earth Prof Birch.

That being said, they tremendously expanded on this character in ORAS, and that is my favorite game at the moment. This is a way more in-depth look at Steven, and the definitive portrait of him. I can't believe we rode a Latios together!

Yes, lets give Absol some love together. It was great seeing him in the Jirachi Wishmaker movie, that one is a favorite of mine.

I decided to do the same thing in regards tpto The Power of Us actually, and wait for DVD. I too like the option of choosing between Japanese and English. I'm an affecionado for the movies and like to watch them both ways and decide which is best. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who enjoys the movies in the original languages. Some of the dubs work too, for instance I prefer the Spell of the Unown in English because I think the voice of Entei sounds more commanding. But often I give the edge to the original. Mewtwo Strikes Back, Arceus and the Jewel of Life and Hoopa are examples of ones that bother me if they are not in Japanese.

I really enjoyed having a cultural exchange with you, and am so very interested to learn that you celebrate New Year's at the end of January. The Chinese New Year begins later too.

I have a fanfiction on the backburner about a forgotten HBO fantasy series called Carnivale. I was wondering if I could consult you sometimes about practices of the orthodox church? My favorite character on the show is a spiritual leader and immigrated from Russia. I always try to research what I am writing about :)

Happy Holidays Sheep!
