    Lyrics to Poke-song based on HMs/TMs

    Hi, hi! I wrote this love song about how nothing could keep me from my girl. To an outsider, this doesn't seem to be about Pokemon at all. But I know all of you will recognize the HMs/TMs from the First Gen games that I built the lyrics around. No Substitute Baby, if you’re ever...

    Cool, original Poke-themed songs; can you spot all the references?

    Hi Poke-fans: I manage a songwriting project on Tumblr, and I wrote these two Poke-themed songs. People enjoyed them in the Tumblrverse, but I really wanted to share them with true Pokemon fans, like the ones on this forum To an outside listener, there's no way to know this blues song is...

    Love and Beauty

    I'd encourage you to tell us more about this someone...if these aren't just random thoughts, but about an individual, describe that person--how they look, how they feel, etc.

    Death to All, Redemption for no one

    I'd like to see more, too! I think concretes are essential...don't only philosophize, but load it up with images/smells/physical sensations...have more images about rotting in the grave, waiting at the pearly gates, etc.

    Lana Del Rey

    She confuses me immensely. In all of her performances and music videos she looks...bored. I think it's an act--and I can say it is unique--but it isn't very engaging. The way she sings in an almost emotionless monotone is kind of distancing.

    How Do You Feel About Modern Music?

    I say "no opinion"...many people's complaints are fair, but they lack a full understanding of music history. There was plenty of "mainstream" stuff in the 50s that "cool people" then thought was crap. And they were right and a lot of it didn't stand the test of time. The same will be true of a...

    Does ANYONE besides me think that The Hunger Games are just a LITTLE bit overrated!?

    It's good that people are into dystopian fiction...but 1984 or Zamayatin's We are so much better.

    Your Music Genre

    My brain enjoys just about every genre in some way...my heart loves the blues. Old stuff, like Delta Blues. Son House, Leadbelly, etc.

    Which battles do you dread the most?

    To give a unique answer...I remember the first time I played Blue, I picked Charmander, and that made beating Brock way more challenging than if I had Bulbasaur or Squirtle...I think I remember gusting Onyx slowly to death with Pidgey.

    100 Rare Candies Vs. 100 Hours Training

    I agree with many others that it takes the fun out of the game. As a rule of thumb, I don't do any tricks like that in any game until after I've beat it. Cheating (too strong a word?) takes the excitement out of the gameplay and even the story. On a replay, though, it's fun to experiment.

    Battle Mistakes

    In general it's easy to lose track of a move's PP when grinding...and then suddenly you won't be able to use it in a crucial moment.

    2nd Gen What is your team on GSC/RBY?

    My RBY team varies a lot, but I almost always use a Snorlax. Especially if I'm battling friends. Rest is so annoying to them.

    1st Gen R/B/Y: Mewtwo and the Master Ball Rumor

    I think some people are missing the real point to hitting down/up and B when they throw a Pokeball...I don't think I ever really believed it upped my chances, but it was fun to believe it did...gaming is full of absurd, faith-based actions like that...as gamers I bet we do countless, pointless...

    1st Gen What part annoyed you the most in R/B/Y?

    Pretty much any cave with Zubats (...all caves.).
