Gah! I havevn't blogged in days! Sorry, this is a quick one - I've been working on a skit at our workplace for Halloween. We're throwing a flash mob and I'm one of the leads who is going to dance from beginning to end - 11 minutes worth of dancing! And.. Assassin's Creed has taken up my life...

I, personally, cannot WAIT for this! I went back to watch The First Avenger and The Avengers all over again for the last couple of days.. and it kinda disappointed me that the focus (I felt) was on Iron Man as lead. That's just personal opinion though. The Winter Soldier trailer was all sorts...

I forced the choice on myself.. and bought a 2DS :)

Sadly, my Fennekin took a backseat once the star of the show came long.. *Long Live Charmander* I got him to be a Delphox at least, that should count for something right? And I still stuck it out with a Fire-Type.. just a more nostalgic Fire-Type.

To piggyback off of Hiroshi and as mentioned above, without the ability to "increase" a monster's "potential" - the only way to get better base stats is to find a monster in the wild with better base stats or breed to possibly pass down the base stats from the parent monsters to the egg. Or...

Ah, my lack of knowledge from the recent games strikes again. Thank you for the clarification! :D

ANOTHER Blog Post from Dlanijer? No Way! EV Training: So, I've begun to EV Train some Pokemon just for 'practice' when I have my awesome IV, well built VGC team ready! I just wanted to share some thoughts: 0. Set an EV Goal from the very beginning, so you don't mess it up later. Then use a...

I'm not sure if this was discussed before or not. Do item removing/barring abilities (i.e. pickpocket) affect the mega evolution? So regardless if it has or hasn't already mega evolved, since a Pokemon doesn't hold the item anymore.. it reverts back to it's original form? Hidden Ability...

So Thursday night was filled with Country Line Dancing, Friday night was taking the wifey country line dancing (this is somewhat rare in San Diego :P), and then a weekend without OT work? TIME TO FINISH UP THE MAIN GAME! Song of the day (Explicit Lyrics): Main Update: I'm trying to decide if I...

The thread was locked because it really wasn't much of a discussion.. but: I FINALLY CAUGHT A MALE LITLEO. Damn 50%.. So, finally onto the fifth gym. I'm getting to the Elite 4 at a Snail's Pace.. And I still have to do it all again in X! AND now that information is starting to pour into the...

^^This. I even went into my Pokedex and.. hit the female roar button over and over again! LOL excuse my age, but I think that was the thing to do back in elementary school. My friends (& a lack of internet access) would tell me it made catching them easier!

My (fairly lofty goal) is to actually catch all the Kalos Region monsters.. all of them contained in REGULAR balls and/or Premier balls. Oh, but I've been VERY tempted to use those Ultra Balls and Great Balls and what not that I find.. very, very tempted.

And don't you worry: you are NOT alone in this. As Hikari was saying, I've also had my fair share of this.. as a matter of fact this EXACT same problem. I asked my girlfriend to pick a monster for me to use to change it up. She picked Litleo because it turns into a lion. But I showed her the...

Eevee is catchable in the main game too :D I caught 8 so I was ready for all the evolutions. If anyone needs a Ghost Friend.. :D Would be interesting to know how it works though.. Are the three monsters randomized every time you use that friend? Or is it always set to three specific monsters...

I lurk.. a lot. Mostly because if I don't have anything to really say or contribute to the conversation yet I'll keep my trap closed until it comes time to let loose some dictation or novels. I really just like reading and gaining more knowledge from other people and their respective...
