Generic News and Thoughts That I Think You Should Read Even Though You're Supposed to be Working or Something

Longest title in the history of mankind. Score!

Aaaaand moving right along.

So I'm still trying to get used to the new Blogger interface... I tried to hang on to the old one as long as I could, but I guess this isn't as bad as I thought. Just... I dunno, different. But not like completely alien. It sorta has this Google Docs-ish feel to it, and I happen to use that thing a lot. But anyway, if this thing looks like freakishly formatted, that would be why.

And I'm gonna keep jumping from topic to topic because I can get away with it. I asked my friend the other day if she thinks I have ADD, and she says, "Without a doubt yes."

Next topic of discussion: Music! Yeah, so hopefully you've listened to "Call You Out" and liked it. If you did, I have good news for you! "New Horizons" (the entire album) is going to be realeased on Tuesday, October 30! EXCITED!!
And also, Thousand Foot Krutch finally released their remixes for "Light Up The Sky" and "Let The Sparks Fly"! You can download them here. And while I'm talking about TFK, I would so kill for a wristband that says "Be The Change". Note to self: write TFK an email.

Yes, I've been having an obsession with wristbands lately. I had an OCD moment the other day when I went to my friends' School of Rock show and bought a wristband there. And then I realized I could put wristbands on both of my hands. *slow, sarcastic clapping*.

So yes, there is more still! Click the jump to read it!
You know how tempting it is.
Just click it.

Console to Closet

Okay, so I just thought about posting this now, but a few weeks ago there was an article on Zelda Universe about this website called Console to Closet. What it is is a website with outfits that someone has designed based off of various video games. For example, there's one for everyone's favorite antagonistic AI, GLaDOS, Assassin's Creed, the magical Princess Zelda, and even Amaterasu from the game Okami. So if this kind of thing interests you, it's really a great website to check out. There are so, so, so many different designs to look at, I can bet ten dollars there's something you'll like! So you can either click that link above, which will take you to the homepage, or you can go to the archive and see the entire list of outfits on the site! Have fun!

Double Post

Okay, yeah, I posted, what like three hours ago? No matter. I just thought of something I was meaning to put on my blog at some point in time (and I totally forgot until now), but if you have some free time at some point (as little as five minutes is okay), you should check out some more links. They go to two of my friend's deviantArt pages (art website, in case you didn't know). And since they're both really freaking great artists you should look at them. So do it. DO IT NOW!
SoxPaws - Awesome Sonic the Hedgehog art and some really great manga/anime in there too. (by the way, all the pics she does of Silver are cute! *fangirl scream* No really, I had them on my iPod wallpaper for like five months. They're that amazing.)
cavemankong - Honestly, he has everything and a pegasus up here. Some Kingdom Hearts stuff, Halo, Assassin's Creed, etc. (And that Zelda one is cool. So do yourself a favor and look at it!)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go hide in a closet for the rest of the day...

Magic Trick

For my next trick, I will make a scavenger hunt, Pokemon, Legos, Skillet, and Zelda all fit in the same post.


Well, my party was a blast! We had a scavenger hunt, and My team didn't win, but it was fun anyway. Click here to see pics from that. We had to take pics of the team doing certain things, like standing next to a McDonalds Drive-Thru menu. It was an interesting experience, and no one got arrested. So thats good...sorta...

On Bulbapedia, someone (Danielle Detering) made an article about how Pokemon and math go together. Read it here.

I've been drawing with chalk lately, and I drew Link, a Shellder, and a Mareep. You can see them if you click "More Nonsense"

Well, that's about it. Maybe I'll post more tomorrow...maybe...

Pokemon Video Game Tournament

Oh my goodness this would be so much fun to do!!! haha it's a video game tournament for pokemon black and white and it's FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! The only problems are a) things get busy here in the summer and b) the closest one to me is in NEW JERSEY!! Meh, oh well. Excuse my randomeness, I'm just really excited and I think this would be a fun thing to do this summer. Oh yeah, here's another problem: my Pokemans stink. Oh well. It could be interesting...

This is Nonsense

Well, we're all moved in. thats good.

It has been a bit busy around here for obvious reasons, so its been a while since I posted.

For no reason whatsoever, I was looking at the trivia section of Bulbapedia's page on the first episode in the Pokemon: Best Wishes TV series. Whoever wrote it brought up a good point: "According to the narration at the beginning of the episode, Ash is still ten years old (despite the fact the anime has been airing for over thirteen years at this point)."
See, I'm not the only idiot out there who thinks about this stuff

Another thing was that Pikachu had "electrical issues" again (last time was when going from Kanto to Hoenn). However, I beleive it's just jet lag. What do you think?

General News&Nonsense

Well, first of all the Pokemon Global Link is scheduled to open this Wedensday (a.k.a. April 13).

In other non-Pokemon related news:

Today is my friend Libby's Birthday! Happy Birthday!!!
It's about 80 degrees at my house today, and it is HOT!

Now for the nonsense...
Today, a few of my friends and I were talking about nintendo and the new Zelda game that should be released any minute now. Then, we talked about what would happen if Nintendo went banckrupt or shut down or something like that. It's doubtful in my opinion, but it could happen. Anyway, we were wondering that if it did happen, what would happen to Zelda. Tyler (who deserves to be punched) said that they should sell the series to like Sony or something so that they could make it for Ps3. I immeadiatly said the opposite, and said I would no longer play Zelda if it went on the Ps3. They Tyler and Xeon went into this whole talk about Microsoft would get mario and Sony would get Zelda and Pokemon. Where does that leave me? And by the way, you both deserve to be punched because you made me feel horrible afterward.

P.S. Tyler's a noob.

You're a fake! FAKE!



The easiest way to tell the difference is by looking
at the back. The first thing you may notice is that the
fake card is a signifigantly lighter blue than the read card.
The other not-so-noticeable difference is the lack of
detail on the fake card.




FAKE! ITS FAKE!

 So the other day My friend pointed out that one of my Pokemon cards was fake. He was kinda right.

As it turned out, three of my cards were fake (two of my brothers' were). Thanks Ryan.

Anyway, to confirm that they were fake, I looked here:

The Greatest Pokemon Battle Ever!

This is a Pokemon Battle I had with my younger brother yesterday. It is his Level 96 Zangoose against my Level 19 Starly. Guess who wins.

This battle uses the F.E.A.R technique, which can be found here.

Pokemon The Movie 2000: The Power of One

(if you like Pokemon, watch it NOW)

Well, I watched it (really long title, not typing it again)  recently and it was FUNNY. anyway you should watch it because of its funawseomness and listen to the ocarina song.

I also watched Pokemon Heroes: Latios and Latias as well as Pokemon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unknown (yet another long title). It was an all-night Pokeman Movie Marathon! (say that three times fast)

P.S. If Pokemon 2000 isn't funny to you, go see a doctor, IMMEDIATELY

Pokemon TCG Online

Well, the other day The Pokemon Company (TCP)  opened the beta for their online trading card game. It's very fun, just a little laggy. For the beta, you can participate in battles against CPU's, but I beleive in the full game, you can battle another person live. Also, the deck builder isn't open for the beta. Other that that its very interesting. 

P.S. If you're going to use a laptop to play, I recommend keeping it plugged in, because my battery drained pretty fast as I was playing. 

Good News and Somewhat Bad News

Somewhat Bad news
If you bought Pokemon Black/White and were just as excited as I was for it, you'll know about the Pokemon Global Link and the fact that it was supposed to be opened on March 30th. However, due to the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami in Japan (You did know that Pokemon was based in Japan, right?) the opening of the GL was delayed until who-knows-when.


Good News
Speaking of the earthquake, one GameInformer editor (Meagan Marie) had a red Nintendo DS, which was signed by Shigeru Miyamoto (if you don't know who this is, you don't deserve to play games[no offense]), Koji Kondo (does the musical stuff), Charles Martinet (voice actor for Mario since 1995), Eiji Aonuma (Zelda guy), and Martin Leung (a guy who plays video game music on a piano). Anyway, Meagan sold the DS on eBay for $4,050 and donated all the money to the Red Cross to help in Japan. Seriously, if I had that kind of money, I would've bought it. I mean, hardcore gaming device+signatures from famous people+donation= pure awesomeness!


PopCap (the best PC gaming company EVER) also raised $200,000 for Japan by lowering the prices of all (or most) their iOS and Android games (iOS meaning iPhones, etc) and donating all money to the Red Cross. Way to go PopCap!


So more good news than bad news, which I suppose is also good news.

My thoughts exactly

Pokemon Black & White vs. My Wish List

Basicly, this guy wanted five things from Pokemon Black & White:
1. Different Story
2. "Gang" Battles (i.e. 6-on-6)
3. Evolutions for older Pokemons
4. More GTS stuff
5. Trading between generation IV (Diamond, Pearl, etc.) and V (Black & White)

Well, you got some of it. Black & White have 3-on-3 battles, but somebody wrote in a reveiw (GI, I can't remember who it was though) they aren't a big part of the story. I still haven't had one in the actual game, just rotation battles and a triple battle with my friend. Different story:hmm, well I'm told that there are a few plot twists, but other that that, the story follows the same blueprint that, in TPCi's eyes, never gets old. There are a few slight variations, the evil team is trying to free all pokemon from the "cruel" trainers who "enslave" them, which is entirly ironic and dumb, because if you're trying to free pokemon, why don't you start with your own? Anywho, I have a few ideas because me being weird, still hasn't finished the game (!) AFTER THREE WEEKS (!!). Well, (SPOILER ALERT?) The legend of Unova whatchamacallit is that origionally there was a single Pokeman (name unknown) and two twin brothers who were BFF's. Then one day, the two brothers disagreed on something probably very stupid, as that is what most siblings do, and the pokemon slit into Rishiram and Zekrom, both siding with a different brother. Now back to present day the mysterious N (king of team plasma) has ressurected and successfully captured zekrom and challenges you to ressurect and catch rishiram (other way around in pokemon white) and challenge him.  What I think N is trying to do is have both reishiram and zekrom in the same place at once so they can morph back into that ultimate pokemon. Just my idea though. (spoiler alert? End). 

The one single general problem was that the game doesn't have a "come play with me" feel. For example, Pokemon SoulSilver was an okay game but it made me want to play it. Kinda like when you say someone has charisma. Pokemon black had no charisma. Maybe it was just me, but I wanted to play Chibi-Robo more than Pokemon. Its other problem was that it felt...disconnected from the other pokemon games. There are no pokemon from older generations until you finish the game and on top of that, Unova whatchamacallit is described as far away from the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Also, the routes start over from 1 again. I don't know about you, but it bothers me. 

Sorry Again!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY ment to post some pictures of Pokemon Black and sadly, my computer is being dumb (again!) and I can't  post any 'til I get an iPod cord which will be who-knows-when.

Oops

Hello readers! I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately things have been pretty boring/busy on my end, so I'm sorry. Anyway, heres some somewhat exciting newa for you:

Tomorrow Pokemon Black&White come out! I'm sooooo excited! My buddies and I are gonna be playing them ALLLLLLL week (note: Xeon, you had better get the map). I'll write more about that in a few days, if not tomorrow. Oh yes, my neighbor got banned from Call of Duty: Black Ops because he hacked to get something like 15 presteige. Whatever that means. His friend got his whole PS3 acount banned for hacking. He's kind of a jerk anyway, so this gives me somthing I can tease him about (he ALWAYS says "you're jealos of my jailbroken ipod, and its obnoxious).

Well, thats about it. Talk to you peoples soon!

Nerd award

In to comments on an arcticle about the new Pokemon Victini being too strong, heres what someone said.

"You know that they really don't mean unbeatable, right? It just has even stats like Celebi, Mew, Jarachi, and Manaphy, and it is hard to get. Besides that, it really isn't hard to kill, especially considering that being a Psychic/Fire type guarantees five weakness, making it easier to kill. So in a way, it isn't that cheap, as Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus can be considered far more unbeatable." -Robert Rimini


Congrats, you have just earned the "Nerdier about Thechumbles about Pokemon" award.

Plants vs. Pokemon

Okay, well I finally finished Plants vs. Zombies the other day. Here is the song that is played during the credits.

Oh yes, and in other Pokemon-related news, someone got the idea that they should make an online trading card game. Yep, it's a pretty origional idea thet nobody had before, especially the person who made the gameboy color game for it. Oh yes, and GI rated Pokemon Black & White a 8.75.

Camp Again!

Hi everyone! I'm going away to CC again for the weekend, so I won't be posting until Sunday. Talk to you then!
Oh yeah, but until then, heres a few things you should look at. If you want to, I mean.

 The AWESOME userbar my friend Libby made for me! If you want to use it in a forum sig or whatnot the code it in the caption.
And one other thing: What Wii Want from Pokemon
If you look in the image for Pokemon MMO, you'll see the fake chat thingy in the corner

Oh snap! I haven't posted in 5 days!

Okay, so today I looked at my blog and realized that I haven't posted in 5 days (!). So here's some general nonsense for you until I find some real news (which is never really news, just more nonsense, but with a point to it). Enjoy,

Well for all you who own Pokemon Pearl/Diamond/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver, There's like a gazillion free pokemon events coming up, so if you're like me and own three games, and receive:
-Shiny Suicune @ GameStop (1/31 through 2/6)
-Ash's Pikachu @ Toys R Us (1/30 through 2/14)
-Victini* via Wi-Fi Connection (3/4 through 4/22)
*unconfirmed
ALSO- Pokemon Black&White Tour. Click here for details.

Well.....other than Pokemon stuff...
-Some Canadian guy says his video game reflexes saved his life
-Cryptids Island on Poptropica is open....I finished it without a walkthrough (!)

That's really it... Not much has happened lately. I'm feeling kinda sick (sore throat, headaches, and all that lovely stuff). Oh, and we built a snowfort thingy. Pics soon to come. Maybe.

Kirby's Epic Yarn Rating

For Christmas my brother and I got Kirby's Epic Yarn. So like I did with Pokemon SoulSilver, I'm giving it a rating. Here goes nothing...

On the good side...

Graphics were amazing. Think LittleBigPlanet on the Wii.

Levels were VERY creative.

An example of a pad

Creating a pad using items you find in levels= awesome

Instead of dieing, you lose beads (the game's currency) when you run into enemies. This makes the game easy, even for me (!)

Many AMAZING power-ups

The tank power-up

On the bad side...

too short. My brother finished it in about 4 days.

a little too easy. Nintendo used too much of a good thing.

SCORE: 4.5/5
