Found it again!

I remember me and Spike talking about Etrian Odyssey earlier this year, we had played the first game and we both knew that it Etrian Odyssey IV had been announced for 3DS and so we waited.

I don't really know what happened then, the Pokémon hype began almost half a year from now for me so probably that? Something made Etrian fade from my memory anyways and so as Spike was hanging around on the internet earlier this week he said something along the lines:

"I really want to play this when it's available!"

It was already out (had been for a while actually) and so we went out an bought a copy each the same day. ^^

My biggest problem now is that in two weeks I'll be having two games that'll I have to divide my time between...

Pokémon X and Y: Tyrunt the game.

My starters from all gens (never played gen 3).

A new Pokémon game is on the way and by new I mean NEW, not a weak copy of an older game with a new story (Ehem Pokémon white/black 2) so welcome Pokémon Y and X.

Gamefreak have finally made the graphic more exciting and the battles feels more alive then it have ever been before and beside that you can now modify your character's appearance so it will feel more personal, time to make a girl and make her look "Uguu kawai!"... yea from my understanding the girls have more variation of clothings.

So with a new Pokémon there is new starters and I'm thinking about to follow my tradition and pick the new water type Pokémon Froakie, he looks kinda cute and his second evolution make him look a bit more to the cool side or like people in this generation say "SWAG", oh and by the way I looked back to my old Pokémon games and remembered that I never picked Mudkip and that is because I have never played Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire! oh my.

Things I'm looking forwards is:

Mega-evolutions: Because why not? why not take that extra step and go all super saiyan?

The new starters: They all look fine man! beside Chespins second evolution, he looks like shit :c.

Gender Roles: So there is this Pokémon called Meowstic that have different roles depending on the gender, is that not pretty freak sweet? Hope there are more Pokemons like that in this game beside him/her.

One sexy beast <3.

Tyrunt: The new fossil Pokemons in this game is Tyrunt and Amaura, Amaura looks all cute and shit but then there is other dude Tyrunt... Tyrunt is a freaking Tyrannosaurus Rex in Pokemon form! what cant you love about him? just look at him and tell me he's not the best thing that happen to pokémon.


It's only 17 days left for this gem to hit the stores, so it's time to get hype because this will be the best Pokémon to come out so far and in the meantime I will try to finish dark souls because I wont have any time to play other games when Pokémon Y and X is out, cya.

Pokemon X and Y hype - Zacko

I'm also looking forward to the upcoming X and Y versions, and I'll make sure to write a longer post about it once the game is out! I'm definitely hyped about it, but I'm not entirely sure which starter I'll be getting.
I usually end up putting my starter pokemon in the storage anyway, and the biggest exception to that rule would be pokemon red and blue where I actually used Charizard all the way to level 100.

I'm not entirely sure who my first starter was, but I think it was Squirle, and I've always really liked Blastoise, but I usually ended up with Charmander on my playthroughs, so I'll have to add both of them to my list of starters. In the following games, I mostly stuck with fire pokemon, with the exception of Black & White where I went with Oshawott instead of the pig.

For the upcoming game, I'll probably go with Froakie, since he's the first one that caught my eye, and remained the most interesting among the secondary evolutions, but I tend to pick my starters based on their final form since I'll be using it the most if I let it stick around instead of chilling at the PC.
It's also fun that we'll be able to pick the original starters again, and I'll have a hard time picking between Charizard and Blastoise, but I might actually go with Blastoise this time and make it a double-water starter. Who gets to stay in the team? We'll find out in the future.

Pokémon X and Y hype!

Hi! I'm getting all hyped up for the new Pokémon game, this one is actually starting to look like the kind of game I wanted to play for the last four generations.

One of my favorite upgrades is that it looks like you're finally allowed to move around freely, not restricted to moving straight along the x- or y-axis (hurr hurr). I've always felt so confined, in a way, by those kind of controls so I really look forward to this and think it'll give it more of the feeling of being a real rpg.

Other things I really like in the new game:

• The ability to change your appearance to your liking! Hell yeah, I can feel unique!
• More movement in the battle scenes. Maybe this will make it look a bit closer to how it looks in the anime? Anyways, it is surely to bring the pokémon closer to life and that is good.
• Most of the new Pokémon. Most of the new ones look really cool and unique (the previous generation felt kind of boring) and come on, you can change the hairstyle of that poodle pokémon Furfrou, awesome!

I'm really hoping for a nice way to interact with your friends within the game, that's one of the few things that worries me, but I felt that Black and White took the multiplayer aspect in the right direction with playing minigames with your friends (however Pokéathlon is still the best).

Froakie, Fennekin and Chespin.

The most important thing right now is choosing a starter!

As you can see, I started off with three generations of fire starters and then switched to grass for two so, if following the trend, I should be picking Chespin however that was (from the start) the only starter that didn't catch my eye and instead I thought of going back to my favorites, the fire starters, and go with Fennekin. But now, as they've introduced their second evolutions, I've changed my mind and is thinking that this might be the first time to choose a water type, Froakie!

I'm still not sure (I need to see their final forms before I decide) but really, isn't it time to give a water starter a chance to show me what it got?

(Oh, and I'll be playing the X-version for sure. Who doesn't want the game with the elk god from Princess Mononoke on the box?)

He's much more see-through than this in real life!

Oi! I went to Sprout Tower the other night and even though I had been there earlier it was totally different in during nighttime! The pillar in the middle with it's silent and rhythmic movements made me look over my shoulder, was that the pillar moving or was it something else?
Okay, I knew there were pokémon here but still! What if there was something else? I don't know what, maybe some other kind of ghost or geist or what if there were demons living here?!
So I kept Cyndra close, her fires burning softly in the dark and I was somewhat calmed. Then a second problem occurred to me: how do you find a Gastly? I after some sneaking about in the temple I decided that the best tactic would be to sit down and wait for Gastly to find me. I had Pin, with his keen eyes, act as lookout and finally (at about 3 a.m.) (X_x) he cried for my attention but I could see nothing at all... It took a while but then I had Cyndra fight the sneaky ghost and we managed to catch him, and I named him Kowai! :P

Now I'm on my way to Ecruteak to take on the next gym leader (whom I've heard uses ghost-type pokémon by the way) but first I've got to train some more, I don't think I've got what it takes just yet since I've got no pokémon with type advantages on this one...

Bye! <3

Oh! You know what? I had the scariest of battles with Whitney! I knew she was going to be tougher than the previous gym leaders I've met, a friend of mine had told me that even though her pokémon where "just normal pokémon" they were to be feared in battle and I can now say that she was right...
Nino and Rocky where the one's who did most of the work but I have to thank my Flaaffy Nue whose static wool caused Miltank to be paralyzed as she fought Rocky (but that wouldn't have worked hadn't it been for the poison Nino caused Miltank which made it eat the Lum berry it was carrying).
And how the fight dragged out~
Rocky fell in love with Whitney's Miltank and Miltank was partly paralyzed and used a lot of milk drink and I had to use potions on Onix in order to keep up. In the end I got lucky, Rocky managed to attack even though he felt love for Miltank and Whitney's pokémon suffered greatly from paralysis the final rounds allowing Rocky to knock her out!
Oh, how happy I was! My heart was racing since I thought it'd be my first loss actually... (^___^);;
Whitney was STRONG and started crying as her final pokémon fainted!
I didn't know what to do so I tried comforting her the best I could but she didn't want my counsel (I can understand that, after all it was my fault she was sad) and so I was just about to leave as one of her friends from the gym came up to me and told me to wait for a moment. Apparently, this is how Whitney usually reacts to losing (why become a gym leader if you can't handle losses without getting upset by the way?!) and so I went back to her after some time spent chatting with the other girl.
This time she gave me her badge and so now I've got the Plain Badge, yay! (^___^)

I think I'm gonna spend the night in the Sprout Tower to celebrate, Ethan told me I could find Gastly there so I would really like to go even though I think a place like that'll be really scary at night...
However, there's a weird tree blocking the shortcut back to Violet City...

G'night now~

I just recently started off on my adventure to take on the Elite Four (or at least that's what Professor Elm thinks I should be doing).

Isn't he cute?! I named him "Nino". :3

I was entrusted with one of his pokémon namely the Cyndaquil which I named Cyndra (and yes, she's actually a she) and Professor Oak gave me a Pokédex.
I haven't been that much into pokémon before, of course I've played a lot with Ethan and his Marill but in general, no. However, ever since I got Cyndra things have changed and I'm now training hard to take on Whitney and her fiercesome Miltank. The Onix Rocky I in a trade for my Bellsprout will surely be strong enough to take her on but I feel like there's something missing. So as I walked about route 35 I met a male Nidoran and as I fought him he double kicked my Pidgey Pin!
I've learnt that a normal pokémon like Miltank should be weak against fighting moves and so I captured the little one and trained him and now my little Nino isn't that small anymore since he evolved into a Nidorino and I tell you; it looks really weird seeing him with his short legs using double kick!

Wish me luck at the gym! <3
