    The most annoying things

    I could rag on Zigzagoon for being all over Hoenn, but I think I'd rather register my unhappiness with the attack names of Gen IV, its moves no longer listed solely in capital letters. I'm talking about AncientPower, BubbleBeam, DoubleSlap, DragonBreath, DynamicPunch, FeatherDance...

    Shinies: First ever, ones you want, have seen, or own

    The only shinies I have are a Fearow, a Jumpluff, a Furret and a Tangela on my copy of Silver. I think it was either the Spearow or the Hoppip I caught first. Still haven't seen one on any of the Gen III games, strangely.

    A Little Something

    "Hi, sweetie!" she called from the kitchen too quickly, before he had even shut the door, as though she was trying to catch him at something. "Hi!" he called back, just as cheerily. He wasn't going to let her think he'd been taken by surprise. He held the plastic bag in one hand and leaned...

    The road to revenge

    Rather! I might even be tempted to post some fiction here myself. At the risk of going off-topic, though: (6) Better not write that the Arcanine stood 6'1" tall. Such specific measurements have no place in prose unless the observer is some kind of super measurement robot. It's just distracting...

    The road to revenge

    Good stuff, good stuff! Very nice, dramatic beginning. I want to read more. But, inevitably, I have a few nitpicks. And here they are: (1) "Patting his Salamence on his turquoise coloured shoulder"... I don't know. Saying that a Salamence has shoulders kind of unnerves me in the same way that...

    Noken Reigon

    Oh man I love the GSC-styled Gen IV critters. Mamoswine and Gliscor especially made me do a double-take. Are you going to do more sprites in that vein?

    Expanding the Charts

    This is really interesting stuff. And well-written, too. More! But harsh editor that I am (Yoshimitsu27 will attest), I can't help but point out a few things that bothered me: (1) The first paragraph is a giant. Our eyes are lazy and hate having to slog through that much text at once. You're...

    Where in the Pokemon World would you want to live?

    Johto for sure -- it's still my favorite region, even if I do really like Sinnoh. I'm thinking Olivine. A nice cottage by the sea. Or, you know what, up in the mountains would be cool, so perhaps Blackthorn. As long as I don't have to be interested in Dragon Pokemon.

    Your Most Fanwhoreish Pokemon Purchase?

    Oh yeah. You spun two of them on a hard surface and then touched them together. That would tell you which section of each coin's outer ring to look at, and by comparing them, you would... Okay, you know what, they really should have released battle dice instead. Same concept but way less...

    Your Most Fanwhoreish Pokemon Purchase?

    Oh my god, how did I forget about the battle coins? Anyone remember these suckers? Anyone? Crazy times. My sister and I got like four packs each and set to spinnin' like there was no tomorrow.

    Create Your Own Moves or Items

    Oh man, I used to be working on this project where I gathered new attack concepts from Pokemon card listings online... Good times. Let's see if I remember a couple. Derail Type: Fighting Accuracy: 100 Power: - PP: PP Description: The user braces itself to receive a foe's incoming punch, kick...

    Favorite Pokemon For Each Type

    Right! Also I'm a shameless Encyclopedia Dramatica fanboy.

    Your Most Fanwhoreish Pokemon Purchase?

    My mom wouldn't let us play video games until at the age of ten I bargained with her for a GBA and even drew up a list of terms of use specifically to get my hands on Pokemon Silver. Gents, I earned that game. And video gaming rights overall. I mean, shit, I stopped observing the terms of use...

    Dreaming about Pokemon

    Jeez, I think I only dreamed about Pokemon once. Like, six years ago. It had just come to light that Pokemon was real, and my friends and I all went off in a big cruise ship to become trainers. Please don't hurt yourself trying to imagine my disappointment upon waking up before we were even off...

    Favorite Pokemon For Each Type

    Now this is interesting. Who's the pretty coolest guy for each element? Well sir... i think normal is a pretty cool guy. eh marks his territory by using his tail like a paintbrush and doesn't afraid of anything i think flying is a pretty cool guy. eh unfailingly catches prey in darkness and...

    Your First Pokemon

    Oh man! What a question. I guess it must be Meowth. That was one of the first cards I ever received, and I subsequently fell in love with that Pokemon long before I ever laid eyes on the anime. Without Meowth, I never would have... Okay, no, I'm not going to lie. I would have sold my soul to...

    Your biggest mistake you've ever done in any Pokémon game?

    Definitely pretty sure I forgot to give that guy in Cianwood City his Shuckle back. Yep. I forgot to give Shucky back nigh 'pon every time I played Silver, I reckon. Terrible mistake to make so many times. I really don't know what's gotten into me.
