    Graduate School

    In the fall, I'm entering graduate school for a Master's degree. I'm going to be studying amblypygid, or whip spider, navigation, combining the three fields of computational biology, behavioral ecology, and neurobiology. It's going to be new and a little intimidating. Since you guys have been...

    Diancie Event Hitting US & Europe This Friday!

    Finally, a Wi-Fi event. Walking to the local Gamestop in this heat is draining.

    Anyone else addicted to Pokemon Shuffle?

    I am usually not a huge fan of F2P games. I don't like being held back because I don't want to spend money on a game. Thankfully, the paid-for currency isn't a huge deal or a huge bonus in playing, just helping you play more often or give you a small boost that can still be earned in-game. I'm...

    Happy 'Charms Day (from the members of Pokecharms!)

    Eyup, my old laptop could use an upgrade, but it served its purpose. I thank this community for many years of a great community, great friends, and a great place to share feedback and communicate about our interests. Happy Pokecharms day, everyone!

    The 'New' Nintendo 3DS is great... and also the worst electronic product I've bought in years

    The loss of data scares me a bit. I've spent hundreds of hours on my Pokemon games, and to have all of my hard-caught and bred Pokemon just disappear is very disappointing.

    Still schmoozing into a research lab. I could either be going into riparian ecology or navigational neuroscience and ethology.

    Thank you so much! I'm sorry it took me so long to get back, real life stuff got in the way. :P

    Your Pets: Past, Present, and Future

    I've had tons of animals over the years. I've had numerous fish and aquatic frogs, a pair of hermit crabs, two gerbils, a hamster, two dogs (one died years ago, one is still alive), a cat for a brief time, and I have taken care of Kenyan sand boas in my university's herpetology lab which I...

    Are you a morning person?

    I hate waking up early. Mornings can go burn, in my humble opinion. I do if I must, but I am definitely drinking a pot of coffee, as I am not a morning person. Usually, I wake up around noon or one PM if I can get away with it, going to bed around one or two in the morning.

    Best Pokemon Nicknames???

    I tend to give my Pokemon strange, random nicknames, at least lately. For example, I have a Carbink named Garlicbread because I was hungry, or a Lotad named Partypants because I thought it was amusing. However, I have an entire game (Black 2) where everyone is named something from Roman history...

    Is The Pokemon Lore Becoming Overwhelming?

    I was pretty fond of the extended adventure in the postgame. Usually after beating the Elite Four, it's just 'ermagerd, a new battle area!' I loved the plot points and world building of the adventure with Rayquaza. It makes the games feel more enveloping and less grindy. The gym journey has been...

    Pictures, please ~

    Well, I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology. It's eaten much of my time, as should be expected, so that's why I haven't been on much. Graduate school is in the cards, but to save money, I had to graduate a semester early. That's why I'm going into grad school in the fall, to...

    Re:Rise of Team Neos

    Now, comparing the writing between this installment and the first, your flow of writing and dialogue has become a lot more natural. You've been at this endeavor for quite a while, and I admire the persistence you have, and the effort you put forth. As for blowing someone's head off, that just...

    School Clubs. . . Where do you fit In?

    I used to participate in a lot more clubs in high school than in college. I was a commuter for three out of my three and a half years in undergrad, and thus didn't have time for clubs if I wanted to be home at a reasonable time to do schoolwork. The last semester I was on campus, but doing...

    Hoopa Revealed Outside of Japan + Pokémon Shuffle Announced

    I'm not fond of the name. It just seems too obvious, too simple.

    Equinni: The tale of the horse

    I've been pretty busy this semester. Any sort of creative writing, for the most part, has taken a back seat to all the lab reports and other scientific writings I've had to do. However, for my last elective, I took an online mythology class. Yes, more writing, I know, but for one assignment, I...
