Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 4

January 21, 2023January 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments playthrough, pokemon, pokemon violet

This is the part in which I go to every Pokecenter on the island of Paldea. Why? I don’t really know, I just like having easy-to-access teleporting between locations. In fact, I actually do that in a lot of games I play. Unlocking new areas is always fun. What started all of this was actually quite simple. I was riding Miraidon and decided to jump over a wall in Mesagoza to see what happened. Turns out, I ended up at the Pokecenter next to the Pokemon League. I probably wasn’t supposed to be there, but I took it as a… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon That Would Be Awesome If They Had Better Moves

January 20, 2023January 8, 2023 Medic 0 Comments legendary, legendary pokemon, pokemon, pokemon go

Not all Pokemon are equal. And not all Pokemon get added to Pokemon GO. But sometimes Pokemon are added and they turn out to be completely useless. Normally, this applies to ‘early game’ Pokemon like Pidgey or Weedle, but it turns out that even legendary Pokemon can be completely screwed over, just because they don’t have a good selection of moves to choose from. Here are five unlucky Pokemon that are really missing out. Xerneas Xerneas is one of my favourite legendary Pokemon, but it’s in a terrible state currently. As I mentioned in this article, Xerneas is stuck with… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon That Are Useless But I Don’t Have the Heart to Transfer them

January 19, 2023January 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, shiny

Really, Pokemon GO is a pretty grim game. The majority of Pokemon you collect, they are chucked away and transferred, because they’re not very useful. Only the cream of the crop are allowed to stick around, and eventually even some of the better Pokemon get transferred away, to make space for Pokemon that are slightly better. Otherwise, in the end, you run out of backpack space. So space had to be made and Pokemon have to be sacrificed. Despite all this, I am a bit of a hoarder of Pokemon. I have so many that I’ve meant to transfer and… [Continue Reading]

The Mega Sandwich

January 18, 2023January 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments food, sandvich, sandwich

Everyone enjoys some sort of sandwich. Whether it’s a humble peanut butter and jam, to a filling burito, all the way to questionable sandwiches like burgers and hotdogs, there is a sandwich for everyone. One of my personal favourites is the egg mayo sarnie. However, today I will be talking about the MEGA SANDWICH. Basically, it’s a sandwich that uses a whole loaf of bread. The Mega Sandwich is very simple. Rather than using slices of bread, we hollow out a loaf of bread and stick in all the stuff you’d normally put into a standard sandwich. But how you… [Continue Reading]

Gozilla 1998 is a massive iguana. No, radiation doesn't turn iguanas into massive, dinosaur-like beings. It kinda just kills them like most other things.

Velocipastor

January 17, 2023January 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments dinosaurs, movie, review

Sometimes, it’s nice watching a b-movie. There are so many movies being made all the time, that you’re bound to miss some. Not all movies though are equal, not just in quality, but in production costs as well. This sort of thinking is how I ended up watching Velocipastor. Now, I’m not normally a viewer of b-movies, but there was no way we could turn down a movie about a pastor that turns into a dinosaur. We were spurned onwards by what people had also searched. Terms like “is Velocipastor a real movie?” The answer to that question is ‘yes’.… [Continue Reading]

An Early Pokemon Interlude

January 16, 2023January 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon

So I’ve been playing Pokemon Violet for a bit now, and I have some thoughts. I haven’t gotten too far into the game, I’ve only done the first titan and first gym. I feel though that I’ve had enough experience to question what I’ve seen. First things first, this whole game is just like the wild areas in Pokemon Sword and Shield, just with added towns. Even Pokecenters are no longer buildings, instead every Pokecenter is a shack, with a TM machine and a shop to buy Pokeballs and stuff. A side effect of this is that the towns feel… [Continue Reading]

A Nice Walk in the Dark

January 15, 2023December 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments night, pokemon go, ramble

I consider myself a fortunate person. I live in a country where going out at night is mostly safe. The most likely thing to get you is a car that doesn’t stop at red lights. And because it’s so calm, I can also go out and play some Pokemon GO as well. It’s very pleasant. However, currently, it’s cold, and it gets dark quite early. We are in the middle of winter, after all. But the darkness can be a little depressing. This is where Pokemon GO comes into play, chewing away at my more negative feelings. It’s nice, just… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 3

January 14, 2023December 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments medic plays pokemon violet, playthrough, pokemon violet

I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little bit lost. I can’t decide what I actually want to do, and instead I’ve just been wandering around. Since part 2 all I have really done is go from pokecenter to pokecenter, unlocking waypoints to be able to fly to later on. So here’s what I’ve been up to. The major thing I have been doing is catching Pokemon. Anything new I come across, I grab my Pokeballs and try to weaken them down so I can catch them. This has been going quite well with Ringo the Weed Cat, mostly just using… [Continue Reading]

Chespin Commuinity Day

January 13, 2023January 8, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, hoenn, kecleon, pokemon, pokemon go, shiny

The new year has been pretty good so far in Pokemon GO. We had a nice new year’s event, and, at the time of writing, an event with fairies and dragons coming up. We’re also starting the year with a more familiar face, a starter Pokemon. After a long delay, we seem to be back on course when it comes to Community Days. And January’s Community Day is for Chespin, the spiky nut Pokemon, and the grass starter for the Kalos region. It’s been a while since we last saw a community day starter, and Chespin is nice and refreshing.… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 2

January 12, 2023December 28, 2022 Medic 0 Comments medic plays pokemon violet, playthrough, pokemon violet

I’m back here, playing more Pokemon Violet, but guess what? There’s a time skip! After going to bed after my first day at school, there’s a massive time skip, up until the school’s big event, the Treasure Hunt. Honestly, I am just perplexed by the time skip. But anyway, the time skip passes and we are left standing outside the school, being told about the treasure hunt. There’s no actual treasure or anything. It’s basically the school director telling the kids to explore the island rather than doing classes, in a bid to get them all outside and, uh, learn… [Continue Reading]
