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

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

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]

Velocipastor

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

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

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

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

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

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]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 1

Honestly. I’m beginning to realize that this game is going to take a while. Especially with so much to do. I’m not even at the capital yet… Anyway, let’s get going! So, after a stop at the light house, we now make our way to the next village, where I discover that Poke Centres have really been trimmed down. They don’t even have their own building, it’s more like going to a petrol station. Nemona meets us at the small village and asks me if I battled anyone. I didn’t, I was too busy catching the local fauna. I HAD… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 0

This Christmas, my lovely boyfriend was very generous and got me Pokemon Violet for Christmas. And of course I almost immediately started to play it. And just like I did with Pokemon Shield, I thought maybe this would be a good series of articles. So that’s what I’m doing, I’m playing through Pokemon Violet. And so far, it’s actually been a bit… weird. Like a strange roller coaster or something.= Anyway, let’s get started. We start off in a very nice, luxurious house. It seems quite large, especially for only two people. Maybe a third, but most Pokemon games don’t… [Continue Reading]
