The team stop a Dynamax'd Gyarados

So I’m the champion now, and most people recognize me as such. But for reasons I can’t explain, there are these two dorks that are doing stupid shit with Dynamax, trying to prove some bullshit about the two Legendary Pokemon who helped on the Darkest Day. And it all starts when I go and see the grave of said Pokemon. I end up running into Hop, who has the sword relic, while I have my shield relic. We have a quick battle (which Hop loses) but are interrupted by Sonia and two assholes. Seriously, these guys are massive twunts. They… [Continue Reading]

Challenging the Champion

It’s finally happening. I’m finally, finally going to face Leon. And blimey, the crowd is intense. This is going to be one hell of a fight. Especially since I have no idea what team Leon has built for me to fight against. I’m actually kinda nervous. After Leon spews out a powerful (but silent) speech about how amazing this challenge is, he finally starts the battle, summoning his first Pokemon, Aegislash. I do the same, summoning my Salazzle, Charm. Charm swiftly beats Aegislash after its second King’s Shield fails, succumbing to Flamethrower and dying in one hit. Leon’s next Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

A Quick Unboxing Article

Two Mysterious Boxes to open

For most of my life, getting anything via the post is a long, slow, tedious process. Shipping things to Aphrodite’s Island of Love is tricky because, quite obviously, Cyprus is an island. But on top of that, mail here is just slow all round. It’s very easy for things to get delayed, but eventually, the post always comes. That’s why I rarely order things online, I don’t want to be waiting forever for whatever it is I order. However, I have been known to purchase the occasional cool thing. Back in March and April though, Warframe was celebrating its anniversary,… [Continue Reading]

Imagining Myself as a Pokemon Gym Leader

by
Medic surrounded by Houndooms and Houndours

Having been working my way through Pokemon Shield, I’ve come to realize that there are a lot more Pokemon I both do and don’t like. From complete unknowns (and unowns) to Pokemon I now like more than ever before, I am finding that my table of favourite Pokemon has definitely been shaken up. And when it comes to talking to others about it, it’s insanely hard to pick even a number 1 now. However, we can spend all day discussing favourites when instead we can look at things in a more practical way. Why not put yourself in the shoes… [Continue Reading]

A pair of good boys

Okay! It’s finally time! Time to challenge Leon, the Champion! We’re both out on the pitch, Leon is giving me a speech about how awesome this fight will be, and the hype is real! Chairman Rose is oddly missing in person, but don’t worry, he’s on the big screen with a message for us! Yep, Chairman Rose just kick-started the apocalypse. The Darkest Day is back, because Rose was worried that we’d run out of energy some time in the next thousand years. And as if on cue, massive plumes of Dynamax energy are exploding across Galar, the biggest coming… [Continue Reading]

A new gym leader

I don’t know why, but it never occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, all the gym leaders would also want a go at challenging Leon the champion. After all, you have to fight an elite four before you face the champion in other Pokemon games, so of course we have something similar here. Well, I say that, I didn’t know the gym leaders were also the elite 4. I dunno, it’s weird. I’ve just beaten my rivals and now I’m fighting the gym leaders I already beat. Except this time, they are actually trying, and they also want a… [Continue Reading]

She angery

Leon’s been gone for way too long. To the point that even I’m worried about him. Sure, the guy gets lost occasionally, but his Charizard always seems to get him back on track. Plus, this is Wyndon and there’s only one massive 5* hotel here. So it’s pretty hard to get lost. Clearly, something is going on. And Hop understandably wants to find his big brother. However, we’re told to stay put. And being the good 10 year old kids we are, we completely ignore that request and rush off to find Leon. Who is apparently at a meeting with… [Continue Reading]

Things I have Kinda Missed in Pokemon Shield

by
Spikemuth

Turns out, there is a lot more in Pokemon Shield, aside from battling. And, honestly, I have ignored most of it. Things like trading and camping and stuff like that. It seems like I am missing quite a lot. And there are definitely some fun things to discuss. Take Camping for example. Pretty much wherever you are, you can set up your tent, take a break and spend some time with your Pokemon. Not only can your Pokemon get some fresh air, but you can also play with them, either by waggling a toy or playing fetch with a ball.… [Continue Reading]

Rose Stadium

So here we are, at the magnificent city of Wyndon! Or at least, we would be, had the train not dumped us off at the bottom of a massive, snowy hill. There are hikers and business men scattered around, as well as some pretty high level Pokemon. To get to Wyndon proper, we have to climb this massive hill. Seriously, this walk is so weird. Mostly because I’m playing as a ten year old wearing a skirt. You know what makes matters worse though? There are a TON of people on this route for us to battle. And I’m not… [Continue Reading]

Totally not scary in any way, entering a dark castle...

Okay! Dragon Gym time! I’ve always been a fan of dragon types but I actually don’t have many dragon types, aside from a noibat in a box somewhere. No, Toxel isn’t a dragon type. I’ve been a tad worried about this gym fight, mostly because I have no idea how many dragons I’ll have to fight, and I don’t have any strong ice Pokemon. I do have Snore, the Shiinotic I caught for the Dark Gym, who is a fairy type. However most dragons tend to breathe fire or have metal claws, and both are lethal to my little mushroom.… [Continue Reading]
