Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 6

Last time round, I managed to get the Grass badge. And this time, I’m very quickly gunning towards the Water badge. Before I do that though, I decide to level myself up a little bit. Milo’s Pokemon were a higher level than mine, and I’m pretty sure whatsherface’s Pokemon will be level 20 or higher. I also decide to go shopping before making my way to water town. It’s always good to have plenty of potions and pokeballs. However, as I head down to the next down on my freshly ‘borrowed’ bike, I run into Hop again. And he wants… [Continue Reading]

Rest Well, Ringo

Today, a bright and sunny Thursday, 23th July, our poor cat Ringo was put to sleep. You may remember Ringo from an article a long time ago, talking about his life. We also had a April Fools blog post where Ringo took over the website for a bit. Ringo is one of the two cats I’ve ever owned and, once he became a family member, he was accepted and grew up to have a happy life. Unfortunately, his life was recently cut short, due to cancer. He was ill, he was tired and he was refusing to eat. Ringo knew… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 5

We start off Part 5 of this dumb adventure by grinding some more. I am due to face Milo, the Grass-type leader, but I have only one fire type. Yes, it’s a Growlithe, one of my favourites, but he’s lacking in levels. So after a quick grind to get Gruffle the Growlithe to level 15, I head over to the massive Turffield Stadium to challenge the gym leader. Once there, I put on my special challenger cloths and go through the doors to the gym. Before I do anything though, I have a “Grass challenge” I need to do. Basically,… [Continue Reading]

Who likes cut scenes? I do! Actually, I kinda don’t. Which is a shame because I’m going to be sitting through one. I’m now in Motostoke, and we have to go to the arena for some sort of opening ceremony. Before we can do that though, there’s a list of chores that need doing. We need to book into the hotel and get our special costumes fitted. It seems that every challenger has to wear a costume with a number on it, so of course I chose my lucky number to be 666. The opening ceremony starts the next day,… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 3 – Off-screen Catching

June 21, 2022July 19, 2022 Medic 0 Comments grind, Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time, pokemon, pokemon shield

I’m supposed to be going to Motostoke Stadium to do some more competitive stuff, but frankly, I wasn’t particularly happy with my team. Not having any idea of what is coming up, I decided to do some off-screen catching of Pokemon. I mean, all I had were a handful of Pokemon from the starter area, all of whom needed leveling up. So I felt like I needed to catch and level up some stronger Pokemon. The difference between level 10 and level 15 feels huge. Turns out, those 5 levels make a huge difference. To the point that my poor… [Continue Reading]

Hiya and welcome back to the idiot who’s never played a Pokemon game before. Last time round, we saw route 1, went to a pokecenter and picked up a pokedex. This time round, we need to go and visit the Professor, who is at the end of Route 2. While I thought this would be a quick visit, it turned out to be way longer than I expected. A trip to the Professor On our way to the Professor’s house though, we run into our first few actual Pokemon trainers that aren’t Hop. these guys all have 1-2 Pokemon each… [Continue Reading]

Not a Fan of the Drifter

Please note that this article is very spoiler-heavy. If you haven’t played the New War, I recommend going and doing that before reading this article, so you can avoid the biggest spoiler of the quest. It’s also probably worth playing the Angels of the Zariman quest too, since I’ll be mentioning that.

Today, I am playing Pokemon Shield. This is my first time, and I’ve got a massive adventure ahead of me. One that I actually don’t know much about. In today’s article, I’ll be going to meet the Champion and hopefully choose my first Pokemon. Here we go! I’ve chosen my character. She’s a small girl with blonde hair. She just needs a name, because I’m not going to use her actual name. So for now her name is Retvik. I know that’s a name I normally use and it doesn’t fit at all, but it doesn’t matter. And it’s better… [Continue Reading]

I’ve never played an actual Pokemon game before. Sure, I play Pokemon GO, but that game has half the battling and a very different combat system. I’ve also played Pixelmon Reforged, which does have the correct combat system but is a chore to play. The most I’ve ever done is briefly play on other people’s games. And that’s it. However, I think it’s time to change that. After all these years, I’m going to play an actual Pokemon game. “What took you so long?” Well, it’s mostly because I never had the right device. The consoles I had while growing… [Continue Reading]

Fight or Flee in the Sea of Thieves

June 16, 2022June 10, 2022 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

The Sea of Thieves is just that: a sea of thieves. We’re all pirates roaming across a special, pirate-only part of the sea, trying to make ourselves as rich and powerful as possible. But not everyone has the same ideas in Sea of Thieves. Some people just want to be overly friendly and look for treasure. Others prefer the more standard pirate life, which involves murder and pillaging anyone they see. What makes people stand out though is how they deal with conflict. Fighting or Fleeing The question is, do you stay and fight and hold your ground, or do… [Continue Reading]
