X and Y/OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire / PR Videos?

« on: September 15, 2013, 20:59 »

This is something mentioned on the website which never had a big reveal. Apparently you can make a small 10 second customised video featuring you and your Pokemon... And normally this would seem kind of gimmicky, but looking at the screenshots and reading the description, I actually quite like this. Have you guys noticed it - any thoughts?

This also serves as a hint to go digging through the X/Y menus sometimes - all sorts of new stuff pops up when you least expect it!

X and Y/OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire / More news tomorrow!

« on: September 03, 2013, 16:22 »

Just a quick heads-up that according to the official facebook page we can be expecting a bit more news tomorrow, September 4th! This will be one of the last news updates before the offiical game release, but my bet is that it will be detailing the ins and outs of Pokemon Amie.

Music / Guilty Music Pleasures

« on: January 24, 2013, 17:22 »

Sometimes, you like music despite knowing the musical creation behind it is terrible. And no matter how elitist you are about music and how much you moan and gripe about 'Pop these days', you can't deny that there is at least one appauling song that still makes you tap your foot whenever you listen to it.

That's what this place is for. Don't worry. We won't judge. Much.

(Note, this isn't necessarily for stuff that other people say is bad and you disagree - so much as stuff which people say is bad and you AGREE with their reasons, you just still enjoy it anyway.)

My guilty band pleasure is definitely Westlife... Because, yeah, I know virtually everything they do is a cover, they're basically an overglorified boy band designed for tweens to squeal over, and everything they sing is the most nbearably cheesy stuff. But I don't care. They have good voices! And their songs make me so happy! D: I can't listen to 'When You're Looking Like That' and NOT dance.

As for my guilty song pleasure. 'What Makes You Beautiful', by One Direction. The first line's autotune grates on my ears. The band cannot sing at all. The lyrics are messed up, and I can't stand the concept of 'Being shy and reserved = beautiful because YOU SHOULD BE INSECURE GODDAMNIT' but you know what, the song still makes me stupidly happy anyway. Why? I do not know. I do not know at all. But it puts me in a good mood and makes me want to dance everywhere and aaaaaaah. THIS SONG.

What about you guys?

X and Y/OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire / Favourite Starter?

« on: January 08, 2013, 16:46 »

Well, someone was going to do it... =P

I have to say, I don't DISLIKE any of them. The grass one is my least favourite though. I do really like the design of Froakie and I reckon he'll be the favourite overall - but for me, the rabid fox fan? Yeah, Fennekin is one of the most exciting things about the new games for me. Eeeeeeeeeeee <3<3<3<3<3

Character Guides / Katherine Thompson (Otherwise known as Kit)

« on: December 27, 2006, 22:35 »

(a)  Character name

Katherine Isabelle Thompson. Otherwise known as Kit, for two reasons


(b)  Age and Gender

13, Female


(c)  Description

Kit is unusually tall, with dark brown hair that reaches just below the shoulders and hazely-brown eyes. Her face has a fine, angular jawbone and a scar across her forehead; the skin itself is relatively tanned as if she was born in England but raised in a sunny climate. Her clothes wear is generally jeans and a T-shirt with a silver wolf pendant, but she will also wear her tracksuit-kind-of-trousers and carries a large, puffy jacket for the cold, rainy  days. On her feet, however, she always wears large bulky hiking boots, for she knows that the terrain she has to walk over could be very stony or bumpy and plain trainers just won't cut it. Around her waist she keeps a belt with special straps to hold her pokeballs, and she has added on another strap herself to be extra-careful they do not slip out.


(d)  History

Raised by her father mainly, who was a breeder, she has always had a fascination with raising pokemon and using those she likes. Her father taught her this at the breeding centre, and showed to her how while every pokemon was special, it was hard to love a pokemon unspecial to you enough to be true partners; loving he pokemon you raised was important, as it meant that in battle you would know their reaches and abilities well, and would neither over or underestimate them. As she grew up, she raised many different pokemon, but each one was claimed except two, who are the pokemon she raises now. She got them not long before she went on her journey, but already loves them and is looking for a Firestone for when her Vulpix feels ready to evolve. She is hoping to evolve her Eevee into Umbreon, but plans to let her eevee decide for himself when the time comes.


(e)  Friends and enemies

None as of yet

(f)  Pokémon

Vulpix, Firestorm, Female

Ember
Growl
Tail Whip
Quick Attack

Eevee, Dignatio, Male

Tackle
Bite
Growl
Sand attack

I hope that’s enough...
