All Aboard The Galar Express! (Pokemon Marathon)

It's A Brand New World We Live In

Pokemon Sword and Shield are rapidly approaching. November 15th is practically around the corner. The release of the first mainline, home console Pokemon game will soon be on every Switch everywhere. 

And this mad lad! 



Wants to visit every generation before the game is released! 


I am proud to announce that Pokemon will be invading both my YouTube Channel and this blog in massive volume in what I am dubbing: 


Let's go over the itinerary, shall we?









First on our list is the Kanto region, the one that started it all. Over on the YouTube Channel, throughout the month of July, I'll be uploading a Nuzlock Let's Play of Leaf Green. Uploads are scheduled for every weekend, but may pop up more frequently. Here on the blog you can expect a review of Leaf Green and a Ranking of my favorite first 151 Pokemon! I also hope to do a quick retrospective/review of the first season of the anime. 





Our second stop will take us to the Johto region, a place I have never been. There we will Let's Play Pokemon Heart Gold. Here on the blog you can expect to see another ranking, this time of the newly added Pokemon. You'll also be treated to another review of the next installment in the anime.





Up next is our visit to the Hoenn Region. I've played through these games but have never beat the original, only conquering this region's league in Omega Ruby. For our revisit to this part of the Pokemon world we will be Let's Playing Emerald - the "perfect" installment of the third gen. Another Ranking of the added Pokemon and a review of the anime will also be conducted here on the blog.




If Sword and Shield are somehow still not out by now, then the hype train will be visiting the Sinnoh region, the trio of games that got me back into the series. We'll be tackling Platinum, adding more reviews and lists, and anything else we can think of.



If by some miracle I manage to do all of this within the next 5 months, then we'll keep the train going for as long as possible. The next set of Games, Black + White 1 & 2 and X & Y, are games I've never played ( and hopefully can find a way to record. ) In the event I am unable to record said games, I will still gladly post the blog material - reviewing what I can and listing what I love.


By now, surely Sword and Shield will have been released and we will have come to our final stop. I may try to convince Yanzer to do a blind Let's Play with me ( seeing as we'll be getting both games, along with a second Switch ) or we may just decide to enjoy the games our own way. Either way, this marathon looks like it's going to be tremendous fun and I hope to not miss any upload dates. You can expect the hype train to leave the station THIS Saturday, June 29th. I hope to see you there.




ALLL ABOARD!!!!

A Top Gaming Experience ( Pokemon Shield Review )

-
Excuse my, more than likely, cringy attempt at using British slang. Pokemon Sword and Shield have been out for several months now, and just recently had it's first batch of DLC announced. I figured now would probably be the best time to go back and give my thoughts on the newest generation of games.  Before I dive into the game itself, let me briefly mention the controversy that preceded it. The biggest being the absence of the national dex. This was the first main series game where you could not catch every single pokemon. Game Freak has gone on record saying that this was an inevitability. It makes sense as well. I don't believe I could name a single game series that has this quantity of unique character models and animations. It would be like asking Final Fantasy to put all characters and monsters into a single game and expect the graphics to look how the Final Fantasy 7 remake looks.  Now that the expansions have announced an additional 200 pokemon being added,...

We All Live In A Pokemon World (Detective Pikachu Spoiler Free Review)

-
Pokemon has been a bit of a staple in my life. As a kid I watched the anime, I collected the cards, and I played the games. But as I grew older I fell into that pit of "I'm grown up and I don't like Pokemon". When I returned to the series it was when the Sinnoh games were released. I loved generation four, but unfortunately, I fell out of the series again until about a year ago. Now I'm pretty confident the franchise is here to stay in my heart. I love Pokemon, so I had to see Detective Pikachu. And I'm happy to say that the film did not affect my love for the pocket sized monsters. In many ways, it increased my feelings towards Pokemon as a whole. As you've probably seen, Detective Pikachu is a live action Pokemon movie, using real actors and cgi for the monsters. While first seeing the realistic Pokemon in the trailers was a little hard to accept, I think the movie did a wonderful job. Each one... With maybe the exception of Mr. Mime, looks ado...

Over Your Ed - Ed, Edd N Eddy Episode 4 Review

-

Intro Ed, Edd N Eddy for the longest time has been my personal favorite cartoon. Recently, HBOMax has picked up several cartoons from the late 90s and early 2000s. Unsurprisingly, I went on an immediate nostalgia bender and binge-watched the entire series with my lady love. And what better way to celebrate several of my favorite cartoons than by systematically reviewing each episode, starting with the dorks of Peach Creek. To keep things simple and to help me keep my sanity, allow me to break down how I plan on scoring these episodes: Each will be given a rating out of 10. To help solidify what those numbers mean, I have adopted a system similar to Angry Joe's rating system. To explain further: 10- Big Boi Lovings. Any issues are minor enough that they do not affect the score. 9- P. Awesome. Nearly flawless, has a few issues that are bad enough. 8- P. Great. The media is great. Not perfect but better than most. 7- P. Good. Above average with some rough issues. 6- Hard Enjoy. I w...
