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!!!!

Ragdoll Ramblings | April 2025

 You know. I think there needs to be some form of acceptance in all of this.  Life is… difficult. Of course, I'm working towards making it a touch easier but there's always going to be some kind of strife happening, at the very least, in proximity to me. Whether it's the personal storm that swirls in my psyche or my country drop kicking its economy and morals into the nearest trash heap, I fear times are always going to be eventful.  While I'd love to be a machine that runs on spite, sometimes I succumb to the storm. And lately it has been raging but ā€œHeave ho, onwards we rowā€.  Soooooo to give the tl;dr on the content:  L oveSeat has a few unedited videos but the final few still need to be recorded. I know it's April. Be nice.   RPG Sunday is fully edited and scheduled, which has been great for progress. I'm at the point where I'm streaming and uploading a VOD almost the same day.  Monday Show has no progress Retro Tuesday VODs are unedited but w...

Alien: Romulus Reminds Me Horror is Good (Review)

Foreword I have a very particular taste in horror movies. When I was young and first discovered horror, I became obsessed with it. I may be able to trace that obsession back to video games with what little footage I saw of Resident Evil 4 and how desperately I wanted to play it, despite being far too young to purchase it myself. It could also be a product of the fascination with ghosts and spirits and demons I had. Regardless, I've consumed a fair bit of the horror genre as a whole. I've played numerous games, own several books, and have watched many movies, shows and videos. Perhaps this is why I have a love and hate relationship with horror movies.  I believe the problem, which is an issue for fictional media as a whole, is that horror relies heavily on the unexpected. If you've ever seen John Carpenter's Halloween, you've seen every slasher flick. If you've seen The Exorcist (I haven't. Be nice) you've seen every procession movie. If you have past ex...

Ragdoll Ramblings | Newsletter for 1/1/2025

 Dusk of the First Day 8736 Hour Remain New year, new beginnings - so and so forth. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't also fall into the trap of trying to reinvent myself in some way each year only for it to crash and burn.  To increase my chances of success, really the only thing I'm working on is my discipline in relation my creative work. Surely, I can spare an hour a day writing. Easily I can spare an hour a day recording or editing videos. We'll see how it goes. I mean, I am kinda forcing myself to write even this even though I'm a sleepy baby.  For the tl;dr club that just wants to see what I'm trying to work on or where certain projects stand:  Writing Still working through Season 1 of Ed, Edd n Eddy reviews. All the notes that I need for it have been done for a hot minute. Episode 13 is currently in production. As with the change to the YouTube, I'll probably wait until the whole Season is finished before I start releasing them. If I'm able to...
