Character Ramble~!

Hallo, everybody! I don't know how many people are actively reading this, even out of my friends (with 1 follower). ^^;;

Anyway, I'd just like to ramble a bit on some characters. I checked Serebii and saw an update about the Pokemon manga, and I've always liked Silver's design in the manga, so it made me wanna write about them. |'D


So, I'd like to start this one out with a character we all know well! Ash Ketchum is a character that everyone who knows Pokemon should know. He's the one all little trainers want to be when they're growing up, and when they watch the anime. They want to go on his adventures, see what he sees, experience the world of Pokemon! Well... I know that's how I felt. To this day, I still think it would be the most awesome thing every to travel in the Pokemon World. I wish it were possible, honestly. Either way, there were a few things that I always liked about Ash. He always got to experience everything, he got to travel freely, he never gave up ever, and most of all... I want a Charizard! Haha, it's still a fave of mine~ Anyway, I urge you all to watch the anime! Even the new ones are good, though they fail when compared to the old! ^^"


I continue on with another huge favorite to many Pokemon fans! I even know a little someone who stopped watching the anime altogether once Misty left~! |'3 Anyway, Misty is another major character in the Pokemon series, and a lot of people were disappointed when she left Ash to go it alone, and headed back to Cerulean to take over the Gym. I am proud of her exploits and comedy through the series, and can honestly say Pokemon would not have been as good (anime-wise) without her~ And We all know we like her! glares at Misty haters Anyway, from her Horsea to her Staryu, her Psyduck to her Togepi, and even Politoed and Starmie... Her team is one to remember, and was always a major part of the series... See you another time, Misty!


And finally, another major character! This one makes more of a prominent stance in the games than the anime, though, but I believe he did once make an anime cameo (gotta check that fact). Anyway, this is Silver, one of the most well-known rivals in the entire series, beaten only by Gary Oak. He originated in Gold, Silver, and Crystal for the GBC, but was remade for the DS on HeartGold and SoulSilver. Not much is known about the young thief. And that has more meaning than it should. You don't even know his name the first time you see him! I'm guessing it's mostly due to his personality or possibly boredom of fans, but it seems that Silver is the one Rival in history that people most like to name badly. Whether it be profane or just stupid (I've actually seen someone name him "Stupid"), the strange names people give to Silver is more variant than on any other Rival. Along with this, over the course of the game he annoys you with high sense of power (even giving a quip of how losers get lucky sometimes, when you beat him in the Burnt Tower). Later on, you slowly notice how he changes from the horrible thief you made him out to be, into a more respectable, loyal, and even righteous young man. His change of goal and personality gives you a ton of respect for him later, and it saddens me that he does not follow you into the Kanto Region after you beat him in front of the Pokemon League. I'm at least glad you can fight him any time you desire, though~ Well, here's my favorite rival for ya'!


Well, there you go, guys! 3 characters from the games and anime series, and a lot of info and review about them! I hope you like this, and continue to read on! I'll see ya' all soon! :3

Pokemon Global Link - Instructions

Hallo, once again~! :3

I'm here this time to tell you all how you can get your game into the Pokemon Global Link (PGL)! I'm getting excited here, myself! *jumping around*

------------------

1. Anyway, first you'll need to make sure you have a Pokemon Trainer's Club account, as I've mentioned a few times before.

2. Next, go to pokemon-gl.com (most servers will automatically send you to the one that fits your region, like US or Japan).

3. From here, sign into your Pokemon Trainer's Club account on the left taskbar.

4. After you do this, it will require you to create a new PGL nickname, which unfortunately can't be the same as your Pokemon Trainer's Club screen name, I believe. Sucks if you're like me and usually go by one name on things like this (NiGHtsBeta09 for me).

5. When you do this, go into your Pokemon Black Version or Pokemon White Version, and at the title menu (New Game, Continue, ect.) go to Game Sync Settings.

6. In this option, it will connect you to WiFi, then you should answer "Yes" to the question it gives you. Give it a minute or two to create a random code. Write this down if you need to!

7. On the same screen where you typed in your new nickname, it will ask for a Game Sync ID. This is where you type in the code that your DS game just gave you.

8. Click "Register" and continue to the next page, click "Continue" when you check if the info is correct, then you will have created your PGL account! (Linked to the Pokemon Trainer's Club account)

9. After this, you can go into your game that you just registered to the PGL, check your C-Gear, and go to the "Online" option there.

10. Choose the "Game Sync" option (only option there) and follow the simple steps to tuck one of your Boxed Pokemon to sleep~

11. Go online to the Dream World part of the PGL, and enjoy play games with your Pokemon~

12. Have fun, and get some good items/Pokemon there! Hope everyone likes it~!

------------------

Well, there's the breakdown of the PGL for ya' all! Just remember, you can only spend an hour in the Dream World per 24 hour period, so don't forget to get your Pokemon back, and trust me... Don't edit the time on your DS. If you wait 23 and a half hours, skip time a half hour ahead, and try, you'll have to wait an additional 24 hours! So 47.5 hours total!

So besides that, enjoy, guys! :3 Buh-bye~!

Pokemon Global Link + Event!

Hey, guys! Got some more info for ya' all!

Well, it's what we've all ("we've all" meaning B&W players) been waiting for~! The Pokemon Global Link is now live and open in Japan, as well as it opens for every other region of the game! That means us too, US! *yays*

So, for any of you looking forward to the Dream World (I know I am~), be sure to connect to it as soon as you can! Again, you need an account at the Pokemon Trainer's Club on the main site in order to connect the game to the Global Link, so if you need one still, get one at the link below! It's free!

Pokemon Trainer's Club

Anyway, now that the Global Link is finally released, I will post up some instructions on how to get your game, and Pokemon, into the land of Dreams~! I hope you all have fun there~!! :3

--------------------------------------------

On a somewhat-related note, there is another event being released soon! Again, this one is for Pokemon Black and White. I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for those still playing strictly on HeartGold or SoulSilver... o3o" Not that that's bad~ I love those games too, and play my SS a lot~

Anyway, anyone that's been following the events may have heard of this one before. It's a Toys R Us event, and it begins on April 27th, and ends on May 31st. This is known as the Secret Egg Giveaway~

What makes it so Secret? you may ask? Well... *laughs*

Well, you have a random chance of recieving an Egg containing a Mamepato (Pidove), Yanappu (Pansage), or a Kibago (Axew)! For those of you who follow the anime, you will know these are based on the characters Ash, Cilan, and Iris respectively, as they have one of these Pokemon! It is unknown which one you will get, and once you receive the Egg, it is set in stone. Hope you all get what you want! *needs an Axew to finish his team, being hopeful*

Well, I gotta go check out the Dream World and give you guys the info, so I'll see you later today! Guten tag~! :3

A double post! *gasp* Featuring music~

Hallo, readers! :3

Due to my recent business taking up my time, I decided to supply you with a second post in the same day to make up for a bit! Anyway, remember, if you guys would like to hear about anything in particular, let me know! It helps!

I've been listening to a lot of Pokemon music on my iPod and online, and so I thought I'd just share some of my favorites with you guys!

-------------------------------

I guess one of them would be the Champion and Trainer Red Battle Theme from Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver! I just love how this song gets straight to the action, and has a great feel to it when compared to a lot of songs! It just gets me really pumped during the battle with both Champion Lance and Trainer Red. Haha... Anyway, what starter did you guys get? I always use Totodile, with a rare Cyndaquil~ ^^" Don't get me wrong, I like Cyndaquil too, but Totodile's my favorite in Johto.



The next one I'd have to say is Team Rocket Double Trouble! Haha, I'm a big fan of the Team Rocket Trio, ever since the Indigo League, and this song is hilarious, but catchy. If you guys just want a fun song to listen to, I'd recommend this one for sure~ The fact that Jessie, James, and even Meowth sing this themselves is another fun bonus! I think you'd all like it...probably... >>"



Finally, I'll leave you guys with one final song. This is a fave of mine, and of someone very important to me~ Haha, someone who also ended up stop watching the anime sometime after this episode, due to what happened to her favorite character.. ^^" I'm not gonna say too much more, besides that it's a very calm and nice song to listen to. I hope you all like it, and to find out what it is, check below! Mwahahaha-- *hackcoughgagbreathe* .....I'm ok... >>"



Anyway, I think that should be enough for now. I'll save more good songs for another time, so I hope you all keep reading!

To all my loyal readers here: Guten tag! Ja ne!

I'm back!

Sorry, guys! I know I've been saying I'll post every other day at least for a while now, and I've failed so soon... It's just I have many deadlines to meet, like my school Senior Project. The darn thing is a graduation requirement, and a big portion of it is due next week.

Anyway, I've been spending each day this week drawing multiple art pieces for a book I have to make for my project. My subject I chose was Art, so my Community Service portion was to make a book with my own story/art, and donate it to the children's ward at the Whittier Presbyterian Hospital. It's been a hassle, but at least it's helping with my art block...

So, I have drawn about... 5 pieces so far, I think? I'm gonna get as many as I can done today, and maybe a couple more tomorrow if I still need it. Tomorrow I'm printing, binding, and donating it, so hopefully this will all finally be done with... Well, I'm sure you guys don't want to hear me rant about my schoolwork, especially after being gone for a while. ^^;; So, what else to say~?

Pokemon starts here!!

So, on a lighter, Pika-related note: I have info on the Global Link! Apparently, the site has told its members (me included) that the Pokemon GL will be up and running by the 13th, but sadly, they took down that info soon after.

At the time, I'm not sure if this means it still will be released then, or if they may have changed it due to problems. Let's all hope for the best and root for the company supplying us with these fun (yet sometimes weird) creatures!

So, we also have to remember Japan's current situation. The massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake along with a dual tsunami took out much of the coast, and almost all of the Tohoku region. If you guys have time, please make a donation or something to help Japan. They need it!

Ongoing Events! Don't miss 'em!

Hallo again, everyone! Don't know how many active readers I have so far, but I figure I'll get more over time! Haha... Anyway, I decided to let you all in on the info now~

Not sure if you guys know, but there are a few live Pokemon Events going on now! (thus explaining my little Celebi up there~) Anyway, obviously the internet does not discriminate countries, and I don't know if any non-US peoples are reading my stuff, so I'll try and be as thorough as possible, ok?

United States

Liberty Ticket - This ticket allows you to get to Liberty Garden Island in the new Black and White games, where you can catch the Legendary Victini, the Victory Pokemon! This event will last until April 10th (less than a week!), so get it over WiFi if you haven't already!

Europe

Liberty Ticket - Again, this ticket brings you to a small island with a lighthouse, where you can catch the perfect stat Legendary Victini! Get it over WiFi before April 22nd if you haven't yet, ok?

Other

(I believe this refers to Australia and other countries that got the games)

Liberty Ticket - And finally, again due to its later release than the US copy of Black and White, countries outside of the US, Japan, and Europe have a chance to get the Liberty Ticket and the Legendary Pokemon Victini! Get this one before April 28th, and you'll be good to go! WiFi again, by the way~



So there you have it, guys! I hope this was useful to you all, and that none of you miss the Events! :3 I will be updating this blog with more Pokemon information, and possibly special updates for new Events, ok? Have fun, and gute nacht! ("Good night!" in German)

First Global Link Event

Eeveelutions

Hallo again, readers! :3

As my next post I decided to be a bit more... informative with it. As some of you may already know of, the new Pokemon Black & White games can connect online to an area called the Dream World, where we can send one of our Pokemon over WiFi, then play with it here on our computers!

Anyway, the Global Link (which is the host site of the Dream World) has not been activated in the US yet, and has been pushed back due to the recent disasters in Japan. Well, the Pokemon GL should be out soon enough, hopefully this month, and Nintendo has released their first GL-related Event for us! If you go onto the Pokemon Trainer's Club website (link below) and login, you get to play a game! It's a simple Brick-Breaker-esque game where you collect dropped orbs. Whichever orbs you collect the most of will determine the Eeveelution you get at the end (ie. more Water Orbs will give Vaporeon, more Psychic Orbs will give Espeon)! At the end, it tells you which Eeveelution you received, and you have the choice to keep that one, or play again for a new one. Caution! You only get to keep one that you choose, so choose wisely! Once you do this, you can later retrieve your new Pokemon, who will be waiting for you in the Dream World!

So, the thing about these special Pokemon is that they have their special Dream World abilities, which are otherwise unobtainable! Some of these are a bit trivial, while others help the Pokemon immensely! So, if you would like to go and play the game, use the link below and login to the Pokemon Trainer's Club. Have fun!

Pokemon Trainer Club

PS) I chose Umbreon~ ;3 May not have had the best DW Ability, but he's still my favorite!
