What Am I Even Doing...?

Hey, guys! Or... whoever may stumble upon this, at this point...

I'm kinda here just to say I'm kinda ashamed at myself... I mean, I told myself I would keep this blog up and running, and I did what I could to provide you guys with awesome content (at least, that's what I thought it was), but all I did was drop the project at one point.

Lately I've been so friggin' busy half the time, I rarely even remember this thing exists... And it makes me sad, honestly. My laptop's on the fritz again (yes... AGAIN!), I'm in college now and half a full week with classes, and so much more has been going on! I'm looking into getting myself a job, but idk what I wanna do. I was thinking of working at a local GameStop, but at the same time....

I also have to say, I wanna work for myself. I want to control my own future, be the decider of my own fate, the maker of my own design. I'll work for that, especially if it means I'll be able to support the ones I love. I'm currently looking up ways to make some money as we speak, but I'm not sure what to do. I keep seeing "Make A Blog!" everywhere, but... at this point, it's almost depressing me.

*sigh* Well, I need to buck up and get things straight! I'll still try and post here, but it won't be like before. Maybe if my LP's actually start picking up (once my laptop's back, of course) and I hopefully get some viewers, then... by all means, the Pokemon Hive will be making a comeback, and I promise that to you all.

Whoever reads this, well... Let me know how you're doing~ Tell me what's on your mind after this 2-month gap! ........... Well that didn't help my mood to realize...~ =3=

Anyway, I gotta bounce, so I'll catch you all late, 'kay~? Buh-bye, Hivians!

Pokemon of the Week - Donphan

Donphan

Hallo everyone, and welcome back to another Pokemon of the Week! I know I've neglected the blog for the last week (hell, this post is a day late), but I've been busy with college, and my other projects. Now I'm not making excuses, so don't take it as that, ok? I just haven't felt that motivated to write as much lately, but I'll make one thing clear. This blog will not die off...


Serebii.net - Donphan Pokedex Entry

Overview:
Ok, today's little lesson on Pokemon will be directed at the most badass elephant you will ever know! Yeap, we got Donphan here! Now, Donphan is one of the (rare-to-be-good) pure Ground-Types, and he does his job extremely well, and is very well-rounded. Donphan is very slow (though the anime has always taught us otherwise), and his Special stats are both pretty abysmal.  Outside of that, he has a pretty decent HP stat, and his Attack and Defense are both very good! Basically, any physical attacker will have trouble with Donphan. Its movepool starts off slow, but eventually shine through to his great assets.


Base Stats:
HP - 90
Atk - 120
Def - 120
SpAtk - 60
SpDef - 60
Spd - 50

Movesets:
Donphan @ Leftovers

Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP, 188 Atk, 68 Def
Nature: Adamant
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Assurance
- Ice Shard/Stealth Rock

Donphan has the potential to be one of the most useful Rapid Spinners in the game! As one of the few Pokemon who viably use it, he can even excel in an OU environment. Donphan is a UU Pokemon, but is capable of walling and crushing a lot of common attacker of the OU environment. If used against a physical opponent, his job is set. Even the infamous Tyranitar, Scizor, and Metagross can't hit him hard enough to be a major threat. Earthquake is his strongest STAB (and if that wasn't obvious, learn about Pokemon!). Assurance halts the Spin-Blockers like Rotom-A super-effectively. Rapid Spin is the bane of a lot of common Pokemon, especially in OU. Donphan resists Stealth Rock, and can send it away easily. I couldn't decide between Ice Shard and Stealth Rock. With his ability to end SR on the other side, he can just as easily do it here too. Ice Shard gives more coverage, and gives priority that helps with his low Speed (especially since the Pokemon weak to it are likely Specially-oriented). Overall, it's up to you, so try it out~!




I will not actually go into a 5th Generation set here. The only real difference I can say (besides any combination of the above set's moves) is to use a Custap Berry. This will make any attack that brings it to low health (easy with Sturdy, as long as you don't get hit by Icicle Spear) cause Donphan to get a priority for its next attack. Using this, you can get in at least one more devastating attack to your enemy! Uhm... just watch out for Pranksters.. o3o"




Hope you guys had fun reading this, and I'll see you next time! So comment! 8U

Gute nacht! Ja ne, oyasumi! :3

Pokemon BW In-Game Information

Aaaaaaaand... Hey guys! I'm sorry for my lack of consistency in my posts, I've just been busy with other projects as well, and things are starting up soon.

As I've said before, I have started doing a Let's Play (video playthrough with commentary) on Pokemon White. I have recently gotten to receiving my 3rd Gym Badge of the game! Yay!

As I've told you guys, it's a semi-informational LP, so I tell important/hidden points in the game, as well as rundowns of each Pokemon and their stats/moves/pros/cons/whatever! If you guys are interested, I really hope you'd check it out, but it's up to you. I will be giving the information of the game as I go along, with some comedy of my fails mixed in~ |D Anyways, enjoy whatever your decision may be! :3 I have links below~


Here is the first episode of my Pokemon White LP:

Here is the latest episode of my Pokemon White LP:

So I hope you all have a good day, and I'll talk to you next time! :3 If you actively watch here, please comment with me~! X'3

Guten tag! Ja ne~! :3

Pokemon Rumble Blast, plus Info

Hey guys! As you know, Serebii's been keeping us updated with info on the recently announced Pokemon Rumble Blast, a new Nintendo 3DS title.

Yay~ 3 of my favorites~ :3

The other day, some more Passwords for the game were released, and this time, 2 of them have their full details! If I remember correctly, they are for Oshawott and Zoroark toys~ Along with this, more information has been released, including a full list of Pokemon Rumble Blast abilities!

So far the game looks like it will be a fun title, with even more added in to diversify it from its Pokemon predecessor, Pokemon Rumble for the Nintendo Wii's Wiiware. I hope to see this released here sooner!



------

As a side update, I have already ordered a capture card to record some of my games on, so I just need to wait for it to arrive here. Alongside any Let's Plays and things like that that I do, I may also record some Pokemon battles in my spare time... well, given I can find my Pokemon Battle Revolution... >>" I have no clue where it went! o3o" But that's beside the point.

I hope you guys enjoyed the update today, and sorry for not being able to bring in new material with my limited options here ^^;; I have to try and find a way to gather up and information network... Well, until then!

Ja ne~ Have a good day/night~! Bye! :3

Let's Play Pokemon White

Hey, guys! :3 I know it's been a few days since my last update, and I really don't like that (been really busy with other things... Specifically what I'm about to talk about). But anyway, I decided to bring in something with "extra content" for you all today! I hope you like this, so enjoy~

Starting today, I am officially a YouTube LPer! For those of you who don't know what an LPer is, it is a person who, through videos (that usually have live or post commentary of some sort), create episodes of themselves playing through an entire game! These usually are very informative about the game, as well as often funny~ If you're interested, I highly recommend you check out the YouTube Channels of NintendoCapriSun, chuggaaconroy, and lucahjin!

As of today, I have began to upload my own LP. My first Project is my informational and comedic run-through of Pokemon White Version. I will be showing much of the game, and I hope that you guys come to watch, and enjoy the work I do! :3

To reach my first video or my YouTube Channel, you can use the links below to find them! Please comment, rate, and subscribe if you like my work! I will be working daily to provide episodes along with better quality each time! Have a good day~~
