Yup, Still Alive

You might be like, will what the heck have you been doing? Okay, I've been focusing on Splatoon 3's Salmon Run because gosh that is so much fun. I've also been getting back at playing Eroge because eroges are awesome and are way better than gacha games and you can play whenever you want.

I even used Tenso to get the package version of Geminism!

Also I am trying to beat Shining Resonance (Switch), but the game is pretty bad and it is a pain to play, so I'm getting through really slowly. Yeah, it's bad. There isn't even a map.

Pokemon Crystal: Complete!

Phew, there goes one of the games I bought doing the ending of the 3DS EShop (though Pokemon Crystal wasn't discounted)

It definitely was refreshing to play an older game, but you can really feel the lack of flexibility in the movesets and all. No TM and Move-tutor-only Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt and evolution stones are not generally available until after you beat the Elite Four, so my Magneton was stuck using Thundershock for so long.

Anyways, continued after the Read More

Still Alive and Recently Playing

 Dang, it's already been half a year since my last post? I swear, once you reach a certain age, time just flies by...

A few more images than usual, so gonna add a jump break and put this on a separate page.

Pokemon Violet: Completed and Thoughts!

 Of course, this is Pokemon, so there isn't really an "end", with all the Pokemon catching and raising and all. But I've completed the story and caught the legendaries and I've seen the substories as well, so I just wanted to give my thoughts on the game.

Honestly not too sure what type of screenshot to use, since I missed the opportunity to take a picture of the ending credits, so I'm gonna leave it imageless this time.

Currently in Middle of Playing Pokemon Violet!

It's been 3 months since my last post, so I just wanted to note I am currently playing the new Pokemon. Haven't finished the story yet, since I also enjoy watching other people play and stuff, but I think I have my final party ready. Golduck just because he is the only Shiny I have found so far.

Also, man, I got the pantyhose but really wish there were cuter options for the rest. It's obvious from the other characters in the game that not wearing the default school uniform is allowed.

Xenoblade 3: Finished and Thoughts

Phew, it took 90 hours (obviously did a lot of exploring and side quests, though not all of them), but I finally finished the story for Xenoblade 3. So yeah, a got a lot to say about what I thought about the game.
 

Before I get started, I just want to warn that I am gonna be fairly negative. But wait, wait. Don't do the whole "Ohhh, you're a hater, so nothing you say counts" crap. You know how much I looked forward to Xenoblade 3, and unlike most of you, I have even played Xenoblade X.

And of course, plenty of spoilers. Not gonna shy on that.

Pokemon Green (JP) Complete!

 I don't think I really need to say anything about such an old game, but it was fun to play in all of its broken balance glory. For instance, healing a burned Pokemon does not reverse the Atk reduction.

And one glitch I encountered way too often was the "Accuracy 100% move occasionally misses"

But overall, a refreshing, fun game. Also the first time in my life I caught Tauros or Kangaskhan in the Safari Zone, so cool there too. Really wanted to do the whole Tauros Hyper Beam spamming that was famous in Gen 1.

Gameplay time from Start to Beating Elite Four was 17+ hours. Didn't level grind, though the game is pretty easy with even the hardest enemies having bad move sets and stuff. I was 15+ levels lower than the opponent by the time I got to the final Rival battle.

Also, the Item Box is waaaay too small in this Gen. If you don't use the TMs, both the box and your pouch will be full by end game.
