March 13, 2023 - Pokemon Violet Review
1. I don't remember what problems I had with some of the school teachers(I didn't like some of them in the beginning), but one of them, if you get real far in the game, will suggest that deities became some pokemon which I find appalling because the real God says, "You shall have no other gods before me."(Exodus 20:3) I don't really like taking classes there, and some of the choices you make didn't have the response I wanted to choose. There are questions that I know nothing about that weren't taught.
2. After going through all the main stories and doing other things, I finally decided to try the Home Economics
class since it was the last one for me. After its midterm I was extremely disappointed to find that they added a chore to the game.
Games should be a break from doing chores, and it made me not want to play the game anymore if my pokemon were going to get dirty.
Pokemon doesn't need to be realistic, and it shouldn't be creating gods. It should be fun.
3. I wasn't interested in doing the Team Starfall story to begin with, but it turned out okay.
4. Without internet access you can accidentally go to a place or a gymleader whose pokemon are way higher level than you, but I suppose
not knowing how high the gymleader's pokemon are, could have the same effect in past games.
5. It's nice how you can rename your pokemon, teach them past moves, and easily find out what TMs out of the ones you have that you can teach them in-game, without having to go anywhere or talk to anyone. The new TM machine in every pokemon center is fine too. It's also great how you have access to "boxes" all the time. I just miss having somewhere special to sell stuff for a higher price.
6. You can't train up certain stats (EVs) as easily as you could in Sword and Shield.
7. In the end, the majority of the storyline was great, but Sword was a better game because it didn't have all those negative things that I explained above (particularly 1 & 2).
Note: I never made a sandwich even though I'd probably prefer that to cooking.
Feb. 24, 2023 - Transgender
For those that identify with the word "transgender," we are really just a minority group of girls and boys, for 'girl' and 'boy' should
mean nothing else other than refer to a person of that gender. Otherwise, we can feel excluded from the words "boy" and "girl" as we may
not share the interests of the majority in the category we are supposed to be in (which is either 'boy' or 'girl'). There are really only
those 2 genders, but it would be nice to have separate "interest" categories instead of people trying to tie interests to gender.
The problem is that advertising companies and some tv shows/movies act as if all people of the same gender have the same interests.
Then, I live in a world where the people of my same gender expect me to share their interests, and they get angry at me when they find out
I don't. Then, there are other problems with people's presumptions. For me, I'm a girl who is NOT interested in jewelry, fashion,
clothes, shopping, romance, cooking, or dolls. I just wanted to play board games, card games, and video games with people and had some
trouble doing that originally because of my gender. However, I'm happy that there are some more diverse characters now.
March 4/May 2, 2022 - Pokemon Sword/Shield
Likes:
They made these Pokemon games more fun than in the past by giving everyone in your party varying amounts of experience for each battle, and
making it so that you can go see your boxes anywhere(once you get to a certain point). You can use your Pokemon for wild area
Dynamax battles from straight out of the box. Even without internet access, when clicking on "don't invite others," you are joined by
computer players for Dynamax battles in the wild area. I like how the Pokemon in wild area Dynamax battles don't immediately gain
experience and are all healed afterward. It's nice since you don't want your Pokemon to get too highly leveled up, when you don't have
enough gym badges. You also get many other items, can catch Pokemon, and can gather Watts to purchase TR moves. Some items give out
experience points to any Pokemon you choose when used. You can relearn moves for free. It's also nice that HMs aren't necessary.
I like Dynanax battles in the wild area the most, before you get 7 badges. I'm glad I can enjoy it without a Nintendo online membership,
since I, unfortunately, don't agree to their policy. I really like the story line.
Dislikes:
I wasn't looking forward to Gym battles as much as the old color versions, to challenges where you can't come and go as
you please, and to deciding when to Dynamax. I wished they would get rid of the level limit, but it's really not bad after the 3rd or 4th gym.
I wish there was no cooking aspect, but at least no one forces you to.
I might modify this later.
November 22, 2021 - Magi-Nation Review
Magi-Nation (2 seasons) is a very educational and entertaining show. There are dream creatures and relics that come from another
world called the Moonlands. Some from the Moonlands also have the ability to cast spells. One main character is a boy from Earth.
I like how you can learn things while watching.
In one episode it's good that the Weaveans change their mind about what or who gets credit for their success, but it should be God that they
give that credit to and not themselves. Other than that, I believe I like it more than Chaotic.
November 18, 2021 - Chaotic
(3 seasons) 79 episodes
Likes:
I like watching Chaotic more than Yu-gi-oh!. I think Chaotic uses cards in a better way, and sometimes they even fast forward through the
competition. It's nice how they change the pace between battling and going to Perim, so that it never gets boring. I may not like everything
that happens, but it is entertaining. I like how you can turn into creatures.
Dislikes:
It took me a while to get used to the animation, and then for season 2, I had to get used to the
animation all over again. Sometimes they don't show you everything that happens because the episode ends, but then they just talk about
what you saw later. As a Christian, I find a few events a little disturbing in regaurds to the Cothica which thankfully it turns out that
the tribes just don't know much about it. The problem is saying that the tribes worship or kind of worship the Cothica which if that were
true, they would be breaking the first commandment. The Cothica has to do with the origins of a world of monster-like creatures called
Perim, but the information about the Cothica may be speculation. I think it's probably best that there isn't more information on the
subject. I also may not be spelling it right (Kothika?) but oh well. I'm also not a fan of how they show creatures in Perim using mujic.
I've never had any Chaotic cards, assuming they made them.
November 17, 2021 - Kangaskhan
I assume in the video game that Kangaskhan looks the same whether it is level 1 or level 100, so the child Kangaskhan never grows up
except for the little bit that it Mega evolves into. I suppose it is supposed to be a Kangaroo Pokemon, where the child does nothing
unless it Mega evolves. I don't remember seeing how a 3d Kangaskhan attacks, but I think that's how it works. I think it's the only
Pokemon to contain two seperate beings that each have thier own set of arms and legs. Pokemon like Dugtrio, Binacle, and Slowbro are
also considered to be one each, and then there's the one body with multiple heads or faces Pokemon like Dodrio and Girafarig. I think
Kangaskhan is more on the normal side of things then they are, but is still unique.
September 17, 2021 - Pokemon anime plan
I'm making a new page titled Pokemon anime which will only spoil the story up to the end of Pokemon Sun and Moon Ultra Legends. I'll
update this post if that changes. I will list Pokemon and name more favorites, and you could add yours too.
However, please don't mention anything that goes beyond Sun and Moon Ultra Legends in your replies.
August 2021 - You can reply with your likes, dislikes, and/or favorites.
August 2021 - PR plan, card game
I'm going to list some of my likes and dislikes of each series of Power Rangers starting with the first and going to the most current.
I know that sometimes I like things that others dislike and I dislike things that others like.
I hope to remind people of some things that have happened. If you haven't seen it, I'm giving you a spoiler warning now.
See a link to the right titled "Power Rangers" for that.
Also, for those interested in the olympics or sports and have a mind for trading card games as well as the
ability to pay through PayPal or PayPal's guest check out, there's a new unique card game out with more information at that 2021 link to the upper right.
Athletes from different sports and olympic events compete with those within the same sport and a few animals in the game. There are other cards too.
August 2021 - Pokemon Fanlistings 1
While I have many favorite Pokemon out of the fanlistings I saw, I like Espeon and Lucario the best.
Lucario has his own movie and had significant appearances in Sinnoh, Kalos, and Alola. I like Lucario in all of them even though
they are different Lucario. Lucario is even in the Super Smash Bros. video games.
Espeon doesn't get as much air time, but it's one of the two Pokemon you start off with in Pokemon Colluseum. Espeon is definitely my
favorite of the Eevee evolutions. I like that Espeon reminds me of a cat when I look at it and is a cool color.
July 2021 - Yu-gi-oh!
Jesse is my favorite character of GX. I really liked that he had crystal beasts. Some of his crystal beasts helped me to enjoy the show.
I saw him from his entrance until he left for a long time. The show just became boring after he left, and I didn't see all of GX.
I always have liked how Seto valued Mokuba and how Mokuba admired him back. Unfortunately, their relationship wasn't perfect. I just wish
there was never any conflict between the two.
Jack Atlas is my favorite 5Ds character, especially during season 2 of 5Ds. I enjoyed season 2 of 5Ds more than GX.
Yu-gi-oh! is about seriously playing a card game with high stakes involved. Duels are playing cards which happens at least 90% of the
episodes.
I dislike the repetition of certain things during duels, and if one of my favorite characters isn't dueling, it can be a boring episode.
My favorite duels have Seto in them except for one Battle City Duel that involved anchors. I mainly just enjoy the story beyond that
with the exception of season 1 when dueling was new and I enjoyed the duels then.
July 2021 - Digimon
I'm a fan of Digimon Data Squad which is the English dub name for Digimon Savers. Both are season 5 of Digimon, so I assume liking Data
Squad makes me a fan of Savers. I don't think they would allow another fanlisting for just the dub name anyway. The only season 5 of
Digimon I've seen is under the name Digimon Data Squad.
I think the first 5 seasons are worth watching for people who like to keep track of a story line.
Seasons 1, 4, and 5 start off with new characters and story lines, so you can just jump straight into them without concern to the past.
Season 1 is key to fully understanding season 2, and without seeing season 1 and 2 first, you may not understand some things in season 3.
I didn't care for what I saw of season 6, Digimon Fusion, so I'm not interested in season 7 which is a continuation of season 6.
Adventure Tri's story was okay, but not great. One of the character designs seen in movie 5 and 6 was horrible, but I did like seeing the
new characters, Mako and Meicoomon(rookie level). Digimon the Movie was necessary, but not as good as the TV show. The end of season 2
was significantly better than the Last Evolution movie which is an alternate ending to season 2.
