Wow, I've not been on here for a long while. I apologize for that; hopefully the existing content has been amusing in some capacity to someone, somewhere. Well, the new Pokémon games came out today, and I've got to say that I am loving Alpha Sapphire! I've never had a Kyogre before, so I'm really looking forward to it. (Confession time: I never beat Ruby. So...end-game will be a whole new thing.) Because trainer customization wasn't brought back and because they changed May's appearance so that she's lost her neat bandana (replaced with a bow), I've decided to play as the male character, using my standard name for male Pokémon trainers, Remus. So, if you happen across Remus, his Mudkip, Yorick, and Poochyena, Aria, just know that I say hi. The odds of that happening are astronomical; but, still, I say hi.
I'm honestly really pleased that they brought back Contests. Pearl was my first Pokémon game, though I only really got into contests about two years after I first got it. I'm not a feminine person, and the idea of beauty pageants somewhat repulses me, but I liked exploring another aspect of the Pokémon world outside of battling. Additionally, I thought it was funny that the NPCs would enter their Pikachu, Clefairy, Mime Jr....and then there would be a Staraptor sitting there. And, that Staraptor eventually got to winning rather frequently! But, I digress. Now, I can participate in Contests and not have to wear a dress (swapping it out for a rather epic-looking jacket, from what I've seen in the art), and wear a hat that used to be mistaken for my character's hair. I must admit that I was one of the people who believed that...at least, for awhile.
See you in Hoenn!
