Drawn to life...

Ah yes, drawn to life. one of my personal favourite DS games. of course, im not talking about the spongebob one... because that never existed...
im talking about the original drawn to life game, a game that promised the ability to CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER

THE STORY: so the story of the original drawn to life game is simple at first. a small village inhabited by creatures known as the raposa is slowly being consumeb by darkness. the only hope left in the village lies with Mari, the only raposa who still believes in the Creator, the raposa's deity. The creator recognises Mari's faith and so creates a hero that will bring the village out of the darkness.
 
Heres where you come in. The game makes you do two things. Draw, and platform.
whilst drawing, you are basically given creative freedom on what you draw. however, you are prompted to draw what youve been told to and sometimes are given a template to stick to.
When creating your character you can either use a guide or create a character from scratch. because my drawing skills on the DS are not amazing, i went with using a guide and changing up the colours.
WE'VE ALL DONE IT! 

Gameplay: other than drawing, this game makes you platform. now, while its not a hardcore platformer like supermario bros or super meat boy, it can still present a challenge as you can spend ages looking for that last component to finish a level.
that reminds me, to finish a level, you must do three things. 
1- clear all of the darkness from the stage (rub with stlus)
2- rescue all the raposa in the stage
3-find the pages of the book of life
the last of these three can be troublesome.

Finally, The game contains incredibly catchy musci that you will find yourself huming along to. ah yes. how can we forget that catchy boss music.
the only downside is that the boss music is used for three of the four main bosses in the gmae, just played with different soundboards.

so yeah, PLAY THIS GAME CAUSE ITS AMAZING... in my opinion
 

Pokemon and its weirdness

Admittedly, Pokemon is a weird game, I mean, the concept is sending a young kid out into the wild with no food, no water and only a little animal to protect him. In top of that, these kids are encouraged to make their little animals fight. Not only that, but these kids will stand still in one spot for days and days. Some of them are so cruel that they refuse to take their Pokemon to the Pokemon centres. They just stand there...motionless. So, aside from that, these trainers are a bit weird. At one point, I was derping along and a trainer challenged me to an intense battle, but not before stating "I like shorts!" Did I really need to know that? Did I really? Another time, a trainer said "I'm a cool guy! I have a girlfriend!" My respect for the man was instantly raised. Back to the shorts; a kid said "You're not wearing shorts! What's wrong with you?" I don't know. I just don't know. 
Trainers also ask for your phone number which you MUST give them. They continue to call you with information that "I lost a battle" or "My Rattata is really strong" My Moltres is trembling, trust me. 

Out of everything in the Pokemon universe, the strangest would have to be Gary Oak. For one, that might not even be his name. At the start of the game, Professor Oak comes to you and says "Here's my grandson! Errm, what's his name again?" Gee, that would suck. Your own grandfather not remembering your name. Also, he has no parents, only his sister. When he becomes Pokemon Champion, nobody cares and when you beat him, his Grandfather comes to congratulate you. Sadness!


Clearly, Pokemon takes place in a post war world. Face it, there are orphans everywhere (you and gary) and no places of entertainment, just gyms and hospitals. Kids train at the age of ten to fight and LT Surge (the third gym leader) says electric Pokemon saved him in the war. Lest we forget the brave soldiers and Pokemon who died for their country.
