Terfle's Thoughts: Black and White

Recently I bought a copy of the game Pokemon White. Though i am not even close to the league yet, I have already noticed some interesting things in the game. Something that hits you straight away, and then again when you reach Castelia city, is the graphics. Every time they release a new pokemon game everyone says 'wow the graphics are amazing' but this time is significantly different. The great 3d effects and the way the camera moves when you walk through some places is a massive step up from the way that the previous games were. As usual the menus and format of the game improved, though unfortunately like when diamond and pearl were released you cant trade over your pokemon, you have to migrate them. Migration is like trading except one person gives a pokemon to the other and can never get it back, sadly migration is permanent. The battle system changed dramatically, the camera now moves with the battle making the experience more captivating, also the sprites are now animated. They no longer stay still, they move, blink and do various other thing depending on what pokemon you use. These features, along with the camera movement, make the battles far far more seamless. They have also brought in triple battles and rotation battles, things that i haven't done enough of to develop an opinion on. As usual the storyline is a little pushy and linear, unfortunately this time you dont get to name your rival, just yourself. The new region comes with 155 new pokemon, in my opinion, quite a lot of ice and dark types. There are some that I like, for instance duosion, a psychic type. I'm not sure wheather or not it is just me but my one seems to have a higher sp. attack than health stat. TMs have now become reusable, something that I have wanted for a long time. I found it really annoying that there were some TMs that you only found once, then could never get back. The down side of this is that the price for TMs has sky rocketed. TMs that just change the weather now cost 50k. I still haven't gotten that far so it is likely that I will be making another of these before I am finished with pokemon white.

5th Gen pokemon Bio: Oshawott

the third and final starter pokemon of the Unova region is Oshawott.
Oshawott is the Water type pokemon of the three starters and has an abova average SP ATTACK, which makes this a pokemon for trainers who like big explosions/canon blasts/other.
However, Oshawott lacks special defense and speed in its baisic form. when fully evolved as Samurott however, its defense and speed are still low but it makes up for it with an astonishingly high level SP ATTACK and ATTACK. making Samurott a good pokemon for taking down opponents with a single attack. (I reccomend teaching it hydropump at Lv 62).

Terfle's Final Submission

Well here it is, my final submission for the Picture comp I started, I know that it technically goes on for another 3 days but I thought that I might as well upload now and save my self the trouble when I inevitably forget to submit. So, here it is a picture of Cloud and Sephiroth, two of the most epic characters there are. Lets see you beat that Dr.NicK.

Super Smash Bros Brawl/Melee comparison: Lucario vs Mewtwo

In the gamecube version of Super Smash Bros, Lucario wasn't around at the time, instead they had one of the most recognizable Pokemon around to replace him, Mewtwo. Back then, if you caught Mewtwo, everyone would be gathering around your Game Boy just to see what level he was. But those good old days are long gone now, so, in Brawl the 4th gen Pokemon Lucario has stepped in and actually has a lot in common with his Melee predecessor. For starters, Lucario has aura sphere as his standard "B" move. You charge it up and then you can choose to release it straight away, or you can use it more effectively carry it around with you and wait until the time is right ti unleash it. This is virtually symmetrical to Mewtwo's shadow ball attack. His up "B" attack is also extremely similar. It is extremespeed, his recovery move, but unlike most other recovery moves his does not do any damage. You merely control where it takes you. This was also what Mewtwo's recovery move, teleport, did, even though extremespeed is easier to control. Their side "B" attacks are completely different, Lucario's side "B" sees him grabbing his enemy and punching them. The move is called force palm, as seen in the game. It's quite powerful, much more so than Mewtwo's side "B" where he flips them. But out of all of Lucario's great move set, one stands out. His down "B" double team is a counter move. Much like Marth and Ike (and Roy in Melee) is reflects the damage of any attacks performed, but only if you time it just right. Mewtwo did not have this move. He has the disable attack. While it did not do much damage, they did send you flying. Using disable once would give them a few seconds of shield break, as second disable would send them flying.

The two of them seem to be on the power side of the roster, although the do jump high and fall slowly. Lucario has much better mid-air attacks than Mewtwo though. Their smash attacks are super strong.

So who's better?

5th Generation Pokemon Bio: Snivy

The last time I did one of these, I focused on the fire type starter pokemon of the 5th generation, Tepig. This time around, I will be doing a bio of Snivy.
being the grass type starter pokemon, many people expected snivy to be slow. This is not the case.
Like it's predesecor, Treeko, Snivy has the highest speed of the three starters. with a starting speed stat of 65. and has stats that are far move varied than Tepig's. When Evolved, Snivy/servine/serpireor follows the path of treecko/grovyle/sceptile as it gets faster with evolution.(with serperior's speed being an above average 113 and Sceptile's being at120). This pokemon is a must get for trainers who prefer their pokeon to attack first and not need to worry about damage.

Playing Wii with Terfle and Rocky.

Terfle came round to my palace today. We did what we normally do, play Wii. New Super Mario Bros Wii to be exact. Since both of us have already finished the game, all that we have left to do is collect all the star coins and conquer world 9. We attempted to get the world 3 star coins.Unfortunately, this was easier said than done. We unwittingly stumbled across a level which was easy enough to complete, but getting the star coin was a totally different story. With Mario, you and your teammate have to work together and be in agreement of who is going to pick up what power up and tactics like the super ground pound. Terfle and I were nowhere near as helpful to one another. We just couldn't resist stealing items and sending each other to our doom. Finally, we made a truce. But even so, it was extremely difficult to get the star coin. We started to give up hope, until we realised there was a way. Muting the volume of the TV, we played the theme from Rocky blaring as loud as it would go. It worked (obviously) so we could move on and complete more levels.
After a break, we continued with SSBB for a while. We went up against a level 9 Marth and a level 9 Samus as Mario and Lucas (guess who was who) 
Victory came swiftly, but before we could have another match, Terfle received word that a princess had been captured and decided that it was his duty to save her. I wasn't quite so heroic. But this post will be the last one I make for 9 days, because I am taking a small trip. Don't worry our near 1000 viewers, I will be back and this time, I will have enough power to defeat Ganondorf once and for all.
