AOTW: Serene Grace

Ladies, gentlemen, year two of PKMNCast has commenced, and with it, Ability of the Week #30. Let’s settle in. My favorite way to play Pokémon is rather juvenile, I’ll be the first to admit. I love stacking damage like a fiend, and there’s nothing better than scoring a one-hit knockout. But, my own personal preferences aside, there is definitely a case to be made for inflicting status ailments and doing it often. Well… maybe there’s a way that we can have both, and you know what they say about “where there’s a Wil!” This is Ability of the Week: Serene Grace!

In my experience, most Pokémon battles are lost because of one of these three things:1. Your team, while made up of good Pokémon, only works as isolated powerhouses, not as a functioning unit.

/Speaking of memory lane, I hope you all enjoyed the EPIC three part episode 050. Wondering how far we came? Well in December of 2010 we had about 177 Facebook Fans.

/Back in December, I posted a fact about anime episode 38, Electric Soldier Porygon, which was banned because it caused seizures. Well, if we go back three episodes to 35 we can find another banned episode.
The Legend of Dratini, was first broadcast on November 25th, 1997 in Japan, but was never broadcast in the the States, or most countries outside of Asia. This is due to the profanity and the use of firearms.

Sing it with me! "Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes! How do you measure a year in life?"
Wait, what? You're telling me this isn't the anniversary of the musical Rent? Crap. Let's start over.
It's been a year of PKMNCast. I figure that some other editors will celebrate this year in the podcast, so I thought that I would look at the best of the website itself over the year by presenting an article under each ongoing column on the site that is, at least in my opinion, the best.
The New Blueprint
/Thinking about everything that has happened, it honestly has brought tears to my eyes. There has been countless nights where I laid awake wondering if I should walk away from the site, to leave it as another failed project in life, to pursuit something else. I then wake up to "ping" and "cherps" from my iPhone and/or iMac letting me know I have e-mails. I read such things as:

/In January, I realized that I needed to find an easy way to keep up on Pokemon, news, events, etc. I drive about 30 mins each way to work and so I decided to search for a podcast. I typed Pokemon into iTunes and had a few podcasts to listen to. As I was searching I didn't find any that updated enough or were around long enough that I could be a "loyal" listener, except one.
