Why I Bother and A Thought From My Brother

Pre-releases have wrapped up and I am proud to say I had the best record I’ve ever had. I played two events going 4-1 and then 5-0. If only there was more prize support for the pre-releases. There are two things that I really would like to address, things I’ve learned from these two prereleases. The first is what benefits do pre-releases provide and the second is “Vinnie, when did you get good at Pokemon?”

After the second pre-release wrapped up the Whimsy Tackle crew was sitting around playing some casual games when the question was raised what’s the point of paying for this? I believe the exact argument was “I could buy two Reggigas EX for what I’m paying to play”.  Granted this is true but lets see what the pre-release experience can give you that those Reggigas EX cannot.

Happy Birthday Mewtwo!

Just wanted to stop for a second and give Mewtwo a proper birthday shout out! I hope all of you can take some time today to celebrate the day that Mew gave birth to one of the most popular Pokémon known to date. While your eating your cake and remembering your fond memories of how you wasted your Masterball before you got to Mewtwo in Red/Blue - remember... Mewtwo will always be somewhere in your heart... or just a free download off Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection.

Saturday Sketch

 

Welcome to the first Saturday Sketch of February!

Can you believe it’s February already?

 

For the first Saturday of February I bring you a pretty sweet painting of the Pokémon Arcanine.

Well a digital panting at that but it’s still pretty awesome.

 

The artist, whom can be found on deviantART, goes by the username ~CrystalCeo

However according to a Journal they posted back in June of 2011, they moved to another account. That account’s name is ~Lumini  

 

 I enjoy this artists painting style works, they are very interesting and nice to admire and look at.

 

So that’s it this week for Satuday Sketch!

 

 

On a Un-Pokémon related notes If anyone cares about the NFL Super Bowl tomorrow, please enjoy watching it. It’s a fun day to celebrate a Super Bowl Party and if you bought some Squares for a Pool, good luck to you!

AOTW Rapid-Fire!! Big Pecks, Flare Boost, and Natural Cure

Line ‘em up, boys and girls, because I’m back this week to pick off three easy targets in quick succession. If you’re just joining us, one of the trickiest parts of writing an engaging exposé entailing the explicit elements of individual Abilities is finding a way to stretch the simpler ones into decent-length articles. Also, the frequent trips to thesaurus.com to find alternate words for my amusing runs of alliteration. When the easy Abilities start to pile up, there’s just one thing to do, and here it comes. This is Ability of the Week: Rapid-Fire!! Big Pecks, Flare Boost, and Natural Cure!
