Super Mario Galaxy, and some Pokemon stuff


I went to Toys 'R Us today and picked up Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. I don't own many Wii games, but apparently this one is a must have. Normally, I don't buy games at full price, I usually wait for them to drop in price first. However, Toys 'R Us was giving out $25 gift cards with the purchase of Super Mario Galaxy, and that was enough incentive. They had tons of copies, there was no line to wait in, and I was surprised because I thought a Mario game would garner a larger crowd. Anyway, I have it now, and I'll get to playing it soon. I actually went to Toys 'R Us Tuesday to try to pick the game up, but it hadn't come in yet. While I was there, I didn't want to walk out with nothing, so bought a starter deck of Pokémon trading card game cards. I saw the Diamond & Pearl 'Royal Frost' deck, and I had to get it because it had Empoleon in it. I would have preferred Torterra, but hey, I'll take what I can get. Speaking of Pokémon, I bought Pokémon Pearl when it first came out, but only played until the first gym. Recently, my girlfriend got me back into the game; she's pretty big on the Pokémon games herself. So I've been playing for hours on end, I have over 40+ in the game so far. I'm at the battle on Mt. Coronet with Team Galactic and Legendary Pokémon Palkia. But yeah, I bought a deck of Pokémon cards, mostly on a whim. Seeing it, my five-year-old nephew wanted a deck, so my parents picked up another two decks--one for each of us--from Target (Diamond & Pearl: Secret Wonders 'Powerhouse' and 'Lavaflow' themed starter decks if you must know, I took 'Lavaflow' for myself because it had Venusaur in it). In addition to getting the aforementioned Super Mario Galaxy from Toys 'R Us today, my nephew got a second deck of Pokémon cards, the EX: Power Keepers 'Dark Blast' starter. Four starter decks, sixty cards each, in three days. I think we're off to a good start, but mostly I'd like to play with my girlfriend, as she likes both Pokémon and card games. What could be better than combining the two?
