Woke Up Early To Get My Pokemon White!!!

You heard me.

It's 6 am and I am up and at-em.

A GameStop only four miles away from me is having a 9 a.m. opening for B/W.

So I'm gonna get there at about 8:30 a.m., and wait there.

Now I didn't pre-order the game so I am a little scared.

But I am hoping that if I get there early enough, I will be able to get it.

Also, I want White, and in Japan, Black sold 99,000 more copies than White, so I hope White won't be sold out.

__

I will try to blog later after I (hopefully) get the game.

I will also update my status in White nearly everyday until I beat it (which could be today :shock:).

__

How to pass the time!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

UGH!!!!

I ONLY SLEPT 5 HOURS LAST NITE I WUZ SO EXCITED.

My NCAAB Top 25 - 2/28/11

So this is something I will be doing for now on, my top 25 in College Basketball. I will also do this when College Football season comes around.

__

Official Poll.

__

1. Kansas - They have been deserving all year, with the Morris brothers and others like Selby, this team can't be stopped.

2. Ohio State - This team just showed me yesterday against Indiana that they aren't ALL Jared Sullinger... just mostly. But with only two points from him in the first half, they were already well on their way for a route. (BTW: I HATE OSU)

3. Duke - They might have the most stars and future NBA stars. Singler, Smith, Irving, Plumlee, Curry, etc., can easily cut down the nets. (BTW: I HATE DUKE)

4. Brigham Young - All I can say is this: IT'S JIMMER-MANIA!!!

5. Texas - A very well-rounded team, maybe even the most in the country. They play solid offense and defense, and have a very good chemistry too.

6. Notre Dame - Surviving in the Big East is NEVER easy, and as I am writing this, Notre Dame is beating a currently ranked team by around 30 points. Wow.

7. Pittsburgh - Again, surviving the Big East is NEVER easy, but even though they may have 1 or 2 more quality wins than Notre Dame, Notre Dame did win their only head-to-head matchup. In addition, they also lost their previous game.

8. Purdue - JuJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore are unstoppable, and with two recent wins against Wisconsin and Ohio State, they need to be high up.

9. Wisconsin - They are the most efficent team in the country (like actually), they commit around one turnover per game, and have only allowed 70 points once all year (letting up 70 to Purdue in a loss). But I can't rank them ahead of Purdue, even though they beat both Ohio State and Purdue at home, compared to losing their most recent matchup versus Purdue (on the road). (BTW: I LOVE THIS TEAM)

10. Lousiville - A pretty good team, but not incredible. but with recent wins against Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and Syracuse, you can never count out a Rick Pitino team.

11. North Carolina - After being ranked so high, and falling so hard, they have pulled their act together. Harrison Barnes (their freshman-feenom), finally developed like they thought he would, and Zeller and Henson are still playing great. Even with Larry Drew II quitting the team, UNC still prevails. (BTW: I LOVE THIS TEAM)

12. St. John's - This might be a little bit of a shock, as they were #25 last week, and moved up to #15 this week. But the most wins for a team against ranked opponents is 6, and St. John's currently holds that title. Knocking off Georgetown, Notre Dame, Duke, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, and Villanova; watch out for St. John's.

13. Syracuse - Knocking off two extremely talented teams in a row in Villanova and Georgetown, Syracuse is a scary team to play for all.

14. San Diego State - Maybe THE MOST OVERRATED team in the country. They have one of the weakest schedules I have ever seen, and the two tough games they played (both against BYU), they lost by over 10 points. However, unlike every other team in the nation, they have not slipped up against an unranked team.

15. Florida - The best team in what I think is the weakest AQ division. They did beat the other two good teams in that division in Kentucky and Vanderbilt, but they recently lost to Kentucky also, and have a VERY bad loss to Jacksonville.

16. Connecticut

17. Georgetown

18. Arizona

19. Kentucky

20. Villanova

21. Vanderbilt

22. Missouri

23. Utah State

24. Texas A&M

25. Kansas State

__

When I do this in the future, I will explain for 1-10, but I just had to say that I love UNC, and I have them at #11, so I decided to go to #15

Pre-Ordered A 3DS!!! Now What Games To Buy.... Nintendogs + Cats?

So yesterday I went to GameStop, I went to buy The Sims 3 as a gift for my sister (hopefully she'll let me play :D).

I also got my Celebi. Let me say: IT'S AWESOME. I love it. It came at level 50, but only one attack, every other move does not do damage. But that is fine. Anyway, I'm only going to be using it in Pokemon White.

__

Now I also pre-ordered my 3DS, which means... I didn't pre-order my Pokemon White. :), :(, :|.

I think I should be happy but I don't know. Well I will get my Pokemon White on March 13th, instead of getting Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition.

This will still get me Victini so I am happy :).

__

Now back to the 3DS. So I pre-ordered it.

Then when I got home, I studied it for HOURS. I watched the TOTS of the Japanese release, and the demos of all the games.

I have to say, so far Nintendogs + Cats is what has interested me the most.

Well I am sharing this system with my sister (:(), so she is buying her own Nintendogs + Cats. Now I don't know if I should get my own because it is really hard to share that type of game, or if I should get Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, or maybe even the new Super Monkey Ball.

I never actually played a Street Fighter game besides a little bit on the arcade so I don't know what to do. It seemed cool, but not incredible. Also, I like Super Monkey Ball, I've never been a huge fan, but it's a good series. This addition seems pretty cool, and the additions of modes like Monkey Fight and Monkey Kart are really cool.

What do you guys think?

BTW: I really enjoyed all of the previous entries to the Nintendogs series, and this one looks magnificent.

Pokemon Black + White Starters: Who To Choose

So with the highly anticipated release of Pokemon Black and White just over a week away (I think 8 days), I decided to go around to rant on the starters and who to choose.

First of all here are the starters:

Tepig (fire, but second and final evolutions are fire/fighting)

Snivy (grass)

Oshwott (water)

Now for some background history on me and Pokemon starters:

Fire, fire, and fire. I just about ALWAYS choose a fire starter. However, my favorite starter is Mudkip, the water starter from Hoenn. Now I did ORIGNALLY start with Torchic in Hoenn, but after playing this region about 5 times, I decided to try Mudkip. Now I am on about my 30th or so run-through of Hoenn, and I am still proudly using my Mudkip (now level 23 Marshtomp).

Besides Mudkip being my favorite, there was also some strategy involved.

After I have memorized Hoenn (which I have with every region, just Hoenn the most because I always restart to try to make the best possible combination of Pokemon and then migrate them), I figured out what Pokemon were easiest and hardest to find. I figured that if I wanted a good fire Pokemon, I would get a Numel. However I would have to wait until after I beat the 3rd gym. That is fine though, because I don't need a fire Pokemon really until late in the game. So that is why I didn't choose Torchic. Next, I don't like grass Pokemon, at all, so I decide that I can get a grass Pokemon whenever I want, so I didn't want Treeko. Next, it takes a really long time to get a good water Pokemon, so I decided I needed one right away.

The rest of my team is Mighteyena (Dark), Kirlia (Psychic), Tailow (Flying), Numel (Fire/Ground), and Breloom (Grass/Fighting).

Also for Breloom, it is one of the two good non-starter grass Pokemon in Hoenn (along with Tropius), so I decided that I want Breloom more than Treeko and Torchic because it covers grass for Treeko, and fighting for Torchic, and then Numel covers the fire part of Torchic, along with an added extra of ground.

So that is why I chose Mudkip.

Now for Unova. I when I listed the starters, I listed them in order from my favorite to least favorite (Tepig, then Snivy, then Oshwott). Now I don't know the exact storyline of Black and White but I know the Pokemon. But I think I don't actually want Tepig, because of 2 reasons. 1: The main reason, Victini. The INCREDIBLE fire and psychic Pokemon. So I don't need a fire Pokemon. Then there are some good fighting Pokemon, such as Timburr, Throh, and Sawk. Next, I don't like Oshwott, but there are like no good water Pokemon, and there are a few grass. I will take Pansage for a grass Pokemon at first, then I could move on to a Sewaddle, but I don't think I will. I might move onto a Cottonee or a Petil, but I don't know. I could eventually go to a Ferroseed, but I don't know. Then, if I choose Snivy, I could take Panour or Tympole. But I don't like them. I like Tirtouga, but that is it.

In total, I don't need good grass Pokemon in the long run and there is Victini, so I will choose my precious little Oshwott.

What are your guys stories with starters? Who will you take in Black and White?

Third Game Completed In 2011: Sonic Colors (DS) + My Sonic Colors (DS) Review

January 18 - Plants vs. Zombies (iPhone)

February 9 - Portal (XBOX 360)

February 24 - Sonic Colors (DS)

__

I finally completed Sonic Colors (DS) after taking multiple breaks from the game.

I'm not going to really discuss the game here, because I just wrote my review of Sonic Colors (DS).

__

I now am trying to write more reviews, and more reviews of higher quality.

I think my reviews will also be better if I write them as I am or right after I have finished the game, so that is what I am trying to do for now on.

__

Sorry for the short blog, but I am on vacation and don't have much time to blog.

Training Again In My SoulSilver In Preparation For Black/White + Battle Anyone?

So I hope you all can read and comprehend the topic of my blog. It's really not hard. :roll:.

So basically I'm training my Pokemon in my SoulSilver again, as the release date for Pokemon Black/White in less than 2 weeks.

My party as of now is the following:

Espeon lv. 54 (my favorite Pokemon ever so it must be in my party)

Ampharos lv. 56

Lucario lv. 100

Charizard lv. 77

(Shiny/Red) Gyarados lv. 52

Dragonite lv. 75

Now I just took some Pokemon I like that I think are very good, and am trying to train them together. I am open for OPINONS and BATTLES. Also, this team is without legends as you can see, so if anyone wants a battle with legends just tell me.

In my other games, I also have A LOT of really good Pokemon, especially in my Diamond that I could trade over, or you could battle my Diamond (as I already have tons of level 100s). PM me and I will give you my friend code.

Got Final Fantasy VII (PSP) + The Game I Have Played The Most Ever... By FAR

So I'll start out with Final Fantasy VII. This was the cla$$ic PS one game I decided to get. I just couldn't stand not getting it, so i got it :shock:. Now I really got this game on... February 17, but did not get to play it until the 18th. But let me tell you, this game is great.

I've played it for just about 6 hours so far (:roll:), and I am going to go play some more after this blog. I am currently in the Shrina Building 64th floor (let me say that walking up the stairs if you choose to do what I did takes FOREVER!!!). Right now, my team is Cloud level 14, Tifa level 13, and Barret level 12, and I have used Aeris but I currently have to rescue her (I think she is level 12 or 13).

This game is a completely different than Final Fantasy I. The main difference is definitely that this game is in 3-D. Also, the story line improves so much (FFI's is okay, as FFVII's is INCREDIBLE). Basing the story around main characters instead of four characters you choose was very important to me.

I can really see how this changed RPGs forever.

__

So right now I am on vacation, and I was deciding what DS games to bring. I said: SoulSilver, Kirby, Sonic, Mario, Zelda, hmmmmm. I was stuck. I checked out Platinum. I had around 160 hours. Wow. Then I said to myself: Wait, I remember playing Diamond non-stop. So I just checked it out. 595:45. WOW :o.

I know think that I was an addict to that game, but it was so great so I had a right to be. :|.

__

Well I am going to be on vacation until Friday (the 25th), so I think I can get pretty far in Final Fantasy VII, but as of right now, I am about 1/6 of the way through the game.
