Pokemon Sun and Moon Details.

Details about the newest Pokemon games have been announced. And just like we assumed, the names are Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. Other than a release time, being holiday 2016, there wasn’t much else announced. Nintendo did announce that you will be able to transfer Pokemon from Red, Blue and Yellow version of the game from the virtual console using the Pokebank. Time to get that Mew and Mewtwo into the newest game and teach them how much Pokemon has finally changed. If you have the time, I suggest you watch the announcement trailer down below.

 

With nothing else really announced, we are left to speculate legendary Pokemon names and designs and world designs. I always find myself kicking myself in the butt for having sold my 3DS in the past and might find myself buying another one just to play these games. Let’s see what happens. If you happened to miss the live stream, you can catch it down below. it is a little over a half an hour so you don’t have to dedicate major time to it.

And don’t forget. The Pokemon hype doesn’t stop here. The official Pokemon twitch channel will continue the hype on Saturday by live streaming Pokemon game play and discussing it’s influence on pop culture. I might be mistaken, but I want to say that there will also be a 24 hour live stream of the Pokemon Tv show. Check out the live stream tomorrow.

Spoiler Alert: Kono Subarashi Episode 1

Walking into Kono Subarashi Sekai ni shukufuku wo, or as I am going to be calling it from now on Kono, I had no idea what to expect from it. All I knew about it is what I wrote in my Winter anime to watch out for. As far as I know, this could have been just like Sushi Police, but we don’t talk about Sushi Police.

We open up on a young man named Kazuma Satou. He is our resident shut in for the show. All he likes to do is sits inside, play video games and watches anime. Sounds like a couple of people I know. One day, he decides to go out and pick up a new game that is releasing that night. As any die hard fan of a video game, he goes to the midnight release. When he gets back, it is the morning. While walking home from the bus, he see’s one of his classmates walking by. He turns back to double check if he knew her and there he see’s it. A truck driving down the street about to hit her. Without hesitating, he jumps out and pushes her out of the way of then truck. Unfortunately, he ends up losing his life, and that is where this anime gets interesting. He is dead, and he meets with this goddess informing him that his death was in vain. It was only a tractor that was moving slowly. He just overreacted because he never goes outside.

so the goddess, who’s name is Aqua, is telling him that if he can go to this other world and defeat the Devil king’s army, he can go back to the living world, and they will grand him anything he wants in the world. But, good for Kazuma, the gods are not going to send him to fight the devil king’s army empty handed. Aqua tells them they will give him one thing to take with him, and it can be anything he wants. While he is looking at the most common requests, Aqua is sitting there eating chips telling him that he should hurry up and pick something. Since she is being such a jerk to him, he decides that he is going to use this request to his advantage. Kazuma says that he wants to take aqua with him. Down comes another goddess telling that it is ok to take her with you. And off they go.

Once they get to the world, Kazuma’s gamer instincts kick in. The first thing they go do is try to join the local guild. Only problem is that they can’t afford the registration fee. Brick wall number one. After talking to some old man in the guild, Aqua got the registration fee. Both of them are now registered. Kazuma as a merchant and Aqua as an Arch Priest which is one of the higher classes. And with that, this anime begins. Cue the montage of working and bonding with guild mates. Right at the end of the episode, they realize why they are there. They were having such a good time bonding with everyone and doing work, they forgot they are supposed to be fighting the Devil kings army. Right then, they vow to do a kill quest the next episode.

Kono Subarashi is one of those anime I wish was a video game. So far from the first episode, it seems to be funny and sounds like the story line is thought out well enough to stand on its own. The first episode left a good taste in my mouth. I’ll continue to watch it and review it so keep coming back if you want to know my thoughts. 7.5/10

POKEMON URANIUM Now In Beta.

 

My biggest gaming guilty pleasure is Pokemon. I picked up Pokemon Omega Ruby the week it came out, and I always love checking out independent Pokemon projects (When they aren’t shut down by Nintendo). When I first heard the news about Pokemon Uranium, I just had to check it out. The guys over at PokemonUranium.com have been working on a new pokemon for the past 6 years. Pokemon Uranium is made with RPG Maker XP. It is 100% free to play and I totally recommend playing it. Right now there are 7 gyms, 12 towns, 6 optional side quests, and over 130 different kink of Pokemon. It also contains virtual trainers, global trade system, wonder trade, mystery gifts and a Nuzlocke mode, but most importantly, it allows multiple saves. About time, am I right? Are you paying attention Nintendo?

Pokemon Uranium is set in the Tandor Region, a tropical region that is based on real-life places such as Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Venice, and more. The Tandor landscape has many completely unique areas that set it apart from any existing Pokemon game, ranging from the sprawling Baykal Rainforest to the sandy Tandor Sheets to the deep-sea lava vents. Each area of Tandor is home to all-new kinds of Pokemon!

Nuclear Type

Radiation seeping from nuclear power plants has unlocked a destructive new power in Nuclear Pokemon, a new element that is spreading across the Tandor region like a virus. Nuclear-type Pokemon are feral, corrupt versions of ordinary Pokemon, who won’t listen to a trainer but will attack anything in sight with destructive force. The only way to beat them is to attack them fast and quickly, because Nuclear-type is unstable: in exchange for being super-effective on every other type, it is also weak to every other type.
