Pokemon's Generation 3 is a weird one for me. In hindsight, it was a great, important generation. Introduced abilities. Gave us the first true system leap as Pokemon bounded from the Gameboy to the Gameboy Advance. Introduced some new battle mechanics. But man... when it came out, I was just so "meh" to it. I...

Welcome back, chums! Last week, we looked at my ten favorite Pokemon from the original series of games, Red, Blue, and Yellow! We're moving on to Generation 2 this week to see who is the creme de la creme from the Gameboy Color era of Pokemon. I love Generation 2, and I had a copy... Continue Reading →
As it turns out, I am something of A Pokemon fan. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination. Video games are a part-time pastime for me, and if they get too convoluted or difficult, my interest wanes rapidly. That said, the amount of time I have put into Pokemon across its many formats has... Continue Reading →
Here's the thing about me... I am not much of a gamer. I LIKE video games; I PLAY video games damn frequently. But it's more that I'm not good at games, and because of that, I tire of individual titles easily. I also have a bad penchant for buying games and either NEVER playing them... Continue Reading →
Ah, so we’ve reached the end, my friends. My region-by-region review of the Pokemon franchise has pulled into its final destination, the Kalos region. How will it stack up against the rest of the series? First, let’s go to the recap: Region analysis is my attempt at judging each of the six Pokemon regions (Uh,... Continue Reading →
Welcome back, chums! Last weekend I offered forth a fictional story based on one of the creepier Pokedex extras from the realm of Pokemon, and here is a second such entry in that series. If you like these, let me know... I'll keep offering them up over time. One of them leaves his friends and... Continue Reading →
When last we reviewed a Pokemon region, I covered my absolute favorite region of all the times, Sinnoh. As I mentioned, I just loved Generation 4 on every level; Sinnoh was my favorite region because they just did everything so damn well, and then it had the remakes of the Johto era games, and I...

As before, let’s recap if you’re just joining us. I’m reviewing each Pokemon generation and region one-by one and measuring them against each other in seven categories. I’ve ranked each gen in each category, and am sharing the scores with you to determine how they rate. A score of 6/6 in any category means that the... Continue Reading →
This will come as no surprise to literally anyone who knows anything about me, but I play a LOT of Pokemon. I have essentially been playing Pokemon non-stop since 1998 or 1999. In one form or another, in one generation or another, I've been playing a lot of Pokemon for the last twenty-plus years. I... Continue Reading →
I have neither drank alcohol nor done a single type of extracurricular drug in my life. It's always weird to say that. At best, it comes off as some kind of elitist bragging. At worst, it's just an obnoxious statement signaling some kind of faux superiority. But there's a point here, so hang with me!... Continue Reading →
A little something different for you this entry. This isn't a blog or a list or any of my typical musings... this is a foray into fiction on my part. I am a writer, but of late, I find I don't have nearly the time I would like to devote to works of fiction. But... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the end of April! I hope you guys are ready for all of those May flowers! For more from April, click HERE. That's actually not fair. It hasn't rained much here at all. Due to our sewage issues, we recently had a chunk of our back yard dug up. We put down some... Continue Reading →
