Too Much Awesome

I’m a big Pokemon fan and have been ever since my cousin let me borrow Blue Version and told me to play. I was as hooked as a kid could be, and to some extent I still am. This extended from the games to the toys, as well as the anime, and eventually it settled [...]

If there’s one thing I love, it’s Pokemon. The series, despite doing its best to stagnate, is just as good as it’s always been. However, there’s one place that it’s still lacking entirely: A real Pokemon game on a major console rather than a handheld. We’ve got a few tries, such as Pokemon Stadium 1 [...]

I have to say that in the last year, I have probably watched more anime than I have my entire life. Since I graduated last summer, I finished Samurai 7 (Awesome), Vandred (Annoying main character, but good story), Shikabane Hime (pretty good), Claymore (REALLY good), Girls Bravo (Dumb, but cute), all current 505 episodes of [...]

Today, we talk about one my greatest guilty pleasures growing up. The Pokemon Trading Card Game, and some of the stratigies I found most appealing.

I love Pokemon. The more I play, the more I find I enjoy it. But playing through White Version (yes, I’m linking back to that review again) has me seeing the real limitations of the series, not from a gameplay standpoint or a graphical or sound quality perspective, but rather from the world of Pokemon [...]

Seeing as how the Nintendo 3DS comes out on Sunday here in the US, it’s been on my mind pretty heavily. I had the chance to head out to a local Best Buy and try out the demo copy with Pilotwings Resort, marking the first and thus far only experience I’ve had with the 3DS’s [...]

Am I a Pokemon Master? The answer is an emphatic “Yes.” I have done my fair share of battling, training, and evolving over the years, all working toward a greater understanding of the fine art that is Pokemon. If you allow yourself, you can easily get swallowed up in the incredible depth the series has [...]

Well well, Pokemon has officially reached its fifth generation. After so much reminiscing about Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers, as if I needed something else to remind me of how old I’m getting. Anyway, in the spirit of the event, I wanted to take a look back and revisit the animated series that was based [...]

Hey Pokefans out there, it’s the greatest week of the year: The week a new Pokemon game arrives on shelves and demands we Catch ‘Em All one more time, just for kicks. The 5th Generation is now out with Pokemon Black and White versions adding over 150 new Pocket Monsters to the roster, but is [...]

2010 is almost outta here! As the New Year gets closer, let’s steal a glimpse at the year to come. We’re looking at a massive amount of line revivals this year- the 80’s are coming home to roost with major remakes of almost every definitive toy line you remember, and a couple you might not. [...]
