Platinum!!!!!!!

Okay, once again, I'm so sorry for not posting sooner! It's just nothing really exciting has happened in these past couple weeks. However, Pokemon Platinum Version came out! I pre-ordered it and got the last Giratina figure in stock. I am loving it more and more with every minute I play the darn game! So that's going to be the main topic of this post. But you shouldn't really be surprised.

Okay well if you noticed the time this was posted (Mom!!), it's because I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. So I thought writing a post would help me get tired again. Besides, I've been meaning to do this for at least a week now... So now let's really get started!

Platinum finally came out (I also haven't posted because I've been getting a feel for the game to see what I could post about.)!! I love this game so much!! I have almost been playing it non-stop, but I am still not even close to being done with the story line. I am only just going to Celestic Town in the fog. It. Is. A pain. I am still trying to train my Monferno (original starter. Chimchar FTW!!) into an Infernape while I am also trying to train my Prinplup and Grotle (both GTS traded) so that's why I'm so far behind........ Okay maybe I am training all my others along the way. But mainly my Scyther that has amazingly good Attack and Speed.

Now, we have all noticed that some of the Pokemon sprites have changed. I am loving most of them. Especially Skuntank's (if you've seen it, you know why. ;)). Also, some of the major trainer sprites have been given an opening action for when the battle starts (I love out rival's sprite action!). So there is the info on the sprites.

New characters!! I love Looker!! His hair is amazingly amazing!! However, I am not into the new Galactic leader... He's just some old guy with a weirdly shaped nose... You may even call him Joec (inside joke to everyone over at WTPT. No offense Joec!!)!! But I have only seen those two new characters so far. If I've seen any others, I've forgotten them.

Now for my in-game team. It is constantly changing (for now), but here's what my main goal is. Scizor, Infernape, Giratina, Torterra, Empoleon, and Staraptor. I know, it's not a very well balanced team. But it will get me to where I need to go. I still don't have movesets for them though...

New apps!! I've only found one so far, but I am pleased to know there are new ones. I'm talking about the Matchmaker App. I got it at the Safari Zone (I know it's called the Great Marsh) from a farm girl by catching 5 Pokemon in one round. It can tell you which Pokemon in your team are compatible for breeding. I have some interesting ones... Such as my Eevee and Monferno... But I am trying to find more apps.

Okay for the last thing in this post. The redesigned gyms. I have liked some of them. I was disappointed with the Eterna Gym. It was just a flower clock with fountains. I loved Hearthome Gym!! It was kind of like a Mario Party mini-game (no seriously. It reminded me of it.)! But anyways. It was pretty cool seeing the designs so far.

Wow... This was longer than I thought it would be... Well that's okay. Longer is better! Maybe now I can go back to sleep! Please comment and/or follow!!

Hopefully catching some Z's,

Sorry!

Okay. The last post I did on Wednesday. I made a mental note to post every Wednesday. Obviously, that didn't work out so well. But now, I'm going to post every week.  So just check in every now and again.

Okay. Let's start off with some Pokemon news. As you may know, Platinum Version is coming out on the 22nd of March. If you pre-ordered, you will receive an awesome Giratina Origin Form trading figure when you pick it up. So hopefully we've all pre-ordered!

The next bit of news, is the Regigigas Event. This is a Pokemon event that started this Sunday. It goes until the 21st of March and it is being held at any Toys'R'Us in the United States. I will be going with a friend (Chochobo from the forums of pallettribune.com) on Saturday and if you just happen to live by us, you might get a chance to see us! But that is a VERY small chance so don't be getting your hopes up!

Finally!! Jowy and KC have finally released the new episode of WTPT! It is the Blue Rescue Team episode! I LOVED this episode! Even IF Jowy sounded like a total nOOb when he was talking about it, it was awesome! But I'm an addict for that game so I guess it's better to be a nOOb than an addict!

Well I know this post is one of my longer posts, but that's okay! Longer is better! Most of the time at least. But it is getting late and I think I'm going to turn in for the night. So sorry for not posting sooner but I'm trying harder! So just please give me another chance! Bye!
