My Ranking of the Pokémon Games
I've spent the vast majority of my life as a Pokemon fan. Is that to say I'm the best at the games? No. Does that mean I know every type matching off the top of my head? No. Does this mean I know every Pokemon and their basic stats? No. But that doesn't diminish how much time I've spent enjoying the games in this franchise. But, before I get into ranking the Pokemon games, I'd like to state that I have not played all of them. So, this will only be my ranking of the ones I've played in my lifetime. I'm going to divide my rankings into four categories: story, difficulty, replay value, and post-game.…
View PostPokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Great Crater
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet ends when you go into the Great Crater after the professor with Penny, Arven, and Nemona. Immediately, you get the sense that something is off. Koraidon or Miraidon will retreat and refuse to come out of their Pokéball the second you get into the crater. I won't go into spoilers of what happens plotwise, but I will be sharing how to get through the boss fight. Which happens after you go through the Great Crater and visit four research stations.…
View PostPokémon Scarlet and Violet: Guide Team Star & Cassiopeia
Team Star is the big group that you face off against in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Unlike groups in past games, they aren't trying to take over the world, kidnap Pokémon, or stop your character in any way. They are a group of rebellious students who have a reputation for bullying students. In truth, they were the ones to stop the bullies but gained a bad reputation for doing so. They have the signature catchphrase of "Hasta la vistar." Your character is recruited by someone going by Cassiopeia to take the groups down by challenging their five bosses. Each of them is located at its own base, and getting through each section is the same.…
View PostPokémon Scarlet and Violet: Guide to the Elite Four and Champions
'Tis time for the Elite Four and Champion battles. The hardest battles in the game usually as it's the final test of strength with your pokémon team. I normally look up who I'm facing and what pokémon they have then focus on that group the entire game to ensure I will be strong enough to beat it.…
View PostPokémon Scarlet and Violet: Guide to the Gyms
One of the three central storylines in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet is getting all of your gym badges, so you can face off against the Elite Four. I debated putting them together here, but I ultimately decided they were going to be separate posts. Similar to Pokémon Sword/Shield, you take on gym challenges before you face the actual gym leader. Sometimes these challenges involve facing off against trainers and other times they don't. It just depends on the gym. You also sometimes face off against your rival, Nemona, before or after the gym. So, you have to consider the possibility of running into her. Unlike the gyms themselves, Nemona's fights are scaled based on how many badges you currently have. I wish the gyms scaled like that too but they didn't. So, it's really easy to go in the wrong order without knowing it as the gym doesn't really tell you which order to go in.…
View PostPokémon Scarlet and Violet: Guide to the Titans & Arven Battle
With the release of the newest Pokémon game (Scarlet and Violet), I absolutely love playing the game. Unlike some of the predecessors, this game has three main plotlines (gyms/elite four, titans, and team star). So, I'm going to be sharing a guide on most of those sections as I complete them here on my blog. I'm not sure if I'll do one on Team Star as they are pretty straightforward, but I could share what the boss Pokémon are in that. So, we'll see. But today, I'm sharing how to get through all the Titans as well as the final boss of this section.…
View PostPokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl: Guide for Defeating the Gym Leaders & Elite Four
I recently got Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, so I thought I would do a little guide on the gyms that you have to go through during the course of the game. There is no difference between the games and the gym leaders. They are similar to the classic Diamond and Pearl games, so you go through the gyms to face the trainers before reaching the leader. There is no challenge or mission, or special feature of the gym like there was in Pokemon Sword/Shield.…
View PostA Beginner’s Look at Animal Crossing New Horizons
Nintendo has finally released Animal Crossing New Horizons on the Switch. Previous to this I have only played the Pocket Camp Edition, which was the mobile mini version of the game. New Horizons is similar to this in that you do a lot of the same concepts, but on a different level and there are more things to do/customize. Since I've basically spent the last two days obsessed with this game, I thought I would do a basic review of the game. I'm not doing time jumping, so I'm not that far into the game. I'll probably do some additional posts on this in the future, though it might just be one of those games that I play a lot but don't write a whole ton about. Since it has a more relaxed feel to it similar to Stardew Valley.…
