Sorry I haven't been posting at all for the past few months. Been pretty busy with studying, video games, and other stuff. I might continue sometime, but for now, I'll be working on a separate piece of work. I've started a Fanfiction story for FranticShipping on fanfiction.net.

The title is Iridescent Sky, and my username is the same there. I will be continuing that as a minor side project for a couple weeks, so if you guys wanna check that out, you're very welcome to. Leave a review as well, to help me make it better!

Sorry for the inconvenience to those who like my blog posts(Which is probably very few of you)
I'll try to finish that story as fast as possible, and continue posting here every 2 weeks or so.

Until next time, fellow fans.

Theories and Mystery Solutions(Part 2)

To All The Fans

Hey guys! Just another part to solve and develop theories for mysteries from the Pokemon Franchise!

Mystery Number 1: Why is Grass super effective against Water?

The Pokemon type chart is so large now, some of the matches and weaknesses don't make much sense. Like, some of them do make some sense, but THIS one is the most confusing. I mean, aren't Grass and Water types supposed to get along? Why are Grass moves super effective against Water types? Do the moves literally suck the moisture out of the Water types, causing physical weakness and damage?

Theory:

The Pokemon team used science to make Grass super effective against Water. Their moves suck the moisture out of the Water types.

Evidence: 

We all know that plants, a.k.a Grass type Pokemon, live and grow by sucking the moisture and water particles from the ground with their roots. It could be that the Pokemon universe and it's surroundings do have some scientific explanation to it. A common move that most starting Grass types use is Absorb. When the move is used, it depletes a varying amount of HP from the foe, and adds that much to your Pokemon. The move is a line of three, the other two being Giga Drain and Mega Drain. According to the science behind it, in Generations 4 and 5, it is said that if the Pokemon has a Big Root item with it, it recovers 30% more HP than it normally would. This comes to show that, along with the animation of little balls, that could represent water drops or moisture particles being sucked up, though it would be the same on any Pokemon.

Mystery Number 2: What world do you live in?

I mean, really. I get that there are regions and all, like Johto, Kanto, Sinnoh, Hoenn, Unova, Kalos,Orre,etc. But, what is the name of the world you live in? Is it just the regions mixed with water, with a planet named Pokemon? Or is it an alternate reality version of Earth, with extra areas and none of the same creatures?

Theory: 

The world is an alternate reality of Earth, with more areas and different creatures.

Evidence: 

 I mean, just look at the picture beside the theory. Note it's obvious resemblance to Earth. Also, after procrastinating too much, I had researched the parts and regions of the Pokemon world, and found that some of the regions do have a striking resemblance to parts of Japan. This is also shown in the picture to the left, credits to Bulbapedia. The climate of the regions are pretty similar to Earth's, like Autumn, Summer, Winter, and Spring, though some places, like Snowpoint City, have pretty weird climates, this one having diamond dust falling from the sky. Another thing to note is that it has some pretty similar landmarks and famous places, like Mt. Coronet. It has a resemblance to Mount Everest, along with the fact that both are a part of a massive mountain range that divides an area into half, and connects some cities and places. The world you live in in the game is Earth, according to the GTS in every Pokemon Center and the very accurate globe in Black and White 2.  

That's all for this part, guys. See ya next week! 
 

Upcoming Expansion-Pokemon XY: Primal Clash!

To All The Fans

Hey guys. I know we all love the new expansions, and we're all hungry for more. Well, guess what- There's another one coming on February 2015!!! The expansion is Pokemon XY: Primal Clash! By the name we could probably assume there's Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Primal Groudon and Kyogre EX! We could also assume there's more mega evolution cards this time. I think there could be Gardevoir, Sharpedo, Aggron, Camerupt and a few more cards, because as far as I know, they haven't come as Megas in the older expansions. Since the Mega Pokemon come from EXs we could also assume there's more EX pokemon. Also, that gives us the idea that there will be more theme decks relating to Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. We could assume one is related to the Ocean and the other is related to the Land or Volcanos. Anyways, we all hope they come out soon, as I can't wait for the new things coming up. Also, I read in a website that there were rumors going around that there's something new going on- Ancient Traits!! This feature allows certain Pokemon to have special advantages in battle.

I searched up Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre cards and these pics are what came up:(Notice those bars near the top-they are probably those Ancient Traits that I saw in the website)

Theories and Mystery Solutions(Part 1)

To All The Fans

Mystery Number 1: What's it like inside a Pokeball?

We all know that Pokemon shrink to fit inside the Pokeball. Then they just come out again for battle. Well, That's completely logical. The thing is, how's it like? Is it like an imaginary dream world where the Pokemon sleeps and jumps around? Is it just a boring sphere where Pokemon sit or stand in, until they are called out for battle?




Theory:

I think it might be the boring sphere.


Evidence:

In most of the series', Ash explains to his fellow friends and strangers that Pikachu is always outside it's Pokeball, because it doesn't like staying in it. That could be a piece of evidence relating to the fact that the Pokeball is just a boring sphere where the Pokemon walk around. Another piece of evidence is that Pikachu likes eating a lot(judging by it's appearance in the old series). So, there probably isn't any food there either. So, Pikachu might also have not liked staying inside the Pokeball without any food. However, this doesn't completely have much logic. Also, remember Team Rocket? Well, the two Pokemon they always have are Wobbuffet and Meowth. Note that in almost every episode in every series, Wobbuffet pops out of the Pokeball out of the blue. This can support the fact that it does not like staying in there either, maybe because of hunger or boredom. Judging by the fact that Wobbuffet is never there when Team Rocket are eating, it's most likely just hunger. It still doesn't look like it's hungry, so it's probably boredom.



Mystery Number 2: Why can't you catch starters in the wild?

True. We can't catch starters in the grass, water, or anywhere else for that matter. But why? Why can you only choose ONE and only when the Professors GIVE it to you? Well, that's one mystery that's going to take a long time to resolve.

Theory:

The professors have all the starters with them, not a single one left out. They each keep probably around 100 of each starter from every region.

Evidence:

In all the series', we notice that the Professor has a REALLY big lab. We also know that the Professor studies Pokemon very closely. Also, we remember from the few episodes relating to the Pokemon Summer Camp, Tierno and his friends, Shauna and Trevor, got their starters from Professor Sycamore in XY, even though Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur are from the Johto and Kanto series and the Red, Blue and Yellow versions. This can support the fact that the Professors have a REALLY big storage room with 100 or so of each and every single starter from every single region. Also, see the picture above? You can notice the little boxes lying around everywhere. There might be a 50% chance there are Pokeballs with the starters in them. Also, note the fact that the Professors have a full Pokedex(except the old ones). This can support the fact that they probably saw Ho-oh before, having the wish of, you guessed it, removing all starters from the wild and giving it to them.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

To All The Fans
Hey guys. This time, I'm gonna talk about the most recent Pokemon Games: Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. These are remakes of the 2002 trio games Ruby, Sapphire, along with Emerald. I have gotten a special edition and I am currently playing it. These two are very awesome. They have the same graphics as X and Y, along with the brand- new Soar feature! In this feature, when you fly, you can actually control your Pokemon when it is in the air. You don't have to set a destination in the map and just fly off and a few seconds later you get there. You go wherever you want, and you can even land in routes! It also brings in Mega Evolutions for my three favorite starters: Mega Blaziken, Mega Sceptile, and Mega Swampert! These are really awesome. I highly recommend playing this game, and hope you guys have the same opinion as I do!

Pros:

• New Mega Evolutions
• Soar Feature
• Same, dramatic story
• The best protagonists
• The best rivals
• The best evil teams who think what they're doing is good
• New Primal Groudon and Kyogre

Cons:

• Still can't find both legendaries in the games- only by trade
• Didn't make a remake for Emerald- the last ones are always left out ;(
