My 6 Favorite Pokemon
There’s a new Pokemon gaming coming out this year! Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will be with us in due time, along with the announcements of the new starters and the reveal of the new roster of critters. This is an exciting time…and I’m not sure if I should be this excited. Honestly, I really, really don’t know where my love of Pokemon comes from…It’s just the same exact game every single time!
Behold our new obsessions!
I first got into Pokemon back on the original Game Boy. I was on my way to a weekend summer camp, and my dad stopped by a store to pick up some supplies, and I bought a gaming magazine. I don’t even remember if it was about gaming in general or Pokemon specifically. But by the time I got home from camp, I knew I needed to go out and buy Pokemon. I picked Pokemon Blue, for reasons that will be apparent by the end of this list. I loved the game, and I’ve bought every new generation since. I don’t buy the tie-in stuff, like Pokemon Arena or Pokemon Rescue Squad, but I have always bought at least one half of the main games.
On two separate occasions, I went out and bought brand new handheld gaming consoles just so that I could play the new Pokemon game. Thankfully, Sun and Moon are still on the 3DS, so I don’t have to destroy my bank account again this year.
But in celebration of the new games, and for Pokemon’s 20th anniversary, I’ve dedicated this list to my top six favorite Pokemon of all time! Join me after the jump!
6 Things I Want From Star Wars Episode VIII
Hey, did you hear they’re making a new Star Wars movie? Fancy that. Production is already underway, so consider the hype train for Episode VIII in full locomotion. I’m as excited as the next fan. Heck, I’m even excited for Rogue One! I still have no idea how that movie’s going to work.
What would I like to see in Star Wars: Episode VIII?
We’re gonna need a good name for this one
When The Force Awakens was first announced way back in 2013, I wrote a similar list…and got maybe two of the things I asked for. But back then, we had no idea what to expect. Now we know the story, the characters, the concepts, and I have some new ideas in mind. New hopes and dreams that will, in all likelihood, still be dashed upon the snow like an overworked tauntaun.
But hope springs eternal! so join me after the jump for six things I want to see in Star Wars: Episode VIII! And be warned, there will be SPOILERS for The Force Awakens, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.

6 DC Superhero Games That Rocksteady Should Work On Next
Finally, at long last, I’ve played and beaten Batman: Arkham Knight. I made the decision to abandon video game consoles with the new generation and focus all my attention on PC and Steam…only for Arkham Knight to receive a PC adaptation that was so bad that Warner Bros. took it off the shelves and offered everyone a full refund, no questions asked. That’s about as bad as things can get.
But then I went and splurged on a new, high-end computer last Fall. And when I decided to take the plunge a few weeks ago and see how Arkham Knight held up on my machine, the game ran perfectly. You couldn’t even tell there’d ever been a problem.
He was the most obvious one…
So for the past few weeks, I’ve been kicking bad guy butt, hunting down the Scarecrow, and finally living that great, glorious dream that all my console friends had already experienced. I enjoyed the game well enough. The story wasn’t the best and I felt too many parts were ‘on rails’, where the game just pointed you in the direction they wanted and gave you the button prompt to enact the next little thing they put in front of you. And there were far too many gadgets and combos to keep track of in the otherwise stellar fighting sequences.
But overall, I enjoyed the game, like I’ve enjoyed all the Arkham series. Those games could very well be the high water mark of all superhero games. Now, Arkham developer Rocksteady is done with Batman, so they say, which means they’re free to move on to a new franchise.
And surely Rocksteady and DC aren’t about to give up on superhero games just yet!
