You have to admire that pazzaz
“Gotta catch’em all!” Or at least that is what they try and teach you from the beginning. So you tell me what I was supposed to do. I was young, dumb and had really bad fashion sense; being a trainer was all that I could do. At first it was a bit disorienting moving from a first person perspective to an over head one. But after an hour or so wandering around town, I found it most rewarding. I mean, I knew what was going on behind me and with the new view it also seemed I could enter anyone’s house… Not that I’m a voyeur or anything.

Well, now that I had the newness, it was time to get my first pokemon. My choices were a fire breathing Manabi, a water spouting yoshi, and a leafy Pino. No brainer, I like fire and Manabi provides the best conversation. With new pokemon in hand I set out from the first gym, in Yulia city. As I left my home town some idiot by the name of Gamera. He’s all “I’m your rival and everytime you leave a city I’ll be there to battle you”. And I’m all “Manabi, burn him to the ground.” And he’s all, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” And me and Manabi gain dark side points.

It was quite a feat that we made it to Yulia city with all that damned high grass and all those other trainers that kept trying to battle us if we just looked at them. I bet you can guess what we did. By the time we made it to the city entrance, Manabi and I were well on our was to being Sith lords. Also, I picked up a flying type named Kana; she uses the giant bow in her hair to fly.

At the gym, all the trainers that wished to battle before I even got to the leader were taken out by the death charges I set the night before. God I love this over head view. When the local police arrived I was already on my way to the next gym. Poor Brock may his charred body rest in pieces.

But all was not to be. As I left the city I came across a massive plot of an evil group called The Moron Corps. to steal all the pokeman and make them sex slaves. Evil, so very evil. So, using Manabi’s suggestion of infiltrating the group I met the leader and we sent him early to his appointment in hell. We also reorganized the group to a suicide cult and the next day they all jumped from the edge of the world. With the Moron Corps out of the way, me and my gang were on the way to being the best. Mostly because all who stood in our way met an untimely and mysterious end.

Now, while mindless acts of violence can keep me occupied till the end of time, I still need to eat. So, I saved my game and rubbed the strain out of my eyes. I was in the mood for curry and the best place to get it was Moby Dick’s. So off to Second Miltia.

Unbeknownst to me, the whole galaxy was at war with some weird salt creatures. And they weren’t winning. They’re made of salt, SALT for Christ sake. And how do we deal with salt? FIRE!!!! Lots and lots of fire. The down part was that many innocents died, but eh, what are you supposed to expect.

With over half the galaxy destroyed, I felt that my services were no longer needed and packed my bags, chartered the nearest nebula and left to another universe.

Nana has been playing too much KOTOR and Pokemon. Not that that is a bad thing. It's just that when the whole pokemon game starts to creep into Nana's dreams, than it is a problem. like a while back when Nana first got Diamond, she was dreaming about catching a serial killer and she went and used that explorer kit and searched the underground all pokemon style.

Nana also picked up an old GC game called Ikaruga. It is a top down shooter. The key point to the game is that unlike the Touhou games and the grazing, Ikaruga is a bullet eater type. There still is a screen full of bullets, it's just that they are two different colors and you change your ship accordingly. If you eat a bullet of the opposite color you die. So very hard. Yet so very fun.
