So how has everyone been doing lately?

I've been kinda busy, doing stuff around and such.

What about all of you? What's been happening these past few whatever-span-of-time?

I've been a bit slow lately, distracted by stuff on the side.

Birthday's coming up on the 16th so I've got that to look forward to as well.

Man I am out of it. Still haven't felt like drawing anything for here too much, and haven't even felt like being in any chats. I mean, it's not that I don't want to, but I just haven't felt like doing anything of the such lately. Perhaps it's time for me to go?

Not a chance, I love you all too much. Once I figure out how to get out of this funk I'm coming back at ya!

Wassup?

I'd usually try to keep quiet about this kind of thing, but I haven't really felt in the mood to do anything, really. Haven't felt like chatting, haven't felt like drawing, haven't felt... really, haven't felt inspired or all that great, really. So if you've noticed me gone from chatting, that's why.

Dunno when I'll be back, hopefully soon.

Where the heck did these "Wawalk" guys find a place with the Harvest ability? Tell me, I want to go there!

(For the record Harvest is a dream-world-only ability so you can't find it in the wild)

Really I just found it funny.

So I went to the BW Mall Tour over in Arcadia, it was quite fun! Even though I missed the movie and didn't get a chance to get to the demos. And the prize line was an hour long. I got plenty of conversation during it though so it wasn't dull, at least! I also bought a few plushes while I was there. 10 dollars is a convenient price for the small ones.

Because I figured I should at least say something out there. Shout out to friends and such! Because they are swell and I'm sure I'd be worse off without them so really thank you all guys!

Plus I can't think of anything to draw on the matter and probably won't think of something by the time it's over.

Holy... They're using lowercase in Pokémon naming!

Finally, I can start forgetting the moonspeak names!

I'll be lazy and steal from

http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....pokemon/klink/
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....kemon/blitzle/ (Woo, my first gen 5 favorite has a cool name. Though I have no idea what the "le" part is all about)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....okemon/pidove/ (This kinda looks odd. I mean I know what they're doing with it, but it just looks odd to me.)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....kemon/sandile/ (Simple yet works)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....on/darmanitan/ (Now that I looked at this a bit, I have a feeling this the newest name that suffers under the ten letter limit. Darumanitan or Dharmanitan would look great. I still suggest you name one Aku!)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....pokemon/munna/ (Wait, this isn't new at all! So I'm guessing Musharna might stay the same as well.)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....emon/minccino/ (This sounds pretty cool too.)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....emon/gigalith/ (Also pretty cool)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....essor-juniper/ (Oh hey she has a tree name! I am SOOOOO surprised!)
http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en.....castelia-city/

According to the site, there's also a few other things revealed.

Moves:
- Minccino's multi-hit move is called Tail Slap. For the record, it's exclusive to it (Not counting breeding to vulpix/buizel)
- I'm going to guess Munna's move that allows your opponents to be unable to evade is Telekinesis, judging from the site's comments. Fantranslators have been calling that move that anyhow so no big deal, it must have been the obvious choice.
- Blitzle's (Okay, loads of pokémon's) electric take-down-style move is Wild Charge

Abilities:
- Darmanitan's main ability is Sheer Force. That's the one that powers up moves with positive (For the user) secondary effects but eliminates the secondary effect. A decent amount of things have it, like... that eagle.
- Pidove's new ability is...Big Pecks? Wha? Is that some sort of big bird pecs joke? Anyhow that's the one that keeps your defense from being lowered by an opponent. Only three Gen 5 bird lines have it (Pidove, the duck/swan, the vulture), and Pidgey line and Chatot get it through Dream World.
- Sandile's new ability is Moxie. That's the one Serebii hilariously dubbed "Earthquake Spiral" ages and ages back. Anyhow, this is the one that raises your attack when the user defeats a Pokémon. ANY pokémon, including, say... your teammates.

Finally, that is some odd nickname font.

So yeah, I figure most of you know all this by now but this is mostly up for people who don't know. By the way, check out the guy I stole the links from.

Er, yeah. I felt it'd be proper to say.

See? I told you they'd come out in the US. (Well, the ones I heard doubting it, anyhow)

Week of the 3rd for Raikou
Week of the 17th for Entei
Week of the 31st (so, extends into February) for Suicune.

Seven days each, through Gamestop, apparently. So get at it!

Bring your pokéwalkers while you're at it.

So I was looking at Bulbapedia and noticed this: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w.....nki_poster.jpg

He's got a shellsword! Now I know that's been stated plenty of times, but clearly it doesn't come out of nowhere, right? So I decided to analyze.

Look at its left foreleg. Notice something different from the right foreleg?

Do the math.

Zoroark is now... Zoroark! It sounds so new, and fresh!

I don't think I've ever manage to quit playing a game just because I've gotten so infuriated over it. It's a great game sure! Just safest to take in doses.

For the record, I'm up to The Kid's warp zone, in Rapture. I've been 100%ing the worlds as I progress so... I'm probably gonna take a few days here...

Oshawott.

...Oshawott...

Why the heck does the water starter get all the cool stuff? I still don't like how the first form looks.

On that note I'm definitely naming my Snivy Smugleaf. Now I don't hate "Snivy" or anything (Actually considering the Japanese name it's probably one of the most obvious choices), but with the freedom of using that as a nickname it shall live on in infamy! Well, me and just about everyone else but you know.

And then Tepig. Wha? I mean, I get it and all, it just seems kinda simple in comparison to the others. Then again I blame the word Tepid.

Then again all the starter names have been kinda middling to me.

I don't get why they changed the region to Unova though. Maybe it's a reference that goes over my head or something, seeing as all the other regions are pretty much the Japanese names (slightly altered in 3rd/4th gen's case).

So yeah! Your thoughts?

Well that was fun. Hope to see more than five people next time, though.

Holy freakin'... THIS THING HAS FEET!

Also slump is still kinda slumpy, just putting something up here in case anyone's thinking I've gone missing (Pft, like anyone would think that), what with my absence from AIM and IRC and all.

Okay don't feel like working up some advertising banter so... October 15th to 30th, wifi only, HG/SS only.

So lately I've been having problems trying to focus on drawing. Or doing anything really, and it's been dragging on my mood. Dunno why, but it was a pain. And now I've managed to screw up my sleep schedule.

My mental seems to be out of whack. So if you don't see much art coming from me, well, that's why.

See this thing?

It learns Fly.

You can now all be amazed.

EDIT: For those who even looked in the short span, apparently by the time I finished what little I found, someone else finished everything.

If you're curious about who learns what, use Ctrl+F with this page and the numbers to find out: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2992567&postcount=11 (for level up) / http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2997058&postcount=329 (for egg moves)

Also there's a few move clones in the list such as a special electric U-turn, as well as fire-type zap cannon.

...I forgot that the appliance rotoms aren't electric/ghost anymore.

Designs? Eh, they have their ups and downs. I'm liking a few things, like voltzebra (again), that war eagle, grassnake starter, and nazcabird of all things. Haven't looked at gym leaders or E4 or champion but I refuse to look at that stuff.

Also I hear a fair few moves are getting boosted a bit.

Oh yes and I still request you guys to name your hihidaruma things "Aku"

Probably plenty more to say but I'm dead tired so ta-ta for now.

----

...On an unrelated note, with planned characters and existing characters and whatnot after the 5th gen turn, I've gone from having the only existing electric/flying type to... all but one existing electric/flying type. Funny.

I'll get to finishing up responses on that last journal. Really.

Anyhow...
