Pokémon 'of the Month'


'of the Month' is a new segment where I basically spotlight 'Something Awesome'. This will happen on the last day of each month (seems more appropriate to have it at the end than the start).
 
So what is 'Something Awesome'? Well 'Something Awesome' can range from Artists, Music, Movies, Games and anything else that is worth mentioning! If you know 'Something Awesome' that should be mentioned on my Blog, then just share it in the comments!

'Something Awesome' this month is:

Pokémon X & Y - 6 Turtwig Up for Trade!

Well guess what? I have many, many Pokémon from the previous generations currently in storage. I won't say what, but I believe the hint that Turtwig is definitely one of 'em might give you a hint as to what I have.

Well, my Turtwig isn't so much a Turtwig but an awesome Torterra. Admittedly Torterra isn't a very powerful Pokémon and is considered quite weak by many (in terms of "competitive" battling); but regardless it's one of the many fan favourites.

Anyway, seeing as how you cannot acquire a Turtwig in either Pokémon X or Y; I shall offer my spare 6 up for trade!

Pokémon X & Y - 6 Spare Charmanders!

As per the title, I currently have 6 spare Charmanders up for trade. More specifically, 6 spare Modest Charmanders with the Dragon Pulse Egg Move (not IV Checked and all Male).

Rather than give you a wall of text, I'll put it bluntly; I'm willing to trade them for something good. Something nice. I'm willing to accept most things; but expect some bargaining :P

The first person who is willing to offer me a Squirtle with the Rain Dish Hidden Ability (Nature and IVs do not matter) will instead get 1 of these Charmanders who will also have Pokérus.

Best way to contact me is to message me via my Facebook page. Specifically my Facebook page (not this Blog's Facebook). It'll be nice if you also "Like" and share the page. Once I reach a certain number of "Followers" I might just start offering Giveaways...

Pokémon X & Y - How to get a Sylveon

As you all may or may not know, I received a 3DSXL and Pokémon Y for Christmas from my good friends Scarlet, Nekochii and AutumnRush of the Advent Cafe! So, that's practically what I've been playing for the past several weeks!

Ironically I haven't even reached the 7th Gym!! I've just been messing around trying to capture everything I can find, as well as leveling up cool Pokémon that I may or may not use in the Elite Four. Of these Pokémon are all the Eeveelutions (with the exception of Sylveon).

I don't ever intend to use Sylveon; but that doesn't mean I can't add it to my collection! And trying to get a Sylveon is perceived as generally difficult; but it's not. It's actually really, really simple and easy. It should take you approximately 10 minutes!

MechWarrior: Online - Wolverine WVR-6R(P) Build

Well this is the first Mech build of the year! Let's kick it off with some Sabre Mech goodness. The Wolverine is by far my least favourite of the 2 Sabre Mechs. I do not doubt its worth, but I feel the Griffin just lookes cooler and feels so much better.

However the Wolverine is a pretty decent Mech; least I find this loadout works really well for.

It's a new year!


It's that time of year again; that time where we look back and reflect upon what we have accomplished, or done through the year.

For me; this year has been super successful in terms of this blog. When this blog first started, I didn't really have a goal, other than if I posted something 1 week, I'd get an extra 3% on unit. Which made the difference between me going from that Distinction to a High Distinction.

But then; this year came along, and I decided this blog needed to go somewhere. I didn't want to be some generic blog on the internet. I wanted it to be something. And I believe I've achieved it. I don't need the big 1 million hits per year. I'm simply happy with 5000 per Month (12000 per year).

Reasoning; I have a dedicated viewer base. You know who you are, and I do too (least some of you). I've met you in-game once before. I might have killed you, lost to you, or been on the same team. I still remember the encounter.

In terms of blogging and posting; I now have a a nice 150 posts. Most of it should be filled with nice builds; and snippets of information, now old. But regardless, I stayed true to my goal and achieved 1 post per week! I'm happy with 2013.

What happened to my YouTube channel? It's technically been created, but during my recordings, I found that my machine couldn't handle it. It was really a disappointment. I thought my machine was pretty decent. I can play most games (if not all) on High graphical settings, with MWO being played on Medium. Regardless, I'll try and scavenge the money needed to upgrade. Hopefully then I can do nice Let's Plays!

Anyway, I hope this year has been good for you too. Being an Aussie and living in a +10GMT zone, I'll be in the new year a few hours ahead of you guys.

And so; I bid you a Happy New Year!! Cya on the other side!
