Need to catch Zygarde, but I'm feeling lazy :lol
Anyway, let some more Pokemon go via Wonder Trade. Man, I'm seriously tired of Flambebe :p

Oh, and I finished Pokemon Origins. Meh.

Meh is a good reaction.

Outside of the flashy fights, it was really pretty subpar. When the rival has what closer resembles a character arc compared to the protagonist, it's hard to care. Hell, Giovanni was 10 times more interesting than Red, and he was on screen for a combined, what, 8 minutes?

My favorite character was the guy who Red (accidentally) tried to steal from. :lol

I chuckled during that part :p

So my sister got a 3DS and Pokemon X... and she's going to let me use it until I can get my own and a copy of Y. :D

Yeah it was a pretty fun scene.

I still remember the first time I tried to do that.
A team Magma guy was annoying me. :p

So far, only need to catch Moltres is the last "storyline" related thing I need to do left :lol. Currently trying to catch Pokémon to name after characters from Dangan Ronpa. So far, we have my baby Kirigiri (Sylveon), Celes (Mawile), Ohgami (Abomasnow), and Leon (Litleo.)

So today I set off to face the Elite Four, to which I said 'oh'.

I mean I've put in over twenty hours into the game, so it isn't like I really have anything to complain about but after leaving the first gym, it felt like I'd gone on a real adventure between that gym and the second but minus the Team Flare detour, I've largely felt like I've just been moving from gym to gym in a monotonous loop and the routes between cities felt more like annoying padding that simply delayed the inevitable which reward you little for going out of your way to explore them, and add no real substance to my experience.

Even seemingly memorable locations like that sanctuary for abused pokémon (for kids!) largely turned out to be...well just another patch of grass with the same three pokémon in.

Although I felt White was a little too hard for a kids game, the level spikes forced you to stay in each location for longer to train, and it made the game last so much more, and the way they paced like the legendary stuff and all the rest made it feel like you had more game (even if you get the legendary so late they basically become pointless).

I don't hate Y, but I don't feel quite as blown away by it as the internet seems to be. It just feels shallow.

After the story in Black and White (which I considered pretty good) I can see how one might feel that way. This story is thinner, but it's more of a story that Gens 1 or 2 had. About on par with 3's I would say (in terms of complexity), and I don't know what Gen 4's story is like.
