I Lied/Pokemon Geek Out

Yeah, my "Lenten Promise" has kinda been full of fail. I wish I could say I was sorry, but really I have so few followers I don't care that much. If you care, comment.

I've been playing Pokemon more and more. Yeah, that's one excuse as well as general schooling.

But anyway back to Pokemon. I've been playing through Heart Gold and I have a confession to make: I still haven't beaten the Elite Four, ever. I've tried many times, this game alone, and I still am falling behind. So, I've been training like no other and I'm hoping to beat the first half of Heart Gold today or tomorrow.

But the other Pokemon news I have started Pokemon Ruby and I've been considering doing a Nuzlocke Challenge. That basically means fainting=death of a pokemon and you must catch the first pokemon you see in an area. While it is an interesting, and perhaps realistic approach to the Pokemon Universe, I'm apprehensive. I already form ridiculous emotional attachments to computer generated characers in games.

I've never intentionally killed a Sim, I hate it when I lose too many Pikmin, and Pokemon... I hate it when I white/black out. I feel like I've failed as a trainer already when they faint, I can't imagine what I'd do if fainting equaled death.

Next in my Pokemon journeys are to buy Platinum and Black version. Hopefully I can finally start beating elite fours soon.
