I went to an anime convention to compete in their Pokemon tournament, didn't make it past the first round (even though I believe I can do so) but I was there just to battle for fun, so there's that.
I plan to make a double battle team next, and I've breed several new Pokemons since the last post.
Then I went on holiday for Christmas and had a Pokemon hiatus since there isn't any internet. I went on and finished Ocarina of Time's Master Quest. The puzzles were more challenging (with the exception of the Water Temple, which was a lot more easier), and it was rather satisfying for me to have completed this game.
I was going to start breeding for my Double battle team after that, but then I went to Skytrex (some outdoor adventure thing) with my cousins and a friend and I had an awesome time there. Then I saw my friend playing his Shin Megami Tensei IV on the way back home, and that made me continue playing my SMT IV (I stopped playing the game after Pokemon X came out). Continuing from where I left off, I aimed to get the Neutral ending, and I was able to do so in the end, which was quite satisfying to me. I continued playing on the neutral pathway until I defeated both final bosses and the credits rolled yesterday. So now I can start breeding my team for good.
The last Pokemon I bred before the new year was a Slowpoke with Oblivious as her ability. She will be my Trick Roomer, since I plan to make a slow team for Double battling, which will become a fast team once Trick Room activates. It's very hard to coin a nickname for Slowpoke since I wanted to make a nickname based on the Slowpoke meme and that I can only put 12 letters into the name. In the end, my friend came up with 'OMG2NewTypes', which refers to X and Y having a new Fairy type but Slowpoke being slow only caught up to Johto's two new types (Dark and Steel).
Anyways, so yeah, 2014, a year whereby each day of each date matches that of 2003. Why is this so significant to me? Because I had this as a present in 2003 but I was too young to appreciate such an awesome thing.
It's a Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Datebook for the year 2003. I didn't really received this in the beginning of the year, and I never really use it for the rest of the year, so it was kind of a huge waste. But I decided when the time comes where the day and date for that year matches that of 2003, I can use this book to the fullest.
The world has change quite a lot since 2003. With smartphones and tablets, you might wonder if I have use for this book. And the answer is... yes. I can still keep track of my assignments and notes from lectures (as in additional stuff that they don't mention on the lecture slides), so this book may still come in handy in this day and age. Typing stuff (especially important notes) on your tablet/smartphone quickly takes up way too much time in my opinion, so I prefer writing stuff down the old school way.
2013 was an awesome/awful year. On one end, I get to play a lot of awesome 3DS games and made a whole lot of new friends with it (which is why I absolutely love their Streetpass feature). On the other end, my grades are slipping due to the immense trolling and ridiculously strict marking scheme of exams. Here's hoping 2014 will be a better year.
