I want a cake. No one is getting me a cake

Thanks Canoe!

It is a completely different experience, though, but it is a good idea to get into it right after gen 1, I think, considering all the Pokemon there. My wife has an interesting experience, I'd expect, because she'd never been into Pokemon at all - only saw an episode or two of the anime and hated it, never tried the game. But she loves the concept of Go and every Pokemon (aside from Pikachu, whom she picked as a starter) is new to her, so there's the added element of discovery that you get when first getting into a new generation fo Pokemon. I'm very envious of her

So how far are you in Blue now?

Yup, basically. Though I've found that I am way less sensitive to that stuff than I was, uh... five or six years ago, when I first reached this part. It's funny how when you grow up things look different. But yeah, it's still pretty chilling, and I now noticed how off Jimenez is actually acting after fusing with Bugaboo, something I didn't notice that well before.

In other news, Pokemon Go is finally out here. Sadly, we had immense server issues during the weekend. Things seem to be looking better. Our nearby park, which is actually our favorite park in the world, is positively teeming with Squirtle. My wife caught a bunch yesterday while I struggled to log in.

Beat Red Rider yesterday. Was much less luck this time, as I caught him at around my 50th encounter. And I still can't summon him because my level is too low, but it won't take long now as I'm level 56 and he's 59.

Anyway, beat sector Fornax. Tiamat was much easier than I remembered. Thinking of taking on those angels so I can unlock the Morher Harlot battle and then take on the devas to get back to neutral. I hear you just need to be lawful to start the quest, but you can take her on as neutral anyway, so I can battle her after the alignment lock. I still need Unlock C though. Hopefully, I'll get it soon enough. I'm at that stage in the story where Zelenin is about to become and angels and sing to Jack's squad.

I have just him so far. I think I'll try to take on Red Rider today.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. And the company acknowledges that - in gen 6, Lapras is the only Pokemon to get a unique surf Sprite.

By the way, got White Rider yesterday! He was my eighth encounter when I went searching for him. Talk about lucky

Pretty sure you can pick up a free Lapeas in Saffron!

Well, the move sets change over the series a lot, and the starters are pretty much rebalanced now. Charizard still gets special treatment, though, as he and Mewtwo are so far the only Pokemon to have more than one mega evolution.

I've never played Blue, really, only Red and Yellow, but yeah, I can see that

Also, Charmander rules, IMO. Granted, Squirtle makes the whole game easier, while Charmander's is an uphill battle, but it's pretty much a design decision. While you don't really get clearly informed that's the choice you're making, your starter choice is basically your difficulty level choice. So you went easy mode That changes in later games where in general you get more Pokemon variety to catch and counter weaknesses, but yeah.

Oh yeah, since you're in Celadon, don't forget to pick up Eevee! Just don't evolve it into Flareon because it won't get any useful moves XD

And yeah, I miss the fiends' theme
