My Room Showcase #2

Yup, it's that time again! I said I was guessing I would do it in around 2-5 months, and I made a very close guess, too! I was just one month short! So let's get it going! As you can see, I changed some things around!

Let's start with the wall. Pretty much the same except for a few new things. I've already posted about this, but a Pokemon puzzle poster! This originally came with Poke Ball stickers you can use to signify what you've caught, but along with a puzzle piece, that was missing when we got it at a yard sale. So I use stars instead! As you can see, I've caught 'em all! No, not in Pokemon GO, but in the original Red and Blue.

Also, here's a Pokemon calendar I got from travels to Boston back in March! Yeah! I've wanted this for a long time. I've never even had a calendar to call my own before this!

And now, let's move on to the big display. As you can see, I did away with the big LEGO display and put a big focus on amiibo and gaming.

First of all, here are my Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games! Pokemon FireRed, Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Crystal! Real classics!

My Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance! I don't use these nearly as often as my 3DS, but it's still worth playing Pokemon games on 'em.

My LEGO buildable Obi-Wan Kenobi is still there, but just in a heroic pose.

And my Finn action figure is also still there! Nothing different, still mint in box.

My N64 games, Pokemon Stadium, Mario Party 2 and Super Smash Bros. along with a rare Adventures in Odyssey CD, Joy to the World!

My Pokemon DS and 3DS games! Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Y, and White 2! And also Super Smash Bros. for 3DS! And a couple Pokemon promotion cards for Dragonite and Mew!

And the thing that steals the show... my amiibo collection!

Here are my Pokemon amiibo, from right to left, Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, and Greninja!

My other amiibo, from left to right it is Mario, Shulk, Sheik and Luigi!

And my poor Fling Kong Skylander is just sitting there in the middle...

My closet! This is more organized now! Well, the shelf part of it anyway...

The floor part of it is a mess.

My bed! Not much is different except 1--it's in a different place

2--it has a dorky Luigi hat sitting there.

3--More stuffed Pokemon! From left to right, it's Pikachu, Umbreon, Torchic, Axew and Pancham!

And lastly, my TV. You've seen this before. Except there's one difference. I now have Pokemon Stadium 2 on my N64! Well... that's not much of a difference at all...

And that's it. Hope you enjoyed that 2nd tour of my room! See ya sometime soon!

Birthday Party And Other Stuff!

I'M BAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't blog for a while. I just... didn't feel like it. I have 3 posts planned for August after this, because for two weeks I'll be busy... hey, I've got more ideas! But I probably won't post 'em. Anyway....

My birthday! On May 31st, my grandparents took me out to dinner, as well as two stores! One I spent way more time in. And I got all this!

The first store I went to was Walmart, and I got one thing: a Pokemon Torchic plush! The second store I went to was Gamestop, and one of the things I got there was a Pokemon Pancham plush!

And I have two new amiibos! Charizard and Jigglypuff!

'

And lastly, I got a bunch of 3DS styluses!

And that's it for that. In June, I had a huge birthday party! I've been planning for it for a long time! A lot of friends came, and we all had fun! We ate a dinner of sausage sauce spaghetti, we played Picture Telephone, and we played a Smash tournament! That was epic.

But the big thing I'm showing you is what I got for gifts!

First, I'll show you that I got a $30 American Express gift card as well as a $20 Nintendo eShop gift card and 25 other dollars in bills! What did I spend this money on? I'll tell you in my next post, My Room Showcase #2! And you can count on that existing! Just... in August. Aaaanyway, I also got some Ice Cubes gum and squirt guns!

A Mario and Mewtwo amiibo!

Super Mario Maker and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes! Super Mario Maker is just what it sounds like, a game where you make Super Mario Bros. levels! LEGO Marvel Super Heroes... It's okay. But hey! It's the thought that counts!

A Pokemon Umbreon plush!

And lastly, some nice earbuds and... Tomodachi Life! This game I've been addicted to for about a month now. It didn't last, but it was fun while it did! This is a game where you can bring Miis together to live in a big building of apartments, and you have everyone you want living together, like Zelda, Luke Skywalker, Donald Trump and other people!

Here are some funny moments from this past month.

Well, in conclusion, I had a really fun birthday, and I got really nice gifts. See ya next time!

Early Birthday Fun!

Around a week ago, I went to my dad's house to celebrate my birthday! ...Even though it was over a week away then... and we had fun! I got some nice , like a Star Wars kite

a Star Wars puzzle

and... A GOPRO HERO SESSION!!!!!!!! Jealous? I hope not, jealousy's not good... This is an awesome camera, with 1080p quality, waterproofness, mobile device compatibility, and other awesome stuff.

We did some things like watch Youtube videos, film with my GoPro, and we had a nice lunch of spaghetti with sausage sauce! A while after that, we ate some ice cream cake! I was going to light the candles with a lighter, being about 16 and all, but I got a teeeeeeeeeensy bit burned. So I used a lit candle. (the following pic is taken by the GoPro, by the way!)

And my grandma gave me a card that had $10 in it, so.... I FINISHED SAVING UP FOR A >NEW< 3DS XL!!!!! Yeah!!! I bought a used one on Ebay after I got home for $147.24. Here it is! It is really awesome. Not only does it have bigger screens, but it has a few extra controls, faster processing power and amiibo support!

This was an awesome day, an awesome visit, and awesome gifts! I can't wait to tell you about the rest of my birthday fun! See ya!

House Commissions!

It started at winter, when I couldn't mow the lawn anymore. Mom issued new commissions for me! We have a chart to keep track of it! First of all, is taking out the trash. Pretty easy, just running over to the dumpster, and I earn 50 cents for it.

Next, is cleaning the bathrooms. It's a bit harder than taking out the trash, but still kiiinda easy. I clean the mirror, sink and toilet, and I do it for both bathrooms. For each one I earn $1.50, so that adds up to $3.

Third is sweeping! This one is the most tedious. I have to sweep a lot of the crumbs and dust in the house. I do both upstairs and downstairs, and I earn $2 for each, which adds up to $4 (well, obviously)

And finally, mopping. This one's the most fun. I fill a bucket with vinegar water and mop both downstairs and upstairs! I earn $2 for each floor, and it adds up to...... You know. (kept forgetting to take a pic of me mopping so here's a pic of the mop and bucket sitting idly)

Last year I spent a lot of my money on stuff like candy, snacks and a few games. While getting games is great, I'm saving up for something bigger... A >NEW< 3DS XL!

(they could've done better with the name, though...) Well so far, I've earned about $130 so far (some of it may have been gift money) so if I bought it cheaper on Ebay I think I'd be finished by the end of the month! 

Pokemon Sun and Moon Starters Revealed!

You don't know how long I've been waiting for this. All through 2015 I watched Nintendo Directs, waiting for the announcement for the next Pokemon game. None came. That is, not the next main series game. There were spinoffs and a rerelease, though. Then, they announced in February that there was gonna be a Direct specifically for Pokemon with the words "big news" attached. I watched the Direct. I was really excited. They announced the all-new games Sun and Moon. Though all they had to show was glimpses of vague concept art and a CGI model. Last month, there was an announcement that Japanese comic magazine CoroCoro would reveal new "big news" about this mysterious game. All that came was color of boxart and type reveal of a Pokemon revealed a while ago. I was waiting for game footage. Then finally, Junichi Masuda (director) announced that there was going to be big news for this game on Tuesday at 8 am. I got up, waited an hour... and it came.

Watch this trailer before anything else.



YEAH!!!!!!!!! I could ramble on and on about the quick shots and glimpses of new characters and stuff we know nothing about, but let's talk about the biggest part of the trailer: The starters! At first glance, they didn't look right. They didn't seem like what Pokemon should look like. But that happened to a lot of people when they first saw the Black/White starters. But then 5 minutes later, they grew on me! These starters actually look pretty great! Let's delve into my thoughts for each of them.
                     
Rowlet, the Grass Quill Pokemon! This is a Grass/Flying type that has the Overgrow ability and knows the new move Leafage! I wouldn't think that the move would be anything special, though. My problem with this one is that Grass-types have a lot of weaknesses. Even though it's also Flying-type it still isn't a very great type. At least it can learn the HM Fly...

Litten, the Fire Cat Pokemon! This is a Fire-type that has the ability Blaze and knows Ember! Well, that part was obvious. All Fire-type starters know Ember. I love cats, and I used to have a black cat named Patches that I miss having around to snuggle with me. For that reason, I think that's what I'm gonna choose for my first playthrough!

                             

And last but not least, Popplio, the Sea Lion Pokemon! This is a Water-type that has the ability Torrent and knows the move Water Gun! That part was also obvious. Just look at it! It's so adorable! On the website it  shows that it likes to show off its acrobatics. I was pretty torn between this and Litten but for the reasons I've explained, I think I'm choosing that one.

EDIT: Oops! After I published this I realized I forgot something! The main legendaries! Well, here they are! Of course, it was obvious that the Sun one was going to be a lion. Kinda actually reminds me of Aslan. But the Moon one....... That just looks... off, in my opinion. Unless I hear Moon has any better content, I know I'm picking Sun because of its main legendary.

Well, I can't wait for this awesome game to release. I'm excited! I'm hyped! Throughout the year I'm gonna go through a lot of the new reveals and stuff for this game. Well, see ya!
