The Pokémon 2012 Championship Cycle Has Begun!

Again, old news, but the Pokémon 2012 road to nationals has begun! Regional tournaments have started, so the road to making it to the national tournament in Indianapolis has begun! Tournaments are in two areas: TCG (Trading Card Game) and VGC (Video Game Championships) and players from all over the country compete for a chance to make it to nationals, and players from all over the world compete for a chance to make it to the world championships! I compete in the summer tournaments, usually in Virginia, and this year I know I'm going to make it in VGC! I've been working on my Pokémon's EVs and IVs, plus I've been honing my skills in TCG. I'm ready! Bring on the champion!

The Future

You are  reading from the genre of dystopian fiction, a type of novel that is set in a harsh, futuristic world.  Speaking of futures, what are your plans for the future?  Where would you like to see yourself in 10 to 15 years?  Now, imagine that the world as you know it vanishes.  Life is all about simply struggling to survive.  This is what happens to the characters you are about to meet.  What do you think would happen if war were to wage on our own soil?  What might happen if the government disintegrates?  Describe what your future may look like if this were the case.
In the future, I would like to be a level designer, maybe for Game Freak. I would like to move to Japan and work there making video games, maybe even work on the Pokémon games if I'm lucky enough. I think I would try to learn C++ as well as being a level designer, so maybe I can be director or something like that. I would also like to try my hand at character design for Game Freak too.
If the world became totally obliterated and controlled by a ruthless government, I think first I would try to escape, I would take my friends and my family and anyone else who wants to escape. If that didn't work, I think I would pretend to go along with everything the government does, but I would really be plotting and trying to help people escape. I would do everything I could to make the world return to something resembling its previous state.

Rules

As we begin to read The Hunger Games, I want you to think about the elements of control in your lives.  To what rules are you bound?  In other words, who makes the rules you follow?  Why are rules important?  Can rules be taken too far?  If so, how?

The rules I am bound to are the rules of law and also the rules of the are or place I am currently in, I am also bound to moral rules. The rules I follow are made by the constitution and the legislature, my parents, my teachers, and my principal. Rules are important because they help keep people in order and from unknowingly doing something wrong, rules help to keep everything neat and in order. Rules can be taken too far sometimes, like when there are too many, or there are ridiculous rules. Rules have to keep order, but they must also be fair and followable.

Victini Movie+Victini Event!!!!

The new Pokémon movie, Pokémon White: Victini and Zekrom (I think that's the name.. Whew, that's long!) is coming to theaters! YEAH! I can't wait! Well, that isn't new news, but they finally released the theater listings and Governor's Square in Clarksville is showing it! For only one weekend in December the Pokémon movie will be showing in theaters across America! Now, there are actually two movies, based off of Pokémon Black and White. I don't know when the movie for Pokémon Black will come out, but, rest assured, I will see that one too. Now if only N and Team Plasma were in there... Too bad they aren't. Also! From December the 3rd to ? (Sorry, I don't remember the end date) a special Victini will be released through a WiFi event. It will be level 50 (I think) and will come with the special move V-Create! V-Create is unobtainable through normal gameplay, and is the most powerful move ever with 180 power! (Victini can also learn Fusion Flare and Fusion Bolt, but it is unknown when this will be released.) Anyways here's the movie poster! (To the left) (This is the Japanese advertisement, it came out in Japanese theaters several months ago.)

Vote for a Pokémon!

This is old news, but vote for a Pokémon via the official website! The Pokémon with the most votes at the end will be released through the Dream World! You can choose from almost every Pokémon, and I chose Latias (because I desperately need one). But yeah, just a reminder to vote now! I think you can choose Arceus too, which was never released through a US event before (I think). So don't miss this opportunity, right now would be a great time to get a Global Link account (for those of you with Pokémon Black and White)! The added bonus: if the Pokémon has a special ability, when you get it from the Dream World, it will come with the special ability! Great time to vote for any Pokémon you don't have or you want!

Wow! I know it's not a lot, but it is a milestone! Thanks to everybody who has viewed my blog! This is really cool! *hugs people* But I do have more views on Deviant Art...... But still, thanks!
