Pokemon, Snow and Never Was
So everyone on my F-list knows that I went back to Never Was. While I'm still easing my way in, I still kinda feel like there's a few people unhappy with my return. Call it a hunch,but the phrase "You inconveniced a few people" says a lot about what people feel about me. Reception to my return is somewhat lukewarm. I've already started to ignore chat.
Aw well, it's none of my concern if people think ill of me. I need to rebuild that thick skin of mine. And as such, instead of returning with a previous character, I apped Snow Villiers from FFXIII. As such, he is very easy to play, and provides a wealth of character growth to explore since he isn't l'Cie and to boot, from very early in the storyline too. He's already experienced a bit of emasculation from Vanille and Lightning, obviously, thinks he won't be of any use without his powers.
We'll see how this works out. I'm mostly staying because of Serah anyhow.
Now then, to review business. Gotta Catch a Gible is this weekends latest episode of Pokemon. Having taught a Gible how to use Draco Meteor successfully in the previous episode, Ash and Co are confronted by said Gible that has followed them to the next town. And the Gible is a menace. It's pretty much also two rocks short of a full quarry since it seems to have the attention span of a Venonat. A walking devouring menace, it eats most of a park, Barry's Bike and Team Rocket's first Blastoise mech. As such, we have Ash getting a new Problem Pokemon. Most of them are well behaved, but once in a while he gets a Pokemon that is just downright hard to handle. That, and it likes to gnaw on his head. And other people's heads.
Some physical observations while watching this episode speaks of Ash's athletic prowess. The kid over the ten years of travel has seriously picked up strength and stamina. Surviving on the road with the bare minimum of funds and camping out does wonders, just ask any training montage. But because of his close proximity to life and death, he's managed to perform Feats of Strength that are just over the top. Like leaping over a canyon, catching onto the other side, scrambling up and flipping up onto the other side.
Yeah. He's definitely athletic.
The inclusion of Barry into the episode was a fun thing, if only for the point that he proves a point that Bikes can't last for more than one episode. And it showcased just how ridiculous Gible was too.
5/5 for this episode. Fun writing all around.
