I caught a castform at the weather institute in Hoehn region today around 8:50. I also caught a female eevee at the Cottage (route 24 above cerulean) in Kanto! She’s brave and highly persistent!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!! Loved the music, loved the art, and loved the game. I really liked most of the characters. I don’t know why, but Fire Adepts just aren’t very interesting (Unless you’re Saturos). I was a little disappointed that I only got to see older Isaac and Garet. I wanted to see Felix and Piers too! Overall, I loved this game. Easy to play and follow along with. While the first two games are important, You can play this one stand alone, because they game summarizes the events with their books the Sun Saga that Matthew can collect throughout the story. I think its better to play the original Golden Sun games, but if you can’t find them or need a refresh, Dark Dawn does that. Matthew is every bit Isaac’s son, right down to his looks. His powers are virtually the same, fighting style - everything. It’s like having Isaac for a third journey, which makes everything nice and familiar. Kraden’s there too. But only for the last part of the game, and I love collecting Djinni and Summons! OVERALL, EVERYONE NEEDS TO PLAY THIS.
[spoilers]So I don’t think Mia’s going to be too happy about her daughter (Nowell) running off to sail the world with Piers. I can’t blame Nowell for it though. I mean, Piers is awesome! He’s a capable sailor, as Kraden said (when Rief asked if his sister was going to be okay). I just went, Kraden, you left her alone with Piers. He may be a capable sailor but can he deal with a woman? SRSLY? Rief, I’m more worried about Piers once Mia finds out. Speaking of Mia, I don’t remember it in the first one, but Alex (my favorite) is her cousin and betrayed the family. I knew he was a water adept and a traitor. But I don’t specifically remember him being part of the Mercury Clan. So that brings me to Arcanus, who IS Alex, the game finally stated so. And that Amiti’s father is someone related to Mia. A powerful water adept, part of the Mercury clan directly related to Mia (according to Tret). HMMMM. ALEX. Of course, the game never outright says it. But Amiti looks just like him too. SO YAY. I think its fairly obvious that Alex is his father.
When the chaos hound came on screen and it was friendly towards Sveta, I went “OH SHIT. It’s her brother!” and the party didn’t realize that until after we kicked his butt. URK. But I knew. I KNEW. So he saved us in the end and everyone went home where a huge portal looked like it was gonna suck everything in and then the screen went black with white text: The end…?[/spoilers]
OMA, the end is totally not the end! DANGIT. ;_; <3 I’m so happy and frustrated. xD;

I have no idea what I’m going to play now. I have several games I can pick up. But I’m wondering if I should take a break and read a book or focus a bit more on my school work. But that would be lame, focusing on schoolwork?! Haha, plus new Dragon Quest comes out in February. I’ll have to see what I have, since some games I promised to play alongside of Cherri. I could finish up Rune Factory 2, I suppose. I don’t know where I am though, so I’d have to start over.
I also have no idea what to do my timeline project on this week! I need to do that tomorrow for sure. I’m still pushing it off. D;
