not a part of the challenge, but a witch costume based on a ghost pokemon (based on a witch). i just figured it's be a cute thing to fill out the one remaining day. xD

while i still haven't played gen 5, i picked Woobat simply because he's a bucktoothed dust bunny with a heart-stamped snout and teensy little bat wings. what more could i want? xD

in gen 1 i go with Grey, which is a compromise between his established names, Gary and Green.
for gen 2 i call him Golden, and name myself Sylvia, even though it's supposed to be the other way around.
gen 3 doesn't let you name your rival. in gen 4 the rival reminds me of Impulse (a Flash sidekick) so i name him Bart.

i had a good birthday week

song+ the surprisingly good pokemon X/Y sounds
book+ nothing
quest+ um.. no idea
upper+ Pokemon!
downer+ my photo-sensitivity headaches have returned
attire+ black pants and a blue tank
drink+ strawberry kiwi juice

i totally thought it was still Saturday, which is why this is going up later than usual. i had a good birthday week, i saw mom Tuesday, Thursday was lunch with James then ice cream after work with Moose. Friday i had lunch with Michelle, then tagged along with her to our ward's Trunk or Treat. it was a pretty good time. of course i've still been playing Pokemon most of my waking hours too.

i got my queen bee costume pulled together in time and i wore it out. with the exception of one person guessing fairy godmother, it went over pretty well. i don't think i'm doing anything on actual-Halloween, so there's no need for much else costuming-wise.

really i've spent a week playing pokemon pretty much all the time i'm awake so i've got seriously nothing to talk about. still feeling pretty good.

Ho-Oh is the mascot for HeartGold, which is my favorite to play. Gen 2 gives you the best value really, with two regions of gyms to battle through, and the remakes make it even more awesome by being the only games where you can have ANY of the (at that point) existing 493 pokemon follow you around. it's freakin ADORABLE! so yeah, love me some HGSS, and since i let Kyu pick and he took SS for himself, HG all the way!

most of the single-form pokemon from gen 1 have gained a baby form, or a bizarre evolution by now, but not poor Pinsir, in spite of his counterpart getting a sleek upgrade in gen 2.

can't help loving the ghost balloon that wants to be a badass that drags souls to the underworld, but is a balloon, and therefore lacks the strength to even budge a small child. (by the time it evolves into a hot air balloon it can move adults, but no longer wants to, preferring to seek out happiness and join in revelry)

okay, so i LOVE the first two forms of this family so much that the goofy round puffy mess that Dragonite is is almost offensive to me. i NEVER let my Dragonair evolve into Dragonite, like i'd rather have my team marginally weaker than run one of these things. ugh. i suppose there are goofier designs, but the main issue i have with it is the bulky roundness of everything about it after the sleek designs of the prior forms.

i think for sheer difficulty combined with a surprisingly awesome design, Lorelai of the gen 1 Elite Four is my favorite. i was disappointed when i played gen 2 and she and Agatha had retired, but i remember cursing her Dewgong, and since i think she maybe had 2 i think that it could be called a signature pokemon?

for grass, the gen 4 Turtwig is my super-favorite. for fire, the gen 1 Charmander is my pick, and for water i think the gen 2 Totodile. all of which are also fortunate enough to evolve into awesomely strong powerhouses.

it's been a good week

song+ the surprisingly good pokemon X/Y sounds
book+ nothing
quest+ selling more doll stuff
upper+ Pokemon X and Y are mine!
downer+ i'm kinda cold
attire+ pajamas
drink+ milk

last Tuesday i sold two of the girls i'd had endless trouble trying to bond with to mom, and Thursday i got to game stop and picked up the new pokemon (and the system to play it) for myself and for Kyu. i then proceeded to play it more or less without rest for the next three days. granted across two game carts, so neither is super far in, but i'm really enjoying it.my first substantive break was yesterday, when Jenni picked me up so we could sew our blocks for the quilt class together. i took it along, but only played in bursts for a bit. then when i made it home i finally fell asleep. just got up now actually.

that's all i've got for this week. sorry. next week should be better when the haze lifts some. i'm honestly surprised with myself that i remembered to post today at all.

gonna have to go with the one that's not senile or completely incompetent. seriously, disregarding the "are you a boy or a girl" they all ask for gameplay reasons, Professor Oak spends all his time doing a radio show, and can't remember his own grandson's name. Professor Elm is stumped by an egg, all "WHAT IS THIS THING AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM?!" and in the remakes he's a little less idiotic, but he still got robbed by a teenager, and failed to do much of anything that mattered. Professor Birch is introduced to you as he's being chased by a WEAK wild pokemon and he can't get to his bag to use any of the 3 pokemon he has waiting, one of which YOU USE to rescue him. also, he depends on his kid to do anything notable relating to his career.

Professor  Rowan though, he says sensible things, he has an assistant, but actually does fieldwork! he's really the first professor to come across as even marginally intelligent, so really when he does something professor-y it seems even more amazing. (also i kinda suck at drawing dudes, sorry)

since my lest favorite story encounter was already covered, for this one i piked the one thing i HATE running into as a random encounter. in the wild a repel keeps away anything weaker than your lead pokemon for a given number of steps. while surfing the level range is wider so even with a repel there's a high likelihood of your level 20ish anything being ambushed by a level 30ish Tentacool and not being able to run. you don't generally wanna fight them either because water routes are HEAVILY populated with rival trainers and you don't wanna waste your moves in junk battles.

a good psychic can carry an otherwise lacking team through a good chunk of story in any pokemon game, and third gen gave us an option that didn't need trading to evolve to a useful level. plus it's a prettier design, and some of us are shallow and unashamed of their preference for pretty things.

okay so i know this thing doesn't look scary, but you can only get one if this other bug evolves while you have an empty pokeball and space in your active lineup for it. basically it's the discarded carapace of another bug, inhabited by a malevolent spirit. those aren't wings, it's the backside ripped violently open for the evolving thing to break free, and it's said if you look into the hole on the backside, your soul will be devoured. GUESS WHAT YOU SEE DIRECTLY IF YOU SEND IT INTO BATTLE?

Mareep and it's immediate evolution Flaafy make me think of mom. the third form (Ampharos) not so much as it's no longer anything sheepy at all.

overall i'm not a fan of the pre-evolutions, but Happiny is probably the one i hate least.

lost track of time a bit

song+ Team -Lorde -Pure Heroine
book+ Lego Batman guide
quest+ selling some doll stuff
upper+ new pokemon game looks awesome
downer+ i'm limited to enjoying it vicariously
attire+ pajamas
drink+ strawberry kiwi juice

i kinda didn't realize it was Sunday again already. haven't managed to sleep since i woke up Friday, just not very tired, which is a little troubling, but i've dealt with worse, so we'll see what happens.

i lost most of my weekend lurking the "pokemon xy" tag on tumblr reading all the awesome that people who could afford the games (and system too) are experiencing. it's entertaining, though admittedly not terribly productive at all. in between that, i dug out the boxes, shipping pillow-bags, Certificates of Authenticity, and spare human parts for my Soom Adamelli twins. it's preparation for finally getting around to selling them, since i've been unable to properly bond with them for years now. i've tried, they're just not meant for me i guess, no matter how much i enjoy their design aesthetic.

i also spent some time playing Lego Batman, which is still awesomely fun years later, but not very long gameplay-wise. really things have been pretty chill around here, not much to talk about.

the racially insensitive design got a recolor between initial release and translation. the purple skin was initially straight black, this really isn't much of an improvement.

most tragically misunderstood hellbeast ever. i just wanna hug them all and make everything better. their flames are their internal fluids coughed up, and it's said that if you're burned by one, it NEVER STOPS HURTING, but they only breathe fire in reaction to overt aggression, or intimidation. they're actually drawn to happiness as a safety precaution and live in packs that look after each other.

gotta love the mutated kitten-thing with glow in the dark markings.

i love October weather

song+ White Teeth Teens -Lorde -Pure Heroine
book+ nothing?
quest+ Halloween costume i guess?
upper+ done with 30 pokemon drawings
downer+ sleeping's been hard this week
attire+ pajamas
drink+ water

i was a little sick last Monday, and it's thrown off my sleep patterns for the last few days. like i'm still doing my best to sleep at normal-people times (which has been an ongoing effort for the last month or so), but it's been less 11-6 (or whatever) and more 2am-noon which isn't what i'm wanting.

when i did sleep last night i had a dream of a vacation that inspired me to design a modular art-deco inspired showgirl(ish) concert performance costumes for a pop star's next tour, themed Queen of the Night. i actually vaguely remember a few of the designs (but not the pop star), but it was a strange dream. like that kind of hyper detailed world building where you kinda think, "wow brain, you've really been bored lately huh?" and it's too much of everything to be real. too much detail, too much color, too much sensation. interesting as hell though.

i dunno, now that my last challenge has wrapped there's no sense of immediacy to move on to something new yet. i'm thinking about my Halloween costume, but there's really not much left to do for it, and several weeks to go still. basically i just have to figure out shorts or a skirt for it, and dig my tiara out of the box of costuming things it's stored in, then i'll have everything on-hand. still no idea what i'll be doing for it, but it's my favorite holiday, so i definitely wanna do a costume.

the weather's been pleasantly cool the last few days, which means the AC's been left off and our apartment has hovered at a perfectly comfortable temp instead of shifting from frigid to stifling every few hours. it's been great. no idea if Kyu agrees since he's been working a con this weekend, but i've been comfy at least. xD
