Video Game BLog- Pokemon (Gotta Catch Em All)

If you didn’t know, I am a big Pokemon fan. However Pokemon has started to lose its luster. Pokemon is an RPG that gained popularity in Japan and other areas of the world in the late 90s. I’m going to focus primarily on the Video games, even though there is a TV show and card game.

            Pokemon is an RPG(Role Playing Game). You play as a young boy(or girl in newer ones). Your character doesn’t fight or get stronger, instead Pokemon fight your battles. They have different types such as Fire, Water, Electric, Rock, Psychic, and a few more. They also learn moves that have different elemental types. You basically just train them and try to beat Gym Leaders, which are bosses. Then you challenge the Elite 4 which are like the final boss. In the first Pokemon versions, Red, Blue, and Yellow; you had to fight your rival at the end of the game.

            I really loved Pokemon as a kid. I remember playin the games on the Gameboy Color. Later Pokemon Gold and Silver came out, which are considered to be the ultimate version of Pokemon(especially their remakes on the Nintendo DS). I would play Pokemon for hours on end. I was never really one to catch them all, but I wanted to  be the best trainer I could be.

            Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 for the N64 were great ideas. The games were very challenging, pushing your skills and pokemon to the limit. The 3d graphics were awesome and there was plenty of trainers to beat…That announcer in P.S. 1 was rather annoying however.


            Lately Pokemon has lost a lot of luster. I don’t know if its my age, being over 25 now or maybe the new games aren’t as difficult as they were in the past. I am currently trying to beat Pokemon Y. I have had it for about 2 years. Yikes! Anyways thanks for reading. I will make more video game blogs in the future.

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
