Pokemon Black, Black Version 2, X & Y Greeted Me A Happy Birthday!

First of all, I would like to greet you (readers if any) a merry holiday! It's Christmas and also my birthday today! Happy birthday to me and to all Pokemon trainers who have their birthday today!

And of course, I would like to thank my game cartridge for greeting me a happy birthday. Please, don't think I'm insane. I am just surprised. The story is, I'm on a double time to complete my legendary Pokemons in Black Version 2 game, you know, Pokebank will soon to be release on December 26th (that's tomorrow) and i would like to transfer them there. The time i visited the Pokemon center, Nurse Joy greeted me a happy birthday, that's surprising (see screenshots below):

Birthday Greeting In Pokemon Black & Black Version 2
I'm thinking of selecting 'No' but i'm afraid she wouldn't ask me again and no more birthday greeting to me.

Thank You Nurse Joy!

I can't promise you that Nurse Joy. I'm just playing Pokemon Black & Black Version 2 to get Legendary Pokemon.



I also checked my Pokemon X & Y game and it is more surprising. Upon entering Pokemon center, the light is dim (see below):

Birthday Greeting In Pokemon X & Y
And there was pop of confetti. Well, this is more surprising than the birthday greeting i received in Pokemon Black & Black version 2.

Thanks for the confetti. Where's my pokecake?

Don't shout at me! There's three people in this room and they're staring at us!
And i also got my birthday cake. (check their spherical screen below):
Oh, that's my cake! My virtual cake?! (see spherical screen above)

Yes.

You bet! Perhaps you can give me a shiny pokemon as a gift. I'll be more than happy!

Merry X-Mas To All Pokemon Trainers!!!

Pokemon Plastic Model Kit No. 25: Terrakion of the Sword of Justice

Pokemon Figure Name: Terrakion
Model Kit Maker: Bandai
Pokemon Model Kit Number: 25
Price (in PH peso): 420.00 php. / [390.00 php. if you have a membership card & paid with cash]
Where To Buy: GreatToysOnline.com / GreatToysOnline.com Shoppesville, Greenhills Branch

I was collecting Pokemon plastic models before when i was young. As far as i can remember, they're made by Tomy before and unfortunately they didn't survived as i age. Now that I'm back as a Pokefan again, I'm continuing the collection anew now with the Bandai plastic model versions.

I did look for more detailed Pokemon toys. As I observed, most of them were more of kiddie type qualities. Then, I found some made by Bandai, my favorite plastic model kit maker. You know, I'm a Gunpla collector too, I only collect MGs (here's a link to my Gunpla review blog: http://gunplassacre.tumblr.com/). Yes, I found Pokemon plastic model kit made by them, I'm expecting a good details to their figures and i think i'm expecting it just right. By the way, some hobbyist called it Pokepla!

I'm Gunpla & Pokepla collector now! Officially.

The first Pokepla I'm going to review is this big fat Pokemon named Terrakion. He was featured in the Pokemon Movie 15: Kyurem v.s. The Sword of Justice. I'm not really looking for this kit but it's the only cool Pokepla available at my favorite toy store - GreatToysOnline.com

It took me, I think 35 minutes to finish this kit and do some panel linings. It's very easy than Gunpla:

New Nintendo Generation

It's been a decade now since i last played Pokemon Yellow ROM in my PC. Yes, I'm not playing the official cartridge game in Gameboy Color as I couldn't afford to buy another handheld game console back those years. I only have the original classic Gameboy Transparent edition which amazingly survived for that long eventually placed inside the bin and gone. My taste for Nintendo games grew weary as i age. My interest change. I became a gamer of Sony Playstation (PSOne) to Playstation 2 (PS2) then to PC games and so on.

But upon knowing the news about the latest generation of Pokemon game in 3D, I became interested and wanting to have my own 3DS.

So, I bought my 3DS XL. It feels like my younger days having my classic Gameboy Transparent box. I regret not taking care of that ancient handheld console.


I am amazed to the 3D screen. I feel like living in North Korea for a decade and escaped the country to try this technology. I already saw a 3D T.V. screen but not a device with 3D screen, in-hand. Very cool!
