The More Things Change...

The More They Stay The Same.

How do I put this, I do not see myself returning to the Pokemon TCG until atleast September as of now.

I've cut down to make space for Pokemon, I realy did.

I have all but quit Transformers due to a general loathing of the new direction.

I cut down on game purchases, I only bought one in the whole of June/July I believe, being Dragon Quest IV DS for $30AUD.

I have never bought many DVDs, so that isn't a problem.

But new things take the place of others, ya know?

I love the new GI Joe RoC line, so that replaced TF. Sure is one hell of alot cheaper though.

Mum started collecting Doctor Who/Torchwood and a few other DVD series, so my game money went there.

There are a few boxsets I have my eye one, one of which being quite expensive. So, new expence.

I probably value my figures higher than I do my cards, which makes it harder to go "No, I won't get the Cobra Gunship so I can play Pokemon this fortnight."

Eh.

Pokedex Continued

Haven't done a Pokedex entry in ages. I've decided on the end though. Dratini-Dragonair-Dragonite will be the "Finale Draco" and Latias/Latios will be the Game representitives. I don't like "Secret Pokemon", so Mew/Celebi/Jirachi/Manaphy and Shamin, you'r cut. Yeah, I contradicted myself, I said 151, I am going 150.

I have good reason for Dratini's line. Out of their "Formula", Larvitar, Beldum, Bagon and Gabite, it is the most balanced. It's not stupidly strong, Bagon and Gabite, a fucking Cannon Fortress, Metagross or a super irritating and strong lead in, Tyranitar. Yeah, if you can guess, Chansey and Snorlax are so cut.

+Dragonite Line

For version exclusives/representitives we have Lugia/Ho-oh, Groudon/Kyogre, the Secret Lati@s and then Dialga/Palkia.

Going backwards, Dialga and Palkia are asthesicly unpleasing, to easy to catch, Dialga's wallness being too big and Palkia having a typing shared by an already annoying pokemon(Kingdra).

The Lati@s duo are good for a few reasons, Asthesicly pleasing, well typed but not too well typed, diverse moveset and strong, but not too strong. I like everything to have a chance.

The Ecoterrorists are too good for their own good, sharing a trait with Tyranitar, damn useful and too strong. I am not a fan of that. And they're ugo's.

Ho-Oh and Lugia. I love them, but I don't feel they fit where I am going. Something just feels off about them. So we now have
