So I'm Certainly Not The First Person To Notice This But I've Literally Never Seen Anyone Else Talk About

Cereal Debate

Totally not me right now

PokePinion-Tober 12-15

So I may have missed a few days, but I'm here now.

So far we've done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, Eglyem, Dusclops, Axew, Bulbasaur, Raticate, and Hattrem

12 Dratini

Noodle!

This is probably in my top 10 favourites from Gen 1, because it's a noodle. The nose is so big compared to the itty bitty face.

It's so small and so precious. It looks so smooth, like a noodle.

8/10. Noodle

13 Pincurchin

He looks so done with everyone's bullshit.

It's very small and I like that. The two littles balls at the front of the face is odd, but in a cute way. Also the eyes being downward arrows is cute.

I would hate to step on him.

7/10. Prickly little guy.

14. Clefairy

Look at how pink it is!!! I love the little blush stickers and the hair curl and the little tooth!

This is my little baby. I also enjoy the Clefairy minigame in Pokémon Stadium, as frustrating as it can be

8/10. Baby pink thing

15. Tympole

I like the music elements in the design. The little eyebrows look like notes, and it looks like it's wearing headphones.

The blue they used is very fresh and compliments the black accents. Cute, but honestly kind of forgettable to me as I usually use Oshawott in Unova and only in two other game sets (ORAS, and SwSh)

6/10. Above average, but forgettable.

They Wish They Were Us: Book Review

Me and my partner both read his book and we want to share out joy with y'all! (I was forced to read it by Ice, and I still liked it.)

So, if you haven't read the book/are still reading it, stop reading this post if you do not want spoilers! Besides that, let's begin!

Alright so They Wish They Were Us (or TWTWU for simplicities sake) is a book about teenager Jill Newman who is entering her senior year of high school. She is part of an elite group called the players. They party hard, have all the answer sheets, and a brutal induction process.

About a year before the book starts Jill's friend and fellow player Shalia was murdered and all the blame is on her boyfriend Graham but Jill starts getting messages from Grahams's sister pledging his innocence.

The book also has heavy mentions and examples of sex, drinking, vaping, drugs, and hazing. Consider these things before reading further in this review or picking the book up for yourself. [Especially if you can't handle subjects like these.]

So! *Handclap* that was the summary from my partner, now. Let's talk about what we thought of the book. I'll go first!

So, as a person who doesn't really read, I was recommended the book by my partner when she was reading it in class. (I do this a lot) So, when I went to Indigo! to pick a copy up and read it. I must say, I would recommend it too!

Jessica Goodman's writing style is legible and has a bit of a lower reading level. But it makes the flow of the book smoother, so audiences can follow along better.

I can doubly agree! Even as someone who often times prefers books written for an older audience, this book continued to engage me with it's twists and turns. Even though I was never part of an elite high school group, I felt like I was truly there with Jill and experiencing the chaos for myself.

One of my favourite parts of the book is seeing Jill slowly realize that the players aren't that great. One way this is done is by showing flashbacks of Jill and Shalia's induction process where they were pressured into drinking, smoking, undressing. Another way this is shown is when Jill's brother Jared is joining the players and Jill see's how it changes him for the worse.

The book also shows that as much as Jill disagrees with what the players do, she feels like she can't leave because of her scholarship. She needs to keep her grades up to stay in the school and the players give her an answer sheet so she can't fail.

Besides that! What about the flaws? Not all books are perfect after all!

They Wish They Were Us, besides the long title. There are a LOT of flashbacks. Not bad, but sometimes they get in the way of the last 30 pages of the book. Although they are usually really important to the plot and the storyline. Also, I understand that the Players were a huge group in the book, but it felt like there were too many characters to remember, and I sometimes get them mixed up. Also, just generally if you accidentally stop paying attention to the page [Especially earlier and later in the book.] you get confused. Then you have to re-read that paragraph. (Not sure if it's just me though.)

And, the Paper-back edition of the book has worse durability than a McDonalds' play-place trampoline. So, if you tend to bend, chip or peel up the covers of your book, take the hardcover... Even if it has a weird slide-off cover. j us t t a ke the ha rd c ov er. (I had the paperback, and my partner had the hardcover.)

Last thing to mention on my half, THE BOOK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN STORES HALF OF THE TIME, MY COPY WAS THE LAST COPY IN THE ENTIRE INDIGO! Other than that,

amazing job Jessica Goodman! you got me into reading again :D

I mean my biggest issue with the book was a plot line that got brought up then completely dropped. After an issue that leads Jill to not having answer sheets anymore, teachers start noticing her declining performance. Jill meets with her principal who kinda sorta threatens the safety of her scholarship. This never comes up after the chapter ends. Most of the issues that Air had didn't really apply to me but I'm just a weirdo who remembers like everything I read so *shrugs*.

But let's stop focusing on the negatives and talk about favourite scenes! One of my favs is when Jill takes part in the Road Rally. It's basically a giant scavenger hunt used as a way to weed out the pussies. With challenges like vaping with teachers and stealing, it places character morals in jeopardy.

Another one of my favourites was a flashback (sorry Air) [Awe come on man :( ] where Shalia takes a bullet for Jill and chugs some QuEsTiOnAbLe Alcohol. It shows both the irresponsibility of the players and how good of a friend Shalia is! Okay, my turn to talk about my favourite bits of the book.

My favourite scenes is whenever Nikki is in it, doing something crazy. Same with on the last few chapters of the book. Jill fighting Adam. Although it wasn't intense, it was still interesting either way. Same with the final scene, when everything about The Players goes up in flames. I JUST REALLY LIKED THEM, NO REASON, I LI K E D TH E M.

So, what have we learned? TWTWU was a phenomenal book (though does have a few issues plot wise, as all books do!)

I hope you enjoyed reading our humble review and maybe consider adding They Wish They Were Us to your personal reading list! That's all folks! Hope you have a great rest of your day! And... Happy Reading!

Sex ed... It happened.

So... I was in class today with my friend, and it was Sex ed.

We were doing Kahoot! and just hanging out until this question came up: "What would happen if the testosterone levels in a female rises?" or something along those lines-

Then somebody asked my teacher "Wait, does this mean a girl can grow a penis if they have more testosterone?"

Then, my teacher had to explain to the WHOLE class, that girls can't grow a penis if that happens.

(Right after that, somebody though people pooped through their urethra.)

Spooky day is inching closer and closer!

So far we've done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, Eglyem, Dusclops, Axew, Bulbasaur, Raticate, and Hattrem, Dratini, Pincurchin, Clefairy, and Tympole

22 Happiny

I mean of all of the useless babies, this one felt the most useless

Like of all things why on earth would you give Chansey a baby? It's at least a little cute though. The evolution method is also really stupid, like why an oval stone.

It makes no sense.

6/10. Cuteness can't save confusion

23 Shiinotic

Look at the little guy!!!

I love mushrooms so a pink cutesy mushroom is a great design to me. It's super duper cute, but also creepy with how it lures people into the forest.

Perfect for Halloween and great for me.

My friend also thinks it's cute and what she says goes.

8/10. The lower body looks like an Igglybuff.

23 Persian

This is one of the worst Pokemon designs ever.

It's seriously just a cat. Not even the name is interesting, when I was googling the picture the first like 7 things, were the actual cat

2/10. boring

24 Dustox

I like Dustox a lot. Sure it's an early game bug so it's not super useful, but it does look pretty badass.

The green and purple go really nicely together, and I like the little smile it has. makes it look like it's scheming

Also I really like the shiny.

8/10. Mothman does good

25 Palpitoad

Well we did Tympole, and now we got the ugly evolution.

Like it takes everything I liked about Tympole, and just removed and left an ugly frog.

3/10. Worse Tympole

26 Pawmot

Alright, this art had a lot of personality and it's cute.

Not honestly a huge fan of Pawmot. It's not bad by any means, but the design never did much for me. The evolution is also so annoying to actually acomplish.

6/10. not bad but not for me

27 Wiglet

This guy is so stupid.

In the good way of course. Of all things, I didn't expect Diglett to get any new attention after the Aloaln form, but I was wrong.

I used a Wiglett in my Violet playthrough, and it sucked, but it was still really cute

7/10. weird but cute

28 Croagunk

Honestly, I forgot how much I actually enjoyed gunky boy. One of the cooler Sinnoh lines with the nice colours.

I also love the teal shiny. Also he could pull off Crazy Frog pretty well.

8/10. Let's get gunky

29 Crustle

He looks so mad at everything.

Grumpy crab using a rock as a shell is certainly a concept, and it works pretty well. It also has another really cool shiny with the lime green accents.

Also I call Dwebble, Dweeble.

8/10. Crab time

30 Exegutor

I hate spelling this.

I like Alolan Exegutor way kore than the original, but this is the one the generator gave me.

The faces are just a little too weird for me, and the weird palm tree body doesn't help.

4/10. Taking a point away for the spelling.

31 Tapu Bulu

Way to end on a bang with a legendary.

Unfortunately Tapu Bulu is my least favourite of the Tapu's, but it's not bad.

The body is a super funky shape, which helps it stand out from other Pokemon, and the red compliments the yellow.

I also like the bull imagery with the hoof arms and bell tail

6/10. Not a personal favourite, but alright.

Happy Halloween Y'all!!!

Team Star Headcanons!

Everyone put their spare dorm key on a differently coloured lanyard and the keys get traded around a lot.

Penny's room is (somehow) not the messiest. that award goes to Atticus where only he can navigate the room without stepping on sewing pins or sliding on fabric.

Mela gives a lot of her art projects to her friends.

Ortega, Giacomo, and Atticus are a dangerous combination as they all will (and have) stay up all night working on projects. They don't stop each other either.

Mela and Giacomo take general studies, Atticus and Eri take humanities, and Penny and Ortega take STEM.

They have a lot of impromptu sleepovers, often times starting at midnight because someone was having nightmares.

Eri is the epitome of "Mom Friend". She's always reminding the team to eat, drink, sleep, take breaks as needed. Eri is the friend we all need

They all pretend that they're over the bullying and it doesn't freak them out as much but their all lying.

Clavell became a father figure to he whole team don't @ me

Pokepinion-tober: 6

Let's fuck shit up.

So far: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, and Delibird

6 Elgyem

Look at the little baby! It's so cute!

Honestly this is the essential alien Pokémon, no question. It keeps the simple classic green alien look to it but is still unique with the blinky light hands and head symbol.

I love the name too. Elgyem is a pun/word funsie on little green man.

L.G.M-El.GY.Em.

Cute while not feeling too punny and still original.

I also love the glowing green eyes. They're so BIG and INNOCENT and he looks like he wants to give you a hug but it's an alien.

7/10. My silly alien baby will always be precious.
