I fell in love today

This afternoon I decided to go on a walk, admittedly it was to check out the new Pokemon GO event, which I am currently living for. Along the way I took pictures and actually enjoyed my surroundings. I don't think I have ever appreciated Autumn as much as I did today. It was inspiring and I loved being amongst the autumnal colours and it most refreshing. My walk inspired me to write a poem, as I was walking I was piecing it together in  my head, it wasn't set out to be a poem just a thought process but then when I returned home with many more Pokemon, I sculpted it together and below you have my poem alongside a very gorgeous picture I took today.

I fell in love today
With the patchy sky so grey 
Soggy leaves beneath my feet 🍁🍃
They beam at me with autumnal thoughts 
The trees above me🌳
Losing their leaves🍂
As I'm gaining my faith
Stepping through the autumn🍃🍂🍁
It's cold outside
But the colours warm me
Orange Greens and yellows 🍁🍂🍃
Welcoming passing ivory 

I fell in love today...

Pokemon Go

This isn't really a creative piece just a little post about the new app Pokemon Go. Firstly, let's begin with that I am practically obsessed with it. I played the Gameboy Games growing up, and I even followed them onto the DS and 3DS etc. This app is everything a Pokemon fan would adore, it's not only bringing back those precious childhood memories, it allows you explore your city and go searching in reality for all your favourite Pokemon, it also allows you to use and share the Pokemon knowledge you gained as a child, like finally something you can use that information for and look like a bad ass for doing so. I love the fact the weather, time and place effects the Pokemon around you, it is amazing. I find myself going on little walks just to reach the distances for my eggs to hatch, which is obviously good for my Pokedex but my health as well. It gives me a chance to geek out a little when my friend asks what Pokemon does the shadow belong to and I can reply instantly without a second thought. Since the release of this app, I think I have been seeing my friends and even some family members more due to our need to go out catching more Pokemon, finally something all my friends are practically involved in, thank god for Pokemon Go!  It is definitely a huge advance in the gaming industry, no doubt there will be more gaming companies jumping onto the virtual reality bandwagon! 

 

- My favourite catch so far is a Growlithe in my living room, yes I am incredibly lucky!

Pulperising Piplup

Graphic title I know. For those who don't know I am a huge Pokemom fan I have been for years. Ever since I found a gold block that fitted into my square Nintendo SP (that gold square being pokemon heart gold) and so I played that and well I had no clue what I was doing (for instance teaching a Charmander dig - I now cry about that) and since then I learned and found souls silver (forever my favourite game). I then went onto playing the DS and bought bought the games and to this day I still do. My favourite pokemon are Cyndaquil and Piplup. Along with the main games I play the myster dungeon ones.  I am loving the Y and X games,especially with this year's events. Earlier this month a got Mew and next month Celebi!! Well recently I decided to go back  to Pokemon Myster Dungeon Explorers of Darkness. I restarted and so I've been playing and well it is frustrating. As always through the questions I got Charmander and as always I choose Piplup as my partner (kind of regretting) and well we are so far into the game where we are in the quick sand caves.  And honestly? Piplup is pissing me off. Not only are we bashing again storms (which reduces health) and fighting our way to the next staircase he always gets himself into trouble. He takes on too much, and well we were down to minimal health and the storm keeps coming. We enter a floor where the stairs are near, and oh look a sleeping pokemon. Neither of us have the health to take another beating (conicedently freshly out of Oran berries) so we sneak up but no Piplup has to throw a bubble thing at it and guess what he misses so it attacks him and he dies and we are beamed off. It's annoying because this isn't even a one time thing, I'm always the one taking a beating and he's just a prick really. I've taken a step back because quite frankly I want to punch piplup. I adore the games and he is a helpful partner but by god he's always the one getting killed and taking the team down...
So yeah I had to rant somewhere about the myster dungeon frustration. I sometimes wish it would let me carry on without him, like we would get further or better yet I wish Piplup had some common sense!
