WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 3/4-3/10/13!

WEEKLY ROUND-UP PRESENTS

7. WORD OF THE DAY! 3/5/13! Festoon.

We still do not know Ninfia AKA Sylveon's typing and no other Pokémon X & Y spoilers or even solid rumors have emerged in a week. Therefore, we also don't know what its bows are for either.

6. WORD OF THE DAY! 3/7/13! Disintegrate.

Speaking of disintegration, am I the only one that sees all the awesome Cartoon Network shows that are being canceled or retired in their prime?

5. WORD OF THE DAY! 3/10/13! Beeper.

Expanded Side Note: Bob Pataki was a close-minded workaholic bully who's greed, pride, and gluttony constantly threatened the welfare of his friends and family-- and his own health!

4. WTF WED! WTF WED! CHIPMUNKS HUNTING FOR DRAGON POKÉBALLS!

I don't gotta apologize for jack**** when it comes to this previous week's WTF triple feature meal deal that ranged from benign to bizarre-- with Two Men & A Chipmunk, Kentucky Fried Dragon Balls, and a big ol' bowl of Pokébullocks.

3. MUSICAL MON! CAVE STORY W/ LYRICS!

DOWNLOAD THIS GAME & ENGLISH LANG. PACK FOR FREE! Avail. on Nintendo DS & Wii-- also PC & MAC.

2. WORD OF THE DAY! 3/9/13! Double Standard.

I liked Anita Sarkeesian's even-handed approached to the first video in here series but I also agree with criticism from commentators like the Amazing Atheist about why she should enable comments.

#382 KYOGRE, #383 GROUDON, & #384 RAYQUAZA

Not much needs to be said about Pokémon of the Week-- but I want to talk about it anyways. I rather enjoying writing these rather casual articles that combine my relationship with the franchise, with various levels of nostalgia, a smidgin of research, some criticism, and some laughs that ultimately serve to continue to remind me about why I love the series; I love the Pokémon (except for, and yet somehow, including Bidoof).

WORD OF THE DAY! 3/8/13!

uber [oo-ber]
adverb
1. Having a specified property to an excessive or extreme degree; very.
adjective
2. Designating a person or thing that exceeds the limits of a normal example of its kind or class.

EX. Hey, Genesect! Move aside for the original uber Legendary Pokémon from my childhood!


What's that good readers? You would like to know what separates uber Pokémon from the lesser peasants in the other tiers? Let's see what specifics a Pokemon needs to be declared in the uber tier for the competitive scene. An uber Pokémon, simply, has to be defined by usually Smogon or Pokémon online as being far too powerful for the standard metagame. Many of these Pokémon have a combination of stats, moves, typings, and abilities that give them an edge against most Pokémon and, according to Smogon, Genesect will soon join the ranks of Groudon, Reshiram, and Wobuffet. Yes, Wobuffet is uber because with an ability to prevent Pokémon from escaping he can switch in with his huge health stat and then kill an opponent's Pokémon with a Counter or Mirror Coat faster than you can "WAH!"
