Bad:

• Terrible wannabe Final Fantasy style intro. It takes itself too seriously but it's not good enough to be believable and this grates on me. I want pokemon to be light hearted and fun, whenever they do this epic shit it's just a distraction from becoming Pokemon League champion. ¬¬

• 3D environments = pointless showing off just for the sake of having something new to put in a trailers. Takes too long to move around certain places and doesn't enrich gameplay in any way.

• I miss seeing your pokemon following you around like they did in HG/SS, I liked being able to talk to them... it was cute. ;3;

• Your two friends/rivals are unbearably annoying. I never cared about them before, you always have stupid rivals like Gary and whatever that guy's called in Pearl and they just pop up now and again to fight you but everyone in this game is SO DAMN ANNOYING. They're always there bothering you for battles or help with something pointless all the time, they have the STUPIDEST MOST IRRITATING pokemon ever in their teams and even their sprites are ugly. Cheren is the WORST pokemon character in history. I haven't hated a character this much since Mitsunari. Someone just copied and pasted that Ishida guy from Bleach into the game but took away the few things that made him bearable and gave him a Snivy (because obviously I chose Wotter, who is a legend).

• Gym leaders are all lame this gen. I just beat some artist guy whose gym is made of honey. WTF.

• "N" is also a prick.

So I went mad on Pokemon Time.

I was thinking about making a separate graphics journal but then I figured it'd end up as one of those projects that I start and never do anything else to, so I'm dumping a couple background tiles of Eevee here - if anyone wants to use them then feel free.

• My mum was taken in to hospital so for the past week my life has been: go to hospital, come back from hospital, do washing, make food, sleep, repeat. My brothers are more of a hindrance than a help. I am exhausted. Sorry if I don't reply to comments.

• Closer than ever to quitting college. Mel is a giant bitch and doesn't understand why I might not feel like (or even have the fucking time for) doing college work at the moment. She also decided to give David a hard time for, you know, supporting me. I may have to quit college just for the reason that if I see her, I'll want to punch her.

• Haven't played much of SoulSilver. I do have lots of steps on my pokewalker though and Phione loves me and keeps getting presents for me. :p

• Thank you, [profile] fastolf for my easter package! ♥ ♥ ♥ You sent it to my old address but it got redirected anyway so it's all good. XD The malteser bunny things are sooooo gooooood, I wish they sold them all year round (um yeah I started eating stuff already). And the Stig egg cup is awesome, I hope it wasn't too much of a ripoff. D: I sent you a box too but I only managed to get to the post office yesterday so I guess it'll be more likely to arrive next week now. Sorry. ;_;

I FINISHED MY DISSERTATION! At eleven o'clock the night before it was due in and I still had to finish my artifact-thing in the morning. I know I always put off important projects but I have never left anything that late before.

I hope I pass... my gut feeling is that I probably will because I knew a lot of people who were on the BA last year and they managed to pass, despite the hindrance of [most of] them being completely stupid. I guess the worst thing about it is knowing that I didn't make any real effort and won't get as high a grade as I am was probably capable of - but at the same, I've spent five years in that stupid place, three of those being taught by people who obviously couldn't care less about me or my work so fuck it. I just want to get out of there. One more stupid project to go and then I never have to go back again.

Everything else is just... meh. I play too much Pokemon and not enough of anything else. I got the shiny Pichu from a Wi-Fi thing and I'm going to an event to get Arceus next Saturday - the website says there will be balloons and face painting! Excellent. I feel very, very grown up.

I am far too old for this aren't I? But they have croagunk (yes that would be the blue one with the retarded face). CROAGUNK! My brother managed to catch one in the Safari game and I traded it for a level 50-something Raticate (he hasn't completed it yet and they're really common after you have, but he owes me anyway because I traded him an awesome Gible) but I very nearly ended up trading one of the legendaries (I think it was Uxie or some stupid fail pokemon like that) for it because croagunk is so good. I'm going to level him up to 100 and never evolve him. I think I just really like his face, it's absolutely stupid and he never changes expression but that makes it awesome. Also the way it shudders when you send it out in battle is really unnerving. XD

The plan for today is to draw Benji, e-mail the people I'm working for, do some illustrations for my major study and get rid of my headache so I can think about writing the essay and then decide that I can't be bothered anyway. Maybe I should aspire to do more with my time, but knowing me I probably won't even accomplish those things.

Or I might just go for a walk? I feel like I haven't been outside for ages, even though I went out yesterday to the same place I always go, but I didn't throw any stones in the river (because there were fishies jumping out of it and I was watching them instead) and now I feel compelled to do that. I'm trying to identify the bird I saw as well... I thought it was blue and might have been a kingfisher, but looking at the pictures of them it definitely wasn't that blue and I was probably mistaken. Maybe a dipper? It looked like that but the description makes it sound like it just walks around in the water when the one I saw was flying really fast along the surface of it and diving in underneath.

Haha, sorry, that's not even worth writing about is it? I really like birds though, they're one of my favourite things. Even just boring common birds like magpies or finchies, I think they're really cool. XD
