Charmander:The best starting pokemon

Over the past weeks there has been a resurgence of Pokemon chatter. This is probably due to the recent release of the latest installment in the series: Pokemon White and Black.


The launch of the new games does nothing for me since I stopped playing the popular handheld RGP back when Sliver and Gold were released in 2000. But, it has re-opened a nostalgic debate amongst older and past pokemon masters. 

"Who is the BEST starting pokemon?" 
   

This question has present on the Pokemon debate table since the launch of the original Pokemon games Red and Blue in 1998. Back in the day when only 150 Pocket Monsters exitsed solely in the Kanto region, the biggest decision made in the game was deciding your starting Pokemon. Three options were given:

                                                        Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur 

The best starting Pokemon IS and forever Shall Be Charmander

Why?

Charmander is the starting Pokemon of true Pokemon masters because it forces you to train harder. The first two gyms in the game are Rock followed Water/Ice. Fire types, like Charmander, are weak in Attacking and Defense against both types. Therefore, in order to get by this point in the game, you have to train harder.

Those of you Squirtle and Bulbasaur lovers can brag all you want about how you destroyed Misty and Brock, how fast you got them to evolve, and how quick you defeated the elite four. So what. At level 36 I'll have a Charizard.



  • A rare Fire/Dragon type
  • Can learn both Fire Blast and Dragon Beam
  • Dominates in both Attack and Special Attack
  • As the ability to Fly
  • Is the rarest Pokemon trading card available
  • Is the most powerful form of Pokemon Trainer on SSBB
  • Is a beast

Really Cool Gagets You Should Know, Part 2

First there was the Game Boy,
Nintendo's entry into handheld gaming.




A small black and green screen was
stared at for hours




Enter the game boy pocket. A subsided product extension
with a bigger screen

A rainbow was sprinkled onto the system
in order to give it some color




 The next generation have improved graphics and system
variety







The most recent generation 
had increased performance and 
also another scene complete
with touch capabilities

And Now We Have: The 3DS


This bad boy is not just better than your N64, the top 
screen can display 3-dimensional visuals with the 
need for any glasses. The level of 3d'ness can even be
adjusted! SAY WHAT!!!!!

iPhone 4 White

Rumors have been buzzing around about the launch of the White Iphone 4. Throughout the past few weeks numerous third-party sources have been talking, typing, podcasting, tweeting, and blogging about the fruit company's newest product line extension. My favorite "source" is from the inside of a Verizon store inventory department inwhich a sneaky mole took a brilliant low-res pic of the mobile device's MODEL NUMBERS!!!!

Very sly

The white iphone 4 was confirmed by apple to be launch around "Spring 2011." Even though nothing is official, we should expect the product to hit store shelves probably within the next month.

Really Cool New Tech Gagets You Should Know About! Part 2

That fruit company has done again. Introducing IPAD 2!


Isn't it sexy? I would be too if I was 8.6mm thick.

Unless you've been living under a rock, the multifaceted computer company became the first mover in consumer tablet computers back in April 2010. The predecessor to this little guy (The IPad) was a big hit amongst the early adopters and  sold over 15 million units worldwide. The IPad 2 is looking to over come that number.


Besides being thinner, lighter, faster (Two A5 core processors and graphics 9X better than the IPad), and having a longer battery life (10 hours), it also has a sleek, new, magnetic fashioning, cover!



available in a wide variety of colors.

The big question asked about the IPad is "why." It's a decent question since the Ipad is essentially a dumbed down PC with an Iphone touch interface. The answer is one word: potential. We haven;t even seen applications that push the tablet to it's full potential. Imagine application being made for the Ipad 20 years from now.

If you're still skeptical about this guy, try to fathom this tid bit of knowledge. I read an article about a month ago that stated "since the launch (Late 2008) of the first application store (Apple's AppStore), 80 Billion applications have been downloaded for App-friendly phones and the IPad." 80 BILLION!


Just give it a few more years......
