    Hi guys! I'm Callisto. You might remember me as someone who was super active from 2013-2015. Not so much, now. I don't think I'm gonna be returning to frequent activity, either, but I might be around. This post is just to tell you what I've been up to!
     
    First and foremost, I like MLP again! Quite a lot, in fact. I never thought it would happen, but I'm glad it did. It makes me just as happy as it used to. I guess I just needed a break. I love Starlight a lot, Season 6 was great, Season 7 so far has been wonderful, and I'm happy. I've been finally getting to the comics, too. I'm now weirdly obsessed with King Sombra after reading Siege of the Crystal Empire, a storyline which literally no one besides me liked. Oh well.
     
    Some other things I've been up to include:
    Creating an original world, characters, and storylines from scratch, starting two years ago. It's...not easy. But it's a lot of fun sometimes!                                                       
    Playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U competitively! This has been less of a focus lately, but I DID go to my first ever tournament last year! I lost both my sets, and I haven't been back since, but it's a start.
    And, really...just maturing and learning about myself in general. Sooo...yeah. Nothing too exciting. Just thought I'd pop by and say hello while I was lurking!

    So, yeah, hi there! After months of absence, I'm here again! I'm certain none of you remember or even knew me in the first place, but well, I'm here!
     
    So, why did I leave in the first place? Well, mainly it was other interests pulling me in some other directions. That and, well...my opinion of MLP isn't the highest anymore. I don't think it's bad, it's just kind of...bland? I dunno. It doesn't really appeal to me anymore, is the gist.
     
    I'm here because, well, I missed this place! I'm too attached to it to leave.
     
    Also I plan on resuming reviews and other stuff! So if you liked those back in the day, you can look forward to more of it. I'm also writing a fantasy story that I may put here...so, yeah, that's all I had to say. Bye! <3

    Like I said in my reflection of the past two years, I'm a very different person now. I used to be this weird, sarcastic, guy who was often depressed and bitter. Now I'm a cheerful, bubbly girl who's almost always happy. I feel like I've alienated some people, truthfully. I think people who've known me for a long time might think this is fake.
     
    But it isn't. This is who I've always - the bright, happy girly-girl. It's just been hidden. Even I didn't realize it. I was just too scared to admit. Too afraid of judgement. Too afraid of my few friends leaving me, not liking who I truly was. But, that hasn't happened. People have accepted my change of identity, and my change in personality. For that, I'm very grateful. No one has insulted, or questioned my identity.
     
    But I do still wonder; did I alienate people? Are people confused? After all, this was such a total change. If I have alienated my friends; I'm sorry. I hope you can come to accept and like me as I am now. If not, then at least remember the good times we shared before.
     
    You're all amazing. Not just the people who have supported me and comforted me, but all of you. I am incredibly grateful.
     
    And to my new friends, who've always known me as I am now; thank you, too.
     
    I apologize if this was dumb. Truthfully, I kinda knew it would be. I just wanted to say what I have. I'm not sure if I'll even publish this. Who knows?

    So, after playing it for over a year, I reset Animal Crossing: New Leaf. And...I kinda regret it, honestly. But, we can work with it! I'll be documenting my shenanigans as the mayor of Lucia! Here! Everyday!
     
    So, on this first day, not much happened. I became the mayor, like you do, and met some villagers. I think the ones I had were Hopper, Skippy, Sterling, Willow, and...another one. Can't remember his name. Not super fond of any of them, but that was the case with my first town, too.
     
    Not much happened, but it was the first day. Future days will be more exciting, I promise!

    A lot can change in two years.
     
    A little over two years ago, I joined MLPF. I didn't expect to stay for long; I never tend to stick with forums. But, for some reason, this place just clicked with me and I stuck around.
     
    Like I said, a lot can change in two years, and a lot has changed. My personality has changed a lot; I'm a lot nicer and more social. I'm more fun to be around, my taste in media has changed a lot, I'm more laidback about a lot of things, I even identify as a different gender I really do feel like a completely different person.
     
    But, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Although many of the friends I once had have moved on, I've always enjoyed this forum, and the wonderful people who have come and gone. I would make special mentions, but I don't want to make anyone feel excluded. You're all awesome.
     
    So, to conclude: friends have come and gone, lots of things have changed, but I've always had a great time. Here's to another year!

    You may have noticed my lack of activity. I haven't been posting, I haven't been writing reviews...I just haven't been around in general. This is due to a few reasons: mainly, I just haven't felt good, mentally. I've just felt so defeated and depressed. I haven't felt like doing much of anything. Secondly, I've been very stressed out, mostly with school. These two things have limited my activity.
     
    So, what about the future? Well, I should be a little more active going forward, but there's no promises. As for reviews? Those are on hold for the moment. I just can't seem to find the motivation to write them anymore.
     
    So, yeah. There's your update.

    After the huge success of Red and Blue and all things Pokémon, Game Freak new what had to be done; a sequel was in order. The sequels, labeled Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver were set to be released in late 1997. This did not come to fruition; the game was delayed, and it finally hit Japan in June 1999, and it came to the rest of the world a year later. Does it improve on the last game, or is it a bad case of sequelitis? Let's dig in and find out!
     
    STORY
    The basic story is the same: you're a kid, and you've got to catch and battle Pokémon to defeat the gym leaders, the nefarious Team Rocket, and your sinister rival. Team Rocket's a little more fleshed out this time around; instead of trying to get money, (although they do that too) they're trying to get their former leader, Giovanni, to return. The story's nothing special, but it serves it's purpose. 7/10
     
    GAMEPLAY
    The core gameplay established Red/Blue/Yellow is largely the same; collect, trade and battle Pokémon. There were some big changes, though. The most notable is the addition of 100 new monsters. Personally, I'm not fond of many of them; they tend to have rather bland designs, especially when compared to Gen 1's rather strange 'mons, and many of them aren't very useful. The good ones, though, are really good. Ampharos, Lanturn, Porygon 2, Heracross, and Sudowoodo are all favorites. The next biggest change is the addition of two brand new types; Dark and Steel. These were needed additions; they helped balance out the overpowered Psychic type, and gave some types, like Fighting and Bug, more uses. The last big change is the split of the Special stat in to two stats; Special Attack and Special Defense. This was also a very welcome a needed change, making certain Pokémon less overpowered. Overall, the gameplay is still a blast. 10/10
     
    DIFFICULTY AND LENGTH
    The game can be rather difficult. You see, the levels in this game are rather low - the final boss peaks at Lv. 50. Due to this, you won't get much experience from trainers, so a fair bit of grinding is required. This is one of my least favorite aspects of the game - playing through it can be a chore. I've only beaten it twice, as opposed to every Pokémon game, which I've beaten at least three times (more in most cases). Difficulty gets a 5/10.
     
    The game's a pretty good length, with two regions - Johto and Kanto - to explore, and 16 gym leaders to take down. Neither is very big, though, (Kanto has been noticeably downsized) but it's still a decently lengthy game, with plenty to do. Length gets an 8/10.
     
    GRAPHICS AND SOUND
    The graphics look good. Each Pokémon has a nice, detailed sprite, the overwold looks good, as do the attack animations. Nothing here looks too bizarre or creepy, (there's no Gen 1 Exeggutor here, folks) and it's good all around. 8/10
     
    The music is great and memorable, beating even Red and Blue's soundtrack for me. Favorite new tracks are Violet City, Azelea Town, Ecruteak City, Vs. Gym Leader, and Vs. Lance/Red. 9/10
     
    FINAL
    This is a good game, with the glaring flaw of having too much necessary grinding, making things a chore at times. Still, it's Pokémon, and it's still a lot of fun.
     
    RATING
    8/10
     
    Thanks for reading! ^w^

    So, the Smash Bros. 3DS demo is finally here; the general public's first taste of Smash 4. What do I think of it? It's really good. I was worried about playing Smash on a small screen, but it plays really well. It's smooth and it's fast; the fighters move at a constant 60 FPS. The controls are perfect; every action is mapped to the right button. I had a little difficulty pulling off smash attacks at first, but I've got it down no.
    Overall, it's a ton of fun, and SSB4 could be the best Smash yet, based on the demo.
     
    As for the two new characters that are playable, Villager and Mega Man, I enjoy. They both have very unique playstyles, especially the Villager. Mega Man really does feel like Mega Man; a lot of care and detail was put in to him, I feel. Villager, as I said, is a very different sort of character; I haven't played as him much, (most of my playtime has gone to Mario, Mega Man, and Link) but I definitely got that vibe. He takes a lot of strategy to pull off, I think.
     
    It looks great, especially for the 3DS. The fact that there's little to no slowdown is especially impressive.
     
    To conclude, the Smash Bros. 3DS demo is very good, and it's exciting taste of what's coming on October 3rd. Expect a review of the full game next month! Thanks for reading! ^-^

    Check out my Red and Blue review here!: http://mlpforums.com/blog/589/entry-12908-pokémon-red-and-blue-review/
     
    So, at the same time that Red and Blue came stateside, something else did: the Pokémon anime. Arguably more iconic and well known than the games, the Pokémon anime was a smash success. Naturally, our old friends at Game Freak wanted to capatalize on this success, and what better way to do that than to make a new version of Red and Blue with elements taken from the show? Actually, there probably were better ways to do that, but let's ignore that for the moment and look at the changes!
     
    • The most obvious is that your starter is now Pikachu, and it'll follow you around on the overworld. It's pretty neat, though it does become rather annoying in the fact that this Pikachu cannot evolve. So, no big orange rat for you; you're stuck with the little Yellow one.
     
    • You can now obtain all three starter Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) instead of just one, just like Ash does in the anime. This is really cool; not only does it tie in to the anime, but you get three pretty strong Pokémon for free! Rad.
     
    • The Pokémon sprites have been noticeably improved, and now look closer to the way they look in the anime and official art. This is a very welcome change; now some Pokémon aren't nearly as creepy (EXEGGUTOR!) and it helps the game overall.
     
    • The game is a bit tougher; Gym Leaders are noticeably stronger. This isn't a huge change, but I still thought it was worth bringing up.
     
    I give this game an 8.5/10. It's the definitive way to play Generation 1. Thanks for reading! ^__^
  12. Callisto
    This isn't gonna be structured like my normal reviews; I'm just gonna be spouting thoughts as I think of them.
     
    And what do I think of it? I LOVE IT. This is my first real foray in to the Zelda series; I dabbled with Ocarina, but it wasn't my cup of tea. This game, though? It was exactly what I wanted. The super open-ended nature was really cool (though I admit to using a walkthrough). The fact that you could go anywhere at anytime was awesome. The dungeons had really clever designs and puzzles; I often found myself remarking at how smart the game was. You'll often have to use two or more of your abilites in conjuction to get past obstacles. The way the painting ability was implemented was really cool, too; at first I thought it would hinder my enjoyment of the game, but I really enjoyed using it (though I often merged in to walls when I didn't intend to). The game's no cakewalk, but it's not super hard, either; the bosses give a fair challenge, and even the regular enemies can be difficult, as many of them can block your attacks. The only point I felt was unfair was when I first entered the parallel world, Lorule; the enemies were much stronger than the ones in Hyrule.
     
    I honestly can't think of any real problems with the game. It was a lot of fun, it gave a fair challenge, it's a good length, everything works. A must have for 3DS owners.

    "Welcome to the world of Pokémon!"
     
    Welcome, indeed. In 1995, two games hit Japanese store shelves; Pocket Monsters Red Version, and Pocket Monsters Green Version. These games, which were all about collecting, trading, and battling 150 different monsters, launched a phenomon in Japan that is nearly without compare. And so, Nintendo and Game Freak knew it had to be shared with the rest of the world.
     
    Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version were finally released in the US of A in 1998. "But Callie!" You may be asking. "Why are they called Red and Blue? Shouldn't they be Red and Green?" Well, allow me to explain; Red and Green were really glitchy games, so a new version, called Blue was released that fixed up some of the glitches and improved the graphics, specifically the quality of the sprites. The American Red and Blue versions were based on these games, thus the name.
     
    Now, with all that out of the way, let's actually talk about the games!
     
    THE STORY
    The story is simple, in that really isn't much of one. You're a ten-year old boy (actually, you're eleven according the manual, but we'll go with ten because it's more iconic) and you get your first Pokémon from Professor Oak. You collect and battle more Pokémon, all while taking on the eight gym leaders, the nefarious Team Rocket, and your rival, Blue/Green/Gary/Douchewad, and learning about teamship, friendwork, and the heart of the cards. The game has a sort of self-made story; it's more about your experiences with your Pokémon than any real plot, which is kinda neat. Story gets a 5/10.
     
    THE GAMEPLAY
    Pokémon's gameplay is decipively simple; it's all based around a big game of rock-paper-scissors, where, instead of having three choices, you have 15, each with different strengths and weaknesses. To add to that, there are more factors in combat; the stats of your Pokémon and your opponent's, status conditions like Poison, random factors like critical hits (although they're not random here; they're based on the speed stat). Speaking of stats, there are four in this game: Attack, which determines how much damage you'll do with physical attacks like Mega Kick or Brick Break. Defense, with determines how much damage you'll take from physical attacks. Speed, which determines which Pokémon will go first in a battle. Lastly, Special, which not only determines how much damage you'll do with Special moves like Ice Beam or Psychic, but also how much you'll take from said moves. These stats will be split in to Special Attack and Special Defense in the next games, but for now this is all we got. The gameplay is definitely really fun, and while it's rather primitive compared to later games, it still manages to be fun in it's simplicity. 9/10
     
    DIFFICULTY AND LENGTH
    These games aren't super hard, but they ain't easy, either. You'll likely have to grind a decent bit if you wanna stand a real chance (of course, I beat the final boss with a team around Lv. 45 or so, but it sure wasn't easy). Thankfully, the game throws lots of opponents at you before it's level spikes. So, it's pretty moderate difficulty-wise. 8/10
     
    Red and Blue aren't long games if you're just going straight through; you could probably beat them in one sitting if you really want to. There's really no post-game either, except for catching 'em all, which, assuming you have both versions and two Game Boys, won't take you all that long. 6/10
     
    GRAPHICS AND SOUND
    The graphics are pretty good for a Game Boy game. Some of the sprites are kinda weird (lookin' at you, Exeggutor) but otherwise it looks pretty good. The music is also classic for a good reason. The tunes here are great; my favorites are the S.S. Anne music, the Vermillion City music, the Gym Leader battle theme, the infamous Lavender Town theme, and the Champion battle music. 9/10
     
    FINAL
    Red and Blue are great games, and while they show their age a little, they're still fun to play.
     
    RATING: 8/10
  14. Callisto
    Exactly what it says on the tin.
     
    Here's some cowboys and their rivals:
     
    Taterhead Jim: Member of the Riverville Cowboy Group. Has potato shaped head. That is his only interesting feature.
     
    Sparkly Francis: Member of the Riverville Cowboy Group. Is always silent. He shoots things a lot.
     
    Ready Freddy: Member of the Riverville Cowboy Group. Is super hyper active, and can run at super sonic speeds.
     
    Dave: Member of the Riverville Cowboy Group. He's just sorta there.
     
    Apple Torso Jones: Member of the Cowboys Who Oppose The Riverville Cowboy Group (CWORCG). Has a torso shaped like an apple. No other defining features. Rival to Taterhead Jim.
     
    Manly Marcus: Member of CWORCG. Is incredibly feminine and talkative. Rival to Sparkly Francis.
     
    Sleepy Petey: Member of CWORCG. Is incredibly lazy and doesn't really do much. He is hated and scorned because his name is a psuedo-rhyme.
     
    Dave: Member of CWORCG. This is a different Dave. He's just sorta there.
     
    And here's some "superheroes": The National International Association of Justice and Heroics (NIAJH)
     
    Eagle Man: Cowardly and arrogant. Never does anything in fights, but takes all the credit. Not supposed to be social commentary. Has no actual powers. Real name: John Doe.
     
    Blaze Woman: A woman who is literally always on fire. This proves to be a problem a lot. Real name: Blaise Torchwood.
     
    The Goalem: You might think he's a giant rock monster who misspelled his name, but he's actually a hockey goalie. He has a hockey stick. His power is the ability to summon hockey pucks. He's kinda lame. Real name: Canadi Ann
     
    Ms. Moth: A woman who can turn in to a moth. There are no benefits to being a moth. She has no other powers. Real name: Mara Mothly
     
    The Creature: An alien who came to Earth and joined NIAJH. Do you think it has any cool alien powers or technology? Nope. It really can't do anything. Real name: *^%{\£ -\]+"!

    #3: Generation Six (X/Y)
    Objectively, these are probably the best games in the series. And they are really great games, with the gameplay polished to perfection, stunning graphics for the 3DS (even if those graphics cause the framerate to suffer), and they're just generally great games. Why isn't Gen 6 at number 1, then? Something just feels...empty about it. Like it was rushed. Again, great games, but they're just missing something.
     
    #2: Generation Three (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald)
    I love these games. They just do everything right for me. Despite the hate it gets (some of which is justified. I mean, there's a LOT of water..) I love the Hoenn region. The battle mechanics were improved further from Gen 2, with the addition of abilities and natures to add more strategy and complexity to the battles. The graphics are darn impressive for a GBA game, and the music ain't bad either. However, one gen did things even better, in my opinion, than this one.
     
    #1: Generation Five (Black/White/Black 2/White 2)
    If I'm gonna be honest, these games are only at number 1 because of Black/White 2. That's not the originals aren't great in their own right, because they are; the gameplay's great, the graphics are great, standard Pokémon stuff. Buf Black 2/White 2 are something special. They are, in my opinion, perfect games. It has all the same things that made Black and White great, and more. They have a weaker story, sure, but that it's only disadvantage. They also have possibly the best post-game of any Pokémon generation, including Gen 2 Kanto! I know I didn't do a very good job of explaining why I love these games so much, but I really, really do love these games.
     
    Well, that's a wrap. But, stay tuned for my in depth reviews of each game! Same Callisto time, same Callisto channel!
  16. Callisto
    The title's pretty self-explanatory. I'm gonna rank the Pokémon gens for least good to best. So, without further ado, let's go! This is gonna be a huge wall of text, so if you just wanna see my rankings, scroll to the bottom.
     
    #6: Generation Two (Gold/Silver/Crystal)
    "Blasphemy!" You shout, hardly believing the words you see on your computer screen. "Gen II was the BEST ONE!" Here me out: I don't think these are bad games at all. But, they're most certainly flawed. And the main flaw that kills these games is their level curve. The levels are bizarrely low for a Pokémon game; the final gym leader mostly uses Pokémon in the late 30's. The regular trainers are even wimpier; I should not be fighting Pokémon around level 8 before the 2nd gym, let alone after it. Due to this, you will have to grind a lot. But, the wild Pokémon are also pathetic, never getting past level 20 or so. So, grinding will take a looooong time. The ability to rematch trainers helps a little, but not much. This alone just makes these games unpleasant for me. This is also my least favorite Gen in terms of Pokémon introduced. Yeah, it has some of my favorites, like Heracross and Ampharos, but what else does it have? Stantler? Aipom? Sunflora? Meh. I don't dislike the new Pokémon at all; they're just sorta there. But, that's enough negative; let's talk positive! Splitting the special stat in to two stats, Special Attack and Special Defense, was something that desperately needed to be done, and it's a wonderful addition. And this game is Pokémon; it's still the same fun, monster battling action, just more...flawed. Also, I didn't bring up Kanto because it's stupid and barren and boring. Next!
     
    #5: Generation Four (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum)
    If Platinum didn't exist, Gen 4 would just barely edge out Gen 2 as my least favorite. Diamond and Pearl are slow, empty, and dull. They're devoid of any life. But, Platinum came along and fixed everything. The battles were faster (albeit not as gloriusly fast as in Gen 5), the game seemed brighter and more fun. Platinum still isn't perfect; it's still pretty slow, and it's still pretty difficult to care about what's going on. There's never a real urgency. I was always like "I could go climb a mountain and stop Team Galactic...or I could go gamble to get TMs. I'll go gamble." Oh, and the music kinda sucks, with a few exceptions.
     
    #4: Generation 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow)
    The one that started it all. Are the games flawed? Oh, hell yes, they're some of the glitchiest, most unbalanced games I've ever played. But, that still doesn't stop their fun charm. There's just...something to these games. They're primitive and kind of broken, but they're still so much fun. People still love these games for non-nostalgic reasons. There's something magical here, something that transcends the hundreds of glitches and the lack of balance. And that's...really all there is to it.
     
    RANKING SO FAR:
    #6: Gen II
    #5: Gen IV
    #4: Gen I
     
    Stay tuned for part 2!

    So, as you folks might now, I like Pokémon. Like, a lot. So, here are my ten favorite Pokémon! Wooo! They aren't in any real order except for #1, who is my absolute favorite 'Mon. With that, let's get started!
     
    #10: Roserade
    Roserade? More like RoseRAD AMIRITE HAHAHAHA but seriously, Roserade's pretty cool. Not only does it look super cool, but it's also pretty fast and powerful. In my most recent playthrough of Y, I always led with it due to it's access to Toxic Spikes, which many battles easier. Overall, Roserade a super cool 'Mon.
     
    #9: Golurk
    Alright, answer me this: HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE GOLURK? I mean, it's a giant robot! THAT CAN FLY! That aside, Golurk is really cool. Not only is it super powerful, it's got a pretty cool typing, too, and it's got a great ability in Iron Fist. Or it can have one of the worst abilities in the game, Klutz...like, as I recently realized, mine does. The fact that it's still useful even without it is a testament to Golurk's awesomeness. And I mean...IT'S A GIANT ROBOT.
     
    #8: Weezing
    Why do I like Weezing so much? If I'd never used one, I probably wouldn't. But I did use one, in one of my White 2 playthroughs, and it was one of the star players. His amazing Will-O-Wisp/Rocky Helmet combo ensured that physically attacking foes would do little damage and take lots in return. I mean, he took down Iris's Haxorus BY HIMSELF. So, Bob the Weezing, I salute thee, and may you forever live on.
     
    #7 Starmie
    Starmie is so good. So, so good. It's fast, powerful, has an amazing movepool, and is generally a great Pokémon. Mine has solo'd the X/Y Pokémon League, and whenever I decide to hop on the Battle Spot to duel with a random stranger, it's always a STAR player. Get it? Cuz it's a star? LAUGH YOU LIT-
     
    #6: Exeggutor
    This may seem like an odd choice for a favorite, and, honestly, it kinda is. But, I love its design (I think I'm the only who does ) and, in my experience using it, it's been really good. When I used one in my last FireRed playthrough, it very well could have been my best Pokémon. Not only did it do great damage, it took hits surprisingly well. It's weird, it's silly, it's amazing, Exeggutor. It's safe to say that Eggcellent the Exeggutor truly lived up to his namesake. Arceus bless.
     
    #5: Darmanitan
    First of all, I just wanna say that I love this thing looks. It just has a grin on its face, like it's overjoyed to be destroying everything. Secondly, Darmanitan destroys everything. This thing is an absolute MONSTER. Massive attack, a rad ability in Sheer Force, and overall just a really great Pokémon.
     
    #4: Dragonite
    Ah, Dragonite. How I love Dragonite. You may say Garchomp or Haxorus are better choices, and they may be, but when it comes to dragons, ol' Dragonite is my choice. Unlike many people, I really like Dragonite's design, moreso than Dragonair. I mean, it's a big, grinning, goofy looking orange dragon with noodles on its head. What's not to love? Second, this guy is really strong. I mean, he is a dragon, they're supposed to be strong...y'know, this whole entry is turning in to a ramble. I'll shut up and say Dragonite is awesome.
     
    #3: Milotic
    Let me just preface this by saying I've never actually used a Milotic, because getting one is a MASSIVE hassle. So, I don't have personal experiences to share. But, I will say that Milotic has super rad stats, and it's really pretty. That's all.
     
    #2: Togekiss
    I really love Togekiss. It's super cute, for one thing. You just look at it and it's an explosion of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW. Second, Togekiss is a DEATH MACHINE. It's only real bad stat is it's physical attack, which is fine since you're not going to be using it. This thing can dish out massive pain and take it right back. I mean, mine almost swept Candice. AN ICE GYM LEADER. That's the power of Togekiss. And that's not even mentioning the Air Slash flinching shenanigans...
     
    #1: REUNICLUS
    BRUH. BRUUUH. LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT REUNICLUS. First of all, IT'S SUPER CUTE. It's just happy about life and everything, I MEAN IT'S GOT A BIG HAPPY GRIN ALL THE TIME. Don't you just wanna hug it? It's so cute in Amie like AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH IT'S SO HAPPY WHEN YOU PET IT AND GIVE IT CUPCAKES. It's so squishy and lovableeeee. <3 Second, Reuniclus is SUPER AWESOME in battle. It's slow, sure, but WHO CARES? It's got a lot of Special Attack, decent defenses, and ONE OF THE BEST ABILITIES IN THE GAME. MAGIC GUARD, Y'ALL. You know what that does? It makes Reuniclus impervious to indirect damage. Burn and poison? DON'T HURT. Sandstorm and hail? DON'T HURT. But, most importantly, it doesn't take damage from the Life Orb. What's that? It double a Pokémon's offensive stats, but takes away its health. But Reuniclus, thanks to Magic Guard, doesn't take damage from it. YOU CAN DOUBLE ITS OFFENSE STATS WITH NO DRAWBACKS. Reuniclus is PERFECT.
     
    Sorry about the caps lock spam I just really like Reuniclus

    Hi. You remember that status I made? That one about clearing out my friends' list? Weeeeell, one of the comments on that status pushed me over the edge, so to speak, so I lost my mind for a couple minutes and went and did just that, as well as deleting all my statuses. Yeaaaaahhh...not one of my smartest moves. So, uh, yeah...if you were on my friends' list before, please, re-add me. I could do it myself, but if they didn't know the situation, it'd be weird, and...yeah.

    Taxpayer's dollars are wasted on the government's insane donkey-related purchases! They must be stopped! Obama's a bad dude! He drinks milk STRAIGHT FROM THE CARTON! How evil! He must be impeached! Callisto 2014!
     
    I don't know what I'm doing either.

    Pinkie bounced up to her friends, Twilight and Fluttershy, on the warm spring day.
    "Hey, Pinkie. What have you been up to?" Twilight asked.
    "Not much, but - HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! Guess what I heard?" Pinkie asked.
    "What was it?" Fluttershy questioned.
    "I heard that Half-Life Thr-"
    "NO!" A voice shouted. The voice turned out to belong to Gabe Newell, who tackled Pinkie.
    "No one. Must. Know." Gabe whispered in to Pinkie's ear. Then he vanished.
    Pinkie shivered. "Mother...of...Celestia..."
  22. Callisto
    "Alright, listen," Clinton said sternly. "Twilight Sparkle is becoming, and we need to stop that."
    "If she's anything like them darn terrorists, I'm with ya!" W. Bush agreed.
    "Yes we can!" Obama shouted.
    Clinton removed the portal to Equestria from his pocket, and he and the other presidents jumped in.
    "Okay, Twilight's in her library, devising a solution to a riddle of some kind. If she solves it, she's the princess," Clinton whispered. "What do you suppose we do?"
    "PUNCH HER!" W. Bush exclaimed.
    "Perfect." Clinton said. "Obama, you go."
    "YES WE CAN!" Obama screamed. He walked in to the library, and smacked Twilight across the face. "YES I DID!"
    "Alright, that should be enough." Clinton said. And they lived happily ever after.
  23. Callisto
    "So, uh, how exactly are we gonna stop George W. Bush from becomin' president?" The orange farmpony asked.
    "It's simple! The Great And Powerful Trixie will use her amazing time-travel magic to stop George Bush's term before it happens!" The blue show-pony, Trixie, replied.
    "Then why are Applejack and I involved?" The white unicorn asked.
    "Backup!" Trixie responded simply. "Alright, now stand back, and allow Trixie to preform her time travel magic, in order to prevent Bush's first term!"
     
    Suddenly, the ponies were lifted up, and then suddenly vanished.
    "Where are we?" Applejack asked.
    "Washington D.C., darling!" Rarity exclaimed. "Oh, my, I've always wanted to see-"
    "We can sightsee later!" Trixie interrupted. "Right now, Bush is giving a speech. If he finishes, the people will be persuaded to vote for him! We have to stop him!"
    The trio went to the building where Bush was giving his speech.
    "He makes Trixie's skin crawl!" The blue-nicorn whispered. Just then, she shot a blast of magic at George.
    "Wah!" He cried, as he was knocked out. The crowd gasped, and Trixie promptly removed their mouths.
    "Now what?" Rarity asked.
    "Now...we dispose of him."
    Trixie tossed him in the dumpster.
    "That'll do!"
