Let's try this Pokemon White Run again... This time, we'll drop the permadeath rule, but keep the "Catch one from each region."  Or rather, use one for each region; I still want to fill out the dex somewhat so I don't miss bonuses.

I think there's a lesson here of matching one's self-imposed challenges to one's needs, rather than putting a one-size-fits-all approach.

Also, I'm using Tepig as a starter this time; no dice rolling.

So... tried out a Nuzlocke challenge on Pokemon White.  Everything died at Gym #1.  I am pathetic at this.

So... Pokemon X and Y are out, but I'm not shelling out for them until I've secured a new paycheck source.  In the meantime, I'm thinking about putting myself through a Nuzlocke challenge on my copy of White.  Don't have a capture device, so any updates would probably be in text form.  None of my watchers (what few I have) would probably be interested in reading how it goes.

Still, while I'm not much of a fan of Permadeath (Fire Emblem notwithstanding) the rule about only catching the first new pokemon in each area would solve a problem I have sometimes.  The very abundance of choice in potential party members makes it hard for me to stick with one all the way to the end, but switching them out requires hours of grinding to get the new ones up to speed.  Limiting choice, at least, might prevent my exhaustion.

I don't know about you, but when I first hear a song that I really like, I tend to play it on loop for days on end.  And when I get tired of that, I look up remixes and covers, put them all in a playlist, and then put that on loop for another week, at least.

My latest little obsession is a German New Wave pop song by Nena (same gal who did 99 Red Balloons), "Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann"
Link to the original (1984) studio version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6y6w_…
(Partial) English Remake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8hRQT…

I don't think much of the English version, lyrically; the original German had better imagery (either that, or Google Translate gave it a more evocative meaning through its misinterpretation.)

But yeah, it's gotten to the point where I'm looking for Nightcores, of all things.

Does this happen to anybody else, or is it just me?
