PotW: VGC 2011 EXTRAVAGANZA

/

Hey, everyone! Missed me? Of course you have. Well, after my two week family vacation, I'm back to give you some hopefully useful information for those of you playing at USA or Canada's National Championship. If you're not playing, hopefully you'll find this article interesting, if nothing else. 

For this one, I've decided to give you quite a bit more than your average dose of Pokemon for the coming week (the week of nationals OMG I CAN'T WAIT), by letting you know everything you need to act like you know what you're doing. That's right, this week, I'm going to be going over the Pokemon that are sure to be the most popular ones in the coming smackdown in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Disclaimer: This article is going to be a long one, as I'm making up for my two week absence. Please don't neglect reading it simply because of its length, as that would make me a sad panda. Read it all! You'll be a better person because of it!*

*Not guarenteed for all readers, results may vary

PotW: Reuniclus

As the Pokedex can attest, the world of science and the world of Pokemon do not always go hand in hand. Whether it be Magcargo’s body being twice the temperature of the sun, or Wartortles living up to ten thousand years, quite a few of the Pokedex’s entries contain scientific absurdities. This is not to say that I expect Pokemon to be realistic. Where’s the fun in that? But one Pokemon’s origin that is of a very scientific nature is that of Solosis, Duosion, and Reuniclus.

PKMN of the Week: Blitzle

/

Blitzle is a white-on-black zebra Pokémon, with thick, pointed white stripes on its neck, chest, back and hind legs. It has a large, rounded dark nose, and oval eyes with blue irises and yellow scleras. Blitzle possesses a spiked white mane, culminating at the front in a lightning-bolt-esque pointed extension; Blitzle also sports stubby, triangular dark ears with blue skin on the insides. Its hoofed legs are tipped with white, and its tail is stubby, white-colored and pointed.

Its mane can catch lightning and store the electricity from it. The mane lights up when Blitzle discharges electricity.

Blitzle will gather where thunderstorms are taking place in order to catch lightning and store the electricity in their manes. They communicate with each other by making their manes light up.
