The second gym specializes in normal types. And again the game is kind enough to provide an area just outside the city, where you can catch three different fighting pokemon. Remember the first generation, where the only thing against Brock were your starter, a bug depending on the version and Pikachu?
Another great change is the new itemfinder/dowsing machine. It was already better in HGSS, where you could walk around with the itemfinder constantly pressed, and now it's even better you don't even need to press it, but it works automatically and startspinging when a hidden item is nearby.
Now I'm chasing team plasma in Pinwheel Forest.
Current team: Tepig, evolved Lilipup, the blue judo guy, Munna, grass monkey, Poliwag's ripoff

Pkmn Black: After the first gym
I managed to put in some more playtime into Pokemon Black and got my first badge yesterday, whoohoo! :D I liked the animation after obtaining it. Also it's a nice thing to have the gym leader use a type advantage against you, even nicer to get a type advantage against him for free :D What I don't like is the absence of the "button" that enables you to run by default, as in HG/SS. That was really a great addition, shame they took it away. I really don't know why can't they leave all the good stuff introduced in previous generations.
I got to the city with the second gym (sorry, don't know the names yet), but haven't challenged the gym leader yet - I'm taking it slow, level-upping and capturing everything on the way.

Pokemon Black
Yesterday I finally got my Pokemon Black! I chose the Black version because of its more technological tone (as I'm studying computer science). I haven't been able to put much playtime in it yet, as I'm busy with school right now, just an hour or two. So far I must say I like the new battle screen, all the zooming around, but I'm disappointed with the zoom. What's this pixelated view? I'm not playing Blue, I'm playing Black!
Now back to my homework.

A wish came true!
One of the wishes I made in a November '08 entry came true! They have finally unveiled the names for the 2nd Pokémon generation games remake: Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Yes, I find the names strange too. I prefer the speculated Dusk and Dawn, or Sun and Moon. Oh well, as long as there is the remake on the way :D Though one of the greatest things about the 2nd generation was the HUGE step forward the games made (day/night, shinies, colours, ...) and being remakes I doubt there will be any big improvements. Let's hope for them in the next gen in about 2-3 years ;)

I wish upon a star
I think that most gamers, in the pursue of that perfect game and gaming experience, find themselves wishing certain games were different, bigger, better. I am no exception. Here's some of my wishes.
Pokemon: I wish for a remake of the 2nd generation for the DS. Not only were those game great and big (16 badges, remember?), but it would also mean that Kanto would be featured in every generation of the games. I would especially like a remake of Crystal, as in my opinion, that's one of the best Pokemon games of all times.
I also wish for a game that would incorporate all 4 worlds of the main series (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh). The question here is how to make the games challenging and entertaining, as one has quite a high level after finishing one region. There are various solutions to this, but I'll leave it to the developers (if they'll ever pick up this project).
Harvest Moon: I wish that after marriage it would be possible to choose to play as either of the married couple. Tired of your boy charachter? Then work as your wife! I see the problem for marriageable characters who have a jon to do, for example Trent, the only doctor in Mineral Town. For cases like this I suggest having two characters doing the same job (in Trent's case, Dr Hardy?) and after marriage with Trent, Hardy would complain that since Trent quit his job he has much more work to do. Another addition here would be the requirement of having the other one at a high friendship, or else (s)he won't ket the bachelor(ette) quit the job and get married. And one more aspect (this is the last one): when playing as the spouse, you could resume your previous job for an hour, two, three..., lose some stamina and get paid for this. It would be also cool to play as your child (maybe at the teenage stage) and get a girlfriend/boyfriend (rivals' children).
Rune Factory: (I married Melody in my game. She is a sweet girl with a thing for witches. She also wears a pointed hat.) I wish that after marrying Melody it would be possible to give her the "join me" command, the same as with animals. She would then join the player in dungeons and use spells. That would be so cool!
Wishful thinking? Yes, I know. But I'm allowed to dream, aren't I? :)

Some more Pokemon for me
Last summer Ana and me bought the new pair of Pokemon games, Diamond and Pearl. My copy arrived as stated, but hers got lost somewhere on the road across the big pond. After some emailing back and forth the shop sent us another copy which arrived in due time. Soon afterwards the first copy aarived too. We sold the extra one and gave the money to the shop.
I played my version, Diamond, for the whole summer, filling my pokedex (at least the "seen" part) to about 3/4. I also did some wifi trading.
Then my wireless router and isp modem decided they don't like each other anymore and the modem refused to give internet to the router (later I found out it was actually the isp's fault). In other words, no more wifi for me. It was also somewhere around that point that I stopped playing Diamond. This was around the end of last year's summer.
A week ago I had a sudden idea. The router and modem still didn't like each other, but both talked to the PC. So I thought that if I would connect the modem to the computer and the computer to the router, I might get the internet connection up to the router. The only problem was that I needed two lan ports in the PC. Luckilly I had a spare lan port PCI card. Turned off the PC, unscrewed it, inserted the PCI card, connected the modem, turned on the PC and... nothing. I tried messing around with the cables and some configurations, but all to no avail. Lastly, I tried the wizard for setting up a home network. I told him that the computer was connecting directly to the internet and other computers would use this one to connect. Abrakadabra, hokus pokus, the wizard did it! I had wifi again!
First I downloaded additional puzzles for Layton. I wanted to try IoH's wifi, but was still in a mine. Then I went to my pokemon forum and saw someone who wanted to make a trade. An Eevee. I checked, had one and told him I'd trade with him.
So, that's what got me into pokemoning again. I checked my pokedex and I have a few more than 100 left for the "seen" part. Something like 180 for the "obtained". I already did some breeding to get 5 more (and an Eevee to trade). I also got one for the "obtained" list from the GTS. After close inspection I miss the most "seen" from the third generation. I guess I'll have to play some Sapphire too and migrate them.
If there's anyone reading this and someone with DPPt who'd like to trade, let me know ;)
