POKÉMON

Sorry for the late post all; I was so full of turkey and pie (4 turkeys, 4 pies) that I couldn't move to type!

First up, Pokèmon finally came out!  I picked up my copy of Omega Ruby and got down to business.  I'm not really a "beat the game now!" kind of person so I've been taking my time with it.  I am on my way to the Champion(s) as we speak.  So my initial thoughts **POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD**:

1) Totally did not realize the game was a full remake.  I played the original Ruby and when I found out they were releasing it again I was definitely excited, but I figured they were just updating the game - adding 3D and some features, done.  This is not the case and I am so glad.  The game is indeed a FULL REMAKE.  You can definitely see the original game in there, but it is very clear they sat down and rewrote (coding and such) for the entire game.  It's so beautiful I could cry.

2) Something funny the game has added: you can sneak up on Pokèmon.  So you walk by tall grass and you see there may be a creature in there.  You head toward it and it takes off, right?  Wrong!  In Omega Ruby if you slowly tilt your joystick you will do the creep up on the creature.  First time I saw this in action all I could think of was swiggity swooty:

Definitely a good feature to have, but still made me giggle.

3)  You.  Can.  Fly.  Of course, you can use the HM Fly, but now, instead of just selecting Fly and then arriving at your location, you can actually fly and control the Pokèmon while doing so.  I had heard about this before the game came out, but figured I was misunderstanding.  I wasn't.  Enjoy.

Those are the big things that had me trippin' out while playing.  Omega Ruby is definitely worth your money and time so I suggest picking it up.

In other news, I finished my first ever COMMISSION!  I am quite proud of myself and would like to share an image of the finished product:

Is a Flareon and comes with leg warmers (cuz leg warmers are cool).  I will be sure to get front and back shots of the jacket when I bring it to my client.  Wish me luck!

I actually think that's all for tonight.  Notice it was all Pokèmon themed?  You see what I did there?  Nighty night!
