Why Handheld Pokemon Games Are Worth it

As a fan of Pokémon and all Game Freak's games in general, I am very thankful to the developer for all the wonderful handheld role-playing games that you have made available for me to play, allowing me to experience what it's like to catch my own Pokémon and train them to be the very best. From Red Version and Blue Version to Sun and Moon, their latest games, Game Freak'sPokemon games have all been fun and engaging. They gave us players one Pokémon to start with and allowed us to continuously travel from one town to another to catch more Pokémon in the wild, fight trainers, and defeat Gym Leaders, This gameplay which prove that they are capable of anything makes these games worth it to me. Playing their Pokemon games is a challenging experience and one that is further enjoyed as players progress and are determined to become stronger to be a top trainer.

The journey that starts with obtaining a starter Pokémon from whichever generation and game--and its specifics too--and having to travel all over a region just so you will become stronger is an inviting challenge that should be welcomed with a sense of ambition. That is what the game fosters as you progress. You will have your first Pokémon with you but have the opportunity to catch as many as you can out in the wild--even though only six can be kept on hand. It is up to you to train them and make them the strongest they can be. It's always good to keep the ones who will lead you to victory because a shared win creates a unique bond between Trainer and Pokémon. It is up to every player to play in whichever way they feel comfortable with, making the journey an all-out fun time nonetheless. Remember, play in a way that resonates with you and just prove yourself to everyone who comes in your way that you are unstoppable.

We all want to know what will come next in our quest. Who will we come across? What Pokémon will we catch? When will there be an open challenge coming our way to fight a trainer or gym leader? Where can we find items that are needed to help our Pokémon feel better and make them stronger too? The answers we seek come our way as we continue to move through every town in the game. There is always something going on so it makes complete sense to play the game right and with enthusiasm till the very end.

It is how you start that matters. That is what the Pokémon handheld games taught me as I played to the very end. It is because of GameFreak that I got to experience what it's like to have my own Pokémon and create a bond that it is impeccable. I cannot thank the developers enough for the experience their Pokémon games gave me.

Signed
A passionate Pokémon player

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
