elementalheroI was going to review the Naruto chapter, but that's going to have to happen tomorrow, as LJ is acting strange for me and not letting me get at my flist, and I don't feel like actually going to google and retrieving the link the hard way. |D
SO INSTEAD I WILL DERP ABOUT SOUL SILVER BECAUSE OMG SO MUCH HAPPINESS THAT I CANNOT CONTAIN IN MY BODYYYYYY
I chose the girl trainer and decided to name her Aqua, after my current favorite BADASS LADY /points to icon~ (sob want to play bbs ;;). It really bothers me, though, that I couldn't name the "Gold" character - apparently his name is Ethan and that is all you can do about it. Ethan? I mean, it isn't a bad name, it just makes me think of Ethan Craft from Lizzie McGuire.
The Silver counterpart in this game is so effing sexy oh my god. His little smirk deal in the opening sequence? GUH. *fans self* And I always forget how much more of an asshole game!Silver is as opposed to PS!Silver lol~ I mean, they're both jerks, but PS!Silver is a Jerk With a Heart of Gold (and also he's totally deredere around Blue ;~; ♥), whereas game!Silver is just a Jerk. XD I always have a hard time explaining to my familiar-with-Pokemon-but-not-PokeSpe friends what the difference is between characters from the games versus the anime versus the manga.
[ On a tangential note, I have only seen five total episodes of the eariest arcs of the Pokemon anime, but every time I see a screenshot of Paul, I get the chills. Is no one else weirded out by the fact that he looks like a thirty-year-old man? Is it just me? Also, I saw an analysis one time on Bulbapedia that looked at his hair and clothes and suggested that he was the anime's answer to the GS rival character, and compared rare concept art of game!Silver to Paul, and it was really obvious, and that freaked me out. How can you go from fricking Silver, the sexiest bad boy in all incarnations of the canon, to....Paul? Clearly, the anime creators hate the fans. Or something. I MEAN GOD, HIS EYEBROWS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO GAIN SENTIENCE AND TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE. ]
Anyway, to prevent myself from getting creeped out by game!Silver's assery versus PS!Silver's woobieness, I changed my original plan and named him Akechi, after the legendary Japanese red-headed traitor general. :|b
Starter: Cyndaquil (duh - I always go for the fire starter), female, named OZYMANDIAS (so when she kicks people's asses, I can be like LOOK ON MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR)
Other Pokemon caught so far:
Hoothoot - male, nicknamed Ares, for the Greek god of war (it was going to be Pallas, but then I realized I hadn't caught a female :/)
Rattata - male, nicknamed Scabbers for...obvious reasons.
Geodude - male, nicknamed Haru, for the earthbender guy from Avatar
Bellsprout - male, nicknamed Kurama because I couldn't get "ROSE WHIP LASH!" out of my head XD
Gastly - male, nicknamed DASTRANGLR which is supposed to read "DA STRANGLER," because idek, Gastly smother you in your sleep and stuff. It was getting late by that point.
It's probably pretty obvious that nicknaming is my favorite XD
I'll probably do daily game updates as we go? Or at least regular game updates. I'm grinding to face Falkner right now :|b

Date: 2010-03-18 08:55 pm (UTC)Bay the Bayleef (female)
Muscle the Machop (female) (this is one of the in-game trades, I didn't name it)
Evan the Ekans (he's named after Evan Lysacek ffff)
Androdream the Flaaffy (male) (because it's an electric sheep thing and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and... yeah)
Skopje the Zubat (female) (named after the capital of Macedonia, and I don't even know why lmao)
I can never come up with halfway cool names or ones that have a pun in them or anything. It's always just... random crap. Except for Attila the Huntail. I think that one is clever. Too bad he was just for my Pokedex.
