My problems and the futrue of pokemon games

Pokemon video games came out in 1996 and the anime came out in about 1998 if i remember and this is where my main problem lies within the concept of the game and the anime are basically different. as a series i think Pokemon is a great series that helps kids learn to relay on themselves and their friends and/or pokemon. but when you compare the games with the anime, they are completely different in terms of the baiscs. now i am not talking about the story because of course the anime would have longer stories and more towns even though sometimes the stories can be too long. but it is the battles i have a problem with because the games are turn based and thats fine but when the anime is real time and you can have the player think on a moments notice, take ash's first battle with brock and his rock pokemon now ash used water to weaken onix and used thundershock to win in the game that would not happen since rock pokemon are strong when facing electric pokemon. so why can they not make a a pokemon game where you can control the pokemon and trainer as one in real time battles and i do understand why they cant do it for the ds/3ds but i would really like to see that as a consle game and maybe have extra towns as sidequests similar to fallout 3 where you did not have to follow a certain path to get someplace so i do believe  this could be the future of pokemon if they do it right

Hurricanger Thoughts

I just finished watching Hurricanger, which now makes 7 sentai series finished. Now Hurricanger is a bit of a odd show as normally a toku show would normally be a little bit more comedy or more serious but Hurricanger manages to stay right in the middle with a little bit of comedy to it. but there are a couple problems about the series in all. The first problem is there are about two or three episodes where there is one character who forgets the stuff they have learned and relearn it in that episode, the second problem i have is that they are supposed to be ninjas and yet they do not do many ninja stuff like in some episodes that they can jump long distances in a short time but they almost always end up using their hang gliders or they run and they have all these techniques but they use the same moves over and over and my final problem is the ending now the ending is really good except in the beginning like ninja storm the schools the Hurricangers and Gouraijers are captured and it is never established that they are dead or not and yet in the ending only the Hurricangers and Gouraijers are shown and the other students are never shown after the first episode and flashbacks so in that way i prefer the ninja storm ending a little better as a ending but i still like think as a series is a lot better as a whole and megazords are some of my favorite designs and as characters go i think that the Hurricangers are better even though they have very few character development episodes so overall i do like Hurricanger as a show even though somewhere between 45 and 50 it does go a little slow it is worth a watch 7/10

The return of Kei Kishimoto

I just read the new chapter of gantz and in it came the return of one of my most hated characters in Kei Kishimoto. now when the readers were introduced to her in the first chapters i was like many where i thought she was hot and i would like her but as the chapters went on her personalty began to show. now at first Kei Kurono tries to hook up with Kei Kishimoto as Kei Kishimoto develops  feelings for Kei's best friend Masaru but she cant live with him because of his family so she goes and lives with Kei. now here is when she starts pissing me off because Kei is giving her his bed now granted they both have to sleep there and if i remember she uses sex to pay for rent but it has been two to three years since I read it but even after giving her a roof to live under and food to eat and a shower to keep herself clean, SHE IS A FUCKING BITCH. while yes Kei did grope her and try to have sex with her over and over until she finally gives in yet still every time is in the same room as Masaru, she runs right to him and avoid Kei all together, even asking him to be his pet and even when they are in Kei's home she does not stop talking about Masaru nonstop. she did die when she sacrificed herself to save Masaru from dying while he indeed does die later but was brought back. but now Kei was brought back and I am not looking foreward to it because I absolutely can not stand her as a fucking person in manga or real life, and while gantz has benn going downhill i will do a review when no if the series ends

TF Review HFTDTerradive

This review is a tryout for other figure reviews such as gundam, transformers, figuarts and others.So I am reviewing Hunt for the Decepticons Terradive. Terradive is a jet based on the Sukhoi SR-47. now in the jet mode is a variant of the cockpit, one is translucent orange and what I believe to be the variant a semi-translucent red cockpit. The jet colors are mostly orange with a black tip of the jet that forms two black lines going down the jet to the tail fins and white wings tips. The transformation is pretty easy when you know how to transform it but at first there is one step that if you can not figure out  it can mess up the body entirely. I would recommended the instructions for one then you can do it with out them. The robot mode is really nice looking, there is no kibble on it what so ever. Though I am not a fan of the chest due to how bulky it seems and how easy it is to mess up. The head is a very good sculpt but the light piping is clear and the eyes are painted red so when you shine the light though you see red with the regular light coming out of the edges. The arms are very good in look and articulation but mine seems a little tight when you move the arm away from the body, on the right shoulder is a 3 mm clip so it can hold the other weapons and Terradives weapon. The body is really nice but due to the transformation there is a small gap between the chest and back. The legs are very good and simple in transformation, the feet seem reversed to me where the black heel should be the foot while the white part is the heel but since it is the white part is the foot I feel like it breaks up the black and grey on the legs. The winds on the legs are a nice way to use the legs but on the right leg the wing on mine likes to pop out no matter how hard I press. The weapon is a trident which can fold up and placed on the underside of the jet and since it uses the 3mm clip and a clip on the back there are multiple ways to hold the weapon. The only con I have with the trident which is the side points of the trident is not that secure and does not plug in the well when the top is pulled down and the trident does feel really brittle. So overall Terradive is a very well done figure with a few problems but they can be overlooked so I give Terradive a 9 out of 10

Theory on time travel and paradox's

My theory on time travel is that time can only move forward, so when someone goes back in time, they actually go to a parallel world/universe where the time they want to go back to is the present in that world but since time has passed in the world they left they cant go back so if they go foreword in time they go foreword in that worlds time line instead of the world they left. This theory helps solve a lot of the problems with time travel such as paradox's. Now if you don't know a paradox's are things that can not exist because it leads to contradictions and defies logic and reason such as the grandfather paradox where if you go back in time and become your own grandfather so therefore you can not be born so therefore you could not go back in time etc but there are some stories such as -all you zombies- which is a favorite of mine where a number a paradox's occur where a single girl becomes her own mother father daughter. now i love the concept of paradox's because they show that almost anything is possible if you are willing to risk everything such as the universe or your reality could change and you would not even know it and accept as reality.

Ultraman episode 1

I just watched the first episode of the 1966 series Ultraman and well it was interesting. There were a couple interesting effects such as the underwater sub and it's missiles having rocket thrusters and when the main hero's ship goes flying, it looks like someone pulled the ships string and it went flying but the one effect i could not take was that almost every shot of Ultraman was a shot that could be considered dirty or a crotch shot and his face, now I never really liked the ultraman faces because they look too cross-eyed to me. I dont mind the karate chop hand beam thing I don't know the name but for a first episode it kind of dragged and the dub was not as funny as I thought it would and surprisingly the sub was funnier then the dub. As a series I can not say if it is good or not after a episode but as a first episode I felt like it was a bit slow and the final fight of the episode just seems dirty and sexual with the holds and grunts but I guess the fight was a good one so I give the first episode, a 7/10

Thoughts on Stolen Voices Buried Secrets

While watching American Chopper on tlc I saw a advertisement for this new show Stolen Voices Buried Secrets. The main plot of this show is basically your average csi show were they go over the case with interviews of the cops and family of the victim but the main twist for this show is that you get the narration and thoughts from the victim. While watching this show I thought it had a interesting concept but after the show ended, I had a HUGE problem with the show. When they found out who the killer was and why he did it was my main problem on this show. He explains that he asked he out and she rejected him and that i did not have a problem with because as he says he lost it but the main problem is that he says she pushed him when she rejected him, so that got me to thinking what makes this show different is not the narration of the victim but it is a show all about perception. Like every show before it they have interviews with the family and friends which of course their views are going to be biased due how close they were. But they do not show if she was really like that, which is just like all other kinds of csi type shows but she could have been the girl that is rude and snobby to people. So why do I think that she was this type of girl because they show her as a innocent girl who could do no wrong that lives in a small town who worked at a pool where her body was found, now the guy said he had hit on her and she rejected him  but what could have happened is that she could have been rude and made fun of him all the time with her friends or without is up to you but maybe he put up with it because he liked her and after she rejected him she could have made fun of him some more and even the guy says she pushed him and that's where he lost it, and to me that makes perfect sense because of the show. They act like she was pure and innocent and yet the viewer or anybody would not know any better and especially how her narration acts and with her tone becoming mean and nasty they show that he admits he did it and she says that her murderer could not look at the pictures they had of her body and how disgusted he was now in the video his head was in his hands as he was crying so to me that shows it is not his fault entirely and she could have been the cause of her own murder and yet they act like she was innocent and he was a cold ruthless killer who got life. so that's my main problem with this show it only shows the view of the victim and their family and friend  and a few with cops, now i know they cant interview him and only get one side of the story. Will I try to watch it again, maybe just to see if they do it again or try to show both sides, so who knows. Overall I give this show a 3/10.
