Parts 1, 2 and 3 here. And here we are folks, the final part of this huge rewrite of Pokémon Horizons. I can't begin to tell you how fun it's been taking the original series and giving it a change for the better. Now for this part, we give Horizons the conclusion it deserves by making Season 6 entirely about Blueberry Academy and ditching Season 7's original premise entirely so we can instead making Season 7 all about wrapping up the Laqua storyline. So without further ado, l

Parts 1 and 2 here. And so here we are ladies and gentlemen, Part 3 of my Pokémon Horizons rewrite. The previous four seasons were easy enough as I stuck mostly to what came before while making changes when appropriate. But for this part, I'm more or less rewriting everything from the ground up while keeping very little of the original seasons. The time-skip era of Horizons is when the show really jumped the Sharpedo and just felt directionless with no sense of what the story

Part 1 here. For this part, we rewrite Seasons 3 and 4 and see how things will play out in this new version of Pokémon Horizons. Let's dive in! Season 3: Terastal Debut Here we are, my most hated season of the series and DEFINITELY one that's in need of a rewrite! In fact, as you know I already did rewrite it, but now I have to rewrite it all over again so it fits this version of Horizons. Talk about rewrite-ception. XD So yeah, once again, it's time to rewrite Terastal Debut

Hey, remember that time I did a rewrite of Pokémon Horizons Season 3? Well now this time, I'm going even further by doing a full rewrite of the entire series. Why? Because the show has been such a frustrating roller-coaster of quality where it gives us one good season, then follows up with two bad ones, is choc full of asinine writing decisions and missed opportunities that I feel this thing deserves a full-blown rewrite, not just Season 3 at this point. It's such a shame bec

Hey everybody, it's that time of year again, another review of a new season of Pokémon Horizons. Hoo boy, what a ride it's been, am I right? It still feels like yesterday when me and many other fans were watching the very first episode and getting a taste on what a post-Ash Pokémon anime was going to be like. Too bad it was one of those shows that had such a strong start and then failed to live up to said strong start. As a recap on what I think of the series thus far, Season

With Pokémon: Legends Z-A's release earlier this year, it was only inevitable I'd be making a list like this some time afterwards. One of the biggest selling points of Legends Z-A was the return of Mega Evolution, the gimmick having been absent in Pokémon games from Sword & Shield onwards. Unlike most players, I had no issue with Mega Evolution being gone because it meant we could try out new battle gimmicks, and much better ones in my opinion since Dynamaxing and Terastaliza

Man, what an anniversary celebration that was. GameFreak really pulled all the stops for this one with that presents last week that gave montages of all the various gens over the years and gave us a lot of new info regarding the games, both current and upcoming. But of course, the biggest one of the bunch was the reveal for the upcoming tenth generation of the franchise with the next mainline games being publicly announced. Ladies and gentlemen, Pokémon fans of all ages, it

Continued from Part 1. Favourite Pokémon Battle: Ash vs. Paul (Sinnoh League) Sorry to be so obvious. XD But seriously, what else was I going to pick for my favourite Pokémon battle of all time? OK, some other battles out there like Ash vs. Leon, Ash vs. Paul (Lake Acuity) and Ash vs. Sawyer were worthy contenders, but this one was the only one I feel that was ever going to take the top spot. Ash vs. Paul at the Sinnoh League is pretty much everybody's favourite battle in the

Happy 30th Anniversary Pokémon! Flippin' heck...this franchise is officially THIRTY YEARS OLD now?! I remember being there when the franchise started! How far we've come since then... For those who have been following my blog since the day I posted my first post, you'll no doubt be very aware of the fact I am a massive Pokémon fan. Heck, the second post I ever created for this blog was a Pokémon related post! And I've gone on to make many, many, MANY Pokémon related posts o

I know, seems rather soon, doesn't it? Pokémon Legends Z-A has only just come out in October, and already we've got DLC to play for it? That's just nuts! As is, here we are with the Mega Dimension DLC expansion for Legends Z-A . Some may criticize GameFreak for announcing a DLC before the main game even released, but some also think this might be because Legends Z-A got pushed back a year and that the DLC was always meant to release this year while the main game was meant t

Written by KivatheDCWizard Hello everyone, I’m the Passing-through Kamen Rider, and if it is cheesy I love it. As you know I’m a Pokémon fan, and I love the games. Now, the Paldea Region in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet allow us to face important opponents in a way that every type is countered. Between the Titan Pokémon, the Gym Leaders and the Star Bosses every type was represented. So I thought, why not a similar system for another region? What if aside from the Gym Leader

This was inevitable. Go on, admit it, you all knew this post was coming. XD With two Legends games in the Pokémon franchise, it's inevitable that they're going to be compared to one another. Pokémon: Legends Arceus really defied all expectations for a Pokémon game and proved to be GameFreak's most experimental title to date. The game was met with critical acclaim from fans and critics alike and is considered possibly THE best Pokémon game of the Switch era. Legends Z-A by com

Continued from Part 1. Section 3: The Gameplay Now for the interesting part, for Legends Z-A boasts the biggest change in Pokémon 's usual gameplay style we've had since the franchise began. One could argue that Legends Arceus did it first with its two fighting styles, but Legends Z-A really made a big change to how Pokémon games are usually played. Before we get to that big change, let's talk about the smaller parts of the gameplay first. As this is a game with a single ci

I've done a series of posts all about playing the game, now it's time to finally review it. Pokémon: Legends ZA has had an...interesting impact on the fandom. This game went from being incredibly hyped back when it was first revealed last year to being completely ridiculed when it was released. I can't tell you how depressing it was to see this game go from anticipated to hated so quickly and all because of irrelevant things like "flat building textures" or some nonsen

Read Day 9 here. We're at the climax of the game at last everybody, so let's get right into it! Time To Save Lumiose City! Team MZ rushes over to Prism Tower to meet up with Vinnie. As we can see, the situation is quite dire as the scaffolding surrounding the tower has fallen to bits and Prism Tower is glowing with Mega Energy. We have to get in on the action now before all hell breaks loose. However, Floette needs to go with the strongest Mega Evolution trainer and so Urbain

Read Day 8 here. We're back and it's time to get pay back on Jacinthe for being such a pest last time! Also a lot of other things happened to, so maybe grab a snack or a drink or something. This could take a while... Teaching Jacinthe A Lesson and Claiming Rank B So now everything's done with, I attend Jacinthe's tournament with Urbain accompanying me. I even put my nice suit back on for the occasion. The tournament's basically me and other characters in the game battling it

Read Day 7 here. Bit of a slower day this one, but still got some exciting stuff to talk about. Battling My Team Mates And Getting Pestered By The SBC AZ gives Lida and Naveen Mega Rings so they're now able to Mega Evolve a Pokémon they own...or at least Lida would be able to if she bothered to evolve her Staryu. =P Because she hasn't yet, the Key Stone is useless to her. Naveen however... ...gets to show off his brand new Mega Scrafty. As for what I think to it...eh, it's fi

Read Day 6 here. We're back everybody and I've got a lot to talk about for this part! Brawling With Ivor For Rank D Remember Ivor from all the way back in Day 1? As predicted, he's in the Z-A Royale too and is at Rank D, so he's clearly a tough one to beat. Before I face Ivor though, he's in a bit of a state because he's wondering where his sister Gwynn is. He has no idea where she is and like any loving brother is naturally worried about her. Apparently he's such a brute tha

Read Day 5 here. Let's continue with the next day as I battle more Rogue Megas! Battling Rogue Mega Beedrill, Hawlucha and Banette As mentioned in the previous part, those three were the next Rogue Megas to battles. Since I want a Mega Hawlucha, I obviously went for Hawlucha first so I could claim the Hawluchanite and Mega Evolving my own Hawlucha. Not to mention it'll give me the perfect time to take him for a test battle when I go for Beedrill next. ;) Before I did those bo

Read Day 4 here. Day 4 wasn't the most productive day I had on the game, but Day 5 I promise you will have more to talk about. So let's get into it! (Finally) Continuing the Story So after the massive detour I took yesterday, I went back to Hotel Z and re-joined my friends to have a team meeting. During this meeting, we find out about three potential Rogue Mega Evolution sightings and we have to knuckle down to them before chaos ensues. While Urbain and Lida are taking the si
