TOP 10 : My Top 10 Favourite Pokemons in Hoenn (Gen 3)

Yeah, I'm 21 and I still blog, about Pokemons.
I am always a huge fan of Pokemon and the only thing that I am feeling ashamed right now is that I didn't have the chance to play the latest Pokemon X and Y. Since I don't have a Nintendo 3DS, and there are still no sights of cracked emulators and ROMs, I guess I just have to wait patiently for a few more years for this to happen.

Once again here's another list of my Top 10 Favourite Pokemons, and this time its from the Hoenn Region, almost everyone's childhood. I can say that Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are the versions that most of us have played, and those were the good ol' days.

Same as the two previous posts that you can find here in case you missed out:

There are rules that I've implemented to my choices of the Pokemons, the rules are below:
-I will only pick the final evolution or that single Pokemon, I won't put Pokemon that aren't fully evolved into the list. 
-No legendaries, fuck no.

Okay, so, let the countdown begins!


10. Ludicolo
After watching Chuggaaconroy's Pokemon Emerald Let's Play, I've started to pay more attention to this Water/Grass sombrero-wearing weird-looking Pokemon. Ludicolo is here to wreck shit up!



9. Milotic
Do you believe in fairy tale? Milotic is like the female version of Gyarados. Evolved from the ugly-looking Feebas, they definitely doesn't look the same. The only difference is that Feebas is so fucking hard to find and catch!



8. Aggron
Motherfucking Aggron, so badass, and so slowwwwww. Aggron is one of the first six starters of my first Pokemon Ruby playthrough. But its speed is so damn slow it makes me wanna rip my hair off.



7. Altaria
 Well, Gen 3 sure has its fair share of Dragon Pokemons. And Altaria is one of them. I remember first facing against the Gym Leader Winona in the amazing Fortree City and she sent out this motherfucking fluffy bird. I tried using Electric moves on it and I was like "WHY THE FUCK THIS BIRD IS NOT WEAK AGAINST ELECTRIC?" Ohhh all these memories.


6. Salamence
I know I know, you guys saw this coming. Salamence is definitely a popular pick when it comes to everyone's favourite pokemons of the 3rd Generation. It is yet another Dragon/Flying Pokemon, and look at it, it is just exerting sheer badass-ness.



5. Absol
Well, I never know about how strong this Pokemon it until I watch the Let's Play by Chuggaaconroy. According to the PokeDex, it is known as the Disaster Pokemon because whenever Absol appears, bad things are going to happen. Now that's badass.



4. Blaziken
I hereby announce Blaziken is the most mainstream Pokemon of the 3rd Generation. Don't lie, all of you picked Torchic as your starter right?



3. Flygon
Based on my opinion, Flygon is definitely the weakest Dragon Pokemon out of all the others in the 3rd Generation. But still, I wanna say thank you for serving me as a trustworthy companion during my Pokemon Black adventure.



2. Gardevoir
 If your team doesn't has a Gardevoir in it, then you are not a player of the 3rd Generation. Everyone has their own Gardevoir, this is a universal rule, DON'T FUCKING BREAK IT!


And the NO.1 spot goes to...
.
.

1. META-FUCKING-GROSS!
Seriously, you can't get anymore awesome and badass than Metagross.
It has its own Facebook page, its own devoted fanbase.
Everything about Metagross is just awesome.
The only downside about it was that why you can only obtain it after finishing the storyline of the game?
WHY? I wanna wreck shit up with a Metagross during my first playthrough.
So ladies and gentlemen, prepare your anus, because METAGROSS is coming to town!


-------------------------------------------------------------------

That concludes my list.
Agree or disagree?
Well, everyone has their own fair share of opinion.
Until then, keep following my blog and see you guys next time.

God-fucking-zilla

Hey readers!
Well, since it's more than a month after my last update, I guess its time to do another movie review again.

This time, I'm going for the big one.


Godzilla

Review Title: Let Them Fight

After waiting for such a long time, I can definitely say that this movie doesn't disappoint me at all.
If you are looking for a movie that gives you fantastic-storytelling and great character development, no, this is not what you are looking for. But if you want an insanely-epic and heart-pumping monster movie, this is perhaps one of the best, if not the best monster movie for you.

The main character of this movie is Godzilla itself as it is a fucking beast, tearing shits apart and his enemies, the MUTOs are developed believably and logically too. Best part was when Godzilla used his signature Atomic Breathe, epicness was flowing through my veins during that very moment.

I have to give a nod to the director Gareth Edwards for setting the right standards and letting Godzilla played out like how it truly was. I'm not a big Godzilla fan, but at least I knew some facts about Godzilla and how it works, so the 1998's version by Roland Emmerich is nothing compared to this because that Godzilla looks like pussy comparing with this.

As expected, the CGI in this movie is superb. So much better than Transformers and Pacific Rim combined.
From the first Godzilla movie from Japan in 1954 until 2014, we have come a long way.

Rating : 9/10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, nothing really special happened recently.
Just came back from Penang Island Trip with my bros.
It was really fun and the foods there are amazing as usual.

Oh yeah, a new semester is starting soon.
Gotta buckle up! :)

Before I sign off, here's an awesome track to listen.


Wooooo!

9 Years




It's been 9 years.
All the ups and downs, all the joys and tears, all the loves and hates finally came to an end.
And it's been one hell of ride.

I got to admit, this is like the only American-TV Series that I can keep catching up until today.
Mainly because it's a heartwarming and lovely comedy.
How Marshall and Lily proceed through the next stage of their lives.
How Barney eventually gotten a hold of himself.
How Robin finally becomes a world-renowned TV News-reporter.
How Ted finally meet his wife.

Of course there are so many more that I didn't mention. But this is all about the experiences.
All the memorable lines, quotes, sentences spoken by the characters in the film. All the exciting and upsetting moments in the film. All the laughters I had watching this film. All the things that happened.
It's just that so many things happened in these 9 years and the crews of this show are still be able to keep them all intact and never mess it up. It's just so amazing.

About the ending though, not many people liked it. Not going to spoil it here, based on my opinion, I am actually little upset about it. Seeing how things happened in the last season, it definitely had its moments.
The ending is both sad and happy mixed up altogether. Some people liked it, some people hated it. It doesn't have to satisfy everyone.

But still, I'm glad that I stayed true to this show for the past 9 years.
Just like what Ted said in the end:
" It was at times a long, difficult road. But I'm glad it was long and difficult, because if I hadn't gone through hell to get there, the lesson might not have been as clear.  "

We are all sad that it's coming to an end.
So, appreciate all the loves you had around you and if you still hadn't watch this yet,
what are you still waiting for?
You have 9 seasons to catch up to!

How I Met Your Mother
Rating: 9/10




'' Oh darling, you're going to be fine. You know for every marriage in the world like I had with your dad, there's a marriage like those two in there. Marriage is terrifying it's like flying, you know, you're filled with a mortal dread, but if you find someone you feel safe with, it's like, flying! But if you got someone that is really there for you, someone you can depend on, you're gonna be fine. Do you have someone like that? "

Heartbroken Tales

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog, so here I am.
Watched two Oscar-winning movies yesterday.
Gonna make a review out of both movies.



12 Years A Slave (2013)

So, this movie just won the Best Picture three days ago at the 86th Academy Awards. Tempted by it so I've decided to give it a try.

To be honest, it's not really a masterpiece in my opinion.
The story dates back to the 1840's about a free black man named Solomon Northup living with his wife and his children in New York. He was then lured by two con artists, kidnapped and sold to other states.

Upon watching this movie, I feel like it dragged way too long and there are too many unnecessary prolonging shots. Perhaps the Director (Steve McQueen) was trying to be artistic with those still shots of maybe river, sky, trees but I felt nothing but blandness. 

The acting by the Chiwetel Ejiofor is pretty decent, I can really feel his strong emotion throughout the entire movie. One thing though, it's that I just don't understand how come Lupita Nyongo's not so extradordinary performance can win her an Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress.

Other than that, the storytelling is pretty okay, not great. His interactions with his family are so little that it's forgettable throughout the film. The sudden appearance by Brad Pitt is also pretty dull and uninteresting and the movie just ends in a not so climatic way. Yes there are maybe a few suspenses here and there but it's not really a Best Picture-worthy movie.

And trust me, don't let your kids watch this movie. Quite many mature contents inside.
If you really wanna watch a movie similar to this, I suggest watching Django Unchained. That movie is way fucking better and the acting by Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and of course Leonardo DiCaprio was superb in that movie.

Overall, a 7/10 for this movie.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Second Oscar-winning movie that I've watched is this,

Lost In Translation (2003)

Lost In Translation is a movie about a faded movie star Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and a neglected newly-wed wife Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) forming an unlikely bond during their sudden cross-paths in Tokyo, Japan.

Halfway through watching this movie I was thinking to myself that "Oh god, not other bland movie again". 
And then I realized this movie is really about the feelings and the emotions. Us as the viewers, should really kickback, relax and forgot about all our stresses in order to enjoy this movie. I always wondered why Scarlett Johansson was considered as one of the hottest actress in Hollywood, I find her not so pretty after all. But after watching this movie, my thoughts has changed. She is really beautiful in this movie, and I mean fucking beautiful. 

Bob is travelling to Japan for a few commercial-shootings whereas Charlotte is here with her newly-wed husband. Both of them are staying in the same hotel and are facing insomnia and they both felt neglected by their loved-ones. Bob occasionally talk on the phone his wife back in America but he just doesn't feel the love with his family while Charlotte's husband is leaving for work everyday, leaving her alone in the hotel room. Then one night, both of them cross-path.

The bond formed between Bob and Charlotte are not the sexual kind, instead, it's more about mutual trust and admiration. And both of their performances are fantastic I must say. Yes, it's pretty boring during some of the scenes but if you really put your heart into this movie, it's actually a great movie.

The third main point of this movie is none other than the city Tokyo itself. From the bright colors of the buildings to the noises of the crowd on the street, even the natural shrines and temples faraway from the city areas. It's all really soothing to look at.

I recommend this movie to all of you. If you are looking for a fun-time, this is not the movie for you. This is more like you trying to find yourself, trying to feel yourself by indulging yourself into the movie.

For relaxting times, make it Lost in Translation times.

Rating: 8.5/10

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a blink of an eye, it's already March of 2014.
Halfway through my second semester in my Uni life and I must say it's pretty okay.
Assignments are not unusually hard and I'm handling it well.

Don't worry, I won't let this blog go idle.
:)
Stay tuned for more updates in the future.

TOP 10 : My Top 10 Favourite Pokemons in Johto (Gen 2) / FIRST POST OF 2014!

Good lord, it's almost the end of January 2014 and here it is, my first post of this year.
Finally have the mood to write it now, and once again it's a ranking post, I just enjoy ranking things so much since I am a big fan of those ranking videos on YouTube.

One day I will definitely rank my 10 favourite YouTube channels for sure.
By the way, here's my list of the 10 favourite Pokemons in Johto region, meaning the 2nd gen Pokemons that are in Pokemon Gold and Silver.

Here's the rules on how I will pick the Pokemons, same as the last post:
-I will only pick the final evolution or that single Pokemon, I won't put Pokemon that aren't fully evolved into the list.
-No legendaries, fuck no.

And here is the link to the previous Top 10 post on the Pokemons in Kanto Region.
http://meandyouforthewin.blogspot.com/2013/04/top-10-my-favourite-top-10-pokemons-in.html

Well, without further adieu, let's begin and GOTTA CATCH EM' ALL!


10. Sudowoodo
 This rock tree thingy is one of the first Pokemon that have accompanied me to the Elite Four the first time I got my hands on Pokemon Gold. Gotta give this guy a little credit.


9. Ampharos
I'm pretty sure that everyone who plays Pokemon Gold/Silver will definitely have this sheep/giraffe thingy in their team. The first Electric Pokemon that you can encounter in the game and everyone will definitely catch it for sure.


8. Lanturn
Nothing could go wrong with a Water/Electric type Pokemon right?


7. Crobat
Forget about Zubat, Crobat is a fucking beast. One of the fastest Pokemon ever existed, look at the Pikachu smiling so happily because they are flying so fucking fast.


6. Espeon
There have never been an Eeveelution that's so amazing except Espeon.
Probably everyone's favourite Psychic Pokemon for sure.
Dat glow...


5. Typhlosion
When we were kids, we have always picked the Fire Starter Pokemon and Typhlosion is definitely one of them. A fucking beast for sure. 


4. Noctowl
A lot of people neglected Noctowl as their primary Flying Pokemon. Yes, it has weak stats, but I feel like having a Noctowl is like having a trustworthy companion. Noctowl will always have that special place in my heart, thank you buddy.


3. Heracross
A Bug/Fighting Pokemon, a beetle, and it's way better than Pinsir?
Count me the fuck in!


2. Tyranitar
The pseudo-legendary Pokemon of the 2nd generation.
GO TYRANT OR GO HOME!

1. Kingdra
Kingdra will forever be the best Water Pokemon ever. Solid stats, no weaknesses except Dragon moves. This seahorse right here is a straight-up beast. The only downside about it is that you need to trade Seadra holding a Dragon Scale in order to get him. Otherwise, it will wreck all the shit up.


-------------------------------------------------------------

So guys, this is my first post of 2014.
More posts will be coming soon and stay tuned.

Oh yeah, Happy Chinese New Year in advance!
