I made an interesting discovery: I do have a Sinistcha on Violet. So, now I just need to fix it and there’s my first Trick Room setter. That just leaves Pelipper and Sneasler to spin the recruit ranch wheel for now. And I also have an Armor Tail Farigiraf. Again needs to be trained better,…

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time, and certainly the best on economics. I thought Morgan Housel’s book was good, but this one went so much deeper and more in depth about the real problems facing our world. And I agree with about 95 percent of what she says,…

Yes, I love Taylor Swift. She is one of my absolute heroes. If you have a problem with it, well, I can’t help you… Quotes from the book Rob Sheffield on His First Impressions of Her 1989 Album: “The songs were great—they were Swift songs—but each one made it harder to comprehend why she was…

I’ve thrown winning with just recruits out the window. I’m just too impatient. I went to bring in my Delphox just to get the stone, but actually, I forgot I had transferred it in before and forgot to look at my items. Anyway, I also am bringing my Tyranitar, Emboar, Aegislash, and Tyranitar from ZA.…

I’m reading E.B. White’s Writings from The New Yorker, 1927-1976, edited by Rebecca M. Dale. First, I’ll read the introduction by Dale. Rebecca Dale worked on an independent study project at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1988, where she read all of E.B. White’s New Yorker work. This book is a result of collecting many pieces…

Time to bring in the big guns! They aren’t perfect to start with but from Violet we’re bringing in Meowscarada, Palafin, Shiny Garchomp, and Shiny Incineroar. From ZA, we’re getting my Charizard for a Solar Power wallbreaker; this way I have two charizards each optimized for the different mega stones. I could bring in my…

After that horrible run of luck, I did indeed take the entire rest of the day off… from Pokemon entirely. I managed to reset my sleep schedule back to normal too, but I was sluggish and didn’t get back to the game until later in the morning today. The good news is, we can’t do…
