What do you know, Nintendo ® is giving away free Shaymins!

July 1st, 2016

Not particularly a fan of this critter, but not averse to it, either.

Welcome, o new month!

You may have noticed that I mostly took June off, at least where the site is concerned. Or you might not have! June was a pretty weird month and, aside from a few exceptions, I wasn't feeling up to writing all that much. My hands were full with some serious happenings at home, but it would appear that those are ultimately on the mend, so I'm going to try and get back to work.

As much as I can with only ten minutes a day to write, that is. But that notwithstanding, today is the first day of July! Since it is a new month, it is time for all y'all to pick up another free Pokémon ™ from the fine dealers of digital crack at Nintendo ®. Though Shaymin is another of those cutesy 'mythical' generation enders, I wasn't a fan of this critter as much as I was its peers.

I think it's because they gave it a second form (or forme, as Nintendo ® likes to spell it) in subsequent games after the original fourth generation cartridges, one that made it look like a strange, plucky dog-thing. Or reindeer? I don't know! This might simply be a weird issue of the art for a thing skewing my perception of it, but eh. Your opinion might not be as silly as mine, so go get you one.

I will be too, of course, even though these critters aren't my favorites. Because why would I refuse a free legendary, psychic hedgehog plant thing, when it's just being flung at me? You wouldn't, would you? No sir, you wouldn't. Well, maybe if you didn't collect Pokémon ™ you would. But if you don't, why are you still listening to me ramble about the silly things?

You, gentle reader, need help.
