Why Handheld Pokemon Games Are Worth it

As a fan of Pokémon and all Game Freak's games in general, I am very thankful to the developer for all the wonderful handheld role-playing games that you have made available for me to play, allowing me to experience what it's like to catch my own Pokémon and train them to be the very best. From Red Version and Blue Version to Sun and Moon, their latest games, Game Freak'sPokemon games have all been fun and engaging. They gave us players one Pokémon to start with and allowed us to continuously travel from one town to another to catch more Pokémon in the wild, fight trainers, and defeat Gym Leaders, This gameplay which prove that they are capable of anything makes these games worth it to me. Playing their Pokemon games is a challenging experience and one that is further enjoyed as players progress and are determined to become stronger to be a top trainer.

The journey that starts with obtaining a starter Pokémon from whichever generation and game--and its specifics too--and having to travel all over a region just so you will become stronger is an inviting challenge that should be welcomed with a sense of ambition. That is what the game fosters as you progress. You will have your first Pokémon with you but have the opportunity to catch as many as you can out in the wild--even though only six can be kept on hand. It is up to you to train them and make them the strongest they can be. It's always good to keep the ones who will lead you to victory because a shared win creates a unique bond between Trainer and Pokémon. It is up to every player to play in whichever way they feel comfortable with, making the journey an all-out fun time nonetheless. Remember, play in a way that resonates with you and just prove yourself to everyone who comes in your way that you are unstoppable.

We all want to know what will come next in our quest. Who will we come across? What Pokémon will we catch? When will there be an open challenge coming our way to fight a trainer or gym leader? Where can we find items that are needed to help our Pokémon feel better and make them stronger too? The answers we seek come our way as we continue to move through every town in the game. There is always something going on so it makes complete sense to play the game right and with enthusiasm till the very end.

It is how you start that matters. That is what the Pokémon handheld games taught me as I played to the very end. It is because of GameFreak that I got to experience what it's like to have my own Pokémon and create a bond that it is impeccable. I cannot thank the developers enough for the experience their Pokémon games gave me.

Signed
A passionate Pokémon player

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
