Why I won't replace my EXs with GXs.

To be honest, this article is super slapped together because the new Pokemon Sun and Moon Trading Cards came out this weekend! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this set and the new anime. It's been so long since I've been this excited about anything related to Pokemon, but ugh. I just can't contain my excitement!

So if you have any nerd friends at all, you probably know that the new Sun and Moon 3DS games came out in mid-November. I was equally excited for that as I am the new cards. I recently just finished the game, except for the Battle Tree. If y'all have any recommendations on how to beat that thing, I would seriously appreciate it. I keep losing in the third battle. It's incredibly frustrating. Anyway! I purchased Moon, and it was seriously one of the most fun games I've ever played. I literally logged over 50 hours in the thing. Mostly from trying to complete my life goal of completing a Pokedex, but you know. Fun, nevertheless.

With the new TCG (Trading Card Game), we are finally able to get our hands on the new GX cards that are replacing EXs and Breaks. While I have to admit I have pulled some beautiful cards since the set came out, I'm kind of disappointed to say the least. I was all excited about this crazy new set with these supposedly crazy good cards....Until I pulled the Espeon GX...

If you know anything about me, you know that my favorite Pokemon is easily Eevee, and my favorite Eevee-loution is Glaceon. So, you have to imagine my excitement when I heard that some of the Eevee-loutions were going to be part of the new GX cards. While the Espeon is an absolutely gorgeous card, it only does 60 damage..That's easily half of what an EX attack would do! How crazy. These supposedly crazy amazing new cards are really not that crazy amazing. Of course there are the ones that are super good, but the majority of them are not.

I know this probably sounds like I'm shoving poo in Pokemon's face, which I kind of am, but I'm not going to hark on this set too much. I really do love the set, and I will continue to buy the cards, but I'm not going to quit buying the older sets and playing EXs in my deck. Replacing all my EXs with GXs really isn't going to be worth it in the long run. My EXs will serve me just fine.

With that being said, go out and buy a Pokemon product. Support this amazing company that I have come to know and love for most of my life now. Literally, I've only been in existence not even one year longer than Pokemon.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
