If you don't know yet, I HATE <span class="explain" title="and all variants">Wikicode</span>. No offense to anyone, but I hate it with a vengeance. Personally, I'd much rather just be able to use HTML and CSS. Bulbapedia isn't bad with its support of HTML, but it would be much easier if it would parse for the img and a tags instead of automatically linking them.

There are quite a few reasons why we all wish we could have a bug type, but sadly most of them are too horrible to use commercially. Of course, there are a few exceptions: like Ninjask, Shuckle, Shedinja, Yanmega, and possibly Forrretress and Scizor.

Of course, there are a few exceptions: like Ninjask, Shuckle, Shedinja, Yanmega, and possibly Forrretress and Scizor.

<h2>Whoa!</h2> | |||
I've recently been re-training my Gallade, and I just finished EV training my [[Kirlia_(Pokémon)|Kirlia]] in speed. I gave it 252 in speed, and it hadn't gained a level yet from its speed training. Later, it gained a level, and Whoa!, it gained +10 in speed! I was both startled and impressed. I have a good feeling that it'll be even better than my current Gallade! It should have impressive stats! | |||
<h2>About that Kirlia...</h2> | |||
Well, sadly, it evolved into a Gallade. You may be wondering why that's sad, and here's why. Because I only have one DS lite, and I needed to get it to my Platinum Version so I could teach it Drain Punch, I put it up on the GTS and used my Platinum Version to get it off the GTS. It worked, and I got it on my Platinum. So now it's my perfect Gallade; perfect EV's, perfect nature, perfect moveset. I put it back up on the GTS to trade it to my Pearl, and before I could get it back, someone else snatched it. PLEASE, IF YOU GOT AN AWESOME GALLADE OFF THE GTS IN EXCHANGE FOR A GIRATINA, PLEASE TRADE IT BACK TO ME. IT HAD LEAF BLADE, ICE PUNCH, DRAIN PUNCH, AND SWORDS DANCE. I was stunned. I was also mad. Very mad. That Gallade was going to help me get a 100-win streak in the Battle Tower. I mourned for an hour or two, then decided that I probably should just let it go for now. | |||
<h2>DSi review</h2> | |||
I got a DSi recently, and I thought that I might as well write a review on it. Here are the pros and cons: | |||
<h3>Pros</h3> | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>SD card slot, allowing you to back up DSi ware, explained below.</li> | |||
<li>DSi ware, one of the biggest and best improvements. You can get DSi games off of the online store in exchange for DSi points.</li> | |||
<li>Cameras; two in fact. One is on the outside of the DSi, and the other is next to the microphone on the inside.</li> | |||
<li>Photo and Sound applications. Very useful and fun</li> | |||
<li>Much faster! Processor improvement which makes a noticeable speed increase.</li> | |||
<li>Bigger Screens: barely noticeable when you're looking for it, but obvious when you go to play one of your favorite games.</li> | |||
<li>In-game screen brightness adjustment. Hold select and increase or decrease the sound.</li> | |||
<li>IT FINALLY TELLS YOU HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERY!!!</li> | |||
<li>ErRoR cOdEs: TeLlS yOu WhAt WeNt WrOnG wHeN iT cAn'T cOnNeCt To WiFi.</li> | |||
<li>Longer and thinner: easier to hold.</li> | |||
<li>Buttons don't wear out from playing too much MarioKart, unlike the DS lite.</li> | |||
<li>Power button acts as a home button, so you don't have to turn it off to play DSi Ware.</li> | |||
<li>You can draw in rainbow in pictochat.</li> | |||
<li>Longer stylus.</li> | |||
<li>You can get a system update to make it better!</li> | |||
<li>Finally, a licensed web browser instead of a bootlegged one!</li> | |||
<li>You can change the card games while it's still on!</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
<h3>Cons</h3> | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>Not much of a con for me because I still have my DS lite, but no GBA card slot.</li> | |||
<li>Lower battery life.</li> | |||
<li>Another new charger.</li> | |||
<li>Charger is 4.6V, instead of the older 5.2V, resulting in a longer recharge time.</li> | |||
<li>Deceptive camera, although the camera on the outside looks to about the size of an American dime, it has no better resolution on the camera on the inside, which is the size of the end of a straw.</li> | |||
<li>Matte coat makes grease smudges from fingers more noticeable, and you can't shine it obsessively.</li> | |||
<li>Power button instead of a slider like on DS lites, so it's easy to press in the middle of a game.</li> | |||
<li>Volume has up and down buttons instead of slider - VERY annoying.</li> | |||
<li>Shorter head on stylus.</li> | |||
<li>Goodbye soft reset button code, we enjoyed how you made us feel tech-savvy by using you.</li> | |||
<li>DSi Ware loads PAINFULLY slow. Or at least it seems that way when you've seen how fast the apps on the iPhone and iPod Touch load (whoa!).</li> | |||
<li>Expensive!</li> | |||
<li>Now it only has <strong>two</strong> speaker holes...</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
All in all, the DSi is a great upgrade from the DS lite, and an amazing upgrade from a regular DS. Just don't trash those old DS's! | |||
<h2>Update to the EV optimizer!</h2> | |||
On my spare time, I decided that the optimizer could use a little work. In response, I did my best to style it to the tastes of all, and added the option to choose your level (because of the VGC tourneys). Anyway, it's [http://masd.21classes.com/pub/MASD/DavidKo/Stat_Calculator.htm here]. | |||
<h2>Daily (<u>bleh</u>)</h2> | |||
I have now started the Daily (<u>bleh</u>). The Daily (<u>bleh</u>) attempts to brighten your day by including random links to around Bulbapedia expressing how I feel (obscurely). The page that (<u>bleh</u>) links to will change every day, but will remain consistent throughout an entire day. I invite you to (<u>bleh</u>) along with me, and use this usertag: | |||

Just add your own (<u>bleh</u>) link to the end of your signature, and you are an official (<u>bleh</u>)er. Post your sig on my talk page under (<u>bleh</u>) so I know how many people are (<u>bleh</u>)ing. We shall soon have our own category!<br /> | |||
