<h2>Whoa!</h2> | <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! | I've recently been re-training my Gallade, and I just finished EV training my [[Kirlia_(Pokémon)|Kirlia]] in speed.

<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 a half-dollar, 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! | |||
