Epic Mudkip's POKEMON REVIEWS: Diamond Version

Graphics: Up until I got Diamond, I had only played Ruby. When I started on Diamond, I was amazed with the graphics. They get a bit boring as the game progresses, but they were nearly as good as Generation 5, and when you encounter Dialga, the graphics are AMAZING.
9.5/10

 Plot: Sadly, Graphics might be the only good thing in this game. The plot was boring, basically Team Galactic going around trolling. Not much else. I felt they didn't really introduce you to the Champion, Cynthia, that well. She only appeared 2 or 3 times before the Elite Four battle, and didn't do much..
2.5/10

New Pokemon: Finally, I can talk about how much I hate the designs of Generation 4. Really? Skuntank? It's a skunk. Not a Pokemon. Purugly? Just because you try to make it ugly doesn't mean it's a good idea. Infernape? Flaming monkey. Very creative. NOT. While Infernape may be good competitively, he's not good design-wise. And Drifloon? A Pokemon that pretends to be a balloon, then kidnaps children? Man, if we have little kids playing Pokemon these days, I bet they're bursting into tears at every birthday party. Sheesh Gamefreak. You could've been more creative here. Even Generation 5 was better.
1/10

Music: Decent music. In Old Chateau, the music creeped me out so much I was scared to play at night, or when I was alone. They did get lazy when they were working on the church. as it has no music.
8/10

Map: Boring map. The cities all seemed repetitive, and there wasn't too much to do after beating the game.
5/10

Overall, this game gets 5.2 points out of 10. Hope you enjoyed this review!

Great Pokemon YouTubers

Here are my 3 favorite Pokemon YouTubers. You should really watch them, they are excellent.

Lueroi--He has excellent walkthroughs, and is very funny. If you like Marriland, (I'm not really a Marriland fan, but everyone says these two are similar) then try Lueroi. He inspired me to make this site, no joke.

TheJWittz--Everyone watches TheJWittz. But no one told me about him, I just randomly stumbled across a video of his, the one about Ash never aging. That video convinced me to suscribe.

TamashiiHiroka--She pretty much inspired me to write that last article about how Pokemon is for people of all ages. And I just stumbled across her today, literally. Pretty interesting videos.

Why Anyone Can Play Pokemon

This is something I've been dying to go over for years, so let's get started. Pokemon really doesn't have an age restriction. Many Pokemon fans have friends, usually peers, who don't play Pokemon and ridicule them for playing it. This is ridiculous. I guarantee that if they just tried the game, they'd be playing it, too.
Pokemon's target age is around 7-11 years old. But not many 7-11 year-olds play it. Let me put it this way.
That's exactly how to put it.
Problem is, no one pays attention to the games ratings these days. eC is for any age. E is for 6+. E10+ is for 10 and up. See where I'm going? T is for 13 and up. So why do we have 6 or 7 year-olds playing T-rated games? It just gets worse. M is for 17+, so why do we have 7-9 year-olds playing Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto? But you can't really be too young or too old to play Pokemon. Which makes it a great game.
Ever seen a kid playing Pokemon X/Y? Probably not. Pokemon tends to be more of a college-age thing these days.
So, if you don't care when your friends mock you for playing Pokemon, and play it anyway, that's a sign that you're more mature than they are.
Hope you all liked this!

Epic Mudkip's POKEMON REVIEWS: Ruby Version

This is a new series for Epic Mudkip. Basically, I'll be reviewing Pokemon games and rating them. This first one is on Pokemon Ruby, one of my favorites.

Graphics: The graphics could have been much better, compared to other GameBoy Advance games I've seen. Who knows, if they were a bit better, maybe Pokemon Diamond would have looked like Pokemon X and Y. I'll give the graphics a
3/10

Plot: I loved the plot. Basically, Team Magma tries to steal Groudon to dry up the seas, making more room for land Pokemon. You have to chase them all over Hoenn, but, they eventually get the Orb and control Groudon. It turns out to be a disaster, and you have to defeat/capture Groudon to end the burning sunlight disaster thingy. I'll give plot a
9/10

New Pokemon: Wow. A lot to say about this. Generation III introduced so many of my favorite Pokemon, such as Mudkip, Blaziken, Treecko, Swalot, Glalie, Slaking, Breloom, and Rayquaza. Not to mention Wynaut, Manectric, Metagross, Sceptile, Azurill, and Tropius. For all of you who say Game Freak started running out of Pokemon ideas after Generation I, just look at Generation III.
10/10

Music: Loved the music. The music makes up for everything that the graphics screw up. While it can give you extreme headaches at times, (such as the Drought theme), the Mt. Pyre and Elite Four themes make up for that.
9/10

Map: The locations in this map were very interesting. The Abandoned Ship, creepy as it was, was fun to explore, and had a few useful items hidden in it. I liked how you could get to the roof of the department store, wishing for a hack or something that lets you jump off. Game Over. Splat. The best parts of all were the Safari Zone and the Trick Master's house. The Safari Zone had tons of unique Pokemon, and the Trick Master's house was something I wished would happen again in later games.
9.5/10

Overall, this game gets 8.1 points out of 10. Hope you enjoyed this review!

Ash's Coma Theory, and Why It's Garbage

I assume you have already heard of this theory. If not, google 'ash coma' , and this creepypasta will be the first thing that pops up. Here is what I think of this theory.
So, the theory states that after Pikachu zapped Ash, Ash promptly went into a coma and imagined the rest of his journey, while in the coma, and that by completing his journey, he could escape the coma. This is absolute crap. I'll do as much as I can to disprove it, now.

"This theory explains why Ash doesn't physically change much."
Really, how many children's shows have you seen where the main character ages? And even if Ash did age, throughout the whole length of the series, he'd still be only about 12. 12, 10, not much difference. And he does look a little different...

"It explains why everything was calm when he started."
Every movie/TV show starts out normal and peaceful, and then gets into the swing of things and gets adventurous. Ash was just beginning. He hadn't hardly left his TOWN yet.

"It's why, when he goes to a new region, no one knows him, even though he has placed high in the Pokemon Leagues."
Ever heard of a Chinese pop star? Name one. Tick, tock, tick. Time's up! Betcha didn't get any. There ARE some however. You just didn't know them, because we are in a different culture. Same thing goes for the anime. No one knew Ash, because their culture was different, and they were too busy focusing on THEIR regions trainers.

"It explains why Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy are in every city. Ash recognized them from his hometown, and in his dream, imagined them everywhere."
Game Freak was too busy working on other things to care about working on a nurse or policewoman for EVERY city, which is like, over 100. That's more minor characters than there are Pokemon in certain generations.

I hope I've convinced everyone that this is garbage. Bye.

A Few Things I'd Like To Go Over

Charizard is 5'07", people. Not 9'07", 5'07", which is 5 inches taller than me, and I'm a 13-year-old who hasn't even had a growth spurt yet. Charizard is MUCH smaller than we think he is, even though the anime depicts Ash's runt Charizard (Yes, it's a runt!) at the same size as a Dragonite, which is over 7 feet tall.
This is Hitmonchan's Generation 1 sprite. Think it looks unusual? Probably not if you haven't heard the little joke about it. If you look closely at it, you'll see it looks like a Togekiss watching a Doduo take a dump. Look at the photo below.
See it? Now try to un-see it.
Sorry, ugly dude screaming "WHY!?!" I've never been able to un-see it either. :P
This one might be hard to see, being blurry and all, but it's by far the best fan theory I've ever heard of. It talks about how Venomoth and Butterfree may have been switched before the game's release. Look at the similarites between Venonat and Butterfree. They have the same antennae, eyes, mouth, teeth, feet, hands, and somewhat similar color. Now look and Metapod and Venomoth. Same eyes, same, uhmm, nothing much similar between those two. But Venomoth and Caterpie? Eyes, head, body, yeah, I think the evolutions were switched.
Stay tuned for more interesting topics like this!

A Few Things I Drew




Just a few things I drew. Hint: If you wanna make things like these, use Paint, which comes with all Windows computers.

Mudkip Theories #3--Old Chateau

Here is my theory on how Old Chateau came to be. If you've never heard of this place, you haven't played D/P/P.
Fantina and her daughter lived together in an old house. Their butler lived with them, and raised the girl like a father. Fantina had to run some errands in Hearthome City one day, and she left them at the house. While she was gone, Gastly took over the house. The girl was too young to have any Pokemon, but the butler fought back at the Gastly with his Rotom. The Gastly swiftly annihilated the girl and the butler, but Rotom kept knocking out many Gastly. The Gastly chased Rotom throughout the house. Rotom, knowing it was outnumbered, hid inside the television. Some Gastly went throughout Sinnoh, getting rid of every Rotom in hope of knocking out the real one.This is why the Rotom in Old Chateau is the only one you can find. The Rotom of Old Chateau remained inside the television, forever, and was never found by Gastly. Gastly hid inside the statues, paintings and everything. When Fantina came back, she was astonished. She became a Ghost-type Gym Leader so that she could learn more about her dead loved ones. There's my theory on Old Chateau.

Mudkip Theories 2---Why Ash Is Forever 10

This causes so many people so much trouble. It's really simple, to be honest. Ready? Ok. Here's the theory.
How many children's shows have you seen where the main character ages, and eventually dies? None. It just doesn't happen. Plus, Game Freak probably thought it was smart to make the main character of the anime about the same age as the Pokemon fans. As someone who is still playing Pokemon, despite being older than 10, I think this is ridiculous. But still, it probably seemed logical to them.
Now there's the theory. Stop talking about these absurd comas.

Da Mudkip is back in the house!

I'm back forreal this time. I've come up with some more Mudkip theories. And also, I may move to a real website soon instead of this blogsite. Considering Wordpress. Anyway, stay tuned.
