Ending The Month With Extreme Pokémon Makeover

September 30, 2024October 1, 2024 by Alxala

After having fun with some more Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, I decided to give one of my Bug-type Pokémon a good makeover:

Yankee the Yanmega as a mutant dragonfly wearing a Turtwig mask

Yep, he has always been my dragonfly friend just like all my other Pokémon. 🙂 Anyways, I’ll be seeing y’all next month!

Have A Mysteriously Fashionable Star Pokémon

I’ve been destroying more enemy trainers in Pokémon Diamond earlier this afternoon, and here’s a screenshot of my latest fashionable Pokémon:

Vegas the Starmie, nicknamed after my Starmie from Pokémon LeafGreen for the GBA.

Yep, Vegas is always my favorite kind of superstar. 😛

Playing Some Tetris But With Japanese Fairies

August 7, 2024August 8, 2024 by Alxala

I decided to check out a Japanese Tetris-based puzzle game for the Game Boy called Chiki Chiki Tengoku, and the main objective in this game is to line up 3 or more different objects that descend onto the playing field which turn into stars while clearing the remaining others. Once the player completes a row of stars or more, the stars turn into fairies and the other remaining stars will be cleared out. Here’s a screenshot of the actual gameplay:

Another thing in this game is that the fairies can’t fly away from the playing field until the objects above them are either turned into stars or cleared from play. This game has positive abilities such as object transformers and rockets, and it also has a negative ability which is a diamond-shaped piece of brick, and if you make a row of them it takes up part of the playing field. Oh no!

Anyways, I have managed to clear levels from 1-1 to 3-4. Hooray!

Oh, and what I like about this game is there’s an in-game screensaver where fairies keep flying upwards every time a player clears a level. I love it! 😀

I’m now on level 4-2 in this game, and I think I’ll call it here for tonight. But yeah, this is a pretty fun puzzle game made from Japan. 🙂

Playing A Game Of The Card Variety

July 31, 2024August 1, 2024 by Alxala

I was checking out a Japanese Game Boy card game called Card Game. This game has 4 different games to choose from. Here are the screenshots of what I’m talking about:

U.S.A. Page 1 (which is sort of like Crazy Eights)

And as a result…

Oh, and here’s a sprite sheet that I’ve submitted to the Spriters Resource after playing this game:

But yeah, this is another fun card game from Japan. 😉

Extreme Pokémon Makeover: Ghost Edition

July 20, 2024July 21, 2024 by Alxala

I’ve been playing a bit more of Pokémon Diamond this evening, and I decided to give one of my Ghost-type friends a simply fabulous fashion makeover:

Fujin the Drifblim, nicknamed after the God of Wind from the Mortal Kombat series.

Now he is one handsome balloon ghost. 😛

It’s Pokémon Diamond Fashion Time Again!

June 30, 2024July 1, 2024 by Alxala

I’ve been playing a little bit of Pokémon Diamond, and I decided to play dress up on one of my Poison-type friends right here:

Whiskey the Swalot, whose nicknamed after my Swalot from Pokémon Emerald for the GBA.

Yep, she’s my beautifully happy lump of purple sludge. 😛

Caesars Palace Beaten With Very Best Ending Of All

June 23, 2024July 3, 2024 by Alxala

I decided to come back to playing the Game Boy version of Caesars Palace, and I’ve been winning a giant amount of fake money until I got notified by a female cashier named Suzy:

And guess how much I won?

That’s just enough to get the very best ending in this game. Hooray!

I also like how this ending contains a jingle that sounded exactly like the 20th Century Fox theme song. But yeah, I just wish all this money and the limousine were real. 🙂
