I hear gossip about you all over the place. It just makes me sigh, RAKUNI. How did you get so strong? Go for the world championship now! I'll always be cheering you on! Call you later! ...is that OK?

Juggler Irwin's crush on me in SoulSilver is a bit weird and creepy, but the 'is that OK?' really made me smile. Oh, Juggler Irwin.

SPEAKING OF UNEXPECTED POKÉMON SLASH (I always play as a boy; there was no female character option back in the days of Red, and so playing a Pokémon game as a girl would just feel wrong now):

'Give him a call when you feel like it. He can be overly confident, but he still needs company. He says he won't have any plans on Sunday nights... Giggle!'

I, er, I think Daisy Oak is trying to set me up with her brother. Sorry, Daisy, but when I call him he tells me to call when he's available for a battle or forget about it. I don't think he's interested.

...actually, I just called Blue to check exactly what he says, and he opens with 'Hello... Whatever... Don't worry about me. I'm doing peachy over here!' Does this mean that my character is enquiring after his well-being? Oh, Blue. I just want him to find a friend.

(Blue generally breaks my heart a little. I mean, yes, he's a bit of a git, but still. I was so distressed when I learnt that when he sees you at the Lavender Tower in the first game and asks 'What brings you here? Your Pokémon don't look dead' and then fights you, his Raticate is missing.

If the first-game rival's official name is Blue, does that mean his full name is Blue Oak? What a wonderfully daft name.)

So I recently stumbled across a quote from Darren Criss and immediately set about scouring the Internet until I found its source, because it was the most adorable thing I'd ever heard. Here is said source! The entire video is pretty cute, but Darren's bit starts forty-five seconds in (the video is only two minutes long in total). My face hurts from smiling. I particularly love the smug way he says 'and we hugged'. Why am I not married to him? I don't understand.

I would love to be friends with the Glee cast. They seem like such fun to be around.

I was so distressed when I realised that when he sees you at the Lavender Tower in the first game and asks 'What brings you here? Your Pokémon don't look dead' and then fights you, his Raticate is missing.

OH MY GOD D: If that was in old-school game I completely missed it.

I seriously need to pick up one of these reboots. Are they still worth it if you remember the original games quite well?

I didn't notice it at all, and then I saw someone mention it on the Internet and checked and it's true. When you face him on the S.S. Anne, he has a Pidgeotto, Raticate and Kadabra in addition to his starter Pokémon; when you face him in Lavender Town, Pidgeotto and Kadabra are there but the Raticate is gone. I am not prepared for this sort of tragedy from Pokémon games!

I haven't played FireRed or LeafGreen, so I can't speak for those, but I would highly recommend HeartGold or SoulSilver. Your Pokémon follow you around! You can talk to them and they'll nip at your feet or cuddle up to you or find items on the ground! If you get a copy with the Pokéwalker accessory, you can carry a Pokémon around in your pocket when you go for walks!

The Pokewalker is great, it's like the cool parts of a virtual pet without the annoying, and the pedometer thing makes it a good exercise motivator.

And I still have my copy of Yellow from when it was new and have also played the fire/leaf remakes, and I like HeartGold, for what that's worth.

THAT POOR RATICATE. I never noticed that either until I read it on the internet and then got all wibbly.

~~Daisy is totally trying to set you up with her brother because he's still moping over Red vanishing.~~

I have a tag on tumblr that's "i am going to marry this man just you wait" because of Darren Criss. And I also adore Chris Colfer; oh my gosh, "because after he toots it, he regrets booting it... it's because... it's Shakespeare." Oh, these two. I kind of want them to do DVD episode commentaries.

Darren Criss is going to need to commit some serious polygamy if we're all to get our way. (Episode commentaries would be amazing! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN, SOMEBODY.)

Oh, the phonecalls in Pokemon. On one hand I know that the developers are trying to give subtle hints as to where and when you can re-battle Blue; on the other hand, the idea of his sister trying to set him up with the player character regardless of gender is ridiculously adorable. And yeah, I heard about the Lavender Town thing too from tumblr (which is the source of all knowledge), and man. I need to replay the originals; I suspect my copy of Blue is lost forever, but I got a LeafGreen a couple years back that should do, even if I vaguely recall that it relocated all the legendaries in a way that annoyed the hell out of me. Moltres is supposed to be in Victory Road, okay.

It is adorable! I am now quite sad that becoming Blue's boy/girlfriend isn't actually an option within the game. (Or, well, it isn't as far as I know.)

Wait, what, Moltres isn't in Victory Road? This is wrong and I am not okay with it. (I can cope with Articuno not being in the Seafoam Islands, though, because I hated that place. Not that I'm that big a fan of Victory Road.)

If the option was there, I would totally take it up ~~even though in my past two games of HeartGold I have yet to do much after battling him since Red is the destroyer of worlds~~.

Moltres is in this place unique to the remakes, some series of islands or another that I do not approve of because they are kind of boring. Everyone knows the best way to catch Moltres is while limping through Victory Road with only the Ultra Balls and healing equipment on your back! I do hate the Seafoam Islands, though, you are right. In HeartGold I had the mistaken impression they were actually the Whirlpool Islands and when I found Articuno instead of Lugia I was so very annoyed. Victory Road in HG is actually sort of relaxing, though. Well, when you have like 30 Max Repels, anyway.

I always skipped the Seafoam Islands and flew to Pallet Town/surfed down to Cinnabar. Stupid boulders.

I swear I'm the only one that likes those islands ;_;.

In HeartGold I had the mistaken impression they were actually the Whirlpool Islands and when I found Articuno instead of Lugia I was so very annoyed.

I cruelly burst out laughing at this. I'm sorry! But that is quite funny.

Oh my god, I had never realised his Raticate was missing until years after I played the game when someone had posted about it on the internet. I genuinely felt a little upset when I found out.

Did you ever read about the "hacked" Pokémon Black game where you fight alongside a pokémon named Ghost? Like, the story about it didn't scare me as such but, if I'm honest, it did creep me out a little bit. xD

It's so sad! I sincerely hope the player wasn't responsible for it.

I think I did read that story. I think I read it whilst listening to the Lavender Town music, in fact, which was clearly a mistake. Ten times creepier.

So, when I see a headline popping up in my Google Alerts saying "Darren Criss ready to kiss Chris Colfer", the first thing I thought was I have to tweet this!. Then the second thing I thought was I have to tell Riona!. So here you go XD http://www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=7683&MediaType=1&Category=22

Also, omgyesplz.

Also, what's with my excess of fullstops today? Grammar fail, Perrie...
