Question of the Day

What is one thing that you hope to accomplish in the upcoming month of February? [01-26 9PM EST]

That's under the assumption/premise of me being able to accomplish anything within a month without procrastination, that would be finishing a book of 1000 pages (30-ish pages per day don't sound too bad for my usual progress)

Not get super drunk and ruin my liver when I turn 21

Definitely finishing my Computer Science controlled assessment. Since I'm rushing CS and the coursework has to be submitted by the end of term, I've spent lots of lunches working on it.

Once I'm done, I think I'll try to do some more reading. I miss reading actual, physical books.

Hmm...I guess, if things go according to plan, I would finish reading up on Law, Accounts and Costing by February end, in line for my exam in May.

Man hearing that makes me feel like such a slacker T__T

Main goal for February is to not get so stressed. Both work and extra-curriculars are super busy next month and I really want to try to get through it without freaking out like I usually do

[3]Question of the Day: If you could alter one Pokémon's typing, which Pokémon would you choose and why? [2/1/2016]

Probably Masquerain, it deserves its unique Bug/Water typing back. :c It therefore takes less damage from Stealth Rock, removes two weaknesses and turns one 4x weakness into a 2x, gains 2 more resistances, and it gets STAB Hydro Pump / Scald which I find much better than STAB Air Slash. This might not be enough to redeem it completely, but I hope it gets more usage. :c

I'd make Lugia Water/Flying, since I don't really understand the Psychic part when it's associated with the sea.

Also before someone says "I'd make Gyarados Water/Dragon", Magikarp and Gyarados are based on a Chinese legend of a karp that flew over a waterfall.

I have probably vented my ire too many times about this, but not having Yanmega be a Bug/Dragon type is a -huge- missed opportunity.

There are probably many other such deserving cases, but this one sticks in my craw too much to ignore.

Dedenne should be a type that is immune to everything

On a more serious note I'd change Volbeat into an electric type so it could be something a little more special. I just feel sorry for it.

I probably have a better answer somewhere but brain.exe has stopped working.

Noctowl not being Flying/Psychic bugs me to this day.

I know we got Xatu and Lugia in the same Gen, but it's not like they're carefully trying to avoid having too many 'mons with the same typing (sorry, can't hear you over the sound of all the Bug/Flying types).

Or, y'know, Flying/Dark, with a matching movepool, since it's an owl and Gen II introduced the Dark type... no? Oh, ok...

I'm so glad Gen VI ended the whole "generic bird must be normal type" streak.

A real life dragonfly is a bug. And nothing but.

Dragon in its name is nothing but a fancy and has nothing to do with dragons.

The Japanese name for dragonfly is tonbo. Dragon is ryu. It has no silly association with dragons precisely because there is none.

The amount of 'deserving' in this case is exactly zero and a bug/flying type it should remain.

On the other hand, asian cultures have erroneous pegged sea horses as baby dragons- hence Kingdra's dragon type. This is also incredibly false, despite the lore and mythos behind it.

But we all know GameFreak is incredibly ethnocentric and cares only for the core Japanese fans, as firmly established by every special event they have done. Ever.

The end.

...wow. I had assumed that I would just be stating my personal wish and opinion about Yanmega, and did not think that I had to justify it. I know about the etymology of dragonflies, and Pokémon is hardly real life, but I....nevermind.

I'm too intimidated to say anything else.

I would make Electrivire Electric / Fighting and Magmortar Fire / Psychic. Welp, looks like that's two but whatever~

This would fit their move-pool and would make them more opposite of each-other.

I dunno but that's my two cents~

Would you say you're proud of yourself right now? [2/3/2016]

I mean, I should be... I just have a hard time being proud of myself, y'know?

Definitely something I need to work towards improving..

I don't exactly know how to answer this question.

I am proud of some aspects of myself and things that I do, but at other times I'm not. It really is up to circumstance.

I should like to associate myself with the eagle. I see it as a symbol of high excellence and self-mastery, which is what my aim is to achieve.

It may also simply be because I admire the grace and power of their flight.
