Slept in all morning. Last night, I was figuring out which game to play after completing the checklist. Eventually, I read plots from Pokemon Black/White Episodes 082-097 as well as Pokemon specials 23 and 24. PK23 would be hilarious to see.

I was unaware of the Nintendo Direct announcement at the time. Until I came on here, that's when I was notified. So, I'm doing another schedule while I wait for the rest of the day and when clock strikes Payback Hour.

I came in to the broadcast of the Nintendo Direct 15 minutes late, and more bad luck struck; my connection is too slow to load the live footage so I'll have to rewatch the whole thing on YouTube when it's super fast again. After that, I played some GameCube games and slept in for the day.

Like yesterday, I played more GCN games (mostly Super Mario Sunshine). I stayed up on Tumblr to watch more Pokemon X/Y news being revealed. Chespin's final evolution is named Chesnaught and it looks AWESOME.

There was nothing much I can do for that day. Played GCN games, slept through the morning and there were no news updates during the night shift.

Stayed up all night with my games, that goes for all morning too. Tomorrow would be my decision on choosing between Pokemon X or Y, and I could negotiate preordering it tomorrow (or a later date). Those games are now due next week, so I have to choose quickly!

Could be negotiating to pre-order Pokemon X on Tuesday. Can't do it tomorrow because of Labor Day. Also for Tuesday, I start Gates to Infinity, my first day at Pokemon School prior to X/Y's release. But I'm getting ahead of myself, so let's go back to today...

I have confirmed my normal hours on when should I wake up, and when should I sleep. I played more of my GCN games and I should be taking on the Pokedex 3D Pro quiz right now so I can get Meloetta!

It was Labor Day today and it was the last day of holidays. Still I played more on my GCN games, but not more enough like yesterday though. Now I have to go to sleep after the next all-stars baseball game, because I have Pokemon School in the late morning.

Another week being absent from the site...

Tuesday, October 8 - Friday, October 11, 2013
I was in Pokemon School by first playing Gates to Infinity, and I was waiting for the worldwide release for Pokemon X/Y.

Also, I swapped my optional decision to Pokemon Y on Tuesday because I was reading some useful information on Tumblr.

Saturday, October 12, 2013
Pokemon X/Y released worldwide, I got my copy of Pokemon Y (which was the last one from my retailer after failing to preorder it) and started playing it when the others here did during the first 30 minutes.

Sunday, October 13 - Monday, October 14, 2013
Continued to play Pokemon Y every night and then. Captured Pansage and Dunsparce (though it was not easy to capture but I managed to). My thoughts on tonight as a Rookie, I should turn back and find more Pokemon before taking on the first gym leader.

When it came down to Job Requests in Gates to Infinity, my play time for that game skyrockets. I'll have to keep doing that so I can become more powerful for the next storyline.

Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Slowly moving along with Pokemon Y. I got my first badge and got my Kanto starter. My next thing to do is to track Pancham, Axew and Emolga and start exploring more of the Kalos Region.

Thursday, October 17, 2013
Decided to take a break from both games, so I started to return to flights. Sorry about my absence, I'll eventually be back on MPL on October 19.

Friday, October 18, 2013
Did some flights, only once per day... (I wanted to do more, but every time I try to do another one, the simulator freezes on me 2 hours after takeoff, which bums me out sometimes) My next flight is from St. Maarten to Washington.

Saturday, October 19, 2013
I'm thinking of returning to Gates to Infinity and reach my team (Pikachu, Tepig, Emolga and Virizion) to Level 20 before facing the next storyline tomorrow. I fell asleep after attempting to come online on-time.

I rescued Espeon and my next phase in Gates to Infinity is to reach at least Lv. 30 before reaching the Great Glacier. I can do that by doing more harsh job requests. Still this game is fun though, but I know that I have Pokemon Y to do as well...

I spent 9 hours on Pokemon Y and I have not eaten ANYTHING during that time. My next mission was to capture a wild Emolga, which took me like 2-3 hours to do so. When I first noticed Team Flare, I got enraged (knowing that I don't want the site to go down to waste). But I got through their battles and went on to win my second gym badge (the Cliff Badge). I kept on going until I came up upon Emolga and a few members of Team Flare as I remember too. My Squirtle evolved twice today and is now at Level 37, like 3-4 levels ahead of Quilladin. After finally capturing Emolga, my mission came to a close (and yep, I'm back on the site). What a day.

Spoiler

Can't wait to play with her in Pokemon-Amie!

Lol, is your female Emolga mischievous? She seems very similar to Iris's Emolga in the anime.

Umm, I hope so... (I found you the requested Pokemon that I spent 9 hours trying to find from the City to Route 10!)

You know you can check the stats/characteristic/nature in the Pokémon summary, correct?

I can do that. I'll keep you posted the next time I start that game.

Now all I need to do is to rest from Pokemon for several days until I get my confidence back. I went to the city to do something important, then went to sleep for the rest of the day.

Wednesday, October 23, 2013
Did more research with Pokemon X & Y as a Rookie. Now my plan is to go back, and "catch 'em all!" (the ones I missed) before facing the next stage. I will do my best on Friday.

(Also, the rate of catching a wild Emolga was Very Rare on Monday. VERY RARE??! I will remember this!!)

It was a hot day today, and I stayed at home. It started to rain before the end of the day and I fell asleep after dinner. I failed to return to Flight Simulator, but I'll get to it now before reaching Gates to Infinity and Pokemon Y later tomorrow.

 

[Jimmy T.]

Friday, October 25, 2013
Because that I did not touch Flight Simulator yesterday, I'll have to suffer the delays for my next Pokemon session. I also changed my username to Emolga because... Oh, what the heck! I will revert back to Blue Toad after I have a thunderstorm maybe on Tuesday.

Right now, I'm descending. So, not long until I get back to Gates to Infinity.

I didn't play enough with Gates to Infinity today, because I was highly interested with Pokemon-Amie in the X/Y versions. I quickly returned to Pokemon Y after finishing only 3 Job Requests. I started the feature with my newly caught Emolga, and I went all crazy while petting/feeding her and had a lot of fun with her by showing good chemistry on Emolga's Charm. The Minigames were also great; I only waited for that moment to happen today, and at the end of the day...

Spoiler

Shh... Don't wake her up!
