[Toys] Pokemon Plamo - B/W fire starter line

So here's something that isn't Kamen Rider, but still Bandai.

Bandai of Japan (not sure how that translates over here in the US) makes a series of Pokemon model kits which are called Plamo (Plastic Models), which involve Pokemon from the DS era with Diamond/Pearl, HeartGold/SoulSilver, and of course, Black/White. They're all fairly simple (something you'll see me say here multiple times) but boy, they... you'll see.

As a precursor I will warn you; Do NOT go by what's on the front of the box when it comes to quality. The models provided on the box are painted model kits. The idea is you're given stickers to add all the colors needed, but the detailing is there for you to paint if you so choose. So yeah - keep in mind that model kits will only come with a few basic colors of plastic, the rest is paint work. Or stickers, if you wanna take a somewhat easier route.

I chose the wonderful firepig line because I'm doing a Nuzlocke run of Black and chose it as my starter, so I do kinda have an attachment to this one.

Let's get to the point now, shall we?

A followup to the previous review. I have some things to add to it.

[Games] Pokemon: White Version

Yep! So I've been playing this since it came out in the US earlier this March, here's a review.

Pokemon is a series that's been around for a long, long time. It's a marketing phenomenon. Some people at this point have departed from the Pokemon train, and some have even called this the worst Generation of Pokemon games ever, for various reasons that I'll express my opinion on in this review.

At the moment I've beaten the Elite Four for the first time, and am currently doing post-Elite Four events. So it's safe to say I've seen most of, if not all of, the essential content for a review. Let's do this.
