Pokemon Stadium

I don't really feel like typing a novel about today as I did yesterday so I'm going to make this short and sweet. Today I woke a little early. Early enough my mom had not gotten to work yet. For a majority of the day I spent my time playing on Global Pokedex Plus and watching Animal Planet. For breakfast I just had a couple of bowls of cereal and a couple nutmeg muffins and for lunch, well, late lunch as I didn't eat till 3:40 PM after breakfast, I ate one of the plums my mom had bought recently. It was very good. Sweet near the outside and more sour towards the pit. I did grow a bit tired of TV and I was back at my computer when I realized I was not entirely certain of the pronunciation of my favorite Pokemon's name, Dunsparce.

This immediately made me want to play Pokemon Stadium 2 to find out. Honestly, of all the years I have owned this game, two major things stand true. One is, that I have never beaten this game even once since getting it along with Pokemon Stadium for my birthday when I was little. And the second, is that I do not recall EVER seeing Dunsparce on this game before today.

With the latter in mind I set up a quick battle so I could switch to Dunsparce and have the announcer say it's name for me. I actually use this on several Pokemon from Generations 1 and 2 that I do not know how to say the names of. The first battle I had forgotten that the announcer voice was off so I had to leave the battle and do a new battle. I was relieved to find out I had been saying it correctly all along.

With that out of the way, the first mentioned point came to mind so I set out to TRY to work on beating it. I've had little luck and have only tried Challenge cup. I keep going into this game thinking "I know more about Pokemon now than I did then, this should be easy." No. I'm always wrong. This game is difficult beyond reason and is made of pure evil. Of course, I am on Master ball of Challenge Cup but it's still hard. I think I just suck at Pokemon, though I've done much better than this on the adventure games. Eh. I've tried several times now and never get past battle two. Although this most recent time I think I have and still haven't gone out yet. Maybe I've been given a fairly decent team that I can work with.

I haven't had the chance to finish all the battles is after the first few I had to get up to cook supper. I was happy cause I had not had Shrimp Scampi in awhile now. Luckily I started working at 8:00, 20 min after asking my mom when I should start but I got no response. By the time she responded and she asked how long it would take and I replied about 30 min she told me to start then which I had been. I was a little upset tonight as I did not have any green onions to use. Not my mom's fault, but mine for not checking if we had it before today. I could definitely tell a difference from the smell it had today that it was not the same. To cope a little, I used some garlic powder but I used a light amount. The flavor was still real good despite not having the onions. For color, I added some powdered dried parsley flakes to it since the green onions were the only thing to give it some color and it just looked so bland without a little green in it. I was fairly content with how it looked. One unfortunate thing that did bruise my confidence a little was the noodles did not get cooked properly. I had given them more than 13 minutes to cook but they were still rather hard and many stuck together. I was grateful that my mom did not get many of these noodles so she was able to enjoy it. I enjoyed mine too despite having more of the hard noodles but I still got some soft ones to enjoy so I was happy.

I chatted with my mom after that a bit and began to feel a little depressed. Not sure why though when I mentioned it to my mom she thought it was because of the noodles. I told her it wasn't that and that I do not know why I felt that way. Honestly, I really don't, I just don't feel good. I'm really tired of feeling this way. Anywho, despite the noodles, my mom seemed to really enjoy the meal and expressed she was grateful that I had cooked and fed the animals for her. I was happy that those two small acts had made her happy though I did feel guilty I had not done anything more to help out around the house. I need to stop being so lazy and do more.

Anywho, I think that about fits my day in a nutshell. I just wanted to get this done so I do not end up forgetting it when I go back to Pokemon Stadium here in just a little bit. Anywho, Goodnight!
