Looks like the Pokemon Company will be distributing the missing Mega Stones to players via code. Excellent.

Oh, and I finally hatched a shiny Rowlet. Female. Modest nature with five perfect IVs. Decided to name her, "Artemis."

Decided to try and catch a Shiny Pichu via SOS chaining. Managed to get two, though it took nearly 100 turns on each attempt. I was trying to get one with a Timid or Modest nature via Synchronize.

It's a parcipation prize, so you can still get one if you enter and lose, right?

Also, I traded for a shiny Rowlet. Had to trade one of my prized Tyranitars, but no regrets!

You happen to have some extra Slush Rush Sandshrews?

Unfortunately no. These babies are Snow Cloak.

Been breeding like crazy. Bred some mons with 5 perfect IVs.

Well, he certainly can't jack in with an iPhone 7. *rimshot*

Saw a late-afternoon show of Suicide Squad. Man, I think the critics are really off the mark with this one. It was good in my opinion, but pretty flawed.

Interesting that Tapu Koko has the first Japanese name I've seen with more than five characters, if you include the middle-dot.

I think Tapu Koko is Polynesian.

Has Moore said anything about that DCU Rebirth #1 yet?

Not to my knowledge, and I think he does not even care anymore since it has been thirty years and DC has made it clear that they will keep Watchmen in publication.

I still have to illegally download the comics onto my tablet get the issues, cause I'm definitely interested.

Download? :O

Since everyone and their grandmother knows because of the leak that happened before its release, what are your thoughts on the pre-Flashpoint Wally West returning? I personally love it (though I am not that crazy about Dr. Manhattan being the implied antagonist), but that has not stopped some people from slagging DC Rebirth. I guess you cannot please some people no matter what they do.

Personally, I think Johns was a bit heavy-handed with the "hope vs. cynicism" theme. While I suppose that one could argue that Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns inaugurated the Dark Age of Comics, I believe that it is an oversimplification. Watchmen (and DKR, albeit to a lesser degree) was an incredibly dense and layered read that truly read like a novel and I believe that the antiheroes that followed Rorschach's example were one-dimensional copies. No, I believe that it was Crisis on Infinite Earths, or rather, the immediate aftermath where DC essentially repudiated its own rich history for a short-term sales bump. Something I call the "Deconstuction Age" (1986-94) because the dismantling of the pre-Crisis multiverse and editorial inconsistency led to DC creating a Frankenstein-like monster by trying to force certain pieces to fit together.

The most egregious examples are the Legion of Super-Heroes, where then-writer, Paul Levitz had to create a stopgap measures to explain how "Superboy" could still be a member of the Legion after the John Byrne reboot establish that Supes didn't establish his career until after he became an adult. Hell, there were still references to the Kara Zor-El Supergirl who was never supposed even exist post-Crisis. Eventually editorial mandate forced a soft reboot, but Legion continuity was pretty much FUBARed until Zero Hour. The Silver Age Hawkman is another sterling example, where despite him playing a role in 1988's Invasion, DC wanted Hawkworld (released the following year, and a damn fine read) to take place in the then-contemporary DCU as opposed to the intended origin story. That necessitated a cascade of retcons that made the character untouchable for years.

Things got better after Zero Hour. DC ran with the "legacy" theme with the return of the JSA to prominence after the success of James Robinson's Starman. The Justice League returned to "all-star" status with Grant Morrison's JLA. Something I call the "Reconstruction Era" that ended more or less with Identity Crisis. Granted, more of DC's Silver Age elements crept into the mythos, culminating in Barry Allen's return in Final Crisis.

And then they blow it up after Flashpoint with the New 52, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Rebirth seems to be fixing that by introducing elements from the pre-Flashpoint universe, but I'm wary. DC has a problem with rebooting and retconning, though Marvel seems to be worse at times since they heavily rely on recycling plots and shock tactics to drive sales.

Blame autocorrect. It changes words without me wanting or realizing it.

16
Because it sounds similar to "owl."

I'm beginning to think I would fit into the Bird Keeper class because I would like to have a Blacken, Empoleon, and whatever Rowlet's evolution will be on my team/

So... any thoughts on DC Rebirth thus far? Things look very promising so far, but financial constraints will keep me from picking up many books. Though I think Green Lanterns looks promising so far, I hesitate to pick it up and I do not think I will pick up Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps after the Rebirth issue. The Superman titles look interesting now the the pre-Flashpoint Supes is back in the cape.

I can hardly wait until Super-Sons to see what trouble Damian and John will get into. Still waiting for announcements on Atom and Legion of Super-Heroes.

I think I will call my Rowlet, "Vowel."

19
Comic books and comic strips.

I'm guessing a variety of genres?

Finally got off my lazy arse and made a level. It has multiple paths. Choose wisely.

Day one of the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo was fun. Got my DVD set of Justice League Unlimited autographed by Phil LaMarr and my copy of Super Smash Bros For Wii U autographed by Charles Martinet.

Woooooo!!

Not as ampped for Doctor Strange to be honest. Looks interesting, but did not grab me with its Inception -like effects.

Looks like Ganondorf, Eggman, Sephiroth, and Bowser created their own Boy Band and left poor Wily out.  :O

[spoiler]I laughed when Cat Grant said that she was flattered that Harrison Ford asked her out, but said that she does not date older men on Supergirl.[/spoiler]
