Happy New Year, Everyone! We're starting 2019 with a bang and what better way than with the last Egyptian god card finally being added to Duel Links!! Obelisk the Tormentor can finally be used and getting this card is super easy.
To acquire Obelisk, just find Gravekeeper Ishizu. You'll know it's the right one because you will see dialogue between her and Seto Kaiba after you click on her (even if you aren't playing as Kaiba at the time). It confused me at first since I am playing as Mai right now then I realized what it was. Anyway, find Gravekeeper Ishizu and beat her with the deck of your choice. Then go to the missions menu and get your awesome prismatic Obelisk the Tormentor. Like I said, it's super easy. I used my Amazon deck to beat Ishizu but you can use anything like Yubel or Ojamas or even Stardust Dragon. Just remember that Gravekeeper Ishizu is only going to appear in regular Duel World so you'll have to use one of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series characters against her. Aside from that, it's fairly simple.
I hope this helps and that you all get your awesome Obelisk cards. Remember, get the card ASAP so you don't forget. I checked in Duel Links and there is no 'Until' date listed for this event but I wouldn't waste time adding this beauty to your collection!
That's all for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post. Don't forget to Follow me if you wish and please leave a comment telling me your thoughts on finally getting Obelisk the Tormentor. I wish you all a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

Detective Pikachu Movie CONFIRMED!!!
I want to apologize for taking so long between posts. I have been very busy and I intended to post but by the time I would remember - it would be waaay too late. I apologize once again and will try to do better for the rest of this year and the year to come. Okay.... let's get into the good stuff!
You know that rumored Detective Pikachu movie everyone was talking about? The one where Ryan Reynolds was going to voice Detective Pikachu?? Well, that is not a rumor anymore!! Warner Bros. has put out a trailer for this movie on their YouTube channel (here). Yes, I am aware that I am almost a month late on this but let's focus on the trailer. What do I think?? At first, I was shocked to see that the movie will be live-action. I fully expected this movie to be animated like all of the other Pokémon movies.
Visually, it looks amazing. I love pausing the trailer to see how many Pokémon (or references) I can see in each scene. But I do have to say that some of the Pokémon do look like nightmare fuel (that Psyduck... so creepy) in their more realistic appearance. It's still cool, though and I see great potential for this movie. However, there is also the possibility that it could be a flop... but I will remain hopeful at this point. The movie appears to be following the Detective Pikachu game plot (mostly) and that is a great sign. I can't get over how amazing it looks and I really hope that I am not disappointed.
As a fan of Pokémon, I am super excited about this movie and hope to more trailers so we can see even more Pokémon. So far, I like what I see and I only hope future trailers will keep up my optimism (unlike a certain new Avengers movie trailer). I hope you all enjoyed this post. Follow me to keep up with my posts (which will hopefully be more timely from now on) and leave a comment telling me your thoughts on this new movie trailer. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links - Duel Quest Begins!!
It's great to be back at it again! I apologize for skipping a week - I was busy and by the time I remembered to post... it was too late. Anyway, I am back and this week we are looking at the current Duel Links Event: Duel Quest!! For simplicity, I will break it down into 2 categories for discussion. Let's get to it!
What I Like:
The main premise of this event is that after you duel and see your assessment score, you will be treated to same 8-bit animation of Yugi walking down some stairs into deeper basements. It's basically a dungeon crawler where you pick up treasures the further down you go. I love the aesthetic and how you can randomly send and receive heart treasures to/from other players (even ones that aren't on your friend list). It's relatively easy to accrue points and the more points, the further down you go. You don't need to go to a new area (like Duel Carnival) so you can work on this event any way you like: NPCs or Ranked PVP.
What I don't Like:
The prizes or treasures that you acquire are random from a certain amount of objects for silver chests and as listed for gold chests. Gold chest prizes are mostly the boosting crystals with some gems thrown in. The number of gems is 40 or 50 for the upper floors (0-500) and 5, 10, or 20 for the lower floors (500-900) with a few exceptions. This seems backwards to me. Shouldn't the progression be in reverse to provide incentive to go further down??? Also, there are roughly 8 cards you can pick up as well. All but 2 of them have been available as either character level up or drop rewards: Magna Drago and Sand Moth. Both of these cards have drawbacks... Magna Drago's boosting effect is only really useful if you keep it on the field for many turns which will require a lot of back row protection since its ATK points start out as 1400. The worst of the 2 is Sand Moth. Its ability to be revived with ATK and DEF switched is nice but only if it is destroyed while in face-down defense position and not by battle. Let me repeat that: destroyed while in face-down defense position and NOT by battle. This is doable but tedious. You have to hope your opponent is using a monster that destroys face-downs with its effect since most of the good monster destruction cards require the monsters to be face-up. I feel like they could have done a bit better in card choice... but maybe the upcoming box will have something to make these cards a bit more useful. The last thing I don't like is that you can only traverse a hundred floors a day. I am currently on floor 330 and once I hit 400 I have to wait until tomorrow to get the next 100 floors unlocked. This event would be much easier if I could traverse as many floors as I wanted but I guess Konami is trying to stretch the event out so it overlaps with the KC Cup Tournament. This is fair but I still feel like I should be able to complete one event before another one is launched.
Overall, I like this event and its 8-bit design. I like how it works within normal play without needing to switch to a special area. For all its issues, it is a good event and I even prefer to a normal duel-a-thon. Like I said above, it does have its drawbacks and room for improvement. Still, this gives me hope for future events. The next box is coming out tomorrow and I am super excited to see how the meta will change. Now I have to go grind some more gems... again... oh well. Until next time, I urge you to follow me if you enjoyed this post and leave a comment with your thoughts on this Duel Quest event. It is worth it? Do you like the rewards? I can't wait to see what you think. Have a great weekend and keep on gaming!!

More Pokemon News - Say Hello to Melmetal!
Finally, we have new information about Meltan's mysterious evolution and it's name is Melmetal! If you want to see the official video, the link is here (English) or here (Japanese). The official website link is here as well. Well, let's get into it!
First of all, I have to say this design is a big step up from Meltan. I like that some of Melmetal's hex nuts rotate on their own at certain times in the animation. It's not a bad evolution and proves that this mythical Pokémon line holds great potential for great power. Speaking of evolution, the video makes it seem like it's just Meltan merging like Wishiwashi merge to create their school form. If you look at the official page, however, it is just through 400 Meltan candies... in Pokémon GO. This bothers me because if you're like me and don't play Pokémon GO, you will apparently not be able to evolve your Meltan at all. It does not say if Meltan is exclusive to Pokémon GO so that gives me hope that it will be available in future generation games. However, you will still have to evolve it in Pokémon GO which is almost as annoying as trade evolutions. Still, maybe better ways will come available in the future. We can only hope and wait to see what the new generation holds.
Well, that's it for this week's post. If you enjoyed it - as short as it was - then I urge you to follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. What are your thoughts on Meltan and Melmetal? Please leave a comment below telling me your opinion. I look forward to reading it. Until next time, have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

Meltan Has Another Form/Evolution?!
More info on Meltan has been released! This time it is in two videos - one is another Prof. Willow and Oak research update (watch here) and the other is a fun little animation clip of Meltan in the 'wild' (watch here). What have we learned? Let's get into it!
In the first video, we learn that a special box will lure wild Meltan when it is opened. It then will close and will only open after some time has passed. I want to assume this is referring to a future Pokémon GO event where players will get the box and be able to use it to catch Meltan. It makes sense but I do hope there will be non-Pokémon GO events for Meltan so that those who don't play Pokémon GO.
The second video, as I stated previously, is a cute little clip of Meltan interacting in the wild, or more specifically, a person's house. This is very adorable and endears Meltan to me even more. I still think the design is lazy, but the Pokémon is so cute that I will overlook it. The most interesting part of the clip is in the end where a new form for Meltan is hinted at. I had a feeling Meltan would have another form or an evolution. I can't wait to see what it looks like and what it can do. The possibilities are endless for this Pokémon!
Well, that does it for this week. I know it's not much but the videos were fairly short (less than 5 minutes long) so we'll work with what we've got for now. If you enjoyed this post, do consider following me so you won't miss out on future posts. And maybe leave a comment with your thoughts about this new information concerning Meltan. I look forward to seeing what others think of these latest developments. Well, until next time, have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

A New Pokemon Appears - Meltan!
A new Pokémon has appeared in Pokémon GO or rather, Ditto has taken it's appearance. This new Pokémon is a new mythical named Meltan. Before I discuss it further, you can watch the intro video for this Pokémon in English, here or Japanese, here, if you haven't already. Okay, let's get started!
The only known information for this Pokémon can be found here, on the Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee and Pikachu website. The Hex Nut Pokémon is as strange as it sounds: a silver Ditto body with a large golden hex nut for a head (with the hole as it's eye) and a piece of broken red cable as it's tail. It's also a Steel type Pokémon. That being said, while you can use it in the upcoming games (which take place in Kanto), I highly doubt this is a Pokémon from Kanto. I suspect that this is a teaser for the next generation games which will come out next year.
What do I think of this newest Pokémon? This... this is the laziest Pokémon design that I have ever seen. A Hex Nut Pokémon and the best idea is to put a hex nut on a ditto's body and change the color?? I know I seem overly harsh but considering the over 700 unique and interesting Pokémon available... I don't see why they couldn't have come up with something a little more interesting. I mean, do a Google search of Steel type fakemon (fan-made Pokémon, if you didn't already know) and you will find tons of unique and interesting ideas.
However, I don't hate Meltan at all. I like it. It's cute and has the potential to be something greater... like Cosmog. Maybe I will learn to love it like Luvdisc or the Cyndaquil line. I guess what I am saying is that it all takes time. I can't wait to learn of more new Pokémon and see what generation 8 has to offer us. The upcoming year promises great potential and I couldn't be more excited. Until then, we will have to be patient and enjoy the upcoming games even though they aren't the core games we were hoping for. Until next time, then, and please, consider following me so you don't miss out on future posts or leaving a comment with your opinion of Meltan. I look forward to reading your thoughts and opinions. Have a good weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!
