Pokemon Sun/Moon: Z-Moves

A new element to Pokemon battle has been introduced as Z-Moves.  A Z-Move is a powerful move that can only be used once during battle.  Trainer and Pokemon can release their full power together, but only when their wishes resonate with each other.  Every Pokemon will have a Z-Move.

In order to activate the Z-Move, your trainer must have: A Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal.  The Z-Ring is worn on the trainers arm and Z-Crystals are set into it.  If the Pokemon has the same crystals as the trainer, trainer and Pokemon will “resonate”

Speaking of Z-Ring, participating retailers will have an actual Z-Ring for sale.  When you use a Z-Move in Pokemon Sun/Moon the Z-Ring lights up, vibrates, and plays sounds along with the game!

Pokemon Sun and Moon: Pokemon we will find on the Alolan Islands

Meet the Alolan version of these Pokemon.  They have settled onto the Alolan Islands and live there like Native Pokemon!

Name: AlA-Vulpix_RGB_300dpiolan Vulpix
Type: Ice
It is said that Vulpix came to the Alola region together with humans, but the Fox Pokémon moved to the snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokémon, and thus it ended up taking on this form.

Type: Ice/Fairy
Alolan Ninetales is able to produce ice crystals from the fur that covers its body. It can use these ice crystals to block attacks, or it can form balls of ice, which it fires like bullets at opponents. These ice missiles have enough power to pulverize rock.

A-Sandshrew_RGB_300dpiName: Alolan Sandshrew
Type: Ice/Steel
Sandshrew have historically lived in desert areas, but the frequent eruptions of nearby volcanoes drove the them to abandon the desert and migrate to snowy mountains where they took on this form.

Type: Ice/Steel
The Alolan Sandshrew of the snowy mountains evolve into Alolan Sandslash with spiny backs that are covered in ice. Alolan Sandslash hide themselves in the snow when strong enemies appear, leaving only their needles exposed and ready for business.

New Pokemon from Pokemon Sun and Moon

Name: Oricorio
Oricorio changes its form by sipping the nectar of certain flowers. Since it has four different forms—the same as the number of islands in Alola—it would seem that different Oricorio live on each of the islands.

Berserk (2016) Blood and Guts

maxresdefault16

3 years ago was the last time we saw an animated Berserk story, but now it’s back to continue where the story left off. Personally, I had never watched Berserk when it originally debuted. It wasn’t until two years ago that I sat down and watched the series in its entirety. Even though the style was a little dated I really enjoyed it, and of course the ending made me demand more!

Spoilers for older anime: In this continuation Guts, our Hero? is out for vengeance against the betrayal of his best friend Griffith. Alone after his comrades are killed and his lover raped and driven insane, Guts will stop at nothing to kill Griffith and the other demon apostles. The 2016 anime picks up where the manga begins.

If you’re a fan of the older Berserk, I definitely recommend the new 2016 series. The art style is definitely different than the previous incarnations, it has a little or a lot more CG style art, but I don’t think it’s much of a distraction ( it is actually kinda neat), especially after the older 1980’s-1990’s look, which sadly, I am not a huge fan of.

Are you a fan of Berserk? Are you watching? Let me know in the comments! I’m hoping to see the Berserk armor debut in this new series.
