YES YES YES YES YES! my dream of a wolf pokemon has finally come true! and man what an awesomely designed wolf pokemon he is. Lugarugan is his name and has two forms, a wolf and a werewolf depending on the time of day. I don't know the full details yet, but it sounds like depending on your version of the game you'll get one form more often than the other since Sun will take place during normal time (3DS settings) and Moon will take place mostly at night (12 hours ahead of your 3DS time). This will of course cause a problem for me... i was planning on Moon because A) the legendary looks better, and B) night is my favorite time. Honestly though, i hate the werewolf form and i plan on having Lugarugan on my team... so i might have to switch over to Sun after all

Oh, and i never made an update about it, but Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales... cool, but i prefer my firefoxes.

Anyways, here are some quick sketches of Rockruff and Lugarugan i did at work (not the same day of course, but still):


by the way, does Lugarugan remind anyone else of Tiger and Hare Hound from Monster Rancher?

Just finished watching it, it was awesome! it covers not only everything in Kishi's oneshot, it also adds more to it, even getting the rest of the rookie 9 involved. Quick summary is Kakashi disguises himself as an ex-ANBU named Sukea while using shadow clones of himself to throw everyone off.

Full Summary

After their first attempt is ruined by Akamaru, the other Rookies join in on the mission. Hinata tells Kakashi that a woman was drowning and needs help. Kakashi checks on the girl and says she needs to get the hospital. Chouji blocks his way and the other rookies make their move. Shino uses his bugs and Ino uses her mind transfer jutsu (which fails and hits a frog instead lol). The girl turns out to be Naruto and Shikamaru catches Kakashi with his shadow and the plan seems to be working... then Team Gai shows up and causes chaos, which gives Kakashi a chance to escape.

The Team Gai part is a bit confusing as it seems to me that they were just transformed clones, but other viewers seem to think they're the real Lee, Tenten, and Neji. Either way, the rookies give up for now and say goodbye to Sukea as he leaves the village.

Then he runs into Gai. Sukea is nervous because Gai seems to recognize him but just can't seem to place where he's seen him before. After the close call, Sukea sneaks back into the village and goes home to remove the disguise. Then we finally see Kakashi's face

End Summary

My favorite part is easily the Gai part. Kakashi was really sweating there with Gai inches from his face, scrutinizing every detail. It figures that the character known for not remembering faces just happens to find a demasked Kakashi familiar lol. but then, it IS his Eternal Rival, he should know... wait, but if he finds Sukea's face familiar... wouldn't that mean he had to have seen Kakashi without his mask before? (i'm a GaiKaka shipper if you didn't know, and it seems that SP is too lol)

what did everyone else think of the episode?

Just finished watching the Sun and Moon panel at E3, i'm a little worried about seeing so many old pokemon, i hope they just limited the new pokemon for the preview because the only new pokes we see are woodpecker (Pikipek) and a mongoose (Yungoose). I really like that the pokemon are shown to scale with the trainer, (Joltik is gonna be so tiny lol) They also introduced the new battle system called Battle Royale, (4 on 4 battles). i also like how the pokedex shows if a pokemon has an evolution, it'll be useful for the new pokes. What i don't like though, is that they tell you if an attack is effective or not against your opponent. this kinda makes me think this game might be even easier than previous ones.

overall, what i like the most is the trainer and pokemon scale since i always liked to look at the scaling features in previous games.

EDIT: upoaded a better journal lol: 3 New PKMN: Yungoos, Pikipek, Grubbin! + Gameplay

anyways, i'm curious about the bug and the bird's final evo. Bug pokemon the last couple of gens have been really good imo, so i can't wait to see what this one will be. Pikipek looks to be the most detailed early bird we've ever gotten in pokemon, i hope its evo is as awesome as Talonflame. what do you think of the scale part of battles? i think it'll look cool for most pokemon, but the smaller ones like Joltik and the huge ones like Wailord are gonna cause some issues i think lol

Thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday!

Wow have I been gone from here for a while. First off i got a job, which is really good since i've been looking for something for so long lol, secondly (and I'm sure some of my watchers will be happy to know), I have returned to working on Copy Ninja! The next chapter is already almost done and it will be reintroducing an important character from earlier in the story. While i'm still going back and forth on what to do with Rin (still unsure if i'll drop her canon death and go with my original plan or go with canon for the added angst) but her death isn't coming yet in the story anyways, so i got time to decide.

Next chapter of Ninken Alliance should also be coming out soon... as well as my new series, Konoha's Future! Finally you will get to meet all the OCs i've been creating. The main cast being the Hatake siblings: Sakumo, Raiden, and Shira Hatake, Ryo Uzumaki, Kouji Uchiha, Tsukino Maito, and Hikou Hyuuga.

I'm trying to find out how to get a character i created copyrighted so i can make stuff with her on it to sell and not have to worry about someone stealing her. If anyone knows how to go about this, please let me know.

As for Pokemon Sun and Moon, i'll be getting Moon unless Sun has something amazing going for it. I'm hoping we finally get that wolf pokemon i've been waiting for. I mean, come on, one of the versions is called MOON for crying out loud! i just hope it's a regular pokemon though and not a legendary, because i don't use legendaries

I've read the manga of Battle Royale, but now i want to read the novel, does anyone know which english version has the best translation?  there's 3 different translations currently.

and lastly, is having a raffle here: Digital art and pixel Raffle

and yes, i know i haven't updated in a while, but i'll try to get some stuff up before Halloween oh, and just saw Jurassic World, it was awesome! better than Lost World, but not as good as the original. i was a bit mad they didn't mention Michael Crichton anywhere.
