Shuckle and Drapion!!!

Hey guys, its Hidan again! For those Pokemon fans out there, I'm going to give you advise on one or two Pokemon in this post. Lets start with Drapion, the Poison Dark type Pokemon. I personally like this Pokemon because it is strong in attack, fast enough, and can take most special attacks and a lot of physical hits. Especially with its Battle Armor ability which prevents critical hits from landing on it by opposing Pokemon. Since this Pokemon is fast enough, a good move set for it will be Toxic Spikes (if taken out first), or Toxic, Cross Poison, Dark Pulse (for flinch chances) or Night Slash (for critical hits), and Earthquake, for any other Drapions or any types that are super weak to ground types. If you like to EV train, I suggest training it in either speed, special defense, or attack if you want to sweep a team with it. Another very good Pokemon, one of my favorites, Shuckle! This defensive Bug Rock type Pokemon has amazing defense and special defense stats. Its best ability is its hidden ability of course; Contrary, along with its best nature, Impish. Contrary ability reverses stat changing moves such as Shell Smash, instead of decreasing defensive stats, it will raise them but decrease speed, and offensive stats. But don't worry, that's where this awesome move set comes in handy. A perfect move set would be Shell Smash, Toxic, Infestation, and Rest! As far as EV training, I suggest start with Special Defense stats, then work on his Defense stats. Use those moves correctly, and you will have a 99.9% chance of winning a battle! That .1% chance of losing will come from not using the moves correctly. Well that's all for tonight, if you want to friend me on the 3ds, my code is 0490-7256-1279. Let me know if you want to battle or trade! This is Hidan of the Akatsuki.

Naruto and My Favorite Characters

I'm a very big fan of video games, anime, and computers. So lets talk about some Naruto! For those who don't know about Naruto, this character has his own show (forgot when it very first came out), and a series of awesome games! I've watched the show AND read the entire manga, I gotta say, I can't get enough of this anime. Although Naruto is the main character, lets not be all up on him. I believe all of the characters are awesome, especially my favorites; Hidan, Itachi Uchiha, and Kakuzu of the Akatsuki Clan; Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto's "best friend"), Minato Namikaze (Naruto's father), Madara Uchiha, and last but not least, Shisui Uchiha. There's a new movie and game for the last bit of the Naruto series. However the latest game is titled "Naruto Shippiden Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution" (long name, I know). Stay tuned in to my blog for more posts. This is Hidan of the Akatsuki.

L'Enfant Plaza Incident

Political Cartoon about L'Enfant Plaza Station Incident

This political cartoon shows the L'Enfant Plaza metro station incident with the smoke that randomly occurred. People who could relate to this political cartoon is normal metro riders, tourists, workers, and the metro staff themselves. The intention behind this cartoon is that D.C claims they spend billions and billions of dollars trying to keep its citizens safe, however that's not true. In my point of view, that money goes to other things like unnecessary technology and other things that does NOT keep D.C safe. I don't believe this cartoon presents any type of propaganda, I just believe that this cartoon is ironically true.

Super Bowl Commercials

First Draft Ever Commercial

This commercial in the Super Bowl was showing how the first draft ever for football. This commercial showed animals that were willing to get picked by certain teams in the NFL. This commercial uses pathos to make the viewers laugh and talk about how the first draft was theorized. It aims at football fans and it matters because it gives them something to joke about. I liked this commercial because I found it funny (although i'm not a football fan). This ad would probably not be memorable to most people, especially ones who aren't fans of football; but to those who are football fans, this may be memorable because it makes them laugh.


Heroes Charge Commercial

This short commercial shows a phone app titled Heroes' Charge. This ad is aimed at people who love to play MMORPG's, mostly phone apps, but video games period. This ad uses ethos to persuade viewers to download this app because today people love MMORPGs and other phone apps/games. I believe this commercial could persuade me to get this app/game because I personally like this genre of video games, and its portable. I think this ad would be memorable because it may mean a lot to video game players.


Skittles Commercial

This commercial shows  a western town themed skittles commercial. This commercial aimed at people who loves skittles. Skittles' commercials use pathos to make people laugh and most likely buy more skittles. This ad showed people in a western town with over-sized arms for arm wrestling. I somewhat liked this commercial because I personally don't eat skittles much, however the ad was funny. I believe this ad would be memorable to skittles fans, not so much to just regular viewers.
