Route 66 & Ground-Type Pokemon (Update 30/4/19)

In Trials Rising, I was able to get Gold Medals in all Sixty Six Rookies League Tracks & Sixty Six Pros League Tracks. I also was able to travel 15 miles throughout the Sixty Six Tracks. I also beat all the Stadium Finals in both Sixty Six Leagues. This gave me a total of 45 Gamerscore.

In Pokemon Go, I was able to evolve my Sandshrew into a Sandslash & my Diglett into Dugtrio.

Trials Rising is pretty neat and I really enjoyed the three previous games; Evolution, Blood Dragon & Fusion. The Trials Series shows a indy-style 3D Side-Scrolling Trials Motorbike Games, with flips, explosions, squirrels and mindless yelling. I really like to Trials series, but I really hate the Extreme Tracks because they seem so important to get a Gold Medal in.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between World is the 17th installment of The Legend of Zelda, you play as a young link, later getting the power to become a wall painting after getting a magical bracelet from Yuga. I have never been a huge fan of the Zelda Series but I like playing a little a lot over time, like on the train or later in the evenings when I wanna play something calm sometimes.

Pokemon Moon is part of the 7th Generation of Pokemon, twinned with Pokemon Sun. Now I am not gonna lie, I really don't like the 7th Generation of Pokemon. I don't like the Starter Pokemon, I don't like the Alolan Region, I don't like the art style, I don't like Z-Moves & I really don't like Alolan Pokemon. Enough said, I got it to complete the series. Move on.

LEGO Star Wars - Anakin Skywalker's Podracer 20th Anniversary I really like the design of this, especially how it have see-through technic beams holding the Podracer up. I really like the details on the engines and the pod's cockpit. More importantly I really like original yellow-faced Luke Skywalker Minifigure.

LEGO Star Wars - Imperial Dropship 20th Anniversary I thought was neat with the dropship Stormtrooper Drop Compartment which attaches and detaches with a small technic hinge. This set came with the yellow-faced Han Solo with classic Ion Blaster. Now that I have 2/5 sets, I will probably go after all of the sets to complete the collection.

The Detective Pikachu Trading Cards Case File Pack is really neat, you get two packs of Detective Pikachu Special Cards & one pack of Pokemon Sun & Moon Pack. It also came with Detective Pikachu Promotional Card & Detective Pikachu Card Storage Book. Meh... I just thought it was really cool.

Shazam! shows the story of Billy Baxton beginning his like with a new foster family and later being summoned to Rock of Eternity where he meets the Wizard of Shazam, who grains him the powers of the Gods; Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles & Mercury so he came become Shazam when he said the wizard's name. He is tasked by defeating the Seven Deadly Sins who are controlled by Doctor Sivana.

Hellboy is the remakes which follows the story of Hellboy and his many encounters with mystical folklore enemies and beasts while he is recruited to the B.P.R.D. He is tasked with re-killing the Blood Queen Nimue who plagues England until she was originally defeated by King Arthur using Excalibur.

Avengers: Endgame I won't spoil but I really loved it. There was slightly annoying banter with Thor, Korg and Miek. I also thought Captain Marvel was really cool but kinda like a thank god she was called by Nick Fury in Infinity War... Also the last 50 minutes was amazing. But the last what I'm guessing was 15ish minutes I almost cried and the last 3ish minutes I did cry. I shall leave it at that.

The Mirage Tower - Pokemon Emerald

The Mirage Tower can be found in the Desert Part of Route 111. I say "can be found", because the Tower only appears rarely. You need to enter the Desert from the Northern Half of Route 111, making sure you have the Mach Bike and a Pokemon with Rock Smash. The Mirage Tower vade in and out of sight once entering the Route rarely, so if you don't see any disappearing & reappearing tower, you need to try again later. If you do see the Mirage Tower, you need to quickly make your way to the front door and go inside before it disappears again.

The Mirage Tower has 4 floors, the ground floor you just need to climb the ladder in the north-side on the floor. The second floor you need to work your way round anti-clockwise around the room, using the Mach Bike to quickly ride across the weak floor panels, staying too long on the panels will cause the floor panel to break and you will fall to the floor below. The third floor you need to break a boulder using Rock Smash to climb the ladder into the top/left of the room. On the top floor there is the Claw Fossil & Root Fossil. You can only choose one, the other will fall down into the shifting sands. The Claw Fossil can be turned into Anorith & the Root Fossil can be turned into Lileep.
