Pokémon Sunday Non-Info and some more CoroCoro stuff

Just a quick update. Basically Pokémon Sunday this week didnt reveal any new information. In fact, all they’ve done is just tease all the new Pokémon we know about from this months CoroCoro magazine. There are 2 reasons why this has happened, one is because Pookémon Sunday is filmed a few weeks in advance and the second is because this months issue of CoroCoro magazine isnt officially due out until the 15th of this month. Hopefully we’ll have some video of the new Pokémon in action next month, but Pokémon Sunday will unlikely reveal any other new info.

As for CoroCoro, we’ve got a few pieces of additional infomation. Zorua and Zoroark are only available by thier respective events (the 13th movie Celebi for Zorua and one of the Shiny Legendary dogs for Zoroark). Interestingly, the Zorua and Zoroark are suppose to represent the Zorua and its Mother Zoroark from the 13th movie, Ruller of Illusions: Zoroark.

Zoroark will know Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, Scary Face, and Taunt when you catch it in Black and White, while Zorua will know Scratch, Leer, Pursuit, and Fake Tears. Zoroark can learn a new move called ‘Night Burst’ that will also lower the opponents accuracy. It is clamed to learn the move at a high level.

Aparently, Hihidaruma’s ability, Encourage, will boost the power of attacks, but will disable any secondary effect they have (which would be useful is they disable effects that would lower your own stats)

Acording to Pokebeach, Meguroko’s new ability, EarthquakeSpiral, should be translated as Overconfidence. While this makes more sense for a move that boosts attack power after it KO’s an opponent, most sites seem to be sticking to EarthquakeSpiral for now. However see the note at the bottom of this news artical for info on names.

Also according to Pokebeach, Zekrom’s Ability should be Teravoltage, not Terra Voltage. This makes more sense as teravolt is a unit of messurments for voltage, where as terra would more be for earth moves. Still again, see the note below for names.

One thing to note about names of new Pokemon, Abilities, Moves, Towns or anything introduced into Black and White, is that the name we have for it now is the Japanese name, and it is likely that it will be changed for the English version of the games. The only exception to this are Reshiram and Zekrom, as their names have been featured on Pokemon.com and Nintendo.co.uk – both English speaking sites. However every other name of a Pokémon, Move or Ability has the possibility of being renamed. However until it apears in English, all we have is the Japanese names to work with. As soon as we know English names for things, we’ll start posting them here.

That’s all for now, we’ll bring you more news when we know it!

Heart Gold and Soul Silver – New Information

Hey there, Ryan659 here…Just filling in for WhoKnows_WhoCares for this post.

There’s been a whole mound of information been released recently on Heart Gold and Soul Silver, due to the upcoming release of the game.  These are listed below.

First off, Suicune, one of the trio of legendary dogs of the region, is caught a little differently to the others. Where the other two are found by regularly checking the map to see where they are, Suicune will stay in a region until you meet it, then flee to another region. After a few regions it then stays in one region, without fleeing at all, giving you a proper chance for a battle. Second, Groudon and Kyogre (depending on version) can be found by being given a Red/Blue Orb (depending on version) by a man on Route 27 after obtaining the National Dex, then seen in a cave west of Cianwood City, with Rayquaza needing both Groudon and Kyogre as already revealed, along with a Green Orb from the same man and being found in the same cave.

Also, there is a large amount of starter Pokémon being given in this game. To start with, you get the original Johto selection, however after collecting all 16 badges and talking to Oak, he will give you the choice of choosing from the Kanto starters. Then, after Red is defeated in Silver Cave (who now has a slightly different team to the original games), a man in Silph Co. in Saffron City will offer you the choice from any of the Hoenn starters.

Along with this, Pal Park is in this game, also. The original site for the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City that was, in the original games, closed, is now the new Pal Park. No other information has been revealed about this area as of yet. Also, trading with Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions is available from this game from the very start, as soon as trading is possible.

More news comes as it is made.

Maximize Your Security Deposit: The Ultimate Move Out Cleaning Checklist

Moving out? I know, it can be a real hassle. But the good news is that with the right approach, you can get your full security deposit back. 🎉 How? The answer is simple: an effective and thorough cleaning plan. Let’s dive into an ultimate move out cleaning checklist. 📝

Start Early and Plan Ahead ⏰

Begin by preparing a plan well in advance. Don’t leave everything until the last minute! Start cleaning and packing a few weeks before your moving date. This way, you’ll have ample time to deep clean every nook and cranny. It’s also a good idea to take pictures of your apartment before you start the cleaning process. This will help you identify which areas need the most attention.

Identify Key Areas for Cleaning 🔍

Next, identify the areas that need the most attention. It’s a good practice to walk through your apartment room by room. Don’t forget to look at small spaces like the inside of cupboards, beneath the fridge, and behind large furniture. These areas are often overlooked but can hold years of dust and grime. Compare these areas with your pre-cleaning photos to ensure you don’t miss anything. Remember, the more comprehensive your cleaning, the higher your chances of getting your full security deposit back.

Clean from Top to Bottom 🔄

Always remember to clean from top to bottom. Start with wiping down the ceiling, then move on to walls, windows, and eventually the floors. For meticulous move out cleaning in CA, trust our expert team to handle every detail, including cleaning sinks and countertops. This ensures that you’re not knocking dust or dirt onto areas you’ve already cleaned. Clever, right? 🧐

Deep Clean the Kitchen 🍽

The kitchen is often the most-used space in a home, so it requires extra attention. Scrub the oven, clean out the refrigerator, wipe down the countertops, and don’t forget about those hard-to-reach areas behind appliances. Leaving the kitchen spotless will definitely impress your landlord. 😉

Don’t Forget the Bathroom 🛁

The bathroom is another area that needs special attention. Scrub the bathtub, toilet, and sink until they sparkle. Clean the tiles and mirrors to ensure they are free of soap scum and water stains. A shiny, fresh bathroom is hard to argue with, so put in the extra elbow grease! 💪

Pay Attention to Details 🔍

Minor details can make a big difference. Remember to clean light switches, door knobs, window sills, baseboards and any other small details that are often overlooked. These small tasks show that you’ve gone the extra mile. 🏃‍♀️

Final Touches 🎀

After cleaning, do a final walkthrough of your place. Check every room, open every cupboard, and ensure everything is in its best state. If anything is broken or damaged, it’s better to fix it yourself than to leave it for the landlord to deduct from your security deposit. 🔧

So there you have it, the ultimate move out cleaning checklist. With this guide, you’re sure to leave your place in tip-top shape and maximize your security deposit return. Happy cleaning! 🥳
