Today’s Theme: Where would I want to live in the Zelda Universe
So, if I we’re Link and I finally decided to hang up the hero’s sword and that fashionable green tunic for the last time, where would I settle down? If you remember a few days back, I said the npc’s were not that immersive. The towns, on the other hand, are rather great. I love most of the towns in the Zelda Universe. We’ve been to a lot.
So where would I want to retire: Kakariko Village
Just look at it!
It’s been here since Link To The Past, and it’s been pretty good to us. My first memories of this town are from Ocarina of Time. The town theme is timeless. The carpenters are hilarious with all their weird sounds. And you learn the song of storms here!
As much as I remember it being really peaceful and enjoyable, I’m remembering how weird and eerie the village was too.
For starters, the graveyard. Dampe is a very memorable character. He is always stocking the graveyard with his shovel. Not to mention, when he passes away when you move forward in time was really sad to me. But, we did however get the Hookshot, a very cool item.
Next on the eerie list. The skulltula house. The family placed under a curse. The lighting helps set the tone. Dont even get me started on the creepy sounds and dancing.
There’s also the witch’s potion shop. Witches are pretty inherently creepy.
Lastly, the well. The well man. It’s not even a hard part, but the area is so creepy. The fact that you cant truly see the creatures and corridors makes it so I would not go down there if it was me.
But all that aside. It’s a quick horse ride to the Zora’s domain, The Hyrule castle, and the beach(lake)! Not to mention, Death Mountain is your backyard.
Okay, so honestly, it’s a pretty creepy place, but the theme music make’s it very relaxing, and the renovations suggest it’s on the rise! Also, the Kakriko village in A Link To The Past is super sweet, but I have not been there recently enough to recall details.
Anyway, where would you like to like town wise?

100th Post
Today were not doing Daily Post Challenge. Instead, I’m making a simple post. This will be my 100th post on DaHubbz.
This channel is not huge in any sense of the word, however, the regulars that have flocked to my post have been truly great.
Some people comment.
Some people give likes.
Some people simply read.
But regardless that means a lot to me.
I started back in June(July?) with the sole intent of meeting people to chat about Pokemon and Anime. And that’s what I’ve done. I look forward to logging in every day to chat with cool people.
January was our biggest month. Post everyday was challenging with school, but I’m glad I stuck with it.
I thought that would be the biggest thing I did on this account, but I have a project coming up that I hope you guys will enjoy.
I’m still learning to be a good blogger. I’m still developing my own personality and style. I’m still working on networking and meeting new people.(I rarely comment on stuff. I gotta change that this year).
Anyway, I hope you guys have enjoyed the content so far. I’m open to reviewing any anime or manga. Follow me on here and get involved with the content. Follow me on twitter and let’s chat.
Here’s to a good year and 100 more post. Thanks to everyone who motivated me to keep blogging
As always, thanks for reading!

Today’s Theme: My favorite race.
I like the Legend of Zelda has used some unique-ish races in it’s game. The dekus are an interesting plant based life form. The Zoras are fish people. Lastly, the Gorons are mountain dwellers. Oh, and the two human races, Hylians and Sheikahs. Those there are the main, though they’re not the only ones
So which is my favorite: Zoras.
The dekus are beautiful and very peaceful(For the most part). Though, they’ve never struck me as interesting. They do become somewhat of an interest in Windwaker due to a more reoccurring nature of the race within that game. Gorons are quite funny and their civilizations may be up there in the most fun to adventure in. They give personality to Death Mountain in Ocarina of Time. However, Zoros are the race I think is the most interesting throughout the whole the series.
They got their start as River Zoras in the original game. They were villains and albeit very annoying and flat villains, but later on they became an interesting part of the Zelda mythos. In some of the old games, they granted Link the ability to swim or better maneuvering in water. Not to mention, from the Zora’s Domain to the the Great Bay, they always have some of the prettiest homelands in the series. I remember being captivated by the Zora ‘s Domain in Ocarina of Time. Their fancy hierarchy and the Jabu-Jabu fish just made them a fun clan to learn about.
So whose your favorite race in The Legend of Zelda universe?
Thanks for talking the time to read this!

Today’s Theme: Which game had the best supporting cast?
As much as I love the Zelda series, their NPC’s just feel flat most of the time. I mean the regulars are solid, but I just do not get immersed with the npc like in Fallout per se. One game I do feel is different. One game I think got the NPC’s right.
So which game is it: Windwaker
Yes. I feel Windwaker had the best supporting cast. I suppose you could make an argument for Majora’s mask. After all, you see all these people in their finally days! But I have to give the nod to Windwaker. Windwaker is much more vibrant and I think that goes well with the characters. From the pirates, to the dekus, to the rito’s. The characters brought out the best of their island, and the islands brought out the best in their inhabitants. It’s this special relationship that I think that gives it the advantage.

Daily Blog Challenge: February 2nd
Today marks the first daily blog of February! This months theme is Legend of Zelda based. So all questions will be about LoZ
Today’s Theme: My First Experience Will The Legend of Zelda
My first time with the LoZ franchise was Ocarina of Time. This is probably common for early to mid 90’s kid. Originally I was watching my uncle teach my cousin how to play. It was at the Lon Lon ranch. They had just learned Epona’s song. I do not know what it was exactly. I never really played games as much as I did watch them. I watched my dad and mom play games before bed a lot. This was the first game I saw someone play and thought “Oh, man. I have to learn to play this game. Like right now.” My memory is not the best, so I never remember which I played first: Pokemon Red or LoZ.
Now, I’ve played every home console one except Skyward Sword because it required motion plus, which I did not have at the time sadly.
So what was your first experience with the Legend of Zelda? Were you throwing it back on the NES or rocking the new Wii titles? Or somewhere in the middle?
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Today’s Theme: Thoughts on Chandelure being added to Pokken
For starters, if you havent read my “What 5 pokemon’s should be added to Pokken” already, go do so. *End of shameless plugging*
Chandelure is the latest pokemon added to the highly anticipated Tekken style pokemon game, Pokken. With it’s gameplay trailer dropping today: Here’s my thoughts.
If you haven’t seen the video already, check it out here Chandelure Announcement Video on crunchy roll.
For starters, I do not like that they choose Chandelure. Nothing against it, but we already have Gengar. Plus, if we had to go with another Ghost type, I would much whether want to get Rotom. Rotom could change types to help him get a boost on his opponent and have access to more moves.
But, Chandelure is what we’re given, so lets roll with it.
Right of the bat, for who Chandelure is and as much as I am hating on it, I still like what they’ve done with it. It looks like it has a nice move pool and cool animations. I’m torn on the cry though. It’s creepy, but at the same time sounds like a kid whine. Maybe it’ll grow on me over time. I do actually enjoy that Chandelure is a more an out there choice. The other character’s are usual suspects, so seeing Chandelure’s face here is refreshing.
However, both fire and ghost are represented while a handful of types are not. I’m hoping Chandelure is not the last reveal or at least get some DLC to help cover other types.
Either way, Chandelure looks to spice things up and I appreciate that nonetheless.
So what are your guys thought on Chandelure joining the fight?
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Top Five Type Pairings That Need To Happen
Volcanion was released a few weeks ago becoming the first ever Water/Fire. With the addition of Fairy, the type combos now seem endless. Here’s a list of Top Five Pokemon Pairing that need to Happen Nintendo!
#5 Ice/Bug- And who said bugs could only grow in forests? I must admit, I don’t know how well this pokemon would preform but I love the concept. Creepy little bugs crawling all over the south pole. I just imagine them looking horrifying. They do not really compliment each other’s weaknesses too well. Ice handles bug’s weakness to flying though.
#4- Bug/Fairy- I might be the only person here who wants to see this come to life, but that is okay. Most of their pairings are pretty typical. Seems every generation has a Bug/Poison, Bug/Flying, Poison/Grass. I get excited for the odd ball typing like Bug/Electric. Seeing this typing in the future will add some spice to the game.
#3 Psychic/Poison-This typing seems too dreamy to ever come true. I like poisons but with this typing it would give them that heavy hitter it needs. The special attack and speed would be there. Poison could give it a bit more of physical side and allow for some mix sweepers.
#2 Electric/Fighting- This one seems like a cool concept. I imagine it being super hyper and feisty. It would always be looking for a fight. Having fighting would help him against steel pokemons. Also, being electric would easily take care of fighting’s weakness to flying. Plus, I’ve seen Pikachu with boxing gloves on too many times to not want this happen!
#1 Grass/Fire- Grass pokemon’s thrive in sunlight. Think about it. Chlorophyll, solar powered, etc. Fire pokemons love sunlight too. It would increase their attack by 50%. So imagine a 50% stronger fire blast and being able to cast solar beam in one turn. Being grass negates the weakness to water and ground. Being Fire negates it’s weakness to fire, ice, and bug.
What are some combos you’d like to see? let me know!
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Check back tomorrow for the last day of January!

Sorry about no update yesterday! Busy day! Doing two today
Today’s Theme: Early Thoughts on Volcanion
The latest pokemon was revealed a while back and I debated on just waiting til they released the full story, but since were winding down on Pokemon Month, might as well talk about our new goodie!
Volcanion. Pokemon Number 721. Fire/Water. The Steam Pokemon
This guy looks like the real deal. I enjoy the concept and the design very much. To me, looks like a fox’s face with a turtle like body? maybe. I like the ring around him. It’s a cool addition.
They’ve only revealed a short video, so there is a lot left to be desired, but it’s a good start.
He’s the first ever fire/water pokemon. I know! You’d think after 20 years there would be more. but nope. He’s the OG man. This will be the topic of a top five later.
So here’s a quick description of what he can do. He has a unique organ in his body that turns water vapor into powerful fire. Oh, and his heat can straight destroy mountains. I pulled this info from Bulbapedia. Go there to check out their page for more info on this guy.
The negative. Guess what his ability is. Come on guess. Something unique for this unique little creature? Or maybe pressure? The go to for legends. Nope. You’d be wrong. Bulbapedia has it listed as water absorb. I get that, but why not have the option for flash fire? It’s the same concept. Or, what I would prefer, blending the two. Such as “If this pokemon is hit by water or fire moves, it increases his HP.” or what I call Steam Powered “If this pokemon is hit by a water or fire move, this pokemon receives a boost in special attack” I just feel like this ability makes more sense than just water absorb. That part is kinda lame. I mean, I get that matches his organ ability and every thing.
So yeah. Lot’s of potential for this guy. I am going to keep my eyes peeled for sure.
What about you guys? What do you think? Havent seen it yet? Head over to Bulbapedia and search Volcanion, or go to the pokemon website and watch their video.
Thanks for reading this!

My Life as a Teacher 1/30/16 and Daily Blog Update
So, yesterday I did my first day of subbing. It was not bad at all. Just really, really boring. The teacher I subbed left the students 5 work sheets to do over the course of the hour and a half class. Only the students had already done 3, and they knocked the other two out within 20-30 minutes. This resulted in a boring but easy day. I let the students speak quietly among themselves or listen to music or play games on their phone. It was a Friday and everyone was looking forward to weekend like they were Rebecca Black in that joint. I was already offered to sub again Monday I just have to confirm it.
Right when I got off, my girlfriend and I began babysitting until 12:30am. After that I had homework to do. This is why no Daily Blog went up yesterday. I passed out after homework. I’ll try to do two today to make up for it.
I subbed 10th grade biology for one block and 11th grade U.S. History. My spot Monday would be English as long as it’s still open

Today’s Theme: What occupation would I want in the Pokemon Universe
So many choices. The everyday poke mart that I can relate to(Former DG employee haha). Or how about helping pokemons at a Pokemon Center? I did put up a post about becoming a substitute teacher today, so maybe I’d want to do that? Than there’s the awesome ones. Gym Leader! Elite Four! Champion! That’s pretty close to being the President right? Wait. Does the Pokeverse even have a government?
So what job do I want: Scientist
Yes! The crazy people with voltorbs. While becoming a teacher is a goal of mine, ecology is my passion. I’d love to study pokemons in their habitats. Come on. Is there anything better. To get to swim with goldeens. To fly with Pidgeottos. To explore caves with digletts. To traverse mountains with Larvitar. To discover forests with Heracross’s.
I would probably end up being Professor Birch’s aid. He studies Habitats.
