Fyrefly, you could actually read the article?
I gave up after ポケットモンスター。:(
My Silver's battery died, too. I won't lose my game this time.
Not much of it... but enough to get the gist...
Lol @ "Poketto Monsutaa" XD XD
I was so cut the other day... in the test we had to transcribe kanji => hiragana and visa versa.
I knew the kanji meant "kayoobi", right?
I 4got how 2 write 'bi' in hiragana... great time 4 a mental blank

I wrote it in roomaji so @ least she knows that I knew the kanji, even tho I epic-failed hiragana.
Mind you, they haven't taught us the kanji for fire yet, but they're testing us on it anyway... go figure >.>
Oh, and I transcribed 四月 as よんがつ instead of しがつ... 先生 will torture me 4 the rest of semester about that.
Trust me to know the hard stuff, but 4get the easy stuff -.-"
The Nintendo DS has an internal clock, yeah?
That would eliminate the need for a battery in the actual cartridge...
Mayb ova summer I'll borrow a DS and have a crack @ it - I may even know enuf Jap 2 play that version.
It would actually b vaguely educational then... mayb.
