Pokemon of the Day 4

Hey! I'm guessing you were expecting another short, one-sentence post by Simon about a random pokemon of his choice, but guess what, every sunday, I'll be doing pokemon of the day and hopefully make my posts a bit longer than Simon's.

So, getting down to business, today's pokemon is...

Level of the Day 1

And now, introducing another new daily thing, it's the Level of the Day. Now to start off the levels, I would like to make the first one one of the hardest I've ever played. It's called the Great Palace, in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Now, the thing that REALLY makes this palace difficult is the extreme unfairness of most of the enemies. Basically, they are either nearly impossible to hit or aren't killable and hit you as soon as you jump. Also, the second to last boss is pretty difficult, and it's just about the easiest thing to defeat in this palace. And once you finally complete it, you are awarded with a second quest (Kind of) and amazing music. That's really all there is to say about THIS level.....

Pokemon of the Day 3

Alright, now it's time for the Pokemon of the Day! Today, we have a very strange Pokemon. I'm not even sure what it was based off of. It's of the Poison type and is a spherical ball of gas. This Pokemon is none other than Koffing!



The Beatles Vs. The Hollies

Okay, well there is a lot dispute over these two groups.
And I shall lay down the fact's for you.

The Hollies:

The Hollies had mostly the same music over their years, but they did try other psychedelic, folk music and experiments with different instruments. And a lot of their songs were commercial because they were afraid of not selling(LOL).
They also mainly focused on vocal harmonies. They did focus on the music a lot too, but the vocal harmonies in their songs cannot be matched by any other group.
But, over the years, the band went over some member changes. So, that made a different sound in their harmonies. The first big hit to The Hollies harmonies change was from the first high-tenor singer, Graham Nash, who left in 1969. He had given The Hollies a glass-breaking falsetto. And with the arrival of their new high-tenor, Terry Sylvester, their music went to a more smooth sounding range of vocals.

The Beatles:

The Beatles have done it all. They've done pop, rock'n'roll, blues, folk, Indian, psychedelic, classical and experimental. And in some songs, they focused greatly upon guitars and bass, unlike The Hollies. Though The Beatles vocal harmonies was great, they could never compare to The Hollies. And they lasted only from 1963-1970, where The Hollies are still playing today, with only two of the original band members, unfortunately. But, The Beatles have received COUNTLESS awards for best selling record, best selling album and much more. In 1966 Paul McCartney(bassist, one of the main song-writers and singer) received an award for best male vocals on the song "Eleanor Rigby". George Harrison(lead guitarist, song writer and singer) is listed on Rolling Stones "Best guitarists of all time" as number 21. John Lennon has received many awards as to "Greatest voice in rock'n'roll". And Ringo Starr(drummer) continues to influence people, though not as good as Bobby Elliot(drummer for The Hollies), he keeps it simple and clean.

Really, all I can say to break between the two bands is the song writing.
The Beatles song writing just about inspired every group in history.
The Hollies was great, but they couldn't ever be compared to The Beatles in that way.

See it however you want to.
They're both awesome bands.

Thanks,

Today's Pokemon of the Day is a Pokemon that reminded me slightly of my dog. This Pokemon is of the Water type and it lives in icy places. Without further ado, the second Pokemon of the Day is Seel!
