Young Boy Claims to See the Legendary Pokémon: HoOh. By Jordan Huang
10yearold Ash Ketchum claims to have seen the legendary HoOh while attempting to escape from an angry flock of Sparrows with his injured Pikachu. The young boy stated that he and his Pokémon had blacked out after taking a fall, waking up later to witness something that few humans will ever see. The young Pokémon trainer was just setting out on an adventure many children begin once coming of age: the journey to become a Ash Ketchum, the boy who claimed to see Pokémon Master. Ash claimed that, after the legendary Pokémon, with his trusted receiving his first Pokémon and setting out on hisPikachu. journey, things weren’t quite going as planned. “Pikachu was disinclined to acquiesce my numerous requests, and I tried to take matters into my own hands by battling a nearby Spearow,” said Ash during interview. In a terrified attempt to escape the angry swarm of birds, the young trainer was forced to pilfer the bicycle of another young trainer by the name of Misty, who happened to be fishing nearby. “I don’t care what happened to him,” she grumbled in discontent, “If that twerp has wrecked my bike, he’s gonna be in for a world of pain!” Unfortunately for the young water trainer,Misty, a witness to Ash’s escape from the Ash had already destroyed her bicycle in a Spearows, is also a young trainer with a love fevered attempt to escape the angry Sparrows. for water Pokémon. As the birds circled, and the fresh trainer braced, fearing death, his Pikachu sprang up and baffled the swarm with a flash of lightning, knocking out itself and its master as well. As the clouds parted and the duo awoke from their loss of consciousness, they claimed they were greeted with the most extravagant of sights. Ash believes that he saw the legendary HoOh hovering over the forest as the sun rose over the horizon, and, Ash Ketchum, the boy who claimed to see though few choose to believe him, little can be the legendary Pokémon, with his trusted said what about what really happened on this Pikachu. adventurous day.

Dear Jason Huang
The thing that I like about Jason’s magazine is that it gives you all the information about your favorite games. Jason has a whole bunch of good information about games and pictures of the games. He is a good editor for his magazine because he has ads and he has all the articles spread out all over the magazine. He also got a lot of help from his friends and workers. Sincerely,
Zachary Wahlfeld
Dear Magazine editor: I just recently read your last magazine issue. Upon reading it, I had a major disagreement with your “fact” about the best games. You confidently stated that, quote “The best game series ever is Halo.” I have reason and evidence that in most copies ever bought for one gaming franchise is Legend of Zelda. This popular series having over 6 entries, including Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Twilight Prince, and more. Having played all of these games as a young child with my older brother on the GameCube. I have to disagree. with your “fact.”

Video Games; Then and Now By Jeanne Campbell
traffic on a Saturday afternoon, and purchased one of the last copies. When I looked at the cover I found it strangely familiar. It was Super Mario World Wii. It didn’t quite click until we started to play. Up to four people could play instead of just two and all four people could play at the same time, on the same screen. Needless to say I was skeptical but I figured why not give it a try, and I picked up a controller. In not too long a time we were all laughing hysterically. I also found myself gripping that I remember playing Super Mario World for thecontroller with such force my hands hurt. That Super Nintendo gaming system with my boys,inner child woke up inside of me and I had the years ago. It was so much fun going through thebest time of my life. Nintendo had taken an old classic game and made it new again. The added different levels trying to collect coins and mushrooms (also known as ‘big’s). We wouldfeatures also made it more entertaining than ever. Nintendo also gave me an opportunity to finish all the levels in one world and wait to see reconnect with my boys in a way I had not done what the next world would be like. in quite a long time. Trying not to get hit by turtle shells or Goombas seemed quite easy back then. I even remember A big ‘Thank You’ goes out to Nintendo and an the boys asking for my help when trying to beateven bigger ‘Thank You’ goes out to the best the big boss, Bowser. They would look at me askids in the world. They never gave up on me and my ability to collect one more ‘BIG’. if I was the Queen of the video games. Now I find myself watching more than playing, and when I do pick up a controller, I’m the one needing the help ‘beating the big boss’. They don’t seem to mind helping me out when I need it. They truly enjoy playing video games with me; however I’m not into the new style of games so we don’t play together very much anymore. I’ve also found I’m not as interested in playing video games as I use to be years ago. Life goes on and we all grow up, or do we?
This past Christmas the boys said there was a new game out they thought I would really enjoy playing. They said we could all play it together
and it would be a lot of fun. So they called around looking for it one day and finally found a copy on the other side of town. We jumped in the car, drove through
How my little brother got thrown out of a window. By a French toaster “Don’t break my N64!” I yelled at my brother over my shoulder as I ran into the kitchen. “MOM!” I yelled “the new Mario game is only 25 dollars, but only for one day, can we go can we go can we go can we go can we go?” and after my mom calmed me down she said that we could go. When we got to the strip mall the local game sore was in, I ran through crowd of people with my mom trying to keep up. I barged through the doors and there was a LONG line. I waited for 30 minutes to get to the front of the line. And when I finally got there, our conversation went a little like this. “GIMIE DA NEW MARIO GAME!” “Umm what did you say sir?” “I WANT THE NEW MARIO GAME!” “Umm, ok… that will be 20 dollars.
So, this is how it all started. I was sitting in my room looking through a gaming magazine in one morning and I saw an ad for the new Mario game that I had been dying to get, but instead of the normal price of the game, which was 49.99, the price was only 25 dollars, but only for one day only. I was so pumped! I went around my room looking around for any spare coins or bills, and when I was finally done scavenging, I had 26 dollars and 37 cents, just enough to buy my game. I headed down stairs to find my mom when I noticed my brother was screwing around with my brand new Nintendo 64.
After my mom calmed me down enough so I could take my wallet out of my pocket, I paid the cashier and ran into the hall. My mom asked me if I wanted something to eat from the food court, but I just wanted to get home. We pulled into my drive way and I ran into my house and bolted into my living room, and what I found shocked me. My brother was standing over my N46 with a massive hole in it holding a broken controller. After I saw that what followed was a terrifying scene of me chasing my brother around my house 5 times and finally cornered him in my room. And I will say I lost my temper (and potentially my sanity) but, that’s how my brother got thrown out of a window
Video games Combined with Music Music is a huge deal in this world everything is Video games and music it’s all about the music. I music. You got Rock and Heavy Metal and hip and am just so wowed how much music and video all of that. There is so much music they had to take games there are. one more step and make video games using music Guitar Hero and Just Dance and those drum set and mike and all of that. There is just so much music in this world it’s amazing. All of the games you ever play in your life there will be music Pacman, Sonic, Mario, Halo, Star Wars, Metroid, Gears of War, and so much more. It never ends every day all of the bands in the entire world is playing music. Every day a new song is played or made. The video games are the ones with the music. Each game has like 5-20 songs in each game. It is crazy how big music has gotten in the video game genre. YouTube has so much music and YouTube has video game gameplay and people think it’s boring with just sound effects so they added their own personal music in the game. Those are the two things that go together.
Many Games with music and that are pretty famous
