I do have plans for some Raspberry Pi projects - I've looked at it a lot, we started with the Conways Game of Life kit to get our soldering figured out before going on to something that could blow every fuse in the building first.

But now, I'm starting to look at this: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/nuc-family.html and thinking that with a little touchscreen you could be making your own surface, basically, and probably all customized up.

Maybe, eventually - but yeah there's projects.

Cheating is cheating though - you have to raise your pokemon with love, or else trade them with others who have as well. Also, the new game makes grinding way less involved.
