STMIK Amikom Yogyakarta

On my 18th years of life, I got in to a college named STMIK Amikom Yogyakarta. As you've known this Amikom is in Yogyakarta. It is located in Jalan Ring Road Utara, Condong Catur, Sleman, Yogyakarta to be precise.
There are some degrees being offered at Amikom. Also a few departments, they are Informatics Engineering, Information Systems which I'm attending now, and Informatics Management. I'm studying the Information Systems currently, and I plan on doing my best there.
There are about 14 computer labs in Amikom for you students to use. Not to  mention the other labs I haven't known. Lots of students organization are offered for those who crave for social activities. Yea, the tuition fee is to be considered. As we all know, Private Colleges' tuition fee is more expensive than the State Colleges. Well, Amikom is not any different in this aspect. You may want to think about it more if you want to get in Amikom here. BUT, with all those tuition fees, the facilities provided there are excellent. It's really worth it with the fees we pay. In addition, Amikom may have to provide at least one elevator in every unit of buildings they have because it gets really exhausting to get to the upper floors.
Also, with all those achievements they obtained in and out of country, Amikom gets to be well-known now.
Umm... I think I've said enough for now. Amikom has their own web-page if you all out there might be interested to know more of this Amikom here. You interested now? Don't forget to visit STMIK Amikom Yogyakarta here. :) Thanks.

Sinnoh Starters

Now, I will tell you about the starter pokemon of Sinnoh. In this game, you  can also choose between three pokemon Professor Rowan shows you. I'll tell you something, there is no such thing as the strongest among those three. They just have their own advantages against the others. Let's begin.























Piplup-Prinplup-Empoleon
1. Piplup
 Piplup is the little cute blue penguin pokemon Dawn owns in the Pokemon Diamond & Pearl show. Piplup is the water type starter of this series. It learns bubble as its first water-type move. It has the appearance of a little blue penguin and happy-go-lucky personality. Piplup has the quite balanced stats. If you are a beginner in this, Piplup is your best shot because the first gym you'll face is the rock-type gym which Roark leads and your Piplup will strike Roark's pokemon to nothing. Besides Empoleon's Water-Steel type is quite a thing.
Piplup evolves into Prinplup at level 17, which evolves into Empoleon, a Water-Steel type pokemon at level 36.










Chimchar-Monferno-Infernape

2. Chimchar
Chimchar is the small monkey pokemon. Chimchar is the fire-type starter in this series. Chimchar is owned by a trainer named Paul in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl show but then Paul abandoned Chimchar later on because he thinks Chimchar is not strong enough to be with him. Chimchar is then asked by Ash to start a journey with him after Paul abandoned it. Flint, one of the Elite Four owns an Infernape in the series. Chimchar knows Ember as its first fire-type move. Chimchar has quite good Speed and Sp. Attack stats. Monferno's Fight type can punch the Normal types into oblivion. So you don't have to catch a Fight type on the go if you don't want to catch one. Chimchar evolves into Monferno, a Fire-Fight type pokemon, at level 14, which evolves into Infernape at level 36.









3. Turtwig
Turtwig-Grotle-Torterra
Turtwig has the appearance of a little turtle with a couple of leaves on a little twig on its head. Turtwig is the grass-type starter in the series. Ash owns a Turtwig in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl series. Later on in the series Gardenia, the gym-leader of Eterna City which is a grass-type gym, is known also owns a Turtwig. Even if it's a little slow, Turtwig has a good defense stat. If you want a good defense in a pokemon,Turtwig is your best choice.Turtwig evolves into Grotle at level 18 which evolves into Torterra, a Grass-Ground type pokemon, at level 32.

Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a famous Legendary Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon. Giratina has the ability to change forms between its altered and origin forms by holding an item called the Griseous Orb. Giratina is also the version mascot for Pokémon Platinum. It is the rival of Dialga and Palkia.



Appearance 

Giratina in Turnback Cave
Giratina in Distortion world
Giratina's Altered Forme is a giant, dragon-like Pokémon, with an appearance similar to that of a large sauropod. It has 6 legs, gold protrusions that look like external ribs, and golden horns on its head. Its neck has five red stripes and 4 black stripes. On its back, it has a black stripe pattern that extends to its legs. It has black wings with three red thorn-like appendages called Girasols (a rare type of opal) coming out of them. Giratina's Origin Forme is more serpentine (like an amphiptere) than its Altered Forme. Its wings are now shaped like tentacles with the red thorn-like appendages sticking out at the end. Its mouth is now behind the two appendages in front of its face. They open when Giratina roars or etc. The horns on its head are still the same. Giratina in Origin Forme has five rows of golden spikes protruding out of the torso and near the tail. Five gray and red stripes are partially overlapped by these spikes.



Giratina's Origin Forme
Giratina, Origin forme

Special Abilities

Like some Pokémon, it has a signature move, called Shadow Force, which hits the opponent without fail even if the foe uses Protect or Detect beforehand.
When in its Origin Forme, it retains its phenomenal amounts of HP, like any other Pokémon that is in their alternate formes, and it focuses on more offensive moves, and less on the defensive moves. It switches its Attack stats with its Defense stats in its Origin Forme, making it a great powerhouse. It is also a vastly powerful Pokémon that can use these benefits to fit the trainer's focus on attacking.
It will become Origin Forme when in the Distortion World, or when holding the Griseous Orb, which can be found in a secret part of the Distortion World that can only be entered through a portal in Turnback Cave (The portal will only open if you catch Giratina in the Distortion World) or get it before catching it.

Its arms and shoulders are covered by large armour plates, and each hand holds five nails.
