There's no other way to describe what received from Sonichu (Christian Weston Chandler) of Cwcville -- a full Video (VHS) Documentary that walked us through this daily life. His opulent manor contained every manner of furniture. Cwcville's landscape was filled to the bursting point with all the animals who'd moved to his well-tended town. And Sonichu has customized everything about his town -- even many villagers have followed his bold trends, wearing the patterns he has created!

It may be hard to find free time in between classes, especially with exam week quickly approaching, but PVCC student, Christian Weston Chandler, had dedicated many hours to his past time. He is the creator of Sonichu, the Electric-Hedgehog Pok'eMon. Like Sonic, Sonichu can run at high speeds. "During Super Sonic's battle against the Perfect Chaos monster (Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX for Dreamcast/Gamecube). Super Sonic was spat out by the monster, and collided with a by-standing Pikachu," Chandler explained. According to his story, the power from the Chaos Emeralds transformed Pikachu into Sonichu. The idea for the character came from a project Chandler was assigned his Seinor Year of (Manchester) High School. He was enrolled in a computer graphics class that required him to design a CD cover. His original idea was to put Sonic and Pikachu on the cover, however, both characters are copyrighted. Instead, he decided to combine the characters into something All His Own. Thus, on March 17, 2000, Sonichu Was Born. Over time, Chandler began to mold and expand the life of Sonichu, giving him stories, homemade trading cards, clay figures, a board game, and a Sonichu Medallion (with charms), among other things. Chandler and the world he created for Sonichu were featured in the May, 2004 issue of ''Nintendo Power''. The place is called Cwcville (The "Cwc" prefix are his initials, Christian Weston Chandler). Nintendo Power was apparently impressed with Chandler's work, "Simply amazing. There's no other way to describe what we received from Sonichu - a full video documentary that walked us through his daily life." The documentary, running about an hour, was taped from the Nintendo Gamecube title, ''Animal Crossing''. He dubbed his voice over the sound through a microphone and audio input in his VCR. In the documentary, Chandler covers "basically how I do things in ''Animal Crossing'' as the boy character (WHO REPRESENTS) Sonichu (in ''Animal Crossing'' ONLY), in the city of Cwcville." Some of the tasks include using the journal as a monthly diary, making money, customizing the city, and coversing with another ''Animal Crossing'' city. For now, Sonichu remains a hobby. In the future, Chandler would like to see Sonichu and his friends as real Pok'emon, even having their own Nintendo Gamecube video game title. "I am not really sure what to do in order to do all that." Chandler said, "but for now, Sonichu and I, Christian Weston Chandler, are in ''Nintendo Power'' Magazine." ==April, 2005== ===Nintendo Power, Volume 190, April, 2005, Page 8 and 9=== [[Image:CWCSprung.jpg|left|thumb|300px]] [[Image:NPVol190.jpg|left|thumb|300px]] '''DS = Dating Service''' ---- Christian Weston Chandler, via the Internet, From Virginia I recently purchased a Nintendo DS and a copy of Sprung. I originally bought the game, because I needed some lesson on what to say to, or do for, a girl. To make a long story short, I developed a fear that all the pretty girls are already paired up with a boyfriend. I've dubbed this social phobia '''Noviophobia''', after the Spanish word for Boyfriend. Anyway, before Sprung, I was afraid to approach most women (FYI, I was 22-years old then). I tried to silently attract a Boyfriend-Free Girl, mostly with signs, for over one year and four months. Then Sprung provided me with general things to say and do, so I felt more confident. When I tried my new-found expressions from the dating simulator, I forgot my fear of the infinitely-high boyfriend factor, and I met a couple of lady friends with whom I feel more comfortable. So thank you, Nintendo and Ubisoft, for the dating advice that this Frustrated Virgin needed. **Then weeks later, I was back in the same old rut. :( --[[User:ChrisChanSonichu|ChrisChanSonichu]] 06:26, 16 August 2009 (CEST) ==Sonichu News Dash== **Stay Tuned for the re-uploads of the Shortly-Lived, can be revived, News Dash Newsletter.
