General Chat: Dawn of THE FIRST DAY (72 hours remain)

i might have to buy that

Greninja suspect test is agogo <3

I dislike teambuilding...
I dislike team building with Greninja around even more.
Christ: Building a team around both Charizards, Aegislash, Garchomp, Excadrill, Gyarados, Talonflame, Clefable and Thundurus ALTOGETHER is actually easier to build around >:I They all have (and often share!) usable counters! Which is hard to do when you have no counters!

Mehehry 25th of December ho ho ho! May all your 25th of Decembers have a preceding 26th of December.

You're still 45 minutes early here. And are you sure you meant "preceding" there?

Thanks, D! (I've got about fifteen minutes left on my clock, too, but hey!)

Ohh, that made me realize that we didn't do a Secret Santa this year...

Oh right. We wanted to try that again. We could always do one late? The Slowpoke edition, maybe?

...eheheh whoops, I guess I must be Merlin. In my defense I posted that at 3 in the morning  What's the word I'm looking for? It's on the tip of my tongue.

I WOULD be up for a secret santa except for two things.
1) There's fewer people around nowadays, and
2) The best thing I could possibly give by far is a Latias or Diancie, and everyone kind of already knows that, which means anything I give is either going to be not secret, or disappointing.

id love to join in with the secret santa
anyone wanna wifi trade for gen v (insert sarcasm here)?

That's sad on two counts; one, that wifi isn't even functioning on those games anymore, which is pretty sad and pathetic, and two, even if it was, there's not gonna be a lot of people who would bother anyway. And that's sad, and kinda depressing. :/

This christmas is much quieter than the one where Gelatino got things to do with birds and a HS plush and Nelly got a whole bunch of comics. That was a busy christmas.

i knew the first one thats why i put sarcasm at the end and since i dont have a 3ds well whee
also b2w2 were great everyone should still be playing them

SORRY I'M LATE MERRY CHRISTMAS AND STUFF

SAME SAME I GOT ABSORBED BY ORAS AND SMASH WII U AND ALSO CAPTAIN TOAD TREASURE TRACKER WHICH ARE ALL RLLY GOOD

I'm at the Aqua hideout in AS, team is Metagross, Sceptile, Gallade, Manectric, Tentacruel, Skarmory.

OH JEEZ YEAH I ALSO HAVEN'T POSTED IN FOREVER HAVEN'T I??? UM HAPPY CHRISMERRYMAS OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED

Anyway yeah I got quite a great assortment of games as well! I got a replacement copy of pokèmon X, Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Awakening, some Wii U Wii remotes, and I have a total of 73 dollars gained from relatives that I plan to later spend on Smash Bros Wii U and some various E-Shop titles (haven't decided which yet).

Oh yeah okay, team updates! Good idea! My AS Nuzlocke's still going well. I'm currently about to go into Flannery's gym, and I've got quite a great rotation team goin' on.
Here, I don't think anyone ever actually guessed one of my team members' nicknames correctly, so I'll go ahead and repost them. Guess away!

Marshtomp
Mightyena
Breloom
Ninjask
Loudred
Sableye
Swalot
Azumarill
Swablu (hasn't gotten trained at all yet, but I'll add it to the rotation after Flannery)

Celia
Argyle
Merengue
Nathaniel
Murray
Cornelius
Nehema
Bluebell
Pepper

Pfft, you youngins and your vidya games. Back in MY day we... still have all those video games since I'm kind of in the prime of life and this was a terrible comparison so I'm gonna take a leaf out of Tumblr's book and end my pointless comment with an equally pointless question mark?

Damn, those are tough. Swalot has to be argyle, because, you know. (also, good nickname if that is in fact true.) Loudred is Nehema because I just googled that and it fits. Celia is prooooobably Swablu? Which reminds me, I got a shiny perfect Swablu from a trade a few days ago, still have to train it though. I called it Arioso on the basis that Aria is kind of cliche. Merengue... not really sure? It could be any of them. After that I'm just guessing and I can't see any Pokemon that remind me of one of the lead characters from the Bartimaeus trilogy so I'm all out of guesses r.e. Nathaniel :I

Ummm any of you guys up for an ORAS battle because I'm trying to use one of the new Megas and half of everybody on the PSS is still playing XY (damn you game freak and your patchless game updates!!) and the other half are busy. Whenever, I'm in no particular rush.
Or we could try a patchy Kid Icarus battle? It's been so long since I got that game but I still find it fun and I love my current weapons. Or even Mario Kart I guess... Smash would probably be too laggy. Basically: I want to combine both video games and having fun with other people

You are correct regarding Swalot! I in fact named him that as a direct result of that one conversation we had way back when when about whether Gulpin and Swalot are fashionable enough to be used by Team Flare.

Loudred is not Nehema. I... do not actually know what Nehema means? The 'mon with that name was named after the princess in Eversion just 'cause it seemed fitting :I

Celia is not Swablu. Funnily enough, when I first named Celia, I thought to myself that the name would make a lot of sense for a Swablu, but I decided to use it on the not-Swablu anyways because I couldn't think of anything better at the moment.

Merengue is a meaningful name, much like Argyle. Think about merengue itself (the dessert, that is) and you'll probably figure it out.

The name Nathaniel is not a reference to any work of fiction. It's just kind of a name that I like. I originally named that 'mon Daniel but then I gave him the full name because it sounds more interesting. Just as a hint, Nathaniel and Cornelius are the only two nicknames here that do not have any basis or meaning.

Uhhhh... Actually I have initially thought of the dessert, but then I dismissed it because I felt confident that you wouldn't have misspelled it as a dance, when in fact you meant Meringue. Which is pronounced merANG, as opposed to mer-in-gay, which is pretty different. Uhh. Was I wrong? Er.

In which case Meringue, sorry Merengue, is Swablu and Celia is confused. Swablu would be especially relevant if it learned Dragon Dance, also.

Oh. Huh. I could've sworn "merengue" was the right spelling for the dessert. Um, guess I'm off to the Name Rater again!

I got A Link between Worlds and AS for christmas.

On that note, I finished A Link between Worlds yesterday, so I'll probably start AS soon. (I'm still missing two heartpieces, which annoys me a little but I think I have everything else)

My family hasn't had the chance to celebrate any holidays yet because almost all of us caught the flu.

you guys
zinnia is fucking fantastic
._.

She kind of irritated me because she just ran in and sabotaged everyone else's plan without explaining that she had her own, much less what her own plan was. Not exactly responsible world-saving.

Her plan was totally wrong in the end, too.
And that is exactly how I would go about doing something like this. Though literally, I was Brendan in this situation, I would totally be the one who just fucks up everything for everyone, passes the buck to the real hero, then disappears into nothing looking like a total badass while doing it.

Her plan wasn't totally wrong, she just messed up a couple details.
