  1. Just getting some cotton with blue, orange and green ink. ^^
    Need it to buy some good games next year.

    We’re also getting a PS3 in January, but it’s not christmas-related.

    and i wanted to say this yesterday,but forgot till now!

    trust your pilot,respect your monkey(s)

    if you dont get this,the pilot is the trainer,while pansage,pansear,and panpour are the monkeys,and they trust you,while you respect them 🙂

    i thought that was kinda cool,because of the monkey english name release,so i thought i would say it 🙂

    again,merry christmas,and have some fun in japan ,PJ

    by the way,does this symbol, :CD ,kinda look like mario?i think it does,but i wanted to ask.

    • Not the games I really want to play, I heard Mickey’s got some camera issues?
      And I have played SMB on the NES, so I’m not tempted to buy it.

      Nice team however, it reminds that I have to level mine to 100 :p

      • thanks for the comment on my team,daedardus.do you have any suggestion as for hold items for my team?

        i dont have camera issues with epic mickey.people also say there are control issues,i am saying,if you cant control the pointer on the brush,your going to have problems,and its not hard to control the brush,just point at the screen,and press B or Z,thats all for the brush,its so simple.some people complain about the simple things about games.

        • Depens on the moveset. My garchomp works well with a choice scarf. And life orb, expert belt or a supereffective type-weaken berry can never miss.

          And about the simple things: more mature gamers feel like everything needs to “click” for the game to be really good. They have played better/thighter games in the past and present and are put off because an other game does it right.

          Reply

          • just ignore what you have read about Epic Mickey. The cameras and controls are fine. Im about half way through the game and iv not had a single problem with it. Although i wish the good/bad advancement was more clear. Iv tried to do a “good” playthrough by using Thinner only when necessary, and using Paint to progress the stages and do the quests, but certain quests will give points in the other direction without telling you before hand.

  5. i also need a heart scale,so i can teach my garchomp fire fang,so it can counter ice and grass.if anyone has a extra one,let me know

    • Why March? Is it the 3DS or something else?

      Congrats with your HeartGold, and clothes aren’t bad things. Trust me, running around naked will certainly get you some weird looks.

        I CAN’T WAIT

        oh also, i think i heard somewhere that game freak specifically did some of the work on the 3DS?? Can anyone confirm that?
        cuz if they did, i might just expect a great third version of b/w with a LOT of extra features 😀
        That would kinda even out b/w’s lack of new stuff (IMO)
        I kinda want them to renew the series FULLY, because now they are mainly making money off of what they did 15 years ago with the red/blue versions

        ….still buying it anyway….. God dammit Capitalism wins again

  11. im going to be making a uber team.i just need some pokemon

    adament or jolly ho-oh
    timid mewtwo
    bold lugia
    i think i will use my timid shiny dialga
    adament or jolly groudon
    and ill use my modest shaymin-s

    to get ho-oh,mewtwo,lugia,and groudon,i think i will have to restart my soul silver 🙁 but i can get everything off it

    wish me luck everyone,im going legend hunting 🙂

    Reply

      • well,i planned for a nattorei,but getting it to learn stealth rock and leech seed is too hard,so i figured lugia was the next best thing

        135 def/154 sp.def/110 speed
        with roost,i can outspeed most opponents,and reheal half of lugia’s hp,before getting hit

        so,i feel lugia would be better,nattorei dosent have roost,or recover.i know its good,but lugia just suits me.plus,lugia is my favorite legendary 🙂

        Reply

        • Do you stil need a bold lugia? I have one my SS and I can get another one on HG, so I don’t really need. I’m not sure of its IV so I can look them up if you wish. Make me a reasonable offer and he’s yours. Ofcourse no hacked pokemon please.

          Reply

          • well,actually,i looked on smogon,and lugia is better with a timid nature,so thats how i will do it
            but i do appreciate the offer,thank you,daedardus
            however,if you have a timid palkia,ill trade something for that.it must be untrained.and i dont trade hacks,people who do are weak,and lack disipline,and cant train for their own effort pokemon

          • I can get you a level 1 timid Palkia. It takes a while however to SR but I can do it for you.
            The Lugia sucked anyway: he was 8/21/5/24/6/22 :p

      • thx for the luck,JKT17

        i also made one change on my team.
        im going to use my modest palkia over my shiny timid dialga.

        so,here is what it will be:
        ho-oh
        groudon
        lugia
        palkia
        shaymin-s
        and mewtwo

        ill try using hold items,im just not used to the choice scarf,just dont like how it works,plus i only got one on my black version 🙁 but,ill try to think of something

  12. My Xmas isn’t done until after the new year (Yay divorced family arrangements), but my most notable gifts were:

    – Avatar: Collector’s Edition
    – Random giftcards
    – Cash
    – New battery for my phone
    – Several blankets (and I mean SEVERAL)
    – SNOW~! (Okay, maybe not a gift to me specifically, but hey, my birthday was yesterday. I CLAIM THE SNOW AS A GIFT TO ME!)

    And my Betta fish got a shiny, new 5 gallon aquarium, along with a filter a heater, and some new fabric plants (although he won’t know it until tomorrow, the tank still has to cycle).

    Merry Xmas, PJ~!

      • Mainly Target, Walmart, and the movie theatre near my house. I go to a small college, so when I go back the only stores nearby are basically the big chains, and even then they’re the next town over.

        As for the blankets, your guess is as good as mine. For some reason, people LOVE giving me blankets for the holidays. However, one of them may be re-gifted, as it’s one of my best friend’s favorite shades of green. Normally, I don’t like to re-gift, but this year I’ve gotten about 5 blankets, so I’m making an exception.

        Reply

        • What?! Five blankets!! xD
          But I’ve never understanded gift cards, why not giving someone real cash? Maybe it’s because here we don’t have superstores like Wal-Mart but more smaller ones. Although many people receive them, but tomorrow you can find all of them on ebay :p

          Reply

          • Mhmm, my thoughts exactly. But I like giftcards, they let me conserve my cash flow without taking up space -w-

  14. Tron Legacy 3D with group of friends, Tron Legacy 3D with family, Tron Legacy 3D with one of my best friends… and most likely later, Tron Legacy 3D with family that hasn’t seen it…
    And rum cologne
    Pokemon-related…. The monkey’s names were actually really cool… can’t wait for what dennis’s name will actually be

  15. I just got a dsi as a Christmas gift for myself. That’s all. They won’t give me anything mainly because I have my own work now. XD

      • It’s the winter solstice festival that took place at this time in roman times, before the christians figured it would be a neat idea to place their prophets birthday on that date and call it a christian holiday.
        Similar to how lots of churches were built on pagan worship places. People would walk to the same place, just worship a different guy LOL. Makes converting easier.
        Hahaha and the christmas tree, which also has sooo much to do with christmas, was actually a ritual of the pagans. They went out into the forest, and took a tree back in their house, to feel closer with nature. At least that was an interesting reason xD

  18. Got an unexpected MP3 player (my first one!) and a $25 ebay gift certificate with which I immediately purchased Muramasa: The Demon Blade for Wii. XD

  21. Do any one you know what Walmart’s Christmas Return Policy is? Someone bought me Zatchbell Cards for some reason, and i have no desire to learn to play something like that. Nooo, they couldnt have bought me Pokemon or Yugioh, something i actually know how to play, they had to buy me some weird magic doll cards with seemingly satanic symbols on the “spellbook” card album -.-
    No offense to those of you who like it, it just seems a little too weird for me.

    Anyway, I dont have a receipt or anything and i was wondering if they let you refund presents like that after Christmas. If i do return them ill probably buy me some Pokemon cards in return since that family member atleast thought to buy me cards instead of the usual and generic shirts or headphones -.-

  22. I got $50, a $200 new camera, a $40 pair of Skull Candy headphones, a $25 dollar iTunes card, the Hunger Games box set worth $30, I get to redecorate my room (should be around $250), and I still have more on the way! Yay for a $595 Christmas! (so far)

    • It’s about 400 dollars.
      And you get 3 months. 🙁
      Do you sometimes get one day off? With some Christian holidays that are always on sunday we get monday off.

  25. Lol my Christmas was normal too 😛 Besides, it ain’t Christmas when you have an annoying little brother who literally is the controller of the TV. He seriously won’t let you watch anything else other than those stupid Playhouse Disney shows (back here, it runs ALL DAMN DAY). Dosen’t help he has a bratty attitude and there were family problems afoot. Merry Christmas to me~
