  1. Ohgod. I got a pretty high streak in the Poke radar and I’m scared to go into one more patch of grass.. Could I just keep on resetting the Pokeradar and hope for a shiny?

  2. Today is the beginning of a new semester and the day I get new History and Science teachers. It’s a whole new world we live in, do do do do do do.

  3. A few hours ago someone put up a D unown and didn’t specify what letter they wanted so i traded them a D unown. Just now i put up a ? unown listing the unowns i wanted, i got back a ? unown. This is karma in action.

  4. I have seen some really stupid trade requests for Unown.
    From those, i traded a Furret, Honchkrow, Hitmontop, Goodra, and a Scatterbug. (Dont remember the other two. One was shiny.) But c’mon. A Scatterbug for Unown. Wow. xD

    Reply
      • The only trick is continually searching for unowns. When you find one requesting something you have and you gotta do it quickly, hit that little button in the bottom left corner. It shows all boxes and highlights the box with the pokemon you’re looking for.

  5. Someday, my brother and I will go to a convention (preferably E3), and we will cosplay as our favorite Pokémon. I’ll be Mawile and my bro will be Latios. Cosplaying in their Mega Formes would be too difficult, but we could wear necklaces with a Mega Stone in it.

  6. Some intermediate results from the poll. Pokémon Colosseum is quite popular, DPPt winning by far and Flareon is the most chosen Eeveelution.

    These may or may not be actual facts.

    Reply
  7. Real results: RSE winning by a 60% margin. Umbreon has also more than 30% of the votes. Colosseum is on top but it’s close match between Snap and Stadium. And the winning team member has over 30% over the votes.

  8. Now i’m up to 9 Unowns. Traded an Espurr for it. The person wanted an HA Espurr but i mean it’s on the GTS. Theres places online to ask without risk. I only traded Espurr cause it was 1 of 3 Unowns i really needed and was not having luck with ._.

  11. ARRGGH!!!! I’ve had a perfectly good day so far, and my little brother comes and turns it upside down. He’s a huge jerk, he just makes it seem like I’m the mean one, and he’s innocent. And somehow he gets his way everytime . . . he makes my day look as sucky as can be . . . 🙁

  19. For a one month free service that you are more likely than not to abandon it after the free trial expires, you guys can all just calm down. Patience is virtue. I rather have a good, stable service than a choppy, rushed, and poor quality service.

  20. Nintendo should separate PokeTransporter from PokeBank altogether from the beginning. I was expecting a mini-app that works like the Pokemon Transfer Facility in Gen 5.

  23. So I’m wondering if this is “Ethical”
    I was thinking of putting up a Ditto on da GTS for a common Legendary (Xerneas/Yveltal) and using said Legendary to trade for a Quote “Flawless” Ditto
    and then seeing if said Ditto is actually Flawless and if so awesome and if not repeat cycle until someone offers a real Flawless 6IV Ditto

    Reply
    • Well your initial ploy of Ditto (I presume it isn’t 6IV) for Legendary is not “ethical” already.

      And besides, I wouldn’t do legendary for Ditto either since the chance of getting a good trade is very low.

      Reply
      • Eh this is the internet and face facts Mister Style On da Internet we’re all bastards
        I’ve probably wouldn’t be the first to rip someone off on the GTS

        Reply
        • I dunno. To me, just because it’s popular or everyone does it wouldn’t justify me doing it anyway. I won’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I did. I’m a firm believer in “what you are in the dark” and all that jazz.

          It’s still not “ethical” to me, but if you think it’s “justified” to do it…

          I am aware though, that GTS was only designed for trading specific Pokemon species, formes and genders, it doesn’t even attempt to allow specifying abilities, shininess, EV’s and IV’s.

    • I’d get you one but I’m in the office with no wifi and can’t get home except in 10 hours. If you want, you can deposit a pokemon no one wants (not scatterbug or magikarp – maybe one of the PAN**** elemental monkeys) on the gts and ask for a drilbur, and put a custom message on it. Tell me if ur up for it and what message. If you get a drilbur from OT Celeste you’ve got it. Otherwise, reload.

  38. I had an Earth Science midterm today (sorry I’m pretty smart if you didn’t know).
    It took me a whole period (42 minutes) to do the short response packet that was 19 questions, and took me 2 and a half periods (do the math) to do the 50 multiple choice packet.
    I definitely did good on the short answer, but I think I bombed the multiple choice.

  50. Generation VI: Giving popularity to forgotten, yet fantastic Pokémon since August 2013 (when Mega Evolutions were revealed and Mawile and Absol got them, and because of that, more people use them now, and now everybody know who they are, and people use their names in accounts, draw pictures of them, and use them on their teams now, and it makes me so happy now that my favorite Pokémon got upgraded so well, and *explodes of happiness)*.

    • I was harassed for having Longer hair than most boys in elementary school. I was called emo many times in middle school. Best thing to do is ignore them cause they’re honestly not worth your time and won’t get anywhere in life by being Douchebags.

      Reply
      • I’m so happy that I left the socialite pricks from my middle school who made fun of my mullet and took advantage of my social anxiety and all this crap. The people at my high school are the nicest I could ever hope for, and I have been a much happier person 😀 Good thing I will never see them again.

        Reply
        • There’s that as well, going to high school allows you to make more friends and meet new people like yourself. People come and go, Problems come and go. Although it might seem like it, nobody is really alone. Of course it’s full of immature people who act like they have mental disabilities and might be 5. But, the point is. There are awesome people out there.

          Reply
          • There are two things that have made me avoid certain mental disaster recently: choosing my current high school over the one my dad went to (where my “friends” are), and finding PokeJungle. Seriously, PokeJungle is one of the driving factors in my life.

          • Pokejungle has a great community despite few trolls. I feel as though i spent too much time on it xD I had the chance to go to a different school before realizing that i had friends that i would actually miss if i did leave. Switching schools isn’t always the solution. It can bring good and bad things. But i’m glad things worked out for you.

          • Ummm actually that saying was proved false years and years ago because words are the most powerful things in the world.

          • Not for me. I choose what to interpret as worthy of listening to or worrying about, especially with other people. I can’t change the way you think, but nullifying the words of the people you dislike can help you.

          • Next time they come at you with words, retaliate with sticks and stones. Then we’ll see which is more powerful.

        • Playing Pokemon – Nothing wrong with that. That will go away. Like There’s people in college who play pokemon and don’t even care.

          Being Smart – Hey atleast you’ve got more of a brain than they do.
          Being Tall – Makes you more intimidating, just ask Kevin.
          Having Glasses – Alot of people have glasses, even celebrities that people basically worship, no reason to poke fun.
          Having Braces – Atleast you’ll have better teeth than most.

          Reply
          • Anyone who is taller than me in the school doesn’t pay attention to me much anyway, so I can always use it against others XD

          • I’m a lot taller than most kids in my school.
            I can’t really use it though because I’m not good at comebacks.

          • I’m friends with a kid who almost exactly fits your description, except lucky for him, there is no bullying problem at our school. I have only one thing to tell you: you have the power to change what is happening.

          • “Pokemon is gay”
            “You’re such a fag”
            “Just because your tall doesn’t mean I still can’t beat the crap outta you”
            “Glasses and braces? Nerd.”

          • 1. People who lack childhoods and are afraid of judgement, are insecure and homophobic.
            2. Again, they are homophobic and ignorant.
            3. They’ve probably never been in a fight in their entire lives.
            4. Some girls actually like guys with glasses and braces.

    • *Sends hugs* I really don’t want to sound cliche, but a) ignore them b) tell an adult, whether it’s a parent/guardian, teacher, or neighbor and c) feign confidence. I don’t know whether or not it’s been the same person since kindergarten, but bullies only continue if they get a reaction. Sure, they may proceed to harass you in order to crack you, but if you stay strong, there’s nothing for them to stand on. I always found it helpful to use the bully’s own comment against them. (i.e. “Why are you so fat?” “I don’t know, maybe it’s genetic.”) If you quell the insults before they go anywhere, then they’ve lost their momentum.
      Also, bully’s almost always suffer from a superiority complex stemming from a poor self-image deriving from their past. Just know that their life is worse than yours. 🙂

      Reply
      • Well, many of the kids in my school think two of the bullies are gay for each other, so that might be a cause.
        It’s always the popular kids though.
        The ones who fail everything, do drugs, look good, have abs, and play sports 24/7.
        Hate.

        Reply
        • When it comes to an issue of popular kids and cliques picking on others, the best thing to do is to create your own group of friends to even out the balance (for lack of a better phrase).

          Reply
        • “The ones who fail everything, do drugs, look good, have abs, and play sports 24/7.”

          Being popular isn’t everything. Over half of those “Popular” kids won’t get anywhere in life.

          and if they’re gay, they’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.

          Reply
    • Out of curiosity, is this middle school or high school? If it’s middle school, I’m 76% certain this problem will immediately dissipate upon the simultaneous maturation of your class.

          • ahhh really!!??? I just want to make an all fairy competitive team haha – was thinking about it – currently MM’ing for a shiny swirlix that will be the star of my team lol. I’m not apart of a gym or anything so you’ll remain the original lol

          • *Fists Tighten* I know my Ground Types may have weaknesses, but that won’t stop me, I understand Ground Types better then any other type there is, I will brave the toughest challenges and though the roads are paved with people who’ll use fancy means of getting there but i’ll stick to the Paths I know!

          • Despite Giovanni’s notorious ways he’s actually knows more about Ground type then I do, He even wrote a Book in the Manga “Mysteries of the Earth”
            but I don’t use Ground Types for their sheer strength alone, i use then because deep down the Earth Element is in my blood and never felt a greater connection spiritually then through the mountains or plains

          • I keep telling you people this Ground Type thing is not a Gimmick but who I really am, Destiny is telling me that I do have a Connection to Ground Types
            Want to know my First Legit Shiny was?
            A MAROWAK!

          • why havent you asked jiro for one and i personally believe that you should teach your hippowdown slack-off it would help alot and curse too:)

          • I’ve asked Jiro on multiple occanions and he flaked on me for about 3 weeks now
            and I would’ve taught my Hippowdon Slack Off but his Rock Tomb has gotten me out of a lot of jams
            and Curse was too risky

          • Also on a total everyone else fault
            I’ve been just been pitted against my absolute counters
            Literally everyone uses Greninjas and Mega Charizard Ys, and Venusuar
            I’m not a bad battler just keep getting bad match ups

          • yeah to be honest wash rotom help me alot when i battled agaisnt you but i believe a choice scarf garchomp can deal with greninja and char-y and of venusaur claydol laugh at him using light screen and then 2-3ohko venusaur

  52. I can think of the below 3 or 4-type matchup cycles other than the usual starter trio or Psychic, Fighting, Dark. Just in case Nintendo wants to change up the starters. 🙂

    1. Steel -> Fairy -> Fighting ->
    2. Steel -> Rock -> Fire ->
    3. Ground -> Poison -> Grass ->
    4. Flying -> Grass -> Ground -> Electric ->
    IF ONLY FLYING DEALS 2X TO GROUND, THIS WOULD ONLY BE 3 TYPES.
    5. Water -> Ground -> Electric ->
    WATER DOESN’T RESIST GROUND THOUGH.
    6. Grass -> Rock -> Bug/Flying ->

  53. I have to say I like your Dark Team

  54. I’m actually a psychic. Yesterday, I had a passing thought of Nintendo releasing DS games on the Wii U Virtual Console, but quickly dismissed it because it sounded impossible. Old handheld games with terrible quality on an HD home console? Forget it.

    Today, Iwata announced at a private briefing that Nintendo DS games would, in fact, be on the Wii U Virtual Console to highlight the differences of the GamePad.

    I’m a bit weirded out right now, this kind of thing happens frequently for me.

    I’ll be there until my 3DS’ battery goes low. Good news is that it should be a few hours since it’s fully charged.
