  1. I know I’m spamming but it’s urgent, umm Ithusme did you block me? I hope not because I want to give you a present; my shiny Toucannon. I know how much bad luck you had with getting Pikpek and I want to show my respect for you by giving it. Please take it.

    • If he did block you then he can’t actually read what you just wrote. You could try contacting through the forums or being patient.

      (Failing that, you could always give me the Shiny Toucannon so I can name it “Star’s Worst Nightmare” and threaten to unleash it every time Star makes mean comments about Toucannons.)

        • Last time I checked – you don’t.

          All blocking actually does is hide comments from a particular person so you never actually see them. It doesn’t notify anyone that you’ve done it so there’s no way to know if you’ve been blocked or if they’re just choosing to ignore you.

          That’s why I suggested the forums though, the forums don’t use Disqus so the blocking wouldn’t apply on the forums.

    • last time I checked Ithsme doesnt really like shinies that he doesnt obtain himself, he turned down every one someone wanted to trade to him, tbh I’m the same, if I didn’t get it myself its not very special

    • Oh! No, I didn’t block you! I’ve just been at my aunt’s for a while, I just popped by earlier to tell of my conquests. I really really appriciate the gift, but please keep it for yourself! I’ve got my own shiny Pikipek to train up, so I’d feel bad taking yours. It means a lot to me that you’d offer though, thank you so much for the offer! 🙂

      • Oh thank gosh! Oh and alright if you don’t want it, and I’m super relieved you haven’t. I”m glad finally things are returning to normal. 🙂

  2. It’s taken me until now to realise, but it’s suddenly occurred to me that the last christmas I genuinely remember enjoying was a decade ago.

    (In fairness I suppose 2009 wasn’t too bad, but the year itself was pretty awful so it didn’t really balance out.)

  3. All I want for Christmas is a shiny Ratatta. I’m 330 encounters in. No shiny charm, and have a unrelenting Smeargle at my service. Today is the day I want it!! lol

  5. Somehow my parents got a hold of an NES Classic for me, so I’m really happy! I also got The Last Guardian, some Amazon money, a certificate to my favorite retro game store and some (actually really nice) clothes. It isn’t quite over yet either. Merry Christmas everyone!

      • From what I heard it depends on the person. Certain people have certain expectations. Not everyone is gonna like it or hate it for the same reasons

          • Yes but most of them are standalone titles. So you dont have to play the other games to understand whats going on in XV

          • I guess you’re right then, but the story is lacking because they had to remove some cutscenes before release that they are adding later in the game. I mean, if the game gets those extra cutscene the plot could become very good

        • Personally I like the story when looking at it as a whole, though yeah its not fully there. Important details are easily missed, there are some mistranlations from Japanese, especially when it comes to talking about Propto’s family, and certain characters are kinda underdeveloped, though some of them are kinda better for being underdeveloped.

          Though without question the villain is one of if not the best in the series. He’s lovable, interesting, unique, and honestly might be one of the few FF villains who actually succeeds at what he wants to do.

          • I agree, Ardyn is awesome, one of the best FF characters out there, i also liked Noctis, i found him very well developed.
            But one thing i really like about the game is the music, many of the tracks are really good and remarquable making this game OST one of the best in the series.

    • I got it too….Only there’s two problems…First being that my TV was taken from me as my downstairs one died so for now mine is for family use. Second one is that my mom got me the UK version of FF. Gonna return it and get the US version. Probably won’t matter much, but it’s something I gotta do lol

      • I am. the combat is really satisfying and it helps me to get into Kingdom Hearts 3 combat system, which will be roughly the same according to Tetsuya Nomura

  6. So while everyone’s sharing their Christmas loot, I”m kinda holding off on it for now. So far my highlights have been a pair of custom Ray-Ban shades, the FF14 Duality Album(which kinda sucks, but has some really good piano covers and Shiva’s theme brings me to near tears), and Pokemon Monopoly: Jhoto edition.

  7. So I’m faced a conundrum
    I SHOULD level up my Araquanid, Lycanroc and Hakamo-o but I feel like playing a link between worlds
    But I haven’t taken Sun out ever

  8. I honestly hope that they add the following Pokemon to the next Smash game:

    – Tsareena
    – Komala
    – Fo-NO! Lurantis
    – Cosmog
    – Alolan Raichu

      • I feel like they’d do either random or popular ones so as harmful it is to say, Rowlet’s one is making in for sure.

        Reply
    • Hmmmm those seem hyper unlikely but hmmmmmm
      Decidueye seems possible
      B: Spirit Shackle a two button charge shot that anchors the opponent
      Side B: either Leaf Blade kinda a dancing blade kinda attack or U-Turn where it lunges forward and bounces back in
      Up B: Brave Bird: where it soars upward then if you press again you dive bomb down
      Down B: Sucker Punch: typical counter, you activate it right before you get hit and Decidueye slashes back

      And finally Final Smash: Sinister Arrow Raid: Closes in on a group of opponents, it locks them down and rains down a storm of arrows

  9. Whelp a chain of 457 and still no shiny Rattata. On top of that I made the dumb mistake of leaving home with my 3ds without checking the battery so it is now dead. Oh well at least it’s good practice and once I get my shiny charm I’ll be a shiny hunting champion. Might start again tonight to see if I can try and find a shiny Ratatta, but who knows lol Anyway MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

    • I completely feel with you. I’d mention why but yo know, I’d be under fire for mentioning the name that mustn’t be mentioned.

  10. Also what did you guys and gals get for Christmas? I got a few geodes and crystals to add to my collection and some clothes mostly hoodies.

      • Nice and thank you for reminding me to get head phones lol. Also to anyone who has a puppy or dog don’t leave chewable things like headphones and 3ds around I learned the hard way.

    • New wallet that I desperately needed, a screwdriver to unlock my (shared) bathroom door at uni when my roommates lock me out, and a calendar.
      You know you’re old when…
