  7. Man, I’ve been playing Dragon Ball Fusions a lot recently. It’s a cool game. It’s not what I expected (fusing any 2 characters together, though, you can sort of do that with the MC), but I don’t care. It’s a good 3DS game

  8. I’m kinda late, but the eclipse was really cool. Even though it was only like 1 1/2 mins of complete eclipse, it was enough time for an owl to come out where I was, which was pretty neat. Shame GF didn’t announce something for the occasion, but I can definitely understand why they didn’t, with it being a fairly local event and all.

      • I was going to but I wasn’t able because my brother couldn’t transfer his Challenge mode Key due to him leaving his game at the 7th game. I found it out after I restarted my game so oh well. But it’s still pretty fun and a little bit challenging for me because I have to grind up 6 Pokémon early on.

  16. Well today didn’t go exactly as I wanted it to go. Was planning on waking up early and making the most out of being more or less alone today at home since it was my last day off before going back to work, but that’s not how it went….Was gonna get up early anyway, but right as I did get up I received a message from my brother who’s landlord apparently told him their bathroom floor was gonna get fixed despite my brother and his wife being out of town. so I said I’d go hangout in their apartment while the guy was there fixing the tile. Unfortunately they didn’t have the tile necessary to just replace it so not only did they need to rip up the part that needed to be fixed, but then they needed to place new flooring in. they didn’t even finish today and we were there for 6 and a half hours. If the guy had stayed an hour or so more he prolly would have finished. Now I’ve got to go back and unlock the apartment so they can get in again. Luckily one of our friends is gonna go over and stay there so I can leave and go to work. So much for having a relaxing day. On the bright side I finished the first volume of Pokemon Adventures!! My friends seem to think I should review it on my channel. I’ll have to think about that tho lol

  19. One last thing: So should I keep Krokorok on my team or replace it with Zorua? Or just have some other Pokémon be the 6th slot.

  23. Hey people, haven’t been on here in awhile.

    Excited for the new games, interested to see how different they are to Sun and Moon tho.

    I start school on Wednesday so, yaaaaa…. Junior year is here and it’s weird.

  24. I hope many of you PokeJunglers were able to experience the solar eclipse today! It was sadly a cloudy day in the Bay Area, but that didn’t stop me from getting some decent photos. It also got COLD and super bright around the time of totality…really amazing. I’m currently biding my time until I inevitably go completely blind. Seriously though, I just watched a fearmongering video about the possibility of permanent eye damage. If that happens I’ll be a little bit upset.

    • Hey now gotta play what comes in the video close to the chest. Even when you don’t get anything super great that’s still fine. I’ve learned that as long as you try to continue to have a charismatic personality and optimistic view people will still be satisfied. What people watch pack opening videos for is the same reason people buy packs to begin with. It’s that adrenaline rush you get. So as a tiny bit of advice whether you get something or not never let on fully what kind of video it is. If it’s a video that has something good then sure you can hype it up, but never give your viewers a reason to not want to watch. Just some friendly advice from someone who’s been doing these kinds of videos for a little while. OH!!! By the way thanks for the sub the other day! I noticed after you checked it out, but forgot to say thanks haha
