First comment
Cool merch
And also do we know anything about when USUM will be compatible with Pokemon Bank?
probably first day and you want a medal for being first?
I want a bronze for being 3rd.
Ribbon for fourth
Crude certificate on loose leaf for fifth
Yes
Can I get a participation trophy for writing the post? ?
yes
Ultra Instinct Shaggy, best video ever
I’m sick of these quiet days, my brain is going to mush from lack of intellectual conversation and stimulation (granted that’s from a number of things)
But other than that I need to wait for the websites to update the Mario odyssey guides for later levels to help find the last stragglers
Me too
Hate to say it, and I’m sure you already know, but once USUM releases we’re going to have quite the Pokémon news drought for a good couple of months. Earliest until January/February 2018.
I mean, we’re getting interviews about Pokemon Switch every now and then
*Whimpers*
That white rowlett thingy. Totally adorable
Itsa snowball
Wait no, it’s a pastry they make for New Years often accompanied with tangerines
I got my Shiny Silvally downloaded. Pretty much done with SM. I guess I could do a quick check to see if I have all the megastones. they NEED to make bank allow items. It’s going to e so frustrating trading over all the SM exclusive items or just items in general.
+ Pokemon merch looks amazing, I might just make a room in my house pokemon only. They all look so great.
I hope more switch games come out around the start of 2018

Now I’m actually done with Odyssey (in terms of the final level), but that secret ending still remains. Who knows if I’m insane enough to do that though. Basically, it’ll be coasting through from now on. For anyone in post-game, I really do recommend that you push a little more because it’s worth seeing through…
I’m working my way up I just finished cap and cascade kingdom 100% and I’m almost finished with Sand Kingdom with only 3 moons left and 6 coins
414 moons in total
Sounds good! My method will be going from the kingdoms with the smallest total Moon count and working up to the largest. I won’t say which those are because it’s a spoiler. I’m at 531 moons now, and I don’t know if I’ll play any more today (although I’ll probably make time). It’s so hard not to talk about the game in its entirety, I can’t wait until I can!
Siiiiiigh I feel like I’m dead last in the odyssey race
Some kingdoms I barely touched and only have as much as 12 moons
I don’t even have the game so you’re not. Also why is it a race? As long as you’re enjoying it does it matter?
How would you feel that everyone is ahead of you progress wise
I try to live in a bubble so I don’t care as long as I’m having fun. F the rest.
Couldn’t really care less when it comes to games, it’s my own enjoyment and experience of the game that makes it worthwhile to me.
Wait, how do you 100% those so easily? I already had trouble finding the remaining 50%…
Do you have to 100% it to get secret ending?
Yeah, apparently you have to max out your Moon count, which is a ridiculous task.
When GameFreak makes you do a HM puzzle and it’s not even a TM at the end https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5f50e302fed0c7627887dd2b5caa5a4d50df61885d8af97331d1747d3c72b5ba.gif
Ice Puzzles are the worst imo.
Every Ice Gym is the worst because of that fact
That gif is my reaction to that gif
Yay, more adorable rowlet merch and more hideous popplio merch. They seriously don’t know what to do with that thing. Bitch looks like a kite with its arms spread out like that.
*****And that Moon figurine with the starters looks like it has a cameltoe lmaooooo
Time to acknowledge the article! I really like that Lapras plush, its well designed and seems pretty large. I’d own that any day!
Even though that Pyukumuku plush probably doesn’t make its’ awesome sound and doesn’t puke out its’ innards I still want it.
I think the Shiny Silvally event starts Friday here so I’ll have to wait until at least the following week.
So, today was eventful (at least, in terms of Persona 5)

I spent almost all my time this weekend playing Persona 5
I hear nothing but good things about that game. When I’m done with Mario and the Evil Within 2 I might pick it up.
I’m on my fourth run and have over 300 hours on the game XD
That’s why I’m waiting to get it I need to make sure I have time to devote to a game like that.

me @ myself for spending money when i should be saving for usum
Same
The white Rowlet is so precious 0_0
Also I’m adding a Piloswine to my Black 2 team, any nickname suggestions?
Manny
I would use this, but it’s very similar to my Conkeldurr’s name
Tusk, Icevory, Trunkless, Snout, Stomp, Shaggy, Mammothpig.
Thanks
I know they are terrible. Snuffleupagus/Snuffy is the only other I can think of rn.
I ultimately decided on Icevory as the name, but they all are fine nicknames

You’ll be happy to know, that I’m asking for Cuphead for Christmas
Whew, short weekend. I really wish I would’ve had more time to dedicate to Odyssey, since it’s sooooo amazing, but unfortunately it had to take the back burner this weekend to school projects and stress. I’m only at the 4th kingdom, but I have about 90 moons, and I’m having a blast. What a great year the Switch is having.
You have a lot of incredible things coming your way! I hope you will be able to appreciate it as much as I have this weekend. Throughout my adventure I felt like a little kid again…I actually laughed, nearly cried, and gasped more than once. The last time I did that was with, well, Breath of the Wild. For a while I wondered, how can Nintendo possibly expand on Super Mario Galaxy in a meaningful way? It must be impossible! But in my opinion, the impossible is what Nintendo does now in a post-2017 world. Now I’m REALLY stumped as to what they can do next…but they will do it! I look forward to hearing your final thoughts……….
Hi my friends! I have returned! Just another time consuming eventful day
Watching Halloween movies, carving my pumpkins, getting my Oshawott costume together (I did nothing, I need to go out tomorrow on my mom’s birthday to make it), finally got my Carmel Apple cookies done (They are burnt, but delicious), making my bed and thinking of new Pokémon ideas
I think my Dew Pokémon will draw some interest because its going to have an interesting ability and set up (Its a 3 stage one and its going to be tough)
Happy to hear you’re getting in the spirit of the holiday! Honestly I haven’t taken Halloween seriously for quite a while, even though it’s an awesome holiday. I’ll definitely watch Nightmare Before Christmas on Halloween night, which has been a tradition of mine for a long time.
Same, it’s such a good movie and the fact it combines two of the most popular holidays (Many would qualify it as a Halloween movie, but I deem it both Halloween and Christmas)
I tend to watch it around christmas since it’s usually on TV then. Last year I saw it in the cinema for the first time (though it was in converted 3D). It’s one of my favourite movies.
Good taste. It’s on Netflix (which I use frequently these days), so I’m planning on watching it there. Something about this movie brings me back to my childhood!
I’ll have to see if it’s on Netflix here, though I might just wait until christmas. It’s such a shining example of a good holiday movie and it works for 2.
I’ll probably watch a halloween movie, if Hocus Pocus, Casper, The Addams Family or Ghostbusters are on I’ll watch those, if not I’ll probably watch Frankenweenie. I did watch The Black Cauldron yesterday which kind of fits. I doubt I’ll watch an actual horror movie.
I just finished Stranger Things 2, concluding what will go down as THE most legendary pop culture weekend of my lifetime, by FAR. I’ll be honest, it took a while for it to pick up steam for me (giving me more of a reason to rewatch it next year), but it definitely delivered by the end. Made me feel just as warm, if not warmer, than the first season. Bring on Stranger Things 3, and Super Mario Odyssey 2, and everything. As always, I have to be Mr. Dramatic and say that both of these things combined have made me feel like life has so much more possibility and creativity than I thought…and it gives me real hope that I was missing. It feels like the end of a good dream. Thank you Nintendo, thank you Duffer Brothers, and good night to all. Back to my regularly scheduled programming. And USUM hype, of course.
Warning: spoilers from stranger things 2 I loved Eleven’s character development. Even though the Kali episode was a bit cliche X-men, i teared up in the El and Mike reunion scene :’) And the scene where she closed the gate in the finale was pure epic.
ST2 definitely had a slow start but really picked up after episode 4ish. I must say that the later episodes really tugged at my heart strings lol
Episode 6 was where I really remember laughing out loud and enjoying it a lot. The next three episodes kept up the pace really well.
So I just found out I have the Friday USUM comes out off
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9de8cdc927440376858d2f9c600b3474aed20ff1dc59ee65515b73fc5d94b8b6.gif
My bitch job doesn’t give me Friday’s anymore and I already have my chips and refreshments stored in my closet for the big day,
I just had a thought what if USUM doesn’t let us trade Pokemon until the end?
I honestly doubt that, no Pokémon game has done that before. Don’t think you have much to worry about! :p
I might buy some small snacks, some nuts and fruits to be good to myself, my trust water battle, and a crap ton of ice cream to cry into about how sad I am staying up all night I play ;p
I doubt that would happen (I already hate Colloseum for that as I want to battle LG v.s. Emerald, but need to beat Colloseum to be able two cause I don’t have the stupid adapter or a second Game boy)
And I’m going on a week long vacation in a beach side hotel in Turkey the day after USUM comes out
Kk
You forgot the third one
I am flying back home on Saturday, so I most likely won’t get to play until late Saturday. But I pretty much have a week long vacation aside from one interview that I am confirmed to have.
At least you’ll get back home! That’s something to be excited about ?
I have the Friday before that off…very convenient.
20 moons and 18 purple coins then I never have to come back to the wooded kingdom ever again
Do you think USUM will have any surprise mons/forms?
I’d say no because they don’t do that in third versions but seeing how we’re getting new UB’s maybe we’ll get another one by surprise
18th place goes to Mina. Which is very surprising. I could have swore you guys loved Mina. Oh well shes gone now. She didnt really have a role in SM, so that’s ok with me. I honestly dont even know her character. She lad those lazy eyes, so I thought she was the lazy but strong/smart archetype, but didnt even have a totem and she was always out and about. I dont even know why she gave the fairium Z crystal. Weird character

Vote for Least favorite 3 as usual!
Star did, not sure about anyone else, but I sorta liked her
The days when I have been correct in my predictions have long passed.
Can’t say I really like anything about her
Wondering if that line in her shorts was necessary ?
Those models are unbelievably accurate tho ?
I almost want them.. and I Never buy this stuff
Omg I know! It looks like she’s got a cameltoe because of it
