  2. I might actually buy that Pikachu clear mug. I need a new special cup for my drinking needs so that could help fill the void. Really tempted by the hoodie too.

  3. I really like the design of that Marshadow jacket but I still think I prefer the Ho-oh and Lugia mosaic. I have to get around to buying that.

  11. 5 more days left until Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Can’t wait. Playing Super Mario Odyssey in the meantime to keep busy. I got 556 Power Moons and I’m currently going through all the Kingdoms in order. I’m at the Metro Kingdom now. Love that Kingdom so much!

  13. Ok this is down right a d*ck move on their part for Sylveon

    Once a fight breaks out, it will unflinchingly charge at dragon Pokémon that are many times larger than itself.

    So does that mean when fighting a non Dragon type, it will literally run and find one just to beat the sh*t out of it?! Wow is that a d*ck move

  16. I’ve completed 4 kingdoms in Mario Odyssey today .-.

    So far I have 489 Moons

    Wooded Kingdom, Lake Kingdom, Cloud Kingdom, and Lost Kingdom are all 100% completed. I have also 100% completed Cap Kingdom, Cascade Kingdom, Sand Kingdom and the Ruined Kingdom. 😀

    • I mean… I would be.. if my 3DS didn’t need a new charger.. and I think it may have water damage :///
      I’m ready for it on switch

      Reply

    • Me! Even though the leaks confirmed our fears, I’m excited to experience the new stuff. I know it isn’t as big as last year, but it’ll still be fun to lose myself into Alola once more.

      Reply

    • I’ll say this: I’m mildly anticipating it. There are things I want to try out, like the ultra wormhole stuff, but if I’m being honest I’m already over gen 7 lol

      Reply

      • I’ll admit, it’s a little disheartening to see that so many people are mostly dismissing it when it’s like 5 days away. This is when hype should be at its highest, but it seems everyone has their own problem with the game, me included. I just wish the community as a whole would start focusing on the new fun stuff rather than stomped dreams.

        I’ll admit, I’m guilty, but I’m trying to be more of an optimist.

        • Said it once, I’ll say it a million times: BRING BACK THE BATTLE FRONTIER! Seriously you have no idea how I and probably many other people would be more hyped for this game if they just *listened*

          And not halfway. We want the whole frontier, not just the tower and the factory. All well, baby steps, baby steps. I’m not really mad about it at this point. After ORAS completely shat on us in regards to it, I’ve had no hope for its return.

          Reply

          • Hey, you’re preaching to the choir. I’ve been down that road many times.

            And I’m not saying that we need to be happy with what it is and shut up about it, but I think it’d benefit if we just appreciated the fact that we actually have the factory back, or that move tutors or back, etc. It seems that we’ll never get another HGSS, but I just want to enjoy it for what it is now. We can complain later, plenty of time for that in the forseen drought year.

          • Oh, for sure. My attitude towards these games has changed quite a lot. I still have problems with them of course, but I also want to experience them first hand now and really detail out my criticisms and praises for their choice to make a third version instead of a sequel.

          • That’s a good way to think about it. Maybe the leaks were for the best, that way people could have time to sort out initial dissapointment and appreciate the games for what they are, not for what they had expected.

            Besides, I’ve only read the leaks, I have yet to see much of the stuff in action (other than the new pokes).

    • I’m hyped, but I feel that life is speeding up too fast and I can’t catch a slow spot

      Like I remember when the 17th was still 2 weeks away, I feel like that was two days ago and I feel like I just saw “I choose you” yesterday when it was last week

  18. I take back all I said about Mario Kart 8.. addictive.. it’s Zelda that’s gonna take some warming up to… I miss knowing what to do ? at start.. at Temple.. now wuh

  24. Really stupid question regarding Island Scan: I don’t have to have the game completed to use it, correct? I’m only asking because i never used it until i beat the game in Moon.
