  2. Just got back to Iki Town to challenge Kahuna Hala, but the side quest for the letter delivery was quite bittersweet. I was even looking for a young girl and I finally realized it was the old lady.

  4. So what’s everyone’s strategy going into the totem battle? Do you go for the partner pokemon first when its summoned or just go straight for the totem? I just finished Ilimas and had my grubbin out first. One hit the yungoos before i touched T.Gumshoos and then my Litten learned Double Kick so when Gumshoos got to red health i switched my Litten in and won lol

  6. Just got Flynium Z. I guess that scene was supposed to build Kahili’s character somehow. She is someone who will dance in front of a random stranger on top of a hill. I’m still quite sad that she placed so low on the popularity poll.

    • They flubbed her again. Why no flying trial on ten carret hill? Or like a flying challenge where she loans you toucannon and you race by flying through rings in the sky for the flyinium? Literally anything.

      • Toucannon hot-air balloon thingy where there are 2 that lift you up in a basket, since I doubt you’d fit on a Toucannon for a soar-esque game.

        Reply

        • I meant more like you just play as Toucannon, so it’s like you’re giving it commands from the ground, but really you’re doing the flying

  11. I have returned from dinner, take out Sunday baby!!!
    Wings, Pulled Pork Sandwich with Waffle fries

    What are you schmucks doin’

  13. Whelp I’m an idiot. I mismarked the eggs I was trading over to my UM and ended up trading my A. Sandshrew much earlier than I had planned. I ended up trading my Sandile and Stufful over as well because now my entire plan to slowly introduce them is ruined. So now I have almost my entire team with the exception of a certain totem sized Pokemon all before I even step foot into the battle royal. Oh well I guess this at least means I get to spend more time with the Pokemon before they evolve into their final forms. Otherwise they’d just shoot right up and evolve leaving me with little time to get to know them.

  16. Filing another request for the following Ash Cap Pikachu: Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Alola. If you have one you want to give away, I’ll trade you something that isn’t a Route 1 Pokémon!

  17. It’s really interesting that Ultra Sun and Moon (and gen 7 in general with Ash Greninja) are turning what was previously anime non-canon into canon, with first acknowledging the Team Rocket and Mewtwo connection and now even going as far as saying the GS Ball exists within the game universe as well.

  25. Well my life atm

    Doing my English movie poster for the Crucible, while writing the 100 word essay explaining why. Jamming out to my iPod with all my good tunes and also looking for a new school profile picture (What Pokémon do I want to be? Hmm maybe Tropius or Bibarel or maybe I’ll draw a Pokémon I’ve made)

    But yeah this is my life rn, now that I reread it, it sounds sad
