  1. What is it with Netflix and kicking out actors for sexual harrassment lately? First Kevin Spacey and now Danny Masterson from The Ranch

  3. @josh_omega:disqus I managed to find a foreign Misdreavus male in gen 6 that I could breed Perish Song onto Chimecho so I no longer need help, thank you very much for offering though 🙂 Hopefully this means you can get the rest you need too.

  9. Ice Floe Ravine
    Description: It is considered to be one of the most beautiful landscapes in the entire Pokemon world. It is the largest expanse of untouched land within the Incrum region for sure. Frigid waterfalls marvelously rush down to the bottom of the ravine, marvelously creating a rainbow color when it makes contact with ice. Despite this, it is among the most dangerous areas in the entire region. These features make it a commonly visited spot among poets, artists, thrill-seekers, and Pokemon trainers.

  12. Guys I think I have an amazing Plot Idea for a Pokemon game (somewhat unconventional but can be seen as game-changing), but I need help to figure out the details. Anyone want to help put it together?
