REALLY slow, but expectedly so, week because of the year wrapping up and the holidays fast approaching
I want those Pokeballs and I want that Typhlosion plush so bad!!!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! Sadly I haven’t really been in the Christmas spirit this year, much like last year, but it’s already Christmas Eve so there isn’t much I can do about it now! Still, I’m crossing my fingers for a new PSVR so I can prepare to make my “Dreams” a reality in 2018!
GUYS
I GOT MY SWITCH
AND IT’S AWESOME
But… I have a problem, my Switch won’t well, Switch. I mean, It’s docked, the dock is plugged to the Tv, but the Switch is still on handheld mode. Any of you had this problem?
Make sure it’s plugged into the power outlet
Yeah, that fixed it, thx
Make sure it’s docked correctly
Cocktail hour at my Aunts and my family and relatives are pounding the drinks and whoredervs
Meanwhile me and my fever stricken brother are chilling in the den
Gotta say it’s perfect, I’m a low key kinda guy
I love Odyssey so far, even tho I die a lot
Dieing a lot? Lol you’re still probably in cappy/dinosaur kingdom aka the easy part 😛
In the desert kingdom
Already? Wow you probably make speed runners jealous :p
That’s sarcasm, right?…
How long have you been playing that game? People usually spend 50 minutes or more on those kingdoms from what I’ve seen
Around 4 hours lol. I’m just having fun and searching for secrets now, not really doing the main story.
It’s best with the joycons detached :3
I’m playing with my Pro Controller and really fun
Ah yeah that’s good too! What other games did you get?
Splatoon 2. I plan to get BotW in January!
Nice! I don’t know what I would do if I had BOTW and Odyssey at the same time lol
That game is so freaking amazing. Same with BOTW!
Huh? So Professor Rowan’s partner is Buneary. Interesting
Well this was the best Christmas in a long time. Was nice seeing my family again after not seeing them the past two Christmas. Although I feel sort of guilty not doing that since my moms mom is now in nursing home with dementia :/ hate seeing her like that but she’s still healthy and it was definitely nice to see her today. And is it bad I just messaged my cousins boyfriend telling him if he ever hurts her that I will hunt him down like Daryl Dixon ? XD anyway hope everyone’s having a great Christmas/holidays right now!
I’m having a great SWITCHmas!
My nieces will be having a good one tomorrow! They getting a switch lol I have known for like a month now so that’s pretty entertaining for me
Oh these pokeballs look stylish as heck, like them ??
Merry Christmas btw :0
The Giovanni nenderoid is cool, but does it come with anything else?
Blorg Christmas Eve feasting I feel like bursting
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pu-679102166 Utter crap
Fool… Even if running Farfetch’d you always give it First Impression
It’s a risk to run it in general, but you always give it that move
Merry Christmas everyone even though right now nothing really eventual happened for Christmas for me!
So what do you guys believe… That every starter will get a mega form or nope?
It seems each remake so far.. though not that many.. the starters got megas.
So are Infernape, Empoleon, and Torterra next?
Why shouldn’t they?
?
I hope they all get Megas eventually. It’s only fair
Half an hour till midnight, won’t be on tomorrow and maybe boxing day so far feliz navidad my little dumplings
Well going to Church for Christmas so I’ll just say Goodnight, Good Fortune and Merry Christmas!
DAMN 6575 Light Years but I stupidly didn’t snap a pic
I had 6843 last week
Sometimes I would think that Chickens would make for great friends, but then I realized that this would be a problem. (Read from right to left).

What have i just read on Bulba forums? Gen 8 rumors/leaks:
-The localization team have finished the games script
-all gen 8 mons have names and are currently being trademarked
-more simplistic battle system
-The game, while being mainline has more of a Pokken or DW feel
-Z moves return, you use joy cons to unleash them
-no new megas
-theme of the game is about conflict between innovation and tradition
Idk how I would feel about z moves returning. Not that I hate them I just prefer megas. That’s if this is even true
Eh i like both concepts, cant really say that i have a set preference.
I don’t hate z moves just prefer Megas. That said if this is real somehow maybe Megas will only be in remakes in the future. Personally I think they will introduce a new gimmick in gen 8. Gen 6 we got megas. Gen 7 z moves. Gen 8 hybrids???? That’s the only thing I can think of honestly. Guess we may see next year what the switch game is. I personally believe it will be officially revealed at e3. The main question is does it release in 2018 or 2019 ?
All of this is just parroting what that guy said already in leaks who turned out to be fake
What? They were literally posted today by Lavandula a.k.a Jynx Club a.k.a the Chinese guy who has an in at GF?
No I mean the guy who posted the starter animals. He said all this stuff and then tried to claim that Pokémon Plus and Minus was a thing
Oh you mean that Gekkouga guy on twitter?
I think that’s his name? I’m not sure 100%
That guy was apparently reading things off Bulba so this can still be real considering he himself was a parrot
Ehh
Idk man
I think it’s too early for leaks
Oh great….I liked S/M but i really wished they’d leave behind the theme of tradition….welp, sucks there’s not going to be new megas.
It probably isn’t real
I hope it isn’t.
Its just a rumor
I hope it’s false.
Half hour early but…
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Soon, Cuphead, sooon…
Merry Christmas! It’s time for my attached yearly christmas gift! May Santa treat you all well and not rough ya up too much! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/29f41c1f61a69f5d0f0879076b40a174331f63213f91143f3cec93b668234dfc.png
I’m seriously convinced that there is some Diamond Pearl thing coming our way – I mean first the TCG releases a whole expansion set dedicated to Sinnoh Pokemon and trainers, and now this new merch with all the gym leaders + E4 just cinches this for me
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope y’all have a happy holiday today and enjoy the wonderful gifts you get!
Merry Christmas everyone! Have a wonderful day!
I am so happy I got a white-orange New 2DS XL for X-Mas! It looks way cooler and much more fun to use than my old 2DS. I think I deserve it, considering I’m paying blood and bone to Pheramosa, right?
Anyone here beat USUM? I kinda need help teaching my Lycanroc Acelerock via move relearner. If anyone can my 3DS FC is 5284 1513 0064. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I did. And what do you mean by help?
I want to teach my Dusk Lycanroc Accelerock, but its locked to end game by move relearner. Mind helping me relearn it?
I would but I can’t leave my area as I’m trying to get a shiny, sorry 😛
Aww well, if you are free or can it would be much apprecitated however. Cheers then mate!

Wow, it’s so much better shiny hunting on my brand new orange-white 2DS XL! Sorry for bragging but it’s so great and finally i can enjoy SRing!
Not even 10AM and my Puggy chipped her nail….and if anyone isn’t familiar with dog nails they hold blood vessels and bleed…..a lot
