  1. Well, Remember me

    There is a bear around my Neighborhood and I gotta walk to School
    If I’m not back by 1-3:30 then I probably made a bear very happy

  2. I kind of hate those “Favorite of Each Type” things because mine always skips out on Flygon, a pokemon I love. I love Marowak and Latias too, dangit.

  4. The best part about using every single Pokemon ingame is the experience of using a mon you typically consider exp fodder and realizing “holy hell it’s actually really cool!”

  12. The next few anime episodes didn’t copypaste this from 4Chan I swear

    SM62 – The Dark Nyarth is an Alola Nyarth!? (Feb 15)
    >Musashi has ended up eating the ice cream Nyarth was saving. Nyarth storms out of the secret base in anger and sorrow. He then happens upon a Nyarth from the Alola region. Musashi and Kojiro suggest making the Alolan Nyarth their partner since it’s so sharp, but Nyarth is vehemently against it.

    SM63 – Burn with Passion, Nyabby! Down with Gaogaen!! (Feb 22)
    >Satoshi got really excited when he watched a “Battle Royal”, the Alola region’s traditional four-way battle, on TV. He goes to the venue, wanting to participate in one himself, and goes up against the masked Trainer Royal Mask, who prides himself on being undefeated, with his Nyabby!

    SM64 – Satoshi and Nagetukesaru! A Touchdown of Friendship!! (Mar 1)
    >Satoshi had gone to the marketplace to shop when he ran into a group of the “Teamwork Pokémon” Nagetukesaru. It appears that groups of Nagetukesaru living on different islands have started arguing, and are now fighting over who will be the boss of all the flocks. The group Satoshi met lives on one of the islands that lost, and when he looks at them, he feels he can’t just ignore them, so he does his best to cheer them on.

    SM65 – Ilima and Eievui Have Ilimade Their Entrance!! (Mar 8)
    >Satoshi and his friends were doing battle practice at the Pokémon School when the graduate student Ilima came visiting. Mao and the others know who he is, and explain that he is the greatest prodigy that has ever attended the school, one that left behind numerous legends of his prowess. Satoshi and the others go to see Ilima and check if the legends are true, but…

  13. Hypothetical: Pokemon are real, but you can only use Pokemon based on animals found in your state (if you’re American) or country (if you’re not). Which Pokemon do you use, which is your ace, and which is your starter?

  15. Earthen boooored…….i feel the need to work on some of my more obscure fakemons

    a pure ghost eyeball Necrocular but i don’t know what kind of direction to go in

    Reply

  16. I f@cking haaaaaaate Bugsy. He’s such a freaking troll….Sending out two Pokemon that don’t do anything and then he sends out Scyther and it completely destroys your team despite being on equal levels…….

    Reply

  18. ok either this is a glitch or bullshite

    I used Giga Drain on a Zebstrika as it used bounce and Sap Sipper still activated

    Reply

  22. Ok I think I’m legit depressed now…

    First when I got to school there was a hoard of people with their phones out. Turns a Unown despawned there 3 minutes before I arrived

    Then my crush started completely ignoring me and talking about me behind my back

    Also turns out I have a math test tomorrow out of nowhere

    Finally the kids with lockers next to mine called me some of the worst sh!t I’ve ever heard

    At least I can bury my sorrows In some Fakemon… Any ideas?

    Reply

    • Ok that first one just sucks. I have been hunting Unknown for months too with no luck

      Now that… Honestly if they are gonna be like that, then I wouldn’t bother with them or even want to be near them (I’ve had that before, it’s never fun knowing others talk sh*t about you)

      That’s the type of way I feel half the time at school. It’s like running into Zubat, it’s unexpected, hard af to get around, and no one wants it

      This one… I kinda want to come there and teach them a lesson for that. It’s things like that that make me dislike people

      Hmm you could make an Grass/Electric Hummingbird based around photosynthesis turning to energy

    • I don’t know what they are calling you but is there anyone you can report them to? You shouldn’t have to put up with it if it’s really offensive. It’s likely their low IQ response to feeling threatened by you in some way.

    • Kids are cruel…..People that say high school and middle school are the best years of your life are either A) lying through their teeth or B) the assholes that cause others problems. It’ll get better friend. Trust me when I say that.

    • Holy hell my dude, you had it rough today huh?
      Well regardless, you can basically call us a family to ya now. We’re here for ya and we’ll help keep you above water, kay?

    • My god that’s awful Valoroo. So sorry to hear about that…

      Some advice that I can give to you is, if all this is going on, I’d just start taking walks after school. Like after you get home, just take some peaceful strolls around your neighborhood, or, if your neighborhood’s got a park, walk around there. Typically, I just let go of anything that bothers me and instead think about creative thoughts, like some Fakemon thoughts or just reflect on accomplishments that I’ve been able to do today. That’s what I do whenever something bothers me, and it really helps out dude.

    • Some advice don’t worry what other people think of you. And if someone would turn on you for liking Pokémon they aren’t true friends. Not sure how old you are but trust me it does get better!
