  4. Well I’m bored and bummed out again this day hasn’t been good in any way, my mother is tearing the house apart attempting to clean and organize and that translates into a big mess and still no Celebi I feel there’s no point trying so hard

  8. So apparently an actor called Yudai Chiba is gonna be on Pokenchi next Sunday. I bet we get a movie trailer and I bet he plays Zeraora

  14. So should I use a Rotom in Omicron? I dunno because it would be really nice to have, but I just beat the 2nd gym and caught this thing, and I can already change its forms, so having Hydro Pump/Leaf Storm/etc. would seem like overkill. Have never used this thing in game before though.

  17. Can it be June already? I need the KH3 release date i’m actually struggling to complete minor errands during the day because its constantly on my mind

  20. Let’s hope that a Direct is announced tomorrow, I doubt it though. I think they’ll either do a Direct to tie in with Bayonetta or instead shove it somewhere between Bayonetta and Kirby. No way they’ll wait longer than March 16.

    • Whe my two best friends and I were addicted to it (Wild World) in middle school and would visit each others town on the regular. And they would steal my flowers >:I

    • There was one New Years Eve at least a decade ago where we had family and friends over but I insisted on playing Wild World or City Folk (can’t remember) and watch the countdown there instead of with family. A couple of those kids continued to give me sh*t years later, but I just wanted to experience an Animal Crossing New Years.

    • It’s not a vivid memory, but I remember playing AC on the GameCube on xmas eve. That was really special for some reason.

  24. An interesting image showing how Spike Chunsoft is one of the few partners to not have announced a Switch game. They just so happen to be the developers of the Mystery Dungeon games, and the last one was in 2015. I still believe we’ll get that game this year and then Gen 8 in March or something like that. http://i.4cdn.org/v/1518484449234m.jpg

  25. I think out of all the 3rd legendary forms Dawn Wings Necrozma is my favorite. I like Lunala a ton so it with Necrozma is pretty baller.
