Pokémon GO’s 2018 Valentine’s Day event has finally been revealed!
To go along with the Generation III take over that’s currently happening in GO, from now until February 15th Luvdisc and Chansey will have increased spawns, and each one caught will reward you 3x Stardust! In addition, reports of Shiny Luvdisc in game are starting to pour in!
Sounds like a good time to get out and GO farm Stardust!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What regional delicacy (Rage Candy Bar, Lava Cookie, etc.) would you want to receive as a Valentine?

2018 LOOKIN ALRIGHT
Rip Skyanders
Yay for Spyro coming back!!!
As much as I am excited for this, where’s my PS4 Sly Cooper Trilogy?
That’s nice. Too bad I haven’t had a playstation since PS2
This is making me want to replay my Spyro games on my PS3 lol would love if it eventually comes to switch same with the crash trilogy. If not I can buy a ps4 eventually
They never will, friendo
I can dream! 😂
That you can, that you can
what if i told you Crash is rumored to come to the switch
That’s why I mentioned it actually. I am not getting my hopes up but if it happens I will do a freaking happy dance lol
it was said by the company who does the advertising rights for Crash in europe
Still going to keep my hopes low because I really don’t want to be disappointed! I really hope it happens though! Those games were a huge part of my childhood and helped get me into gaming! And I know it’s way too much to ask but I want a new Tomba game
Well, that would be pretty cool
Well gonna give my crush a little Valentine’s treat
Will go one of 3 ways
-She will come out and tell me she doesn’t like me and wants me to not bother her, despite me doing nothing (for the first time in my life I actually have done nothing wrong and couldn’t have)
-She politely says thank you and gives me a smile that will give me a good day, even though nothing big happened
-(Next to impossible knowing me) they want to be better friends with me and it might bloom into a more fruitful relationship… if this ones happens I’ll legit probably have a heart attack because it has never happened or come close
Is this the same person that was talking about you behind your back? If so i wouldn’t even bother and move on to greener pastures.
Oh that was Valoroo
I have actually kept this girl secret from basically all, but 2 of my friends (One I told the other one figured it out)
Oh okay… well I wish you the best of luck! Go get her tiger!
Thanks I feel the middle one will be the true Destiny of me
I will probably fail eventually, but always look towards the positive future a I right?
No matter what happens it will be an experience and as long as you glean something of worth from it I’d count that as a win.
That’s true
Better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all
That was me ;(
this is some soap opera stuff going on right here
You’re lucky you get to see your crush regularly for more than… once a week -.-
I think if I couldn’t see them more than once a week I would eventually just need to stay in touch another way
Sorry about that D: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/21346bdb9dea6e0decae1f84922c120aa65ef95e73439e6c02621baa7f675c84.gif
well i text her sometimes but i suck at it
i haven’t seen mine in………..6-7 years
I say just hit her over the head with a shovel before she can break your sweet little heart
You’re like one of the kindest people on this site, so I highly doubt she’d get angry or annoyed like what you said on the first way because you’re giving her a Valentine’s treat.
True. Though last year I asked a girl if she’d consider us friends…
She straight up said she does know me well and doesn’t want to and told me to leave her alone… I acted calm at first then lost it later on
You’ll have people like that out there, who just completely ignore you like that for selfish reasons. But at least you were just being you Kurusu, and that person just didn’t see for who you really are.
Thanks man
I can only hope she’ll see me for the real me
And even if it doesn’t work out man, you got a whole jungle for ya
VERY true! We can help you if you need it
Good luck. And if nothing happens of it don’t let it bother you too much. the way I look at it is if something is meant to happen it will. If they get angry at you for giving them a gift hen they are definitely not someone you want to be with
I honestly only keep that as a possibility because it wouldn’t be the first time
Good luck! 👍
Thanks
May the best of luck to everyone else looking for someone this Valetines Day as well

made a thing
god damn it……i’m a sucker for the tiny animoo fang
Luvdisc can f*ck right off since it doesn’t evolve into Alomomola
Shiny Luvdisc references the phrase heart of gold though…
Do you actually think Gamefreak did that on purpose though
Probably not, but
Oh well
Uh yeah
I know GameFreak literally can’t do anything right but I’m sure they can make simple references
It was an honest question. Wasn’t sure if they were still just pallet swapping shinies in gen 3 or not.
2017 game reviews
everything I played
The first review tomorrow at 6:00 CT
So star is queen now? When did this happen? I am so confused right now…..not that it’s new
Star may be queen, but I am the Overlord of the Jungle.
I am the jester of the Jungle
Oh, honey….
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2d78a871f9afd327f056210cc046e2cd3ac5092dfecf13cabd91cbe381376f82.jpg
Im the mayor of the jungle
Star is queen you are overlord. I need a title too! I will think something up
who
https://media.giphy.com/media/xT9KVgY39YBCeLj4T6/giphy.gif
I’m queen because I said so
so…
PK STAR QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey if that’s what you want go for it lol
Star is our queen and I have no idea what that means…
it means im better than all of you in every way /s
As long as she doesn’t go mad like Cersei in game of thrones we should be good 👀
Can I have a Lava Cookie please?
I hope gamefreak sees how the “new” Nintendo is doing and starts embracing the fans wishes
Hard mode please and following Pokémon
Yes please! But they need to keep the shiny colors
I don’t see why they wouldn’t. They did it in HGSS
GameFreak: https://am23.akamaized.net/tms/cnt/uploads/2015/01/tumblr_n1fbbuCM921re2pxto1_500.gif
Then they see the bacon and makes a new Pokémon
They already have bacon Pokemon
They make more
Tepig says hi
It’s another reason 2019 release or super late 2018 is my best guess to get a good game
Mmmmm bacon!
Gamefreak and Embracing fan wishes is a odd combo
HGSS exists so…
Post HGSS era tho. the fallout era
I don’t know gen 5 was pretty awesome.
BW/2 was good so…
SO…. FINE POST GEN 5 ERA THE FALLEROUT ERA so….
All gamefreak has to do is listen to our simple demands and they’re set :^)
-I think Regional forms should stay
-Mega’s can return, but I seem to find games without Pokémon getting boosts like that more fun (Though could be nice to see them again)
-Ride should definitely stay and add soar (Also make the Bike available as an alternative)
-Follwing Pokémon would be nice to have especially in 3d
-BF could be nice if its done right
-Pokeball customization
Just a few good things to add
They said ride is gone
D:
It’s gone but so are HMs so hey will probably do something similar to ride in gen 8 I guess.
I think there will just be summonable pokemon that you don’t necessarily ride.
I was thinking maybe our party Pokémon will have abilities to do certain things outside battle. Example most water pokemon can surf you across water , all Pokémon with wings can fly you to places etc
Literally all of those would make it a perfect game (and by ride, I’m just going to say no hm’s) imo.
Til this day I still wonder how/why Gavin took that pic with food flung on his face
So just as a heads up before my reviews.. I sadly couldn’t play everything from last year. Here are some games that look rad that I didn’t get to play
Cuphead – looks incredible, the effort these guys put into this games is admirable.
Nier: Automata – keep hearing good things about its story. Would love to check it out at some point
Finding Paradise – Sequel to one of the best stories I’ve seen in a game? hell yes
Horizon Zero Dawn – BOTW with dinosaurs for girls
for girls?
it has a girl in it
so how is it for girls?
its a joke honey
dont call me that
ok sorry gov
I still am rallying for Cuphead to get a physical copy
That or a get a $20 PS3 card
its not on PS3… or PS4
Then XBox
My bad XP
For our queen:

Hope you like it, your deer grace~

I’ll take that as a yes, deer~
I like that
Unnecessary, but entirely doable request for Gen 8:
Make the box and party sprites shiny for shiny pokemon. I mean this awesome fan did it, so it shouldn’t be impossible for them.
http://i.imgur.com/SMlULmc.png
Wait a fan did them? They are in files tho….
For real? Wtf then. That makes me really mad.
yea they have shiny sprites for every pokemon
I don’t understand why they’re not in the game then
because gamefreak
Gamefreak needs new direction.
Some are in HGSS for following Pokemon
Yeah, I know of that, which is great, but that was also gen 4
I’m saying if they can do that then there’s no reason not to do it elsewhere, especially as they don’t really change game to game.
Oh, yes I agree
I would actually find it helpful when organising.
Exactly. And it would make my shiny box way cooler.
Noice!!!
This should totally be a thing!
Curse a timeline

Games I played but I’m not reviewing
USUM – you know damn why
Doki Doki Literature Club – loved it, I think it’s interesting, it’s hard to talk about it without major spoilers and I’d rather you all just play it on your own. It’s free.
Don’t just leave us hanging there without a DDLC review
Here’s a quickie
Again. Don’t read it if you don’t know anything about this game. It’s free and it’s short.
Doki Doki Literature Club is one of the best psychological horror games in recent memory under the mask of a cute anime highschool dating sim. It uses its setting, characters, art style and music to lure you into what seems like a cute little experience only to pull the rug out from under you.
Each character gets just enough attention needed for you to understand what theyre all about and the dialogue is full of personality and life. Since the game kind of forces you into multiple playthroughs it keeps your attention by excellent foreshadowing in the dialogue and the anxiety of never knowing when something is going to go horribly wrong.
Fuckin rad as sh*t dawg
Did you not get my (unfunny) joke?
I did. Nice one.
Did you just spoil the game? >:(
https://i.imgur.com/tud9RtT.gif
Although I actually don’tPeople keep recommending doki is it any good?
Yes
I love hanging out with Sayori
Yuri is a cut above the rest
Just thought you should all know that I am getting tacos right now…..tacos rule!
I want taco bell rn
I am eating real Mexican food right now although tacobell is good too!
Are you eating hardshell or soft tacos though?
WTF DID YOU CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE I DONT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU DID THAT
It’s been 6+ months. It was Ahsoka for a little while before (?) Durant. Idk if this one will stick. We’ll see
Soft have always preferred soft but I am not against eating hard shell tacos.
I was just wondering since hard shell tacos are an American invention. :3 I too prefer soft. Hard shell just break and get sh!t all over
Pretty much why I rarely eat them but I will from time to time although it’s rare.
Also I learned something new. Didn’t know hard shell tacos were an American invention lol
Apparently yes
…Are you secretly Sonata Dusk?!
Nope don’t even know who that is lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS2Tp4wfnkU
Okay that’s pretty funny lol Taco Tuesday FTW!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgWcSuxyvT8
God the thought of tacos is making me starving XD
Get you some tacos then!
I would but I’ve got something else I’m gonna eat tonight, so I’m saving my appetite
Then get some tacos later! Anytime is a good time for tacos

Josh? Is that you?
Yes this is Josh!
Don’t you remember me? It’s nick
Nick from? I know a few nicks in all honesty.
Nick from here 😐
Oh yeah I remember you lol and give me a break please I slow 😂 especially when I am thinking about food!
I’m * not I
Wow you actually remember me? I was just teasing. I haven’t been here in years and dont remember anyone
Ya know I might do some reviews too… Xept for the games I played last year. Expect
Hollow Knight
Mother 3
Odyssey
Botw
And Usum
My top 5 no order
Miitopia
USUM
Yo-kai Watch: PS
…
I guess Mario maker 3ds and Sage even though they aren’t from last year exactly
I’m wating till Yo-kai watch 3 comes out… I’ve seen some of the manga in the store
I have the 1st and 2nd volumes of it
And yeah it may become discontinued or take longer in a localized version because of the Switch
Oh….The 3ds still has ~2 years left for 3rd party tho
Ah. I wonder then what will Yo-kai Watch 4 be on if and when it’s real
Probably an enhanced new version of the game for Switch (Probably will slip back to a single game to cope with the switch)
Whats the best anime Op and why is it Cory in the House?
Because Cory is obviously the most fleshed out anime character out there
He really fleshed out during the Stanley Returns arc
Oh and that arc’s Op was phenomenal:

The first review (and my 9th favorite game I played) will be one of these four games. Can you guess?

Mania?
lol oops I meant four games
Arms
You got one from me…. so i guess that one since i got good taste
Certainly not ARMS
Correction… 8th favorite game. I guess I’m releasing two reviews tomorrow
Playing videogames is hard when you work full time. Sometimes I’m too tired and lazy to go to the effort of starting it up. Which is why the switch is nice because it’s way easier to boot up than my xbox
Are you practising for a Switch ad?
No, but if they want to pay me to advertise I 1000% will because I need monies
I’ll pay you to do something else
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/580ce8ef5174ee0a1de1264157f4eb085fe203221fb582be1c629cc95c9b17ff.gif

This right here, sometimes I’m scared my old games or memory card won’t work
I agree which is why I wait patiently (or not) every day for an announcement of some new games. I need a main fire emblem game soon. I also need super smash bros on switch and a pikmin game because we all know how amazing those would look on switch. Finally im hoping that the “next online service announcement is worth the wait” is gamecube games on VC
I personally think that what should replace PokeRide is most Pokémon automatically having a skill set for a situation a HM would be normally used for. I.e. a Machamp could push a boulder without the need for a move because it’s a skill it can do, or also Pokémon like Braviary can fly the trainer because of having that skill. Though, like with HMs, upon gaining a certain badge allows for a certain skill to be used outside of battle.
Yea I agree, why should I have to teach my Togekiss to fly?
Ikr
Like a green dragon flying around the ozone layer for thousands of years shouldn’t be taught how to fly.
It is still a snake at heart
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e8e29db5f5f60e1345d3137286da51fb3bbac4bfdb5636fb789bf96c18f439d6.gif
Danger 5 season 1 is great.
Is that what this is from? When I get time I’ll check it out.
Yeah, you don’t need to watch season 2 though, except maybe for Johnny Hitler.
But de snek can still fly
Tis still snek
https://pm1.narvii.com/6278/aaa27efb09a4918b207cbe26efa982a7dbda6b2c_hq.jpg
That is pretty much what I think. Worded a lot better too lol
WHY WONT THIS ZEKROM GET CAUGHT ITS A 45 CATH RATE
BECAUSE IT IS A ZEKROM!!!
(i hope it isn’t a shiny)
IT IS
OH NO
I GOT MUSIC FOR YOU IT ALWAYS WORK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNp3QzPKEvA
I ALREADY GOT IT THANK GOD
YAY GOOD FOR YOU
😀
DO I STILL HAVE TO USE ALL CAPS?
NAH
Ok good
Hope you countin’ that PP
I AM
ALRIGHT SO SOME FUCC AT GF LOWERED ITS CATCH RATE TO 3
AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE ITS FUCKIN NEUTRAL NATURED
I dealt with the most trying to catch this
Well at least it isn’t painfully easy as catching Necrozma in USUM
Not shiny
Looking forward to this movie. Probably going to buy the books later this week. https://youtu.be/89OP78l9oF0
I’m really hoping this movie is great. Gina Rodriguez is in it <3 <3
Looks good!
So Lugia was officially revealed for the 2018 movie, and apparently it’s the focus (much like Ho-oh last year). Very interesting that they’re going this route. Beyond this, Lugia is going to have a “special scoop” in the next issue. What the heck does that mean? Is there any chance Lugia could have a new form like Mewtwo and be the first hint at Gen 8?
I REALLY hope there is baby Lugia! Maybe a new mechanic for baby legendaries akin to cosmog
Phione
Yes, I think something like this may actually happen. Not only do they say that there’s a special scoop next month, they say to pay attention to Lugia throughout the year (beyond the movie release most likely). This has to be the very earliest hint at Gen 8 stuff.
Plot twist: they’re celebrating a HGSS rerelease for the 3DS
After just having GSC? I would actually like it if they did but there’s no chance atm.
My exact thought when I saw it
Update real quick on something from last week. As many of you know I made the decision to leave my job for my health. Well so far this week I have felt a lot better. Have had a lot less coughing spells than I have had in the past few weeks. Lost count of how many I had in the entire day for a while there. Today I have only had one coughing spell and that’s when I first woke up. Hopefully this means things are getting back under control and I can start doing things normally again
Good to hear, hope it continues to improve, looks like you made the right decision.
It appears that way. Next step is learning to drive and continue with my weight loss
That’s grrrrrrreat!
Nice to hear you’re making a comeback!
Yep next step is learning to drive and continue my weight loss
Nice to hear Josh, it’s great that you’re returning back to good health
Oh that’s a definite right there. Got really tiring taking breathing treatments over and over.
That’s good.
Any thoughts on your next job?
No idea right now but may put an app in at Publix close to where I live maybe even Walmart I just want something where I can actually move around and do something. Basically I guess wherever I can get to make money.
