Well that didn’t take too long to get my shiny Impidimp…
He won’t use it.
So I know nobody cares but I’ve been replaying the roms on my old laptop lately and I’m playing LeafGreen

Charmeleon 30
Mankey 26
Sandslash 24
Victreebel 28
I’m debating on if I want to grind out tokens for a Scyther
I hope we can buy Safari and Sport Balls in the DLC areas, the animations, especially for Safari, look great.
Hi! Lurker here! Would anyone be able to help me with a Riolu? I’m trying to complete my dex and trying to find one has been a pain.
If you give me a bit I can

Onward to the worst area of the game Silph Co.
Why is that the worst? Warps?
I really like this team btw.
Nice team! Especially kingler and primaepe!
Would anyone be in possession of a HA Snow breeject? I can offer 5IV Ponytas in a dream ball >.>
I can probably breed you a Moon Ball one if you want.
If anyone is ever down to play some smash let me know!
Whoot whoot 95 to go on the Dex till I get my Shiny Charm
Entire Family lines I’m missing:
Shellos, Barboach, Seedot, Binacle, Salandit, Elgyem, Cubchoo, Vullaby, Inkay, Hippopotas, Phantump, Type: Null, Electrike, Combee, Dwebble, Drifloon, Machop, Roggenrola, Scraggy and Noibat
And a bunch of odd balls like Cutiefly and Wooper
I can help with final evos of all except Barboach, Null and Drifloon I think.
YES I STILL HAVE IT
Just a little Fighting Type appreciation

So i really didn’t mention this but i was actually in the city for the day (NYC for you Europeans) and sadly the Nintendo store was a tad underwhelming this year
I was itching for some new figurines from Sword and Shield but nada, really just debut trailer plushies (Gossifluer and Eldegoss and Drednaw) and the “cosplay” Pikachus not the ORAS ones the Pokemon Center ones with Archie and Maxie ect
I would’ve picked up a Drednaw but i didn’t like the stitching
I miss the days when it was still the Pokemon Center and they had all the figurines and collectables but it just feels like a bygone era same with the gigantic Toys R Us siiiigh
The only redeeming thing was i struck up a smash bros conversation with somebody who freaking understands how much the meta is a smoldering dumpster fire
Hey dudes! If any of you feel like helping a brother out I need a few to finish my dex… mostly shield exclusives since I only have one switch.
Goomy
Deino
Larvitar
Zamazenta
Stonjourner
Lunrock
Turtonator
Sableye
Mawile
Vullaby
Solosis
Ryperior
Slurpuff
Spritzee
Aromatisse
Appletun
Steelix
Gigalith
I think that’s about it… I would be glad to return the favor if someone would help me out! I can trade back if need be and would also offer shinys or special ball pokemon and or special balls and mints!
I can help you out a bit tomorrow? I have most of these and can breed a bunch for you
That would be cool man. Monkey is going to help me out too so if you can help me fill some of the blanks that would be great! Let me know what I can do for you also!
It’s really upsetting the Dorohedoro anime is turning out so terrible. But Eizouken is a nice surprise and a palette cleanser.

Orange barney lookin bitch
Ash catches a Dragonite and a Scyther on the game where they can’t be caught.
Ash never caught Scyther?
And it’s not about Galar, it’s all regions. They’ve traveled everywhere except Unova, Kalos and Alola so far
It’s not a Sword and Shield anime lmao
Nappy is back lol this guy has some nerve i gotta give him that
OK now I’ve seen Ash get Dragonite I guess he will use it in battle. Though I do not really like that that’s his first catch this series and not a Galar ‘mon, or that the only real focus a Galar ‘mon has received so far is Scorbunny, much as I like it. I know we aren’t that far in but with this and the GO style of the series I don’t know I will really be interested in watching it. I really feel the Twilight Wings is more interesting and I would much like a side-series that is Galar focused with different characters.
I kind of agree. Like the new season just feels bad, like Alola the animation was fine, but now some of the movements… are just plain stupid
Story is a mess and feels like a rough start
Persona 5 Royal comes out with 60 dollars of DLC on Day one.
Help me finish this team:
Cinderace, Grimmsnarl, Dragapult, Galarian Darmanitan, Espeon, _____________?
Well this is upsetting. Bought the entire first season of Pokemon on DVD. I did indeed get it, but they gave me two copies of Volume 2 instead of a Volume 1
If Parasite is doing well in the Box office, does it mean that it is a BONG HIT?
What eeveelution to finish this team off:
Inteleon, Corviknight, Beartic, Thievul, Galarian Rapidash, Leafeon or Flareon
Cinderace, Dragapult, Grimmsnarl, Toxtricity, Galarian Darmanitan, Espeon/Vaporeon
Thanks but I’m going to do my “whatever” teams instead…
Inteleon, Beartic, Galarian Rapidash, Eiscue, Ninetales, Corviknight and Lapras (Gigantamax forms)
Cinderace, Grimmsnarl, Thievul, Dragapult, Galarian Darmanitan, Hatterene and Toxtricity (gotta get their Gigantamax forms)
So wrestling post. Watched the wwe Royal rumble last night and the men’s rumble match made me so happy for two reasons. One Drew McIntyre won it which he absolutely deserved. Two something I thought would never happen happened. After being forced to retire due to neck issues Edge returned. They must feel safe him going again to clear him which makes me so happy as a fan and even more happy for him since he’s one of the people who loves this business.
Update on my Dex!
Down to 55 left (Because I went crazy on catching stuff for a while)
Some big ones I still don’t have are:
Dracozolt
Silvally*
Vullaby Family
Drampa
Lunatone
Solrock*
Delibird*
*=I could get them myself but it’d be a big hassle compared to asking for a touch trade
Most of the others I can get where it won’t be painful to cause it’s stupid stuff like Krabby and Nincada or something easy to find like Gigalith
Dragon quest 11 is officially finished! Such a fantastic game! Will definitely be playing more in the future and keeping an eye out for the sequel when it’s announced! All that said later today I will finally be starting Astral chain!

Eizouken really understands both what makes people wanna do art and what a good piece of animation can make you feel.
