Well... looks like people are doing great over here. =) I caught a shiny on my first horde encounter, just a Nosepass though. Might do some Masuda breeding later since i want a Goodra so badly. I'm not sure how competitive i'll go to be honest. I try to stick with something between. Having complete Flawless IVs (31 all) is not my interest anymore. It's kinda boring and to me kinda kills some of the uniqueness pokemon has, even if it's a weakness. Besides.. if i need one, i'll just pull out RNG abuse tactics if they reappear later. Traded away Yveltal for a japanese Ditto. Caught Mewtwo yesterday. (Always curious to check IVs. :x) The story continues. x) EDIT: Ohh and before i forget, i'm on the lookout after a player with Sliggoo in their Safari. (Dragon)

I got a flashback from visiting this thread. Good times it was indeed. :') As a huge Eeveelution fan, i support those who join it even though i'm not that active here anymore. :Z

Never thought i would post here anymore ehh... i make exceptions. So i got the game last Friday morning, yet i'm like last in terms of progression compared to my friends. x) I said to myself i wouldn't do any serious play as in getting perfect pokemon teams, EVs, nature, etc. I failed to keep that to some degree but i'm still doing it fairly casually.

Hmm cool, it's great to see the site continuing to succeed in so many ways and that people still enjoy it. It's quite a remarkable accomplishment. So props to everyone involved, old and new members, previous and new staff members alike~ Although my own actual interest here is near its end like many others, people shouldn't look down to everything else they like about the site. Don't let friends or people you like change your view of it, it might end up being a mistake you'll regret. So don't rush to "i'm leaving" before you actually feel it holds zero interest to you. Keep several sites to your interest at once, you're not bound to one community that's all i'm saying. More fun, less drama for everyone. ---- So Happy Anniversary MLP Forums~

The ranks were made by me for last year's anniversary... i don't like them all that much anymore though. :V As for the site redesign, It's better but i'm not a huge fan of the whole menu bar page scrolling. Maybe i'm just annoyed by the fact that it blocks some areas where actual content is, like toolbars on your browser.

I normally don't listen to a whole lot in this genre but since i came across something through OCremix, it caught my interest slightly. ^^

^So much yes^ Also worth mentioning.. the type changes. "Ghost types are no longer affected by moves that prevent fleeing such as Mean Look. Grass Pokémon can't be seeded or affected by moves such as SleepPowder or Stun Spore. Electric types can no longer be Paralysed"

Actually, you can create true vectors in Photoshop but it's obviously not recommended. The reason people believe PS can't create vectors is because it can't display it properly due to the nature of being a raster program. It's programmed to work with 100% of your resolution. Anything above will be pixelated but if you resize the image from let's say 1000x1000 to 20000x20000 it will retain its vector quality.

Good additions all around. Glad to hear that our overlord is having more time for everything else. Hopefully he's able to enjoy some time on the forum as well as pursuing domination with Poniverse of course. x) Good luck! (sun)

Full quote from Serebii: I'm okay with most things. Can't say i'm a huge fan of Chespin's evo but might get better in the final one. Nerf to steel and some Fairy-type chart goodness... i approve. x)

Gotta finish them all~ As for my top 5 list... this is hard but... 1: Majora's Mask To some this might feel like an overrated first choice but this game has something very special to me, the world. Never had i experienced a game where side quests and self exploration could lead to a deeper understanding of the world you're set to save. Help various people, restore their faith, unveil the world as you help yourself to find your way back to your friend.... it was all tied together so well. It was a very engaging experience. It took me several runs through the game to get a grasp of the bigger picture. (Even then i had many plot holes yet to discover) Masks were also an interesting way to shake up progression and it did make up for the lack of items normally obtained in the Zelda series. 2: Skyward Sword Say whatever you want... but i love this game. <3 Contrary to popular belief, i had no issue with the sword combat, in fact that was one of its strongest points and it worked flawlessly for me. The story is interesting and once again in a LoZ game, Zelda is actually present in a greater extent throughout the game. Playing a more interesting role (First in Spirit Tracks) and the relation between Zelda and Link is just too cute. <3 Let's not forget its beautiful graphical style. Despite all problems the game had (Linearity, emptiness, holding hands, etc), everything else make up for a 2nd place. 3: Link's Awakening A more refined classic title hence above the original. Similar mysterious theme as in MM, charming and memorable world along with a compilation of the better dungeon designs in the series in my opinion. It's hard to beat this game in its territory, the oracle games are good competitors but not enough to make me place them above this title. 4: Twilight Princess Midna enough said... :3 The graphics in this game were not all that impressive since it was lacking in terms of color range. What carries the game up here is the compelling story and theme. Despite having repetitive elements in the progression (Like Skyward Sword), it had a good amount improvements over its top competitor OoT. To put it simple, TP felt like a refined OoT with a more distinct story. 5: Wind Waker In terms of 3D world exploration, this game wins by far. Every square of the map has something interesting to discover and is fully explorable not too far into the game. Charming and pleasing world to explore with the cel-shaded graphics and cartoony look. Something that worked very well with the hardware and standard back then. I can't deny that i feel one dungeon is missing from the first sequence of the game, it was a weird transition. :V

In terms of the games themselves, gen 5. They had a more engaging player and story progression than the others in my opinion. The region was decent, annoying elements in a lesser extent. Overall smoother transitions, which is quite obvious. Gen 2 Gen 4 Gen 3 Gen 1 In terms of pokemon....i've to say gen 4. Good middle ground for design and type distribution. Evolutions introduced to older gen pokemon. (Froslass, Mismagius, Glaceon, Leafeon, etc) Overall a good selection for old and new fans alike. Gen 5 Gen 2 Gen 3 Gen 1 No offense/hate to people who prefer gen 1, it's just too bland from every standpoint to me. There are a few good bits here and there but overall nothing that impress me. Frankly, majority of its popularity is carried by nostalgia from the old gen fans. Trubbish and Vanillish are not that bad if you look back at Voltorb, Exeggcute, etc

Homebrewed coffee most of the time, it's what i usually start my morning with. Although i tend to swap out coffee for tea if i feel that coffee is redundant at the time. As for sweetener, i don't have any of that in either coffee or tea. I put some cream in it and that's enough for it be tasteful. In some occasions i drink black coffee as well but only if i've something sweet to chew on, like a cinnamon roll.

One that i think of right now is Ballad of the Goddess from LoZ: Skyward Sword. When played backwards you can clearly hear the classic song, Zelda's Lullaby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKgljOPCbso

Most of the people i want to brohoof/hug have already received one before :? Would totally do it again~ There are a few others though... *no names* You know who you are.. .)

Heroes of Newerth, 400$+ (Game + cosmetics) It's quite a large sum of money... While i've a slight regret in spending that much in a single game, i feel i got the extra value i paid for. I even don't play it that much anymore due to disinterest and growing interest in its competitor, Dota 2. x)

Ditto~ It's unfortunate that they had to simplify it so much, i mean it's a great universe with a lot of things around it. Torchlight 2 in a sense did a much better job on giving the player more variety of customization. (Gear, Skills, Spec, etc)
