Hi, my friend! I'm doing fine, it was fun watching F1 and the others. I hope your day is a nice one too!

I'm doing pretty average -- about to sleep. Yourself?

@Cash In Oh, I just got done watching the 1999 Bathurst 1000. I've got a couple of Bathurst replays saved on my Foxtel IQ  next is the 2014 Bathurst 1000 

@Tacodidra That's good to hear  ^^ hope you had fun watching the race  I cant wait for Bathurst 

@Widdershins I think there will be random Pokemon popping up throughout the live-stream and it's up to us to pay attention  (different pokemon appearing at different times)  I think we'll just to have to play 'the waiting game' and see what happens 

I DO hope they show us the evolutions of the starters. The game comes out in less than 2 months and they havent even shown us the 2nd evolutions of the starters. I'm NOT gonna buy a Nintendo Switch Lite / pre-order my copy of Pokemon Shield until they do  

Eh, I don't really see the starters as that big of a clincher for buying the game. It's every other pokemon revealed so far that's got me excited!

  ...except for the fact they STILL haven't said a thing about the Ice type, and its desparate need for an overhaul.

Well, I'm trying to be optimistic about the game, but they’re NOT helping me my cause. I wanted a rival that’s similar to Blue / Silver. We got ANOTHER rival who just wants to be your friend AND he has a REALLY stupid name. Hop. WHAT KIND OF BLOODY NAME IS THAT!? COULDN’T YOU JUST GIVE HIM A NAME LIKE ALEX OR MATT!? O_O  Sheesh…

I wanted an evil team that has a REALLY cool name / design and a SERIOUS ambition to take over the region / world. We got an evil team with a REALLY stupid name (pfft…Team Yell. Couldn’t they come up with a better name!?)  that’s based on KISS and their ambition is to support this one chick called Marnie and make everyone else look like sh*t. LAME!!!!!! 

…and I’m not one of those people who’s constanty keeps annoying gamefreak by saying: "#BringBackNationalDex’’ 'cuz I know they’re working on the more important stuff such as the plot / story and the graphics and they'll probably release the National Dex in a future update, but when they bring up the topic of the curry-dex, I have NO choice but to hop onto the haters bandwagon. This is another one of gamefreak’s “bright-idea’s” that’s NEVER gonna work. We got contests in gen 3 and they were a flop. We got mantine surfing recently in Pokemon USUM and that was a flop as well. What’s annoying about that is IT FORCES YOU TO DO IT even if you don’t want to!!!  That’s was one of the things I HATED about Ultra Sun and Moon! Look, if it's NOT gonna raise your EV's / IV's, NO ONE's gonna pay attention to this...and even if it does......I'm not gonna do this. THIS IS POKEMON, NOT A COOKING SIMULATOR!!! 

I'm sorry if I'm being overly negative, but these are some of the things I DONT like about Pokemon Sword and Shield. The TWO things it has going for it are Gigantamaxing and gyms. For me, the starter evolutions are VERY important. They are the Pokemon you'll be having for the rest of your journey. If they have a REALLY cool design / typing and if they have really good stats / a really good movepool, then I'll DEFINITELY be getting the game  the gen 5 starters were RUBBISH and are a CLASSIC example of what I DON'T want. 

*Explodes*

Good night, my friend!

Night

Have a fun night, buddy!

Thanks, my friend!

Technically, given their roundish, flat shape & breaded sweetness, I would count cookies as a form of miniture pancake.

  *Munch*

It's an interesting looking game.  So yeah, maybe  I just gotta buy the essentials first (the Switch Lite, a case, a copy of smash bros ultimate AND pre-order my copy of Pokemon Shield.) 

@SolarFlare13 Smash is like... the best fighting game ever! So I would definitely get it!

That Sobble plush is adorable! I hope you can get all of those things soon!

Scorbunny is still my favorite, though!

Good luck to him! I hope you enjoy the race, my friend!

@SolarFlare13 I just went horseback riding and this was my horse! His name is Strawberry!

Hi, my friend! I'm doing fine – it hasn't been a very eventful day but not a bad one either. I hope yours is an amazing one!

What a cute Pinkie!

Good night, my friend!

@SolarFlare13 Nighty night my awesome friend! Luna will be there shortly!

@SolarFlare13 Thank you my friend! *returns the big cuddle*

*cuddles back*

Thanks.

That's great to hear!!!

Hehehehehehe, I hope you had a really great time, my little buddy. ^^

*hugs*

I'm glad to hear your birthday was an awesome one, my friend!

@SolarFlare13 I can't seem to gift wrap the entire Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for you. Sorry, but that would have been my present to you.

Happy Birfdai! I didn't knows youse was having another year! 

I expected youtoDie!!! S'why I stopped celebrating my birthdays. I figure, if you die every couple of months, kinda defeats the purpose of having a celebration of having lasted another year.

Anyways, I don't see any bad luck about Friday the 13th happeni-

 *Machete crashes through bedroom Door*

….

Have fun, my friend! Sounds like an awesome way to celebrate a birthday!

You're welcome!

Happy Birthday @SolarFlare13! It is still Thursday here for billions of hours I don't know how you made it to Friday.

Happy Birthday! 

Thanks guys  ^^ I hope my birthday party is just as good as the Birthday wishes you all sent me.  Love you guys

Look like SNES controllers, UK snes cartridges were rounded though ( but a quick websearch suggests some other markets had different looking cartridges, and that there is a "super retro trio" console that can play snes, nes AND megadrive cartridges from one machine. So... erm....

AND the Switch. The irony is not lost on me!

The switch apparently has a bunch of snes and nes games available for download from nintendo, and of course there is a megadrive classics cartridge for it.

But I do enjoy some of the classic snes games, even if they ARE a bit dated; super bomber man 3 for example is GREAT fun as a party game, and supports up to five players.

Applejack looks so fluffy! 

Hi, my friend! I'm fine, thanks! May your day be every bit as amazing as that apple kirin!

I am disappoint wif Kirin design.

 Now @J.T. I am right muffined you invoke the name of that holiest of qualities of Fluffiness! The fluffiness quota of aforesaid Kirin is entirely localized in just a few bands about the body. Lion's mane, back of fetlocks and only the underside of tail! Such is much constrained fluffiness that I turn my snoot up at. Fluff is not to be restrained!

 Then again, this beggars my belief as to the meshing of scale AND fur which simply does not happen within one congruous species! It's like how in the Furry fandom when authors try to have their muffin & eat it too by having their OC a Wolf-Dragon hybrid while just piecemealing disparate parts. You surely cannot have all options!

 Why, that's even to call upon whether ponies even have fur to begin with!

 Poor kirinform! She can't even wear hats with that horn! 

...though those ears are Tol' Boss, yo.

Writing down asap works; To this day I remember the dreams I wrote down there, even though I destroyed that notebook. It got risky once or twice, so I just decided to get rid of that. 

@Rikifive if you don't mind if I ask, how did it get "risky"?

@Muffinnz It is kinda like a diary - a private thing no one else should be viewing. Some dreams tend to be rather ... I don't know, personal? Ones, that are better to keep for yourself.

There were times, when my notebook was where it better shouldn't be.  .. Along with my diary (I wanted to give it a try so I had one at some point).

In the end I decided to get rid of these before someone else would find them. 

I love Chinese food! 

Sounds like an awesome thing to do on a birthday! Have fun, my friend!

Well now, Chinese food is regional, so to speak. Like my impression was that most Asian food was heavily based on fried food... when that's just America's take on it. Ya ain't gettin' genuine Asian foods!

The trick to eating is to pace yourself and take your time eating. Savor and enjoy the flavors! I'm almost always the last person though holding everybody back from leaving, lol! Oh, and drink plenty of water! Not soda, water. I consider sodas to be more of a dessert. All that bubbly and sugar can sit poorly with anything else you eat or take up room with carbonation. 

 Not to Toot my own Horn (Huh, wonder if unicorns can toot out their horns?) but I DO consider myself an expert on eating!

Good night, my friend!

Night

Thanks, my friend! Pure adorableness!

Neat. I'm going to assume that's Vapor Trail, unless I'm wrong of course.

who's that again

That looks badass

AWESOME 

*cuddles back*

@Lady Kiriness is best Kirin but Autumn Blaze is close

Nah, @Treeglow Flicker is cutest Kirin on the site. But Autumn Blaze is cutest canon Kirin

I heard my name and cute in the same sentence.

Autumn Blaze is definitely cute though. Just looking at her makes me happy.

@SolarFlare13 OMG, OMG! DID YOU SEE THAT?!!?

 Alcremie's shiny form is green! LIME CREAM! MY FAVORITE! YEEEEEE!!!

 OH MY GOLD!!! MULTIPLE FLAVORS?!!? This means that not only do those little topping barrettes change its basically got, like a dozen different colors! Ooh! Please be there a caramel! I love, love, love this!!! 

Cramarant is adorable, I do love my goofy birbs and I expect you like a new type of duckie about too!

 And of course we'd get a tea-based tea-ghost! That's hilarious! Been a while since we've had a monotype ghost too...hmm..

 They seem to be avoiding talking about the starter evolutions, that's usually a main selling point, but they've always put that off as long as they could. Almost as they're not proud of them anymore.

 But still, curry is a nice throwback to the communal game of cooking that baking Pokeblocks & Poffins were! Camping is a nice way to socialize, show off your pokemon and spread the love! 

 Most importantly, I am SO glad I can TAKE MY BLOODY HAT OFF!

 I'm super satisfied & excited with what they've let go of information! After all, half the fun is in playing the game ourselves to see that which we've deemed important to ourselves! Oh, and Solly? Think the "Pokémon Jobs" thing was a way to get a boost to EVs to your team of pokemon.

….still... rather quite.. peeved, that a certain type is being ignored yet again. But I love what I'm getting! I am!...

@Widdershins Oh. Yes. the Ice type. Speaking of which, I'm thinking about putting an Abomasnow on my team  I've always wanted to have one on my team (ever since gen 4). Having a Pokemon that has access to 100% accurate Blizzards? YES PLEASE!!! 

I just hope Pokemon Sword and Shield can offer a decent challenge. I've been playing Pokemon Red for the last couple of weeks and...WOW!!!  It's WAY more challenging than any of the pokemon games I've played so far 

Seriously, I thought I was over-levelled when I was fighting team rocket in the Silph Co. Oh no. I was wrong. Gary had a FREAKING Venusaur that was 1 level HIGHER than my starter (Lv. 40 VS Lv. 39) and it was on par with my Nidoking (who was one of the strongest pokemon on my team at that point. The highest level pokemon I had was my Lv. 43 Raichu. I raised it to Lv. 43 just so it could learn Thunder and fry his Pidgeot and Gyarados) >:)

Realistically, my Nidoking was the ONLY Pokemon on my team (besides my Fearow) that could defeat his Venusaur. (My fearow was Lv. 38 or something like that at the time.) I 2-hit KO'ed it with Earthquake.  

...and if that wasn't enough. Giovanni's Nidoqueen was the exact same level as my Nidoking. So I had a Nidoking VS Nidoqueen showdown. Luckily for me, I had Earthquake and I knocked it out in ONE hit  MAN, that was satisfying 

After that, I had an INSANE grinding sesh and got my Dugtrio to Lv. 47 to beat Koga just so it could learn earthquake. I was originally planning to clean sweep him, but it keeps getting 1-hit KO'ed by his weezing when it uses self-destruct (I know I could've used Dig, but that's not the point.)  For some odd reason, my earthquake always knocked it down to 1 HP.

So then, I used Nidoking and the same freaking thing happened: Swept all of his pokemon and his Weezing had 1 hp, but this time, it managed to tank the self-destruct. Yeah!!! Don't mess with mah Nidoking, boi 

Of course, I used my Lv. 48 Dugtrio at the time to beat the sh*t out of sabrina. It was CLEARLY the fastest Pokemon on my team and even tho psychic types were broken in gen 1, the majority of her pokemon had low defenses, so I just used earthquake on all of them XD 

Y'see, this it what I'm talking about. the modern pokemon games just dont offer the same experience as some of the older pokemon games.
