We Are All Pokemon Trainers Discussion

Well, fuck I think my compooper finally bit the big one. It's not even turning on anymore. Power's flowing to it just fine, but every time I try to turn it on, it clicks and the turns right back off, no flash of light on the screen or anything.

Ow, geez, sorry Psyche... Seems everyone's computer is breaking this year. ._.

It seems to be up and working now, but it's gonna be really touch and go for a bit

Word of advice, back up EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.

Ouch. Yeah, if you can make it work long enough, back up everything to an external drive.

I already have a back up from the last time this happened. I don't have any new files on this compooper, since I do most of my work on Google Docs anymore.

That.

That's pretty much exactly what happen to my old lappy.

Wat. .-.

Hey everyone,

So I've got a bit of an update about my situation. I'm going to be stopping surfing the web for fun, especially looking up info about video games, basically stop surfing without a purpose of something productive (such as for school) for about the next 6 months. My therapy program convinced me that this would be for the best, and I agree and am making this conscious choice of limiting myself of my own volition (I realize it might be a bit annoying for the time being, but it will wholeheartedly be for the best in the long run).

Anyways, this means I'll be dropping WAAPT and everything related to it for the duration (this includes OOC stuff such as this thread). This has nothing to do with you all specifically, it's just that WAAPT is too close to the Pokemon games for me to follow it, though I definitely still want to return after the 6 months is over.

If anyone wants to keep in touch, PM me and I can send you my email, though I ask of you to respect my self-imposed internet limitation and thus I won't respond to any discussion about video games, Pokemon related stuff, or even random funny internet videos, pics, etc.

And with that, I thank you all for understanding, see you in about 6 months ^_^

Good luck there and good decision, looking forward to seeing you in 6 months.

Good luck and see you then!

Wait, that's March. It's the 19th. That's around my birthday.

Interesting coincidence.

Edit because unrelated question: Policy on delta mons?

So that's a thing. Thanks.

Specifically, I was thinking of a dragon/psychic Dratini, going for an East-Asian-dragon-esque aesthetic.

-hugs Fletcha super-tightly-

EDIT: Delta Dratini's fine by me, but didn't we just finally get a Eastern-style Dragon in Drampa?

Huh. So we did. Did not see that, not that I've been keeping up on Sun/Moon stuff really.

I mean, just because Drampa exists doesn't mean we can have new spins on older Pokemon especially since Drampa is under block ATM. I don't think Eastern Dragon inspired mons would be classified under the One-Steve Limit

Also true.

Very true, just kinda pointing it out in case Izshta'd rather use Drampa later or something; I could imagine this Dratini having design elements Drampa doesn't like psionic antlers or something.

Double post because inquiry on brand-new Sun and Moon news:

Would it be possible for anyone getting Moon and playing it first to help me cheat the system and get my planned Rockruff from my Sun run to evolve into a Midnight Lycanroc? I'm getting both, but playing Sun first as the "serious" run with no nickname theme whereas Moon has a more meme-y nickname theme, yet I wanted a Mignight Lycanroc on my Sun team so I could name him Keaton because hey look at this Tumblr post I made this morning

So could anyone help me cheat a little and trade lil' Rockruff Keaton to their copy of Moon and help him get the more appropriate evolution? Bonus points if I can reciprocate in getting your own Rockruff into Midday Lycanroc on Moon.

Related side note, sage man orangutan is pretty cool, but I'm happier about Zoboomafoo's new career in American football.

I plan on using day Lycanroc in Moon, so if I'm at home when that time comes, I might be able to do that for you. If I'm at college then I won't be able to because the internet doesn't work very well with the 3DS.

Also I think Passimian is a rugby player, but it's basically the same sport. :P

Thanks for the offer either way.

And good point. Still. :P

: I hope you realise claiming rugby and American handegg are the same sport is considered a capital offense here in the UK. And everywhere else rugby is played, for that matter. :P

Edited then. The helmet threw me off, I didn't realize rugby had helmets. :P

EDITED: Looking it up again I remembered correctly it doesn't. I'm confused.

Rugby is indeed played without armour. Since Passimian appears to wear armour, is in an American football linebacker pose (rugby backs pose with both hands) and has an ability called Receiver - as in, wide receivers, a role which exists in handegg but not rugby - I'm assuming it's meant to be themed around American football. After all, Hawaii is part of the USA!

So, we've got football King Julian, stoner Harambe, edgelord Wolf O'Donnel, and a Pikachu Fastball Special. So far, so good.

Also Passimian's "ball" looks a lot like the coconut thingy on Alolan Exeggutor's tail.
