Pokemon!

[Azunara]

Alright. Let's do this. Updates inc!

Well, I've been playing pokemon quite a bit late into the night, especially when the RP threads grind to a halt. (Sol! <3) So, I've made some progress, more or less. I have everyone evolved and whatnot except Aurora, who I need to pick up. Before I can grab her, I need Chuck, so I have to level Solara up first.

Speaking of Sol, she evolved on me when I didn't expect it, kind of funny. I was killing trainers in order to get money so I can buy her vitamins, and because Phantom had fainted, she was first. So she got enough XP to push her into 13. Well it turns out, Sol loved me enough to surprise me by not making me spend more money and evolved right there. I was all, "Ohhaithar, Sol." It made me rather happy, my espeon is now espeon-y!

Also, an I just say...I really am loving Soundwave. He may sit up there with Sol as 'Pokemon that I can count on to pull me through pretty much any crap." He has U-Turn, which I love, and Supersonic and Sonicboom, so he doesn't have shabby offense, and best of all, Double Team if push comes to shove.

And of course, Sol will have a few of my favorite attacks evar: Psybeam and Psychic. Those are -nasty- when Sol used them, so I'm pretty happy.

Team:

Solara: Level 13 Espeon
Insomnia: Level 25 Noctowl
Jack: Level 24 Croconaw
Ace: Level 28 Arbok
Phantom: Level 18 Flareon
Soundwave: Level 25 Yanma

So I was surfing to get to an apricorn tree then raikou appered........I was spazzing of course cause I didn't think the legendary ebasts would apper in water and I didn't waste my chances so the first thing I did was so a quick and IT WORKED! I feel so so happy now...

[Azunara]

Grats, Ruby! Yay legendaries deciding to work with you!

I remember my first go on SS, I had some pokemon (Speck, likely.) that could put others to sleep. So I figured, "What the hey. I'm in my 20s, he's 40...Let's catch him! I'll put him to sleep and he won't be able to r-"

The Wild Raikou has fled the battle!

Needless to say, everytime after I saw him, he was asleep...and ran away. :p

[Makoes]

Yeah, the first time i was playing SS was the japan version, and I thought I was missing something because he was asleep...and running away...lolwut?

English version, same thing...ummmm I wish I could run in my sleep...I might get more excersize that way lol.

Going to my Dad's for X-mas, should be back by the 27th.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

[rubybeam]

Heh Now I just need to try the same technique on entei (Who's been stalking me for like ever I rarely saw raikou), and finish leveling my lapras and hopefully I can then defeat lance somehow

[Azunara]

You can get 'em!

Also...

I defeated a female seel today. I felt guilty. Just thought I should mention. >.>;

[Senna-Umbreon]

Senna, I love that new sig but I cant help thinking about how that hybrid-eon came into being, and it puts bad things in my head!!

XD Don't worry, you're not to the only one who's been subjected to... That. >.< My stupid head goes.. 'Places'. And when my head goes places.. Things start to blow up. Which is not good. Darn brain. XD

Anywho. What do you know. I've changed my team. AGAIN. Yep.. I just can't settle on a team. But I'm hoping this one will work.

Team Bones Shatter - Revamped Version!:

Umbreon (HAH. I can't help but use Rust. He's pure amazingness.)
Uxie (Uxiiiiiie~! <3 I love this guy. And he'll hopefully make a great replacement for Lugia, since he also uses the Dual Screens strategy. He may not have a way to heal himself, but he does have a great way to support the team. So, unlike Lugia who is tailored to take hits and if she can, kill things herself.. Uxie, AKA Aku by the way, is meant to just help out his team. ... But I'm NOT gonna spoil his moveset, since I don't want any of you to know, just in case we have a battle! =P)
Moltres (Moltres~! I also love this guy. His name is Kaji. Lame, if you know what it means. ... It just means 'fire' in Japanese. Not very creative, especially considering Moltres's name in the Japanese version of Pokemon is.. 'Fire' XD Anywho. The reason his name is what it is.. Is because of an oooollllddd Moltres character of mine, the original Kaji. He was a character in a little Mystery Dungeon-style story I had going with some modeling clay Pokemon models that I had. Kaji was one of the main characters, and was one of my favourites. So.. It's become a tradition for me to name ALL my Moltres Kaji XD But despite ALL the Kaji's, none of them have ever really.. Done anything besides just.. Be there. So finally, Kaji the Moltres will get his chance in the spotlight with this team!)
Luxray (AKA Tawny~ I love Luxray. It's an awesome Pokemon. Of course.. I think Shinx hate me. It took absolutely FOREVER to hatch a female Shinx with a Naughty nature and Intimidate >.<)
Mismagius (Look! A Ghost type Pokemon! NO SURPRISE THERE XD I love Mismagius. She's awesome. This one, AKA Tiffany, will hopefully be no exception!)
and Breloom (BRELOOOM! <3 Bah, I love this thing. I mean, who doesn't love a mushroom-kangaroo-dinosaur-thing?! Mine unfortunately doesn't have a name yet, but hopefully it won't be long 'til she does! :D)

[Aleu]

Urg, my lack of patience is getting to me. I want to start Wi-Fi battling possibly when Black & White are released, but I'm very impatient when it comes to grinding! DX

...Anyone else know a good place to grind up some levels in SoulSilver that might help me? (Besides the elite four) I might start my Platinum or Diamond games to help grind up... Or Sapphire. I did find my Sapphire version. << >> I just need to get it to work without possibly crashing.

ALSO, the elemental monkeys apparently to have been given their English names.

Yanappu to Pansage.
Baoppu to Pansear.
Hiyappy to Panpour.

Bulbanews!

[rubybeam]

I got some Pokémon plushies for Christmas aaaaaaaaaaaa

A Budew, Munchlax, Zubat and Riolu. Gotta say the Riolu is my favorite. <3 They're so soft! My parents also told me that some of my presents are late for delivery and are still on their way. They'll probably arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping it's more Pokémon, hehe.

Yay plushies!! And heh, I know the feeling of 'AGH THEY'RE STILL NOT HERE YET!!!' XD I get all my plushies off Ebay.. So a lot of my plushies are coming from like.. China or Japan. I have another present that's coming from China, actually, and I'm almost certain it's a plushie! And if it is.. From what I've gathered, I expect it to be a Cresselia. Why? Because I keep saying my Lake Trio need their Lady Cordelia! ... That probably didn't explain it whatsoever. So, to REALLY explain; I have this story that I was kind of working on (Probably never gonna finish it at this point, but what ever.) and some of the characters are Uxie (Aku), Mesprit (Titania. Random Fact of the Day: Titania is an awesome name for a Pokemon for me, as it's the name of the fairy queen from A Midsummer Night's Dream, which when I was younger, I was in a play of. Heck, I was even one of the little fairies in it! So that just makes it even better. Titania the Mesprit is NOTHING like Titania the Fairy Queen, though XD), Azelf (Katsumi) and Cresselia (Cordelia). Now.. The Lake Trio are somewhat.. Cresselia's.. 'Followers', in a way, so they call her 'Lady Cordelia'. So basically, I got the Lake Trio plushies like.. a WHILE ago. Still haven't gotten a Cresselia though. Which makes me and the Lake Trio sad. And since I've told my mom this a lot, I'm pretty darn sure that this plushie that's STILL on its way will be a Cordelia plushie <3

(Oh, and if you're wondering, the story that I mentioned is the story where a LOT of my characters originated from. Heck, Ghost was originally a character in that story. She wasn't much of a character to be honest, though... All she REALLY was was my TrainerSona's signature Pokemon, along with almost.. The Umbreon version of myself, due to her and my personalities being almost identical back then. But thanks to WoD and RotS, Ghost's gotten some MAJOR character development, which is awesome. And one of the reasons why I ADORE those two RP's. One of the other reasons? All the other people in the RP's! Bah, I love ya guys! XD)

Heya Megna! Wondered where you've been hiding!

Pokemon-wise Christmas was alright. My daughter for a sneasle and riolu plushies, and I got some HG TGC packs, and the Mamoswine deck. I was going to buy the Pokepark wii game, but my BF really wanted to get Medal of honor and didnt quite have enough so I bought Monster Racers for the DS instead and gave him the rest of my money so he could get his game.

Dragon Racers is a neat fun game. You get monsters and you race them, later you can "breed" monsters. the racing is pretty simple, run, jump, collect coins for prize money, get meat to power a turbo charge move, use monStars to shoot at and befriend wild monsters. though the difference in monstar styles kinda bugs me, some look really cool and well done and others are very simple and lowgrade design, But, It is a fun game.

[Senna-Umbreon]

*Goes and checks Serebii like she normally does everyday* ...... *Starts spazzing out like crazy* BLACK AND WHITE ARE BEING RELEASED IN THE US THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMGOGGMGOGOGKGGMGMGMG

...

......

........

Ahem. Yep. Apparently the games are coming out March 6th. Holy heck, that's a LOT sooner than I expected. ... OH WELL!!!


In other news. Not much Pokemon stuff for Christmas this year. I DID get the PokePark game for the Wii, though, which is awesome. And I also got Super Smash Bros. Brawl.. Which is pretty epic (If I wasn't stuck at one of the first stages that is >.>).

[rubybeam]

Jasi the starvia lv.24
Blip the drifloon lv.24
Stunky

random pokemon that should fill here

[Makoes]

I dont generally use ghost pokemon, not sure why...but I am raising up a Duskull evo, its going to be def/s.def, wall type pokemon, but I dont have any ideas on what type of move-set to give it. It will probably need moves it learns through leveling up/tm/hm's since its already half trained, and I havent got the whole breeding for moveset thing figured out yet.
Also I have a Bstiodon thats in the same boat as the duskull...not a clue on def/s.def type movesets or stall tactics.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Aww, you're missing out on the amazingness that Ghost Pokemon are!! XD Seriously. Ghost types are awesome. Especially Gengar. It RULES (Except when a certain Gengar plushie decides to stay at home in bed during the holidays... (AKA, my Gengar plushie ended up getting left at home by accident (He was in my bed. Where he had been with a bunch of other plushies on Christmas Eve. I can't believe I didn't even notice that he wasn't with the other plushies when I went downstairs in the morning..))) And... ... Okay, I could go into a whole darn post about how Ghost types are awesome.. But I did that a few months ago and just about scared the heck outta everyone in the thread, so I'm not gonna do that again! XDDDD

[rubybeam]

I agree i'm having a heck of a fun time with blip and I can't wait for the little bugger to evolve!
