I went to my Senior Prom as Tuxedo Mask, not even joking.
Well you're in luck, the new Sailor Moon anime is supposed to be more faithful to the original Manga!

Not yet. I've been busy watching shows I haven't seen yet like IDOL@STER, Girls und Panzer, Tamako Market, Hyouka, etc.
was making pretty good progress in ruby. then I got to the fortree city gym...good lord. I got demolished. my team consists of
lv29 voltorb
lv23 aron
lv35 combusken
lv17 swablu
lv26 manectric
lv27 pelipper
the only reason I have manectric is because I caught him at lvl 26...was too lazy to catch a low level electrike lol. aron is because aggron is badass...too bad he doesn't evolve to lairon until 32 and aggron at 42
and when I caught swablu, I had dreams of raising a beastmode altaria...but swablu sucks.
I sure hope my friend has his action replay still haha.

I'm actually rewatching Tamers for the first time since first seeing it as a kid at the moment. It's still pretty cool, although the first half was super slow. When you get around to watching it PK...push through, it's worth it!
Gurren Lagann is definitely in my top ten, and it's one of the only 'giant robot' series that I've liked. Other fans series include Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, Eden of the East and Monster.

Use the Castform it comes with an Ice move haha, I actually beat Atalria with Hail + Powder Snow combo once.
Manetrike or Electrode should be able to handle Skarmory and Pepplier with Thunderbolt, Shock Wave can bypass Swllow's Double Team.
manectric took out swellow with one tbolt. then altaria comes out and I send out castform. manage to start hail and use powder snow one time. aron and combusken got ohko'd by eq. pelipper managed to confuse altaria who hurt itself in it's confusion but was only confused for one turn (such bullshit). then breloom comes out and uses mach punch, taking out about half altaria's remaining hp. altaria ohko'd breloom...and effect spore poisons altaria! I send manectric out and altaria faints from poison lol. manectric then proceeds to ko skarmory and pelipper. all in all, a pretty lucky battle
not looking forward to the twins.

I want to slap this board for ignoring shows like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and a bunch of 70's and 80's anime.
But much like 02's other characters, his backstory isn't really pushed out a lot and instead gets swept under the rock.
I definitely agree on rerolling a lot of Pokemon's stats but I don't think GF has ever done that. At most they usually add an evo that fixes stats.

Ignoring what now? I could have sworn I voted it anime of the year 2012 even though only like 3 episodes actually aired last year.
And those three episodes were AMAZING

I'd start from the bottom and go up. You only really need to watch 3 arcs of Reborn before it jumps the shark a little too high for my taste, plus it's always good to save the best for last.
Alternatively, start with Hellsing Ultimate because it's only like 12 episodes.
Thanks, I'll give that a look.
Except it's not the "darkness" that I like about any of those shows (I wouldn't really consider Akibaranger and TTGL dark at all, really) it's the self awareness. Tamers takes the core themes of Digimon (kids teaming up with MONSTARS INSIDE UR PEECEE) and plays around with it in interesting ways. It's like the writer overheard some kids talking about "how cool it would be if Digimon were real" and decided to make a show about how wrong they were. It does have some dark elements, but I don't like it because of the darkness nor would I consider it a dark show.
TTGL and Akibaranger also feature that self awareness, but cranked up to 11. It's that "The rules of this universe are stupid, but I'm going to exploit that to my advantage" craziness that I love. Having characters realise that hot-bloodedness is the strongest force in the universe and using it to power their giant robots is great. Having a fanboy of people fighting in rainbow coloured suits figue out he's simply a character in an (unofficial) iteration of that same franchise is spectacular.

*thinks he should start compiling statistics for "days between Pokémon Community Thread goes into non-Pokémon mode"*
Or days between mega hype thread mode and being relegated back to community.

*opens his just-redeemed copy of Microsoft Excel 2013*
So nice.
*starts inputting data*
So it took 23 days between thread open and close for the last on.
In every single Pokemon game I've played, I've never had as much success at gyms with an evenly levelled, evenly matched team of Pokemon, as I have with one or two highly levelled Pokemon (usually my starter and one other). Just make sure they have at least 2 or 3 types of attack under their belt and you can steamroll. If it ever gets tight, judicious use of items, FTW.
Also, damn, is it bad that I'm 28 but still had fun spinning around my bedroom last night playing Dream Radar for the first time? lol

I just treat Pokémon as if they were any other JRPG for the most part. Works, too, especially when you're dealing with PMD.
*highfivepawclaws*
I used to go through the game just leveling my starter and catching high level Pokemon along the way, never leveling them. Only in gen 5 I started training an even team, with all the party coming into play. The biggest reason for that is the new EXP system. Can't go easily back to the old one. Well, that and Audino.
So now you're officially a Chespin?

Why does Nuzleaf have nipples? It baffles me.
It is the most common thing touted by fans though. And honestly I don't like how they tried to mesh it with "realism". But eh...
Also for TTGL and Akiba it's not dark. I guess it's my bad on putting "same". It's mostly your reasoning on why I don't like it. Self awareness is fine but not if it tries paint itself one like an attention whore.
I guess I mean thread, not board.

Or maybe I want to be a Haxorus anyway.
If you really want to see bad self-awareness, just look up some sprite comics from around 2003-4. It's like there was a rule of thumb that "if the characters make a joke about how lazy pallette swaps are once a month, then it's OK to keep liberally using pallette swaps." Self awareness is not a tool to lampshade the flaws of the author/artist and hope that makes everything better. Akibaranger, TTGL and Tamers earn their self-awareness and put it to good use.

For me, self-awareness that tries to be... transparent... is terrible. As for TTGL that's just not my only problem. I already said my pangs on it.

Oh, I missed the claws part.
So I guess you are part Chespin part Haxorus.
A cute, cuddly Haxorus for some reason.
To be exact:
("Chibi Haxorus, I guess by ununununium" from the file name on my disk - he's probably on deviantART.)

Before i enter the link, I'm going to guess the artist is female. Am I right?

Yes. (How'd you know?)
The problem is money.
Otherwise I'd buy plushes of all Pokemon. Or most.
And what is there at the end of the library that bliped your radar? Those dragons?
Of course.

If I could, I'd have them all... but I have limited room space to deal with. I wish I could have a life-sized Haxorus
Remember that thread?

That thread sure was one heck of a wild ride.
I had to be a lurked simply because I had no educational address until I got into uni and my original ISP email is banned and can't be used for registering. This went for half a decade, perhaps even more.

Psychic powers!
I just figured out where your name came from chet while playing paper mario the thousand year door again.
He was in the original Paper Mario too.
If you had a Pokemon would you dress them up?
Yes. I have to say I enjoyed the dress-ups in B/W.

At most, I would give a Pokemon a hat. And that's if hold items didn't exist.
Which is probably why he posted a Pikachu.
Anyway, I looked through the DA gallery of the artist we talked about above, and some things here might be nice avatars for the future:
But I am Gaf friends with him! What gave me away lol.

Also. Episode 4 is done being recorded, editing now. Be prepared for an unknown amount of heartache/joy.
