I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
It's relatively fast though compared to Sinnoh...Episode 68 was when they reached the 3rd Gym Battle. Of course, Sinnoh had a lot of continuity and plot movement, so that long gap was pretty eventful.

Replaying X, and I forgot how pretty some of the scenery in that game is. The controls are a bit annoying after coming from Alpha Sapphire, and having 'Organize Boxes' back down on third place in the PC is terrible, but I'm really having a good time.
Playing with some Pokémon I've never really used is cool, too. I really like Braixen's animations for special attacks. Sylveon is cool, too.

Lot of plot stuff did happen in XY tho. For instance there's the evil Malamar which is hilariously enough making a return this Christmas.
Because when I think of Christmas, I think of mindflayers building something that Dr. Octopus was doing in the Spider-Man 2 movie.

Goomy ep preview
Also today's episode was great. The evil Malamar are apparently alien (?) and they drive trucks. Oh and there are good Malamar. And even after foiling their plans they still got their way.
As much as unlikely it is, I would really want it if we get a villain who is actually a Pokemon acting on their own volition.

And it counts for the Time Travel Award.

The one I have almost certainly is, too. I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.
Mine is Hasty nature, though. Better suited for mixed awesomeness.

Opened up a Sylveon plush today.
...So how do I avoid going into a spiral of buying more and more of these awesome things until my wallet explodes?

Speaking of plushies, I wonder if I've gotten anything funny in a Secret Santa event (off another community). I can't even check until January 6.

A huge RBY glitch was just discovered after nearly two decades: Body Slam can't paralyze Normal types.

Yeah, that's basically what I got after wonder trading on Christmas.
lol, that's amazing
Wow. Incredible that they're still discovering this stuff.
Hilarious, that was actually included as a tip in Pokemon Stadium and nobody even realized that.

So in a way, Gen VI sorta retroactively added it back but with less stupid requirements.
...how the hell was this not discovered earlier? Lol.

This is random but for Xmas I got a Nintendo 3DS (good times) with Pokemon Y and Omega Ruby, just playing through Y now and have the charazardite Y mega stone but was wondering if anyone would trade it for the charazardite X
would be really grateful if anyone could?
would be really grateful if anyone could?
If you don't need it immediately, you can get Charizardite X in Omega Ruby.
This has to win some sort of fridge award.

Right, the Xerneas I just caught in X:
Rash nature, 28-29/31/18-19/31/28-29/31.
Gonna bank him over to AS to check, but I reckon those are some pretty great stats.
Now I just need my Adamant Zygarde.
An Adamant Groudon and Modest Yveltal would be cool, but I can't catch those.
Will have to try and trade them.

Indeed. I didn't realise so many people didn't know this.

There are examples that go against that, like Psychic and Twineedle. Therefore there was no point in using that as a basis for making changes to an IRC bot because it was not 100% accurate to begin with.Hilarious, that was actually included as a tip in Pokemon Stadium and nobody even realized that.
It's something you wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it; you'd just assume you're having bad luck when you don't paralyze something. It doesn't help that there have never been many RBY tournaments on cartridges.
Most people assumed it was a completely wrong translation error, since there are plenty of moves with secondary effects that obviously still work against Pokemon of the same type (Psychic's stat lowering and Twinneedle's poison).
If you actually did know about Body Slam not paralyzing Normal types, you probably should have told people earlier.

Plot twist: It's pretty much a direct translation.

My Lanturn just solo'd two of the Kalos Elite 4. Really an underrated Pokémon.
I'd wager he gets destroyed competitively, though. No idea.
Also really grown attached to Sylveon, so much that I'm thinking of getting the one I'm currently raising in X over to my AS main team when I'm done.

Lanturn's a NeoGAF tourney winner. Be proud of the little guy.
In something like a Regional it wouldn't be nearly as effective though. lol

Good thing I don't really care about competitive play, then. :lol I just enjoy the building aspect of breeding/training a perfect Pokémon.
Well GAF does have a really crazy metagame. :lol
