Will be very interesting with a global launch then
Ugh fuck, I just realized that yeah. Guess the only thing to do is to bite the bullet and pick a version since I can't get both.

I don't think I'm gonna get X/Y at launch. Los Santos is calling me.

I think I must be crazy, because this wild idea of trying to get all the pokemon on my Black 2 game so that I can just be current going forward has been with me for a while. I have soul silver and black 2. I have an app that can create any pokemon on my cell phone, but that made me realize just how badly I wanted to catch the ones I could on my own. I don't know how far I'll be able to take it with just the two games, but it's made Pokemon exciting for me again. I guess that's all I can ask for.

Erm, there's nothing lewd about that pic. At all 
Are we so prude that a friendly kiss to the forehead is bad now?

It's suggestive enough. Thread already is on some sort of probation, it's better to just take it to IRC.
Boss Doggie

I dunno, I honestly think a bunch of topics in OT are far more "lewd" than that. Really, one kissing to the forehead, the other thinking it's "love", then back to the one saying it's not love but just a friendly gesture ultimately breaking that other one's feelings is very, very tame.

Oh definitely, just surprised at the prudeness.
Now I want to know what it is out of curiosity....PM?

It all depends on the culture in question. When in doubt, assume a very prudish folk.

Chimchar was pretty darn good and Typhlosion was no slouch.

I have to disagree, Totodile was the coolest looking starter and he evolved into a killah, Turtwig and Piplup were cool but Turtwig evolved into a guy who got a 4x weakness to ice. Piplup did turn into a boss penguin but it seemed like EVERYONE and their mother had Earthquake and well...goodbye Napoleguin.
Anyone seen this? Quality's pretty nice. Someone probably snuck a recorder cable to plug in and rip all that delicious music. With all those kiosks at the PGS I wouldn't be surprised.

Because everything is lame relative to Charmander.

Just finished Liquid Crystal. Absolutely fantastic hack. Anyone else played through it?
Boss Doggie

You mean the other way around.
I just find the prudeness weird. Apparently a light romantic comedy image (which doesn't even have sexual tones at all) is more damning than an image banner with ass defined complete with a Torkoal ogling it at it, according to this thread. Is it an American thing?
In hindsight it feels like I shouldn't drop it at all.
Makes you wonder what image did they see at all. It's as suggestive as seeing a mom kissing her daughter to the forehead.

You knew exactly what you were doing posting that image, especially after Stump came in here once already. Stop playing dumb.
I'm going to bed.

Yes I am, I was sharing a rather hilarious sets of image with the punchline that it's coming from a rather inexpressive robot bug. Or is patting one's head or hugging considered a sexual undertone nowadays?

Considering your history of posting images, why shouldn't people be curious about your intent?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I keep it only in Furry GAF where it's somewhat allowed.
The only stuff I posted stuff (i.e. muscle) pics here was during Christmas where everyone and their Pikachu was drunk due to Christmas eggnog.
Totodile is clearly the best of the 2nd gen starters, but I'm with you, none of them are really amazing. And Chikorita is one of my least favorite starters throughout.

People hating on Totodile...
Seriously. Totodile was a total boss in the anime. And it can evolve into Feraligatr. What's not to like?

Boss Doggie, it's bad enough having to see your avatar; never mind anything else. You know that images like that are going to annoy people. Sure, some elements may not be that bad in a certain context, but the context in which they are currently is when you post them. Given your image post history, that's suddenly not a great context to be posting such images in.

These are all the starters I chose until Chespin. Going to decide between Fennekin and Froakie.

Gen 1: Squirtle because he evolves into a total boss with cannons.
Gen 2: Totodile because his base form is great and he evolves into a killah
Gen 3: Torchic...I'm not super fond of his final form but he's pretty powerful and I really liked Combusken.
Gen 4: Chimchar because he evolves into one of the best Pokemon ever in Monferno and he's really powerful. Shame he can't take a hit.
Gen 5: I guess Fire Pig, Fire Pig, does whatever a Fire Pig can do.
Gen 6: Fennekin...I like its design the most and it seems like it has the potential to evolve into a mystically powerful fox of fire...firefox...we already have a Nine Tails Pokemon so the potential for more Naruto jokes is out, alas.

Google search tells me I have to actually go by a gamestop? Not via ingame-gift?
... Does this apply to Canada as well?

Gen 1: Squirtle, because he really was my "starter"
Gen 2: Cyndaquil, flame wheels everywhere
Gen 3: Mudkip, Water/Ground is such a good typing
Gen 4: Chimchar
Gen 5: Snivy (I'm starting to worry about contary serperior ever seeing release)
Gen 6: Froakie, the water bending promotional shot kinda won me over. The potential Water/Fighting typing as well.

Totodile and Chimchar are clearly some of the best starters.
Gen 1: Bulbasaur because no one loves Venusaur besides me.
Gen 2: Cyndaquil. My first pokemon and has two of my favorite evolved forms, which are boss enough to share a rare move with Groudon (Eruption)
3. Mudkip. Water/Ground for life.
4. Piplup: It's evolved form has one of the most interesting type combinations and is friggin' Napoleon.
5. Snivy. It was the only line where I liked both the initial and final forms. That and contrary.
6. Froakie because NINJA FROG.
