West Midlands= best of all worlds!
This is a lie. The West Midlands is largely horrible.
Haha, thanks. The interview was plenty nervy already.
I'm in a decent position, so fingers crossed.
I think I still have one. PM me later tonight if you don't find one elsewhere.
May I ask which college you'd be at? I seem to recall you'll be studying History; I have a friend who'll be in his second year at Keble doing your subject.
Also, guess what came in the mail?
Nostalgeargasm time.
Finally, if anyone needs any female DW Pokémon, I have a ton of them clogging up my game, making it harder to RNG. I accidentally got some twice, and it shouldn't be difficult to get more (no guarantees of a specific species). In fact, since I already have nearly every female I want, when I go to the Dream World, I could put up a list of Pokémon I can choose from and let GAF decide which one to take.
EDIT: Today's Dream World list is here! Which one do I pick?
Female Scrappy Taillow (Brave Bird)
Female Insomnia Delibird (Ice Shard)
Female Harvest Tropius (Leech Seed)
Female Sand Veil Phanpy (Seed Bomb)
Genderless Analytic Magnemite (Recycle)
Genderless Light Metal Beldum (Iron Head)
Male Vital Spirit Tyrogue (Feint)

I'm doing History and Politics at Jesus College.
What/ where are you studying at Cambridge?
ALL OF MY JEALOUSY.Also, guess what came in the mail?
Nostalgeargasm time.
Hmm... Not sure I know anyone at Jesus. I know two other people at Oxford, but they're not close friends. I think one's doing History as well, and the other Psychology and Politics. Those subjects seem to be pretty popular!
NOT QUITE
EDIT: Went with Taillow. Hitting Ghost switch-ins with Normal-type attacks sounds fun. Too bad it can't simultaneously have Guts.

Worth it, though.ALL OF MY SPARE STUDENT LOAN MONEYNOT QUITE
Which college are you at? I know a few people at Cambridge myself.
Churchill. It's not the most architecturally attractive college, and the student gender ratio is heavily biased towards males, but otherwise it's the best.
It wasn't when I was there. Wiseblade must be running things now or something.But London is smelly and icky.

Congrats on getting those soundtracks. It's a travesty they don't like to release soundtracks here...but I guess the market isn't there...=(

Bits of it are. London's so big that it's pointless to try and fit any one description to the whole city.
London>The North>Cornwall>The Midlands>The rest of the South
Importing isn't too bad. Shipping is quite expensive, but not wallet-destroying. Game Freak has put up the game soundtracks on the Japanese iTunes; I don't know how difficult it is to buy from there if you're not in Japan though.

You need a Japanese iTunes card, IIRC.

Well if I can get them off the Japanese Itunes store, I may do that instead!
On another note, we need more coral based Pokemon.
EDIT: What the...why can't Dragonair learn Dive?!

Why would you want to teach Dragonair Dive anyway?

That soundtrack is so HNNNNGGGGGGG

Well it's kinda complicated but...
What I mean is it can learn Surf and Waterfall, why couldn't it learn Dive?
I guess he can't breathe underwater. Which doesn't make sense...as he lives in the sea of Safari Zone anyway.
use it anyway.
what they said
Eggxecute order 66.
use it in game because natures only matter so much.
It did when my Impish Starmie only did 99% to Drakes Flygon in Ruby.
Then he killed me with Crunch.
That bastard.
They matter so much.

Well my day just went to hell so more of your newsletter sir.
The E4 in Ruby is so cheap.
Before that, the Ice Elite 4 hit me with a ONE HIT KO move.
Sheer Cold or something like that.
Fuck 3rd Gen Elite 4.

A taste of what the anime could've been like if it'd gone the Adventures route of actually changing protagonists instead of just having Ash start over every five years. The hair on the new characters is still ridiculous but I'm so hype for B/W2.

Roxie> all previous Gym Leaders.
Hey PokeGAF, I'm pretty sure I've never posted in here.
I keep getting up to "dungeons" and losing all motivation and not picking up the game for months at a time. Like, I've been on Victory Road in B/W for upwards of eight months now. I'll pick it up for five seconds, get bored, and put it down. It's weird because I love the world of Pokemon and the fiction and the mechanics of it all, but when I actually play the game I just sigh and put it back down.
I need motivation, PokeGAF. What should I do?

This is understandable, given the cave encounter rate in Black and White.
I recommend lots of Repels, and the knowledge that what comes after Victory Road is really frigging cool.

Agreed on Roxie being best Gym Leader.
Buy some Repels, watch a walkthrough on how to get through Victory Road without getting lost, and you'll be out there ASAP.

Perhaps you're getting tired of the Pokemon games themselves than the Pokemon. Depending on how Black and White 2 goes, it may start for me as well, I felt a slight bit of what you are referring to while playing Black.
But yeah, Repels are definitely nice for these situations.
I started getting it in Heart Gold. Just couldn't bring myself to finish it.
your avatar is amazing.

I haven't heard about the encounter rate, but Repels automatically renew themselves without the need to go into the bag now, which helps.
Now that I think about, Diamond and Pearl was actually the first time there was a moment where I felt I was forcing myself to beat the game. Platinum I didn't so much, HeartGold completely rejuvenated any of that, while the opposite for the next game for me.
However, I've played practically every version, and franchise fatigue isn't something new. I think it's the 2D to be honest, it's as if each game is the same in a way due to it.
i don't want to have to use repels, though.
BW is the only game in the series that i was forced into using repels.Same, I found DPPt to be dull and a chore to play through, I didn't even bother with the post game material.
I love White Version, I think its become my favourite.
For me it was just a singular moment, it wasn't something that kept occurring in Diamond and Pearl. In Black and White I literally stopped playing the game half way and didn't come back for months. I didn't do something that extravagant for any Pokemon game before, I'm just referring to a moment where I first got a similar feeling.
It didn't occur with Ruby and Sapphire as I enjoyed nearly every bit of it.
