"I am the bone of my sword."

I used to have a Vaporeon Pokemon card as a child, holographic as well so I've kind of had a nostalgic soft spot for Vaporeon. The same reason that Articuno is my favorite of the 3 Legendary birds. One Chrstimas when I was very young, opened up a pack of Pokemon cards and got me a holographic Articuno. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, especially considering how rare such cards would be in those packs.

My first shiny Pokemon card was a Nidoking and that's my all-time favourite Pokemon.

I never had a Nidoking card. Wish i did because Nidoking is pretty darn awesome.

Of course my all time favorite Pokemon was Scyther and getting it's card was a bit different than usual. During Elementary we had this little thing in class where we could earn fake money to turn in for prizes. Someone had this holographic Scyther card and I was like...I freaking need this thing. So I gave em 50 dollars and got me a Scyther card. It was very much worth it.

I think its about time we got ourselves another tournament running since its been awhile since our last one. I certainly don't mind doing random but I also wouldn't mind kind of building on our teams and putting them against one another. I'm wondering who else would be interested in doing another Pokemon Tournament and if you'd rather do "random" or build your own team.

So rather than a run of the mill Nuzlocke, I decided to go for a randomiser just as a bit of fun, using Emerald. I randomised all Pokemon, trainers names and stuff, field items, TMs & movesets, abilities. My starter choices were Sudowoodo, Furret.....and Zapdos. So chose Zapdos of course. It has Cute Charm as an ability and started with Shadow Ball & Steel Wing, so not too shabby. My first capture was a Spinarak. At first I was underwhelmed because despite liking it's evolution line, it's not exactly powerful......but this is a randomiser and low and behold she had the ability Pure Power, which doubles it's attack stat, so it's now a god damn badass. It's two moves are Recover and Razor Wind though, so not too good since Razor Wind takes two turns.

Sorry for the double post, but this topic's been dead for a few days.

I've decided to start completing the Pokedex, with the aim being to have every Pokemon in order on Pokemon Bank. With the Pokemon I already have (including all the legendaries minus Meloetta), I think I have around 150-200 of the 721, so I'm already about 25% of the way there. I think I should be able to do it with all the games I own, but it'll probably take a while.

Yeah, I've been taking a bit of break from Pokemon but I feel it is time to start doing something again. I might try out a Black 2 Nuzlocke, blind I might add as I've never actually gone through the whole game. What I have done though, just the fact that the Pokemon variety is much larger is a breath of fresh air compared to Black. I won't lie, I never even got past Victory Road (and it's a miracle I got that far) before I just stopped playing. I've never had a Pokemon game literally bore me to the point where I wanted to stop.

The only thing I want to do is pick my own Starter It's hard to use Unova's Starters when they suck balls and unfortunately there is no "Contrary" here.

I also wouldn't mind attempting another Platinum Nuzlocke.

Yeah, I think I've mentioned it before but I was so underwhelmed by Gen 5 that I stopped playing Pokemon for a while. I've played them through since and enjoyed it a lot more, but it's still my least favourite Generation by a long shot.

Edit: Made a lot of progress, just around 50% done. I imagine it'll get harder the more progress I make because at the minute all I'm really doing is catching available Pokemon and evolving/breeding them. Side note: the evolution/hatching music is now etched permanently into my brain.

It's been a while since I've been here, I'm sure all of you are enjoying your Pokemon Sun/Moon.

I've started myself a blind Black 2 Nuzlocke just to kind of pass the time and have a little fun and well...

We started off with Erikson the "Oshowatt" and along our journey caught ourselves Amy the "Lillipup", Cassie the "Purroin" (whom i did not realize was male at the time) and Erean the "Patrat" we made our way through, built up our team a bit, ran into Neo Plasma an got Frustration (whoo...) went to the Normal Gym and what do you know?

Erikson lost to a Lillipup.

Like...Starter...already gone. And you know what I did? Usually I'd release them as per Nuzlocke rules...but I thought this Oshowatt was such a resounding failure of a Pokemon that I was going to put it in a separate box titled "GARBAGE" yes in a nice capital letters..where it will always be reminded of it's stupidity. I hope it feels bad..because it is.

So wish me luck. :)

I never release them, I just put them in a box marked 'R.I.P.' just in case I ever complete a Nuzlocke (HA) and wanna keep the Pokemon I used during that run. Yeah, always sucks to lose a starter so early on since they're usually one of the better Pokemon you'll come across during the run.

Still in the process of completing my 'dex. I think I'm closing in on 600 now, if I haven't gotten to that mark already. I've pretty much caught everything, just a matter of evolving/breeding the ones I do have (there are a few stragglers that you can only get on Mirage spots that change daily, and I'll have to play Y to get the version exclusives I'm missing). The most annoying thing is going to be acquiring enough evolution stones to evolve all those that need it. You can only find one or two of the non-Fire/Water/Leaf stones, so you have to get them via Super Training, which I'm bad at, or battling Inver, which is unreliable.

I wish Wednesday would hurry up though, I'm itching to play Moon.

Got a question for you Pokemon people. I've been having some fun, playing a few games and I'm sure all of you are just enjoying that Sun/Moon. One day maybe I'll get a 3DS. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I want to talk about doing another tournament but not just any tournament. I want to talk about doing a big DBZf Pokemon tournament with rewards.

That's right, with rewards, like money, colorful names, etc. Now I can't necessarily promise name colors, but I think it would nice to offer the winner maybe $15-20 in Amazon or something. But before I can do this, I want to see if there's a good bit of interest in doing this. If so, I'll talk to staff and maybe we get a few rewards down for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

At the very least, I myself can offer a little reward. But I want to make sure there's a good deal of interest first.

That's the plan, I'm not sure if we'd do just random like before or have you all build your own teams but we'll get to that when and if the time comes.
