I almost added Pancham, until realizing I have a Talonflame. I didn't want the feeling of forming a random Kalos team. I'm so desperate for an electric type that I seriously might go all the way back and get a mareep. EXP share nullifies grinding. My only regret would be not doing this earlier. I might look up the different electric types, because none encountered so far appeal to me.

Oh. It wasn't meant as anything negative. I can see how I came across that way. I think it's natural. I spent so many years with that community. I joined in 2010 when I was underage, and stuck with that community for a very long time. It's normal here to feel like an outsider. So much unfamiliarity and it's way bigger. I'm thankful you and others would still speak me with me of course.

Mood wise, I'm perfectly doing fine. In high spirits.

Yeah that's different perspectives. I don't mind alternative accounts or care about keeping my files together. If you have Pokemon Bank (pokemon home? i'm not up to date). you could just transfer the team to your main account at the end. It's an idea...i think. I'm not sure if that would work on the same switch.

I didn't like that about Sword/Shield. Onix shouldn't be the size of my trainer. I'm still hesitant to use Pokemon I don't like. I desperately need something for water types, but I don't care much for Eletevire. I could trek backwards and get a mareep, if it's available in moon. Legends of Arceus is approaching closer, I'm very excited for this one now. I've heard positive things.

The kongregate flash gaming forum. Flash shut down in 2020. They sold themselves to a mobile gaming company, who knocked out the social features of the website, including the forums. The main appeal was being a very sociable website, so it's like the plug is being pulled. It'll be gone within a year I predict. Sad, because I grew up on it. I made my account after I turned 10 years old. Pokecommunity is nice, but there are times I feel like an outsider. I didn't join here until way later than most of the regulars. I spent the majority of my years online with that other community. Sorry for the ramble.

Being a student sucks in some ways, but is good in others. I learn better working than in a classroom though :B

I like what I do, though I'm not necessarily a big fan of my job. There are some nice people there, but I feel like we all get somewhat shafted pay-wise. Not getting any offers anywhere else but I'm building my experience and years for my resume so at least there's that.

I played Let's Go Pikachu until Sabrina. Kanto is one of my lesser favorite regions. You don't have to restart your file. You can just create an alternate switch account. I love the art style, and the following pokemon scale in size too.

My fire type is a Fletchinder. I was stuck using Flame Charge. I think it'll be fine when she evolves, and likely my only loss towards him. My team is Brionne, Mudbray, Fletchinder, and Misdreavus. I'm on the third island. In that phase where everything is about to evolve so I'm expecting a huge power boost. I need something to deal with water types, and I want to use an alolan form. I'm thinking about Exeggutor, but it comes late.

There was one forum I stuck around on (it just shut down for good yesterday), the highest post count was 42,500. Also considering I do get messages on here frequently is enough to keep me around, it gives me something to do when I log on and don't feel like posting.

I did finish Final Fantasy 8. The entire gimmick of the final boss was that she had a bunch of moves that bring your entire party to 1 HP.

I might play Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee instead. I never finished those. I agree with what you said. I would prefer playing old games on an original console. That's an unfortunate downside of being born in the 2000's. Those consoles and cartridges are insanely expensive. My only option is hoping they are kind enough to add them on virtual console. Or emulation. And they discontinued virtual console for switch.

Hau had a leafon. Even with a fire type, it was just too bulky. I still don't have an electric or grass type, so i'm avoiding the water routes and fishermen.

It's been a goal for me to hit 1,000 for a long time. I started at 400. Over a year and I progressed to 900. This next thing isn't a goal, but I noticed I'm nearing 10,000 posts on here on pokecommunity. If I make 2,000 more. I never thought I would stay on a forum for that long, as I usually drift.

Oh. I looked up some dates. Pokemon Snap actually came before Pokemon Stadium. Also, New Pokemon Snap came out April 30th 2021, and Pokemon Stadium came out April 30th 1999. Maybe that was intentional? I wish I could have experienced Stadium. N64 emulation isn't very good. I might buy Pokemon Yellow on my 2DS.

I lost to Hau. The game actually continues like nothing happened, except it removes his dialogue about being defeated. I looked at some of the leaks. I like Samurott and dislike Typhlosion. Did the leaks influence your decision at all?

Wow. I didn't know it had a mobile version. I'm going to charge up my phone just so I can see this. Unrelated, but I'm closing in on a 1,000 chess rating. I've been trying to do this for a year and a half, off and on. It's exciting.

...I was not a good student >.>

Oh I don't mean work at home, I mean when I get back into the office I have to catch up on work. Though I do wish my office could allow work from home, I would prefer that.

The original Pokemon Snap didn't have many pokemon. I played it on the Wii Virtual Console. I still liked it. It doesn't look very pretty though. I guess for the time it must have been cool seeing the pokemon in 3D

I haven't lost a battle yet, i'm getting curious if I will make it through the game without whiting out. I'm very excited for Legends Arceus. There's much information now coming out about the game, and it looks so fun.

I don't know what Hometown Story is so I looked it up. The reviews are quite low. As far as 'life sim' goes, there's a game called Fantasy Life which seems to be the most popular (excluding animal crossing). Why didn't you like it?

I did play Xenoblade right before and my expectations for FF10 might have been a bit too high. That was a great game.

That sounds unpleasant, I'm sorry that happens :(

I have been bamboozled into trading, I want my cold back ; 3;

I got the day off today, but I dread going back into work on Tuesday. In school, days off meant fun but in work days off means needing to catch up on work rip.

I can understand. That's why I've been hurrying to finish FF8. I likely won't want to play it anymore when the legends game releases. I haven't played New Pokemon Snap much either. I was desperate for a speed up button, unless maybe I missed something because I don't think it had one. I quit about halfway through.

I finished the grass trial this morning (on my first try). I guess I'll box butterfree soon. It's sad, but these early bug types do tend to struggle the more you hold onto them. I caught a fletchinder. It was difficult. The ally totem pokemon knew rock blast. Lurantis had power herb solar blade + synthesis. I got lucky with confuse ray.

Not sure. I didn't play FF14, or FF15. I played FF13 because it was raining and I was bored. I ended up beating the entire game. Then I tried 6 (it was good). 7 was okay, the remake was much better. I like 8 more than 7, but less than 6. SNES graphics are pretty looking. They remind me of indie games.

I really didn't have fun playing 10. I've probably mentioned that already. Then forced myself to finish because I used a $50 birthday gift card.

2 years o.o

I always forget the southern hemisphere has different weather lol, I'm sorry you have to deal with the heat though ;.;

We have a mask mandate here too, and my workplace requires everyone to be vaccinated + masked up and anyone who has a vaccine exemption to be tested regularly.

It sucks that we still need to mask up but at least it acts as protection for my face from the cold :B

Wow that is big news, congrats! Stuff like that has a bad reputation for being slow so I hope your visa is approved soon D:

How's moving countries been? Has Australia been treating you well?

Oh. I wasn't actually meaning to convince, more so was just talking about it. That's nice though. I would definitely play 11 first. If you liked 11, 8 is the most similar. 7 is one of the lengthiest RPG's of all time. It's on 3DS, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you like the series. It's $39.99 and can start to feel like a commitment.

I just started the grass trial. I have a Brionne, Misdreavus, Mudbray, and a Butterfree. It's not a great team for this. None of the volcano fire types interested me. I thought about picking up bagon, but not in the mood to go through 50 levels this time. I'll get some sort of alolan form. I already used alolan muk last time.

I've never heard of wicked. Not surprising because I haven't read many books. I'm reading a horror novel by Stephen King. I was worried about my comprehension not being up to par, because it's been so long since I've read a novel. It's been perfectly fine.

Have never played sudoku either. I still play chess online most days, sometimes i just solve chess puzzles. Nothing to do with trying to improve memory, mostly it's fun and keeps me entertained. I'm almost finished with Final Fantasy 8. I might complete it tonight. It's okay. I like it more than most of them. Having been born in the 2000's, I don't have nostalgic feelings for many 'classic' titles. I still love trying them. Pokemon Red/Blue were so charming. The pokemon felt and looked much more like real world animals.

I've been doing good! Except for my job which is just stressful D: I got to see my QPP (queer platonic partner) in-person for the first time this past year and that was definitely the highlight of 2021 for me.

It's nearly 1am for me so hearing that you're playing Pokemon GO is like ???

Anything new going on for you?

Hello there :B

How have you been?

Oh no :o
Sending you good luck, may the Hax be by your side! I haven't planned the challenge around all games but simply tried to find a level limit that would work well enough across all of them... maybe Fire Red is just not a good game for this? ù_ù

In a way, I agree. I do think the series is a higher quality than Pokemon. Even after 11 games, they seem to pour everything into them. There isn't a single 'weak' game. Dragon Quest 6 and 7 are considered the 'worst'. They aren't bad games. Just extremely long. The original DQ7 could take 150 hours for the main story. They chopped it down on the 3DS remake. There was so much random filler. I could go on and on about the series forever, so hopefully I'm not rambling too much.

I'm still playing Moon. I love the Alola region so much. I don't know why, but I enjoy these games immensely. It might, honestly, become my favorite region. The variety of pokemon is so good. I also love the cast of characters. (Hau, Lillie, Professor Kukui). It's almost becoming like a comfort game that just makes me feel better. It's my 4th time going through this region. Once on the original sun, twice ultra sun, now moon.

I bought a monopoly game on PS4 for my younger cousin with the gift. Apologies for the slow response. Needed a new laptop charger. Also might have been evident from how I was typing about the gift, but very anxious in general. Stuck with an anxiety disorder is no fun at all.

I did get 800 pages into a novel. I haven't read a book in a few years. (aside from when school forces it). I'm really enjoying it.

Aw... yeah, I surely didn't plan for all games did I? But I guess it's not super bad with no other restrictions - and also, Bulbapedia is your best friend ♡
You got this Janna!!

Janna! ♥♥♥
Hope you're doing fine - and of course, thanks for joining the Lampent Challenge and trying it out on yet another game! Wishing you good luck on your run :wavereep:

I should mention that Dragon Quest is a very peculiar series. If you've played one, you've technically played them all. The series is built on "never changing", so they all follow the same formulas. Same battle systems, same sound effects and music. The only thing that changes are the party members and story. (and location). The games are also very lighthearted. It never goes too crazy like Final Fantasy. It's basically the complete opposite. The party members usually have very blatant tropes. (like overly manly serious guy, outspoken person), you catch my drift.

Are you still playing Sword/Shield? Since you said you miss the switch games, I might assume not. I stopped playing them as soon as I finished the story.

I got my gift from @Fairy, which was a $25 gift card for amazon. I already said thanks, as much as I could express it. It's the kindest thing somebody online as done for me.

I don't understand the hisuian stuff. I thought the region was sinnoh.
