I took an extra-long lunch break yesterday to trade pokemon via the GBS. I managed to get rid of one of my shitty little bug cocoons (the one covered in leaves) and trade it for a Haunter with some kid from Florida. Haunter evolves to Gengar, I trade Gengar (who was named with purely Japanese characters) to a kid in North Carolina for a Machoke, which of course became Machamp.
One of these days I'm actually going to level my Pokemon up past early 40s and beat this game but all that means is I'll have a national pokedex and I'll be stuck forever trying to 'catch 'em all' like poor Pork there.
Gabe is a mix of all three types isn't he?
He's in love with pokemon, probably TiVos the cartoon.
He would gladly have both versions in two DSLites so he can trade back and forth without worrying about getting ripped off or not finding someone to trade to his liking online.
And he loves playing with kids.
Gabe probably could have made the picture of the poketot a little less demeaning. Especially after one of them wrote him such a nice letter yesterday.

We'll get back there someday.

I hope we don't see that truck driver again. Seeing him once was too much for me.
That's alright. It looks like Gabe only actually drew him once (well, twice, both times in the first appearance). He looks like a straight cut-paste jobber from the original appearance.

Someone do a layover.
Just looking at the two it looks mostly the same, I think the cap, spots and pattern and colours are a bit different.
Fun Fact: My best friend from grade school was arrested in a sting operation targeting pedophiles. The odd thing is, He was lured by a fake account (setup by local police) on a community forum site I created. I didn't even find out until the police posted his mugshot and details on my site after the arrest.

ahahaha oh jesus porkfry's letter is priceless
I find it interesting for a few reasons which I will explain to you now.
It's like he's typing this crazy stream of consciousness shit. Like his hands are moving as fast as his mind can come up with these words, but too fast for his mind to connect all the words into coherent sentences. He's just catching words as they fall from his brain like some mad game of tetris.

Trust me, everything I write makes sense not only in my head as I'm writing it but my hands also understand what I'm asking them to write and they're cool with it.

That would make an excellent party game. Brain charades: Babble as much as possible, and the first person to make a coherent thought out of it wins.

lines of blocks adding up slowly
verbs and nouns falling rapidly
hands a blur as he madly races to place each one where it might fit, regardless of the overall construction
how long can he do this before the words pile up and reach the top, making him crash and start all over again?

Is it sad that I fully understood what Pork conveyed in the letter?
Oh, and the DS logo on the back of the Lite is drawn wrong. It's vertical, not horizontal.
I'm disapointed that a GIS for Brain Jenga didn't produce any fun and tangentially relevant shock images.

no, it's perfectly legible and understandable
the funny part is how it is assembled, as if it were the mad ravings of a homeless drunkard babbling about the spiderghouls that live in his brainshadow
We keep entertaining ourselves at Pork's expense, but I think he's largely come to terms with it. To the extent that any thought can germinate in his mind's arrid clime, I'm not sure our repeated betrayals persist very long. At any given moment, snips of old G.I. Joe commercials or wholly imaginary animals might hold sway.
This is a mail I received from him today, and I need to emphasize that this has not been edited in any way. At least once a week we receive one of these "newsletters," where he howls from the mount like some ragged Pokestradamus. I should make it clear that I have no idea what a "Living Pokedex" is, or why a man should toil to create one.
C:\Users\Pork\>pork.exe_
"On an update for the Living pokedex I'm creating, I've obtained 311 (but I'll have more once the eggs hatch)…(wow..that sounds really creepy). I spent most of yesterday renaming all of the boxes in the PC and placing the pokemon in their correct box based off of their pokedex number…
Ok so check this out…there are 18 boxes in the PC, each having 30 slots for a grand total of 540 slots. I find it interesting for a few reasons which I will explain to you now. Mind you I've not researched this beyond what theory is in my head, so this might be me looking too closely at it because the game is driving me mad…you be the judge.
We know there are a total of 493 pokemon that you can get. This counts for all of the legendaries and the pokemon from all the other games. So check this out.
1. Unown: There are a total of 28 different characters. One for each letter in the alphabet and then the ! and ?
2. Deoxys: Deoxys has 4 forms. There are asteroids in Veilstone city that if you touch them with Deoxys in your party he'll change which form he's in.
3. Wormadam: Wormadam starts out as Burmy, depending on where you fight (in the forest, in a building, cave) they'll get these different "cloaks" which if they stay in that cloak when they hit 20 (except for the male burmy) they become a "wormadam" but each is geared towards a different thing, I.e. Bug/Ground, Bug/Steel, etc…
Ok so what do all of these have in common? Regardless of the number you have, they all have the same pokedex entry number. I.e. Unown is 201 in the national dex. If you have the Unown that is the letter A its 201, if you have the ! it's also 201. Deoxys regardless of form is always 386.
With all that and in addition to the variants that they have like the Shellos that has an East and a West version, same with Gastrodon. I'm pretty sure there is enough space to have an instance of each pokemon (not necessarily an instance with a male and female version). That or they just wanted to have enough space to hold all the pokemon and then give you some room to still store other things without messing up your collection.
I think that it ultimately has to do with literally 'catching em all'."
>end
I mean, there are profundities here. It's like looking into a twisting hole in reality that has another hole inside it, snaking through the universe, and in this second hole a third hole is visible. In this third hole - should you look long enough - you can see your own death.

This comic reminds me of another story I can share about to poke tourny (not now, but later).
About the gaming stigmas that my friends and I saw on parade.

Back when I used to play the tcg in organized tournaments in the city, there was a 400 pound woman with four wailord EXs (google it) in her deck. Then there was an eighty year old German dude, and he was pretty cool.
my point is that people are like the pokemon they use. Take the 400 pound woman for instance.
