    I've gotten Pokemon Black and started through it. I'm up to level 10-14 so far. Hope I can whip up a basic team by PAX.

    lfjsdkfjldskjf This breeding thing is a pain, and I have Essays and a senior research paper piling up OTL

    I'll probably just take my stunfisk out of my party and train this single sneasal I bred into a mightly weavile XD
    And After Pax east, I'll start up my swamp team.

    I'll either be a ground/water type specialist, or to give me some coverage, just any pokemon you'd expect to see in a swamp... centering around what I call mud pokemon XD
    Then I know I'll be set for next year!

    Oh a swamp team huh? Sounds pretty interesting! What are you breeding that Stunfisk for? I've been doing some side breeding and have a few around with egg moves.

    Soon, the Safari Zone will be overrun with Stunfisk and with only mud and bait to throw, you'll be helpless before their might.

    Stunfisk love mud! They revel in mud! AUGH, we will be doomed!

    Well currently I'm not breeding stunfisk, I just have one in my Black party, which if I put a weavile in I'll take it out because it's the weakest pokemon in my party. But I love it to bits.

    also guys I might not be able to bring Miror B to the con if I can't find stupid purple pants. If worse comes to worse I'll have mismatching purples between my pants and shirt next weekend I'll probably go back to Joanns and buy a ton of purple fabric, try to make pants and then make a matching top, because I cannot stand mismatching tops and bottoms of the same color if I can avoid it.

    I also have to write a senior research paper due at the end of the month, so I'll see how trying to do both of this goes... In case any of you were super interested by Miror B participating in the league.
    I may drop it unless people really wanna see it.

    I found this for you. Ditch the shirt and take off the buttons (and the front pockets if you're feeling extra crafty) and you're halfway there.:

    Yeah I've been considering that, but part of me has been going "GAAH It's not accurate!" Then again the shirt I got isn't quite accurate either XD

    I might get it, and if the pants match the shirt I already have use them if not then do what you said and get rid of the buttons and stuff. though it only comes in one size, which is concerining since I'm not actually sure if it will fit me. I don't wanna pay 25-35 dollars on something that might not fit right

    They better not find there way into the Safari Zone. I'm the one who is going to have to clean up that mess.

    How messy could a Stunfisk be? I mean they're just so... ah... adorable. And clean looking!

    Stunfisk is best pokemon (next to wooper)

    It's just so graceful and elegant yes?

    also I went out and bought fabric today, working on the pants, if I have time I'll make the blazer too, if not then I have a back up :)

    Remember we will be battling use Flat Battle rules, so your pokemon will be raised or lowered to Lv 50. This makes things more fun as anyone with B/W can join in even if they haven't been able to level up a team yet.

    Good to know! It's a mix of good and bad, but I know so little about Pokemon (strange for a gamer, I know) that I am learning a great deal every day about the game and all that it entails.

    I am not part of any official team as far as I am concerned but I'm looking forward to do a few battles here and there even if it just means that I'll be learning the ropes. I seriously doubt I will get the chance to play against other people before then.

    Hey, sorry if this is a stupid question, and maybe I'm getting this confused with the Pokecrawl, but is the name "Rivals" just a name, or are we actually supposed to designate rivals and battle them periodically? If the latter, are we supposed to report the outcomes of the battles or anything?

    It is not a stupid question! It is, in fact, and EXCELLENT question, because the latter is EXACTLY CORRECT! See Morganstern's link for more information. (And even more information about Rival Cards will be posted... SOON!)

    Whilst I was packing up everything I own to move, I stumbled across a small booklet from Pax. The dragon quest manual thingy. I thought I would take a look inside, and what do my eyes perceive? a wondrous little drawing by my dear friend Scunosi, in this drawing I felt her love of pokemon, and so granted her the plasma badge. However, most shamefully, I lost that wonderful drawing after PAX, though I promised to send her a picture of it.

    Scunosi, I have your picture! I am so sorry it took so long, and I hope that you can forgive me. I don't know if you feel comfortable with me posting it here, so email me and I will send it to you!

    3 WEEKS GUYS. AAAAHH.

    Ahem. So I'm thinking I might put together a hold item guide for the people picking up BW after a break from Pokemon battling. Assuming I'm not too drunk from this weekend.

    And now A Thing You Probably Know!:

    You probably know that there are many types of Pokemon, but did you know that there are not 8 or 9, but 17 different types?? Knowing how different types fare against each other could very well mean the difference between a glorious victory and a crushing defeat, so brush up on your type interactions with this handy chart:

    Hi guys. I have something that might interest you:
    DSC06900.jpg
    A Pokemon bag! I originally made them as dice bags, but an acquaintance said he's going to use one for his gym badges at PAX. I thought this was a neat idea and some of you might also be interested in doing that. I have a couple different insides:
    DSC06902.jpg

    If you want one, they are available in my Etsy shop, or you can contact me here on the forums. Let me know you're buying it for PAX, I'll donate $1 from the sale to Child's Play.

    Man oh man. To be honest, I figured you'd given up and fled in shame. :P It's been so long!
    Of course I'd still like a copy of it, though it's not quite as dire a feeling as before. You can post it if you want, but I'll shoot you an email, too, if I can figure out how.
