In order to try save the forum from fainting, I, much like Team Rocket, have come up with a nefarious plan and decided to start another one of these off topic/general chit chat threads. Anyone is welcome to post and the only rule is to keep it friendly

*idea completely original and totally not stolen from tattoos & piercings.

It's not that bad... Activity recently hasn't been the best, but it's still better than other forums I sub to! (like Halo and Eve Online...)

Plus we're all (well all except me who is satisfied with the Jap version!) still waiting for HG/SS :P

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to carry around my Pokewalker without my wife or workmates noticing it...

Here, can someone recommend me a team for Emerald story mode? I'm headed towards the 4th Gym (just left the town with the 2nd Battle Tent) and trying only to catch and train 6 pokemon so I don't get bogged down in trying to keep 200 of the little buggers at the same level. So I ended up with a Mudkip, a Ralts, a Lotad, a Taillow, an Aron and a Mantyke with a Nincada for Flash and Cut and a Marill for Rock Smash and Strength, as required. Worked out ok so far with all the bug, rock and water types getting beaten down with ease... But it turns out Lotads are ****e. Any suggestions of what I should be using to get me to the finish line in as short a time as possible, assuming that whatever it is I have to catch it in the game at my current level?

I'd suggest dropping the Lotad and maybe picking up a Roselia instead? Lotad are quite ****e indeed, and seeing as you already have a Water-type in your Mudkip. And maybe drop the Mantyke as well. Water really isn't the greatest later on as you'll be having trouble with the later boss fights.

Also run on ahead a bit to the Fiery Path and grab a Fire-type.

Yeah but just to try keep the conversational juices flowing before it becomes dead

I have the Jap versions too but I still want to wait for the English versions. It's just not the same when you can't read what's going on :P

Get a secret pocket put in all of your clothes, sorted!

Damn straight Damo!

CianRyan

Yeaay!
I love these threads, I rarely post in anything other than O.T.B. in T&P anymore. haha

I'm going hiking in the snow tomorrow and I just bought loads of things for mountaineering. Wahey!
That means I don't have my nose pierced though, which was that original plan... Wahh:mad:

Atavan-Halen

Lol :P

Yay and boourns

I asked my mam about my nose and she said she'll think about it =/ (I have a deal with her no facial piercings until I'm 18, but can get whatever on my ears)

Konata

Oh hai.

Atavan-Halen

I see you've decided to join us

Ah sure might aswell.

Mr. Burns FTW. This reminds me that I haven't seen The Simpsons in... years. Well. Last year. The episode when they came to Ireland was the last one I seen I think. Damn not having any TV channels in college

Atavan-Halen

:eek:

Like 0 channels?

Konata

Yup. There's no reception in our apartment. They said someone would come fix it ages ago but they never did

CianRyan

That's just a tad mental, I need a bit of TV.

When are you 18?
My mam and dad never really cared about what I get pierced. Mam still thinks I'm mad for stretching my ears though. haha

Atavan-Halen

Damn! I'm on the computer nearly all the time, but I do like the tv on in the background.

May, so not long now My mam would sooner me get a tattoo than a piercing :P

Banjo

Get a tattoo on your face. Of a nose/lip ring. See how she feels about facial piercings that can be taken out for family occassions then....

CianRyan

Get upside down crossed on your face.
She'll love them.

Atavan-Halen

Haha, I should get face tattoos. I wonder how she'd react. Hmmmm.....

How is everyone this Friday? I for one am very tired. I had a nap earlier

soccymonster

Is partyatmygaff here?!!!


...Awww guess not

Atavan-Halen

He posted once, but that was about it. Ask the Admins to make a site announcement :pac:

soccymonster

Haha... I wish! :pac:

The Den has been taken over by the young 'uns.

I feel intimidated.

Thank God. I was getting a bit scared reading over the last 6-7 pages of banter

How's you this evening?

I'd say it's a compliment that I, who am at least 3 years older than you, felt intimidated

Alrighty. Made it home and went for my spin out to Strandhill. It was dark by the time I got there though, and raining, but still... something about the sounds of waves... very calming.

Atavan-Halen

Nice, I love just sitting beside the sea and listening to the waves, it's so peaceful.

Tis mighty stuff. Have you ever seen Akira?

Atavan-Halen

Yes I have the special edition DVD but I fell asleep halfway through it

It was 4am or something though when I was watching it.

I watched it on the train home today and got some very strange looks from the people sitting around me

There's some really weird stuff near the end... still pretty good though. Watch it (properly)!

Atavan-Halen

Yeah I've been meaning to, preferably sometime when I'm not liable to fall asleep :P I still have to read the rest of Death Note and watch it too.

I've never seen/read Death Note but my friend keeps telling me too. So much to watch, not enough hours in the week

Btw, been meaning to ask for awhile, is your username in reference to the FOB song or something else entirely...?

Atavan-Halen

I know, but do get around to it because although I'm not far into it, it's awesome so far!

Yeah it is I was a big fan of them when I joined

YUS! I figured it out all.by.myself.

*so proud*

Atavan-Halen

Woo!

Do you like them too?

Yup. Haven't really listened to them much recently but I suddenly remembered 'atavan-halen' awhile ago and was like, AHA!*



*I swear I have other things to do with my life than cracking boards usernames >.<

Atavan-Halen

Lol :P What does yours mean?

*I'm too lazy to look for an answer

Poor effort It's the name of a character from Sailor Moon - Hotaru Tomoe who is actually Sailor Saturn, the 'soldier of destruction'. I just love her. Apparently Hotaru is also Japanese for 'firefly'.

So yup, there ya go

Atavan-Halen

Sorry It was too much of an effort to go to google :P

I'm disappointed, I thought you just loved Van Halen...
Hahaha

Atavan-Halen

Well I do like Van Halen but no, it's not where my UN came from

CianRyan

More people should be like me, it's a lot less confusing that way.
But, it is a lot more cringe worthy when people ask what my name is...

Atavan-Halen

Just wondering does anyone want to swap a copy of Leaf Green for Fire Red? I have 2 copies of Fire Red and I don't really need 2 :P

Banjo

I'll swap you a dodgy copy of Emerald.... Or a GH Les Paul for the Wii.
If you don't find a swapsie, I'd offer to buy it if only that didn't probably violate the charter.

Atavan-Halen

Nah I'd prefer to just do a swap for LG.

I already have a legit and a "legit" copy of Emerald :P

Konata

This video was shared with me last week and I have decided to pass on it's wonderfulness:

It actually gets funnier everytime I watch it.

How are all the pokémaniacs out there doing?
