Glen-i

Right, I'm available for hunting this afternoon (Probably around 5pm). And I'm pretty sure @Ugh first aid will be hunting with me this time. Her friend just got Generations, so the chances are that there'll be one space available. So I'm just gonna go ahead and mention, @RedShell, @Deathjam and @Vileplume2000

Gotta simplify the game for all those Pokemon GO! scum, huh? Seriously though, this is the single greatest change in Pokemon since the Physical/Special split. On the other hand, I now feel like I've wasted my time spending days getting my shiny Greninja with 5 perfect IV's in everything but Attack. A tiny bit miffed at that. And it does kinda throw a spanner in my Speedy Groudon counter-Kyogre strategy which worked 100% of the time. Here's hoping that people don't have timid Kyogres... I wonder if Hyper Training provides a way to lower a Pokemon's IV's to 0? You don't always want the highest stats. A Trick Room team would hate to have 31 speed IV's. And special attackers would rather have the lowest attack possible to mitigate damage from Foul Play. Piece of cake with the Everstone. As long as one parent has the nature you need, you're set. If they're smart, they'll be redeemable prizes at the new Battle Frontier. And they're better be one after that disgusting tease ORAS broke my heart with.

I'll be in too!

Well, you definitely deserved it more than Dcubed did. I don't know how many times I've told him to get away from the Gypceros faking it's death, but he never listens. Anyway, right when you left, Ugh First Aid came home, so if anyone fancies a few hunts, I'm gonna leave my room open.

Wouldn't you have just ditched it for something else at that point? Struggling to wrap my head around that.

Well, seeing as how Ugh First Aid won't be joining our 5pm hunt, there's still one more space for someone. @Deathjam, @Vileplume2000, you're more than welcome to join in whenever. EDIT: OK, it's open. @RedShell, make like your name sake and follow me in here. If you're not on my friends list, the Hub ID is 32-5430-4188-8614 Passcode is 4444 like last time.

It's a very intriguing conundrum, that's for sure. Personally, I think they're closer to buying a WiiU retail game on the eShop. If it don't have no VC features, it ain't no Virtual Console.

Saw that on the news this morning. Absolutely no sympathy for them, but that's mostly because they were playing GO to begin with. Wow... That's one sick burn on Red/Blue. At least those games can run for an hour without crashing. Last week, BBC made me feel insulted for Gen 5. Now they make me feel sorry for Gen 1. They might as well go for all 7 gens. Why not? I'm sure they can get 5 more negative emotions out of me.

Oh my god! Serebii, you did it! Your life-long dream of getting on to the BBC by providing a database on all the Pokemon games has finally come true! Now you can go on the Graham Norton show and comment on how Pokemon GO! is the greatest Pokemon game of all time while secretly thinking, "He looks so weird ever since he grew a beard" Now you can close the site and rub it in Bulbapedia's face for all eternity! Seriously though. Is this an episode of the Twilight Zone or something? At this point, I'm starting to believe it. I mean, how else can you describe the latest Pokemon game ("Game" is a bit of a stretch) taking the world by storm and me being in the minority by not giving a damn? I'm expecting some super lame twist and it turns out I actually am a Kecleon or something and because that's Gen 3, I'm doomed to non-existence. Roll credits.

I didn't deserve that. It was such a well timed throw... Then again, that's what I get for purposely going for an actual family member, eh?

Hey, maybe I'll actually be able to finish all the online urgent quests this time then. That would be a first. Anyway, there's always the event quests. Some of them normally get pretty brutal. Anyway, I'll be going online this afternoon. Not sure if @Ugh first aid or @Dcubed will be with me, but maybe @Deathjam and @Vileplume2000 would like to join me in my humble little world of 1 star quests? Or maybe even @RedShell?

Sounds like a good plan. Also glad to see the room name actually showed up for people searching for the room though. Was curious if that would work. When selecting one of the passcode options, there's an option called "Exclude Friends" This means that anyone on your friends list can enter your room without entering the passcode. But others can still join by entering it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play tonight, but if you mention some players here, I'm sure you could hire a few others.

Someone finally gets me! Before, I was that weird man playing Pokemon on the bus. Now, I'm that weird man playing Pokemon on the bus, but not with his phone.

Anything to make other hunters smirk in amusement! Lots of great moments there! Dodging Gypceros' light flash is very amusing. Anyway, Ugh First Aid and I are still hunting if anyone fancies a few hunts before 11. If you're not on my friends list, the Hunter Hub ID is 12-2965-6551-7139. The passcode is 4444.

We're still playing though, so if anyone wants to join in, go ahead!

Right, I'm gonna open a room now. It's called "N-Europe" To stop randoms getting in, I'm gonna set a password. If you're not on my friends list, It's 4444.

4!? You two are insane! Games been officially out not 6 hours and I'm already light years behind you. Anyway, might as well get this posted. @Ugh first aid, @Dcubed and I will probably be playing this some time around 5pm maybe, if anyone fancies being a 4th member.

You know what, BBC? I take it back. Your news segments aren't unbearably cringe... It could be a lot worse.

Not even a little bit sorry for the last second of GBA Mario Circuit, @RedShell. Not even a teeny tiny bit! 4th place was far too important! I had one epic comeback on WiiU Mario Circuit though. It's the kind of comeback that legends are spoken of. 'And thus Glen-i was thoroughly screwed over by @Dcubed and his 2 evil henchmen, Wii and some other bloke and was plunged into the abyss of last place. Lady Karma decided that this fate was too cruel and thus aided him in his epic 1 minute journey to 1st place. With his trusty Bullet Bill and much needed perfectly timed lightning bolt, he reached glory and thoroughly pointed and laughed at DCubed. And there was much rejoicing.' Oh, and @nekunando's lag makes for great highlight viewing!

I'm not so sure. I can totally see how people would get a upset if some random bloke started playing this while you're trying to pay respects. Especially if the jerk doesn't use headphones. You definitely have to be mindful of others. Or just don't play it in those kinds of places.

It's almost like there wasn't much thought behind it... I was playing proper Pokemon on the bus and I never felt so isolated. I play 3DS on public transport all the time and I've never felt so blatant.

What!? But I need the digital one cheap! I blame Pokemon GO for this. Bloody thing has made me have the worst week...

Not many things made me want to punch the TV screen, but this got me damn close. Hearing TV presenters and news interviewees talk about this is damn cringe-worthy and borderline depressing. There were these two people interviewed, and they said something along the lines of "We've never played a Pokemon game before, but this looked like so much fun. A lot of people have been saying it's the best Pokemon game ever and I can see why" I actually feel insulted for Pokemon Black/White. It was an odd way to phrase it but she has a point. People have tried to mug others using those lure points. Then again, common sense will win over in the end. I hope... I mean, there's one bloke who got himself hurt because he was playing it while Skateboarding. So who knows? Oh, and let's not gloss over the fact that this place had to do this. Just a little bit disrespectful.

Are you really arguing with Serebii about whether a Pokemon image is fake or not? You've got guts, I'll give you that.
