Defending Diglett's Cave (Part 1) “What the...” Astrid frowned, and felt the frown get harder and more severe as she approached. There was a crowd of people here, and the once-familiar entrance to the Diglett's Cave that had been open to travelers with pokemon as long as she could remember was...

Well it's gotten quiet, but I know I'm good for the next chapter :)

((OOC: Even though Archie learned Water Gun as a result of the previous post, I'm imagining that he's been practicing a weak, non-combat-worthy version before now, since it's not like it's a TM move or anything, so he can suddenly use it now, haha.)) Astrid woke up first. It was mostly...

I started with Red when they first came out, which was... 1997? So I was fourteen or fifteen, and now I'm twenty-eight :)

Oh, oh, also, about the True Viridians and those crazy white-clad dudes, you're right, I totally messed that up, but maybe we can just imagine that the guys that evicted Jay didn't like them purely for being strangers, even if they did share their philosophy. Or something. Anyway, in other...

I like the names, I think they're just fine. And I don't really see what the big deal is if you don't like them, you only have to see them in the battle subway, if at all. I like the boy's design, I suppose, it looks practical enough. I loathe the girl's design. Freaking pink again, and stupid...

I've been marathoning Top Gear, so I named my guy in White James after James May. I tend to name my characters after fandoms. My HG girl is called Zoe from Firefly, and I have a Neville in Emerald, from Harry Potter, etc.

Out of the town at last—Astrid could have slept at the Pokemon Center like she usually did in town, but the little fuzzball had been shaking the whole time Astrid had walked to the Center from the park, clinging to Astrid's arm, while Archie walked alongside, staring upward in concern...

Yes--sorry. The long stretch after my last post sort of threw me out of the loop, and then RIGHT after the last chapter post I went out of town to a convention, and if anything removes you from your normal schedule, it's one of those, let me tell you. Then I didn't get thread subscription...

I've noticed that people often experience Pokemon gaming in this way: Now, I'm 28 and haven't been in University for years. Still playing, though!

Lillipup, and now I really love the little guy. And gal--I caught three in total (hoping to do a proper in-order full dex someday) and the first two are both in my party still, because the first one had a good nature and I like Vital Spirit, but then I noticed the second one had Pickup... I'm a...

You're reading it as though it should say "does this look okay", where "look" is a verb, but in the sentence in the game, "look" is a noun, like "what a great new look!" or something. So it's asking "is this look [as in, outfit] okay?" My WTF moment was how long it took to be able to check my...

Yeah I was sad when I discovered that wasn't going to be a permanent new feature :( it seems lonely to walk by myself now!

Well, I just hope we get to keep going eventually. Chin up, everyone! Consider it a reward after all your current obligations :D

Did you know that Butterfree was supposed to evolve from Venonat, and Venomoth was supposed to evolve from Metapod? Look at the shapes: ---> and ---> I wonder what happened, if they got mixed up in a file folder way back when, or something.
