T_T That sucks. I was wondering where you went off to, not that I would have been able to reply if you'd replied earlier. XD; Are you feeling better now? D:
Yeah, if only because it improves on them slightly. Omg, do you mean the Zigzagoon (omg typed Xigxagoon and stared at it questionably for a minute before realizing I was attempting Organization!spelling) in the very first fight? DDD: That is horrible. I feel like they should specifically program the games so that no shinies show up (aside from your starter) until you obtain Pokeballs. That's just too mean otherwise. T_T I spent the hour or two after that VM downloading and renaming all the files for easy reading after that and then only had time for two volumes. XD; And then I totally forgot to transfer them to my laptop to read on the roadtrip I'm going on today. T_T!
I do too, actually, but most of them would be absolutely insulted if I compared them to Terra. XD;
(*u* because it's fuuuun... so long as you keep them in character. Which most people don't.)
I'm not sure if it was required or if it was just because our geography teacher at the time was really obsessed with the USA. We had to learn capitals and everything, too, but I don't think I ever did. I know more about US Geography just from plotting out where my online friends live than anything I learnt in school, haha. We did have to know where the countries in Europe were and that's something I wish I had remembered since I always feel so dumb when the only European countries I recognize at a glance are England and Italy lmao.
Makes sense, I guess. There was also an Animaniacs song about the 50 states, iirc! Although I might be showing my age here with my childhood cartoons. T_T;;; There's uhhh... Mardi Gras, according to a calendar. I guess you could... sort of... justify it for that... except I don't actually know anyone who celebrates Mardi Gras on any sort of scale so... XD Apparently there is also the Super Bowl. I... can easily see random Americans doing fireworks for that loool.
