The Pokémon General Daily Chit-Chat

Welcome to the Pokémon General Daily Chit-Chat! Use this thread to talk about anything Pokémon-related, from the games to the anime to the manga to the merchandise to anything else that comes to your pretty little heads. Be sure to read the rules, and then go ahead and start chatting away! Who knows, you may even get something nice ;) (read: an emblem for being the chattiest of the chattiest)

Rules

This thread is for general chit-chat about Pokémon only. If you want to talk about something unrelated to Pokémon, feel free to go to the Daily Chit-Chat in Other Chat.
Try not to change the topic too often. If people are still actively discussing the topic that was introduced last, let that one die out first.
Try to keep the topics not specific to a certain area of the fandom, as each one has its own section.
Any questions? PM Toujours!

And so...

With that, chat away! I'll give us a topic to start with:

There's a sweepstakes going on right now! Is anyone participating?


So we meet again, my friend,
and just as you reach the end!
Now send Toujours each and every clue,
to get the praise that you're due.

[PelipperMail]

I am Australian, so of course I'm not participating. Also, as an Australian, I feel extremely excluded. Gamefreak need to stop with their region-exclusive events and sweepstakes.

[Toujours]

I wonder what the costs involved with doing things internationally is...I know for this there would be shipping and such, but what does it cost to work out wi-fi things? Idek. :(

[Zeffy]

Americans get all the luck. ):
Gah, I guess I'd have to wait a million years (well, five to six years at least) before I could even have a DS and either Pokemon Black or White...

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I wouldn't participate in it since I bought those two dolls from the Pokemon Center over the summer, ($32.00 each) I just bought a Red 3DS a couple of days ago, I already got both Pokemon Black and White and I dont like Pokemon cards; not point for me.

[Zeffy]

Dang that must've really put a dent in your pockets!

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

It deals with B/W, therefore I'm not interested. Ever since they came out and events for D/P/Pt stopped, I haven't been caring about Pokemon events. Don't care about the cards either, or plushies that aren't of Leaf from FR/LG. The 3DS is the only thing I might be interested in, but it's not worth me entering regardless.

[Zeffy]

At least you can join said contest. I'm stuck with nothing. ):

[Toujours]

You could sell the stuff!

[vaporeon7]

I'm Australian too so the sweepstakes have no value to me either. I agree with Pelipper, Nintendo does like to give everywhere something but us.

/no Dream Word Banette for us.

[Zeffy]

I live somewhere close to Australia so I guess I have the same unfortunate fate. ):

[shengar]

I live in Southeast Asia, how could I even get the chance to participate!
Not really interested in any kind of pokemon events or event pokemon. Unless they decide to distribute leaf blade Shiftry or dragon rush Serperior, that'll be different story

Man, If only Game Freak or Nintendo or anyone responsible make a deal with one of the toys/action figure and make a figure of human characters I would probably buy them all.

[Kenshin5]

I won't enter the sweepstakes, since I already have both versions and a 3DS and I have no interest in the rest of the merchandise, if anything I would just resell them. Maybe keep the 3DS as a back up.

[vaporeon7]

I would enter for the hell of it if they had it here, I wouldn't expect to win or anything but still...

Same here. More Asian countries should get the Pokemon events. If I were to enter the event, I'd go for the cards, the 3DS and the plushies. As for the games, I'd give them to a friend because I already have them.

[Zeffy]

Anyways, enough with the sweepstakes talk. What are you thoughts on N's complete name? I say, its quite good...except for the Gropius part. ):

Oh, and there's a thread for this at B/W if you want to know more.

[Kenshin5]

When I saw the name I was thinking it was much to do about nothing. Now if this is the beginning of 3rd Game coverage and their just starting to trickle out with information then my interest is peaked. But as of now I could careless what his name is, I just want to see more development as a character and back story.

http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wik...formation_on_N
I don't know how much there is to this either. I lawl'ed at N believing he was born from pokemon. Or the fact that if he could see the future then why was he defeated by the protagonist unless it was all part of the plan.

[vaporeon7]

I cannot read Gropius without

coming to mind.

[Zeffy]

^ me too.

But the fact that they said N was born from Pokemon parents means that he is possibly a Pokemon himself. Either a Ditto, a Mew, or a Zoroark! :o

[vaporeon7]

I suppose it may hint that Pokemon Grey isn't all too far, maybe this will lead to more information. I hope it's just not some random facts that won't link to anything. He could be a Smeargle...

[Zeffy]

Oh yeah a Smeargle too. I wonder how these changing appearances happens anyways.

[Truality]

Also, N's name origins are Greek! *dances*

Speaking of which, poor Greece. The only pokemon sweepstakes we will ever have here will be pedos trapping kids after luring them with 'get your victini here'. Sob.

[mysticflower]

I guess its not unheard of for a Pokémon to look like a person... But it's still pretty weird. I don't like the name and I think it would have been better to keep us guessing. Or they could have released some hints to generate speculation about what the name might be without actually telling us. I feel like he has lost some of his mystery now.

Besides from his name and a bit of background, he is still a very mysterious character. I don't know about you, but if I hear that someone came from Pokemon parents then I'd think that person would be very mysterious since there are more information hidden behind their name.

[vaporeon7]

I can just imagine N being a Zoroark and owning one as well. Who knows, it maybe that a Pokemon turned him into a human.
