It does kinda seem like fate doesn't it!!!

I've not been very well tbh, some ongoing medical stuff has really been kicking my derriere the last few days. I just can't seem to fight it like I normally can right now. Ty for the hugs! <3

Hope you're just being kept busy and it's nothing serious, but your absence in FG is highly noticeable.... so, *hugs* just to be safe =3

Me & Cooler doing Kabutops was almost as if I was being green-lit to go do it by something. Not a firm believer of fate, but that was one heck of a coincidence xD

Like, I noted down when the 3 months would have passed. It was near the end of the month so I was just like, let's just finish the month and do it on the first of September, what's a couple more days.
I go to the VPP section to go make the inactive tag request and see the news announcement. I was gonna poke cooler for a Relicanth since fossils couldn't Tag Team, and Relicanth is nicknamed the 'Living Fossil' in some PokeDex entry. Figured it was a pretty good substitute. Then I saw the announcement and was just like 'okay scrap that I'm poking him for Kabutops now' xD

Well, I do want to raise an Alolan Sandslash and a Galarian Darmanitan at some point since I'm attempting to obtain all Ice types.
I don't see either in your stats. We don't need to do em now though.
I definitely do need to raise me a Galar Rapidash at some point, which I feel could be a good Tag for us (I feel fairly confident we both love it). I don't see it in you stats either. If you wanna do this one I'm basically buying a stone right away xD

There are definitely also normal mons we could raise that I do not see in your stats (hopefully didn't overlook them.... glared through your boxes multiple times xD):
Delibird, Girafarig, Grumpig, Florges, Medicham, Meowstic, Musharna.
If you don't mind NFE's we could also raise an Amaura (I already have an Aurorus yes, but Amaura is so dang cute I kinda want both xD) or any NFE form of the mons above ^.^

This is all still future talk ofc. Just listing options for the future ^.^
Maybe you see something of interest 😉

We don't need to do a stone VPP unless you want to, I'm sure we could find something I haven't got!

If you did wanna raise a stone Pokémon then I've only done about 2 Alolan and zero Galarian so far!

I think Caite is still doing Alolan Ninetales so I'm not available right now! You and Cooler doing Kabutops is one of the best team ups yet btw :)

Well I have enough points for either a Galar or Alola stone.
Also got the G-max band so could by a candy too.
just mentioning it as it will probably expand the options for what we could potentially raise that you don't already have ^.^
Though that's still gonna be a bit away as we are now both in active Tags =3
(iirc you were still in an active Tag Team)

I just thought I'd poke cooler first to drag him further into the VPP rabbithole 😈
xD

Yes, yes we do! Been thinking that for ages!

Hi Ash!
Just poking you to say you and me need to team up for a tag too some time.... =3

I actually messed up two of the first four!

I had the correct answers, for the right reasons, then convinced myself they were actually way more elaborate and complicated, so I went with something else!!! ;-)

I see your doing the Daily Puzzles from the Get Together too =)
We also both messed up on the first one lol.
I seriously misinterpreted it xD
I thought the picture was like, showing leavanny AFTER it went and trimmed furfrou. And with ditto being bad at it, it got bit by the furfrou so the banged up one was false xD 😂

Don't worry about hogging the thread! It was very much on topic :)

And again tysm for sharing them!!!

I'm just gonna reply here so i don't hog that thread anymore than already might be the case =p

Anyway feel free to borrow that one too if you want to use it =)

There's not really much to add to what you've already said tbh, other than to say I'm pretty sure he is fine, he has just taken a break from the forum I think.

He never said anything to me personally, so I don't know a whole lot more than anyone else unfortunately :/

Hi Ash,

kinda bumping you out of the blue I guess. But, do you know if squirtle said anything anywhere about leaving or becoming inactive?
Looking at his profile page it doesn't really seem to be the case. Others are wondering where he's gone too.
In my case we added each other as friends and then like 3 days later he up and p00fed.

I'm now left wondering if he really left because of the forum games rule changes (would be a bit disappointing tbh), or if he had a different reason. Or if he's just maybe on holiday or something.
Or perhaps something more severe. It's not exactly a very safe year with the pandemic and all. Getting kinda worried here.

Sorry about that! I was waiting for confirmation myself, and it didn't seem fair to make you wait for the Pokemon while things were being sorted :)
