LilyGardy

Hi Lady Lily :) I don't like talking on pc much in general (i'm thinking of maybe mostly talking on pms here more now, when i do login, too. reasons), but I wanted to message you to let you know that I didn't respond to your pm until today on my forum because i was in a awful mood when i first read it :( I'm in a happy state of mind now though :) Please feel free to answer back to my new message to you sometime later today, I said some really fun and upbeat stuff ^_^ Also, I hope you're having a wonderful time with your new gen 8 pokemon game! :D Can't wait till i get one of my own as well. I adore collecting new pokemon titles <3

Yup, been too long so I had to fix that ^_^

I think you have brought together quite a few characters that are alive and colorful. I might be a bit of a slowpoke reader, but I'll be reading this one till the end! I'll stay on the look out for chapter 10. indeed, it is interesting how characters and situations can evolve differently from what we originally plan. Has your favorite character appeared yet?

Same hear, busy work season. I haven't bought a Nintendo Switch just yet, but I expect I will next month. I was going to wait until Sword/Shield is released and maybe check out a few minutes of a Let's Play to make sure I want this game, and if it still looks good I will buy a Nintendo Switch lite (Zacian Zamazenta edition) and Pokemon Shield. I'm 99% sure that you can count me in on gen 8 though, I really love what I have seen of the Galar region so far. I am glad that gyms are back, but also glad for the continuation of regional forms, the world looks beautiful, I am psyched for the starters, I want to try Gigantamaxing, I love England and it's history and look forward to a region based on it, and I need that long, slinky event meowth that is coming. In general I adore the gen 8 pokemon, and the fairy Alcremie is my next favorite after Galarian Ponyta. I hope the speculation is true that Galarian Rapidash will be a Pegasus. Good luck to you on your shiny hunt. Rapidash is my second favorite shiny after Milotic, so game freak had better get it right with shiny Galarian Rapidash! :)

Congrats on your Vileplume, Fearow and Charizard, especially Charizard since he is another of my all time favorite shinies. Black is a dragon's color!

I do want to play Let's Go when I get my switch lite too. Shiny hunting looks nerve-racking though, I can't imagine being timed when I am trying to hunt a Pokemon, and also having to try to feed pokemon berries like you would in the safari zone. I don't know if I am made of strong enough stuff to shiny hunt in Let's Go, but I want to at least play the game once. It looks super cute.

Lovely hearing from you, I hope you have a splendid weekend.

Hey girl!

How's it going? I had a blast reading The Rose of Team Magma, and wanted to catch up with you. So I thought it was time for a scribble on your profile. Are you having a nice autumn? Looking forward to pokemon sun and shield. I sure am excited about that Galarian Ponyta. I hope you are doing well my friend.
Xoxo

Awwww thank you :3 You're a great friend too for saying that to me! ^_^ It put a huge smile on my face.

By the way, I made an all pink team on showdown today! I figured, since pink is my comfort thing today, i might as well have an all pink showdown team finally. Shiny Liligant is one of the pokemon on the team, by the way ;) It also has a Palkia.

Thanks. I'm glad for the apology *hug's you* I've been through a lot of hurt over my girlyness over the years, so i get freaked out easily, i'm afraid... :( I hope one day i can just move completely past all of it.

All those pokemon sound really cute ^_^ Maybe i'll make a showdown team using those 3 shinies sometime! <3 I bet it would be mega strong :D Thanks for telling me about them x3; *huge hug* Pink pokemon are the best.

Awww, the pink flower liligant sounds adorrrable^.^

It kind of actually really bothers me that you would forget my favorite color is pink :( Plus you're a friend of mine...

Can you maybe try to make more of an effort to remember what my favorite color is? Please?

Plus, when negative things relating to the color pink happen for me, it causes me a lot of anxiety, due to my autism.

Thanks for hearing me out....

....huh? o_O;;; I thought i mentioned pink being my favorite color to you like a gazillion times...

Those pokemon sound adorable^^ i like the ralts line

Hi Lily^^ Whats up?

I'm still in love with Korrina (like always). I was depressed earlier today though. But seeing things relating to the color pink is calming for me (like your profile^^).

That team sounds adorable :D Thank you ^_^

Come to think of it, yeah, Kalos may not of had beauties...xD ...other than korrina :P

Thank you :) She means so much to me ^_^ (i often think about cuddling her as i go through my days x3)

That sounds like a cool team for her :3 What pokemon would you see me with? I think I see a team with a lot of old and new favs for me. Something like Pikachu, Jirachi, Mew or Meganium, Sylveon, Lucario, and Hawlucha might work x3 xD

That would be awesome if they're all big Korrina fans :D Perhaps they grew a love for battling like her too x3;

Korrina is beautiful...I think looking at some picts of her helped calm me a bit.....also your post had very good advice in it :D Thank you for being a good friend to me *hug*

Korrina would make the best champion ^_^

Thanks, i'm glad you like my av. I still like how yours looks like her too :3

This thread should state how AWFUL i'm doing :'(

Please post in it...*sigh* I wish other people would post in it, too.

I feel like giving up on life over all of this. I'm serious.

Whats so EVIL about LOVE?! :'( Love is the only thing worth living in this world for!! SHIPPERS SHOULD NEVER BE EVIL!!!

*sigh*

Hi Lily...

Round 6 is live and I posted three plans in Plan A, B and C. Plan A is conservative with Dartrix and Nidorino KO'd. Plan B is a bit more aggressive by adding Gothorita into the KO column. Plan C is far more aggressive and changes focus from Gothorita to Aipom in the hopes of removing its Baton Pass from play. As a result, you'd be tasked with attacking Dartrix with Ice Cream.

Feel free to peruse each plan and give feedback.

New FTE update if you haven't already noticed. I have not one but two plans of action posted. Largely predicated on what you want to do since you and I are the only ones with the means to take the Dragon(Jangmo-o) down. You're closer to the Dragon than I am and I have to go lock down Mr.Mime with Fire Spin so that it can't go after our vulnerable Allies. Plus by locking Mr.Mime down, it places it on a silver platter for Mercy to attack next round.

You have two ways of going about taking down the Dragon. Use your Ice Cream or use Absorb on it. If you opt for Absorb, Freesia is going to have to lend you a hand in taking it down since I doubt an Absorb attack is enough to deal 10 damage(since Dragon resists Grass).

Just remember that what I post is merely suggestions. You have free reign to do w/e you want.

Hi there LilyGardy!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have written to you. I hope that you have had a magical holiday season, and a very merry Christmas. I haven't forgotten about our vms! I just wanted to drop by quickly and wish you a Happy New Year's. We have surely seen some ups and downs this year at pokecommunity, but it has been an exciting year overall I think. I can't wait to see what 2019 brings. May your home sparkle with light from lots of new shiny pokemon.

You'll be proud of me. I did my first legendary shiny hunt. A Lugia. I'd love to hear more about your own adventures.

I hope I can trade you something extra nice in the new year.

Speaking of adventures. Is that a new chapter of the Rose of Team Magma up I see?! Sugoi!! ^_^

Catch you in 2019!

Hi Lily! :3 Please VM back if you wanna talk to me. I like talking to you.

I read a bit about how to be a proper lady a few days ago. It was inspiring. It talked about being calm, yet also alert (my mom said this is called 'poise'). It also talked about watching your diet (which i've been learning to do more now. i've been becoming over weight, so i'm trying to eat less foods with added sugar/too many cals now o.o). And it talked about enjoying dressing feminine and always being kind! Being a lady sounds fun and cool :3

Hi there LilyGardy!

Happy Thanksgiving my friend.

Did you know that Misdreavous is another Pokemon with interesting origins? Its based on the Nukekubi yokai, a flying head. The things that find their way into Pokemon are so colorful and much darker than you would think.

I think I shall have to hunt Gastly the hard way, I don't think he is available in Omega Ruby with the dexnav in my version, or am I mistaken? If he is then that would be a relief.

Oh yes, Chandelure's cry is just gorgeous. We light candles and burn incense in my home a lot, especially around the holidays. When I hear Chandelure' s long cry I hear the sound of resin cooling and solidifying in the glass candle holders as the fire dies. That tinkle is just lovely. One of my favorite Pokemon creepy pastas is about this line of Pokemon Curse of the Candle.

This is definitely a favorite Unova mon. Golurk's backstory is really interesting too, based on the Hebrew legend the Golem of Prague. Also in Cofragrius you really see the Ancient Egyptian inspiration behind his sarcophagus-like appearance.

Your love of your beautiful shiny Lilligant, and Lilligant everywhere is really nice, its like LadyJirachu and her wonderful love for Korrina.

I would have probably started nervously throwing pokeballs too in the same situation, worried about knocking out a delicate petilil. Because I only shiny hunt every now and then I seem to have had beginner's luck, though, and only remember shiny failing once. When I was looking for a shiny Dragonair in Pokemon Y on the way I fished up some shiny poliwhirl and shiny basculin. The poliwhirl were all no problem, but one of the basculin used final gambit and blew himself up. I tried to catch it just because it was there, but since it wasn't my target it wasn't a terribly devestating miss, especially I since got lucky and caught another later while I was chaining, but I guess it is always sad to loose any shiny though.

Do you still want to trade with me? If you don't its totally cool. I just wanted to know if I should keep a hold on Wooper or Mawile? I have a few other new ones too :)

I respect the secrecy of the shrine of Lilligant. Some places and some information is so sacred that it must not be revealed. When I visited a Cherokee reservation one summer all of the people I met and danced with never gave their real names, the name you called them by was understood to be only a mask, their full name had to be protected, and only close clan members knew it.

Thank you by the way for letting me know that dark Lilligant can be purified though...*eyes twinkles,impish smile* I might do something with that information.

I thought of the Blue Eyes White Dragon for Reshiram as well. I wasn't a regular Yugioh watcher, but I had seen enough episodes to know about that cool part. I would also love to see a split evolution for Dragonair that retains its graceful, serpentine appearance. I adore big, cheerful Dragonite, but Dragonair is special for different reasons, its delicacy and magic. It would also be helpful I think to have a new typing a loose the 4× weakness, which is always hard to deal with. I think the split evo should be dragon/water or dragon/fairy.

Nendoroids are pretty expensive. Mine came from eBay, new in box, but still second hand so it was half the price of what they can be. I'm always on the look out for a bargain. The Cynthia Nendoroid is a nice one though.Right now I have my sights set on Steven and his Metagross.

Have a wonderful holiday season LilyGardy. I hope you are having a relaxing time off, plenty of fun, good fun and friends and family all around.

You're with me in Team B and although you'd loved all the Rock Types foes on Team A, I think you'll have just as much fun with Team B since you avoid all the Flying Types. In any case, time to pick a starting spot. I proposed J15 or something like that to guard the pass while using Growth to start.

I've always been curious about Charmed. I got the vibe of the novella and movie Practical Magic, which I rather liked. There were originally some plans to livestream episodes of Charmed and Sabrina the Teenage Witch by dear friends here, but alas they had to be cancelled. But we may yet have a do-over.

Thank you for the advice on hunting Gastly. I believe these mischievous Pokemon also carry curse, which is very scary because they could end up knocking out themselves. I'll be sure to carry taunt. Though, that does open another can of the worms if the battle goes on too long, the faster a struggle death could occur. The challenge has now got me even more excited!!

That is really cool that you had a random encounter with shiny Gollett.Golet and Golurk look really majestic in their shiny forms with the contrast of being darker, more midnight-colored yet with brighter light in their eyes and body patterns. Its beautiful but I could also see how it might be easy to overlook, especially when playing at night. But it wouldn't escape the eyes of an experienced hunter like you!

Unova is full of interesting ghosts! I'm also a fan of Chandelure.

Lilligant's shiny is splendid. Maybe one day I shall catch a shiny Petill on my own. The Dex nav I think would be a good place to start on the mirage spot.

Wow, the Shrine of Lilligant sounds like a beautiful place. I see traces of a wonderful tale of a special garden and a dark Lilligant. That could become a great fiction too one day if you ever feel like sharing again after the Rose of Magma. You are making a fangirl out of me!

That is cool that the protagonist is going to receive a Golbat as a present just like Maxie's. You can count on me to read and review.

I like all of the Tao Trio dragons, Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyuerem, but I prefer Reshiram too. I think it is such a unique dragon. The other dragons of Unova I think immediately evoke strength, and possibly even are intimidating, Hydreigon, Haxorus, Zekrom and Kyurem I think are no exception. Each capture the primal power of the dragon. Yet Reshiram brings something different. He's a beautiful dragon, pure white and incorruptible like a unicorn. This is a spiritual dragon, which you don't usually see in the games. Sometimes they are cute like Dragonite or Drampa or Goodra but they usually don't radiate holiness exactly. Dragonair and Altaria probably come the closest.

For Christmas last year I got an nendoroid of N with Reshiram. Love them to pieces! They both stand proudly on my shelf.
