Awww :( Don't worry, I think theres going to be another eclipse in a few years! In the grand scheme of things, that's coming up pretty soon. :P

My favourites are definitely One Piece and Full Metal Alchemist, both with lots of action and very interesting characters. I also love magical girl anime, starting with Sailor Moon and moving on to Mermaid Melody, Shugo Chara, and now Precure(where my avatar is from). The only futuristic series I ever got into was Code Geass, which was amazing. Have you seen that?

I get ideas from all over the place, including what I read and watch, and also from life experience. Antagonists are probably inspired, at least in part, by real-life people I don't get along with haha. And that's the biggest problem I have with writing...the ending. I suck at it because I'm in the mindset where I want the story to keep going on forever. But that's unrealistic so I have to work on that.

Team Rocket was getting really old, and I'm glad they're no longer in every episode like they used to be. They're still there too often though IMO. I remember that about Butch, and would love to see him and Cassidy return. Sadly I doubt it'll happen.

I've heard that Yo-Kai Watch is to blame for Pokémon's sudden change. Have you heard of it? It's another creature collecting game that is very popular in Japan. I've tried it, but I don't like it as much as Pokémon. Anyway it also has an anime, and it seems oddly familiar to the Sun and Moon series. D:

I often toss in cute Pokémon as well, but they're usually single staged like Pachirisu or Emolga. I once swept a team with my Pachirisu, and it remains one of my favourite battles ever. ^_^ I haven't tried Little Cup unfortunately, but I've always been meaning to try. And I'd love to battle you as well but I don't have WiFi at home. Maybe one day when I'm in town. ^^

Sorry to hear about your sleeping problems. =/ I used to work in retail so I know what you mean about early mornings. I had to wake up at 5 and start work at 7. Before working there I was used to waking up at 9! I eventually grew used to it however, and even though I don't work there anymore the sleep schedule has stuck. Heh

And your experiences with customers sound just like mine. Some loved me and would consistently come in to talk to me while doing their shopping, while a few would talk to me about subjects I knew nothing about. It was fun-as long as I also got my work done. haha

And you can rant as much as you like haha. As you can see you aren't the only one who puts a lot into these VM's. =O

Hey Marina :D Just got home from dealing with dummies at work all day. I saw the eclipse too, it was awesooome! How about you??

Yeah, it sure can't be easy in the moment, but it's worth it in the long run. That's why I'm slowly getting back into it.

I couldn't get the page to load so I found a similar video on YouTube. It's really good! I see it was an opening for one of the many Gundam series. Do you like that or is it just the music? And in either case which anime do you like? ^_^

The main team in my stories is original, and they're more like rivals than affiliates to Team Rocket. And while I don't often run out of ideas(my mind is always in a million places at once lol), I don't always know how to put them onto paper. Thus I haven't been writing too much. xD

I'm still pretty crazy about Pokémon. I just don't do competitive battling as much as I used to. I haven't seen the Sun & Moon anime(which looks kind of odd with its new art style), but I've seen everything before it. The first seasons were definitely the best however(also probably because I was younger haha). The Black and White saga got better though IMO when they finally dropped the idea that Team Rocket had to be defeated in every. single. episode. xD It allowed for some differing storylines, which I enjoyed a lot.

Yes, I tend to like the evolved forms due to competitive background. They do get less adorable upon evolving though, with some exceptions like Bellossom and Milotic. :)

Yup, I understand everything you said! Had you been running before you typed that, or was it just really really late? D:

Lol yeah, I discovered Jmusic through anime too. And I still like a fair amount of anisong, character songs, bands/artists that make almost exclusively anime songs, and anime only groups like Muse from Love Live and Milky Holmes.
I feel the same about the buried treasure thing!! I spent so many happy hours discovering new music. It was the best.
Yes it's quite nice that there is a fair amount of diversity over there, and the oricon charts seem to change a lot. :D

Aww its nice to meet you too! Youre great and I hope you stick around :D

I haven't tried weightlifting at all, but that's something else I should look into. I'm still such a beginner haha. Walking and running is great, but I guess it isn't everything.

I actually started the story when I was in high school and never grew tired of it haha. And yes, I have criminals trying to capture strong Pokémon, Articuno specifically. so that they can control the weather. I really should continue with it! I'm such a procrastinator, you see. *sweatdrop*

I love Life(which I first heard on the Bleach anime), and it's the song that made me look more into YUI's work. I also got hooked onto Stereopony's music through Bleach as well. I'm not familiar with many others however, but most of the names you mentioned ring a bell in my memory. In regards to K-pop I love Girls' Generation, but was disappointed when one of its members got kicked out a few years ago. :(

Not everyone on here is a current Pokémon fan so I thought it was possible, especially since I mostly see you around the off-topic forums. :P I used to do a lot of competitive battling back in 4th Gen, but grew away from it in the shift to 5th Gen.

Lanturn is one of my favourites as well, though I didn't think it was popular. :O Others include Starmie, Yanmega, Mamoswine, Metagross, Gardevoir, Galvantula, and my absolute favourite, Froslass. <3

I love KOTOKO so so so much, my favorite album of hers is glass no kaze and I love all of her anime songs ^_^ I've loved her for 10 years now.
I love all the Pokemon (spinoffs included) and Kirby OSTs, I also love most nintendo osts, especially animal crossing and yoshi games. I also love the music from Sonic.
David Bowieee! I love him! He's one of the few Western artists I really like lol. Low is one of my favorite albums ever!

OMG I LOVE KOTOKO SHE'S LIKE MY FAVORITE ARTIST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA haha thats a pretty solid list, lots of awesome ladies :)
You know idol groups! Awesome <3 Morning Musume is my favorite and has my favorite idol/singer in it, Makino Maria :) And I'm a huge AKB48 fan as well :D
I mainly like idol/jpop, I also like video game music, vaporwave, rap, metal, I like a lot of stuff haha I just love music in general!

I rarely wear sunscreen, and it's often for the same reason. Often I go out early when it's not too hot, but end up staying outside until it gets hot. And by then it's too late. xD

I'd like to try to get in better shape as well, and they sound like a good place to start. I've been doing some squats, but no more than 20 at a time. 72 push-ups are amazing though, good job! You're inspiring me to to better too. ^_^

I used to have a massive fanfic about Pokémon in the real world. That ended years ago but I started a sequel this summer that I'll be starting to post on PC later this month. Currently I'm doing a Nuzlocke Challenge and writing it out in story form over in the Challenges section, and I'm also one of the players in LegendChu's Kanto Journal in the Gen 1 forum. So I've been doing a lot of writing haha.

I had a feeling you liked Japanese music. :P I'm also a fan of it, mostly getting introduced to artists through anime openings. YUI is one of my favourites as a result of this. ^_^ Besides that I like a lot of different types of music, ranging from K-pop to country to 80's rock. =O

Wow, I've already written a lot, but I'll still ask about Pokémon. You must be a fan if you came to this forum, right? ^_^

Lol just makin sure. What other jpop artists or groups do you like?

Hamasaki Ayumi? Nice :D i take it youre a jpop fan too then :)

I'm not that bad now, but I've had that flaky skin before. I spent the whole day outside in Ottawa on Canada Day. I had to work the next day and was nicknamed "Lobster Face." xD

That sounds nice. ^_^ Minus the cut of course. I do a lot of walking and running around here, but that's usually been it. I think I should start some push-ups as well, and get a regular routine going. Is that what you do?

I think I've replied to all of them actually haha. Let me know if I missed one. :P I haven't started many topics myself(aside from fanfics and journals of course) because I never know what to say.

Aww thanks haha :D its been the same for like a year lol. I could never bring myself to change it. You should fool around with customization, its fun. Unfortunately you cant add backgrounds unless you're a community supporter (i think)

Nice. It's a little too hot here to do that, at least during the day. I ended up getting a little burnt the other day. Sorry to hear about your foot as well. :(

And I'm doing great! I just replied to another of your threads on the forum. You're good at getting the community talking. ^_^

Thats awesome :DD im glad you like it! Yeah there is a lot of variety here. Many people who don't even play Pokemon that much love and frequent this forum.
And thats great! We need lots of new content lol
Checking off topic you are totally dominating it haha (In a good way), its probably one of the most active boards on here now.

Hi Marina, how's it going? ^_^

Ohh, lots of uploads :O might just have to check it out.
How are you enjoying PC so far? :D
