Hi CrimsonMajestic! :) For the record I'm turning 28 in a month. It's more of a perceived immaturity that I still base Pokemon around which, as an adult, I expect myself to be detached from. But that's honestly just silly thinking! I enjoy Pokemon and will continue to enjoy it regardless of my age. I just can't help but to poke fun at myself for holding on so tightly to a childhood franchise. |
While we're talking records, I am turning 31 late September, and enjoy Pokemon as much I can tolerate.
And for those who would make the claim that I am immature for liking a game that is marketed toward kids but is for all ages need to examine their own tastes relative to those who impose certain social standards (whether from external forces and/or internal), and also examine how much they're enjoying life. /endminirant That said, I will beat this drum one more time, and ask whether you have individuals and/or groups that tease you for enjoyment toward Pokemon? |
Fellow 1990 baby!
And I often feel that way too, actually. I tend to think I'm immature because of my interests? |
Quote:
My father in particular scoffs at my Pokemon-ing but it's very good natured and mostly a commentary on how I can like the same thing for such a long time. He also teases me for collecting the cards but I tease him back for collecting trinkets too - so it's all fair. :) Again, I just have this instinct that says "to be a productive member of society you must abandon all things that represent childhood". Which is obviously not true! Quote:

I'm older than all of you so yeah... if you think you're old, know that you're not the oldest. Is Jo short for Joanna or some other name?
|
i feel weird knowing that ive never experienced weed nor vaping
|
Quote:
I have no doubts I'll be into Pokemon for a long time to come! Good on you for sticking to your passions as well! Jo is short for Jolynn. |
Quote:
You're not really missing out on much! I only vape because I used it to quit smoking. Eventually I plan on stopping this too! |
Would you be interested in this? Do know I can be very persistent and unapologetic in doing so.
|
Quote:
Yes I have noticed you tend to be persistent! In a good way though. Looks complicated, but fun! I'll definitely read more about it. I can see myself getting into something like that! |
does your fiance like pokemon as much as you do
im asking out of pure curiosity |

Oh and I almost forgot, when you do sign-up, be sure to mention its ability(non-HA only), Gender(if applicable), nickname(optional), and what move-set you want to give it(pick four moves that it'd know by level 20. Example for my Vulpix: Ember, Will-o-Wisp, Fire Spin and Payback. |
woah you're getting married? are you excited? what was the proposal like? are you happy with the way your life is right now?

Yes! I am very excited! My fiance proposed to me on Valentine's day of this year. It was something we both knew and understood we were going to do, but hadn't made the step to actually make it official. The proposal itself wasn't some huge event, but it was meaningful and beautiful in its own way. I'm very happy with my life and my partner and I couldn't ask for anyone better! Spoiler:

#2) Seems reasonable. Unfortunate but reasonable. #3) Yes, I have used that in the past. However, I prefer to vape because it's a non-combustible way to intake nicotine (meaning it's not damaging your throat as much), and you can control how much nicotine you use. Currently, I vape 0mg of nicotine. It's just an oral fixation for me. Btw I worked at a vape shop and manufactured my own e-juice so I actually do know what I'm talking about. Vaping is a smoking replacement device, not a hobby like people tend to treat it. 4#) one foot in the grave, the other on a banana peel amirite? |

How did you started to like the fairy type?
Do you have been into other forums before you joined pokecommunity? You consider yourself too much positive? |
Quote:
I have been on other pokemon forums! But I'm not active at all, haha. PC was the first forum I ever joined! This is a tough question for me. I don't believe I'm actually a positive person offline. I'm anxious and nihilistic and tend to catastrophize things. I'm also a little catty! I only project the positivity and light hearted naivity I wish I had onto PC and my online persona. Is that identity too positive? Probably. But I enjoy being online in a medium in which I can respond to things with time and thoughtfulness so my immediate, innate cynacism doesn't show through. I like pretending to be a bubbly, optimistic person. I like being happy and making other people happy. I'm afraid that is not something I can do with ease offline. |
What are "body mods" exactly?
Favorite drink(s)? |
Since when you do art?

Hi pal. So, question, what's your favourite thing to eat? Because I think I totally forgotten if you've already said so. https://78.media.tumblr.com/cfd0b09fb282cb23c8a4c6ce4ca5d5f8/tumblr_inline_p9x5fuDon11qmb63e_100.gif Also, what's your favourite game to play? It's Monster Hunter, right? https://78.media.tumblr.com/17ecd244350d3f1f9770518c68effa51/tumblr_inline_p9x5fvq2YH1qmb63e_100.gif Final question: We are both like Ying and Yang... why do we get along so well? Like seriously in another life, we might of been like brother and sister |
While Sylveon is your spirit animal, does that imply it’s your favorite Fairy Type or do you happen to like another Fairy Type Pokemon even more?
|
Quote:
Yup! Right now it's Monster Hunter. But Animal Crossing is also a close favorite. So is Pokemon X/Y! Well I think you said it perfectly. We are the yin and yang. The day and the night. The everything and the nothing. We simply could not exist without one another. <33 Quote:

what do u think of an unconditional basic income (basic income guarantee),
so for example every citizen gets like 1k bucks every month guaranteed don't know if it was already discussed in here and i got no idea where to put it |
How did you started to get interested in art?
What is your favorite color? If you could stop an apocalypse, what would you do first? |
Quote:
Never thought I'd get asked a question like this, haha. Definitely nothing along these lines have been asked yet! Personally, I would love to receive 1k every month guaranteed. (Actually I kind of do considering I rent out property but that certainly isn't "free money"). :p But I don't really think it's feasible for the US. Quote:
PINK Good question! The memer in my says grab my cricket bat. But realistically I would probably be one of the quicker ones to die, lol. I'm one of those "lay down and be resigned to my fate" types. Or I'd just go 100% hedonist and writhe in all of the awful things I've been suppressing for the past decade. >:D https://i.imgur.com/JvuDg66.png |
This is a bit personal so Id understand if you decline to answer but you stated youre a recovering Heroin/Opioid addict. May I ask what caused you to get into such drugs and what advice would you have for those considering trying such drugs?
|
Quote:
I originally got into opiates as a rather benign escalation of doing progressively harder drugs as a teenager. It started as youthful indiscretion, I'd picked up smoking a bit of weed, drinking, you're normal stuff. But, the pills were readily available to me and I have a highly addictive personality. Combine that with a severe lack of self esteem, newly divorced parents, penchant for escapism, and some crazy daddy issues, and it quickly progressed into my first recreational pill popping! I had a 300mg oxy habit for a long time. I also live dangerously close to one of the busiest and most active drug trafficking ports in America, so the supply was easy. Anyway, after some time I couldn't afford the pills anymore and jumped ship to heroin. it was that simple. Got arrested. Life was destroyed. And I made the choice to get sober and do something with my life. As for advice I could give? Well, there's three places you end up when you're using. In a hospital, in jail, or in a body bag. These three things are unconditional, universal, and absolute. Sadly though, it's something already well known by anyone already taking them. Through experience I can say that this simple post here won't stop anyone from doing a damn thing. Taking drugs is a choice, but becoming addicted is not. Addiction is a symptom of a much grander, more nuanced problem that I cannot begin to fathom in another person. Who am I to try to sway anyone when I don't know their story? People are extremely complex. And, while I had my reasons for making the choices I did, it's not my place to determine what other people do. All I can do is share my experience and be present for anyone who does want help. Though I guess I can give y'all practical tips like opiates make you itch like CRAZY which is something they don't tell you during the whole "heroin kills" essay. So yeah. |
When you couldnt afford the pills, did you contemplate doing violent crime/robbery to feed your addiction(same for Heroin)? I dont normally bring up personal issues, notably my own, but seeing as youve been up front about something that Id deem off limits until much later in my life, I figure Ill share something that just happened to me last night.
I walked over to a local pizza chain(Little Caesars, probably heard of it?) and I was wearing a Hawaii shirt my brother got me during his trip there for his Honeymoon. Anyways, as Im walking up to the door, a heavy set Indian guy comes up and sucker punches me thinking my shirt was military. Repeatedly battered me until he ran off. I call the cops and find out this guy has a major screw loose and is a meth addict. Furthermore hes known by local authorities, hence hes got a record longer than Id tolerate as a citizen. Anyways, my question to you is at what point do you say enough is enough and a person with a Drug problem shouldnt see the light of day? Namely if you had committed crimes, how long would you throw yourself in jail and at what point would you revoke the right to be a free citizen? |
Quote:
I don't think people really understand the gravity of what you as an addict are willing to do to get your next fix. There's this preconceived notion that junkies are only violent to get "high". I, and people like me, couldn't find that further from the truth. Well into my addiction I had stopped getting "high". I would wake up feeling so fucking awful that the moment I got a dose, I'd be at my new normal. Then I could go about life like usual, pretending I didn't have a problem. It was achieving that normal that drove me to do awful things. Not an ambition to escape. Quote:
That's an extremely complicated question because I can't tackle it without dissecting America's contemporary views on drug use and the philosophy of recovery. But, what I can say is that everyone else thought I was beyond redemption too. And here I am, paying taxes, working, getting married, and living as a productive human being. However, while I do believe certain sensitivities should be applied to those first-time offending addicts who want to recover in terms of available treatment, there are also points where your crimes deserve to be punished to the furthest extent of the law. Addiction is not an excuse for anything and it's paramount to recovery to learn to acknowledge those mistakes, own them, and be better. If that means that the crimes one has committed deserve life imprisonment decided by a judge, than so be it. But it is neither black and white nor for me to make a decision on. |

Some more questions because I can’t let a good thread die.
Favorite food? Favorite dessert? Favorite video game(including Pokémon)? Why don’t you use your Sylveon images when responding in M&G? Come across as too strong or not appropriate for an introduction? Cats, Dogs, both or neither? Buy or Rent? Which Monopoly do you pursue in the game of Monopoly? Are you sorry when playing the game Sorry? Ever play Twister? If not, would you? What’s your suggestion for next year’s theme for the Get Together? |
why do you have such a nice aesthetic tho? because I am living for this pink, sylveon pastelly flair you got going on.
|
Whats your favorite type of flower? :3
How long would you pet a Pikachu for? How long would you pet an Eevee for? ^_^ What kind of ice cream would you feed to Kirby? Do you like to use nice scented air fresheners for your bedroom so its smells pretty? ;3 |
First off, lol you and the different sylveon faces. Secondly what made you a sylveon fan?
|
IT APPEARS I MISSED A FEW SORRY EVERYONE
Quote:
Ice cream! I just think it looks a little too crazy. I don't want them to think that's what everyone on PC does lol Both both both both love kitties and puppies both Buy for sure. But I do rent a house out! Monopoly? it's been 20 years since i played that. Same with sorry, but i'd venture that no, I wouldn't be >:) I have as a kid and heck yeah i would if I had irl friends! Ummm... someone smarter than me can answer this one lol https://i.imgur.com/c63BzDI.png Quote:

As long as it would let me! For slightly longer than the Pikachu cause it can't shock me lol Kirby seems like a Cotton Candy ice cream lover to me I do! Lavender, in fact. :) Quote:
https://i.imgur.com/gMQGI4t.png |
Not to be a thorn in the side but you skipped favorite video game(including Pokémon)? Your favorite game involve Pokémon or is it another franchise entirely? For me, it’s hard to say(since I have soooo many interests) but if I had to pick a game it’d be X-Wing. Old school flight sim that had great single player(since online multiplayer wasn’t a thing yet) and I’d purposely pick fights with Capital Ships since the most they could do to me was fire their Turbolasers. They didn’t add Concussion Missile launchers until Tie Fighter was released sometime later(along with different classes of ships as well). TLDR: Star Wars universe for the win.
Btw, if you want an idea for Get Together next year, how about it be based on four corresponding Pokémon types: Fairy, Dark, Psychic and Poison. Fairy beats Dark, Dark beats Psychic, Psychic beats Poison and Poison beats Fairy. Mascots for each team can be determined beforehand but seeing as you’ll likely leap and claim Team Fairy, it’s only a foregone conclusion what the mascot would be.... **cough Sylveon cough**. For the other teams, I’m thinking Umbreon, Mew and Poipole. |
Oh shoot, sorry! I've got quite a few favorites so I'll try to keep the list small-ish.
Monster Hunter, Hollow Knight, Animal Crossing, Metal Gear Solid, Elder Scrolls / Fallout, Kirby, and of course Pokemon! Also yes Star Wars ftw! I've not played anything but Knights of the Old Republic 2 (which was also fantastic btw) but I am a HUGE Star Wars fan. I'll have to post pics of all my lego models one of these days lmao. |

X-Wing 93 Spoiler:
X-Wing 95(ignore the commentary) Spoiler:
I never played SWTOR but I keep getting told I should have. Like anything from Blizzard? Like Diablo(1-3), Starcraft(1-2) or Warcraft(1-3). We ignore WoW... lol. Hmm one more question: Walk, Bike or Drive? |
I always liked Torchlight and Starcraft but only seldom played them. I had fun, but it didn't really hold my attention for long.
I walk if I'm able and drive if I can't. Walking is good for you! And I live fairly close (within a few miles) to a few locations so I don't mind it one bit. But in terms of going to work or school and stuff like that, I pretty much have to drive. I kinda basically live in the woods where everything is at least a ten mile drive. That would take me forever to walk lol. And we have almost zero public transport, which I'd gladly take if it, you know, existed. User Went can back me up on that, lol. I've never been much for biking though. I don't know why! Even as a kid I never biked. Thanks for the videos though! I'll look into it! n_n |

I like RTS games, just the same as I like FPS games. I just suck at them lol.

Maybe you and I can do Starcraft some time if you have it :P Oh and what do you think of my Get Together idea? |
Have you ate macarons before? :D What flavor did you like best?
Who was your favorite travel buddy of ash's? Did you have a favorite stuffed toy as a kid? Or another favorite toy? What kind of toy was it? :) |
Which size are you? I’m none of the above or at worst the first one. |
Jo did you make these cool Sylvy response images?!
|
Hi Jo! No questions from me, just wanted to say hello :)
|
Am not letting you off the hook from AMA's :P Before I ask a question, please chime in on what path Lutin is to take in FTE(yes I'm thorough). Now, do you consider Sylveon to be a Christmas Pokemon?
|
I think waiting over two months for a reply is long enough no? I come with a new question: What about Star Wars appeals to you and what do you look forward to within the Franchise? Do you like the direction Disney is going in or do you think it was a mistake for LucasArts to sell the rights to them? Clone Wars or Rebels?
