What social standard are you basing this off, and/or is this the bar you have set for yourself?

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.

CrimsonMajestic August 30th, 2018 4:54 PM

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?

Sothis August 30th, 2018 4:59 PM

Fellow 1990 baby!
And I often feel that way too, actually. I tend to think I'm immature because of my interests?

I do, but the majority is playful and seldom actually critical. I agree that anyone who thinks themselves better for not liking "kids" entertainment should have a good look at themselves.

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!

Amen, brother. ;)

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?

colours August 30th, 2018 5:07 PM

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.

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!

CodeHelmet August 30th, 2018 5:12 PM

Would you be interested in this? Do know I can be very persistent and unapologetic in doing so.

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!

colours August 30th, 2018 5:22 PM

does your fiance like pokemon as much as you do

im asking out of pure curiosity

Battle#2 is about to start. Lycan has two more people to place before he carries out Round 1 moves. If you hurry up and sign up, pick a starting spot and think of a Round 1 move, you too can join in. There's lots of Poison Types on this map so Fairy Types would be at a disadvantage. There are two Dragon Types though, including the boss so yeah lol. There are sure to be ambushes and other mini-bosses spawning later on in the battle but if you intend to play, you'll have to join in as a non-legendary/non-mythical NFE. Hence if you want to be Sylveon, you'd have to be Eevee(although I dk how to evolve into Sylveon in PMD). You can be w/e Pokemon you want though :)

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?

Has he played a Pokemon game & (competitively) battled?

I have a suspicion most human beings bear this same sentiment.

Have you considering using organic tobacco?

Indeed, there is always someone older than you (and me), and they're probably dead. :laugh:

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!

#1) My dad? No, haha, he has never played Pokemon. But he did make an effort to be interested in it when I was a child. He tried his best lol.

#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?

Yes! He plays Pokémon just as much as I do and even has an account on PC. He’s just not a big internet person lol. I don’t think he could ever like fairies as much as I do, however!

CodeHelmet August 31st, 2018 6:24 AM

What are your plans for your BDay? Mine are to lay at home and sleep.

LadyJirachu August 31st, 2018 1:43 PM

Good god, if I could do that, I would be soooo happy lol. But I'll probably have a nice day out with people. My mother-in-law is a great baker and, as I mentioned in an above post, my dad supports my Pokemon card habit so, who knows? ;)

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?

The moment they were announced! I've always liked fae and folklore like that. Their mischievousness and playfulness. The connection with nature and magic. It's something I've always felt drawn to and intrigued by, since there's such a unique duality to them. I don't necessarily relate to the spirituality of fairies, but I love what their contemporaries represent. :)

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.

Nah September 2nd, 2018 12:17 PM

What are "body mods" exactly?

Favorite drink(s)?
