Totodile. I like all of them tbh, with Bayleef being my favourite middle form. But Totodile and Feraligatr are great, and the first choice I went with back in Silver, my first game.
Quote:

Favorite Johto Legendary?
Lugia, followed by Raikou. Again, silver bias here, but Raikous was my favourite of the legendary beasts.

Sheep or Fairy?
*looks at signature* :shifty-eyed:
Quote:

Theme for next Get Together?
The theme will be "happening at a time I can properly participate in more than a sole event".
Quote:

Want to be apart of Team Necrozma or Team Poipole?
I prefer Poipole's design, although Team Necrozma has a good dental plan.
Quote:

Best series in the Anime?
I don't watch it. D= Pokemon Generations...? That was good.
Quote:

Date of Birth?
6th of November, so birthday was pretty recent!

Blue! Lighter shades of it. But I like yellow too because football

A basic one, yes. Listening by far, and I'd say I can understand a fair bit, it's just not being grammatically sound with it. Hardly ever read in Polish on the other hand...
Quote:

genre(s) of the last book you read?
Comedy/fantasy.

Bob and Bill are two characters I came up with many years back, before I discovered forums. Two dumb characters, basically, as part of some comedy scripts I wrote. I went with it as a penname of sorts when joining forums.
Quote:

Idk how much he is for you, but he is a great character with fantastic lines. =) He is the one and only Eggman.
Quote:

Various. Daily articles are what I've been doing lately, because I have an interest in Pokemon stuff. As for fics, mostly comedy, because I like the genre and like to make people laugh (and also I enjoy writing). Started with a parody of a Pokemon game (Colosseum) which I massively underestimated in terms of time and effort to finish it, but by gum I did it.

Sure!
Quote:

If you had to eat something really horrible, what would you eat?
I probably would refrain because while I don't mind trying new stuff, if I know it tastes bad I just plain do not want to eat it at all!
Quote:

What a weird question. ._. Uhh, blue?
Quote:

I like it overall, but not a big fan of it. I remember loving the books as a kid but later ones weren't as fun for me. Did read them all though. Only saw some of the movies - the first three or four and then the last one.
Quote:

Dream job?
Do whatever I like and get paid for it. :V
Quote:

People.
Quote:

Would you mind minding the never mind?
I never minded the miner's mind while never minding the mining mind's never mind.

CodeHelmet November 12th, 2018 10:29 AM

Ever played Fire Emblem?
Ever played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon?
Would you be interested in playing a hybrid of the two?
Ever been to the PokeTrivia board?
Have you seen Fire Type Emblem game within?
Would you play it? If Yes, what would it take to coercepersuade you to signup? If not, why not?
Would you play if Sheep played?
If you play, could you convince Sheep to play?
If you play, what Pokemon would you go as?
Am I being annoying asking you these questions?

Oh boy, I sure have. First one was Shadow Dragon; I've since played FE7, FE8 (Sacred Stones is my favourite and so I've played multiple times, haha), a little bit of a translation of FE6, some of the Tellius, Awakening in full, Birthright and most of Conquest of Fates, and beat Echoes early this year. Quite a fun series. I always go classic i.e. permadeath. :V
Quote:

I have not. I heard mixed things about the series.
Quote:

I played a bit of Conquest (Japanese only so I didn't understand much) and enjoyed that fwiw, so yes!
Quote:

Ever been to the PokeTrivia board?
Hardly, tbh.
Quote:

Have you seen Fire Type Emblem game within?
No.
Quote:

I'll have to look it up later, but I'll consider it! Depends what is involved really.
Quote:

Would you play if Sheep played?
Not just because she played, haha. We can't all enjoy the same games and things as each other!
Quote:

If you play, could you convince Sheep to play?
Depends how fun it is. =p
Quote:

If you play, what Pokemon would you go as?
I don't know. Is Ludicolo an option? :V
Quote:

No, maybe a bit confusing on the specificity of this game though, haha.

ive spoken to you about this before, but you seem to think that we're pretty safe from rogue planets and rogue black holes for the foreseeable future.

that being said, if there's anything we do need to worry about (aside from climate change, of course), what in your mind would stick out as being an immediate threat to this planet?

El Héroe Oscuro November 13th, 2018 11:57 AM

If you could redesign any Pokmon, which would you choose and how would you make it different?

What is your biggest goal for Daily at the moment?

I have a good idea as to your profession, but what you say is the end game in terms of what you personally would like to achieve?

Idk about 'immediate" but certainly way more realistic:

- rogue asteroids/meteorites (the other two are so remote/that's not how they work, these are in the solar system and could happen
- a very strong solar flare that happens to go right at us. This is unlikely and wouldn't kill us, but there is the potential to severely damage our communication systems. Given how reliant a lot of us are to technology, would be very detrimental.

Ambipom so it doesn't have yucky rubber hands coming out of its butt. Ew.
Quote:

Hard to say. After LGPE releases and has its time in the limelight so we (particularly I) can move off from making guide articles for it, I want to see more creative articles, including by myself. More fanwork features, analysis articles on niche stuff, etc. Moving away from news to such a large degree, basically.

Quote:

Generally this is being a professor and that would be hella neat, but also this is hard to achieve just due to numbers (many more postdocs than there are staff positions). I will see if I continue liking the academic life as well (and because when you move up in staff it becomes less about doing research and more managing projects/people, grant proposals, etc), but the other option is to then go into industry using skills acquired from my work researching astronomy stuff, say data science, and going from there. I need to have some flexibility if I'm being realistic.

With astronomy specifically I want to stay in radio astronomy and be part of the major science projects in the era of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array, a massive radio telescope project underway, and currently with smaller "pathfinder" in action - which I've been working with atm!).
