Yeah, Zekrom was Cucumber, and Reshiram was Pickle (according to that glossary I hastily compiled, which I'll be posting in TCTI soon). Thanks for the encouragement, though. XD
AWESOME! Thanks for the Bidoof GIF, and they're still as mesmerizing as ever! @_@
I know, right? Even when I go just to do a minor edit on TVTropes (I am like a spelling freak on there so much, it's not even funny. Several times, I've done like 5+ edits to ONE page because of spelling, italicizing, linking, and/or other stuff. >_>), I can get stuck there for hours sometimes, even. It's fun learning the "definitions" of all the different Tropes though, and it's like new ones pop up everyday...I kind of hate it when some egregiously (sorry, I've always wanted to say that word) overlap, though, because then it just seems like fluff or Tropes for the sake of Tropes.
You DON'T know who Nob Ogasawara is? 0_0 Whoa...I guess you could read this thread and this article for clarification. He was the main translator responsible for all the English game dialogue text from RBY up to and including Platinum Version. I assume he had a hand in much of the humorous text in the games...i.e., pervy Celadon Gym man, the "GRAH KEEHAUL IT ALL!" Rusturf Tunnel Team Aqua Grunt (AKA the dude who stole Peeko in RSE), and the cute little rapping girl in front of the Slateport Seashore House.
LOL; how does his name make you think his stay with Game Freak was brief? Due to his involvement with every main game from RBY to Platinum, he's been there nearly as long as Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori themselves! XD And he's a freaking Black Belt in the games, to boot! :cer_laugh:
Seconded your comment about Whitlea's mother being hot. I'm VERY glad her physical-related genes passed on to Whitlea.
Sandshrew is adorable though... For a win-win situation, I believe you should have White's mother as your avatar, and have Sandshrew as your profile picture (or you can switch the two around). Set your profile options so that your YouTube video doesn't replace your profile picture (IIRC, you can still have it displayed in your profile, albeit in a smaller box that lines up with all those boxes on the right side of your profile). This way, you can still preserve your video, Sandshrew can still look adorable, and teh hotness that is White's mom can be displayed for all to see. :D
PLEASE tell me that White's mom has full-body stock art somewhere... :cer_love:
