Hey, count me in, of course~

Who was the first one you battled against?
Now anyone who knows me or of me will know that of course I battled Dent. In fact, that was the tiebreaker decision for me in choosing a starter. I was debating between Miju and 'Tarja for a long time.

Nutella · Apr 27, 2011

Yay~ a member! =D I'm happy with just a couple. Exclusivity is nice.

Who was the first one you battled against?

I battled against Dent first as well. Most people I know did! I played the game before I watched the anime. I fell in love with all of them! I always pick Water starters on a first playthrough, because a) the convenience of having a party member that can Surf and b) because I tend to prefer their design the most.

I'm very grateful for the artisitic direction, btw. In fact, I will appoint you a special position in the club! =D

Aquacorde · Apr 27, 2011

Thank you very much~ I'll have the everything prepared by tomorrow. ^_^

~~watch this club end up with the same active members as Cafe Mocha and Fabulous~~

Water starters are generally my choice as well~ They're generally quite good.

So, something on my mind, people have told me I tend to act like anime!Dent. (a) Does anyone else see that resemblance and (b) which of the trio do you find yourself to be most similar to? ~~and (c) how's my new sig looking?~~

Nutella · Apr 27, 2011

I LOLd. Too true! I'm just waiting for AshPikastar. She has to join, because Chili is her avatar. I believe she has no choice in the matter!

Water starters are generally my choice as well~ They're generally quite good.

Definitely. I like Water starters, but not really Water Pokemon, if that makes sense. I generally only play through once. Yellow was awesome 'cos you could get every starter. Empoleon was gold!

So, something on my mind, people have told me I tend to act like anime!Dent. (a) Does anyone else see that resemblance

I wish I could offer a good answer, but I don't know you very well. >_< Crucify me if you must, but every time you use "~" after a word, it reminds me of how (Japanese) Dent adds flair and extensions to his speech. The extensions being on vowels, mostly. So err... that's the resemblance I see? =S

(b) which of the trio do you find yourself to be most similar to?

That's an excellent topic! I shall add it to the list~ I find myself the most similar to Chili- I'm impulsive and loud. Also, seeing as I imagine Chili to be stubborn, dedicated and obnoxious... maybe I'm in a degree of transference...

and (c) how's my new sig looking?

That's a legit question, and it's looking marvelous! I saw that pic on Pixiv, and ZOMG!Saved it, of course. You know the one!

Nope, she doesn't~ I would say "When she sees this, she won't join just to spite us" but I don't think she'll be able to help herself. xD
Ily AP~

I'm a fan of a lot of water Pokemon- Gyarados, Azumarill, Milotic, the water starter lines, etc.
Empoleon! One of the few Sinnoh native I came to like~

Hmm, I see you as having Chili's brash nature, but Cress's intelligent sarcasm~

Thank you~ I dunno where I found this one, but I think I'll be keeping it for a while~

Exactamondo, even though I don't know her well. Alternatively, I could just PM her EVERY HOUR I AM ONLINE until she caves in. It's win-win for the club!

Empoleon! One of the few Sinnoh native I came to like~

Doesn't sound like you were a big fan of the Sinnoh Pokemon. I kinda felt that way about Hoenn. Mudkip, despite its meme status, is my least favourite Water starter, though I respected his eventual nullification of Electric moves.

Hmm, I see you as having Chili's brash nature, but Cress's intelligent sarcasm~

If I am a mixture, I wonder if they have a purple-haired cousin? The Psychic user, haha. Of course, I don't like the threat to the trio, basic-typed dynamic.

Thank you~ I dunno where I found this one, but I think I'll be keeping it for a while~

No worries~♥ I especially like Cress in this one. I wish I can post floods of Sanyou pics! I guess I have my album to do that with. ~~All the while advertising my obsession with them~~

AshPikastar · Apr 27, 2011

I just noticed this since PC been down for me and I was going crazy.....Wait a minute. I see what you two are doing there.

1. Who was the first one you battled against?

I battled against Dento/Cilan when I started off with Oshawott! Man that battle was fun but he was a bit hard for me at first.

2. Which of the trio do you find yourself to be most similar to?

Out of all three of them I would probably say Poddo. I can be a bit too confident sometimes when it comes to a few things.

I loved Hoenn~ Though I despise that meme...
Sinnoh felt too... I dunno. Wrong. The Pokemon seemed like bath toys.

I'll get on with a showcase site. ^_^

I don't know what you are talking about, and I will categorically deny all accusations inferring I have ulterior motives. Which I don't.

LOL @ the bath toy analogy! I used to be amused by the Mudkip meme, but it got old pretty quickly. It got replaced by "Smugleaf." I loved all the tertiary evolutions in Sinnoh. I'm sure my love of Dusknoir isn't introducing any bias whatsoever.

Cousins wouldn't affect it~

Especially if he's hot! XP

Aww~ You should own this club! You're doing all the work! =O

AshPikastar has fallen into the fell clutches... can she get out? ~~Does she want to get out?~~

Some members on PC IP address got banned for some reason but I'm back now. You all knew that I'll join the trio club. XD The front page now looks so adorable!

I'm pretty sure that came from bobandbill. :3
The Mudkip meme's origins were just... ":/", I suppose. And like I said on tumblr, it originated in 2005 and is still regularly referenced today. Good god, it should've been done within two years.
I don't like many tertiaries of Sinnoh. /slight nostalgia bias

I've got enough clubs to run~ This one I can pretend like I'm not running while actually doing work for it so I feel less pressured. ^_^

Ohh, you were one of the affected? I understand~
And thank you~

Regeneration · Apr 29, 2011

So you guys needed yet another club to spam around with random stuff? u_u Count me in too! ^___^

Who was the first one you battled against?
I chose Snivy, so Chili was the one I battled. It was dead easy; in fact, most of the gyms and the Elite 4 posed no problems at all.

Which leader are you most similar to?
Hmm.. Appearance wise, Cress I guess. ~~Yay it rhymes~~~

Nutella · Apr 29, 2011

So you guys needed yet another club to spam around with random stuff? u_u Count me in too! ^___^

I'm glad that you're not a HATURR. Welcome! This club is a legitimate ground for fans of the trio to join, of course. We never go off-topic... X)

Hmm.. Appearance wise, Cress I guess. Yay it rhymes~

Given your prodigious display or rhyming, I have given you an appropriate position! Hope you like it!

New topic to look like this is not a spamming club:

If the world became perfect tomorrow and Nintendo decided to release an anime and/or game series about the trio, what do you think it would be about?

Regeneration · Apr 29, 2011

I love my new position! Thank you~ <3

I can imagine a game where one member of the trio is a playable character. You get to do gym battles and stuff and kick every little kid's butt with an uber monkey who comes along your gym thinking they can become Pokemon Masters. >D And when one is confident enough, they can leave the gym and go on a regular adventure. *sigh* I'm sure Nintendo can't think of anything more than that.

Count me in
Who was the first one you battled against?
As I picked oshawott as my starter I battled Cilan. All I can say is it took like forever to beat him.

Using fire,water and grass to overcome the jounery of a lifetime. I suck at thinking XD

Mew~ · Apr 29, 2011

Must... join... club... NOW!

Who was the first one you battled against?
Well, I picked Oshawott in my japanese version of white so obviously I would have been put up against Dent, honestly this wasn't what made me love them so much though - as I first saw the trio in a preview for the Best Wishes anime. :3

Nutella · Apr 29, 2011

Welcome! It seems that Dent is the first one people have battled against the most. I like to think it's because of Dent's general fabulousness, but maybe, maybe, Oshawott is having some kind of effect.

As I picked oshawott as my starter I battled Cilan. All I can say is it took like forever to beat him.

I pretty much ground my Lillipup. I wasn't pleased with Pansear at the time, though I can't remember why...

They were represented quite nicely in the anime. Did you actually watch the episodes with their battles? All I can say is I had a ball

Well honestly I don't see myself in any of them, which is why I wish I could be just like them. xD

Start with hair dye!

Weespotty · Apr 29, 2011

Its dewott I bet. Pansear was my problem. Lillipup was no problem.

Well the monkeys did seem to be very difficult to defeat, but I got a Pansear as a gift from the lady near the dream yard which did make it much more easier the second time round.

Nutella said:

I.. might actually think about that. Blue... meh, Red... overrated? Green... now that would be interesting - Cilan and N both have Green hair and they seem to pull off an effect to some ladies, so maybe I can pull it off. xD

Nutella said:

Yup, both episodes 5 and 6 are my most favourite BW episodes so far. I do have to say though, it seems Cress was the only one who managed to beat Ash. :o
