If we're talking about the games, I hate encountering any Bug Pokemon that's also part Poison type (Weedle, Venonat, Spinarak and Venipede come to mind right away). Much like everyone else, I hate having my Pokemon get poisoned so often, especially early in the games.

In real life though, I think running into a Scyther would be terrifying. It's the same size as a small adult, it has scythes for hands, and it can fly. No thanks.

Encountering any of these Bugs irl wouldn't be a fun experience. That's what I really like about Bug Pokémon, though. They're not small and boring, but rather unique, unreal, and dangerous. It would be fun to battle one, but I may be too unnerved to fight back :(

Speaking of Unnerve, what is your favorite berry?

I think I'd choose the Enigma Berry. The berry is very enigmatic because of that mysterious question mark pattern. It's also rare and 'it has the power of the stars.'

Oh goodness, Brendino. Having to encounter a Scyther irl is super scary, I must agree. Like...imagine those sharp arms. :O

& Favorite berry? Probably Persim Berry. Cures confusion right after it becomes confused. :D

Persim berry is a life saver. Confusion is the worst status ailment imo. But Sitrus berry is nifty too, of course.

GUYS I had a dream that I bought a 3DS and Pokémon X!!! So vivid. But then I woke up, so disappointed. Haha. Is this a sign that I should by them?

I don't have anything that I particularly want, though Charizard 3DS XL coming out in North America would be lovely, not that that's likely to happen here.

You've made a terrible decision not to buy them earlier.

Is it bad enough that I've already gotten bored of playing Pokémon Y? I dunno why, but it's probably the soonest I've ever gotten bored of playing a Pokémon game since its release.

Did you try catching every Pokemon available? Maison?

Besides the fact that it took me longer to finish X than any of the other main series (real life time, not in game time), I definitely became bored with it immediately after finishing it. I think I've only played seven hours during November and this month combined. I blame the lack of post game activity and I'm not a big fan of constant battling like the Maison and Chateau. I'm not going to worry about completing the Pokédex until Pokémon Bank and Transfer are released. I'm still enjoying the soundtrack, though :D

Thankfully, I'm not bored of Pokémon Y just yet. I am done with the Looker quests and everything, but yeah… I'm still not bored with it. At the moment, I'm spending time building a competitive team and doing battles online. Maybe you should try the same, Zach? :o

I... still haven't beaten Pokemon Y yet. I keep kidding myself that it's because I wanted the game to last longer than just a couple days (like I did with White 2), but I haven't touched it since November, and don't have any desire to. Granted, I always go through phases like that with Pokemon where I'll get bored of it and not want to play for a couple of months, and then I'll get the urge to play again and spend hours at a time playing.

I'm guessing that I'll be playing it again after Christmas when Pokemon Bank/Transfer come out, though. I've got dozens of Pokemon I'd like to have in my game, and that'll give me a good reason to finish it up.

Didn't know this was a chit-chat based on the link, so I'm pretty much jumping in from nowhere (I literally thought this'd have more to do with Christmas :P).

I agree with being wary of bug types iRL. Well, maybe. See, I already have a strong disliking towards most insects already. Pokemon as a whole though are way smarter, so that's the one thing that makes me slightly more confident about them. Sure, Scyther may have sickle hands, but it's also not some hive minded creature that acts solely on impulses like a mindless robot. I can't say the same thing about these stupid little farrow ants...

Beedrill look to be worse than yellow jackets, though. They're always angry it seems. Or maybe the anime just likes to use them as quick threat material and doesn't give them their real dues. They're guilty of stuff like that, too. :\

Favorite berry? I don't play the games intently enough to really have one. I seem to get paralyzed an awful lot, though, so I grow and use more Cheris than anything.

And as for playing the newest game, eh, I'm on badge five going on six. I wouldn't say I've gotten bored with it, but other things keep coming up, and when actually given free time, I tend to use that time more productively than not. That is, I tend to draw or work on a solo game project rather than watch TV or play video games. It's always been that way. I'm certain I have a laundry list of games I actually like but never finished.

Other Stuff That's Totally Uncool and Not Worth Your Time!

There is a golden prefix that sits on most chit chat threads in sections :) but maybe we should make the title a bit clearer anyways, thanks for pointing it out. They're playing so much with the dcc title down in the off-topic sections so I wanted to imitate ;D

That's an awfully expensive Christmas gift. How about I just send you the cases? They're still in pretty good condition!

If I were to get anything Pokémon-related for Christmas, I'd go with plushes. Ones that feature sixth-gen Pokémon, preferably. xD Pokémon t-shirts would be nice, too. I used to have a Pikachu tee, but somehow, I ended up losing it last year. Spent hours searching for it, but I still couldn't find it.

You know what I really want for Christmas? A Pikachu jacket. With ears and tail and all that. I don't think Hot Topic sells it anymore, which is a bummer though.

All I Want For Christmas Is Brendino
Doesn't everybody?

If I could get just one Pokemon related thing for Christmas, it'd be the poster in this picture (it's a little small, but it was the best one I could find). I had the exact same one growing up, but it eventually got torn and I had to throw it away. I've been looking for a few years to replace it, but the only ones I've ever found were reprints that were half the size.

If could get one thing Pokémon-related for Christmas, it'd definitely be more plushes! I don't really have anywhere to store them for now until I get a bigger place to live, but I'd love to have a huge collection of Pokémon plushes. I'll be in my 40's and show everyone my Pokémon plush collection like, "Hey, check out this vintage Oshawott plush I got during an event back in 2010!" (or 2011, I can't remember lol)

Your kids and grandkids will love you.


So have you guys got any pokemon or PC related new year resolutions? I for one want to make PGen even better and start up some more events or contests.

I'm impressed we are soon at the end of the favorite pokemon voting tournament!

Quoting from our forum rules: "The PokéCommunity is not a platform to sell goods or services." So you'll have to take your query elsewhere on the web, I'm afraid. Try looking around official sites selling the consoles and games and compare prices, or maybe Amazon?

Also, if you are looking to trade any pokémon, it's the Trade Corner you should be visiting! :) Good luck.

Haven't made much friends in PC this year, aside from only about five or six. Next year, I'll try to make even more. The more friends there are, the better, right? n__n I'll also try to raise my activity a bit. At the moment, I just don't feel as if I'm very active, unfortunately.

Oh, wow. When does it end, exactly? o: Are we going to be have any other contests/tournaments after this?

My Résolutions are: finish all challenges that I start, complete the XY National Dex, finish Ruby, FireRed, XD, Diamond, Pearl, White, Conquest, Ranger, Guardian Signs, and Gates to Infinity (these are all the games that I started over the past couple years), watch every anime episode that I haven't watched yet (DP and early BW), and maybe grow my TCG collection.

My PClutions are still being thought about. Maybe I should post more outside of Alternative Pokémon Discussions?

I think the last round starts when 2014 begins. I don't know if there will be two semifinal rounds with half of the past winners or if all of the past winners are going to compete against each other in the next round. Let's hope that there will be more contests :15:

It's hard to believe that it's been going on since July and that it's almost over... What am I going to base my signature off of now?
