    This is a thread about emoticons, or smilies.

    It's a way to express how we're feeling through text messages, chat, and email. We have text emoticons, and we also have these emoticons PC had provided us.
    [PokeCommunity.com] :) >_> D: ^__^ \o


    Do you use emoticons to express your feelings through messages? How often do you use them? Do you prefer text emoticons, or animated/picture emoticons? What is your favorite emoticon/smiley, if you have one?

    Oh man, you're just asking for the residents of (This thread https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/305016) to come in and talk about how much they hate Emotes.

    I use them a LOT when I feel like typing without using punctuation, but otherwise, it depends. I usually just hotlink pictures and reactionary gifs if possible, if anything, but I can't help the ocassional "xD" and "<3" time and time again.
     
    To me, they're a form of punctuation.

    . - period. statements.
    ! - excitement!
    ? - huh?
    :P - just joking :P
    :p - being playful :p
    :\ or :/ - I don't know about this :\
    :] - awkward happiness :]
    :[ - oh :[

    and so on.
     
    I randomly use emoticons in my post. :3 I don't know why, I just think they're fun so I use them usually at least once per post. <.< Sometimes more.
     
    I use emoticons here and there; they're fun little things. I try not to use them, mainly because I want to challenge myself in developing my ability to communicate tone and feelings through just words (which is pretty hard to do on the internet!!)


    :3
     
    I use quite a few emoticons on the internet, but some can be used a lot. Here's ones that I do use:

    :S
     
    I only use emotes here, on PC. My texts, emails, etc. are all emote-free.
    :D D:
    :P :p

    I use emoticons very sparingly on normal posts, maybe even when talking with friends, though with more intimate ones I tend to cave in. When I do use emoticons it's usually lesser known ones like: OTL
     
    I tend to use emoticons all of the time. You will rarely see me VM or IM someone without an emoticon because I feel they make your post seem more friendly.

    Common ones I use are :] :[ ;] ;) :( :'( :p :D D: .-. ;-; >_< and many more XD
     
    Though I try really hard to limit my emoticon use, as I know there are people who tend to think you're a weabo if you do that, but I find it difficult. U wU I often put emoticons at the end of my sentences to convey a better feel of how I'd be talking if this wasn't the internet. P:

    Except I actually really dislike image emoticons, so I tend to actually go out of my way to avoid them. > u> Such as using P: as opposed to :P

    I also really like kaomoji. O uO They're just so cute. My favorite one is (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
     
    Well, I tend to over-use this: :D, really, it annoys me more then you could know. xD

    I always use smilies, without them, PC would just be another one of the forums which are harsh and uncaring. :P This may not count, but if I REALLY like the person, I use the standard love heart: <3

    Yup, Ima weirdo. :U
     
    I'm pretty fond of emoticons. I guess I just feel like they add a bit of "friendliness" to your post. My more common ones are:

    :D (Extreme Happiness)
    :) Regular Happiness)
    :3 (In between :) and :D)
    :p (Jokes)
    =/ (Sorry)
    O.o (What...?)
    >.> (Really? Seriously?)
    XD (LOLOL)

    :3
