Good luck!

I just found this picture of the boards when I remembered I had an old photobucket: someone alert supremepie[/member]

Did he ever elaborate on the hows and whys?

JMC asked me if I wanted to help him make a message board in October, but because I had started a new job at the exact same time I've been pretty hands off until the past couple weeks. It was just three or four of us at first as he was setting it up and asking for advice/opinions, and then he started privately inviting people in small waves until it went public on ASMB. Once the board is set up the way he wants it and he has more time and energy I think his plan is to start inviting and asking us to invite non-ASMB people so it can grow into its own thing. I didn't realize it would fall into the role of a literal replacement for ASMB until it happened.

I saw this just a few minutes ago. Carrie Fisher is the good kind of crazy, the kind we can all use right now. Best wishes for a healthy recovery.

no one yet also everyone you were milarkie

Should I start burning off my eggs now? I don't really want to load up my free triple-use incubators on 2k eggs though...

I just logged in to see if I could cash in on my Exeggutor again but it looks like he was finally knocked out. Four days in a row is now my record. I wish they game would send you a notification when it is time to collect or when a pokemon gets kicked out. Also, I hatched a 10k magby, and now I'm thinking their should be another sort option that keeps families together.

You were a shining beacon amidst a sea of turds

I can't say I missed that thread.

Huh, for some reason I just assumed the staging site was an archive and not a functioning board

The boards weren't completely dead? I thought they were completely shut down?

I have an exeggutor in a gym that's a few hours away from a third collect. I'm lucky if I can even collect once before I'm kicked out. I do think they should implement a one pokemon per species rule in gyms, because like you said, there are multiples of the same five over and over. I have yet to see an Electabuzz. There were some near stops on my walk from the office to my car, but it was always too cold and late to warrant a detour just for pokemon.

How generous, sacrificing him like that for the greater good

Could you possibly find where you saw that, if it is not too much trouble?

Also, there was a bunch of stuff in the trailers that didn't make it into the movie.

I'm curious about the legal hoops and hurdles to using Peter Cushing's likeness extensively. I liked that Krennic didn't have a posh accent like most imperial officers, it kind of spoke to his character's motivation to climb that ladder of success. Also, Vader's fortress was confirmed by Lucasfilm to be on Mustafar. That definitely adds layers to him, for that to be his "home." I have to think more about other things before mentioning any, not sure I'm ready to start discussions the spoilers.

I've found over the past few years that I'd much rather just spend $2.50 for a soda with unlimited refills than $5 per glass of beer. Even though I'm trading a buzz for future diabetes.

From what I've read, it is just the babies (except tyrogue) and they are only accessible via eggs. I presume they have replaced their first gen evolutions in the egg pool.

It is very easy for me to not spend money on this game, I live above a pokestop and nothing is time sensitive. I've been playing both the 3DS and mobile versions of pokemon shuffle since each came out closing in on two years ago and I also haven't dropped a dime on either, and they have special events every week that practically push you to need to spend to keep up.

Unlike ditto, I caught the event Pikachu right away. I also read that every gen 2 baby (except Tyrogue) had been added to the egg pool - not just Pichi and Togepi.

I think I just caught do many that I couldn't do it all with one egg. The two "batches" I did already were after I also had a decent amount of other pokemon to first time evolve for that bonus, and I burned through my caterpies and a little bit of the weedles. I'm trying to maximize the eggs, because I don't intend on dropping dollars on the game so they will come few and far between.

Just got a report so I'm just giving a friendly reminder to make sure in this kind of conversation that you're expressing criticism for the shows, and not of each other.

I just beat the grass challenge and met the Prof's wife. I am unsure about how I should proceed in the game in terms of a team - while I'm not interesting in stats and competitive stuff, I get a bit anal about trying to 'maximize' my pokemon gameplay, in terms of which pokemon I carry and train and the XP they get and things like that. The past few gens I kind of defaulted on using a lot of the same pokemon multiple games over, and then a little in X but primarily in Alpha Sapphire I tried to rotate as many pokemon through my team in the most efficient way possible - like an evolution factory mill for the pokedex. I've noticed I'm definitely doing the factory mill thing again; the new pokeride system makes it a whole lot easier to free up team slots so it's easy to have three or four slots rotating out relatively frequently, or to in theory switch out a bunch of pokemon based on the area or challenge type without fear of getting stuck without an HM. Though I've never taken advantage of it, I really like the concept that you can spontaneously switch in a pokemon you've just caught on the spot when you already have a full team; it really finally gives the heal ball an actual purpose. So in my head I'm anal but also there's the voice telling me that being anal kind of ruins the fun of casual gameplay, kind of like perfectionist singplayer playthroughs or a multiplayer games with tryhards. I think when I played Alpha Sapphire I had the same "dilemma" wherein I felt like I didn't want to use pokemon I always use at the expense of the 95% of the 900 pokemon I've never really used beyond catching/evolving for the pokedex and the game gifted me a solid pokemon from the start (shiny metagross/snorlax) that is too convenient not to use through the whole game, but I can never just catch and use a bunch of random pokemon for variety's sake. So I think, like in AS, I will just default into continuing to factory mill evolve pokemon on a few slots, snorelax will still tank everything in the first slot (Happy Hour for battles, Hold Back for catching) the whole game, and my starter will stay on the team but be underused. Which means it will more or less be the same experience on my end as the last game, and the one before.
