There is literally nowhere good online to talk about Pokemon. Serebii is full of kids, Bulbagarden has ridiculously strict mods, Pokebeach is dead, /vp/ is full of furries, and the Gamefaqs boards just discuss the competitive aspects.

Agreed on Serebii. Bulbagarden I can’t say since I’ve never been but I’ve heard stuff from Pod, Don’t know about Pokebeach, and what is exactly wrong with furries? >:C Not all of us are bad, yanno.

Gamefaqs used to be okay way back in the day when G/S/C came out, now it’s just sad.

Oh I can tell you about Bulbagarden. It only has one problem but it’s a doozy—the mods. I used to *be* a Bulbagarden mod and I got fired because I called another mod out on not doing their job. The other mod threw a fit and left and somehow this was all my fault and I was for some reason supposed to apologize for his gross overreaction. And that wasn’t nearly the first issue. I was told many times that we couldn’t be seen as disagreeing on anything, which translated to “if you disagree with the admins you need to shut up”, even in the private mod rooms. And the reason they wanted to come off as a united front was to be seen as unopposable. They said many times that Bulbagarden isn’t a democracy, it’s a dictatorship. This was supposed to get us to WANT to obey? I stayed on as long as I did so that I could try to change things! Although I probably should have figured years ago that it was a fool’s errand considering that I was even *punished* for continuing to oppose the ban on discussing voice actors. They told me for years that the members weren’t “mature” enough to discuss them (they blamed SOVA, a group supporting the 4Kids actors, despite that problems from them had been minimal and most flames came from people trolling them). They refused to take these incidents as individual occurances despite having a forum specifically *for* controversial issues. Apparently world matters aren’t nearly as serious as discussing voice actors. So many things. It’s a nice board if the mods don’t wedge themselves in, but they seriously need to get beat with the clue-by-four.

Been feeling like absolute crap today. For the past few days. I have no idea why.

Someone yelled at me at the store yesterday. Apparently it’s rude now to stop behind someone when they’re turning with a cart! Who knew! Man, what the fuck is wrong with people?

And the way out is really hilly. Dad doesn’t seem to get that I’m *terrified* of heights and he should really SLOW THE FUCK DOWN when he goes down especially steep declines.

Can’t get anything done either. The very idea of doing things like replying to Smash or getting my sales worked on are just overwhelming.

How can I be stressed? Nothing *happens* in my life!

Peeved by all the lower agents around and you can’t decide who to manipulate first? Is Giovanni doing those annoying things like living? Or are you just trying to remember where you left your mask because no one recognizes you without it?

“I see the significance of it now… The pokeball. Why its imagery has existed long before our modern technology, why it has permeated through ancient times, why it has been with us since the dawn of humanity.

It is not simply a device, it is a beginning of life.
It is an ovum. That which contains the information for all of creation.”

Remarkably, although pointless toys and games were something my parents insisted I refrain from, I was able to get my hands on one, by the way of a classmate dumping it on my desk saying ‘take the stupid machine’.

I think I owned it for the grand total of two days before the thing apparently died.

Turns out, I was supposed to give it attention when it cried.

I’m not sure how I was meant to know that.

Here I supposed you would have used it for parts immediately.

Also I can’t help but be amused by people in the Shaymin tag assessing its personality as “shy” and “quiet”.

Did they *see* the movie? Sure that was just one Shaymin but still now. It also wasn’t stated that it was that far removed from the behavior of normal Shaymins.

And did I ever mention about how I’d love to see a video of that movie to “Gratitude”? The funny thing is that other than the chorus, it reminds me of Zero, especially talking about Newton (“But when I think of you/and what you’ve done to me/you took away my hooooooope you took away my fantasy!/I once had lots of pride/the world was in my hands/I lived way at the top/in castles made of sand”). I didn’t even like that movie all that much.

I would like a Cakemin please~

I have to say, that graphic artist on the mockup makeup ads telling people to send a message to her school by reblogging is really rubbing me the wrong way. She assumes that she was turned down because the ads were judged by men (during which time she asserts that women are pressured into wearing makeup—what? I’ve never felt any pressure at all to wear makeup) and basically posits that the whole dismissal is some sort of sexist issue.

Honestly, I would have turned them down too. You know why? Because makeup ads really should demonstrate what the makeup looks like ON people. You don’t advertise clothes by showing them on hangers. You don’t advertise paint by showing it in buckets. Not to mention that the wording in a lot of them was incredibly heavy-handed. They come off as more of mantras than anything else.

Would it seriously have killed her to find out why she was declined BEFORE siccing people on her school?
