Think my highest right now is a 1458 Cloyster. I'm about to run to the shops because apparently today isn't my day. Kitchen is always warm and my cupboard is next to the oven, so put bread + dark cupboard + heat together and.. you can work it out. There goes breakfast.
It's raining outside and I have my presentation to plan. Won't take long so I need to figure out what to put on each slide and which bits to focus on for 5 minutes. Might find a video for extra time wasting skills just to visually aid that is. Then find a study or two to talk about.. Speaking of hunts, I'd like to finish a few before December is up. Might pump some stuff into Honey+ and hope I can actually hatch a few shinies; Burmy [Steel], Lunatone, Baltoy, Emolga and Swablu need to finish soon pls. Edit: Also, updated the Subway guide with some correct information and added in a couple of lists of when you win particular items. Obligatory feed the rat pls, 91 berries left!

I can't wait for that tournament later this month. Free 50 BP just for participating. Using that for a King's Rock, to complete my dex. lol I'm not sure... I could use the BP, but I'm probably far too embarrassed since I know exactly nothing about competitive battling. But I want the BP. But that means someone is going to see how much I suck.

Well I'm feeling a lot better now that I was all week. It still hurts to stand up for long periods of time, so I sit down every so often to rest my back. Hey if my coworkers can spend 5 minutes going for a smoke, I can sit for 5 minutes.
I got paid some money today, which is great because I had less than 50 dollars to my name. Seeing as I lost a bunch of hours due to being taken off work, I need all the money I can get. I lost at least 25 of the 40 hours I normally work a week, which is a lot of money. I still need to buy Christmas gifts for a few people so I can get that finished. I'm so behind on everything this year. In Pokemon Go my highest CP Pokemon is a 1621 Vaporeon. I found it as a 800ish CP Eevee. The highest Pokemon I caught was a 1007 CP Gengar when the Halloween event was happening. I still don't have a Ditto yet, I think they don't exist in my town . -------------------- |

A learning vessel of several lessons to make me more clever. Group: +Donors Posts: 1 503 Joined: 15-May 09 From: Seattle area Member No.: 23 405 My Loves |
Whoa, I was gone for a while there. Well, I was celebrating the wintertime in Vienna, so I guess I can't complain too much about that. What a beautiful city, especially during Christmastime.
I finished Pokémon Moon before I left for my trip so that I could spend time filling my dex and possibly SOS chaining for shinies (spoilers: didn't get any yet), and I'm actually quite close to finishing the dex. 86% or so as of the time of writing this post. Thank you, GTS, for the assistance, although the constant need for level 91+ Dragonites is annoying. :/ As for the game itself, I thought it was very good. Definitely not a favorite (it's down there with Black/White for me in terms of how much I liked it, which is "a fair bit but overall not overwhelmingly so"), but still good. Pokémon games tend to be that way for me: at least good. I liked X/Y a lot more. My favorite thing about the game is the Ride Pokémon. Now THAT is refreshing. I HATE HMs, and anything to not have to use them is a fantastic improvement for me. Let's hope that if there are Gen 4 remakes, this trend will continue. After all, ORAS had a Latios that you could fly around on. (But thank the gods for Hawlucha; that one was just about all I needed in Y.) Poké Pelago is great, too. I find that sort of system for item gathering ideal. Oh, and I love how you can immediately choose to box things that you catch (or hatch!). Regarding the remakes... eh, I'm not big on remakes. I think that if the games look good enough, then they don't need them. Then again, I did enjoy ORAS a lot, so... whatever. :P Plus, I love Cynthia and Garchomp, so there's that. My Christmas plans are just to sit around the house and enjoy whatever possible gifts I get. We don't really do anything for it. What we SHOULD do is decorate already. Maybe today, I'll put up the small tree upstairs as well as some decorations for my desk. Regarding Pokémon GO: I almost finished my dex there so far, and now they released baby Gen 2 Pokémon. Gahh, more stuff to get. At least I got Mr. Mime in Europe! Now to finish this Arceus exploration already... -------------------- Check my GPXPlus journal to see what I contributed to the site!

Hello again! *sheepish smile inserted here* I, too, have been off the forums for a spell and trying to click on a semi regular daily basis. That last part didn't pan out as well as I had hoped, but mainly because of the weekend and how I worked from home both Friday and yesterday. One would think that, with working from home, I have more free time. Right? Well, I'm aiming to please so that I can increase my at home work days so I'm trying to shine for my boss.
I've had a lot of ketchup that I did in my current explore and have advanced a few paces so that my new party Drillbur is suddenly feeling not so hot. Therefore, if you happen to pass us on your way to click elsewhere... Drillbur and I wouldn't begrudge you tossing a sweet, Pecha berry her way. It would seem she ran afoul of something that poisoned her so she needs all the sweet berry love you can offer her. In other news I've finally advanced to Route 2 in my Sun game. *eek* Yeah. Just Route 2. I'm keeping in mind the level for the upcoming battles and trying to stay at 15 for everybody. Goofball Abra I noticed evolved at level 16, so I went that far for her because she needed something other than Teleport. Well. She learned something alright. Just not anything that seems useful. A fear tactic, I'd label it, but she can't hurt nobody yet. So she's back in the box and my starters are all at 15 now, too (if memory serves). So I'm leveling up a few others as I weed my way through Route 2 towards the Cemetery for that "specially requested" Pokemon. Note to Self: make sure you pick up two of them. LOL. I miss playing Pokemon Go! *mopes* I have to put it back on my phone (haven't had the chance yet) and then try my Google account to see if that was how I was playing it before. I am hoping to get back to it around the holidays at the very latest. If I can't get Mamanator back first I'll cry, then I'll throw a tantrum, and then I'll try my back up plan. -------------------- |

But that means someone is going to see how much I suck. Dx Well I hope we have to fight each other then xD I'm terrible with competitive gaming too so if we get to face off against each other we might get a fun deal out of it I don't even know how many times I HAVE to fight someone... I'm kinda scared people will be angry and make a huge internet drama out of it, because they could be fighting interesting opponents but noooope they're stuck with me Oh well... I hope I at least have time to fight... -------------------- |

I've been gone from GPX for a pretty long time. I used to play in 2010, I think. So I wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone <3 Been playing for a few days and there's so much new stuff and the site is so easy to use, I love it! There weren't any Poke Hunts or site wide shiny hunts back then, so I'm excited to get to participate in that stuff now. Though, I guess I should have expected most of the rare steel eggs would be gone from the shelter now!
Also, having Reshiram be one of my returning month's exploration prizes is amazing. One of my favorite legendaries is such a great gift to come back to the game :D -------------------- |

There’s a lot of tension in this town Group: +Donors Posts: 2 004 Joined: 30-April 09 From: Louisiana Member No.: 17 626 Active Squad |
This has certainly been my most tedious run at the 12 Days of Christmas since it was first added. I can't find the Pokemon needed for one of the tasks, and I'm too busy breeding Popplio to switch my pair out.
I haven't played Pokemon GO that much since I learned how much of our data it was using up. It's too bad because I loved playing it. I wonder how many other people have just lost interest in it after a little while, because it was just about everywhere when it was first released. -------------------- |

My semester is officially finished! All my work was finished by last night, and today I am free! Well, at least for a little bit. No more school work to worry about right now, and that is a beautiful thing.
I would try for Beldum for the hunt since I'm already hunting it, but it seems that they've all disappeared from the shelter. -------------------- |

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan I'm over the moon right now!
I had this 3000 word lab report to do earlier this term which was worth 50% of this unit, I lost it all the night before it was due in so had to redo it all the night before (including graphs and data) I came out with 70 for it so got a first, can't believe it! -------- Rat has 30 berries to go. I think I'll do another run and hope it's done before the 22nd.. If not I'll be stuck with a party of 5 for an extra day or two. I can't remember the last task so I'll decide at a later date I think e: Also guys you should all come to the Discord chat. There's quite a number of us so it's pretty talkative This post has been edited by x Sam: Dec 14 2016, 12:01 PM -------------------- Don't forget to love yourself.

Believe it or not, I'm still playing Pokemon Go. I mean, I take a break every now and then, but I still love to play. We have a larger data plan so I don't usually worry about that. I have fun with it, especially since they've been good about keeping updates coming about once a month. My highest CP pokemon is 2000something Dragonite, that my boyfriend lovingly caught for me a while ago. Finally just hatched a Snorlax, but it was only about 1800. Still missing tons from my dex though - porygon, lapras, gyrados, bellsprout evolutions, final Gloom evolution, horsea evolution, poliwag evolutions, and still don't have a Charizard and I've caught a total of 2 or 3 bulbasaurs. ;o; I just can't seem to get lucky and find these missing dorks. I did manage to find a ditto on the first day though! So now I'm working on baby pokemon. <3 Topegi!
I finished Sun while I was in vacation visiting family in Kansas. But I have a tendency to speed through the story mode, then go back and do other stuff later. My boyfriend got me a Rowlet egg, but I've still gotta find someone to trade me a poppolio. xD I'm about at 50% dex, but that's only because I've been so busy at work (catching up after that vacation almost made it not worth it). -------------------- |

If I could actually log into the blasted game. I re-downloaded the game a while back after the shortcut on my home page said the app was not installed. And now, when I attempt to play it, I keep getting the "Enter your birthday" screen. So, after I do that, it takes me to the sign in screen. And whenever I attempt to actually log in, I get a message saying, "Unable to authenticate, Please try again." As for Sun and Moon? I'm sad that it seems you can't use Field Moves to draw wild pokemon to you. But it IS nice that you can get evolved forms during the SOS Battles at a lower level than they actually evolve on their own. Pokemon (click to show )

Also, for Sun and Moon I recommend you wondertrade or just breed a Litten and put it on gts to trade for popplio. It worked for me with a lot of things so it maaaaaaaybe might work for you too. Maybe. Hopefully -------------------- |

I believe Ditto usually appear as Rattata or Pidgey? And then, once you catch them they transform. However, due to my aforementioned problem, I can't verify that personally. @ Jalakins: I believe it's Android. It's a Tracfone phone, so it's definitely NOT an iPhone. -------------------- |
