Hello! My name is Nidoqueen, and I come off as awkward, or so everyone that knows me says. XD If you couldn't already tell, I like love Pokemon. XD I'm a girl and I live in Canada, I have a dog(Australian Cattle Dog, red heeler), a cat(he's from a barn so he could be anything), and a snake(het-albino red tail boa). I graduated high school in June, and I work in a Deli/Bakery which is really dumb and I hate it so I try to be on at least 3-4 times a week, give or take a day or two. I found this site while surfing through ProBoards sites, looking for a good roleplay. I liked the idea of this site, and it's not full of one liners, so I joined. ^^ I look forward to meeting everyone, and befriending at least a few of you!

Welcome to the site! I'm a huge Pokemon nerd too and also incredibly awkward ^w^ Are you guys excited for the new games? I'm not really digging some of the designs for the new Pokemon, but the games themselves look pretty awesome. Except for the whole mega evolution thing...still not sure how I feel about that lol Also the safari zone sucks  |

slimestone: I haven't played Pokemon Red in years! I should start up the old gameboy and see my old friends. <3 I surprisingly didn't mind the Safari Zone. I hated Cinnabar Mansion. -__- Stupid building. Zen: I am very excited for the Pokemon games! Bench sitting, diagonal movement, and riding various pokemon; EEEEEEEKKKKKK. I do agree with you on the whole Mega Evolution thing. I was like whaaaat? Why can't they just make Mawile and Absol evolve? They are in need of it. Blaziken sure as hell don't need a mega form, and if they leave out the other starters, I'm gonna be pissed. Totally unfair if you ask me! As for Lucario, Mewtwo, and Ampharos.... They don't need one, I think. I think they're beautiful the way they are. <3 |

Oh I totally agree. The designs for the mega evolved Pokemon are kinda cheap and lazy looking to me, especially Ampharos (he has hair now...yay?). For what's supposed to be the rarest and strongest stage of evolution, most of the Pokemon really don't look all that intimidating. And Mewtwo is already one of the most powerful Pokemon in the world, so why does he even need an upgrade? /nerdrage
But I do love the look of Xerneas and Yveltal! I usually go for the game that I think has the cooler looking legendary on the box lol, but this is the first time I'm actually having difficulty deciding which version to get. They're both really badass <3

I'm not too excited for the new games :/ At risk of sounding like a non-progressive fan, I really like the look of the old Pokemon games, and I feel that that IS Pokemon's "look", so I was even disappointed in the Black&White.
Don't get me wrong though, there are some really cool looking things about the new games, like some of the Pokemon have cool designs and I think riding them will be fun.
But yeah. I like the 2D crappy graphics lol. Pokemon Gold 5ever.

Hi nidoqueen! I'm smiff. I'm a huge poke'nerd too! >A>;
though im with slime on X/Y. I feel like making it into really shitty 3D is just getting rid of the old charm. i mean like, its just pokemon stadium graphics which isnt all that impressive. In that case, i'd have much rather stuck with the moving 2D sprites. Idk, i'm nitpicky about games these days cause im hoping to make game design into my career.
IN ANY CASE! Welcome to CR! We're super happy to have you!
EDIT: also, on mega evolutions... honestly all the designs make them look like they're dressing up to be on ru paul's drag race??? i mean they gave poor ampharos a weave. I want to stick it in a l'oreal commercial LOL

Ahahahahahah xD That is so true! That's a good point, smiff! It is really reminiscent of Pokemon Stadium! Also, I noticed in Black/White, all the move cutscenes took waaaaay longer than they used to  I don't ACTUALLY want to spend that much time in a battle, thanks, Nintendo. |

I'm not too horribly upset over the 3D transition, I guess because I was prepared for it to happen someday. I'm going to try and reserve judgement till I play the game. Hopefully it won't be bad once you get used to it :/ And if it sucks at least we'll always have the old games haha
But while we're complaining about the crappy aspects of X & Y, the fairy type is the most ridiculous/pointless thing ever imo. Why why why is Xerneas considered a fairy. Just ugh

Ugh I know. Also, why are fairy-type moves super effective against dragon.

Ikr? I guess they thought the dragon type was too powerful, but I feel dragon has been overused in the recent games anyway. Back in the Red & Blue days there was only Dragonite and it was one of the hardest Pokemon to raise, so it deserved to be really powerful. Now dragons aren’t even a big deal anymore :c Plus I already have a hard time remembering which types are effective against which, so adding yet another one is just gonna explode my brain x.x

Yeah true :/ Dragons are supposed to be 'rare' but I guess that's not a thing anymore P: Ughhhh I totally agree!! Apart from fire/water fire/grass rock/water etc., I can't remember matchups, like what the hell is good against psychic and what bug can do. |

Zen: MegaAmpharos looks like a shot back from the 80s before the farmer came and took his hair. XD MegaMewtwo looks too... bouncy ball like. Too smooth, and cute. Guess Mew's DNA ignited in him more when he Mega evolved. I know what you mean about Xerneas and Yveltal! They're both so pretty! I love Yveltal's type, I thought it was awesome when they announced that! slimestone: I too enjoy the classic 2D gaming. I loved it, and I somewhat agree that that is the Pokemon look. I remember in Pokemon Yellow, when I first battled Articuno, I was like, wtf is that blob? XD I like the graphics of FireRed/LeafGreen/Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald the best. Followed by the Sinnoh Region graphics. Pluton Leader Smiff: Holy fuck you made me almost spit out my noodles when I read your last paragraph. XD Thanks for the welcome! ^^ That's cool you want to be a game designer! slimestone: I actually don't mind battling, although the cut scenes could be a tad shorter. Zen: I agree 100% with you. Down with the bloody fairy types. Before they introduced fairy type, I thought Xerneas would be like psychic/steel or something... but then "Fairy" came out. Woo. It bugs me that they're changing some of the older types into fairy. Like, don't mess with a good thing. Jigglypuff can stay normal, thanks. slimestone: Because they want to make our lives that much more harder. Dx Zen: I fucking love Dragonite. <3 slimestone: Really? I'm pretty good at remember which type is good against which. I hate not knowing though so yeah. XD |
