Welcome to Gaia! ::

I feel rather stupid right now, as I did not previously realize that the X in Braixen's name reads like a Z, making it's name Braizen. At the very least that's how I'm going to choose to read it from now on based on the fact it's name is a combination of Braise and Vixen.

Also leaks revealed the final forms of the starters as Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught. No official confirmation of course, but the images and names are starting to seem rather consistent around the net so this is looking like the real deal.

~digs.~ Alright did some digging. Delphox is indisputable, Greninja and Chestnaught still don't actually have a lot of proof behind them....kinda hoping Greninja is a lie actually...

Your terrible taste strikes again? Anyway this stage doesn't really look complete to me. It still has the chance of obtaining a third for and becoming a lanky runway model with lots of poofy feathers. Oh and did you see Helioptile's evo?

Yes the combination of Chestnut and Juggernaut is cool, I bare mixed feelings about it's appearance, part in due to not being able to see it clearly. Although BEARD. Really? It actually is a tongue scarf? I was starring at it before and thinking that's what it looked like...and somehow believing that a tongue scarf would be awesome...dammit your awful taste must be spreading! Except it's not awful it's wondrous. Please explain the significance of Delphi in regards to the robe wearing fox witch/wizard.

THE BEST WORST TASTE EVER. Well only time will tell, though has anyone considered the reason the bird is so fat is because she's been eating the cotton candy kid? I kinda like the evolution. I imagine the frill works like a solarpanel or something. Also yes I've heard of the Luchador thing, and I've heard it's real...it is awful.

An excellent point on all accounts, sadly only time will tell! For the tongue that is. Though I have to admit with a tongue like that, don't think anyone is gonna wanna kiss that frog....or will they? Awful is wonder. So you pulled what I did with Frogadier, which is a combination of Frog and Brigadier, where as I kept thinking "bombadier...but he's not a pilot...". Ah, alright. I tried looking up and wasn't sure if that was it for Delphi. Makes sense. Special move is even Mystic Fire. So yay for getting high off fumes I guess.

And cause we haven't poked fun at it in awhile...

I still don't like derp sugar. Raven of course would scream like a little girl. I like the evolution of Helioptile more then Helioptile. It's neat. Bout time we got a frilled lizard. Shame I still have no real interest in training one. I still think the Luchador is terrible; but in 9 days we'll know for sure! Now if only I didn't have work that day.

Honestly I hated Greninja the first time I saw it and for several times after, however just like the name "Froakie" it's been bleedin growing on me like a FUNGUS. Or would that be Foongus? Nah I never liked Foongus. Brings back bad memories. Anyway. I'd heard it was going to look more like a poison dart frog, and it's a bit more angular then I was expecting, but it has it's charm. I will likely pick Froakie as my starter and name it Hanzo (Which probably isn't as cliche as I keep thinking it is. #1 predicted name for people to nickname Greninja? Naruto.). Now as for the tongue thing...maybe it's to keep his skin from drying out? He is a frog. And now...~image of Frogadier flying a World War I style plane.~. Anyway I'll have a better opinion on all three starter 3rd stages when I see a picture that isn't just a blurry photo of a 3DS screen. Anyway Delphox doesn't look that feminine, it all depends on how you look at it. Several people see it as having a 'robe' rather than a 'dress'. That said I think it's clear you will pick the Witch and I'll take the Ninja. What's Riku planning to pick? Cause if she picked the Juggernaut that'd complete the circle!

If I somehow got a female Froakie and kept it I would name is Hattori. Related to the aforementioned name.

It is plenty of fun to make fun of either, and you have made it quite clear your dislike for Mega Absol. Although I actually like the end of Seviper's tail, albeit it while favouring Zangoose and thus shredding every Seviper I meet. Case in point the fact that Raven has a belt and scabbard made out of Seviper skin which he killed, skinned, tanned, and crafted himself! Arts and crafts are fun! So is brutally murdering Pokemon in that one forest as well apparently (same trip which resulted in Girafarig Bag and Raven carrying around hooves...which I'll probably turn into ashtrays or something some day.).

Honestly what you just said actually gives me this image of Vanni devouring/ripping to shreds a Swirlix. Which is really just like any other crazed kid ripping into cotton candy, except it's accompanied by screaming. I have work, no less a day shift, but I can probably slip out a little early to make absolutely certain I can pick up my copy of the game. Assuming they have it on hand...actually I need to check for a midnight release cause that would solve everything.

I just go with a fungus or a moss. It's the best reference for something that steadily grows, and then is damn near impossible to get rid of. Maybe it's Gren? Wouldn't be the first time they merged a letter in the middle of the name. Honestly the image you gave me just sort of has me envisioning Riku running down the highway, crashing through buildings and eventually through the doorway of your room to get that game. Tri-Force of Insanity! I will admit Braixn is clearly a magical girl, even if it's a boy, which has technically happened before. Both in Japan AND the states. Baba Yaga seems too wordy. Probably best to shorten to Baba or Yaga. I approve Ariel for the male name. Just cause. Yay, someone who at least get's the ninja reference! Though if you want to get technical that should be written Hattori Hanzo.

Yes they can be wonderful little murder machines. I still miss Daemon my Zangoose. Now as for the brutality...he didn't want to waste the kill, and it just so happened his new sword didn't fit the old scabbard, and he needed a bag for carrying things. That was a wonderful reference, and were it in either Raven or Fable's character I would have them do it without a second thought. Sadly the only Pokemon who's character DOES suit that lacks any hands to speak of. Sweet Zombie Arceus....NOW I MISS MY GENGAR!!! IT'S ON THAT COPY OF B2 I LOST!!! crying

....or wait...was he? He might still be on my copy of black actually...I think I remember doing an online battle against someone and kicking a** with Hypnosis and Dream Eater.

I eagerly anticipate these events. Unfortunately work starts before the mall opens. My only choice is to duck out early, or switch shifts. Switching shifts however would be more troublesome than it is worth, so ducking out early is good.

Kudzu? Gren has to somehow be related to frogs. I mean every other name was somehow related to frogs. Anyway Bulbapedia solves all such naming mysteries. Sure sure I'll give you the little Snoot, but you'll have to pass along...whatever the hell it is I need/want from X that I can't get in Y. Missing out on Mega Charizard X aside I guess it's a good thing I picked Y. Conquest was awesome, and I actually totally forgot that Hanzo was in that game. I get an F for memory. I thought of the name for entirely different reasons; but hell whatever works.

I honestly don't know is Zangoose is better, I just played Ruby as a child and fell in love with the murder mongoose. Who is Riddle? I somehow wonder how you know what snake tastes like...and actually he DID eat it...the Girafarig too. He gave some of the meat to a starving Victoria...ironically after she yelled at him for being the "mighty hunter" killing and skinning Pokemon. In spite of it's weaknesses Gengar IS my favourite Ghost-Type. I was so happy when I was able to trade my Haunter to a friend and back again to make him Evolve.
