KYOGRE DESTROYS ALL THINGS BECAUSE HE CAN LEARN EARTHQUAKE, BLIZZARD, WATER SPOUT AND THUNDER! ALL BOW TO THE MIGHTY FLOATING FISH!
I think if you hugged that Darumaka any tighter it would be considered a Bind. A real Constricting Wrap of the arms.

yiiiissss kyogre, i shall bow to my lord and master
kyogre is one of the few legendaries i've actually used on a team
i was tempted to animate it with a second image of me burnt to a crisp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same. He and Rayquaza are the only ones I think I've ever used in serious combat. Except for Mewtwo, of course.
I think that would take out the cute factor you were going for. Plus, I'm not sure he can learn incinerate.

i've also used moltres and genesect and hmmm a couple others for short periods of time but only as stand-ins for other things
i don't recall going for cute. i'm not sure i do cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Moltres does have some good moves. And darn, I need to find a Genesect... and get any of the legendaries in 5th gen that I never went after because the others around here who play all moved away. The only real use I have found for legendaries is sketching their moves (macho brace required to survive a hit) so that Smeargle knows Judgment, Roar of Time, Sacred Fire and Sacred Sword (still need to do this).
The list thingy said that it was the one that you found cutest. I will admit though, killing it with a hug is maybe not so cute. XD Your expression fits it better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i ended up using genesect simply because i had it at the beginning of the game...
i want the my little pokemon and the hedgehog
smeargle is a very odd little guy
i do find it cute, just not sure i'm capable of drawing it that way haha

You got it under some promotion, sí?
I was confused until I realized that you are exactly right about those two. XD Shaymin is basically useless except for its healing ability and Keldeo's sole redeeming quality is its Secret Sword (Sacred Sword? one of those is for the other dog/deer/things). I never get anything from events. I have a Darkrai in 5th gen only because they gave him out online.
I use him for things. He is of no use in a battle unless he knows protect, endure, healing wish (burn two enemy moves and then revive your dead leader) and that one move that lowers an opponent's health to your level or maybe power-split.
I think it is. It is a tiny squishy ball of a thing that does not want to be there. It's like a puppy with enormous eyebrows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
genesect was one of those online promotions but you needed black/white 2
but keldeo is so cuuuute D: and shaymin is like... a pun personified... er... pokemonified
i do not believe i got darkrai... i need to get on some sort of pokemon event mailing list or something
doesn't look awfully puppy-ish to me xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apparently not more so than Darumaka. Shaymin is a chia-pet.
You're right. Puppies, Growlithe excepted, tend not to have tons of fire. Perhaps he is more of a bean bag? Or a pillow pet...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, not more than darumaka. shaymin is literally a hedge-hog and that makes it cool.
yeah mystery gift is weeeird
and that is a strange process
growlithes are also adorable but we should probably add houndour to the list as well
bean bag. yes. those adorable bean bag eyes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is only the hedgiest of hogs. Hedgiest is a word. I'll go eat my hat now.
Never seems to work right. It's something like EVERYBODY HAPPY CONNECTION. (I am delighted that I remembered that)
He's less of a puppy and more the harbinger of doom. Houndoom. Apocalypse by flaming dogs falling from the sky, following the death of the livestock and invasion of rats.
Could one game astride a giant Darumaka bean bag seat? I think the possibility is intriguing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
does it mean what it sounds like? how odd
he's a hellhound puppy but he's still a puppy
ahhhhh now i want ooooone
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Abounding in hedges." as in "That wealthy estate is abounding in hedges." I like that word. XD
You could make a tiny one that you could, like, rest your elbow on. Or something. That almost defeats the purpose of it being a beanbag.
We had a few when we were kids but they eventually fell to disuse and garage sale. Regular black bean bags, that is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes that's a good word, we must now wait for the perfect time to use it in a proper conversation and then be like i didn't make that up, it is an actual word, ha!
yeah, i think we had something beanbag-ish at some point but the bits inside started falling out... that's the problem with beanbags
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Scrabble. Has to be Scrabble.
The styrofoam or whatever is inside of them tends to leak once they age. I want a beanbag full of actual beans. French-cut green beans. That would be awesome and rot very quickly and then smell so it would have to be thrown away. Hmm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm yes wait can you have that many letters
what about other types of beans... some of them stay good yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hedgiest. 8. No. You can, however, have EDGIEST and attach it to a stray H.
Beans are notorious for early expiration if stored incorrectly. The soft shell and plentiful nutriment within make them prime targets for bacteria.

ooh yes, there we go
you really are a dictionary. or encyclopedia. or something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My grandmother used to call me both of those when I was a kid because I read random articles in both. I would look for one thing that I wanted to know and end up learning that such a creature as a box-hive building bee/wasp exists.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
would one entry link to another or what?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kind of. I mostly got side-tracked by words that I liked or pictures and ideas that sounded cool. You learn a lot about looms when looking up lunar eclipses and you learn a lot about border collies when you look up bowstrings and so forth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm yes this makes sense
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Twas the time sink before the Internet, my lady. Dictionaries, coloring books, fantasy and the outdoors filled the days of yesteryear.
What did you do as a kid?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what did i do as a kid hmmm good question
TV, the park across my street, books... i don't believe encyclopedias and dictionaries were involved though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mostly fiction books or were you a youngling scholar? TV and games become more important when you can't go outside. Then they start ladling into everything. Not that that's a bad thing. Electric media are remarkably good at connecting people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes fiction, always fiction haha
you know it's kinda funny, i never asked for games, my parents just gave my brother and i a gamecube one christmas and started something they probably did not predict
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Liking books makes "quiet reading time" a blessing rather than an assignment.
Eh, they're kids. They'll like this, right? Sure. OHMYGAWDTHEYHAVEN'TSTOPPEDPLAYINGINYEARS. <- your parents
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes except i was always scared of checking things out of libraries because it involved talking to a librarian and talking to people was scary
yes. yes pretty much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You were an introverted little one? and librarians are niceeeeee
I used to never answer the phone or call anyone because it would be awkward and I would re-check the number or address, in the case where I would knock on a door, multiple times. I still kind of do this. lD I don't remember trying to stay away from people as much as people just never came near me.
I game when I go home and my mom always asks if I'm fighting an orc when she comes in. I'm playing Halo at the time. Multiplayer.
Maybe we're just able to recognize these things because we know fantasy and gaming, eh? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes, still am. less shy now though. but man i still hate knocking on doors and talking on phones aaagh
eventually i will learn to call businesses or something. or i will just not. and always make someone else i know do it
haha, i have that problem with art... i could be drawing someone with blue hair and my mom will be like "oh are you doing a self-portrait?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Phone talking gets awkward because it stagnates. No non-verbal communication to work with like when you can see the other person and then have awkward staring contests.
You must raise the gumption within yourself and do it. Be like an anime character and never give up on anything while reciting a monologue about promises or freedom.
Clearly she supports your decision to try out all manners of hair dyes and genetic variations.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, there's no silence like phone silence
i had one friend who would simply call me to talk and it always disconcerted me because i only ever speak on the phone with someone when i need something or when i need to tell them something
i don't have anime character willpower
i'm sure
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right. It is for absolute necessity and not the typical day to day stuff. I know my sister would talk on the phone, and by that I mean sit and go "uh-huh" on the phone, for hours at a time. Never been my cup of tea. I find that I like few teas, for that matter. There is something about seeing someone and not just hearing someone that makes it that much easier to connect. It makes the conversation far more complex and multi-faceted.
Then you must believe it. Hmm. Draw a flashy moving background on a piece of paper and then hold it behind you whilst talking into a mirror and reciting your plans.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i find chat/im to be much better for speaking as it allows for long pauses in conversation and you can stay focused on what you're already doing unless the issue is important... of course i have friends who don't like to leave the pauses in chat and i feel bad not responding but i just cannot handle only chatting and not drawing or watching something or whatever
i'd have to make some super impressive flip book for that to work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right. By the very nature of IM you have to keep yourself busy with a secondary project/action or else you get glued to the screen and that isn't as much fun. Pauses in chat can be interrupted by placing one's eyeball in front of the camera. (still a theory)
Well then, I think I see a future project.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes cameras as well
i end up with awkward webcam silence though where all either person hears is the typing of keys
still less awkward than phones though
and yeah, maybe not
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How does that even happen? Well, I guess that's like having a conversation at a friend's place and they are trying to get things down while you talk, so maybe it's not so weird.
Phone silence is nothing but static and the desire to hang up the phone.
Maaaaaaaaaaybe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, it's not too weird as long as you've gotten to that place in the friendship where silences are no longer awkward
though i think that desire to hang up the webcam is still somewhat there... it's just less awkwardly there because you know the other person is doing something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure. Otherwise it would feel like you were being expressly avoided in an awkward fashion. I do that a lot. Not expressly avoid people but sit in silence and then posit whether or not it's strange that I killed 15 minutes googling pictures of otters. So many varieties of otters and otter pups.
Yeah, like, if you say something and they go "sure" and you mutually are noticeably okay with it. I think that's how most chats end unless one person has to be away for something. You get these cues from the other person that something should be progressing and it is likely away from the camera, aka other responsibilities or daily activities.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i always worry someone will find my internet history because i get led to horrible things because i've followed blogs complaining about how horrible [insert horrible thing here] is and i want to view the horrible thing for myself to pass judgement
not otters
usually drawing
i must admit i get someone annoyed when called for webcaming when i want to be watching a video because i cannot do both of those at once
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Such an investigation would indeed be entertaining. XD I understand the "need to know." My brother asked me how to hide his Internet history for a much different reason. >_>
Compromise. Draw otters.
Sure you can, if your computer can handle the stress. Depending on video length, of course. And also depending on how engaged the other person wants the conversation to be.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
shouldn't he have asked the internet how to hide his internet history?
mmmmmaybe an otter pokemon
yes but too many noisesss
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think at that point it would have become self aware and asked why he was trying to hide from its lidless eye. Google wants to know everything. Cleverbot seems to know everything but is in reality an error laden copycat. That is only partly related to the sentence before it. (parents asked me how to do it too because they wanted to make sure nothing illegal was going on such as music pirating; they got as far as search assist before forgetting what they were looking for)
Oshawott. :I
You could just mute them for a sec and have a telepathic conversation aided by non-verbal signing. I could say "rock on," for example.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
google already knows everything.
haha, but muuuusiiiic
yeah oshawott
lack of noise would be too suspicious
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I... see... you!!!! - Google eyeball
I get most of my music off of YouTube or settle with stuff on Newgrounds for full download. My iTunes library contains too sparse a count of volumes to be labeled such.
Water types! Yeah! SURF ALL THE WATERS!
Have you considered just telling them what you're doing? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been getting a ton of video game music off of tumblr lately but most of my music comes from having ripped CDs i borrowed from the library
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That library thing is a good idea. We don't have libraries for music here. 
Do you listen to music at a constant?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
public libraries with no music? D:
listening constantly you mean? sometimes... depends on my mood
