The Secret Time Out Files Part 1: The Slowpoke years

[Missingno. Master]

And now for Missingno. Master Monday Mimicry Something Something I Don't Know!

Pokémart/Candy Store: Deposited the usual Candy.

Daycare: Picked up Marvolo, who grew to level 60, and Hermione, who grew to level 22, and dropped them both back off.

Move Tutor: Picked up Stewie, who learned Bide. Dropped off Vinny to learn Growth.

Salon: Picked up Bart and Neville with 9 HPs apiece, then dropped them off for one last week.

(nicknames: Marvolo=Seviper; Hermione=Weedle; Stewie=Shadow Ledian; Vinny=Numel; Bart=Scraggy; Neville=Dragalge)

[Missingno. Master]

Hm. Slow week. But anyway, time for another Missingno. Master Monday Mimicry Something Something I Don't Know!

Pokémart/Candy Store: The usual.

Daycare: Picked up Marvolo, who grew to level 61, and Hermione, who grew to level 23, and dropped them both back off again.

Training Center: IT'S ALIVE!! IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!!! AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! I mean, uh, dropped off Lenny to learn Cut, and also, remember that buttload of TMs I bought a while back, at the Pokémart and Coins for Prizes? Yeah, used them all on Lenny. By this time next week, he'll have learned Toxic, Hidden Power (Fire), Ice Beam, Dig, Brick Break, Aerial Ace, X-Scissor, Poison Jab, Snarl, Swift, Headbutt, and Ice Punch.

Move Tutor: Picked up Vinny, who learned Growth. Dropped off Violet to learn Rock Slide.

Salon: Picked up Bart and Neville with 10 HPs apiece. Dropped off Kyle and Norbert to each gain their first Happiness Point.


Oh, yeah, those of you who haven't been keeping up with the Cable Club will probably be wondering just who the hell Lenny is. Well, I'm thinking now might be a good opportunity to introduce him. Everyone, meet Lenny!

: Snee! Sneasel! ^_^ *waves excitedly at everyone*


(nicknames: Marvolo=Seviper; Hermione=Weedle; Lenny=Sneasel; Vinny=Numel; Violet=Dunsparce; Bart=Scraggy; Neville=Dragalge; Kyle=Heatmor; Norbert=Haxorus)

[jolteonjak]

Why did I think that was the shiny colors for Sneasel?

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMSIDK!

Pokemart - Candy
Daycare - Another level for Burmy and Hoothoot
Salon - Another Happiness Point for Frillish, and now that I got the confirmation to put my Torkoal in shops, he can finish his stay.
Move Tutor - Another move for Teddiursa.
Pokespa - Picked up my male Drifloon.

So I just hatched a Shiny Venipede in Omega Ruby. Feeling pretty good right about now. Been trying to hatch one the past couple of days now, and that's just in the latest attempt- been going for one on and off ever since Black and White.

[Missingno. Master]

Eh? Today, you say? Inkay Day, OK? Yay!

Thanks for sharing.

Ohey. Really nice to hear from you again. I've been toying with the idea of coming back myself, I just don't think I could ever dedicate as much time to it as I used to. I don't really care about the tamagotchi element of FB anymore, but I'd love somewhere to practice my creative writing.

We'd be glad to have you back, emp.

In other news, today's Amaura Day, so be sure to collect some gifts for yours if you got one!

Heyyyy, welcome to the Shiny Scolipede club, MM! Meanwhile, I'll be welcoming myself to the Shiny Golduck club, as it became my token Shiny in my latest run of White 2. Undyne didn't become part of the team as I had my team all planned out, but she was a nice surprise!

Nice! I have a couple of Shiny Golduck myself- those and a bunch of Shiny Jumpluff are the result of doing so much Special Attack and Special Defense EV training on Route 7 in Y. And I had some serious Shiny luck yesterday, too- a day of chain fishing on Route 8 in X resulted in three Shinies- two Clauncher and a Staryu.

Naturally, I haven't had anywhere near that kind of Shiny luck in FB, but I can't complain about the one Shiny on my team. *hugs Dudley*

: ....Yawn?

[myahoo]

Here. Have some Cortoza updates, people. :3

[Gemini Spark]

One of these days I'll get around to writing the posts I really want done before I do my Cortoza reply... *shakes fist*

[Pest]

Cloud Garden updates. Or one update, rather. Sorry about the wait MM; my head has been foggy for the last several months :/

On that note, I think I can take on a few more adventures! It could give me more of a push to actually get words down on the screen.

Not a problem. My fanfics have sometimes seen considerable gaps between chapters (one of the longest ones being three quarters of a year), so I can understand that.

*pant pant* Missingno. Master... *pant pant* Mimicday Mondry... *pant pant* Something Something... *pant pant* I Don't Even... *pant pant* *faints*


Pokémart/Candy Store: Collected and deposited the usual Candy. Several uses I got in mind for those Candies...

Daycare: Picked up Marvolo, who grew to level 62, and Hermione, who grew to level 24, and dropped them both back off.

Training Center; Picked up Lenny, who learned Cut, as well as a buttload of TM moves. Dropped Lenny back off to learn Surf.

Move Tutor: Picked up Violet, who learned Rock Slide. Dropped her back off to learn Zen Headbutt.

Salon: Picked up Norbert and Kyle with 1 HP apiece, dropped them both back off again.


And now for something we haven't done in a while- how many of each type of Pokémon do you have, and how many from each generation do you have? Naturally this has been done several times in the past, but considering how frequently one's answers can change, I think it's worth doing again every so often.


Types:

Normal: 4 (Meowth, Unfezant, Smeargle, Ditto)
Grass: 7 (Vileplume, Victreebel, Ivysaur, Amoonguss, Carnivine, Venusaur, Roserade)
Fire: 5 (Torkoal, Houndoom, Numel, Magcargo, Heatmor)
Water: 6 (Qwilfish, Blue-Striped Basculin, Blastoise, Shiny Slowbro, Tentacruel, Feraligatr)
Poison: 28 (Weezing, Vileplume, Arbok, Qwilfish, Crobat, Venomoth, Toxicroak, Victreebel, Seviper, Ivysaur, Scolipede, Swalot, Drapion, Muk, Skuntank, Ariados, Dustox, Weedle, Amoonguss, Gengar, Beedrill, Tentacruel, Nidoking, Venusaur, Trubbish, Roserade, Nidoqueen, Dragalge)
Bug: 7 (Venomoth, Scolipede, Ariados, Dustox, Weedle, Beedrill, Shadow Ledian)
Electric: 1 (Stunfisk)
Flying: 4 (Crobat, Swoobat, Shadow Ledian, Unfezant)
Fighting: 4 (Toxicroak, Timburr, Hariyama, Scraggy)
Psychic: 2 (Swoobat, Shiny Slowbro)
Ghost: 4 (Dusknoir, Banette, Shuppet, Gengar)
Rock: 1 (Magcargo)
Ground: 3 (Stunfisk, Nidoking, Nidoqueen)
Dragon: 2 (Haxorus, Dragalge)
Ice: 1 (Sneasel)
Dark: 8 (Mightyena, Drapion, Skuntank, Umbreon, Pawniard, Houndoom, Scraggy, Sneasel)
Steel: 1 (Pawniard)
Fairy: 0


Generations:

I: 18 (Weezing, Vileplume, Arbok, Venomoth, Victreebel, Ivysaur, Muk, Meowth, Weedle, Gengar, Beedrill, Blastoise, Shiny Slowbro, Tentacruel, Nidoking, Venusaur, Nidoqueen, Ditto)
II: 11 (Qwilfish, Crobat, Ariados, Umbreon, Houndoom, Shadow Ledian, Feraligatr, Smeargle, Dunsparce, Magcargo, Sneasel*)
III: 9 (Mightyena, Seviper, Swalot, Banette, Dustox, Shuppet, Hariyama, Torkoal, Numel)
IV: 6* (Toxicroak, Dusknoir, Drapion, Skuntank, Carnivine, Roserade)
V: 12 (Scolipede, Swoobat, Amoonguss, Blue-Striped Basculin, Stunfisk, Timburr, Pawniard, Haxorus, Unfezant, Trubbish, Scraggy, Heatmor)
VI: 1 (Dragalge)

*Once evolved into Weavile, Lenny will count towards the Generation IV total.


Notes:

Gee, I wonder which type wins out? Yeah, no surprises with that one. Coming in second is Dark, with a total of 8- would have tied with Grass and Bug until relatively recently. And this time, there's only one type I don't have anything of- the Fairy type. Until recently, it shared this distinction with Ice. And there's a few Fairy-types I could see me having on the team, too, it's not a question of not liking them at all. As for generations, Generation I wins out, with 18 of my Pokémon being among the original 151. Not coincidentally, Generation I introduced the most Poison-types. Second place goes to Generation V, even though it introduced very few Poison-types- there's just so many awesome Generation V Pokémon!

(nicknames: Marvolo=Seviper; Hermione=Weedle; Lenny=Sneasel; Violet=Dunsparce; Norbert=Haxorus; Kyle=Heatmor)

Is there anyone here who might be interested in a rapid fire adventure?

I’d need to talk to the mods but the adventure would probably be in Whale Island.

I'm just looking to get my writing juices flowing while activity a bit more of a boost. The ideal candidate would be able to churn out 300 word replies in under 24 hours and (for the sake of fairness) not have too many active adventures.

I'd be happy to update you MM, so unless someone in greater need of an adventure speaks up, it's yours.

Yep! I probably won't get updates in this week since I have a time crunch on a project, so feel free to write up a post at your leisure.

[DaisyInari]

Hi friends! For those of you who don't check out the other parts of UPN but still actually plan on going to the meetup happening this summer, may I please direct you to this thread! There you can see the layout of the place you hopefully will be staying at and also sign up to be a room captain!

[takkupanda]

Saw this TCG playmat and guess who this reminded me of? ^

Congrats Arc on your Gabite evolving.

[Missingno. Master]

Congrats on your Gabite evolving, Arc! And... on your Gible evolving in the first place, for that matter- didn't even know it had evolved in the first place. Holy crap, am I unobservant...
