oops, or "I joined a forum barely clinging onto life because I want to"

uh hey i saw someone else make a re-introduction thread so i thought that i'd throw my hat into the ring. also full disclosure i pretty much joined this forum only for fizzy bubbles because i'm like that

so uh hi what's up, i'm blu3shift. i kind of stumbled across FB a while back and kind of watched over it for a bit—it kind of piqued my interest that there was still some sort of forum RP still running in the year of our lord 2021. i'm definitely not new to the whole RP thing, having done a bit back in 2013-2014, but i actually am sort of new to pokemon somehow, my only resource being flicking through bulbapedia pages for the past year or so (and playing soulsilver, my first pokemon game, for the past few days).

so why do i say this? it's because hell yeah i'm going to dive right into this thing because i just want to have fun. i've been deliberating on my ̶O̶C̶ ̶t̶w̶o̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶p̶s̶ ̶r̶e̶m̶o̶v̶e̶d̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶e̶l̶f̶-̶i̶n̶s̶e̶r̶t̶ character for it and i'm tired of holding back on it. i guess you'll be seeing me around once i get everything set up on that end

Hello. We're still alive, sort of. New introduction threads are totally fine, although you'll probably get at most myself, dopple, and Loki reply. If anyone else shows up I'll jump for joy.

Welcome to UPN Blu3shift! You seem to have noticed the situation we've been in since roughly 2017 or so, but we still hope you enjoy your stay nonetheless!

Edit: Oi, does this mean Kuno's gotta jump around a bit now?

yeah lmao i think every forum was decimated by the rise of discord. i was on a decently sized one that noticeably had a decline in posts around 2016-2017 as everyone kind of took the path of least resistance and started messing with discord way more often, but i digress

thanks for the warm welcome! it's been a hot minute since i've posted on a forum (especially a vbulletin one, i was raised on phpBB) but i already feel at home.

I read on gamefaqs that if you jump 100 times you unlock phoopes as a playable character.

I don't recommend jumping unless you are a professional like Mario.

With the weight I've gained from the quarantine...I could cause earthquakes if my feet left the ground.

(THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALLY FUN LITTLE GIF THAT I MADE RIGHT HERE BUT APPARENTLY I NEED MORE POSTS IN ORDER TO POST LINKS. OOPS)
The people may have vanished but the spam bots that post risky links sure didn't. One day they will get advanced enough AI that they will shitpost on a Pokemon forum all by themselves.

it's really neat, albeit i'm kind of forcing it to be really grindy because a third of my team is like ten levels ahead of everyone else. as someone who's historically been really avoidant of JRPGs because i'm not a huge fan of long, boring battles, i think it's really been a learning experience for my godforsaken impatient self.

IIRC i have a quilava, ampharos (just evolved, he was my only electric type and i had to clear out that lighthouse), beedrill, bellsprout, furret, and wooper. i might swap one out for a mid game pokémon, especially since i've been starting to really ramp up how much i'm catching (and i just hit up the safari zone), but i'm kind of a little too attached to who i have already.

A bit belated on the welcome, but welcome nonetheless! I for one hope that forums never truly die out- Discord's nice and all, but I just couldn't see it replacing forums completely.

And looks like your team's doing alright so far, too. If you do decide to just keep what you have, no shame in that- many of the early-game Pokémon can still put in some good work later in the game.

I hoped no one would notice. Like, "hey chat is moving so fast no one can see that I gotta do this dumb thing"
