Basically in this thread you can discuss anything of little to no importane and be completely off topic. All general rules still applyI'll do the honor of starting this off with... "What do you think of my design?"

When Generation V started numerous people online were scrutinizing some of the Unova Pokemon, due to "unoriginal designs" *cough*ice cream Pokemon*cough*. Though they were perfectly fine with Voltorb and Electrode; Diglett and Dugtrio; as well as Magnemite and Magneton, who arguably have unoriginal origins too. >_> The only exception is that because they were released earlier it makes it somehow ok.
Today on the radio they were talking about this 91yo Australian man who goes to different night clubs to hook up with younger women. His daughter said that she found it ok, because "he's old" and that "makes it funny" (which I agree with for sure haha! ).
Point is somehow in the minds of people age makes something or someone judged differently between being young and old. :S I say it all comes down to individual perceptions and experiences, so it's merely a subjective bias.

Personally I think electrode doesn't have a very, as Hydro put it, original design. I find the 'ice cream cone' pokemon to be much more original. I mean, how many rpgs have you played with slime monsters like muk and grimer in them? Probably a lot. Ice cream monsters? I would say very few.
But personally I don't like judging things like pokemon based on originality. Sure, it is nice, but after 700+ pokemon, obviously some ideas are going to be repeated.

I love all Pokemon no matter what they look like~ I loved stating all of the Pokemon based on animals and objects from previous gens and watching people attempt to argue with me.

Some of my favorite Pokemon designs are extremely unoriginal! Like this pile of purple gunk. Or this random jumble of eggs. People just need to calm down, bro.

Honestly despite all the hate that's been given to newer generations, the 6th gen is probably the most creative as far as designs go. I mean there are a few pretty simple animal designs, but a lot have neat little things about them. We may have the lion, goat and bird pokemon, but we also have the upside down squid, a crab with a massize cannon claw and a flower pokemon which is not a grass type. Seriously, when was the last time there was a game with an upside down squid?

Thoughts on the new type? I love the fairy type, it totally destroyed everything I know about type match ups lol. Learned what doesn't work on it the hard way.

I LOVE THE FAIRY TYPE IT IS MY FAVORITE TYPE *SCREAMS*
I was so happy to see that it was a new type being introduced. I just really love everything about it, and it really made the typing system a lot more stable.

The Fairy-type was needed greatly! Finally the types are more balanced. Dragon has another weakness to contend with, whilst Steel and Poison become more appropriate attacking types because of their niche for being super effective against the Fairy-type! In fact, it's interesting to see the changes made to Poison and Steel, since they were more status/defensively inclined in past generations. :3 A lot more stable now, as Hoshi put it!
Vilex should be happy about Poison-types being boosted.

So, how was everyone's Thanksgiving? To those who celebrate Thanksgiving, anyway.

My younger siblings decided to "play" with the turkey and do their "thing." You don't even want to know the details, trust me! xD
Lets just say that there was a lot of bread to pass around. >-<

Hm... I spent a lot of it helping the family make the food, this year we actually put out appetizers at 1PM and then ate at 4PM. It was a lot nicer than most years, although I'm not too sure if I'm pleased with how our dumplings turned out. Something seems a little weird about them, which is disappointing because they're my favorite part of Thanksgiving.
But at least I was able to hang out with my family and help them with things.

My thanksgiving was full of good food and awkward interactions with family members.
Probably would have been less awkward if certain family members hadn't repeatedly asked me if I was into dating and romance yet!! :S

Oh wow, eek. We got into that conversation at my table but it was about how I didn't want to have children and my aunt was jokingly saying that would change as I got older. I commented that it was certainly not going to change. And that I'm just not romantically interested in peeps, so yeah... xD
Hopefully they don't continue to pester you to get into dating, it's not something that you should be forced into doing. Or feeling like something's "wrong" or whatever if you aren't dating by X age.
