soc_puppet1) Taking a break from The List in my previous post for a little while. All that horrible misogyny can really wear a person down.
2) So! How 'bout them new Pokémon 8Db Anyone wanna geek over 'em with me? Talk about potential teams? Discuss the cuteness merits of various shiny versions? Hopes and disappointments for things that did/did not show up? Anyone? Anything?
3) Pretty Cure! I am so loving HeartCatch, but I feel sometimes like I am the only one shipping Pink Hair and Bifauxnen. (Yes, I know their names, I'm just being deliberately obtuse.) Tell me I am not the only one, circle/f'list ;_; I've got fanfic kicking around in my brain and everything, just tell me I am not alooooone D:
(On a not entirely unrelated Pretty Cure note, I completely forgot to mention that Futari wa Pretty Cure premiered on Canal 5 de mexico today, whoops ._.a No idea what language it's in, but I still should've posted sooner. Still, maybe a few people still caught it...? [/faint hopes] I mean, the episodes are available for free (Japanese w/English subs) on both Funi's website and CrunchyRoll, but that's not quite the same as being broadcast on television, yanno? Still, if you missed the first episode and want to keep up with television releases, that could work pretty well?)
4) Speaking of fanfic, I'm about 500 words away from having the next part of Communications done. If anyone still remembers it or cares, I am still working on it! Just. Very, very slowly. At this rate, I might have it done by its eighteenth birthday, too ^^a (Yeah. I. I fail at updating this thing.)

Date: 2010-09-23 02:09 am (UTC)I know, right? Nintendo's been pretty fab with the new type combos this round, except for starters. Couldn't they maybe save a fight/fire type for a standard Poké, and then a different combo for the starter? Grah! Fourth gen would've been the perfect opportunity for water/ice, too, IMO; it'd complete the counter-type opposite-direction super effective thing the three seemed to have started (ground > fire, fight > steel, steel ~ grass/ground VS ground > fire, fight > ice, ice > grass), and would've made more sense with a penguin than steel to boot. [/entitled/opinionated fan]
Hrm; I'll have to dig through GameFAQs. I'm sure they've got an item list there somewhere, and that should give us a foot in the door.
I'm totally glad they waited to give us at least something Daruma-ish until after the Elite Four with Hihidaruma. It's symbolic of our completion of the main gym/E4 challenge, like coloring in the other eye :3
Jeez, that would be such a perfect match, too! Though I'd be inclined to match flame and toxic orbs to 'mons with Flash Fire and some variation of Poison Heal, respectively. Sticky Barbs, on the other hand...
Huh; guess I never thought of Victini as a "cat" before, though I guess I can see it. I'll bet it's more useful than Delcatty, too.
Ground/flying they did with Gligar, but that's about it. Now, ground/electric...! And Ghost is my favorite type (at the moment), so I'm loving all over the new stuff they've done with it ♥ I'm loving over the new type combos in general, in fact!
