I am a FUCKING addict

[astralabortion]

We strong-armed the local Gamestop into a pre-release Pokemon party because neither Perry nor I were going to wade through a sea of children to get our fix. HOW DO? Wave a bunch of coffee with names like "LUNCH WITH ELVIS" in the face of your local GS manager and watch a whole new world of opportunity and faggoty nerdery open to you.

Grats! I'm going to be at the world store both days of the launch events for Black/White. I am not looking forward to all the kids, but I am to the over time.

I'm just really excited about the main adults being chicks this time around. 5 generations to have women in important roles. About damn time.

I might be misunderstanding, but are you saying there weren't enough female roles in the early games? Because since Red and Blue, there have been female trainers, gym leaders, and Elite Four members. :/ Also, the central male characters (Bill and Prof. Oak to be specific) were total dumbasses and therefore weren't much credit to the males.

Reread what I said "the main adults being chicks". Trainers, gym leaders and elite four for the most part were kids and teens. And Bill, Oak, Elm etc were still men. No matter how you may have perceived them. Same glass ceiling in the games as in real life.

Just saying it's a nice change.

And I'm only 2 hours into the game, but I'm liking it so far.

I envy your ability to get what you want out of employees. D: I'm just going to have to wait until the 6th... hopefully going to the Gamestop on the military post will help avoid the children.

I would gladly pay to witness this hilarity.
