DUDE BASICALLY SOUNDS LIKE THE BEST DAY EVER

ALSO AMPHAROS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POKEMON EVER FFFFFFF

I need more pokemon icons

[purapea]

IT WAS AWESOME. I'm so bummed that I never have gone to these events before (specifically the Shaymin one because omg Shaymin) BUT I AM CERTAINLY GOING TO THEM AFTER THIS.

AMPHAROS IS LIKE, MY SECOND FAVOURITE AFTER JOLTEON. IT'S SO CUTE OMG ;A;

yes you do.

[meevees]

I've never been to one before but I've always wanted to.

IT'S LIKE MY SECOND FAVORITE AFTER UMBREON WHOA. TWINS ALMOST.

I must fix this problem post haste.

[purapea]

I'd recommend it. They had pokemon face painting. Pokemon face painting, Meevee.

WOAH THAT IS TRIPPY DUDE. YOU'RE LIKE MY DOPPLEGANGER.

YES YOU SHOULD.

[tsuruhime]

AHHH that sounds so awesome :D

I missed the event at Sheffield today and I was considering going to catch the one in Liverpool next week. I'll be going for sure now.

[purapea]

It really was and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't been to one, if only for the free demo play through of HG/SS *___*

IT WAS JUST SO MUCH FUN and there was so much going on and ahhh!

[tsuruhime]

Ahaha, it'd actually be my first trip out of Sheffield! *nervous*

But it definitely sounds like it's worth going to!

[purapea]

Oh wow really? IT WOULD BE LIKE YOUR POKEMON ADVENTURE. Don't forget to take your running shoes!

But seriously, if you go with people you know and who are into it, it's really worth it! You can make a whole day of it and have a lot of fun 83

BOLTYYYY

Ahhhh that sounds like such fun! And I wish we had Forbidden Planet and Wagamama's in the US. D:

For training your Mareep: have you tried giving it an experience share and then having one of your higher-level Pokemons battle stuff like Fearows and Raticates? I just like busting through the first 20 levels or so is all. XD

[purapea]

He is so cute, Lynx omg so fucking cute ;A;

I WISH YOU DO TOO. But you have lots of other awesome things that we don't have, so it's only fair that we have something xD

I can't give it EXP share because it's holding a Power Anklet, which boosts the Speed Stat when you level it up using Effort Value leveling. It's rather complicated and I still don't quite understand it myself, but for every Magikarp you kill (all pokemon have different Effort Values) you get a little extra boost when you level up in the Speed stat. Basically, I'm levelling the long way around because when I eventually get it that high, it's speed stat will be through the roof, which is what I'm aiming for 83 Otherwise, I'd just train like normal xD EV training is LABORIOUS BUT PAYS OFF IN THE LONG RUN.

[lynxgriffin]

I have a Bolt plushie as well, although it does not look the same! (I think Disneyland makes different kinds of plushies.)

I suppose that is true. XD

Ahh, I had forgotten about the power anklet business. :O That would be a good way to get speed up really well! I have done some EV training, but I probably haven't maxed them out as well as I could (since for my last team I did EV training for two traits I wanted them to have, like speed/special attack, HP/attack, etc.)

[purapea]

Yeah, this was from the Disney store and it's made out of that really soft fabric. oh man, it's so nice to cuddle ;;

Yeah, I've done it before too. I have a level 24 Gabite that has over 70 speed points. 8D
