A nerd like any other...

Welp. Accidentally defeated the first Pokemon seen on Route 202. Caught a Kricketot and a Budew in routes 203 and 204. Lyra, the Kricketot, was defeated while I was training her up to speed. Figures. I should have taught her Hidden Power so she'd have some other form of attack. That was stupid of me, banking on Bide alone in a Nuzlocke challenge. I'll try to be more careful with the other newbie.

So, at the end of the second day of the challenge, here's what things look like:

( under a cut )

I got your card and present, xen0glossy. Thank you! ...You didn't have to send me anything! I don't want to be any trouble... ^^;

It's adorable, though. *places Snivy toy on the Shelf of Nerdiness next to Raiho*

How are my cards getting along, people that asked for them? Anyone get theirs yet?

In the meantime, have a username meme that came from atrypical. Geez, look at all the angels.

bathhouse_boss: Satake is a mob boss who hangs out in the bathhouse.

fightsinheels: Hiroko...fights in heels. Seriously, go look.

livesbytheword: Izumi, uh. Yeah. Messian preacher.

savior_of_souls: What Takumi calls himself. ("souls" meaning "ghosts" or "earthbound spirits")

dreamrocksynth: Shinichi wears red dreamrock armor and aspires to synthesis.

crackingvoice: Metatron is the Voice of God and he's...well, he was slowly losing his grip on his sanity due to his AU. But the Mall has provided ample time to recover.

regainedvirtue: He's a Virtue and is ex-Yosuga, and he's well...regained virtuous qualities after deciding that, I don't know, killing innocent people is wrong.

chairhaswings: A Devil Children-style Principality, whose...chair has wings.

human_enough: He's a demi-fiend, but he's apparently human enough to produce some magatsuhi (which he uses to feed his demon party).

metafiend: Kenta is a demi-fiend who's noticed all the video game tropes his world is suddenly running on.

onlysaneseraph: Gabriel, in SMT2, is pretty much just that - Uriel, Raphael, and Michael are nuts.

first_halfdemon: Just what it sounds like, Chaos Hero was the first half-demon in the franchise. (I think)

untrueblue: A play on "true blue" - since the color of Law in SJ is blue - and Rio's reluctance to follow the Law endgame.

middle_route: Neutral tends to fall in the middle when listing the alignments. Also when depicting the alignments on a scale, Neutral is by definition in the middle.

adarkerangel: Mastema both has a darker personality and purpose (he's the guy sent to kill people) than most angels, as well as being the only angel aside from Lailah who has black wings.

pacifistbrat: Charles doesn't like to battle and he is a brat.

30-Day Video Game Meme Day 19: Picture of a Game Setting You Wish You Lived In.

Pokeworld! ...Isshu preferred (Bachuru is so cute) but really, I'd live anywhere there. Sure, it's dangerous, but...

Hey, check out my Halloween Duskull! What should I name him, guys?

30-Day Video Game Meme Day 5: Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were).

This is a really tough one. While there are characters with traits I admire or identify with, I can't say any one character is really like me.

My poor Lumine and Jolt... They'll be back after Halloween.

So, in my first Bug-Catching Contest in HeartGold, I caught and won with a Scyther! worldwalkerpure, didn't you say you wanted one? I can give her to you if you still want one, although Serebii says it's obtainable in both versions.

EDIT: Growlithe caught! I'll be hanging out in the wifi room and in chat so we can coordinate.

Also, the Aeria GMs are doing another Bad Act series of events for Imagine. It probably won't be quite Megaten-ish storywise, if it's anything like the last one, but then again if it's anything like the last one, it'll be fun to go along with.
