    You do?

    I assume it is a job they are paid to do. I have never seen any volunteer recruitment.

    @TechHog That boilerplate represents the vast majority of all interactions with mods I see.

    Either they have very restrictive rules on what they can post or at least some of their number are bots.

    yo @TheJeffers what is your favorite Pokémon I’m guessing it’s scyther because of your profile picture

    @Pokemaster9293 For a long time it was my favourite. I remember encountering it in the Safari Zone in Pokémon Red and managing to capture one. I also liked the older one Ash caught in the anime, or was it one of the books?

    Since then I think Buzzwole might have overtaken it. I like Mimikyu, too.

    Scyther is available as an avatar, though, so that's the one I use.

    I guess we’re brothers because I used to love scyther when I first played Pokémon game fire red using an emulator console then when I started playing Pokémon Unite, scizor actually got me a whole lot of KOs then I started liking it more than good old scyther. And I found it as an svatar just like you.

    Plus scizor and scyther are in the same evolution family

    @Pokemaster9293 I personally didn't like Scizor as much as Scyther. Although the core silhouette is essentially the same, I feel they changed the design a little too much. But to each their own.
