Sigh....

I'm not feeling positive, am grouchy, want chocolate and feel ready for an argument.... Hmmmmm maybe I should check the Unite part of the forums? They always seem up for a f1ght, LOL!

(Phone glitched. Not done. Hold on) Hmm... To the first part, can't do anything about that. We just have o wait for @Evolve8eon

About the Unite issue, I hate it even that happens! For me there's usually an update that follows, so maybe their doing something with the game! Now AI... I could rant about how much I hate it all day long. See, I don't mind people that use it for fun, you know? People that ask it random questions or get inspiration. But when people use it for art or writing it angers me. There's no real work, effort, or creativity! Plus the fact that AI is taking people's jobs (including people I'm close to). I don't want to go too deep into all this, but I strongly believe in the AI apocolypse, especially now that phones have AI automatically downloaded! Sigh Anyways, maybe try watching a comfort show? I have shows that always make me feel better!

Yeah AI is bad for many things, especially what you mentioned... My dad is a composer... (and a band teacher in retirement that still subs at local schools)...yep. I guess we could both go on and on about that.

Sooooo the movie I pick for tonight, if I could would be.... 😎 heehee... One of the Terminators.... Down with Skynet!!!!

Right back at you!

😁🎉😁😎😁🎉😁

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

CEEEEEEEEELlebrate good times. COME ON!!!

🎶 It's a celebration!🎶

That was our class song when we graduated from highschool because we ended up hearing it everywhere we went on our senior trip. Ahhhh, memories!

Random song on kareoki (I spelled that do wrongly lol) for me!

Lol, still a fun one!!!

That it is! Now it is Tuesday for me, so HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

Happy Tuesday/Wednesday too!!! (Tuesday for me also)

Haaaaapppy Tuesday!

happy Seaugptusday

Thank you and you too!!!!!!!!

Happy Wensday!
Hope y'all have a great day!

I totally spelled that wrong lol!

Aaaaand now it's Thursday!
Soooooooo Happy Thursday!!

It's also Friday/Thursday! 😃. So happy Friday/Thursday!!! 🥳

True.....
So yeah!!
🎉🎉🎉

Happy Friday/Saturday!😎
😄🎉😎

🎉🥳🎉HAPPY DAYS!🎉🥳🎉

According to Weird-Al in White and Nerdy "Happy Days is my favorite theme song"

Lol!!! I forgot about Weird-Al... and yes I watched reruns of Happy Days (with fonzy) back when I was a kid... yes, on a thing called a tube TV. Before flatscreens.....lol at one point if we wanted to change the channel you actually had to GET UP out of your seat, walk to the TV, and turn, yes turn, the dial. No it was in color but still .... So different from today. We didn't get a clicker (a remote) for a TV until waaaaaay later.

Feels like something my dad would tell me about lol

My dad said he does remember those TVs, but he has remotes. The remote was the children getting up and turning the dial lol

😂LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL😂! Good one!! Your parents rock😎!

Heck yeah they do 😎

Dad asked did you have an outside antenna as well?

LOL! we started off with rabbit ears!!! (funny thing.... A few years back we actually switched back to an outside antenna because DirectTV and Xfinity were getting tooo expensive.... So, chuckling, NOW I have an outside antenna. But I don't watch much regular TV anymore so that's ok.

Interesting...

Interesting...

Double Interesting... 🤔

(🤭) 📺

Lol, typo... *Sigh not "sogh"

I enjoy Unite but I can never find time to play it! I know I could make time but I have to be in a specific mood for it. Ya know?

Hades, you and me both.
I've got no time!

Yeah I get it.... Ok.... Well if you two ever end back on... Let me know 😁.... 🐉🔥

That was fun, @fineasmatei ! Thanks for playing Unite with me & CP!!!!!!!!!

LOL!!! (me too... Do you use a Gboard, @meLikePKMN ?)

Lol, that was supposed to say "derailed" not "detailed"! But detailed kinda works too...

No need to be sorry! My mom has ADHD (and she and the doctors say I have ADD) so I literally see exactly how we get from one topic to the other and it all makes sense to me. I like it!

Exactly!!!! (My Dad has it and has always said I have it like borderline or a little bit due to certain indicators, thus the way my mind works …Yep, I see the pathways through the conversations too 😉)

I like that about you!
You Are cool like that!

😎😎😎

"Rice pilaf, chocolate, or cheesy pizza sound good to you both, @Hades0918 & @PokeMom244 ?"

Why not all of the above?

Why not all of the above?

Mmmmmmmmmmm Excellent idea!!!

Me having a glorious big brain moment 😎

LOL! Keep 'em coming! Those big brain moments rock 😎

Yes Hades!
All of them!

its pokemon realated because it has a ditto fort in it :)

@fineasmatei Fax

Aaaand, a Sunflora flower shop aaaaaand it's called TinkaToWn aaaaaand Slowbro is an actual walking creature currently residing in one of @fineasmatei 's homes (I'll take him home soon, I'm almost finished with the roof)

See? Safe!

it’s pokemon related because one of the towns is called rhythm world which is In the same universe

(🤭) Yep. That's exactly why, @Evolve8eon ! Heeheeheeeee. The same universe makes ALLLLL the difference. 😁

@Evolve8eon its acualy a smart name

Yes yes!

R u OK?

What happened?

Thanks, Team Dragon Flame. I'm good now. Sometimes little things get to me when I know they shouldn't. I appologize.

No need to be sorry! We all gotta express our feelings in some way!

👍yep!

why?

because then that might mean.... gulp .... the world is going to end!!! 😬

That's not even being dramatic. It truly would mean something awful!

Yes!!!! Yes it would 😔... the end of it all?

Possibly...

Oops! Last night I pulled a retoion....I forgot to log out yesterday afternoon! Lol, no I wasn't actually reading for hours and hours. My browser was closed. So even though ot looked like I was here, alas, I was not.

Typo: *it

Wait... Am I here 24/7? I never exit the Forums just either switch tabs or turn the system off

Hmmm, no, I know you're not on ALL the time.... (Even though it seems like it, lol). Let's do an experiment 😃 I won't "log out" at all today. When you're here check and see if my Dragonite is at the bottom.... 😁

Will do!

No, your profile hasn't been on much today

Ok then my theory has been disproven. Hmmmmmmm..... So does that mean @retoion has a pc somewhere, with the site open all this time?!

I think tabs in the backround like dont count if your online

Hmmmmmm...... 🤔 Idk

Awesome!

👍😁👍

Can you just tell me which one? Hate to say it but I rarely look at Unite Posts. Unless it's yours or there's something in my head that tells me to, I ignore them. I hate negativity and that's all the Unite players are.

Found it

I just did a second one 😁

Well that wasn't a bad post. I hope that people saying "sticker" isn't a new term of violence. I wish that guy luck. Lucky for me, all my chat is disabled so I don't have to worry about that!

Sorry, don't look... I kinda word vomittd today. (Probably too late since you already looked, oops). I won't bug you next time 😁

The other post was called "the guaranteed fix to matchmaking".... Yep talking about restricting is to two pokemon of the same type per match. I said nope.

Typo: us (not is)

I like your rants. They're always positive and name the negative feel not so bad

Awwwwweeee! Thank you! (That's me holding back. Sometimes, inner Dragonite wants to rip into them when I become offended and feel outrage coming on... But I don't think that would help, so I try to behave 😁😎)

Well it is very admirable that you keep your cool so well. Kudos to you-dos!

Fist Bump

Return fist bump

Wababababababa where?????

I think i found it… @Hades0918 responded to you with "facts" so if thats the one i found it.

That was one of them... I have since … gulp .…actually ranted a few times, including this morning. Sigh. I'm not happy with the latest rants. It's like there's this big miscommunication happening and I just can't get the other person to hear what I'm saying. The funny thing , well to me is, we are sort of saying the same things but with a few big differences. We actually agree on specific things but since I don't agree with a specific term and having everyone be forced to conform to that term, then it's like the other person is discounting what I'm saying even if its basically the same thing, and then lumps me in with the "stat out of ranked" mentality they've got going on because I don't follow youtubers. Dramatic sigh while looking for chocolate

I know who you're talking about and it's my in you're head. Their responses to you ignore almost all of the middle ground you try to find. I've just stopped responding to them.

Yeah, sadly, I agree, I think that's for the best. I deleted what I typed three times last night before settling with what I posted. This is a "just walk away" type of situation. (It still bothers me though). Walk away holding our heads up high knowing what we think IS valid.... And moving on. (At least no poky sticks with wavy things were involved.... yet... )

Exactly. You see, what I've learned in my 2,173 years of life in this Earth is the fact that we don't need to prove ourselves. There will always be a person that sees you as wrong until you match exactly what they think. It's not our fault that they refuse to find middle ground. When people refuse to converse, we can't do anything about but nod, say "okay," and leave it alone. It's not bad that we couldn't get to an agreement with this person. It just means that we think differently from them and that honestly doesn't effect us any. Why should we care if some random person disagrees with us? As long as we're happy with our opinion and we're not being disrespectful about our opinion then that's all that matters. (I ranted more than I meant to lol. Sorry!)

I needed to hear (or read) that again. Thank you. Sometimes I just take things to much to heart.... Hmmmm Dragonite still fits me....

Caring to those that treat it well but aggressive to those that threaten it... Yes, very you!

🥺 if the ditto pass is real i will get it 🥺

Ummmm, first they need to add Ditto to the Unite Pokemon ranks..... Maybe soon? 🤞

You, too!!!

Well now, that's strange. I know I had typed "Thanks!" before.… Hmmmm....... Probably a glitch..…

yes yes

That's strange. I know I had typed… Wait... No, I didn't actually type anything! (I knew it was the glitch but was messing with you. You're welcome!)

LOLOLOLOLOL! Hahahahaha..... 😂

Very fun! There's also a new expansion in normal TCG!

Yes!!

yes yes

Absolutely agreed. You know, I remember how the layout for the lobby was the day it came out. Imagine my surprise about how it looks now…

You're probably super-duper frustrated now!

Yeah, it can get annoying navigating the lobby. The gigs thing is that they put the things that I don't find very important in their own section, so I don't have to see them non-stop! But other things do get obnoxious to me. One of these things is definitely the new battle mode selection set up. Why should I have to kick everyone out of my team, exit the mode I'm in, choose another, then reinvite everyone? It was just fine how it used to be!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

Whelp, you now where I'll be.... unless wifi starts getting iffy.

Ugh! I never went and did it! Honestly, I don't like the idea of playing CPUs. I didn't enjoy the match they made me do all that much either. I prefer real people, so I'm not too mad I haven't done it. I just want those rewards, though!

Yep, me two. Think I'll head over in a minute or two for a few rounds of solo..…unless I get pinged first. It IS Shivre city today after all ..…

All depends on my team. Me, you, and our Team Leader together? 100% sure I could. Maybe even Camaro if we can get them on! Me or you as Ceruledge. Of you Ceruledge I'll be Pikachu. Our Team Leader as Blaziken. This is perfection! And if we get Camaro then honestly they can be any Pokémon and we're set! That's my dream team!

YES!!!! (Winky Pikachu sticker)

Okay, so today is Shivre until reset time then its Mer.... Actually you be Ceruledge, I'll go Aegislash, Blastoise, or Venusuar, and Team Leader as Blaziken... C will probably be on today too. (He's the one who told me about it last night). Now remember, we may be battling against trainers who are super good.... but...

"I've Got Your Back!"

Actually there are quite s few pokemon that we could go with...

I'll definitely try tonight!

Awesome! Hopefully I'll see you there!

Did you notice..... Moltres was released last night and by this morning they ALREADY nerfed Moltres.... Hmmmmm..... Maybe legendary Pokemon shouldn't be nerfed but only used in battle against other legendaries? That's just a thought... Kind of like watching palkia & dialga duke it out......

I haven't been on recently. However, there's a chance it got nerfed due to an error in coding. I'm not saying that's what it is, but maybe they put a cool-down or damage value wrong and didn't notice until people were using it. Just a thought. Anyways, My goal (not sure if it will work but definitely the plan) is to get on at 12 AM UTC. Fingers crossed!

🤞 Got it! I'll try to be on around then too 😁

You weren't on. We'll try again later.

I can get on right now? Had internet issues : (

Umm woth the time chg, i think i subtracted wrong. I apologize @Hades0918

You're fine. Yeah, I meant with time change. I responded in my profile.

WE'RE TOGETHER!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I JUST NOTICED OUR MATCHING TOPS!!! Twinzies!

I thought for sure we were losing my Zoroark game...

"KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!"

I'll always see a game through until the end. I don't remember which game it was, but someone kept trying to quit. I would never, though.I'm gonna fight and either we turn it around or take a loss knowing we put up a good fight. As long as we play together, "I"ve got your back!"

"Ditto That!"

(It wasn't me! I usually have my settings set to auto-no vote on surrenders. However, I have it aso set so that I can see when votes are asked for.)

Funny thing, the game with all those votes...... well.... we ended up winning 😎. (Because WE ROCK)

Exactly! 😎 (I responded in my profile, too)

Me and my sister are currently playing. I can put you on my team, but be warned that she is extremely young and doesn't fully understand how to play.

She's actually don't a lot better than I anticipated! We're gonna join if that's okay.

I thought I could invite my sister but the party was full

I'm sorry for missing you two! The party of four changed after a round or two to only three of us... Me, team leader and Ca. Next time I'd love to play with you both!! 😁. I know some youngsters who just like to have fun in the game, and yep, sometimes they surprise me with how good they are.. I believe because they really enjoy their Pokemon and are there for the fun.

Next time, and if not then, soon 😉

Sounds good!

So somebody has been taking about it being bad to go to certain places with certain Pokémon, using labels such as Laners abd Junglers. They say not following the expected way to play them ruins the team. Do you feel this way? I always do to my favorite path (center) because I get good levels early and easy work plenty of points. But if you prefer me to go down the expected path for my characters I can. I don't want to ruin the match by not doing it.

Nooooo, no, no....... I saw the post. I wanted to respond this morning but didn't because I would have started an argument AND I would have been flagged again. I know, I shouldn't be quieted due to flags but I was worried that it would draw attention to the post and to you because I agreed with you. I don't want you to get flags from a specific person because of my opinions when they align with yours. I did give agrees.... Hmmm how to say all this in a way that makes sense?

I understood. Don't worry about me getting flags. I have over 200. 200 more won't hurt anything lol! I'm just glad it doesn't upset you. If you're cool with it I'm cool with it! (Also, I say you go over to there and put your personal thoughts and opinions on it! I'm gonna agree with it, of course, ad if you get a flag the point from the agree will cancel it out!)

Maybe I should just tell them all what I think? Hmmm, @Hades0918 ..... Basically I want my teammates and friends to play as they feel most comfortable. I want others to enjoy the game and the challenges like I do. I would rather all of us throw these silly lane/jungler "rules" out the window and play as a team where we help each other when we can. If that means we take turns jungling or farming, or we have big team battles where we storm a path, then so be it. Is it nice to know that our team starts off covering different areas? Yes, I believe it is so I can concentrate on my lane knowing others are trying their best to cover other areas, until things get tossed up in the air. That's why we communicate in game with the quick chats (gather here, retreat, headed to the top path etc). I believe COMMUNICATION is key. Most of my successful ranked matches, even solo queued, there was good communication. I do not like the idea of being told who/which pokemon, can go where. The type casting is just based on the strengths stats of each pokemon. Doesn't mean that you have to play a specific role. Sometimes my Blastoise is more of an all-rounder and getting in there faces lol. Team Leader loves bottom path and makes it work well with Scizor, Blaziken (also 3 stage), zoroark (speedster), Darkrai, miradon, Gyarados, etc. It works well when we complement each other on paths. I appreciate the person who does choose center path if they watch the maps and go asap to the path that needs them most. Does that make sense? I'm sorry about my rant, but I know my opinion would not be appreciated in the Unite section.... besides you and TeamLeader/CP. Lol, maybe I'll post this there just for kicks. 😁. By the way, Ceruledge does well on the center path. Doesn't get KOd as fast as when I lane with Ceruledge. So please, continue playing how you want and dont, do not, second guess yourself! Be confident and know that you ARE helping the team.

Ok i posted it 😬.... Wonder when that person will see it and I'll get flagged again lol. Maybe I'll get multiple flags to build multiple forts 😂. Lol ahhhh sigh.

I agree with literally everything you just said.

Raising Hand Up for a FIST BUMP

Happy Dance with you

I'm happy you're happy!

Yippee! Dance, dance, dance...

Thank you!!!! (Your turn now 😉)

Yay! Professor Izzy was saved from being rewritten!!!

yes yes

Lol, are you all coming in soon? 😁

I hope so. I aim to get logged into my Microsoft account tonight. The issue is it's a pain to do on the Switch and I can't remember my password… Anyways, maybe you can build that fort out of sticks you've been talking about in Minecraft!

Lol yep

I'll be back .. I'm heading to Unite for a bit. If no friends are there I may head to Minecrft for a bit.

If nothing is done about this, I will defend myself.

how do you see how many flags you have?

@Annimorpheus It is the hazard and exclamation mark on your page. @Dragonfly102024 I truly hope things get better! I hated when this happened to me…

Thanks @Hades0918 & @Annimorpheus !

I'll go back to ignoring it for now… but in another month I may get fed up again.... Or I'm going to build a fort with all those sticks! 😃
