The shutdown hasn't actually happened yet, either. That's all set to close on the 20th.

I want to draw fanart of Brendan and May wearing cool sunglasses going.
"Where were going, we don't need Link cables."
They were the last gen that used them. :lol

The Poké Ball pattern Vivillon has had its first release announced:

It'll be given away at the Pokémon Center in Paris next month.

Sure as hell hope it's given away to everyone at some point, because to be in France only of all places is going to make this one hard as dicks to get...

Paris? That's an odd place to start.
Then again, the only US release will probably in fucking NY or something, so it doesn't really surprise me.

Oh it wouldn't surprise me at all, either. *sigh*

So all that training I said I'm planning? Most are hitting roadblocks because I don't feel like going back to W2 and hunting for shards to get a lot of the good moves for these Pokémon. Why couldn't we have move tutors in X and Y? >_<

I know that feeling. When I made my Umbreon in X, it needed, like, 2 tutored moves. So that grinding sure was fun :I

My sinnoh dex in complete!
Now to spend Summer collecting Unova Pokemon!

Oh what. :|

I find exclusive distributions to be a middle finger to others who are left out.

I'm trying to work out a Snorlax, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Swampert, Flygon... and haven't even looked beyond third gen yet. And all require one or two and I just don't feel like going through that.
