I'm a Conan Gray fan, so I've been listening to his new song lately. Feel like he captured that feeling of the end of a relationship pretty well, both in the song and music video. Also, super random but YouTube recommended it to me (???) and actually it's a bop. I wasn't the biggest BEP fan back in 2009 so I didn't listen to it I guess lol. Also, nothing against the band, I was just much more into Lady Gaga during that period.

Noted!! Will not use the shortened version :)

Wow! That's awesome! It's kinda fun to wear as a pedometer and have some extra motivation for exercising or just stretching your legs if you work from home. Editing from my phone to add picture of my childhood device that I found at my dad's house last year. Prob needs some light cleaning and I should try to put new batteries in and see if it still works 👀

I know it can be a touchy subject for some, we lost Ash and got a whole new cast of characters — but now that there's been some time to watch Liko and Roy's adventure, what are your thoughts? Personally, I have not watched the anime in many, many years. But since it's available on Netflix, I was curious to see what Horizons was like with the new protagonists. I was actually pleasantly surprised and am enjoying it so far. Made me very nostalgic thinking back to some of the early days of Ash's adventure in the anime. Curious to hear what others think!

Just wanted to share a thread in which we can share what games we're playing at the moment :) Right now: Pokémon Scarlet, was picking up Shiny Pachirisu and Pawmi during the Mass Outbreak Mario Kart World, the only actual Switch 2 game I have (lol) World of Warcraft to get the mount from the Diablo Greedy Emissary event

Ohh, need to redeem this, thank you! May need to pull on some more Eevee packs now

Once annoyance I found is that they need SVGs, I may have to bug @moving to help out

Thanks for making this! If anyone is looking for a guild, I recommend The Ninth. I'm just a member and I found it randomly, but quite active. Might be full right now but they regularly purge inactive members.

Yay, more Wicked soundtrack fans!!

I really like this idea and was going to do something similar, was kind of mulling over Gym Badges or if something else would work, but I think you're right — Mt. Moon is a Kanto location so it would make sense to start with that region's badges. We can expand to other regions as people move up ranks too

Ash travelled extensively with his Pikachu and, even unevolved, was a powerhouse when it came to battles. If you could choose one Pokémon to travel with that could far surpass the capabilities of what you'd expect even if it was not evolved or was traditionally viewed as being a "weaker" Pokémon, what would you choose? I'd probably travel alongside one of the following: Sewaddle Dunsparce Parasect Cherrim Carnivine Nuzleaf Ariados Curious to hear who your exceptional partner would be!

Ok, I have added the ability to have Switch and Pokémon GO codes in profiles!

Glad you're here!! I didn't know you ran a forum as well back in the day! I like the name haha

Wow, welcome back!! It has been so special to see people who were original members come back and have memories of the original forum 🤗 Super cool to hear you're a teacher now! I taught at an English school in Japan for eight years — it can be really rewarding to see kids learn and grow (but also sometimes very exhausting, lol). Much respect to professional teachers!

Love Darumaka and Darmanitan, so very happy to get a hundo that can Dynamax 😍🔥

I got my votes in! Some of those were really tough to narrow down to just 6 favorites!!

With the release of Alolan Pokémon coming to the expansive Sitting Cuties plushie line, I'm curious what everyone's wishlist looks likes! Day 1 purchases Fomantis and Lurantis Pyukumuku Turtonator Kommo-o Blacephalon Future buys Morelull and Shiinotic Toxapex Dedenne Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o Magearna Poipole and Naganadel Sadly, Sitting Cuties get pretty expensive now that they're like $16 😂 If I am able to snag all my top picks it'll be almost $100

Curious about what our MMC members have decided about Nintendo's latest console. I think there are a lot of good reasons for people to wait, not least of all because of the price, but the jump in specs and additional features also make it an exciting release. The original Switch is already 8 years old (maybe I'm getting old but it doesn't feel like it's already been eight years, haha) so many people have been waiting for its successor for awhile. Personally, I did end up pre-ordering because I want to be able to cover any Pokémon news for my website. If I wasn't running PokéJungle, I don't know if I would have picked it up immediately. I actually waited to buy the original Switch until LGPE was announced. There's also the downside of pre-ordering that you get the only launch color available and, based on historical trend, we'll probably see a Pokémon version released at some point.

Hoping we don't see it with the Switch 2 💀

I was looking at stuff and I almost feel like the early seasons were more adventurous about what they'd add. Maybe that's wrong though and I just missed later seasons.

There are some locations and Pokémon lore that have basically remained exclusive to the animated series, so I'm wondering what people would like to see in a future game or even the main idea a game is themed around. The ancient Pokémon from 'The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis' While the 'Dark Device' and absorbing and possessing Pokémon and people is probably too dark for The Pokémon Company to put into a game, it would be cool to see where these Pokémon came from and Poké Ball alternatives that were used to capture them. Pink Pokémon from Pinkan Island in 'In The Pink' So I would be ok with a game of pink Pokémon, but really what I'd like to see is some Pokémon customization with a mechanic that's already been established in the lore: berries! Giant Pokémon Robots from 'Island of the Giant Pokémon' Maybe we got this in a form from Pokéstar studios, but wouldn't it be fun to either have a theme park sim to make your own park of giant robotic Pokémon or be stuck in a malfunctioning park and have to fight your way out? The Baltoy civilization from 'Me, Myself and Time' A Baltoy civilization? Yet another ancient civilization that sounds intriguing. Would love to see ancient Hoenn explored in the future and see what was going on back then. The time-traveling aspect of this episode is kind of seen already in the series with the first Legends game. Ok, your turn! What would you like to see brought into the video games inspired by something in the anime?

Feel free to post the latest songs, albums or artists you're listening to here! My main rotation has been Wicked soundtrack, Mayhem by Lady Gaga and some recent singles like End of the World by Miley Cyrus and also whatever's on the top pop list on Apple Music lol

Yeah, I do like that idea. For some Pokémon-specific things like Switch codes, Pokémon GO codes, maybe I can just have the option to display those in people's author boxes next to their posts for maximum visibility (if people feel comfortable entering that information in publicly)

On the topic of MSN/AIM, I remember using those programs that let you have all your messaging apps in one lol. I remember using Trillian for awhile, which apparently still exists as a messaging app https://www.trillian.im/

Apologies for not responding sooner! I read your article about the forum on your site because a pingback email showed up in my inbox (although I had to use Google Translate) :) Appreciate you covering the movement to promote smaller independent communities! Looking forward to seeing more from your site, I love to see new fansites get created.
