All this years, I've been waiting and hoping for a Ghost-type Eeveelution 😭 I also second the other suggestions (a bug Eevee could be super cute and we're really missing the dragon to form a duo with Sylveon...), just any new evolution to add to the family would be so loved. I just have a big love for the Ghost-type (with my other two most favourites, Water and Fairy, already present) so I would be especially excited for it

For the longest part of my life pretty much all I ever played was Pokémon, so I feel the line about Nintendo consoles being Pokémon machines 😅 I'm not very good at most games, especially real time combat/action things and the like (so I had a lot of anxiety going into the Legends games, but lucky for me, they're still Pokémon!) I did play Animal Crossing New Leaf, Fire Emblem Awakening (and Bravely Default & Second if it counts?) on the 3ds though, and Fire Emblem Engage on the switch (I really need to finish one of these days ... it's been over a year because I got overwhelmed catching up to every emblem paralogue ever instead of doing them as they unlocked in the story lol) — absolutely loved all of them! I also have fondness by proxy for Mario games because I watched my siblings play and played Mario Kart together with family; plus having friends who love all things Mario.

I'm not sure yet how much it will be part of my celebrations, but there will be some shape of Pokémon during my Christmas holidays for sure — ideally I'll play any of the console games, but if not I'll still be checking TCG Pocket and Masters EX. Sadly I don't have much in terms of ornaments and nothing that could even serve as a Christmas tree to decorate at my room (as of now, at least) but I do have my smol collection of fanmerch out year-round (and my few plushies also always nearby) I also joined a fanwork gift exchange hosted by a fan every year and since the gifts will be published on AO3 on the 24th, that counts too I'd say! Though speaking of gifts, I kinda promised my nephew I'd give him a Pokémon book and I still haven't had a chance to buy one 😹

Hi! I'm new here and finally get around to posting an introduction 😅 I go by the username boyfrillish online, but just calling me Frillish (he/him) is fine! Pokémon has been a forever fandom for me pretty much since it arrived over here in Germany, even with the occasional not always voluntary break (my longest, of about 5 years, ended in summer '22 when I finally finished the Alola games and in the same year allowed myself to buy a switch, to catch up the games since SwSh and it's honestly the best thing I did. Pokémon main series remains a big "feeling home" for me). My absolute most favourites are B2W2, SwSh and Z-A quickly shot up the ranks because it just clicked with my brain. Big shoutout too to the Johto games too, but really I'd say for me pretty much none of the main series is lower than A tier. Honestly I have way too many favourite Pokémon, like Sylveon & Eevee & all Eeveelutions, Frillish & Jellicent (my username may give that one away lol) Corviknight and it's pre evolutions, Mimikyu, Popplio and it's evolutions, Espurr & Meowstic, ... chances are any Pokémon I look at has me cry from affection haha I love, love having both a mix of my major faves and Pokémon I haven't really used before on my teams and get attached to them quick. Deciding on my team gets harder and harder and I cry every time. Aside from the Pokémon themselves, I also have a big love for the human characters, especially the male protagonists and rivals. I like to write fanfiction and I keep telling myself I'll pick up drawing again... one of these days, I'll surely get to it. Like many others here, I grew fatigued of social media over the years and started missing all the great aspects from the times when forums and stuff were more popular, like not being dependent on algorithms, lurking not being discouraged or even made impossible, old topics being easy to find again or discover anew, joining the conversation whenever you have the time or energy, ... it did take me a bit to actually come in and join some communities around, but better late than never as the saying goes! I can't really think of much else to say so I'll end the rambling for now lol I look forward to my time here and it's nice to meet everyone!
