>>32071875
I had something similar happen last January. I bought some cards from Troll&Toad, and I live in Kentucky, only about 40 minutes away from their store. It took about 9 days for them to send me my stuff.

Th-thanks.
Reminder that James is a true Pokemon Master by knowing how to treat his Pokemon properly
>>32071857
James really is the best character in the anime. He has the best moments.
Reminder that most of the main characters treat their pokemon properly
>>32071857
I think it's just moreso that he usually obtains Pokemon just through making friends with them rather than battling and catching them, they join him out of choice rather than capture. Not to say he's the only character that befriends Pokemon, but rather that he usually never catches them in the traditional way.

As a fan of pokémon, what makes you trully and utterly depressed?
>>32070971
this board, sometimes
Inaccurate praise or criticism acting as noise for the signal of true facts as to the flaws of recent games
>>32070971
Game Freak's inability to tell a proper story rivalling the quality of larger RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles
Is Red the strongest tamer in Pokemon?

>I don't get roguelikes the thread
I didn't like it at first either but now I prefer the mechanics to the real games, sans the resource management.
>MFW I losed my oportunity to get the beedrillite for my bugbro because I never knew about that oscure as fuck tournament
JUST FUCK YOU GAMEFREAK
If you didn't care enough to pay attention to the distribution news, I guess you didn't care *that* much.
>>32070732
TPCi Will distribute all the megastones later, anon. Don't worry
>>32070752
Dude, I have a life, a gf and a job, I dont have the time to check everyday for some oscure and complicated shit to get something that was given for free before, they could just put them in the game and make some entertaining quest to get em.

It's only tree fiddy

You know that it's keyed to yen, right? It's comparable to $3.50, which is quite reasonable.
The bigger complaint should be that there's free health care for animals, but apparently very few resources devoted to health care for people. Have we ever seen a human hospital in the games? I don't think we have. Just some roving doctors here and there. Life expectancy must be absurdly low.
>>32070617
It's yen, not dollars, you retarded burger.
Lets have a model redo thread, a large chunk of the 3d models are hot garbage and would look so much better if redone
>all birds eternally stuck in the air
>>delphox
you do realize the person who made these didn't change the model but the animation right
>>32070579
Guess I did fuck up my wording, but yes, the animations and poses should be changed a bit
>>32070571
>doesn't know the difference between model and animation
