I almost forgot christmas is coming up

Same here. I don't know why, but Christmas feels a lot less apparent than it usually does. Which is not a bad thing to me, less is often more.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Same for me, but I just figured it was depression

 

[Ura]

Well i've never celebrated Christmas before so it's hardly any different from the usual for me.

It does give me 3 weeks off from College though so that's a very big positive for me. College doesn't resume until the 9th for me.

 

[Deleted member]

It's difficult to make a Top 10 list of games I've enjoyed. There's too many choices to pick from.

We have presents, but Ive been so busy that I forgot I even bought my dad and my sister presents

Which reminds me. I have to see if my class is able to get Financial aid

 

[Deleted member]

Is Zelda overrated? It has maintained a spot as one of Nintendo's most popular and beloved franchises for the 30 years it's been around, but I've seen a vocal group of people (possibly a minority) calling it overrated to the point where I'm not sure.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Hell yeah, my class is qualified for Finantial aid, thank the lord.

Its nothing special. You just get free stuff or money sometimes

Oh and break from college is always a plus
I dont go back until the 9th as well

 

[Coricus]

So, few hours old story time.

I went onto an improv comedy Reddit I've been following the past few days that has nothing to do with video games, although there are a handful of gaming prompts for responses and gamers here and there, mostly extremely mainstream or general things though. So I check the latest ones, and to my surprise I see this:

"Characters who shouldn't be in Smash Bros."

I was expecting it to be a completely hypothetical thing for fun. Apparently the prompt creator had. . .something else in mind.

Spoiler: Large Image

So of course I respond in the only way fitting of the environment.

Yeah, I figured as much. Would have been nice unwrapping presents as a kid but whatever.

College is great when it comes to giving us a break. They give us 3 weeks as opposed to the 2 given by Elementary/Secondary schools. Not only that but we get a week off in the middle of every semester as well.

In my first year of College (back in the Fall of 2014) I actually got an entire month of College off. Wrote my last exam on Dec 11 and didn't come back to College until Jan 14.

Its about the same here, the semester ends in the middle of the month off or I get a 2 month break because I dont do summer classes

Yo, why does it sound like the ghost of christmas past is outside, aka Im saying its hella windy

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

For me, I don't see Christmas as unimportant. It's been a little bit of a family tradition, but for as long as I can remember, we would get a picture of Santa Claus for my nan, and she always loves getting these pictures.

Regardless, I just hope that people out there realise that there's a fair amount of religious significance for this holiday, as opposed for it being a time to break out all the sales.

 

[Kurri ★]

My only issue with Christmas is that it doesn't feel the same without snow. I still think it's a pretty special holiday, I just need snow and cocoa, and this song on loop all day erryday

 

[Deleted member]

I've never had a Christmas with snow. I've had birthdays with know though like this year, but that's only because I go to visit the mountains which are so nice. Most of my life has just been by the beach. Even when I vacation it's usually the Hawaiin islands.

 

[Erureido]

I've currently accumulated 15 Bottle Caps from that Festival Plaza exploit. Nighttime seems like the best time to make use because the chances of someone else hosting a Type-Matching mission are pretty high.

17. Super Mario Galaxy 2
16. Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
15. Super Smash Bros for WiiU

It's not even about the religious significance for me, it's just a nice time of togetherness.

Gotta do it with snow. You can do it without the snow, but it's just magical with it.

 

[FalKoopa]

Christmas is nice time for the year, even without the religious significance. The 1 week vacation between Christmas and New Year has just become more and more vital as I moved from high school to college.

Also a good excuse to ask for money to spend

 

[Deleted member]

There's never really been any religious significance to the holiday to me. It took me until my early teen years for me to find out it had anything to do with christianity, I just assumed it was just a fun thing to celebrate. And I did believe in Santa until the truth was obvious for me in my preteens, in fact I thought it revolved all around Santa and the north pole. I mean, really that is primarily what it is anyway. Which is fine because it's just a pagan holiday that christian missionaries and the catholic church anyway.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

It only snowed once where I lived actually. Christmas Day 2004. Needless to say, it was an unforgettable experience. Considering that snow is basically a hundred year phenomena where I live, I'll take it.

 

[Aetheri]

So after several minutes of trade evolutions...

Melemele Pokedex-100%
Akala Pokedex-100%
Ula'Ula Pokedex-100%
Poni Pokedex-100%
Alola Pokedex-100%

And 1 Shiny Charm!

that's the first time I've completed the Regional dex since Generation 1...

Now of to finish my Ghost type run which I just started...

Tauriel

 

[Ura]

I live in Canada so it always snows on Christmas every year.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Speaking of Christmas, I definitely need to re-watch some of that Grinch. It's easily my favorite Christmas special.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Someone on GTS had castform for Metang

Doesn't that person realize you can get Metang through poke pelago?

It's a lot easier to get Metang than Castform

Either way, I'm breeding castform now

 

[Baskerville]

Anyway, to everyone who answered this Question, what are your top 10 games?

These are mine:

View attachment 122768

At 11 I'd put Halo 3, and at 12 I'd put Majora's Mask. 13 would probably be Metroid Prime Trilogy, 14 Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and from there it's really hard to kinda pin things down, as too many titles crop up.

• Bayonetta 1/2
• Bloodborne
• Super Metroid/MP
• Marvel vs Capcom 2
• Dota 2
• Soul Calibur II
• Okami
• MGS2/MGR:R
• SMB3/World
• Kirby Super Star
• Demon's Souls/DS1
• Mario 64/Galaxy 1 and 2
• DMC 1/3/4
• TF2
• RE4/HD 1
• Eternal Darkness
• FF7
• Symphony of the Night
• SFIII: Third Strike

Vague order to this.

My Good Hunters.

Even though this may seem pointless, I kind of wish we had Suplex as a new Fighting Type move for future Pokemon games.

For some reason I thought it was a move

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

For some reason I thought it was a move

Unless we count Seismic Toss as the Suplex, though it's described as a move that uses the power to flip the world or anything close.

But that's mostly a hyperbole than a Pokemon literally flipping the world with the planet's gravity.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

I love in Detroit so its either really really really cold or really really really hot. Theres very few day were its inbetween

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Tfw Magmar is actually based on a salamander (the mythological one) and a booby (the bird).



Yeah, Pokemon have some pretty interesting inspirations for their designs. Magmar sure as hell don't look like a bird to me.

 

[Deleted member]

Where I live, it's freezing cold during winter, and I at most only ever experienced one or two snowless Christmases.

It's got a weird beak. Not sure what to think of Magmortar though.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If magmorter had a longer beak and a design on it's stomach that wasn't really stupid looking, i'd like it

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Good old Magmar, doing duckface before it was cool.



Jokes aside, I knew it was partially based on a seabird (a duck), but not a booby. Those birds have more hooked beaks compared to a duck (which Magmar more resembles). The only clue towards that was its Japanese name Boober (or Magby's Japanese name Booby).

 

[Yellowlord]

Oh my god.... I got my Shiny Stufful after 58 eggs! It's so amazing!

Her name is Caution, an attempt to be punny with the word Beware.

The only few downsides are that the one bad IV she got was in Special Defense, but that can be fixed with either a Bottle Cap or an Assault Vest. In addition, she ended up getting Klutz as her ability, so I will need to get an Ability Capsule in order to make her viable.

He's got boobies on his head

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

TBH, plenty of Pokemon fans joked about his unfortunate Japanese name before. You can say his current expression represents how he feels about it.

"Why Game Freak, why did you give me such an embarrassing name in Japan?"

I feel sorry for Boo... eeerrr Magmar now.

 

[Mythra]

Getting a good natured Tapu Fini took me 5 attempts (2 ended with Struggle, kek) and a total of 111 Balls, some of them were Beast Balls because I was enjoying the challenge.

24/10 would Will 'O Wisp again.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If I worked at Pokémon Co. I would add a Lillie Plush to the line of dolls because that would print money.
