SPPF Time Out Chat 2: Electric Bugaloo

[Extroph]

I noticed that!
I think your team theme is pretty cool!

Haha thanks But it's kinda limiting since I also like Bug types... But once I get all 12 (this'll take a while) I'll get any Poke I wantz >: D

[-Hayward-]

>Team Theme?
Does themeless count as a theme? Like most everyone else, my team is who I like and includes a diversity of types and some uncommon Pokemon known for their tenacity and reluctance to give up.

[Balmund]

My team is mostly dragon and other reptilian Pokémon, which also happens to fit the theme of "Pokémon I Like". Slowly, I'm finding myself integrating Bug-type Pokémon in there somehow. Dunno why, I like Bugs but I never thought I'd invest so much room to them. xD

[Azran Flame]

Does your team have a team (theme)?

Well, I'm planning on getting my hands on any cute Pokémon whose types are Fire-, Dragon-, or Dark-, because they're my three favourite types. By some stroke of luck I somehow got the of my favourite Pokémon on my team, not including my starter (Topaz the Swablu, Serafina the Houndour, and Malfoy the Poochyena) - I got my Numel, Maria, not because it was exactly cute (sorry Maria ;_, but because I had a Camerupt in Diamond named Maria which I used all the time (I lost it loooooong ago), so I kinda got nostalgic about a thing that happened three years ago. XD

*points up* What she said.
I've gone from being here pretty much 24/7 to only being able to check in once or twice a week. I'm now making extra effort to check in daily but I still work at least one 16 hour day a week with a couple of 12 hour days thrown in. Activity is increasing around here, productivity is increasing, and as we all struggle to keep up with the new pace we'll settle into a pattern. We'll have our ups and downs but we always triumph in the end. FB always has and I, for one, am not about to give up on it. I love FB, as do many of us "oldies", and we're going to do our best not to let anyone down *nodnod*

*rips open a bag of Milotic plushies (who for those of you who are not aware is FB's official mascot) and throws them around the Time Out* Better nab yours before they're all gone!

*skips off down the path whistling a happy tune*

Hear, hear. I love FB and always will (despite my occasional respites ^^; ). I hope to see it continue into the far future, and am willing to work to help make that happen. <3

Hope it's not too late for me to grab a Milotic plushie. *yoinks anyway* I had no idea it was the mascot. =O What's the story behind that?

Does your team have a team (theme)?

None. Mostly Pokémon I like/whatever comes my way. Allishinca's theme reminded me of the idea I had for a Drifloon team of all colors of the rainbow, based on the Organization I submitted for a contest. Would be fun to fly around on all over FB~

*now whims for Drifloon more than ever*

Plushie! =D *grabs*

Yeah, why is Milotic FB's mascot?

I seem to have joined around the time activity spiked up again, or shortly prior to it, but I never thought an RP so heavily dependent on a few people would hold together so well. I can only thank the commitment of FB's staff, and hope they don't lose their enthusiasm and dedication any time soon!

And if need be, like other people have suggested, you could consider recruiting new people for mod jobs, I've seen a lot of "veteran" active members around here that I'm sure would be up for the task!

[Missingno. Master]

Wait a minute... I C/P'd the following from the FAQ thread;

Q: Does FB have a mascot?
A: Not right now.

So when did this change? I was hoping there'd be a contest to determine the FB mascot, I would've pushed for Weezing or Qwilfish.

[Dark Searchman]

I guess Tess made Milotic the mascot then. She's the boss around here! :P

[Arc_Angel]

Team Theme:
Ghosts, ghosts and more ghosts =3
Plus some other mad and wild Pokemon that I lurve

I love stuffed animals! (My room is covered in them and I'm a teenage boy) *Takes Milotic plushie*

If I were to have a team theme it would probably bug and maybe eventually dragon. My two favorite types! Bugs are just sooooooo coool!

[Itzatrap]

@MarbleZone:
I feel awful for laughing at your question in the FAQ, partly because I imagine a trainer asking their Pineco to Self-Destuct and then being all like, "Pineco, are you all right?" ;.; *No response*, and also because it reminded me of this comic:

*shrugs* Fair enough, I guess. I knew that if there was going to be a mascot, it was probably going to be a Water-type, given that FB apparently started as just an RPG for Water Pokémon.

I love stuffed animals! (My room is covered in them and I'm a teenage boy)

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I got stuffed animals all over my room. Mainly Pokémon plushes, though. Not all Poison-types, though my favorites have got to be my plush Koffing and Trubbish.

[Monster Guy]

I considered buying a Munna plushie IRL, but I'm not willing to spend $20.00 for it. :/

I love plushies!! Being a girl, I used to get them all the time growing up. My big, squishy plush Gengar is my favorite, since he's so big and snuggly. I also have smaller plushes of Drifloon, Duskull, Magikarp, Cherrim, Zubat, Mystery Dungeon Charmander and Lickilicky. I'm pretty good at crane games, which is how I got Zubat and Lickilicky. Also, my friend made me a plush Haunter for one of my birthdays. :3

[jolteonjak]

OMG...there's a Drifloon plushie?

[YDT]

Oh, I don't have any Pokemon plushies, that would be really cool. All I have are real animal plushies, still adorable though. I'd probably want a Lillipup, dratini or ralts plushie ( do those even exist?). I'd also want to get a Yoshi and tails to go along with my Diddy Kong. But yeah Pokemon plushies would be way more awesome.

[OkikuMew]

Plushies, gotta love them! I got... *counts around the room* ...countless of them in my room XD But there's 7 pokémon-themed ones, including two Mews: One life-sized and the other pokédoll form/sized :3

[Marion Ette]

OMG...there's a Drifloon plushie?

There is! I bought it a few years ago, back when Diamond and Pearl first came out. I'm having a hard time finding the Jakk's Pacific one online for under $60 USD, but there's a person on Etsy making them for only $10 USD, and they look just as cute. :3

Dratini seems to be going for at least $34... T_T On the bright side, there are lots of Lillipup, and there's a relatively cheap Ralts.

They cost 20 bucks where you are? D: I have one I got at my local Target for only $6.

Haha, I have tons of plushes~~ Partially because my mom used to collect Beanie Babies and I kinda continued where she left off, which eventually led to collecting Pokémon plushes and just stuffed animals in general. :3

Looking at the top of the pile I have in a corner of my room I can see a Torkoal, Minun, Chatot, Pignite, Aipom, Tentacool, Skitty, Chimchar, Glaceon, Bonsly, Celebi, Tepig, Munna, Zorua, Scragy, Dewott, Sandile, Snivy, two different Burmy formes, Wobbuffet, Pachirisu, Corphish, Manaphy, Phione... and a whole lot more under that :D;;

[uhhhhh]

I considered buying a Munna plushie IRL, but I'm not willing to spend $20.00 for it. :/

Well, I saw one near my school where they were actually selling it for only 85 pesos (that's roughly $2) I also have some plushies still with me, my most recent one being an Oshawott. Naturally, I also have an Aipom and Ambipom plushie. XD
