[D] How you like me now?

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?


Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

Roller coasters in Gyms? Walking forward into a gaping chasm trusting only the wind to keep you alive? Getting shot out of cannons with no prior training? Who came up with half this stuff and where do we sign up.

Soooo, he wants an epic battle between heroes yet still wants to stack the odds in his favor. Haha. We're onto you, N. I don't mind though; he did leave us with Reshiram and all, since I have Black.

I always thought of White as a more cynical game because of the fact that if he has Zekrom, he's just dreaming ambitiously and trying to make his perceived ideal a reality while we defend the truth. If he has Reshiram, though, then we're the hopeless dreamers instead and he's the one preaching the ugly truth no one wants to believe. Course, in either case, it isn't as if ideals are portrayed as impossible to realise, but still.

There's not one safety regulation and that's the way they like it.

He left me with Zekrom, since I played through White. I like the big guy! Reshiram scares me. It kind of goes into that balance factor, you know? He should've thought about taking the losing dragon instead.

Oh no, that's so awful! In a good way, I mean, that's really good thinking! In Black, his ideal world is one where Pokémon and humans are split, where the truth is that they're best together; in White, the truth is that all humans do is hurt and use Pokémon without their input and our ideal world has them working together. So it's pretty bad both ways: We crush a dream or we cover up the truth. Just like the America it's based on. You're a nice anon to talk to.

Just think of the lawsuits. ...then again Pokeverse.

I like em both, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't biased toward Reshiram. And yeah, that the game makes a point of keeping balance even while we're discussing/arguing issues framed in black and white (N mentioning that he hates greys, if not specifically in this context) is pretty neat. Hurrah for Tao Trio.

imsorryididntmeantomakethisawful it was just a nagging thought! Aaaah, and I can say the same re: the being nice to talk to thing, minus the anon part since. Well. It was fun being able to babble silly ridiculous things to someone! I wonder if I should out myself as one of the other people who've responded to this roll call.

Pokéverse has a whole set of laws all its own... As long as no one dies from it, they're fine.

It's one of my favorite gens for that reason! Posing a difficult argument like that to seasoned players, who have no doubts in their minds about the love they have for the teams who brought them through so many challenges, and making them think about the implications of simply catching any Pokémon that catches our eye, I think it's a really fascinating thing. Though, I have a tendency to put too much thought into things...

Oh no I love really awfully good nagging thoughts like that!! I have those sort of thoughts when I'm about to go to bed and then I want to tell someone really badly! I figured you would be one, but since I don't know but a few people on this list oocly I can't even begin to pinpoint who you are!

"No one's died yet!"; is that the rule we're operating on now? ...Well, I suppose they have their own standards of safety. You'd think more trainers would be complaining of concussion after Skyla's Gym, though.

Dooooon't worry, I have a tendency to do the same. And subsequently tl;dr about it. I thoroughly enjoyed Gen V when I played through it at release, but didn't actually look as deeply into things as I am now. It's making for quite an interesting rediscovery of the region! Generation. ...Region.

It's those sorts of thoughts that make me really glad I know someone who's always up as late as I am and willingly suffers through all the sleep-deprived rambling I bounce at them. Aah, you wouldn't have known me anyway- I keep to myself mostly and this is actually my first time poking my head into the Pokemon fandom... Actually, hang on-

-no real point in maintaining my anonymity by this point, save for trying to be a mysterious, nameless, ridiculous person spouting silly tl;dr rather than just a ridiculous person (spouting silly tl;dr).
