Happy birthday once again to The Daily Neopets. Absolutely fantastic website that has allowed me to meet absolutely fantastic people.

 

I wish you all, the staff and the community, the best!

Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong.

The courage it must have taken the crew to perform such a dangerous but inspiring task is astounding.

He most definitely reached for the stars and suceeded.

If given the choice between the two, I always lean a bit closer to Coca-Cola than I do with Pepsi. Mostly because I prefer the taste over Pepsi and also since it just feels more "traditional" to drink. I am not much of a soda drinker, though. In terms of company products, I like what the Coca-Cola Company has to offer over PepsiCo as well.

This is all probably a tad biased since the company I work for uses Coca-Cola dispensers. :P

9:00 A.M. is not that bad to begin with. But its really hard for people who live far away but not in dorms.

 

Ah, that is true. It's fortunate that I will be living in a dorm.

I know that students participating in football need to attend practice at six in the morning, which would particularly stink if you're not living on campus.

My earliest class this semester starts at 9 AM, which is something I totally am okay with!

I am a tad bummed about going back to the big ol' system of education but it's a brand new chapter for me, so it is hard to not be a bit excited.

Class officially starts for me on August 29, which means that summer is just about over for me as well.

Kind of exciting, though.

You cannot stop me, Morgan, for I am taking a trip down memory lane!

 

Goodness, is this thread really six years old? So much discussion has gone on throughout the years.

Perhaps I should make it a goal to read the entire thing. Only if I am extremely bored.

I'm certain that 'maths' is the right way of saying it. Not that I ever do it, of course. :P

Kinda disappointing only two colors will likely be available at launch... though I probably would have gotten black regardless.

Paper Mario pretty much sealed the deal for me to decide whether or not to buy a 3DS. That and maaaaaybe a new Metroid game is being hinted for a release. But Sakamoto pretty much tore a hole in the series and I hope that he doesn't ever touch the franchise again. Stupid Other M.

It's always nice to see this board still going strong, haha.

Snow tends to keep missing us for whatever reason despite it being in the forecast. We had some a week or so ago, but it melted within a few days. I'm hoping for this Sunday to bring some snow though.

Seems interesting nonetheless.

It's like the third 'Hey You Pikachu!' installment though.

Well, the new Pokemon are certainly interesting. Some of them are kinda unappealing to me while others are really awesome. I particularly love the new fossil Pokemon.

Anyone discuss how HMs should be Key Items that can be given to a Pokemon to hold temporarily while you sail past the obstacle?

Because that is how things should be done.

Howdy, Zac. It's been a while.

I can't remember the last time we discussed this plot? A year ago?

No, I think Bluerang hit the nail on the head to be honest. Here are several artist renditions of the new Pokmeon I found:

 

 

 

 

I'm certain those will be leaves on the tail of the slender Pokemon. And I got a feeling that we are going to have a fire pig as a starter.

Not sure how I feel about the silhouettes in general though. Guess we will have to wait for the official artwork.

 

Also, I highly believe there will be an option to bring out Pokemon and have them follow you. A couple of poor spriters had to sit there and make almost 500 overworld sprites of Pokemon, each with frames of animation. I would want them to be used in another game, ahah.

My guess would be iPhone. It's not an app itself though though.

You have to download "gameboy4iphone" and then download the Pokemon Crystal rom.

Or any other Game Boy rom, I suppose.

 

Of course, that is one way to do it. Not sure if there is another way...

There needs to be a Pokemon Stadium 3 or something. No, not that Battle Revolution thing.

Pokemon Black and White are alright names, although bland. Neat to see them return to the color titles again though (although black and white aren't really colors).

Pokemon Ebony and Ivory would have been interesting... Musical legendary Pokemon. :P

 

The "new" battle system interests me though. We finally are able to see the full backside of the Pokemon... perhaps more battle animations?

Words cannot describe how awesome of a person you are. Sounds a tad cliché, yes, but it is certainly true. I've been part of TDN since 2006 and plan on continuing it that way, especially with a site owner such as yourself. :) Happy Birthday Ian! Have a good one!

Pretty simple challenge for today. I beat AAA with a score of 1,000.

ASCII is really awesome, I'll tell you.

I thought the score was 850 while I was playing for some silly reason, so I continued past the actual score. :P

All in all, this challenge today was pretty simple and easy. :)
