Hey y'all!

[Guts]

Hey!

[Scytherwolf]

Hi and welcome to PXR! I also love drawing, and I'd love to see you post some of your art here! Also I've been to Washington DC but I was really little so I don't remember a ton of it.

Here's some me facts. xD

- I have an intense interest in dreams/lucid dreaming
- I'm a plushie maker and collector (though I don't collect one specific type)
- My favorite pokemon are Yanmega, Heracross, and Scyther
And also:
Centiskorch
- I am constantly thinking of stories, and writing is one of my favorite things
- I absolutely love bugs, as you can probably tell XD

[Scytherwolf]

Hi Scytherwolf!

Thank you for your kind welcome! That's cool that you've been to DC--please let me know if you're ever in the area! I find the fact that you can make plushies extremely impressive. I could never! I like bug types a lot, myself. My top 3 favorite bug types are Heracross, Volcarona, and Ninjask! My three favorite insects are dragonflies, stag beetles, and katydids. I'd love to check your your writing sometime!

Cheers,

Guts

Unfortunately I live really far away from DC, but I'd love to go back there someday! And those are great bug types! Dragonflies are my favorite insects, but I love so many of them! I do have a Pokemon story up here (the white growlithe picture in my signature links to it) if you want to read it sometime. ^^

Hey y'all, I'm Guts!

I was a member of the old Pokéstadium (username Palkialga24) from 2012 to 2015 and seeing as I was feeling nostalgic and (if I'm not mistaken) PXR absorbed Pokéstadium's successor, Poképavilion, I decided to join at the start of the new year. I was a little boy then and I'm a college student now, so, needless to say, the folks who remember me might find me changed, for better or for worse. At any rate, I'm sure I'll have a wonderful time here on PXR! I'm excited to get right into it!

For starters, here are some facts about me! If y'all are feeling up to it, please reply with a few facts about yourselves!

-I go to school in Washington, DC,
-I'm an only child
-My first language was Italian
-I was born in the Bay Area, California, I grew up in the South, and my mom is from Italy. I visit my family there every summer and winter
and eat lots of yummy food!
-My favorite Pokémon right now are 1. Serperior 2. Garchomp 3. Lapras
-My favorite Pokémon type is Flying
-My favorite Pokémon generations are IV and V
-Some of my hobbies are anime, reading, drawing, music critique, and grilling (keep your miltank and tauros away from me)
-My Showdown account is camomiletea if anyone wants to battle! (I'm really bad at it!)

Thank you for your time and please enjoy your day.

Yours,

Guts

Heya Guts! Welcome to PXR! Hope you find it awesome here as we all do. If you ever have any questions or just wanna talk. Feel free to ask us! I'm always willing to chat.

I actually got the chance to go to Washington DC in August for the Pokémon World Championship 2019. It was a total blast! I loved it! The experience in DC was...very different than expected though.

Few facts about myself:

-I live here in the US down in the south, but would rather be further up north. Leads into the next...
-I hate the heat
-my top 5 Pokémon are: 1. Pikachu, 2. Jirachi, 3. Celebi, 4. Manaphy 5. Victini....6 is just very very closely Scorbunny.
-another thing is I'd love to be able to travel the world. I have many friends spread across the globe and I think it'd be nice to meet everyone.

Hey Guts, welcome to PXR!

Some fun facts about myself:

- I majored in Business Marketing, but my job title is officially Associate Scientist. Get that.
- On the side, I do lots of graphic art work and started a webcomic last July. It's been a great ride!
- Favorite Pokémon are Emolga, Bellossom, and Cinccino.

Hey Guts, welcome to PXR!
It's nice to see a fellow Italian speaker here!
Have you ever tried using a Serperior with Contrary (hidden ability) and Leaf Storm in Pokemon battles?
My favorite Pokemon are Chikorita, Ralts, Wailmer, Turtwig, Spheal and many others. My favorite type is Grass and my favorite region is Sinnoh. I'm a shiny hunter and I also enjoy Showdown battles every now and then.
I hope you will have fun here! :D

Hello and welcome to PXR Guts! It's nice to meet you - Thanks for sharing some cool facts about yourself!

I'm a random visitor here and tend to pop up from time to time. Way back I was a member of the old PE2K forum and have many fond memories of it. Anyways, I hope you will enjoy your stay here!

Facts about me:

- I work as full-time Playground Designer and Illustrator which is really fun
- My biggest passion by far is drawing, but I also enjoy taking walks and playing video games
- I love animals and would love to own a cat someday (but my fish keep me company, haha)
- My favorite Gens would have to be Gen III, V, and VI
- My favorite pokémon... ooo, that's a tough one! Totodile definitely holds a special place in my heart since it was my first ever pokémon, but I also love Cyndaquil, Dragonite, Sylveon and the new pokémon Frosmoth

Thank you very much for your kind welcome! I'm glad to hear that you had fun at the 2019 Championships but I'm sorry if your experience in DC was disappointing in any way! I enjoyed my stay in the South when I lived there but I have to agree that the heat was atrocious! Excellent and very classic favorite mons! Travel is really wonderful--obtaining new experiences always beats obtaining new possessions.

Thanks again and cheers,

Guts

Hi Neo Emolga! Thank you for your response! Go figure about your job title! Today's labor world is certainly unpredictable! I'd love to read your webcomic--if you don't mind my asking, could you send me a link? Bellossom has always seemed like an interesting Pokémon to me--it gives me Politoed vibes if that makes sense.

Best,

Guts

Hi TH24, it's very nice to meet you as well :)

Your professions and interests seem really diverse and well-rounded, and seeing as your artwork is seriously phenomenal, it's wild that you have so many talents on top of your draftsmanship! I have two cats named Sushi and Baguette at my parents' house. Totodile is my favorite Johto starter as well and Frosmoth stood out to me as a cool new mon too!

I hope to see you around the forum,

Guts

Che bello! Non mi aspettavo di trovare un altro Italiano qui! Di dov'è tua famiglia? I have! Serperior with contrary is one of my favorite sets for a Pokémon! I like spheal a lot since it's adorable and seals are my favorite animal. Shiny hunting is rough, so I commend you for making it a hobby! I'm sure I will have a wonderful time here--thank you!

Cordialmente,

Guts

Sono nata a Milano e ho abitato lì fino al 2009, ma la mia famiglia italiana è di Sicilia. Di dov'è la tua famiglia?

(Translation for people who don't understand Italian : I was born in Milan and I lived there until 2009, but my Italian family is from Sicily. Where is your family from?)

Thank you for your kind message! See you around the forum! :)

Thank you for your kind welcome! That's exciting about your book--what was it called? I admire those working in politics! It takes a lot to put yourself out there. If you do move back to DC, please let me know!

Best,

Grandioso--la mia famiglia è di Bergamo. C'è veramente poca gente Bergamasca negli Stati Uniti, quindi mi sento spesso uno straniero anche fra gli Italoamericani! L'altro giorno, io i miei genitori siamo andati a Milano e come sai meglio di me, la Sicilia è bellissima.

English:
Wonderful! My family is from Bergamo. There are hardly any Bergamasque people in the US, so I often feel like a foreigner even among Italian-Americans! The other day, my parents and I went to Milan, and as you know better than I do, Sicily is beautiful.

I look forward to seeing you around the forum :)

The book is called Timmy the Mouse: Princess in Peril (https://www.amazon.com/Timmy-Mouse-Princess-Sloane-Perkins/dp/1941069320). It never went big or anything but I plan to publish more in the future if I can.

Yeah, it's crazy! Although even though I'm in Biosurgery research and development, I might try to see if I can guide the career path toward something in marketing. I have been getting valuable brand experience and such, so it's a possibility. I've only done a tiny bit of lab work, most of my specialty is in documentation and product lifecycle management databases. It's a little dry, but I'm good at it and most of the other people in the department aren't too crazy about working in the PLM environment whereas I know my way around it just fine.

Hey, glad to you know you're interested in the webcomic! It's called Team Buckshot and you can find it in multiple spots:

Right here on PXR! (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?23393-Pok%E9mon-Team-Buckshot-M)
Comic Fury site (https://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=teambuckshot)
DeviantArt (some pages need the Mature filter turned off) (https://www.deviantart.com/avengerseraph/gallery/71348703/team-buckshot-pages)

I would say read it on PXR or Comic Fury. Trying to keep it organized and in order on DeviantArt is a pain in the neck. And yes, the comic features a Bellossom and a Cinccino as two of the main characters. I have intentions for an Emolga character to show up later, but he'll be more of a supporting character and not in the main crew.

I like Bellossom a lot. It started off with me being silly and thinking "heh, a flower hula dancing Pokemon. Priceless. I'll raise one to level 100 and kick everyone's butts with it just for comical funsies." Even though Bellossom may not be taken seriously on a competitive battling arena (unless major changes were made), its still a fun Pokemon to battle with and hey, there's more to Pokemon than just battles (plus hey, the one I raised in Shield did great so I'm still a believer!). Plus Bellossom always seems happy, optimistic, and expressive and I like those qualities.

Well we didn't enjoy it as much as the year before in Nashville was all. The statements on the website for the hotel weren't totally accurate. They had parking as stated, but it wasn't "free." They had ONLY Vallet (which was not stated). Would've ended up charging us another $600 by the end of the trip pretty much. The food and sites were wonderful though! Just a bit pricey.

Back in college I had a classmate tell me from his travels. Where we live (referring to him and myself) it's the second worst humidity wise. Which only makes everything much worse. I'd love to get away from this heat. Maybe one day I can get lucky enough. =)

Hullo Guts, welcome to PXR and enjoy your five-star stay!

Excellent! I took a look at it on Amazon. If I ever have kids, I will be sure to read it to them!

It certainly seems like you have an edge on your colleagues with your experience! Whichever path you decide to take, I'm sure it will be the perfect one for you :) Thank you for the links to your comic! I think I'll end up reading it on PXR. And I hate that I'm making this accidental rhyme but Bellossom is awesome.

Nashville is awesome (maybe I'm biased because I grew up in Tennessee) and it definitely beats out DC in my eyes! And Jeez! they really robbed you! I'm sorry to hear about the parking situation!

I'm sure someday you will have the chance to beat the heat :)
