Gen. Empoleon's Well: Genny~~

[Matthew]

After starting up your PC, in what order do you open PO/Smogon/IRC or is it random?

Well most usually when I start up my PC I head straight to Youtube to watch Let's Plays. I love watching the for some really dumb trivial reason, mostly because I don't have a working xbox (besides netflix) anymore and my PC seems to like to overheat when I play games during the summer, so I get my video game fix through Let's Plays. I normally watch an hour or so before heading over to Smogon to check out DST, see if my ship is running smoothly, etc. Now for PO, if I feel like I need to battle / mod the chat I won't open IRC at all and just go straight for PO. Spend some time there, see if I can move the chat in a positive way. If I don't really feel like it I go on IRC to chat in #dreamworld and other channels and just hang out. Occasionally I do both, but it's always such a hassle to manage two chat services.

So I guess the order would be:
Smogon - PO - Xchat
or
Smogon - Xchat
or
Smogon - Xchat + PO

Okay I don't have any questions but you should be seriously ashamed that your top 10 albums has something by ke$ha and nothing by the Beatles.

I absolutely don't like the Beatles in anyway, shape, or form. There music drives me absolutely crazy. I know, I know, this guy is an idiot what the fuck. I can't listen to the Beatles and enjoy myself ever, it's the same way with electronic music actually. I guess because my mother played it every single day when I was a kid, and my dislike of my mother as a whole, probably made me not like it as much as I probably would if I didn't listen to it every day when I was a kid.

When will you be flying to NZ with various smogoners?

If you do I will promise we will drive to Fatecrashers + get drunkmonlee.

And P.S. dude is the P90X for when we fisticuff you won't get shattered?

P.P.S. Biochem is haaarrrrdddd and labwork is tedious.

I don't know, when I have a few thousand dollars spare and a couple weeks off. I do want to go see you NZ + aussie nerds, so I mean that's up there on my list of things to do. But tickets over there are super fucking expensive, and going by boat would take forever and probably be more expensive. So...... basically it's, "when I have enough money to go I will go."

I want to get drunk with Fatecrashers I want to get drunk with Fatecrashers. I want him to sketch me while being drunk, that'd be funny.

p90x was because Jabba asked me to do it with him because he needed a workout buddy, so I offered and it was pretty awesome overall, hopefully I'll find time to do it while in college but iono!

posting to say i agree with vader and also moon & antarctica is the best modest mouse album js

Agree all you want Ke$ha is good, guys. Also M&A is great, yeah, but it's nothing compared to Lonesome Crowded West. That album is practically perfect and I'm amazed that more people are not here to agree with me @. @

Opinions on Coldplay?

idk i can't think of anything to ask you ;3

I don't like Coldplay.
This doesn't deserve a long answer

was mildly furious at not being included in both lists, but according to tennisace I am his twin so I guess this is acceptable.

I don't really have any questions for you either cause I could just ask you anytime and I'm too tired to troll you or think of something vaguely sexual so come back to me I guess...


oh wait! Favorite arc of one piece? character? saddest past in your opinion? what do you think will happen next week?

:* kisses

Favorite Arc in OP is for sure Sky Island. Yeah I know Aldaron and you disagree but you guys also think that Franky looks cool post-war so you lose your opinions on arguing that! But Sky Island has the one flash back that I absolutely did not hate, and it introduced classes within the Devil Fruits, which would have been brought up eventually, but I liked that it was brought up with Luffy vs Enel than anyone else. Enel was the perfect enemy for Luffy to get more comfortable battling Logias and everything. The best OP character? Easy. Sanji is the coolest character in OP, you can even tell that by this most recent chapter. That was really super bad ass and I'm glad Oda wrote that into it. Sanji is the only character I really connect to (despite my love of Chopper), though I feel like I like him the most because he's the cook (last name is Cook) and he smokes (:OOO), plus he's super suave and cool as fuck. Zoro is cool as fuck but he's less suave so.........

Oh man
saddest part in OP is Chopper's background. Chopper's story is heart-breaking and guh I can't even write about it because it's so sad :(

Next week in One Piece:
Luffy beats ass, sanji beats ass, robin has a big forehead, chopper remains useless still, nami beats some ass, franky remains fucking stupid, Zoro beats some ass, and Brooke plays some music.

Yep! It was me. And I wholeheartedly agree, The Lonesome Crowded West is MM best album, bar none.

You are a scholar

Years ago you told me you were going to quit smoking but I don't think you did? Tell me what stopped you etc. What was it like?

I quit smoking because Sara was concerned about how much I was doing it and she didn't like to kiss me after I just had a cigarette. So she asked me to quit and I did. So for about 7 months, until she broke up with me, I went cigarette-less and that was probably one of the hardest experiences I have ever done. Quitting isn't easy, no one will say it is, but quitting is the hardest things I've ever done. The first week you have a headache that you can't get rid of and you're just angry. The second week the headache is a little better but you're more angry than you were before. Third week everything is a bit better, and by the end of the third week you're no longer physically addicted. I say physically addicted because it's still a huge mental thing. Bad day? Light up! Post sex? Light up! At a concert? Light up! It plays a bigger role in your life than anyone will actually give it credit for and that's where it honestly gets you. Most people chew gum to fill the hole left by quitting -- I never found that effective.

Anyway I started smoking again after Sara broke up with me and that was fine, I was sad, I wanted a smoke, so I got myself one. She now realizes that it's something she has to live with while being in a relationship with me, so her only rule is, "no kissing for ten minutes after you smoke." Which, honestly, is a perfectly fine rule for me. She doesn't mind it now, so I guess I have no reason to quit at this moment.

re: question

largest regret aside from the stuff listed in the op

why is the general tone of this well overwhelmingly positive, nobody is even asking (or knows) about your darker side [not darkie side]

 

[Darkaxis]

Ok I will give it another try :D

1.If you could date and smogonite who would that be?

2.What was the most hilarious memory from playing pokemon?

3.If you could kill Smogonite whoo would that be?

Who is your best friend? (in Smogon and in Real life)

 

[firecape]

I do not wear sunglasses indoors. A little known fact for everyone currently here: if you wear sunglasses indoors you are the biggest douchebag to roam the plant Earth and should be beaten with clubs.

What if I wear sunglasses indoors because my sunglasses lenses are the same "prescription" as my regular glasses and I don't feel like carrying 2 glasses cases in my pocket. Am I still a douchebag :(

Sorry if these were already asked but I doubt it:

what was your first contribution [attempt] on smogon

When are you coming to MA to meet up with me and others

why does tennisace want

<&tennisace> more dicks

so much

why is the general tone of this well overwhelmingly positive, nobody is even asking (or knows) about your darker side [not darkie side]

Explain your "darker side"

hey are you coming to new york in the near future? i'm into meeting smogoners now !_!

[askaninjask]

I know it's not a period of time that you want to relive, but were there any moments from being the king of shoddy battle trolls that were good/memorable/funny?

also goddamn we must meet up at some point

 

[Fireburn]

Hello!

Do you think you should try to quit smoking after becoming a doctor?

What are your religious beliefs?

What is your least favorite Pokemon and why?

Do you think you will ever get back into Ubers?

Will you ever write another warstory?

Have you seen Cowboys vs Aliens? If so, what was your opinion on it?

Am I asking too many questions? :(

If you had to choose between me and firecape, which would you pick as the strongest fire user?

 

[Shining_Latios]

Whos your favorite Pokemon?

 

[Matthew]

Ok I will give it another try :D

1.If you could date and smogonite who would that be?

2.What was the most hilarious memory from playing pokemon?

3.If you could kill Smogonite whoo would that be?

Who is your best friend? (in Smogon and in Real life)

I'm not sure who I'd actually date in all honesty. I mean there's quite a few attractive ladies on here (and men too but i mean), but I've only met one person from Smogon in person, so I mean there's a lot that you gain from meeting someone online as opposed to in person. Matty was absolutely nothing like I expected him to be, but that was okay, he's a cool guy regardless. People's online identities are a lot different than their actual personality, so I'd need to meet someone before I'd actually give them the option to be my girlfriend.

Uh hilarious.... I guess it was 5-0ing Kevin Garrett in 4th Gen by using a team whose defensive core was Rest Talk Gyarados, SpDef Plume Tran, and Rapid Spin Claydol. That was actually my best team I ever made, and it was one baller team, let me tell you!

I probably wouldn't kill any Smogonite as they really haven't done anything to me. I mean I guess if they wronged me, like running over an animal of some nature that I owned, then they would be on my metaphorical hit list, but no one has done such an act, so I mean I wouldn't kill anyone.

My best friend outside of Smogon is a wonderful woman named Gigi. She's the best friend I could ask for and we basically do everything together, it's awesome. I wanted to go with the cute answer of, "Sara is my best friend," but I felt that was a little too cliche. Sara is up there, but your girlfriend cannot be your best friend, that's not how it works!

My best friend in Smogon is either Tennisace or Matty. Matty because he's the only Smogon member that I hang out with and do whatever with on a regular basis, and Tennis has been my bff for as long as I can remember. d

What if I wear sunglasses indoors because my sunglasses lenses are the same "prescription" as my regular glasses and I don't feel like carrying 2 glasses cases in my pocket. Am I still a douchebag :(

Sorry if these were already asked but I doubt it:

what was your first contribution [attempt] on smogon

When are you coming to MA to meet up with me and others

why does tennisace want so much



Explain your "darker side"

Firecape you should basically know at this point is you're always a douchebag and should stop trying to avoid this fact and just accept you for who you are.

My first contribution to Smogon was the might UberSect analysis that has been struck down by the unjust hand that is Great Sage. It was on-site for quite a while but then Jibaku took a vendetta against it for some reason and Great Sage followed in-key. Jibaku has tried to make up for his wrong-doings by trying to put it back up, but alas, Great Sage for unknown reasons refuses to keep it up, some BS if you ask me.

Like with the MD question it comes down to time and money. If I have spare money and spare time I'll more than happily come down to see you guys, but unfortunately both are scarce at the moment and I have no idea as to when I'll really be free. So I'm pretty bummed about that actually.

Tennisace loves my penis.

I'm sure the "darker side" which he is referring to is my dealings with my friend's father's loss at matters like that. I expect that people don't really want to hear about sad things while reading a well, so you might as well avoid something you don't want to talk about or something you see as, "too personal." I can understand that so I mean it's whatever. People can ask what they want about me, I'm an open book really.

Sorry I'm not a stoner or some person who was born when the Beatles were actually cool!!

Also no, Firecape is the worst and swallows more than anyone else, ever.

I know it's not a period of time that you want to relive, but were there any moments from being the king of shoddy battle trolls that were good/memorable/funny?

also goddamn we must meet up at some point

No there's no points at that point that I want to relive. All of it was stupid when I think about it and I mean it's just ugggghhhhhhh, how could I be that stupid at that time? Man I still feel dumb when I even think about how dumb I used to be, thankfully I've grown out of that phase and that's all I can be thankful for at this moment. I try to not live in the past, ever, but there's a few things which I think I was an idiot for doing and cannot do anything but regret it.

Hello!

Do you think you should try to quit smoking after becoming a doctor?

What are your religious beliefs?

What is your least favorite Pokemon and why?

Do you think you will ever get back into Ubers?

Will you ever write another warstory?

Have you seen Cowboys vs Aliens? If so, what was your opinion on it?

Am I asking too many questions? :(

If you had to choose between me and firecape, which would you pick as the strongest fire user?

I'm probably going to quick smoking before I get into med school, that seems like the perfect time for me and that's what my current plan is. Any later and I feel like the damage which I have done to my body will be more than it would already be. So, no, I don't plan on quitting after I become a doctor, before I become a doctor for sure.

As stupid as it is for me to say, I'm not religious but I'd put myself more as spiritual. I love religion as a subject, in fact I'm minoring in it, but otherwise it's just so dumb. So many things in so many texts which I can't believe an all-powerful being would make people do. So many clashing views, so many wrongful things said in the bible are absolutely ridiculous. Even the Koran is dumb in places. If there is a God, then he exists in the 4th dimension probably. A place for time. He would be able to see everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen all at once and He can actually make no impact in the world, merely watch it. That's probably the most God-like thing I can fathom.

I refuse to get into Ubers as Arceus is completely fucking stupid and I refuse to play in a tier that has Arceus so nope!!

I've actually been wanting to write another warstory for some time now, but I haven't had a really great battle to story for some time. I mostly just keep control of the game and win or don't have any control and lose. That's the main problem with BW, games are very one-sided often, but I mean maybe it's just because I'm pretty good but there's still quite a few people that are better at playing / team building than I am, which is completely reasonable.

Cowboys and Aliens was actually pretty worth my money. Only one or two parts was stupid as fuck. If you haven't seen it yet I say you should, since it is actually pretty worthwhile to see some cowboys fight some aliens. Cowboys were the coolest people to ever live. I absolutely love them.

Naw you're fine.

Neither of you two are strong, actually, the only strong fire user is the original, Firestorm. If you two ever want to become stronger you're going to have to merge together to become Firecapestorm or Firefirestorm.

Whos your favorite Pokemon?

Probably Parasect or Solrock, for reasons I've already explained in this thread

6.What poke has been with you the longest?

I was trying to get with her friend, actually, but I realized that I wasn't honestly into her friend at all, so I just kinda gave up and started hanging out with Sara a lot. We then became "hook-up friends," but I realized I started to have feelings for this girl -- so I kinda just ended up admitting it to her and she felt the same way, so we just started dating and it was awesome.

High school was pretty good I guess. I made some of the best friends I could have made and I met Sara through it. I hopefully the relationships I made in high school will continue through college and the rest of my life. I'm scared that I'm going to lose contact but that's kind of how life actually is so I'm kinda preparing myself for it but hoping it doesn't end up like that.

I started smoking in 10th grade, or sophomore year. I already told this story but it wasn't early and it wasn't late.

I was complaining on IRC one day about how no one from Smogon lives in Boulder and then some people told me user: Matty and Obi lived around the area. So I tried to meet up with both of them, I was pretty young at the time. I was pretty awkward meeting Matty, I'm glad he gave me another chance like two years later! I still haven't met Obi but I'm going to stalk around my college campus until I find him.

Hipster bullshit

If you mean avatar wise I think this Solrock has been the longest I've had one. I mean sure it's the second Solrock that fatecrashers has drawn for me, but I mean I'm it's kinda the same thing.

New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, or Washington, DC?

And where will we consummate?

The real question is: When are we going to Eiffel Tower a girl together, that sounds awesome to me.

If you're asking which place I like more I've only been to New York so I guess New York is the place for me -- but I really do want to go to some other places in the US, the amount of places I have been in the US is surprisingly. I want to go to New Mexico to visit because apparently they have very delicious food.

If you could describe yourself in three words, what would the three words be?

@. @

the old exotic or the new blonde

I think this is the old exotic -- I'm not sure who the new blonde is, unless you mean Matty's roommate which it is not!

you already answered all my questions, why did you write such a detailed OP

I don't know so maybe we can get rid of the stupid boring questions that get asked in every well ever? I hate how most well threads the user is either not descriptive in his answers nor in his OP about him/herself. People are asking about you on an extremely personal level, I feel like they should know about you on a fairly solid level before they even start asking questions.

when was the last time you cried

do you feel ashamed when you lie

would you prefer sun after a rainfall, or a blanket of snow after a huge snowstorm

Last time I cried I think was...... when Sara broke up with me. I mean I was a fucking mess so I mean that was pretty awful actually way to bring that up wickdaggler. I was crying like on the street as she left and it was ugh. Fuck

I feel very, very ashamed when I lie. I'm a terrible liar too, I can't make eye-contact or I have this big goofy smile / grimace on my face. Or I burst out laughing. Either way lying isn't something that comes naturally to me I guess, and I mean I guess that's kinda a good thing?

blanket of snow. I like cold, dreary days. Sunshine after a rainstorm ruins the rainstorm completely for me. I want it raining all day and all night then I wake up in the morning to puddles. Snow is often like that except replace rain with snow and puddles with a blanket. Plus I get to wear some pretty awesome clothing when it's snowing and cold outside so I always have that to look forward to I guess.

 

[Darkaxis]

ok last set of questions(I need this so I can stalk you better)

1.Are you still with Sara?

2.If you were to choose between a boat full of pizza OR be in an island full of girls waiting to make them feel alive?Which on will you choose

3.If EVER wanted to relieve a moment in your life what would that moment be?

and last but not least......

4.Would you kiss a man for 1,000,000 OR Kiss a dirty trashed and dead pig for 1,000 dollars?

hi it is me matt

yes, the latter, takling to az for the first time, the former

your girlfriend cannot be your best friend, that's not how it works!

In your experience/opinion, what happens to a relationship if you try this?

Also, do you still play Random Wifi?

Finally, what are your feelings on emoticons?

 

[Smith]

Do you think Smogon has any misconceptions against you? If so, can you clear them up?

We actually have pretty similar taste in music, so have you ever listened to Ra Ra Riot or The Smiths?

Why do you wear skinny jeans when they crunch your testicles?

I almost asked what your favourite starter was before I realized that was probably a dumb question.

 

[Woodchuck]

Finally, what are your feelings on emoticons?

9.9 in particular

also what question to you want asked most

4.Would you kiss a man for 1,000,000 OR Kiss a dirty trashed and dead pig for 1,000 dollars?

Yes I am still with Sara and we're both happy in our current relationship.

I work at a pizza place, so pizza itself has become rather unappetizing to me. It's just grease and cheese at this point with the occasional vegetable. I'd much rather eat some fajitas or a salad -- but I'm probably alone on that one since pizza is the ultimate internet-man's food. So I guess, between the two options you gave me, I'd have to pick the island of women, however, in this world where this situation existed I'm not dating Sara as I don't want to cheat.

I would want to relive the time where I first got with Sara. That was such an awesome, magical day. It's like the best day ever that I've experienced.

I would kiss the man.

hi it is me matt

yes, the latter, takling to az for the first time, the former

Az, baby, my sweet. Let's go grab a pint.

I hope to gain some experience points by posting in somebody important's Well. XD


In your experience/opinion, what happens to a relationship if you try this?

Also, do you still play Random Wifi?

Finally, what are your feelings on emoticons?

Normally what happens when you get into a relationship like that it ends up with you two being super attached to one another and not giving each other personal space -- you also kind of run out of things to talk about, but in the famous words of Mia, "that's when you know you've found somebody special. When you both can shut the fuck up and enjoy the silence." I may have not quoted that exactly right, so shut up Pulp Fiction pros. The message is still there. For a good relationship you need to trust your partner and you need to be able to do your own things without really being concerned about what your partner is doing, or at least that's how I see it. Being married is totally different though, you want your wife to be your best friend in that situation :3

I don't even own a DS I'm not sure where you're getting the idea I've ever played Random WiFi at.

I don't know, they're pretty awesome because they can add certain emphasis on how you're typing. My favorite one to do is @. @ because it's just so universal, you can use it in almost any situation and it works. So that's like pretty awesome. I'm sick of 9.9 though. It doesn't even make sense!!

Do you think Smogon has any misconceptions against you? If so, can you clear them up?

We actually have pretty similar taste in music, so have you ever listened to Ra Ra Riot or The Smiths?

Why do you wear skinny jeans when they crunch your testicles?

I almost asked what your favourite starter was before I realized that was probably a dumb question.

I don't know. I guess the fact that I'm not a girl???? I know most people didn't ever believe that but there's been a few situations where I have been asked about my feminine charms. So I guess, yeah, I'm not a girl guys @. @

Yeah no The Smiths and Ra Ra Riot are awesome. I can't believe I forgot them on my music list actually. How silly of me!!!

Skinny jeans are amazing -- they're comfortable and they show off my wonderful butt and legs! plus I look really cool in them and they go with like basically every kind of article of clothing I could ask for. Give 'em a try sometime, you probably won't be disappointed actually.

My favorite starter is actually Turtwig, it's super cute and it's a turtle and it's a Grass-type. Grass- and Bug-type pokemon are my favorite types and usually all of them are super awesome totally sweet. Plus it evolves into a giant turtle with a mother fucking tree on its back. Ground/Grass typing is also really fucking sweet too.

9.9 in particular

also what question to you want asked most

I've expressed my views on 9.9 but I really have to say that it's just an 'eh' visual aid completely. It comes off as like "hahaha.... what?" instead of eye-rolling or whatever it's going to be. That's why I prefer @. @ because it pretty much covers all of my emotional bases when I'm on IRC. So that's always fun
