Yes, it has. How have you been?

Doing fine, looking forward to Pokemon DLC, and can't wait to play as Byleth in Smash.

I agree with you there. I am excited for the DLC, partly because some of my more used Pokémon have already been confirmed to be returning.
I am also looking forward to Byleth.

Yeah, I understand that. Something always is missing.
I tend not to do that sort of thing for legendaries unless I plan on using them in battles.

Yeah, I do. Need the dex entry or something?

That sounds good, even though I have two Gigantamax Centiskorches (including one I caught myself less than half an hour ago lol).

You're making this harder, ha ha.

I got lucky. Twice I guess. lol.

I chose Shield for my main game. I am saving Sword for Christmas. You?
I suppose you are taking your time and enjoying the main game. Nice. I'm not sure what you can get (besides perhaps some items like Tart / Sweet Apples. I can never have too many of those just in case).

I actually picked Shield. I was going to go with Sword, but the exclusives made me change my mind at the last minute. I got both, but my friend is using Sword right now.

Cool. I considered Sword, but I prefer the Shield exclusives also.

Luckily, I had a Net Ball to use.

I'm only slightly past the third gym. I'm very slow at these games as I like to think about what I want to do, and I'm not playing all the time.

…Why didn't I use a special ball instead of an ultra ball?
Yeah, I beat the main game two days ago. My Inteleon is level 81, so that's probably why is took like 1/3 health from max-growth and beat centiskorch so easily.

Sorry you didn't get the Gigantimax form that you wanted. Perhaps there will be another way I can repay the favor you did for me.

BTW, I could trade one of my fossils for one of yours if you so wanted.

ok, It says searching. I am not in the wild area, so no idea is I need to be

Why don’t you set a link code number and tell me it

Nice. I plan on picking up Shield from gamestop that morning and saving Sword for later. I think I prefer Shield from what is known between the games.

Yes, it's Ankha. I can list the others if you'd like.
And cool, nice contribution (whatever it is - I'm just assuming it was a good one).

When that Animal Crossing software appeared on the WIi U (the one where you have Animal Crossing villagers all over the screen) I found that the special villagers were given canonical birthdays. I thought it should have been contributed to a wiki, so I would constantly restart the software to gather all the birthdays, and I recorded them on a wiki.

That is an awesome contribution. Good for you.

I don't have Pokémon Go, but I'd be your buddy if I did.
I'm doing fine. I'm looking forward to SwSh next month (and also a symphony performance on the same day as its release date). That should be a fun day for me.

I will check now. If I have already declined it, feel free to try again.

Ah, I see it. Accepted.

I enjoyed the trailer.
I am especially interested in the idea of regional variants that keep evolving past their original's lines. That could be quite a nice way to keep the Pokémon interesting.
Also, sir formal Galarian Weezing with its top hats and smoke facial hair makes me appreciate the British influences here.

I actually am fine with the question.
I feel similarly to you. I am disappointed a bit, but it isn't anything dealbreaking with me. I am still getting the games, and I still expect to have lots of fun with them.

I say dreaded is because the talk about the issue has been unpleasant. This isn't to say that everybody on one side or another has been strictly unpleasant, but there are definitely those there. I could go on a tirade about how I think this whole issue has been more overblown than it really needed to be, but I think I'll spare you from that. I'm more disappointed in the reaction than the actual decision.

I feel the same way there. I have not been following the reaction, but from what I have seen, I agree that it is overblown. I am getting used to the actual decision, but I do not expect the reaction to become calm.

Nice idea. I don't recall all the hero's alternate costumes, but that's nice to know.

The main Hero is from 11, then you have 3, 4 and 8.

All the other Heroes appear in the Final Smash.

That's cool. Even though I don't know the series, I still like that those are all included in Smash Bros.

I'm doing well. Hope you are also.
If I remember correctly, you mentioned that game before. That description of it sounds rather interesting. (As for Xenoblade, I haven't played that either, so I wouldn't know how complicated it is.)

I mention Xenoblade, but that may be inaccurate, as that game had you select commands. Xenoblade allows you to attack with simple button combos, and dodge attacks with a different button.

Oh, ok. That makes sense, using button combos and dodges.

I was thinking earlier today about leaving you a message :P.
I only have 61 challenges done at the time of writing this comment. I have not spent much time specifically going for them, but I might soon.
I am enjoying this Smash though.

Coming from one with a degree in English, I understand the passion of writing papers. I do get the rest of that sentence also though.
On what you said about Smash Bros., are you saying you might not finish it within the next week or two? If you mean in general, then I hope you can enjoy it enough without that much playthroughing. (Also, playthroughing should be a word, even if only for this comment.)

I'm glad you reached out (both in general and now). Sure, I'm not currently in an academic setting, but people need more than time to do actions. I hope your paper goes well, and I agree that getting it done sooner is a good idea.

I considered trying this particular competition mainly for that shiny Mimikyu. I do not have much interest in it myself, but I figured I could trade it for something else at some point. Similar reasoning to my obtaining multiples of other events, such as the current U.S. Zeraora event (I have two I obtained personally).
Also, surprising Pokémon are nice. I have had that such thing happen with me often.
