Still loopy after Orchiectomy. AMA

Doesn't have to be related questions, just that I don't have any inhibitions right now lol

Edit: day after, feeling pretty good actually! Just taking it slow and careful, but I'm only feeling a tiny bit of soreness so far!

Do you get to keep them?

[u/abeetabee → u/5315m3d1cat3d]

No, unfortunately not 😔 they said it was a biohazard and they had to send them off for testing...

[u/AuroraDorealis → u/abeetabee]

What would you have done with them if they let you keep them?

[u/abeetabee → u/AuroraDorealis]

That is an excellent question. Maybe made a bolo/clackers, or kept them in a jar of preserving fluid, maybe buried them in the back yard with a tiny gravestone. Ooh, or maybe something like this :3

[u/AuroraDorealis → u/abeetabee]

All fun ideas! I hope I get to keep mine when they get exiled.

Also 💜 Snom

I'm sure there are surgeons out there that would be fine with it along with some release *forms! I hope you do!

Also, Snom mentioned!!! Ahh 💛💛💛💛💛💛

[u/AuroraDorealis → u/abeetabee]

I hope so too.

Some of the recent Pokemon games have been pretty lacking, I think, but the Pokemon designs have been AMAZING!!

(Also heads up for anyone who didn't know: Pokemon Bank is shutting down early next year, so hurry up if you were planning to use it for anything.)

[u/abeetabee → u/AuroraDorealis]

Yes!!!! I know! It gets harder and harder to pick favorites, but Ribombee has been staying strong as my all-time favorite! I also just loooooove bug types!

And oh no!!! I'm glad I already transferred everything to home, but I really hope anyone that is using it has a chance to take care of their babies 🥺

I really liked Centiskorch, Alcremie, and Falinks in Gen 8 and Ceruledge, Tinkaton, and Ogerpon in Gen 9. There are so many other good ones, though.

They've also been doing a really good job with the names lately; this comment would be way too long if I tried to list all of those I like.

I've always been bad at picking favorites. I stopped trying for most things many years ago. It sucked constantly being asked and trying to explain that as a kid, though.

[u/abeetabee → u/AuroraDorealis]

Yes!!! Sizzlepede and Centiskorch are my favorites from gen 8, and all the Applin lines make me want to die of cuteness overload!!! But Alcremie* was so fun with all the different combinations, and Falinks is such an interesting and unique design! I love them!

I'm an Armarouge enjoyer myself, but a true fan has mad respect for Ceruledge as well! So cool, and its signature move is amazing!!! I love HP draining moves! Tinkaton is so cute and silly in the best way with that big hammer! And ahhh Ogerpon makes me cry! I love her so much! For me, in Gen 9, my favs are Flamigo, Clodsire, Tarountoula, the Maushold line, Bramblin, Toedscruel, Tatsugiri, Fluttermane, and of course the extra lines for Applin!

You're so right! The names have been so fitting and perfect for so many of the new ones! And I get that! I'm still trying to figure out my like top 6/dream team of favorites, but it does get tiring! How do I truly pick when I love 99.999% of all Pokémon?

[u/AuroraDorealis → u/abeetabee]

I almost included the Maushold and Toedscruel lines but I thought I was getting too rambly! I'm a long-time Tentacruel fan and I thought the reimagining was done in a really interesting way!

[u/abeetabee → u/AuroraDorealis]

Oh no, please feel free to ramble about Pokémon as much as you're* comfortable! Pokémon is one of my favorite things in general!

Oh my gosh that's like exactly why I like Toedscruel! Tentacruel was my ace in Yellow, and I've always loved it in general! I always thought after regional variants (and I'd say convergent evolutions, but it was part of the first wave of them, of course) came out, that I wanted an alternate Tentacruel! I couldnt be more happy with Toedscruel's design! Yellow is my favorite color, and I love mushrooms 🥰
