Holy crap, it's been years! Let's see, what's changed at least in my life since I last came here...
I'm 22 now, whoopee. I'm in college now pursuing my Bachelor's in Investigative Forensics (CSI stuff); I think I have less than 10 classes to go there, just a couple of required classes and some electives is all. I've also become a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (brohoof to any bronies/pegasisters reading this! /) ^_^) In terms of gaming, I haven't been too crazy about it up until my birthday last year when I got my 3DS along with Pokémon White and SoulSilver (who says I'm too old for that stuff? lol) and Star Fox 64 3D.
I think getting that has kind of rekindled what I like about playing video games: at least for me, it's fun and a good way to pass the time (or procrastinate ;P). I wouldn't say I'm a "hardcore" sort of player, but more the casual type. Even in Pokémon, I'm not too into competitive battling. I've figured out how to EV-train and how to check IV's and stuff, but I currently only limit that to my White version since my internet isn't compatible with SoulSilver and for Black 2, I'd rather just play through the storyline and the stuff that comes after without going crazy over where my Pokémon's EV's are going. Still then, even though I've got a bunch of EV-trained Poké's in my White version, I have yet to go online and find someone to battle nor am I currently seeking any sparring partners; I only EV-train as a hobby of sorts.
Kind of speaking of Black 2, is it just me or are there a ton more triple and rotation battles then there were in White (and I assume Black since BW are similart)? o_O Sometimes it seems like almost every route has at least one trainer that insists on having one, at least in the post-story routes. Oh, and Colress is an a-hole who needs a party that doesn't consist of a bunch of steel-types. Either that, or a yes/no option on whether you want to battle him before basically going "Surprise, let's battle now while you're completely unprepared for my army of steel!" >_>
