I just pulled together the greatest metaphor. Okay, so:
09th [04:43:29] CS: Whoa 09th [04:43:31] CS: I just found 09th [04:43:37] CS: the best pansexual metaphor 09th [04:43:40] CS: on this site 09th [04:43:44] CS: Okay okay, chaos 09th [04:43:47] CS: c'mere 09th [04:44:00] CS: alright? Now think about the pokemon games 09th [04:44:15] CS: chaos, gimme your attention, this is a thought experiment 09th [04:44:39] Chaos: i am 09th [04:44:48] CS: Okay. Pokemon games. 09th [04:44:50] CS: You with me? 09th [04:44:56] Chaos: yeah 09th [04:45:03] CS: Male and female pokemon 09th [04:45:49] CS: a male pokemon that you can drop off at the daycare with a female pokemon of the same species, and they'll <3, is a heterosexual male pokemon. 09th [04:46:37] CS: a female, say, Charmeleon that you can drop off at the daycare with a male Charmeleon or female Charmeleon, that's a bisexual female Charmeleon. 09th [04:46:48] CS: Ditto is pansexual. 09th [04:47:24] CS: http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnsbqaejwi1qak0qdo1_500.png 09th [04:47:29] Chaos: because it can breed with anything that breathes? 09th [04:47:40] CS: yes. even if it's not the same species of pokemon 09th [04:47:57] CS: it doesn't just have to be the same or opposite, it'll <3 any pokemon. 09th [04:48:01] CS: That's what pansexuality's like
[Note/context]: The metaphor hinges on the parallel between ditto <3ing each species even ones it's not, as opposed to the charmeleon <3ing just males or females of the same species, with pansexual people <3ing people that aren't just strictly identified male or female.
[Edit]: My friend added as I tried to continue making a breakthrough to my friend,"tell them i identify as a brick and you'd love me for me before you loved me for being a brick"

Ahhhh =) My first pokemon game was firered, but I have soulsilver =D ......also, you can put all pokemon in the daycare with whatever gender, it's just that they 'prefer to play with others rather than eachother' if they're the same gender...at least it's that way in my games...also, the brick thing was kinda awesome xD
Psh the pokemon are clearly just hiding their harbored gay lust for eachother when the daycare people are in sight, duh.
I had blue! And got Fire Red when it came out...I've never had a different generation's story lol.

I have firered, ruby, emerald, rangers (the first one), blue rescue team, explorers of time, pearl, platinum, soulsilver and black... :D (blue was still the first game I played, as I lent it from my best friend's brother)
wow O.O i only ever had gold and a friend of mine had silver so we could trade ^^ but i lost it..... ive always found pokemon weird critters ... and its basically a show about having your pets fight each-other which is kind of a bad thing i think =D

Didn't you get this strane I-don't know-what-to-call-it thingy with Gold? A pokewalked is sorta a new versionof it...counts your steps too, and gives pokemon in it exp based on how much you walked...
hmm with gold i just got the game or is it something in the game like the pokedex? sounds like its a scheme to get kids to go walk instead of playing games all day

...you can just shake the pokewalker too, so that would work for the lazy kids x)
It is not a pokedex though, it is just a help for getting pokemon up in level and making them happy, plus you find items and can get even more pokemon that you catch using the pokewalker and transfer to the DS, pokemon that can't be caught in the game.
oh so it is a bad scheme to get kids to move =P... how do you catch pokemon with that thing ? is it like a gameboy ? i always hated that about the pokemon games, you cant catch all pokemon in one game... gotta have 2 versions(or a friend with the other one) to catch all=S greedy ppl

Gapps, of course you do. We all know the creators of Pokemon are greedy little bastards, but they HAVE come up with something really good =)
...and Doc, I will check that video at school tomorrow because our internet connection her sucks...Ash was always an annoying little noob though, and we all know that Pikachu was the awesome one :D
