you were ruined by your evo. you used to be a fun, cute, and playful little thing when you were younger,weren't you. and what happened? now you're a bitter 20 something with no future, doesn't play with people jut plays with his games. talk about a bad evolution, you're the definition of it. and don't even get me started on your third evo. it's gonna be soo bad... I can just imagine it now. too old to get his life back on track and still playing pokemon on his handhelds. holy shit that will just be so pathetic, it's almost too embarrassing to be true. but, alas, it will become a reality for most, if not all (every single of you) of /vp/, except for me. why not me? because I chose the alternative evolution, I choose life. I chose to live life to its fullest and train my evs. max education evs? you got it. max exercise evs? you bet. what about you guys? nothing of the sort. its just bad ivs and no evs with you guys all the way, not to mention no hold item. me? I hold books. I hold money. I hold pride. that's more than you have ever been able to say. You could hold money, sure, but it was your mom's money when she gave you some to go pick up the latest pokemon. you could hold some books sure, but its just the strategy guide for your latest pokemon game. Pride? nah, there isn't even a version of pride you've ever held. at the most you had hope for your future when you were young but that's all gone now. you've evolved once and realized that path isn't available to you anymore. keep playing your games while I make it to the third evo and complete my adventure; battle the elite 4 (earn my degree, marriage, successful career). you get to what? be an npc working the pokemart? oh, maybe you'll be one of those npcs you come across just playing their handhelds that you walk up to ingame and they tell you about trading with another person or some shit. yeah, that'll be you for years to come, probably is already what many of you guys are. oh well, you chose that path- not me.
