I'll call him Gibraltar, named after the Rock of Gibraltar.

YAY, Gibraltar!

Edit: Darn, most of the wild pokemon are taken or fainted. Time to wait!

Edit again: Can you edit the title of a topic to show what page the avaliable wild pokemon are, so we can go directly to that page instead of looking around? It may seem lazy, and it is, but it's just a suggestion.

I guess that would be easier, but that would require that I go back to the first post and edit the title of the topic every time a new list of Wild IPA is posted. They'ere usually only a page or two back. I'll consider it, but seeing as I'm lazier than all of you combined... it seems unlikely.

In other news, Siranae! Your time as come! ...For your egg to hatch. So here it is.

Pidgemander - Gender: Female; Type: Fire, Flying; Abilities: Blaze, Keen Eye; Attacks: Tackle, Growl

Give a nickname to Pidgemander?
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I didn't think it would come until tomorrow, but I'm happily surprised...I love it!

Yes, I'll give it a name.
...oh. I probably should have thought of one. Gimme a sec. I'll think of something.

Thanks, Silver! You're awesome.

[Edit] I shall call her...Narin! Looking up names, I found that the root "Nar" means fire in Arabic...but it can also mean pomagranate.

I really have no idea; I somehow failed to keep track of what items you have.
That hurts Silver. It really does.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

I don't think he meant that as an insult. He must have just forgotten to add your items to his sheet.

Seriously. What about that "hurts"? I wish I had detailed information on everyone's items, but it's kind of hard to keep track.

Also, sorry about the lack of update - Wednesday and today - but I've been kind of busy. I'd also like to appologize for any mistakes I may have made yesterday, which is highly possible considering the entire update was conducted while... ha hah. It was pretty much the weirdest day of my life. I guess it technically carried over to today, didn't it...? Until 1 AM when the battery died... Anyway, weird is good, but also very distracting. So it's highly possible that I messed up somewhere.

Although it's technically Monday, because today's a holiday, I'm not updating IPA.

...Ok, not really because it's a holiday... I guess I better hurry up and let Saber start updating. See, it took me seventeen years, but I've actually started to develop something of a social life... which I'm not necessarily proud of, but... aw, the SOS-Brigade's great. And then there's that person...

I'm keeping that achievement. Definitely. No matter what technicalities or loopholes I have to exploit. I've got four months left, dang it, and I am not going to give it up after coming this far!

Geh... I'm sorry about this, guys.

I'm sorry if this has already been explained several times, but how exactly does the level system work? If you defeat a Pokemon with five wins, does it only count as one one or more?

Wow, I just realized that I still haven't put an advertisement in my sig. Dang, all that IC. Wait, is that thing still going on?

I'm putting one in just in case.

I know I explained this somewhere... but now I can't, for the life of me, remember where it is. So here's how it works. IPA with less than five wins are worth 1 EXP. IPA with five to fifteen wins are worth 2 EXP. IPA with more than fifteen wins are worth 3 EXP.

Yeah, you're still welcome to do that. It seemed to work pretty well, so I'll keep it going for a while longer.

Just be sure to let us know when the sig thing ends, so I can figure out how much IC I got from the whole thing.

Yeah, I honestly haven't been paying attention to how much you've earned so far... once it ends, I'm just going to count how many days it was there (I did record the date it started and when everyone put them in their signatures) and record the IC based on that. It started on January 20, so I figure I'll let it run until around March 20.

Also, if you guys want to be really nice, you can make the advertisements link to the IPA section or the first page of the discussion thread. Just kinda makes sense.
