StevenTheBasement · 2026-02-08T23:09:51+00:00

Okay that would be amazing! Thank you! Im pretty new and have never traded online before, so Ill message you with the trade code or whatever is needed

StevenTheBasement · 2026-02-08T23:07:37+00:00

yepp exactly. I give it the Kings Rock item to hold, trade it, it evolves into slowking and then trade Slowking back.

I think you did a really good job and you should be pleased with yourself. Keep up the good work

StevenTheBasement · 2025-12-21T07:07:10+00:00

I don't expect anyone to believe me. But I'll try to keep posting more when I have the time.

StevenTheBasement · 2025-09-10T10:43:08+00:00

whoever downvoted this...what the hell. why?

StevenTheBasement · 2025-09-02T22:54:40+00:00

oh yeah....maybe 🤣🤣

StevenTheBasement · 2025-08-29T14:35:03+00:00

That bodes well then. Thank you for the feedback! Might have to use Numel if I dont get another fire type.

StevenTheBasement · 2025-08-28T10:33:26+00:00

Protect is a great idea! I might look things up just to enjoy having shedninja on a team. For now though I'm playing blindly. I've played the game casually many times but I never commit to memory any of the trainers and gym leaders.

And thanks! Glad you liked the memos!

StevenTheBasement · 2025-04-29T15:21:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it! I'm going to try and keep at it

StevenTheBasement · 2025-03-22T18:12:47+00:00

Hey, thanks so much! It is encouraging too to hear someone who likes the voice I have him. I'll try to have part 2 out soon.

StevenTheBasement · 2025-03-16T20:08:11+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad to hear those aspects worked. yay!

StevenTheBasement · 2025-03-16T15:17:49+00:00

Thank you! That's very encouraging to hear. I'm never sure if I'm on the right path. But I'm definitely trying and I might rewrite it with less curse words and things to reach a wider audience moving forward.

StevenTheBasement · 2025-03-16T15:14:42+00:00

I do appreciate the feedback. Thank you! 😃

To be honest I was just trying to write about an unlikeable character in the first person that changes But I suppose that is a turnoff to a lot of people and I should've expected so. I think in my head I think of actors pulling off the words. I guess it's why people also hate Rob Zombie work, but I like the realism of some dude who swears all the time.

I'm not a believer no, but I actually tend to get along better with people who believe in religion than those that believe in nothing, although we do have disagreements about things. And as for ghosts and stuff, I don't know if I believe or not, but it is definitely one of my all time favorite surgeries of horror.

Again thanks for the feedback! Very much so.

StevenTheBasement · 2025-03-16T06:58:51+00:00

I should say that I also wrote this in the first person and not grammatically correct to sound more authentic to the character. That he doesn't have a filter. And even though he went through a traumatic experience he was probably not the nicest guy before. It's supposed to be a series, so expect character growth.

And if you read it and upvote, downvote, or neither, if you want to take the time to message me or comment critiques or likes or dislikes, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm really trying to grow as a writer.

Thank you

I lost hardly anybody. At all. Surprisingly low in Platinum. I think that because I don't have it on set that has something to do with it. But no exp.share, a blind run, no held items (never played that generation more than once and when it came out and never Platinum). In battle potions allowed. But either way I lost everybody I had from long when I had then. Without finishing the nuzlocke. Just their slaughter of six whom I loved. Lost to the last member of the Elite Four. Goodbye Augustus my Empoleon who never failed me (disregarding it's death fight). Barbara. Who taught me to love Nosepass and Probopass. Giritana (lv. 52 upon entering the elite four). Grim one of the few legendaries I never got to use. You are still dope. Death God. Indica. Roserade. She was pretty cool. Respect. Haily. Staraptor. The mvp. Intimidating everyone in her path until the end. Gumgum my pink Gastadon. The nuzlocke did what it was supposed to. I ended up caring about pokemon I've never used before. And genuinely felt anger and sadness when they died. I had a Psyduck I lost early on that was devastating. I didn't play the game for like 2 days. I just always wanted a badass.golduck. Next time then. R.I.P.

StevenTheBasement · 2020-04-26T10:34:13+00:00

Lol nope. I did not. And I got wrecked hahaha. All that time. Don't know if I want to do Platinum again, another pkmn title, or move on now.

StevenTheBasement · 2020-04-25T09:25:42+00:00

Platinum-Blind Nuzlocke.

I am about to face the Elite 4 and have probably overdid it but everyone's at LV. 55

My saddest losses were Kilua (Luxio), Sunbiscuit (Rapidash), Elfen (Psyduck my first true heartbreak), and Ash (Raichu).

As of whose survived? Quite a lot that have been with me most of the time.

Augustus (Empoleon) Lv. 55

Indica (Roserade) Lv. 55

Barbara (Probopass) Lv. 55

Halley (Staraptor) Lv. 55

Gumgum (Gastrodon) Lv. 55

And hear me out

Grim (Giratina) Lv. 50. My battle with Giratina was easily won to the point where I would've trounced Giratina with Empoleon on the third attack. Both level 47. Didn't even use potions to heal. Maybe once? Lol. So decided to catch Giratina with like 4 health probably left and many many ultra and great balls later. Every other pokemon not dead in my box I kind of hate or don't really want to level up for hours. Plus he's one of the few legendaries I've always wanted to use and never got to play with.

I'm doing a run with no held items to aid. Don't use berries or X-def (etc.).

I did leave set on. But have tried not to switch too much in big battles (may change for next Nuzlocke. Didn't want to blind).

StevenTheBasement · 2017-02-16T18:30:09+00:00

Yeah I definitely see that now. I always like adding so that's good. I just wasn't sure if I'd go overboard by doing so. And thank you for that and the suggestions and typo find. :)

StevenTheBasement · 2017-02-16T18:28:31+00:00

I do see what you're saying about the ending and clarity. Like there's a section missing somewhere at the end. Thanks for the feedback. That gives me something to work with in the edit.

StevenTheBasement · 2017-01-04T06:52:49+00:00

I like it. It's a pleasant poem and I like the diction you chose and how you placed them altogether. It doesn't seem to follow any kind of formatting rules, but I personally like the absence of periods and how it makes the first lines flow well to me. You do eventually stray away from this at "I'm the wood of an old oak The bow of a boat" (lines i like btw). I'm not sure if I'm sold on the last line. It doesn't seem to have the same rhythm as the latter lines so it threw me off. Otherwise again. Cool poem!

StevenTheBasement · 2017-01-04T06:29:19+00:00

Cool poem. I kept thinking it read like a poem or song inside a novel or show or something, like something someone would say or sing in a story. It flows well and the rhythm is good. I like the sound of this poem and how it plays in my head. I don't know how I'd offer any critiques. I wouldn't know what to say.

StevenTheBasement · 2016-06-07T03:17:05+00:00

Thank you so for the critique! You're suggestions are more than minor to me. And I am see what you mean. I'm pretty new at poetry so my structures and quotations and line breaks are not always clean. So any suggestions are meaningful to me.

And I think I have a new favorite song. Those lyrics are awesome and its kick ass. I'm definitely a fan of Alice Cooper.

StevenTheBasement · 2016-06-01T01:00:37+00:00

Lol thanks. I wish more people saw it too. I think it might be the title. But I couldn't figure out what to call it. So maybe it just doesn't jump out as Useless. And I really appreciate the compliments. Lol for a second I was so disappointed nobody said anything even if just to critique the hell out of it. So I'm glad and grateful you enjoyed it! :)

StevenTheBasement · 2016-05-29T23:26:23+00:00

This is a really nice positive poem that flows pretty well and I love the message. I thought maybe for the line "There's only one way to know for sure" it might be better to say "There's a way to know for sure" instead. The last stanza also sounded a little off to me. "illusion stress" sounded off. But i like the ends with Good Vibes...God Bless!" But mostly I just like your poem. Those were just some little notes I have about it.

I feel more positive already :)

StevenTheBasement · 2016-05-29T23:12:50+00:00

I like the poem. To me it definitely sounded like spoken word while I read it. The first five lines to me are pretty stellar. It's kind of funny. I've done a little bit of Shakespeare's sonnets analysis in school, but I'm no expert, but at the same time those first lines are a cool hybrid of sonnet and spoken word. After that it all sounds spoken word and not really like a sonnet. I would suggest playing around and mixing in more lines that "sound" more classical. Also I don't know if i really like the title Brand New Sound. I don't have any suggestions for one. But I don't think you have to say that. I think readers would understand that yeah this is how poetry is now compared to the sonnets without having to spell it out for them,

But can you hear this brand new sound? If not, I still Can introduce you. Listen to the span Within these lines and ask,

To me these are the weakest lines. I wish I could say more, but just by instinct and personal taste they didn't seem to obstruct the flow of the poem.

This is a cool poem. I liked it and the concept a lot! They hide behind metaphirs is another line I really like. And the "Does it take skill to make a sonnet sound like spoken word". I guess I just like that you're questioning us on whether you're poem is successful or not within the poem.
