Report Note
+ Clip This
Anybody else notice this?
Is it back in style? Do I need to hit up eBay for some trading cards or what?

Quite puzzled about it, myself.

Maybe the people who start all the Pokemon notes are paid by Nintendo to stir up buzz for the Global Pokemon Fever 2.0

This Pokemon note has 218 responses. I think that's the highest reply count I've seen around here. For any note.
Edit: The whole thread seems to be a harbor for instnt msging.

Some people have passions, that's the only way I can explain it.

It's fascinating to watch and they've kept it in this one note so I don't have a problem with it. Love to see people passionate about things. I kinda feel like I'm missing something...I didn't think Pokemon could be so fun.

Some of the peeps over in that thread have like 60+ replies, and they're all on one thread (just take a look at their profile pages). Just skipping through the pages, it is quite bizarre how it even kicked off like that. But hats off to them, they've got a passion and they seem to be enjoying themselves. And ultimately, that's the most important thing.
Or...
All the people in that Note are Scrivs, and we're seeing the various sides to his multiple personalities. They just all happen to be Pokemon fans.

Scrivs, stop talking to yourself. We'll talk to you. :)
It is quite amazing to see a thread forever bumped to the top daily over the course of a month.

I know you guys will talk to me, but you can be slow to respond at times. I get almost instant responses from myself though and because of the Pokemon thread, those peeps might get a sneak preview of the new section of 9rules.

It's disgustingly off topic though... The thread is supposed to be for exchanging friend codes, isn't it?
The thread is giving me RSS-ache but I'll poke Thunderbird until it filters them out.
Edit: Done. TB shoots them on sight.

I am going to start a Pokemon chat room because obviously there is a big need for one.

Oli: The beauty in that note is that they are detailing who they traded with, who won battles, etc. so people can decide who to battle....
wait for it....
which puts the note on track because it helps people make a decision on who to battle and can add people appropriately.
I know Oli, the real reason was that it was driving you crazy and you did the right thing...you handled it. Shoot, lemme give you some points for that.
@Nick - HAHAHA you walked right into that one! :) Good going hthth!

Not unless you have about 30 followers like Pokemon has.

Never mind scrivs I changed my mind, I don't want to see any of your sections.

I'm a little worried that they're posting more notes in 10 minutes (how long TB waits before checking feeds again) than the feed holds (35 items)... My 9r feed has been a little quiet over the last couple of days and I think they might be pushing out "legitimate" notes. I could well be wrong though.

You guys this whole topic is SCREWED THE HECK UP! i thought it was about pokenotes! Now it about giving points away to other people. You guys get sidetracked easily. . . . . . .
