Hi there LilyGardy!
I'm doing well thank you! How about yourself old friend? It's splendid to catch up with you.
I am excited to hear about your new lifestyle of vegetarianism. I was a vegetarian for many years, and last year I took the plunge and went full out vegan. I'm enjoying the plant-based diet. If you need any suggestions for good food brands that are vegetarian or vegan then, you I'm your gal. Ever try burgers from Beyond meat, Lightlife or Impossible? They are really good substitutes for ground beef, they do taste like the real thing to me whereas a lot of soy or black bean burgers aren't quite there yet. Beyond has some nice sausages too. Marie Callender has a deliciously-flavored chicken pot pie with gardein chick'n. Sorry to be a jabberjaw, but talk of food always gets me in a happy mood!
Congratulations on your shiny Roselia. You know that's one of my favorite shinies. The black and purple roses are subtle, but elegant. I don't have Pokemon go, but I do have shiny Roselia and Roserade on my ds, and am grateful for these handsome fellas. That's a great idea to send one to Pokemon Shield, will be a fine companion to Her Queenly Majesty. Tsareena is another Pokemon I think is super cool. And the flower trinity wouldn't be complete without Lilligant Beech.
This weekend I should have a chance to read up on the Rose of Team Magma. I'm really looking forward to settling in, and finding out what mischief Rose and Sarah are up to next, at the end of a long work week.
Are you excited about Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl? What about Pokemon Legends: Arceus?
That's a really interesting theory about Erika. I like it. I could actually see her as a Lavender Town gym leader There are channelers in the Pokemon Tower, and these ghost pokemon adopt a more traditional Japanese style dresses like priestesses, it complements Erika and her attire well. They could have been the gym trainers in an alternate storyline where she is the leader of a ghost pokemon gym. The sleepiness does indeed sound sinister, like she's under a magic spell or perhaps undead even! I'd love to read a creepy pasta about this. If you know where I could find that fan theory, point me the right direction. I want to know more. Cheers!
