@EaglyTheKawaiiShika have fun reading my old posts if you do look at the page I linked you.

I only joined this year but i've grown so much.

I think I’m becoming a bit of a Pokémon fan. It may not sound like that big of a deal but I always avoided the games because I thought I would get made fun of for it. So in a way, this has been a bit of a step into not caring so much about what others think about me.

@blindsquarel Download Pokemon Bank and Transfer before it's too late. If you want to transfer your team.

@Kermit1Pineapple
Can that be used for White? If so I definitely will.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
I’ve always been interested, but I thought I would be popular if I avoided them. That worked out to a tee /s
I’m going to play one of heart gold and soul silver next, then probably buy Arceus or one of the 3ds games.

@blindsquarel yep, you download Bank to then Download Transfer that's within Bank (kinda like DLC)

You use Transfer on White then use Transfer to transfer to Bank.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
Yeah, I starting to kinds move past that mindset.

If it doesn’t allow me to connect that is fine. I’ll do some research about it.

If someone gives you an expensive gift you don’t want are you greedy/spoiled for not wanting it? Like you have absolutely no interest in it yet you get something you’ve said previously you don’t want

If it’s something you don’t want, and there’s no harm in accepting it, I suppose you can donate it or sell it.

However, if there’s some kind of power dynamic involved or some sort of darker meaning to the gift, you’re entirely free to stand your ground and define boundaries.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika No, once I found out my parents were getting me Star Wars Black Series figures and I thought they were the new ones (Last Jedi) but on Christmas day when I opened the huge box it was Force Awakens figures. I was thankful and never said a word about seeing them.

Nowadays i'm so select to shop for I end up buying 50% of what I get for Christmas.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika well given the fact they cancelled the order, it seems me they’ve definitely taken your input into consideration. It might have offended them, which is normal… But I doubt they will be actually mad about it.

As for my total honest opinion, it sounds like you might be bit hard to buy for, and well… Unfortunately that’s a frustrating situation for everyone involved, and one without an easy solution that doesn’t involve being “that guy”.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika well I’m not sure how much it will help, but here are a few general tips, from a that guy to another:

  • Sometimes our opinions, hobbies, and beliefs are not as obvious as we might think, so it’s healthy to let them out every now and then.
  • Parents will parent. You and your siblings will always be a blurry Venn Diagram for them. Additionally sometimes they simply don’t know better when it comes to the finer points of our hobbies, and also have their own biases. So it’s important to develop a bit of a poker face. Remember: be honest, but not unpleasant.
  • Assume good intentions. Assuming the worst might the easiest option, but it’s rarely the correct one; It can become a self-inflicted burden.
  • No snooping in the closet before Christmas.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Sometimes it is not the gift itself or if they listened to what you really want. Be happy that they try to guess what you like even if it is in the last moment or something

I was surprised couple of years ago that my GF gifted me One X for Christmas even if I am only a fan of the 360

After all you can always buy what you want yourself It will mean more for them to see you like the present even if you don't
