          Walky’s going to kiss Lucy and a ray of pure energy will blast out of her as she assumes her form of fifth element. A sliver of this emergy will hit the delorean and send marty back to 1984. Scotty will tap some of this to jump start their klingon bird of prey and take george and gracey to the federation. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the walky kiss.

    Well this guy looks like a dork. I bet Walky could beat him easy in a contest of physical aptitude. If you don’t know yet that’s the only thing that matters when two masculine identifying individuals meet for the first time. This should go well for Walky. Yes this was 99% sarcasm.

I’d love to know what kind of algorithm managed to spit out that combo, since both completely failed to engage my interest but in completely different ways.

        Yeah, he’s honestly in some ways an ideal one. She already knew some of his goofier tendencies well before they began dating, so expectations are managed. He’s been pretty open and honest with her, so there’s that, too. He also really hasn’t been pushy about doing things she isn’t ready for.

        All in all, a good starter boyfriend whether or not the two last for the long haul.

    I wonder who was more obsessed with their significant other, Lucy with Walky, or Danny with Dorothy?

    I’m half inclined to say Danny, because this is still really early for Lucy, whereas Danny followed Dorothy all the way to college…

    Then again I haven’t even taken in Jennifer/Ruth into account.

        I don’t really care for either of his haircuts, but I definitely prefer the Walkyverse haircut of the two. I’ve never seen the appeal of the “undercut” hairstyle in general, it just looks bad to me.

    The only thing about this that I find hard to believe is that Walky had the patience to let Lucy take 40+ selfies with her at Taco Bell.

      Ok, I’ll give it a try:

      1. A New Jersey summertime county fair. Cotton candy, funnel cake, games, maybe even an amusement ride or two, maybe some mini-golf nearby… fireworks in the evening if you are lucky… just nice beachside or semi-rural summertime New Jersey fun.

      What about you? What would be a fun first date (or first platonic friendly get together) for you?

      Finding out you’re both going to the same game convention and arranging to be in at least one one-shot together? Can that count as a date?

      My now-husband took me to the Pokemon XY demo as a pre-date. Our first official date, we went to the movies to see a sequel to a horror movie. I kept telling him he would see the spooky ghost on his way back home hahaha.

      I always get the names of horror movie franchises mixed up, so I’ll just say it was the one with the violin going REEEE. If you know, you know.

      My boyfriend isn’t much of a romantic (demi in fact) but he once took an old gf on the most romantic first date possible entirely by accident. They had pizza on the beach in Italy at sunset. They were just there (damn europeans and their easy travel) and he felt like getting pizza.

      I told him he’s recreating that with me one day except on purpose

        Awww… so lovely! You should do it! If you like wine, you can polish it off with a bottle of Chianti split while seated on the grass underneath some Roman ruins. (Or you can split an espresso, or sparkling water, or whatever you like.) Italy was made for romance.

      Until Walky and Lucy have been together for a while, does he really have a reason to know it? I don’t bother intentionally learning people’s names until I’ve met them at least twice, because that’s space I could be using to remember another new Pokemon.

        You don’t need to know the name David. You do need to know the name Quaxly as you cry that no one in the world chose Quaxly and everyone needs it for their dex.

        I traded out 91 of the things to people.

            I received 6 different Charmanders while trading out Quaxly alone and got 1 Quaxly back at all ever out of all the trades I ever did in the entire time of trying to complete my dex. Charmander isn’t even in the main dex and I’ve got 8 of them in total!

            I didn’t even choose Quaxly as my starter, I used a second account to get it, traded to my partner, traded it to my main account, then bred and traded them out. I hatched a shiny female one though which was neat.

        Sending ten pictures of someone to anyone is getting weird and mildly creepy. Dozens? That’s getting real creepy and weird, and if someone did that with my pictures, it’d be a second sign to get me gone quick.

        The first one would be then taking that many pictures in the first place, of course.
