My Signature Move (maybe)

Text signatures: annoying, obnoxious, and sometimes worthy of mockery.

Even people who ask reasonable questions occasionally maim their reputations with laughable handles at the end. Are these individuals worthy of a special corner in this blog--"Pokedope Sigs"? If this post can collect 10 votes in favor, it shall be.

Stater Pokemon

Q351 What are the other 2 stater pokemon in pokemon crystal?

Aside from the comical lack of the letter "r" in "starter", this post is missing something. Can you figure it out?

a351 That largely depends on which starter you chose.

For Starters

Q328 In pokemon soul silver, will any trainers carry starter pokemon?

Uh... you carry a starter Pokemon, so that's one. Your rival, so there's two. If you've played Pokemon before (which seems unlikely), you'd know that there are a handful of others, but that it *doesn't* *matter.* Why is this even being asked?! You want to know where you can defeat a Chikorita? You certainly can't *catch* someone else's starter Pokemon. This question was in fact so pointless I forgot to answer it.

Pokemon in Wilmington?

Q320 Where do you get Pokemon games in Wilmington Delaware?

...Surely this is laziness. Certainly you are asking this because you have no data plan and the computer is in the other room. There is no obscure ban or blacklisting of Pokemon in Wilmington, nor are GameStops scarce. There are more than three. Asker must have seen one before. Jeez. Sorry for the extended absence guys, I was gearing up for VGC.

a320 GameStop is a great source of Pokemon games, and there are multiple GameStops in the Wilmington area.

Black and White, Misread all over

Q283 add me as a friend? :) My name is Adam Trostle and my profile picture is me in an abbey road shirt in a black and white picture

The Service is getting cocky. Not everything that contains the phrase "black and white" is about Pokemon. I must say though, it's hard to fault them for not knowing what to do with a question like this.

a283 Dear Adam Trostle, I no longer have an account with facebook, sorry.

Use your "DS, Player"?

Q267 Can pokemon black be played on gamecube?

Hilarious. What's more, this asker can't be a little kid--they own a GameCube! Get it together, or maybe get a life and take off your crummy trollerskates. Award yourself one bonus point if you see what I did in the title.

a267 Pokemon Black cannot be played on GameCube.

Incomp

Q255 What button do you pu on pokemon pearl

Realistically, this question is incomplete. My mind jumps to "pu" as an intended "push", and even then, the rest of the question is missing. I also thought "pu" might be an acronym for "permanent use", as in registering something to the select button, but I believe I was giving the asker too much credit there. Ignoring the second possibility, it becomes a question of personal preference. I pu the A button all day long, but maybe that's just me. Oh yeah, and googling "pu button" doesn't point to anything intelligible.

a255 I have no idea what you're talking about.
