For those who don't know what Gijinka is...
Gijinka (擬人化) is a Japanese word meaning "humanoid", "personification", or "anthropomorphic", although the use of the word outside of Japan has come to be slightly different from the use of the word "anthropomorphic" in the anime/manga/furry/etc communities. Rather than referring to just any animal with human characteristics, a gijinka is most often a fan re-design of an animal-like character from an animation or graphic novel in a human or humanoid form, (ex: a Digimon or Pokémon) or of a humanoid version of the artist's own original animal-like character.
And for those of us who are cosplaying as Pokemon are finding most of our costume ideas here...

This gathering is an out of con photoshoot for people who are doing Pokemon Gijinka cosplay.
Please only sign up for this if you are cosplaying from Pokemon (trainer or gijinka) or want to take pictures. This is the first meetup I have planned and I want to keep the craziness down. Sorry about that.
After the photo taking anyone who wants can stay for a picnic in the park. Food will not be provided so you would have to bring your own lunch but I will try to provide blankets for sitting as such.
Location: Washington Park (The big park by the Oregon Zoo) in the Hoyt Aboretum
I'm not sure how parking is going to be since it will be a Saturday near the zoo, so my suggestion to everyone is (if you can) is to park your car near a Max stop and ride the Max there. From the Max you can go up some elevators, start heading towards the Children's museum and head up the street that goes into Washington Park. Maybe twenty steps away there is a sign that looks like this:
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi11.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa164%2F-Boogiepop-%2FIMG_1132.jpg&hash=f43db743e6a48ed8be1e128882a093fcf58bfd62)
Head up the stairs directly by the signs and you will find yourself at this stone area that goes right into a well kept park area. The area is beautiful in my opinion and has lots of shady areas for people who get too hot. My camera died before I could get many pictures but just to give you guys a taste, here are some links.

A WORD OF WARNING: Though the park is a public area, where we are meeting is a Veterans Memorial, we can have as much fun as we want in the park, but directly ahead of the stone area we are meeting there is a Garden of Solace. Please do not go in there in your costumes or to take pictures. I'm not sure of the rules for that part of the park, but the garden is in memory of people who died in war. I don't think they'd appreciate us throwing ourselves around in there while dressed in costume.

I vote sometime in August! ^3^
-
I'm fine with anything really. I have a few things planned but only a couple. The possibility of us planning for one of those days is unlikely.
I'm excited for this! :D
-
I think august is fine with me...
-
Woot for August! ^3^
-
Anytime is good for me.
Except Sundays.
-
i think this is a great idea. august sounds great. this will be my first time doing gijinka. ^_^ thoes pictures help quite a bit too. (so count me in!)
-
August, please. : D
And this is going to be great! ^^
-
So August sounds good with everyone, what weekend would work best for you guys?
Also my friends and I were talking today and we thought it might be fun if some people dressed as Pokemon trainers or Gym Leaders and came to the meetup as well.
-
August 22nd, 23rd, 29th, or 30th...would be nice...>3<
-
Ergh, at the end of August would be bad for me since it would be cutting close to Kumoricon. I can also only do weekends due to school and I have some people driving up from out of town to go to the gathering so only weekends for them as well. Do you think you could make the gathering if it was earlier in August Kameko? Actually the 4th, 11th, and 18th would work best for me but I can try to work things out so it could work better for other people as well.
-
~sigh~ Well...I think I may just go to the con shoot or whatever because I'm going on a trip the 5th-16th...>3< But yeah, don't worry about me. I'll be content with wearing it at the con. So whenever you guys want! 8D
-
I have a wedding to attend the 15-16(at the beach) so I'd have no way to leave that. :/
I can always do weekdays. I hope I get a job but I can take a day off or two.
-
Would the 18th of August work for both of you to attend?
-
Yah. And I'm always free for weekdays too if there is a need for that. ^3^
-
Why yes, yes it does. :3
-

dang, I have an Ash cosplay, but I was gonna do Zubat...maybe I can change or something...
-
What ever you feel like doing Nyahaha you should do. My boyfriend made a joke about dressing up as Prof. Oak when I told him I was doing Pokemon cosplay. I want to see if he was serious or not...he'd be there anyways as a photographer.
-
D'awww! That'd be sweet! ^3^
-
you always need a prof. Oak. he goes with any pokemon. :3
-
Could someone possibly map quest this for other people, becaus eI have no idea what zoo you guys are talking about.
-
Its the Oregon Zoo

-
Speaking of photography, what if someone went and pulled off an old Pokemon Snap and came as Todd?
-
That would be total lulz~
-
Bumping and double posting for me being stupid. I must have been looking at the wrong month because the 18th of August is a Tuesday. So date planning again! I'm looking at the calender right now and if we do it in August I'm thinking the 22nd or 15th would be best. Which date would be better for everyone?
-
22nd plez ;D
-
if we decide on a date i will only be able to go on a sunday or monday if my school/work starts up this summer
-
I think, as of now, the fifteenth would be better, but the twenty second might be okay as well.
And LULZ to the Todd idea.
-
Ah well, looks like votes for a date are spread all over. Any other people want to put their two cents in? For the 15th or 22nd?
-
22nd please. 8< I have a wedding to attend the 15th.
-
Hey! Sorry to barge in, but do you think another spot is open? I might be done with my Girafarig Gijinka by then! Any date is ok with me! :D
-
Omg! Girafarig! Yes! xD
-
@Pien- You are welcome to come as long as you have a means of transportation and are going to be in a Pokemon cosplay or want to take photos. So you are welcome to come.
And is it ok if we plan for the 22nd then since that seems to be majority (ITT: 2 to 1 votes :D) if not more people need to give me some input. I'd like to get a date finalized within the next two weeks.
-
Sounds good to me. ^.^
-
So even though I can't do a gijinka this year, I just remember that you had asked earlier for trainer. And then I though OH YEAH!!! I have my Ash cosplay. So as long as I can make it(I think I will if it's on the 22nd) I can be Ash.
-
I think 22nd is Perfect! I don't have many plans this summer!
-
I'd come to this if Glaceon is done by then I hope Shelke doesn't take away for Glaceon
-
Ok! The 22nd it is then.
@Konan- I hope you can join us.
-
I hope so too ^^
-
Yay! Konan!
-
I'll be there.
Once I ask my mom of course...
But I think so.
She'll probably say "sure", and drive me down.
With a few friends. Dressed as Umbreon and Vulpix. Then I will be Goldeen, as planned.
So, yeah.
-
Yay! I loooove Vulpix. x3 And I can't wait to see your Goldeen costume, Katie. : D
My friend who is cosplaying as Umbreon probably won't be there, so since I'm Espeon it'll work out nicely. :3
-
So yeah, I'm still comming as Gijinka Glaceon.
-
I unfortunately have not started on Girafarig yet... I will prolly get some done this week tho! And it is in August, so that is plenty o' time!
-
I decided that it would probably be a bad idea to be goldeen, because then I'd have to be in water, and hurt my costume... that would suck.
Plus I don't have enough time to make it.
No, that doesn't mean I'm not coming!
It means I'm swapping out to make an easier cosplay.
So, I'm being roselia
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi536.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff326%2F_Absol_%2Fpokepeople%2F315.jpg&hash=c7c75dd8dc39dae3380e40a64582d1c0a7491132)
My friends are still coming!
(Kagome, it's Irene who's being vulpix and Erin who's being umbreon)
-
So WHERE in Washington Park? It's pretty damn big.
-
@SoundNinja- That will be adorable.
@BJG- I'm not completely sure yet. I remember I nice place last time I hiked there, it was on the way to the archery range and has the woods right next to it and a pretty tree in like a nice stretch of land. I can't explain it. I'll get exact areas figured out by July 13th.
-
Can't wait!
-
I'm going, along with Hazuza (maybe).
If we go, I would most likely go as Eevee, an Hazuza would most likely go as Charmeleon.
EDIT: My sister may come along too, so if she does, I might not be Eevee. She wants to try pulling off a duo one (like plusle and minun or gastrodon west and gastrodon east or something along those lines).
-
@Boogie: Perhaps we can have a meeting place, then wander the park for photos? Just a suggestion. Oh and a list of participants might be helpful!
-
@ Pein- That was the plan. I just need to find the meeting place per say. I haven't been there in awhile and I forget what is around the area, and I'd prefer we don't meet by the zoo seeing as it is a Saturday and it's going to be crowded as hell. I need to go there soon and see where we can meet.
-
I might be able to come... if so it is a tie between Absol and Arcanine
-
I don't think I can come anymore, I'm so busy I forgot this was here so I forgot what day it was and made other plans, sorry guys. Plus I wanted to finish my Dragonair gijinka.
EDIT: Yeah, I can't come I'm out of town the 22nd. maybe >> I'll have to ask around though.
-
Sorry you can't come Konan, hopefully you have fun doing whenever you decide to do. I'm going to make a list on the first post of who is coming/not coming.Tell me if I forgot you.
Also Shinigami_Lover, I think Arcanine would be cute.
I also am not sure who is coming or not anymore since it's been a long time since this has been posted. Could you guy please post if you are confirmed or not and your Pokemon? Thanks guys!
-
Ah, turns out I can come, i had my dates mixed up. It's a toss up between Dragonair and Glaceon
-
Okay. So Hazuza and now my boyfriend, his sister, my sister, and her friend are planning on coming along with me.
Hazuza - Charmeleon
Sis - Teddiursa, Lugia, or Aipom
Sis' Friend - TBA
Boyfriend - Electabuzz
BF's Sis - Either Cresselia or Leafeon?
Me - Kadabra
-
Hey, I will probably go as Teddiursa or as like Raichu. I don't know yet. If I can't get them done in time I'd like to go as a photographer or as one of the trainers. I think I could get like May/Haruka or Dawn/Hikari done in time.
-
I am going! I am doing Girafarig.
-
I've got a bunch of my buddies coming as well but I need to figure out who will be who (and who's costumes I will be making). Also, next Tuesday I'm going to drop by the park on the way home. I'll figure out a spot to meet-up at and take pictures of it. I'll also find a place close by that we will end up going to.
-
I am so excited for this and I can't wait to see the outcome! ^o^-
Sister - Lugia
Sister's Friend - Ho-oh
Boyfriend's sis - Cresselia
-
Sounds fun I want in!!! I kinda like the umbreon but I would have to make it for a guy which should not be that hard.
-
WE HAVE GRIFF!!
WOOT!
It'll be nice to see ya there.
-
Sweet! An umbreon and an espeon! *fantasizes photos*
-
Change of plans, I'm going to be Corosla.
-
Sweet! An umbreon and an espeon! *fantasizes photos*
Don't be fantasizing anything dirty now >3>

Friend and I are already doing that. xD

If anyone knows of a good way to tint steel on a budget (11 pink, 14 blue), I can do Skarmory. I've got about 40 square feet of 26 gauge steel and wouldn't mind putting it to use.
My Skarmory used to be in my Silver tournament party until I discovered the versatility of Dragonite. I still sometimes use Skarmory when I really need a steel type, but usually I use Kadabra for Psychic and Dark, 3 Dragonites for Flying, Dragon, Fire, Water, Fighting, Grass, and Thunder, Tyranitar for ground, rock, poison, and water, and I leave the 6th slot open. Usually I can cover all but one or two elements. :>
-
I'm happy you might be joining in Charles. I'll get things updated on Tuesday after I go to the park and scope things out.
-
I figure it's acceptable for me because I'm treating it as a gaming cosplay.
I might also make it adaptable to be a Kushala Daora (http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc206/Lifegod1/lifegod1473b2700b6b76.jpg) armor cosplay (Monster Hunter). That way I could cosplay from 2 of my favourite video games. :> (I could probably also do Warlords with the same plates; do a Slayer Knight cosplay or something.)
-
That would be a good idea.
Also, I thought I'd tell you that Kyle mentioned at me doing Gijinka Monster Hunter cosplay. I'm slightly thinking about it.
And Piggles is my favorite thing in that game <3
-
Do White Fatalis. :D

Charlie man, will you be hot as balls in that. My god. Hope you don't die of heat stroke.
-
Well I hope he does. Then I can raid his body for organs and pay the rest of my way through college :D
Going to Washington Park today after class. I will find an excellent spot for us.
-
Double post that I might edit later if no one posts after me.
Found a good spot for us to meetup. I walked for awhile to find the place I originally liked but I figured it would not be fun to walk to in costume. I'll post up pictures/directions after I rest.
-
Like what kinda bad walking???
Like straight up a hill???
-
I doubt I'll walk there wearing everything. I'll probably just wear the gauntlets, greaves, and plate, then put on the shoulder plates, wig (if I don't just dye my hair; that's the colour I want anyway), tasset, and helm later.
-
-sneaks in-
I'm going to be doing a Skymin cosplay, and I'd love to go to this, but... I work on the twenty-second. At the Oregon Zoo, conveniently enough. If I somehow get the day off or get out of work early, I'll definitely go, though! I'd love to meet up with some of you people if you wouldn't mind me joining you.
-
No problem Arrow, the more Pokemon the merrier!
And I'm going to sit my ass down right now and get working on directions.
EDIT: Done! I got everyone in the list updated too. Let me know if I missed you/don't have the right Pokemon. And feel free to ask any questions about the area and such.
-
I'm still coming to this for sure as jigglypuff. :3 I hope she looks okay. :<
-
Ok so does anyone know how to make ears and a tail???
My cosplay is going to be a Shiny Umbreon and I have no idea how to start the ears
-
For the ears, I'd use felt around a thick wire frame. Copper wire tends to be both firm and malleable, so I'd use that. With the angling of the ears, you probably want to make the wire frame so that it sits with a wide base on your head, and build it into the wig if you're using one. (I don't know how you'll do the costume without one) A headband would probably slip a lot.
-
Ahh ha, I was there yesterday. I'm leaning more towards dragonair than Glaceon
-
sooo wish i could go to this.T____T
-
A head band won't slip too much if you don't a buy a crappy one Griff. Just make sure to color it the same color as your wig/hair. You can even you a really thick interfacing on the inside of the ear to help hide the appearance of the wire inside the ears (It will also make them nice and stiff). I'd stay away from felt if you have any sewing skills, it just looks a little tacky in my opinion. Broadcloth and cotton has a verity of colors and works really nice with accessories and such. Also, copper wire is excellent for stuff like this as Tofu said. You can get it at Home Depot for about 18 cents a foot depending on the thickness of the gauge.
As for the tail, you can look up tutorials on the internet on how to make a Halloween cats tail and base it on that.

Ok well i was not thinking of a headband or a wig. I was going to us a hoodie and sew the ears into that. as for the tail i was just going to make that from scratch. although I could put a headband into the hood so i could attach the wire to something besides my head XP
-
I'd like to go! I'll be dressed as a Team Rocket Espeon.
I probably wont get to go to the con though T ^T
-
I've decided on Dragonair, since I love Dragonair much more than I do Glaceon.
-
I might do Lairon instead of Skarmory. Hair colour and length is right and I wouldn't have to go through the hell of trying to stain steel pink. D:
-
Ya and is staining steel even possable ???
-
Well, you coulda painted it with a paint for stained glass :0 Not sure how well that would work though.
-

I am going to try this. Where could one get such paint?
-
Most craft stores have it next to their other paints :3 I've even seen it at Joanns. Just look for one that says 'glass' or 'transparent' or something.
-
Awesome, thanks!
Jameson, you can totally use some of this for your glasses. I think the pink would be the right color, and it would look TOTALLY pro. :>
-
THE GLASSES ARE RED
ARE YOU BLIND CHARLES?
-
Well, I could probably use a red paint. I imagine a lot of color would be lost when painting on steel because it's a much denser surface, so it won't absorb nearly as much. Pink might be too pale anyway.
-
I meant for Jamesons glasses :p
-
I guess I need to get some Dollar store glasses
-
I meant for Jamesons glasses :p
I'm aware of this.
I'm just saying; saving money is rational. Much more important that looking dead-accurate, especially when cosplay is probably around 3000 on my list of priorities in life.
-
I'm on a master quest...to pull together a cosplay of the unsung trainer, Yellow. I'm also going to add accessories to make the cosplay convertible to a custom Pikachu.
-
Well good luck with that jason
-
Might not wind up having time to worry about trying to get a cosplay together for this/the con. Some other things have popped up which take priority, and I'm not going to have much free time this summer.
-
I may end up doing my Team Magma instead of Dragonair, Team Magma's missing the skirt and legwarmers. while Dragonair's missing the tail and wings, I'm not really up for making a tail.
-
Oh I was hoping to see a dragonair. But a magma grunt would be cool to
-
Well, I could do Magma with Dragonair's wings :3
-
That would look funny but interesting
-
K gaiz, it's almost August and I'm thinking we should figure out a set time for this. I'm open to all options, but I'm thinking that 11 would be good. What does everyone think?
-
11 is fine with me, just please no earlier. We're a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive, so if you could keep it a little latish, that would be nice.
My friends Irene and Erin will be coming with me, just so you could add them to the list and they will be welcome (not that they wouldn't be)
Erin- Umbreon
Irene- Vulpix (not the one from this specific gejinka group)
-
I want to come! Must find a ride though. I'm just about an hours drive away but if you factor in traffic and the fact that I couldn't navigate Portland even if it was tattooed to the back of my hand... keeping it "late-ish" would be wonderful.
So yes, I think 11am would be alright. =)
-
Ya 11 would work.
@ Sound ninja: Hey do you think i could hitch a ride with you??? lol or i could drive up sence i am going
-
I guess you could.
Or the three of us could ride with you.
I'll have to ask parents though (whomever's parents end up driving).
Probably.
-
Anytimes good, I'll be using Trimet to get there.
-
I guess you could.

Ok just let me know when you find out
-
I'll ask before friday, so I'll tell ya then
-
I'll ask before friday, so I'll tell ya then
ok thanks ^_^
-
Wait, are you guys coming from Central Oregon?
-
yep ;D
-
Jesus, I want to make this meetup excellent now so it's not a wasted trip for ya'll.
-
dont worry i am sure it will be great. it should be worth the 2 and a half to 3 hour drive lol ;D
-
Glad to be your inspiration!
Not that it wouldn't have been great anyways, because it would.
-
11 works for me. Not too early, not too late, so I'll check with my large group. ^_^;
-
Ok but boogiepop would there be anything that i could bring for this???
-
So I'm pretty sure I'll be able to go to this as Beautifly, and hopefully I can drag along a friend who likes photography.
-
Cool fluer, people who are photanshooters are cool with me.
And as for things to bring, some lunch for yourself if you can. I would say we could all provide foods but there are just too many people planning on going for me to want to figure that out. Bring your cosplay too of course.
-
11 seems good. I'll probably show up later because I'm like that. >_>
-
Just fyi Nikki, my username is spelled Fleur, like flower in French.
-
So would blankets be ok??? but that is only if i can remember lol
-
I have secured transportation!!! I am definitely going to be there. ^_^
-
Looking at next week's schedule, and considering how hot it's been for the last couple weeks, I'm going to drop this from my plans. It's simply not feasible and valuable enough to me to try to make happen. Maybe some other con/year/time. :/

Cries...
-
I have just found out that I will be camping on the date this is happening! I am sad to inform, but I must drop-out of this event.
-
I'm still A-okay to come, I'll bring a blanket. And I will be going as Team Magma Dragonair, it's a secret who I'm pulling it off though :3
Pein, sad day is sad
-
Sorry Pein, but have fun campin'!
-
Ugh needs to hurry up an get here... Nothing to do
-
You can always play video games, or super prepare for college, if you're really that bored.
Can't wait!
Corsola dress doesn't look too great at the moment... but I'll get it right!
-
@Soundninja: Ya still think you should try what i told you for your dress it should work
-
I will, I'm just being lazy right now.
I'm all tired and stuff from the meet up, and it's too hot to do anything!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MOVING THE MACHINE!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!
-
LOL yup anytime SGT.
-
I have photographer that can come also! She want to come as Pikachu fan, haha.
Most of the group will be providing own lunch I believe, but we could bring something-- What is needed, ~boogiepop~?
-
Hmmm, I'm not that sure. I mean everyone is covering their own food, bring like a towel or a blanket if you can, because I don't know how many we can bring (my boyfriend and I need to be warm that night D:), we'll probably bring one of them sun umbrellas because we can, I can't really think of anything else. Just bring costumes and attacks for battling each other or something.
Also, official time is 11.

Alright. And sorry for my previous post, haha. It was late, and my english became poor. ^_^;
We could probably bring a sun umbrella as well. And I am prepared for battle with my magical spoon! >:D
-
I'm excited to see your Kadabra! My favorite Pokemon were always Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam (being my favorite <3). I wanted to cosplay Alakazam but I suck at wigs and that one looked scary. So yay! Someone doing one of my favorites!
-
Ah-- That makes me happy to hear. ^_^;
Also worries me that I might do bad >x<;
-
Kadabra??? =D That is so awesome!!!!!!!!!
Er, and those who burn easily do appreciate sun umbrellas. >> *hugs you sun umbrella owning people*
o.O The oddest thing just occurred to me... do you put sunscreen on before or after things like kryolan?? I use the spray on kind if that makes a difference. Anyone have an idea?
EDIT: And I just realized - I BURN easily and I'm cosplaying a grass/poison pokemon? Oh, it was fate. XD
-
Wow that sucks Mei long
I never really had to use sun screen cause I rarely burn
So sorry cant help ya there
-
The paint would cause it to not burn right? I remember going to the fair and getting little painted tattoo's on myself and having my whole back burned, but when the paint would wash off it would be fine underneath.
-
Really? Wow, I guess it does make sense for paint to protect your skin... okay, but what about the rest of my skin, I wonder. Haha, I will go do some research on this! Thanks all. XD
-
Oh! Oh! Does anyone have any objections to me bringing some homemade cupcakes with pokeball decorations? I love baking, so it would be no problem to me. ^_^ Just as long as people ate them. Please tell me what flavor you like!
Maybe I could do special request ones too? Ones with your Ginjika Pokemon? Baking so fun!
-
xD I don't see why not~
-
I'll most likely have some parasol's, at least one. And I also have a picnic blanket I can bring. Its pretty big and colorful. =D
-
Daw, that would super cute eternal-spring! Pokeball cupcakes, I have fuzzy feelings on the inside because of that now. As for flavors, I like vanilla cake.
And yes, if you can bring blankets, please do. My boyfriend and I will be bringing 2 or 3, but the more room we have for people to sit, the better.
-
Daw, that would super cute eternal-spring! Pokeball cupcakes, I have fuzzy feelings on the inside because of that now. As for flavors, I like vanilla cake.
Okay~! ^o^ Any other flavor I should bring? Some sort of chocolate maybe?
--and my just to say ahead of time now-- my kadabra outfit is different from the one in the picture ^_^;;; Hopefully it's okay looking.
EDIT: And I noticed that my boyfriend isn't on the list on page one. ^_^;;; He's going as Electabuzz. Username: Pajamurai
There is also a possibility of me bringing TWO more friends. One would bring her awesome camera and camera skills and go as a Pikachu Fanatic... (Mi-chan, no account). There is also the cutest boy you'll ever see that might go (Momiji, no account). Not sure what Momiji would possibly go as. Might just hang out?
-
Eternal-spring, the cupcakes sound sooooo cute! I look forward to seeing them! .... <_< >_> ... I like chocolate, but vanilla is fine too. =D
And~! I have learned that when applying sunscreen and face/body paint you apply the sunscreen first, let it dry, and then paint! Thought I'd share that discovery. ^.^
-
okay. I'll make a chocolate and a vanilla batch and make lots of pokeball
and be the pokemon master!
I also thought of something else I could do... so... um.. If anyone has a Pearl, Diamond, or Platinum game, I can give everyone a legit Spiritomb or Phione or something... since those are breedable.. >x>;;;
-
I have Spiritombs! They have awesome egg moves. Their father's a Dusknoir.
I can also give out Mystery Eggs of completely badass things.
Anyway, whoo boy, the 22nd. That'll be interesting, since it ups the completion date for my Hayley costume (currently completed--uh...I have the makeup to do the beauty mark. So 1%?).
-
Wait, I thought it was the 30th?
I don't think I can come if it's the 22nd, because I was gonna go to the august general meeting.
Well, that sucks.
-
Haha, it's a good idea to bring our games! I will definitely bring mine. >D
Wow, everything is falling on the 22nd! o_O; Even with me Salem Pride was happening but I am going to the meet up instead.
Gah, why must the 22nd be a popular day? It's taking all our pokemanz. >>;
Eternal-Spring: Don't throw the cupcakes at us! They won't catch us, I promise, they're not real pokeballs!! XD ... Though... they could be used as bait, haha.
-
Eternal-Spring: Don't throw the cupcakes at us! They won't catch us, I promise, they're not real pokeballs!! XD ... Though... they could be used as bait, haha.
Shh... you're not supposed to know I use for bait... >_> <_<
* insert evil laugh *
-
...I'll say it's taking all our pokemanz. It's also the day of one of the Supreme Victors prerelease tournaments (the latest card set, has Frontier Brains and Cyrus v Cynthia).
Is there any way to change this to some later date? Even the 23rd? Or an evening picnic during the week sometime?
-
I was going to be Todd, if I could find red poofy hair. Now I'm wondering if I can get my Yellow version Pikachu done in time.
-
It might be able to change, what's a better date for everyone? If the general consensus wants to change it or doesn't care if it's changed I suppose that's what we can do.
-
I would like to have it changed but i dont know what day yet
-
The 22nd is the only day I have free then, so I'd prefer it not to change.
-
I'm good with the 22nd. I wouldn't be able to go on the 23rd, because I have work. The 21st might work, though. But yeah, my vote is to leave it as is.
-
I have started my vulpix!
-
Yeah, the only weekend I would be free to do it is the weekend it is planned on. Since it was going to be then I made plans around it. And weekdays wouldn't work for me since my work and school days start at 8 in the morning and go to 10 in the evening from Tues-Friday. And Mondays I'm a figure model at night, so my life is pretty packed full of junk.
-
Well I work on the weekends usually and I want to work as much so I have money for kumoricon.
so i dont think i will be able to make it for this event
-
Well, you can't please everyone. 'Sides, there's something planned for nearly every weekend now, so there isn't much room for change.
-
Yeah, I'm sorry for the people this won't work out for but any other date really isn't gonna work with my schedule at this point. And it would be strange if the person planning it wasn't able to attend.
-
No it is ok dont worry about it i just see it as something i can just miss. plus I will have more money for the con if i do it this way
-
And either way, you are always more then welcome to come to the Pokemon meetup at con!
-
dont worry i was plaining on it
-
To anyone who has a facebook, I made a little event thing so it's easier to keep track of folks.
http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/event.php?eid=109610341761&ref=nf (http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/event.php?eid=109610341761&ref=nf)
-
I will try very hard to make it, I'm just not sure if I can.
Maybe if I work really hard, my Mom will drive me down as a favor.
I really want to come, so I will try very hard to make it.
So it's at 11:00?
So I'll try and make it, I just might have to leave early so I can make it to the August General meeting.
-
I hope you can make it, soundninja! ^^
Ooooh facebook, how I forget to log into thee... haha.
SageBell - I have gooooot to get a picture of you! Vulpix is my boyfriend's favorite pokemon ever. =D
-
I hope you can make it too soundninja. I want to see Corsola so badly D: I'm sorry the time of this is not allowing some people to go.
-
I'm re-making it.
The dye screwed it up, so I'm just making it entirely out of fabric.
Damn the dye.
-
Crap. I'll have to miss the prerelease then. Good thing there's another one *this* weekend.
-
Yeah, facebook! I joined the event.
Last night I made the patterns for the detail on Beautifly's wings, and I cut out the first set. The most frustrating part is that I have to cut and sew everything four times.
-
That sucks.
I'm just waiting for my mom to get home so I can get fabric. That would make me happy.
-
I may tag along to this, as Gloom~!
And, if my friend is done with her Gijinka by then, I'll bring either a Zigzagoon or a Teddiursa with me. ^^
-
Sounds good to me :)
Boogie, have you ever realized how many people are doing Gijinkas? Seriously, like half of the people on forums are! More than half! Then most of us are bringing friends with Gijinkas! Holy jesus! At con there is going to be this giant Pokemon group. We might even compete with the Naruto group in numbers!!
-
Alright!!! I can see it now
Pokemon Gijinka VS. Naruto!
A fight to the end, who will win
-
Pokemon Gijinka will pawn the Narutards! =O
-
HAHA someone agrees
-
We shall win. DUH!
-
So it turns out that I'm leaving for the beach this day. However, my mom is willing to postpone the time that we leave for a couple of hours so that I can go to this. About how long will it be? I don't need an exact time, just a rough estimate.
-
Pokemon has always been and will forever be better then Naruto. Then again, that isn't a very difficult thing to get over.
On Facebook I said it would be until 2 fleur. I'm glad you'll still be able to come!
-
I'm so psyced to go to this. HOORAY! IT'S SO SOON!
-
Oh wow, I'm dumb XD My mom says I can stay until 1, but that might change depending on who is driving me back. I'll probably end up leaving early, though.
Who all is bringing their Pokemon games? I'll be bringing my DS and Diamond version :D
-
My dog ate mine... :(
Maybe I'll buy platinum and play everyday until the meet up.
I'll try!
I can do this, no?
-
hey sarge you know i have two of them right
i could just trade them over and you can borrow mine till you get a new one
-
That would be great, but I think I'll go to Target and get myself a platinum. Irene has my favorite pokemon on her Diamond (traded it to her right before) and maybe I could just transfer and be good.
That would make me happy.
-
Caraaap. I might not be able to come. I may be at Jesi's on that day
-
I'll be bringing mine.. I have 2 pearls.. and a platinum somewhere... ;_; I really need to find platinum for the darkrai event.
even though i have 2 legit ones already
-
I'll bring Pearl and Platinum, but I haven't played Platinum since May (goddamn characterization distortion)
-
ya i know what you mean black jack i just got to victory road lol
-
i'm going to be Flygon i only have to do the tail so i'm almost done :)
-
UPDATING THINGS AFTER I CLEAN.
I just realized this is in a week, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
And glad you are joining us stardust :D
-
So what all should we bring? And again, how long is it going to be?
-
I said earlier in the thread to bring whatever you'll thing you will need. And of course, bring a lunch if you are planning to stay for lunchies.
And I figured it would go as long as it went, since people tend to hang out places longer then it goes at most of the meetups I go to. But if I had to set a time, 2.
-
And bring your cameras 'cause we're gonna get crazy, yo! You're gonna want documentation of this. B)
Haha, no, really, we're not gonna get crazy. We're gonna be respectable pokemanz of society... but on the inside, quietly, we crazy. ;)
-
Ya screaming "Wild "insert pokemon name here" appeared!!!)
-
Um, this is gonna be my first time to Kumoricon so I don't know much about the location of the photoshoot but if anyone is willing to help me out and take me there I would appreciate it a lot. And you can also put me down as the confirmed Brock cosplayer
-
Yay another human!
Imma bring tuna salad for everyone.
-
@Brock- Hey there, glad to here you can join up. Just to make sure though, are going to come to this or just the Pokemon Gathering at con? This is happening next Saturday as a meetup. The thread for the actual Pokemon Gathering at con is this way >http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=9819.0 (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=9819.0).
And sorry if I am mistaken~
And jesus, I friggin' love tuna (and when I say love, I mean I eat 3-5 cans of it a week). You will be my favorite person ever Blackjack.
-
I am sooooooo stoked for this!!!!
... yuuuuum, Feebas salad? Haha. (Was gonna use Magikarp but they're more like Salmon... 'cause I remember some episode long ago where they were swimming upstream or something. XD)
-
*cuts off own foot*
I can't make it.
-
I'm sorry! D= No need to cut off your foot! ... Or maybe there's a euphanism here I am not understanding...
There is always the photoshoot at the convention though! =)
-
So who's bringing stuff to trade or sell? I'm going to bring a modest backpack of things from my sales journal.
-
For once, I'm happy I lied. I can make it!
YESH!
I thought I wasn't going to be able to, but I can! So, yay!
If I had anything I would.
@ Boogie.
I have 2 friends that plan on attending, as absol and female suicune.
-
YAY Sgt gets to go lol
-
yep!
Love your new avatar btw!
-
lol thx
-
oops, my bad. Sadly I can only make it to the one at the con, but I'll still need help to find the place when the time comes.
-
That is fine sir. We are going to be meeting on con grounds and then moving to the place we will be taking photos so you will have lots of people to show you~ :D
-
I'm with Eternal-Spring, and I'm gonna be Marowak :D
-
I tried to do an update. Everyone post if I forgot you and I'll add you ASAP.
Also my boyfriend is not going to come with me now. He decided to make camping plans and decided I was going along too. But fret not, I told him to shove it in a loving way and I'll still be coming. But this leaves us with less blankets and no umbrella now since I lack a car. So anyone who can bring extra blankets would be ballin'.
Also, please excuse my scatter brained organizing and lack of doing things quickly. I'm going to school full time, working two part time jobs, and work way too long on my homework so that leaves less time then desired to plan this. But I'm going to try my best to make sure that this is fun for everyone.
I was thinking we should get some games going on though! Maybe have a Pokemon tag game where we throw a soft ball at each other like a Pokeball and if you get hit you are out. Or hide and seek would be cute too! Any other ideas are welcome! I'll try to plan those out for us, though all I could participate in would be Hide and Seek, I'm in fear of flashing people in my costume, haha.
-
i like the dodge ball idea but to make it better sence we have trainers they can be the ones to throw the "pokeballs" and if you are hit you are caught.
-
If we weren't in cosplay I would soooo suggest the version of hide and seek called Sardines. It's so fun!!!
Also, if anyone has cards there's like, 5,000 card games that could be played if folks get tired of running around. =) Plus, I adore hide and seek... might be hard with my bulb though, darn thing protruding from my back. >>;
The only thing I'd be worried about with games like hide and seek, tag, and dodge ball is that we do not become a public disturbance. ^^
-
I agree, though I'm not sure how big of a disturbance we can cause since we are in a park. We would be moving far away from the Veterans Memorial though. And I think Hide and see would be cute since you could see parts of our Pokemon costumes poking out XD Also, for dodgeball/tag one rule would be SOFT THROWS.
-
I would fear for my coral :(
-
I tried to do an update. Everyone post if I forgot you and I'll add you ASAP.
Me as Hayley. I finally got the shirt (well, *A* shirt anyway)! Now I need to get the vest assembled and picked up, and find a way to tint my sunglasses.
Anyway, as stated, I'll be bringing some things to sell/trade including some possible cosplay items. BUT I DO NOT WISH TO BE ALONE IN THIS ENDEAVOR.
-
Ok so me and a friend got bored and made some pokeballs out of POOF balls
here is a few pics of what we did
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi425.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fpp338%2Fgriffthedragoon%2FIMG00021.jpg&hash=dd29b7877f399425df4bec7a6ceb9f42a6c5a1f1)

Yes they are soft so i dont think they would hurt at all if we decided to play a little pokemon dodge ball
-
Ok, I'm going to bring a bunch of un-frosted cupcakes and dub them poffins.
Me, Irene, and Erin could make some pokeballs when we're just sitting around. We're having a big sleepover the day before, so we could stay up late painting pokeballs.
:)
-
@Griff- So you are coming again now? Also cute pokeballs.
-
@_@ OH MY GOSH THOSE ARE SO RIDICULOUSLY CUTE!!!!!! *hugs the Master Ball* Master Ball has a special place in my heart. >>;
-
@Griff- So you are coming again now? Also cute pokeballs.
Yes i will be
i live about 30 min away from soundninja so i am hitching a ride with her
-
mmmmmhhhhmmmm
That's the plan anyways.
Our car is gonna look insane. Pokeballs, poffins, and poke-block in our trunk XD, and an Umbreon, Suicune, absol and corsola in the cab. lol.
-
How far away from the station are we meeting? Washington Park's a big place and I'm not sure exactly where this place is.
-
Please check the first post, all of the information is there along with pictures to help you find your way.
-
Cannot wait!
-
I'm now tempted to bring some berries. I'll talk to my ride to see if we could stop by New Seasons or something.
-
That'd be great!
This is gonna be great!
A real Poke-party!
-
Ya i just hope we dont scare the people at the park... but then again that would be funny
we could have boogiepop chase them with her fact fangs
-
So I'm trying my hardest to switch shifts at work so I can be there with you guys. It wouldn't be a Pokemon party if we didn't have the three original cast members XD
-
At this point I don't know if I'm able to go. My ride dropped out on me at the last second, and I'm trying to find some way to get there and a friend to go with me.
I'm really trying to go, but if I can't, I hope you guys have fun.
-
Sorry fleur, if we could give you a ride, we would :(
But do we have an ash and misty?
-
well doofer is ash and idk about misty. i have a friend that cosplays as misty but idk if whe will be taking it with her this year to the con
-
Where do you live Fluer? There's a -slight- chance my boyfriend might still go. If he does I'll be like "MY FRIEND! PICK HER UP NOW!".
And as far as I know Doofer isn't coming, or at least she hasn't posted in this thread.
Also, looks like we're going to have a lovely sunny day on the 22nd with highs at 78 degrees and with a 0% chance of precipitation. I was really worried we were going to get rained on so I'm glad the weather looks good. But remember kids, umbrellas and sunscreen!
-
Ya so we still need blankets right
-
Yus, bring one for your group for sitting times and if you want to bring an extra, then by all means go ahead.
-
ok can do
-
I live all the way out in Tigard. If you could drive me, Nikki, that would be hugely helpful. I only need a ride to the meet, not one back.
-
I'll see what boyfriend says and get back to you. Again slight chance since boys love camping more then pokemon D:

You were worried about rain? I was worried about it being 90+ degrees while we were wearing cosplay! Makeup + Wig + Accessories = not fun in hot weather.
So I am verrrry happy that it's just gonna be 78... and the 0 chance of rain is cool too. >w>;
SUNSCREEEEEEEN!!!!!!!! This is really important, I must remember it. x_X; I will also be bringing sunscreen with me (but I don't have a lot so try and remember your own) so if anyone does need some - ask! Better to ask than be burned.
-
I'd really love it if you could give me a ride. If all else fails I can bus, but the bus that goes by my house is really unreliable and I might be late.
-
I'll see what boyfriend says and get back to you. Again slight chance since boys love camping more then pokemon D:
ya not me lol i dont like the outdoors that much
-
Are you going to be staying for the whole time Fluer or do you still need to leave with your family early?
-
I'm going to be leaving early. At first my mom said that staying until 1 would be fine, but now she's changed it to noon. I'm pushing for 12:30, but we'll see.
I would chat with you in MSN, but it's being weird and won't log me in today.
-
I won't be able to get on until I'm home from work at 6 or so, so if you can get it to work then I'll talk to you about it tonight.
-
I'm bringing myself a pink towel to sit on.
I think that's appropriate.
-
This is gonna be sick!!! I'm so glad I'm gonna be able to join you guys on Saturday. I'm trying to convince my Friend to tag along too cause I'll go insane if I have to drive 9 hours all by myself. Let's make this Meeting LEGENDARY!!!
-
Nine hours? Holy crud, man.
-
Oh jesus, put more pressure on me to make this amazing. Oh god, I must think of more activites...
-
well boogiepop the reason i made the pokeballs was for the pokemon dodge ball. they are soft and i can find some other stuff if you need help
-
>_< is so not ready. see yous at con
-
Last day rush. D,: I am making four* outifts in one day--shoot meee!!!!
(please don't, haha)
*Lugia, Ho-Oh, Cresselia, and Marrowak
-
Go go go!
Bah, I can't belive this is tomorrow. Drive save everyone who is coming from far away.
-
Just got my ride made! Although if they come at the beginning of the window, I'll be there SUPER early.
By the way, I may not have my vest yet. The girl who's making it hasn't gotten back with me about where to pick it up.
Also, don't forget to bring some things for swap! And charge your DSes too! I've got a legit Arceus for tradebacks and I know a lot of people want a piece of that action.
-
Oh jesus, put more pressure on me to make this amazing. Oh god, I must think of more activites...
Don't put too much pressure on yourself! There's always conversatin' to be had - *gasp* - I know, talking, it exists!!! I just found out eight minutes ago and it was the most magical thing I have ever experienced. T^T;
... Yes, that was all sarcasm. Well, except the 'don't stress yourself out' part. XD
I am very excited for this! Aaaand, last night at my youth group I wore the red contacts (with full permission from eye doctor man, huzzah) and they're like, the most comfortable things ever. I wore them for 7 hours and didn't feel a thing!!! My contacts from back in middle school/high school were the hard kind for astigmatism and they got uncomfortable within 2 hours! And it was SO much fun taking them out too, I got to pluck them off my eye - it was trippy!!! XD
[/end weird contact lense rant]
Crap, and I can't find my DS charger... Might not be bringing it if I can't charge it, gaaaah.
-
yup i will berings my pokemans with me
cant wait to see everyones cosplays XD
-
I'll be bringing my DS :'D
It seems most likely that I'll be able to go, and I'll be bringing two friends with me. One of them will take pictures, and another will be cosplaying, as far as I know.
-
Okay so I don't know exactly when I'm gonna get there. bus 31 takes forever to pick up. :< and trimet says it'll take an hour to get there. lol But I'll try to be there around 11. XD
-
Take tons of pictures, guys! I want you to make me jealous of what I missed! (Won't be hard.. but still!) O:<
Sorry I couldn't come. T~T
I'll try to make it to the photoshoot at con.
-
I've got everything ready and my route planned out.
Bus 88 > BTC > MAX > Washington Park.
-
okay so now I need to know. I could get a ride to my first bus stop at the TC but then When all is said and done I'd be at the park around 10. Is there anyone that will be showing up that early?
-
sorry i wont be.
i have a 2 and a half to 3 hour drive so we my be there about 10:30 or in between there
-
That's still early enough. 030 I won't be alone for an hour at least. T_T
-
Fantastic. I have work tomorrow at eleven o'clock. ;-;
I wish I started at noon so I could at least take a few pictures of you guys before going into the zoo! D8
I hope you guys have an amazing time!
-
Sorry you can't come Arrow!
And I go to bed now~ You all have a lovely night and I will see you tomorrow. Remember foodies and blankets!
-
yay it is today!!! *happy dance*
down side my group has a 2 and a half or 3 hour drive -.-'
oh well totally worth it
-
I'm excited! I have my costume laid out and everything :D
-
I'm getting ready right now~
I'll see you all soon!
-
* has been sewing all night * V_V;
Might not be able to bring cupcakes/cakes. We'll see. I'm trying my best!
--and We're all bringing our ds', and i have a ds surprise for those who brought pokemon. ^_^
-
And I'm all ready to head out the door.
See yall in a few.
-
I'm all dressed and ready, and my ride should be here soon. I'm so excited!
-
We are on our way. We may be alittle late but we will be no later then 11 20
-
Take pictures for me. C:
And have fun everyone, I'm so jealous. ;3
<3
-
Hey! Just got back from the event and had a good time. I'm currently uploading/editing some photos so I'll have a link up eventually.
-
Hey guys! I wanted to say thanks for a wonderful event! I'm sorry we all before you guys were done but my boyfriend was feeling sick. That was super excellent though, I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
Also to whoever brought the pokeball cake for me: That was the sweetest thing ever. Thank you so much, it really meant a lot to me. I'm so sorry that we were leaving by the time you came but please tell me who you and your friends are! I'm going to make something to give to you guys after con is over.
More update, uploads, and such later. I have to take care of the tired pokemon I took to my house.

Great pictures though Maki, I'm really happy you came :>

Great pictures though Maki, I'm really happy you came :>
In one of them, I noticed it looked like you were about to burst into tears or something. O.o
You have a really expressive face.
THIS ONE!

Cuuute!
Although guys, I have to say, it really upset me when you all walked away from me at once. I mentioned earlier that I have leg problems and couldn't find the inserts to my shoes, so I could barely walk, and when I asked if anyone wanted to stay with me at the bottom of the hill, you all turned away at once without a word, and that just hurt. And we'd been having a good time before that so I know it probably wasn't anything personal, but still. It's a medical problem (and before anyone brings it up because I hear it all the time, it happened when I was at my ideal weight), and climbing hills is difficult for me even *with* the inserts--without them, it's damn near impossible.
Just...yeah. Good thing the con shoot will be on flat land.
So, Suicunegirl and some guy whose name I didn't catch--you wanted me to bring some stuff from the backpack to the con, right? The Brock's Vulpix card and "anything with Mudkips"?
Oh yeah! And someone hadn't heard of my character, so this is Hayley (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hayley)!
-
Agh god! I love the photos that I'm seeing so far. This really was an amazing event. <3 I just got home because I got side tracked while downtown. >_> I went and bought some things at the sanrio store because I'm addicted. (and I secretly found 20 bucks in my pocket) magical day or what?
Totally fun when people kept randomly showing up. I can't wait for con when I can see everyone else that wasn't there today. ^_^
-
@DemonSpawn- I was watching someone kill a dog. No, I was probably listening to someone. Haha, I look like I'm a baby.
-
This was a huge success.
Now I just need to find some good pictures of me.
-
Go to facebook. I tagged some of you.
-
@Boogie *hopes this isn't creepy* You have really pretty eyes! O.o
I love looking at people's eyes, to me, they're the most expressive part of someone's face.
-
@Demonspawn- Haha, it isn't creepy and thank you~ That's really sweet of you to say :>
-
Hey everyone it is griff lol I have a facebook idk how it works but my name is ted griffin if you ant to look for me. We had fun and can't wait for the photoshoot I won't be posting the picture. Soundninja will be doing that. And love the pics so far

It was fun!

Hiiiiiiiiiiii! I just got home. Holy crap, Nikki, we took a right when we should have taken a left and ended up in Aloha and all these other weird places. XDDD Finally we backtracked to one place and sure enough, like, a few blocks from where we SHOULD have taken a left were signs for Salem, haha. Getting lost sure is enlightening.
Now I am home, extremely tired, and uploading pictures!! I can't wait to look at everyone elses too!!! I am definitely taking my hoody in though, it's so big, and I am thinking of being more dramatic with the makeup too. Decisions decision~
I had a wonderful time, thank you everyone, I hope to see you at con!
-
You left my house at the wrong time Mei, we started watching Zombie Strippers after you left :D
And wearing Victreebel to the meetup make me realize I have to fix some things to make it wearable for con.

Oh, like what?
I need to make Hayley's vest smaller. Ranch vests are really short and they don't connect in the front.
-
Make it so my boobs are constantly falling out of the dress. One of the snaps came off of the leaves too.
-
Not good nikki. Well hope you get that fixed soon.
And we are almost home it is 10:15 pm and I am the first stop. Wow took us longer to get home then up to the meet up lol. Sad
-
Uploaded my photos! Photobucket is screwy and is like "we're gonna put them in random order!" ... I tried to fix it as much as possible but some stuff is still a little mixed around, so don't expect perfection in the chronology department, haha!

I enjoy that photo very much. XD

P.S. the uploaded pictures are great!!!
-
Griff - No big on the name thing, I am horrible with names as well. Haha. My name is Ren. =)
And that picture freakin' rules, oh man, thanks to you and to Brock (see, I can't remember names either, oiy) for pulling that one off!!!
Okay, I think I can finally go to bed. Night ya'll. <3
-
@Boogipop
That was me that made the cake. I hope it was okay. ^_^;;; I was glad I got to see you though!
I haven't been able to look at pictures yet, just reply quickly-- have another thing to do today. >_<;
-
@Ren: ya lol finally someone else. and glad me a brock (andrew) can be of service
-
agreed
-
@eternal-spring- The cake was great! And seriously, thanks again. That was so nice of you to do that and the cake was cute~ I hope you guys had fun for what you came for. I heard the meet went until 5.
Did anyone else get sunburned? I should have listened to my own advice. My shoulders got hit pretty bad and my chest area is terrible. That's what I get for dressing like a skank I suppose, haha.
-
@Nikki
(its weird putting nukka to me) lol you weren't dressed like a skank. There are much more revealing cosplays. XD
I think I got a little sunburnt on my cheeks. I got home with a little redness and their a bit sensitive but not much.
btw these are all some amazing pictures. I'm sad I missed the dodge ball/sharks and minnows, those pictures are hilariously awesome. ^_^
-
I'll be uploading mine soon.
I have 6 shots that I consider amazing, and worth going in to the amazing cosplay pictures thread.
Directly after you guys left, we got the second wind of Pokemon cosplayers.
There was an Alakazam, Marowak, Flygon, and tochick (I think?). I got an amazing picture of the flygon, I really love it.
Also, I got a great one of Tofu being a wild pokemon.
I was super happy to have met all of you, and I cannot wait to see everyone at con. This is definitely going to be one of the best kumoricons!
-
Also, I got a great one of Tofu being a wild pokemon.
;D I try. lol I was happy to hang with you, you were one awesome chick. And
I'm still so happy from yesterday. Good times all around.

Thank you :)
and I know. I'm sitting at mt computer, still happy.
Is nice, is nice.
Does anyone know why my photos have been uploading on photo bucket for about 2 hours and are only at 11%. I don't think I have that many!
-
Well, if they are full size that might be why. I usually try to make the pictures smaller before I photobucket them. But they really shouldn't be taking that long.
About how many do you have?
-
heh.
I had more than I thought I did.
And I didn't have time to make them any smaller.
More like, I have a lot of pictures, and it would probably take hours to shrink them.
So, once they're done, I'll post a link to the site.
-
did you do bulk uploader? I tend to forget about it when I'm uploading and the regular uploader can only handle like 10 images really quickly. :< just stating if that might be the case. :3
-
@boogiepop: hey i just relized something lol we didn't have an expression face off
-
Remember, we are going to do that at con :D And post it on the forums afterward for votes~
-
i thought we were going to do it at the meet up like later that day
but that gives me time to warm up and practice
-
I'd like to watch you practice. lol.
-
I'd like to watch you practice. lol.
ok that works
-
I'm sorry if I laugh 'til I die. I guess it's a nice way to die.
-
I'm so excited to see your pictures soundninja~ I want to see the other people that came after we left again since I only got to see them for a brief moment before we left.
-
I'm one of the people who came right as you left. I'll be uploading photos 8D
EDIT: Photos here :D
http://s597.photobucket.com/albums/tt53/LD132/Poke%20Cosplay/
-
ya they were cool nikki you missed out on a lot more fun
-
I have to try uploading them again...
Plus, LD your Camera was incognito. I never saw you take a picture...
Skillz.
Sorry if I got a little pissy at the end of the meet up. Some guys kept laughing at me, and it was pissing me off...
-
Hahah. Indeed. Incognito. I'm a ninja!
-
Lets go with that... lol
Yes, you are ninja. You will make a very good peeping tom some day.
Jk JK
-
LD132 - Those pictures are soooooooo adorable!!!
soundninja - Have you tried using the automatic resize feature with the bulk uploader? There isn't the ability to choose what dimensions you want but their preset sizes are pretty good. You can also rotate images with it too before they're actually uploaded onto photobucket. That's what I tend to use to resize images and it's a pretty fast upload. I mean, I upload 80-200 pictures at a time and it doesn't take more than ten minutes.
I miss everyone!! And now I know to have some sorta sunblock-thing for my lips, they were the only part of me that got burned/chapped. o_O;
-
@ sgt: you should have said something i would had chased them down...
wow am i the only one that did not get burned???
-
I was fine, it's the central oregon air it stops us from getting burned. And I would have, but one of them was cute, and I didn't particularly want to smack him. Although it would have been fun.
@ Mei Long,
Thanks, I'll do that.
-
wow am i the only one that did not get burned???
I didn't get burned.
-
Griff - 1) I so woulda chased them down with you, even if I wasn't there somehow I woulda sensed it was goin' down and I woulda been there. D< 2) As far as being burned - you weeeere kinda covered head to toe. XD;
Eeeggs, cooking eeeeeggs, so huuungry...
Man, the pokemon meetup just like, invaded my facebook page last night. XD It's awesome and hilarious because most of my friends on there aren't familiar with cosplay so I wish I could see their faces when they see the pictures. (Darn Tag feature, haha!)
-
I didn't get many pictures of me taken, I was mostly taking pictures, and all of my friends know what cosplay is. They know that one of these days they're going to be dragged in to a set.
@Mei Long,
do you have a deviantart? I want to link to you on the photo's of you if you do.
-
I have a deviantart too. I'm uploading photos I took. If anyone objects to me uploading the photos I'll take theirs off.

-
I chose my top 6 photos, the ones that I love with a fiery passion.

Did you upload the others to photobucket?
-
I look so frazzled in LD132's pictures XD
Looks like you guys had fun though~ And yay! Kadabra pleases me forever.
In other news, another Pokemon meetup would be fun. Though I might try something that isn't going to be uncomfortable, like a Bedew or Alakazam.
-
I was sad that there wasn't an Ash there.
If there's another meet-up and I have time to throw something together, I might just go as him. Or Meowth :3
-
sound ninja - Yeah, I have a DA... it's tooootally not used, just keeps track of my subscriptions since I don't have a scanner to upload my art with, but I have one! XD I hope I'll get to fill it with stuff eventually.
My naked DA - http://ren383.deviantart.com/
Oh my gosh, and from that one pose folks got of me kneeling down (which was such a cool pose) tells me I neeeeed to take some of the extra fabric off that hoody, haha - it looks like I have boobs! Disturbing? Yes. Thank goodness taking something in is (supposedly) easy.
So many pictures from this event - it makes me haaaaaappeh! And even more excited for Kumoricon.
Side note: When cooking eggs fails Reese's cereal is a lifesaver. >>;
-
Thanks.
Ok, I'll upload them to photobucket now.
-
http://blackjackgabbiani.deviantart.com/ There's my dA if anyone wants it.
I'll have the pix on Photobucket shortly.
Anyway, I asked something to people, and it's very hard to ask when you don't know anyone's names. Who was our Suicune and who was the guy who wanted Mudkips? And what do you all think I should bring to the con for THAT swap? You know, a swap that'll actually happen this time?
-
Apparently no one got a good pic of me XD
-
I love all you guys!!! the pics are amazing and I'm trying to upload a slide show on youtube of the event I'll post the link when done
-
bah sorry I missed it. I spaced out on when it was.
-
Hey guys finally finished uploading the video on youtube here's the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaEKDKHVYNc
hope you like it
-
That video is so cute and a great commemorative for the event!!! Thank you for making it. =D
-
haha yay the epic fail for umbreon
love the vid
-
You weren't bad Griff, it was a good costume. BTW if your still wanting to do the BlazBlue my friend and I are willing to participate
-
cool lol well it wont be till 2010 so we have time to plan it all out
we should do another meet up like this at the con this year... what does everyone say???
-
I'm down for it
-
Then I'll be able to actually GO to that one. XP
-
hey guys just wondering if anyone can help me out. My friend just bailed on me for the convention so I'm room less for all three days. I can throw down easily 150 bucks to share a room but I can't do it alone. But if you have any info on room openings please tell me. hope to see you guys there!!!
Brock
-
Sorry Brock, I'm not even going to K-con.
-
Sorry.
I'll talk to all of my guy friends to see if they have a place for you.
-
haha yay the epic fail for umbreon
love the vid
Dude, don't even talk like that, your umbreon was freakin' adorable yet I could still see it coming outta the shadows of a dark alley to kick ass. XD
Good luck finding a room Brock!!! D= (Sorry I can't be of more help, can't take anyone else in this year).
-
Duh ren it is umbreon he is just that kick ass
-
That video is awesome. ^_^ I completely forgot about my photo bomb and here I am watching this video and then it pops up. Thank god I turned away before I could spit tea all over my computer. XD and I'm sorry the room problem occurred. I would offer you space but I'm not staying at the hotel I'm staying at my friends house so we can get ready together.
@Griff
Your Umbreon was freaking awesome. I enjoyed it so much, and its like the best costume because you could wear it anytime anywhere without looking or feeling silly. :)
-
Duh ren it is umbreon he is just that kick ass
Truer words have never been spoken.
-
D: I hope the pokemon thing at Kumo is better, *sulks* I hate not being able to go places.
-
Is ok demony *hugs*
And I love your umbreon Griff, it's perfect!
-
Thank you everyone. I am really glad my first cosplay I made was not a complete total fail. ^_^
-
Hey guys! Sorry I had to run off early! I've been out of town until today, but I just uploaded my pictures from the meet!

I did have fun. Met really cool people ^_^ Very glad to hear cake was good. After that cake my oven is no longer working. ,v_v,
I didn't get burned surprisingly--nor any kinds of attacks (ie: asthma and or allergies).. Although, I did get attacked by pokemon... D,:
Umbreon used Pursuit!
It's super effective!
Trainer Brock threw a Pokeball!
... ... ... !!
Kadabra was caught!

I shall name you commodore perry
-
haha Kadabra was add to the pokedex lol
-
kadabra was added to BOX 1 of BILL'S PC
-
But BOX 1 is now secretly full. You will have to change boxes to accomplish anything and if you catch anything else between now and then, you will be forced to release it and then Bill will laugh eeeeeevily from the Sea Cottage.
-
Corsola used double slap.
Bill fainted
-
and then something happened
brock relized he only had 5 pokemon so he just added kadabra to his belt
-
But Bill was already completely out of it, so in the end, it didn't really matter.
-
??????

lol
