Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
It's like listening to any pair of 11 year olds complain: Stupid, Pointless and Ear Bleedingly hilarious.
As we all know, Pokemon is serious business.
Who send all these babies to fight?!
A-ha! Ethan is a liar! Pokepizza couldn't have named his Psyduck "yellowducky" because that's 11 characters! Pokemon names have a limit of 10 characters!
….or…. or so I've heard.
You can't argue semantics when the game blatantly tells you that you can't rename a friend's Pokemon.
Dudeskull vs yellowducky
Kids this days and their naming conventions… That's why I always press B when I see "do you want to give a nickname to caught *"
But seriously, I lol'd when I read that thread
I wouldn't be surprised if he forgot an L by accident.
Someone be trippin balls.
wow…just.. wow. fear the nerd rage! that is one of the most epic things iv read in a while.. im actually sad the admin stopped it where he did.. i wanted to know more about the poffins
I herd U liek Hot Skitty on Wailord Action =D.
HSOWA is my fetish.
Gary Motherfucking Oak can rename whoevers pokemon he damn well pleases
Kid needs to change his own username. "Pokepizza" is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Yeesh, I'll admit, I'm obsessed with Pokemon, but this is just insane. They're fucking nicknames. Who cares. I've got an Empoleon on WiFi named Pingoleon. Real original, but I keep it, 'cause it's my strongest.
I swear, if these two don't stop, then we're gonna have to
*sunglasses*
name the debate.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The kicker: Dudeskull is actually a female.
Ah, If only pokepizza knew about breeding…Wait cancel that, people like that shouldnt breed. Themselves or pokemon.
They're on our internetz, TROLLING OUR LOLZ!
more like Derpskull, Am I right?
Well, if he doesn't like the name "Duderskull" he should just call it by the name his friend gave it: Dudeskull.
Wha…
What's wrong with having "Dude" in your name? o_O
Ethan should have argued that if he ever wants to evolve yellowducky, that it would be a golduck which is blue.
I have a feeling that this was staged.
Well if it's a female duskull, WHY COULDN'T HE JUST BREED IT AND MAKE ANOTHER DUSKULL AND NAME IT HIMSELF???
And his alt-F4 crashes his pc games too.
He spelled 'rather' wrong, forgot to put an apostrophe in 'won't', did the same thing with 'can't', used 'and' three times in one sentence, didn't capitalize OR put an apostrophe in 'What's', didn't put a period at the end of the last sentence, and put an 'r' in 'Dudekull' in the last sentence.
Fucking kids these days.
I Challegnge your team with REDLIZARDGUY, BLUETINYTURTLE and GREENMOSSYTHING!
People like them can't breed. And when i say can't I mean there are body guards making sure they don't reproduce.
The same goes with the pokemon breeding
I forget… isn't psyduck one of the most common pokemon near where he is?
*Hides the spotlights*
What makes you think that?
Pff, details.
I don't know, "Dudeskrull" sounds pretty good.
Or "Duskrull".
Oh gods.
Thank you Halolz. I was in a rut this morning, but this cheered me up. You guys always deliver .
It can't be changed, for it is a truly impeccable name.
Where's the trojan condom icon?
Nerd rage in my halolz? It's more likely than you think!
I should give him my Empoleon called Pingu. Then see how he BAWs over how Pingu isn't manly enough for a manly pokemanz like Empoleon :B
Beat these original names of my pokemon! AWESOMEDILE, MR. KRABS, MANLYPUFF, WOODY, SANDY, MOOSILINI and EGG BABY!
They are so original you can guess what they all are with ease! Oh, wait…
Read that forum before. I lol'd. I facepalmed. And I now demand all my dead braincells back.
…. Oh god I just got horrible images of manlypuff
i read the whole forum and i have to say im very upset that the administrator closed the post!
what happened to yellowducky?! what happened to dudeskull?!
was yellowducky let back into the wild?
was dudeskull forced to eat dry poffins forever?
Sadly… they cannot be replaced, for to bring back dead braincells they will become as zombies and infect other braincells, thus leading to a full blown zombie outbreak as eventually, you will be zombiefied.
I'm guessing you caught MOOSILINI in Italy?
SKITLORD!!! I SUMMON THEE!!!!
*Thunderous noise bellows from the beast*
NYAAOOOOOOOO!!!
Completely irrelevant to the post…
THIS is why I breed all the pokémon I get. If I get something nicknamed ridiculously stupid, I just have Ditto breed with it and correct the mistake and release the parent. (Or keep them for the Lottery Drawing), No Master ball yet, but I'm working on it!!!
It just needs an awesome intro
"Dudeskull, An unmarked hitman living in the suburbans, Until oneday, his past has come back to haunt him… He must fight, For his right… To Parrrrtake in living another day. Al Pacino is, Dudeskull."
Pff, irony.
Shh!!! They're all ten you sick fuck!!! They're too young to know the secret of life!!! (Actually, they're too stupid but that's besides the point.)
I start to feel sorry for all our dittos, i mean its pumping out eggs so many times, Its like its only purpose is breeding (lol of course it is) …i wonder…. what would happen if they bred ditto's with humans…. would the human be in an egg…? or be born instantaneously…. after 5000 steps of course.
So serious, that we must argue, at length, the repercussions involving poor name choices.
Ear bleeding text? Logic no sense create.
Can also rename your mom, your county, your home state, and yes, EVEN YOU. (Only if he sleeps with her though.)
Shit, well then, the secret of life is now DIAMONDS!
Gary Motherfucking Oak is so boss that he is his own grandfather
…wait
I call rule 34 on humans and Dittos!!!
Also, add the slimes from Dragon Quest too!!!
OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?
You've just given birth to a new type of image.
Some are happy, others in disgust,
but overall its for the better.
Pff, Yellowducky
Dude… that is some REALLY hot Skitty-on-Wailord action.
They reached a compromise. Dudeskull ate Yellowducky, saving the trouble of release, and preventing him from having to eat dry poffins.
SILVER FISH HAND CATCH!
You do realise something else, do you? Lemme quote it.
"and put an 'r' in 'Dudekull' in the last sentence."
Do you see it? It's right there.
'Dudekull'
You have made a grammar mistake.
oh well isnt that a relief i was worried that whUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHt?
I see your MOOSILINI and raise you a KANGASKHAAAAAAAAAN and BILL NYEDOKING.
Either gender, Ditto works.
Which begs the question… isn't Ditto supposed to replicate the Pokemon in front of it? HOW DOES IT COME OUT ANOTHER GENDER?!
I never quite truly understood why you couldn't change the names of nicknamed Pokémon…
Oh, because it would "lose all the hard-work the original trainer thought of to create the nickname" or some other stupid crap? Bullshit. If someone trades me a Pokémon named Turdmuffin, Medkepz, or some other eccentric crap, I want to change that name to something else. I may not be Gary Fuckin' Oak, but I have two feet that have a thirst for high velocity, the Name Rater's buttocks, and a Game Freak CEO's face.
AND WILL GOKU HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BRUSH HIS TEETH? TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR DRAGGGGOOOONNNN BAAAALLLLLL ZZEEEEEEEEEE!!11!11!!1! >:o
Only Professor Motherfucking Oak could come THAT fast.
No time for love, Dr. Jones!
Go! Teddiurspheal!
*adorable spherical blue seal-bear*
ARKARKARK
What are you talking abo…
*looks at post*
…fuck. Well, it's been nice knowing you guys. I must now kill myself for making this error.
*aims Luger at head*
HEIL SPELLCHECK!
*BANG*
I also call, to quote RWJ: "Fake and gay."
Arguing on the internet is like editing Wikipedia. It's good for a laugh, but you always end up leaving with unwanted butt hurt.
I was right there with the guy until I saw how he named his pokemon. Dudeskull is a lame ass name, but yellowducky is retarded.
I SMELL -1 TROLL. D:<
In the words of T. Bison…
THIS IS DELISHISS!!!
Literally or aesthetically? Literally its butt hair off of an elephant. *Throws dictionary out the window*
Aesthetically, perhaps he wanted to call it Dickskull, because he'd be using it to rape people in the eyesocket.
Trolls?
Staging hate in MY forums?
I would be surprised if he hacked the game to turn that particular copy up to 11.
…Grammar nazi? Whats going on!?
Grammar Nazi!?!?
GRAMMAR NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Might I ask how this is relevant?
R.I.P. Lord Grammar Nazi
He died making a fatal grammatical error. His heart simply couldn't survive the tragedy.
You will never be forgotten, by those who read Halolz comments on a daily basis, you shall remain forever as a part of Halolz history. Farewell.
*Plays tragic funeral music* rel="nofollow">
The same way HSOWA works. Just don't think about the specifics, it will cause your head to explode.
…
…
…
Or Wolf won't let you do that, either way, just drop it.
Someone just had to bring Wailkitty into the discussion.
=P
Really?
My encclopedia says:
dude
1883, "fastidious man," New York City slang of unknown origin. The vogue word of 1883, originally used in reference to the devotees of the "aesthetic" craze, later applied to city slickers, especially Easterners vacationing in the West ( dude ranch first recorded 1921). Surfer slang application to any male is first recorded c.1970.
… What dictionary are you using? o.e
Does that basically mean Fail whale?
I removed my imaginatory gland before I read it so I'm perfectly sane…
Changing traded pokemon names is like dividing by zerooooshit!
I recommend the dictionary all people with no souls use. http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Dude for the lose!
I would call it mudkip instead. maybe it would turn blue and grow a fin.
My favourite part was how the argument went on for so long……
Some people were using the wifi trade thingy and cloning pokemon and so nobody could trade them during the process they would request a lvl 100 abra. Somebody trained a lvl 100 abra just to troll the glitchers… they called it: Youfail
I eat trolls for second breakfast!
WOOOT! zombie apocalypse! it's my way of taking over the world and killing everyone in sight! But in my strict book of moral values It is morally incorrect to kill a Daifuku (the Daifuku) So this will mess up all my plans! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (nope.avi)
It's highly improbable! indubitably monsieur.
When I change my name to Gary Oak and they won't let me I'll get gary oak to make them change my name!
Or an IP ban… within the first week or so at my school someone always gets all the computers banned because they share an IP.
What about intelligent and emotionally stable teenagers like myself and my cousin and his cousin?
But they taste good fried! (unlike women)
They should really fix that bug! (sarcasm)
The main export of halolz is lolz isn't that fascinating? the second export is +1's.
I started with yellow! still trying to get that pikachu to stop following me by getting him stuck on a CUT tree. Pc boxes are cheating…
Or just never name them EVER! that's what I do except with my drifloon who I keep to run around the park place.
the name's too awesome to change maybe?
I don't think it was staged. Take a look at his post history, he frequently asks stupid questions. Unless he were some kind of maniacal genius, planning everything step by step from the beginning, there's no way he could have organized this.
You got -1ed…so i +1ed you
someone expliain to me WHY these phycos are arguing anout a phyduck and duskull, and why its important.
the original gender doesnt mater i think.
i would call it mewtwo…hope it turns into one..then…well then id release it and let a 10 year old catch him…he will then have a bad life…a bad enough life to have made him cry in the cornor of his pokeball..wait there are no cornors…just cracks….and a red side…..and a white side….you know what you know what i mean….
*reads posts*
Well, at least thats ov --
*sees page numbers*
Oh please no….
'Well, maybe I'll only feed her DRY POFFINS wich she DISLIKES'
O.O He just went TO FAR.
I liked that part to!
(if ANYONE gets the reference, go kill yourself)
Wow, I thought that was common knowledge. Maybe I shouldn't tell Pokepizza that that a green vaporeon is shiny -- he/she might try to heal it.
I shall make a movie called "FREE SKITTY!!!" and then it shall be relevant. The star's nickname is Fuzzlefin. I nicknamed it, therefore it is.
He will deny your request because no one can ignore HIS girth. Yours is debatable.
hmm… no.
Well, pokemon CAN breed. Let me tell you how they're made:
*SPOILER ALERT!*
When a mommy pokemon and a daddy pokemon love each other very much, they pray REALLY hard to their pagan god Arceus. If he's not busy having sex with a crowd of hot bitches and watching the football game, he sets down his beer and creates an egg. Here's how:(note: this ACTUALLY happens in the game). Arceus stands in the most unholy looking pentacle/alchemy circle to be shown in a children's game. He then plays his boss battle music , to get the mood going. He then flashes subliminal images of molecular structures, cities, mechanical objects, outer space, the sky, and a Da Vinci-style mapping of time itself for about a minute. The ritual then ends by showing a picture of his face, and then an egg appears, literally, out of fuckin nowhere. Satoshi Tajiri then play's one of the Exorcist movies backwards with the audio on, to listen for a word he could dress up with fake Japanese dialect to name the new pokemon. Our baby's journey is almost complete, as stuffed animals, trading cards, action figures, pillows, coffee mugs, stickers, and 3rd party Korean cigarettes are manufactured with it's image. It is now a complete pokemon, fit for its game's society.
And THAT'S how pokemon babies are made. :D
So you've put it back in?
ctrl+c,ctrl+v
lol i traded it to my pokemon red, evolved him then traded him back, got a lvl 100 raichu outta it xD
I like how pokepizza wont trade killerhamster cause he only has one Bidoof
Gary Motherfucking Oak was there, Pokepizza is a little bitch!
EPIC FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL
This reminds me of the WOW Alt-F4 comment, which got an ascii-art facepalming Picard from Blizzard.
You just gotta be grateful for these morons providing the daily LOLs.
You are my hero.
I like how ethan wants to trade yellowducky back for a Bidoof named killerhamster
but pokepizza doesnt want to because killerhamster is the only Bidoof he has
KILLERHAMSTER!
chronodev
King of the party poopers.
it is dumb I can't rename my shiny pichu because I got it from gamestop I wanted to call it flint
Tune in next week to find out!
as far as you know…
I believe you mean "hmm… Nope.avi"
Oh god, I saw this a few weeks ago. I wish I'd seen this when it was still open, I'd go in, announce that my sister has a female Tropius named Fred and that it is awesome, then leave.
My idea to name it Fred, she asked for a name, I suggested Fred, and by the time she'd put the name in, she realised it was a girl. She kept the name and now it's a running joke between us THAT I HAD TO SHARE WITH YOU CRAZY INTERNET FOLKS.
Pumpkins?
It's more likely than you think.
seen it…
Would have been funny if not completely fake. Ethan joined about a month after Pokepizza. Supposedly he introduced PP to the site. Doesn't add up.
SHENANIGANS CALLED.
youre not alone….
good job pointing this out!
+1 for you!
http://www.memerial.net/fullsize/587_whats_going_…
Well if you're considering having a female Duskull with Dude in the name being normal, then not at all.
DIAMONDS AND PEARLS :D
Holy crap… +1 to you, man. you need it.
Seriously, how did you get -48? you don't seem like a troll…
I see your names and raise you SLOWDOOD, BEEFCAKECLEON, VICTREEBEAST, KABUTCHOPS, CHARMATCHO and SALLY.
I said something that a lot of people disagreed with a long time ago. Don't even remember what it was. Possibly was drunk. >.>
Ditto is either a hypersexual being who is also intelligent enough to turn into the opposite gender of its target and wants to get used repeatedly for reproduction, something even more sciency, or… Magic. Take your pick.
Call Blizzard tech support. I'm sure they will help.
I know what you mean all too well… *shudders* so many long days without eating inside that horrible contraption…
They actually let you trade the pikachu if you want to? EVIL LAUGH TIME!
I think you mean: I liked that part too!
I'm ignoring his girth!
OMG I HAZ THOSE POKEYMANZ GAEMZ!!11!!11!
I think we'll keep you away from those Rowntree's Randoms…
*fangirl scream*
Saw this the other day. It was one of the best reads of my life. And I've read Jane Eyre.
That reminded me of this rel="nofollow">
lol i have the best name EVAR i named my first ever cyndaquil (spelling)
dun da da DAAA: Bad
XD
It seemed The argument was about to come to a close with the Ralts for Yellowducky trade until Pokepizza had to get butthurt about finding a ralts and basically destroyed any progress he had made in the argument.
I think the admins should have let this go on and seen what would have happened
I know it's a bit late, but you're kidding me with this, right? This is trolling at some of it's most obvious people, I thought it was made the most evident when the troll called his psyduck a "prisoner of war" and named off his other pokemon.
Actually, it's all in the species and the sauce. The King and I had the most delightful Goron female char-broiled in her own blood over afternoon tea. Then some homicidal child came in and force fed the King bombs until he rolled into the lava. This after the little brat destroyed several infants and younglings. Having no leader, my people became savage, always seeking revenge on that particular child and his annoying compatriot.
REGISTALIN, OPTIMUS PRIMEAPE, SLACKOTHELLO, and FERALYANKOVIC say hi.
Like Manlykarp but with a pink body and a Jigglypuff head right? 0_0
ON MOTORCYCLES!
Guyrotina?
I was really hoping for an "OBJECTION!" after you pointed out those contradictions.
Still, you won your +1 sir.
Pokepizza: "yellowducky is a cute name. He is yellow and he is a ducky. So I named him yellowducky"
…you can't beat his logic Ethan.
NOPE.avi
Yes, and it's really disturbing since I normally see Jigglypuff as a girl pokemon.
happens to the best of us
You're right! this was staged
and it was by…GARY MOTHERF*CKING OAK
DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lulz were had
Someone should mention to Pokepizza that psyduck is not a duck. It's a platypus.
That's how horrible this discussion is. It makes your EARS bleed by looking at it.
I have a female zangoose named Philip
Come to think of it, who's old enough to be allowed and know how to post on forums, yet young enough to name a psyduck something as childish as Yellowducky?
Its funny because a bunch of those names dont fit into the naming screen.
