Nice to see another familiar face find their way back. Look forward to seeing your next stories.

I think I remember seeing you around, though I also think we never interacted that much with each other, but whatever the case, welcome back!

I know how that feels like. Trust me, I probably could have returned WAY sooner, but it slipped my mind as well. I just only thought to check on the Board again a few days ago.

Oh, computer problems, the bane of my existence. Yeah, I can sympathise.
Welcome back, anyway! :-D

You're something of a fixture, at this point.

Hi. It's great you're back.

Here, have some sonic screws, but you have to provide your own screwdriver for them.

Welcome back! Here, have this pot o' tea, nothing but Lapsang Souchong-y goodness.

Have a shovel that only digs up the greatest hits of Elvis Presley.

Have this replica of the One Ring that doubles a squeaky toy!

So many returnbies! I guess August is the season of renewal around here or something, huh? :P

Anyway, hi again! Take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti! It's good to have you back. :)

Now that I have supremely annoyed a PG, have your NG+ starter Pokémon:-

Iiiiiiiit's Bastiodon!

And your starting item is:-

Caffeine Pill from The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth!

Now, Caffeine Pill is actually banned from the competitive scene because of how it works. It's analogous to Weakness Policy, but instead of it boosting your Attack and Special Attack by two stages, it boosts your Speed and Evasion by two stages. Accuracy and Evasion modifiers are banned. Still, though, this makes Bastiodon slightly more swift, but it's really not what you should be going for on a Pokémon like him. He wants tanky items - Repulsion Armour and Fire Shield from Risk of Rain, for instance. =]
