I know it's been a thing for a couple of games now, but it still weirds me out seeing Eeveeloutions in the wild. Like, why is there a Jolteon staring at me right now? Who gave this thing a Thunder Stone? Was it a Magnemite? I bet it was a Magnemite, those things are evil. #Pokemon
Finally had time to defeat the Elite Four and become Champion in Pokémon Shining Pearl. It's the first time I've ever fully finished a Gen 4 game as any other time I started I found it so slow and boring.
This remake was much better with the usual QOL improvements like EXP share etc. However, the Pokédex is still terrible, way too many Pokémon locked to post game.
The mission commander was more scared than surprised. He had seen these creatures on TV, on the tournament shows his kids loved. A spaceship full of supplies and nuclear fuel for the ISS was NOT the place for this.
—Don't worry. He's nor dangerous. He has a control system attached. He will obey you.
—I don't want it in my ship.
—It's our ship, commander, and you'll need him up there. Trust us… #WritingPrompt
The deeper I go into custom keyboard builds the more I regret this rabbit hole. There's no turning back now, time to learn about lubing switches. And some hashtags to make sure this gets to the right people: #lube#switch#masochism#fingerbang?
@adam How cute! I love the cards whose art is made with sculpture or other physical media, and of course seeing an amigurumi one is particularly 🥰 for me!
@andycarolan MAYBE if it was PVP relevant…good thing Gible works in Little Cubs because that shiny Garchomo is just a darker muddy iPhone 14 Pro muddy purple
@adam Really cool art style in this one. Feels like an entirely different genre from typical Pokemon, and I’d love to see more of the world and creatures rendered in this style!

An intriguing idea! Though I'm not sold on streaming games to the existing (or new) handheld from the dock... It would severely limit on the go parity.
I'm not sure most people would find that acceptable.
@ChrisFerguson the idea behind that is for it to be an option rather than the primary method of play
It comes from both the Wii U and PlayStation Vita's remote play options that enabled local streaming which mitigates some of the issues with remote streaming. It would also help relieve handheld bottlenecking which has driven some devs to release their titles only as remote streaming versions
This approach means you wouldn't have to wonder when a company might drop streaming your games to you
@adam This series of posts is awesome! I've just sent the link to my son because he loves Pokémon and collects the cards. I think the only one he has is the Loudred.
My fave card arts are Surfing Pikachu (which I bought some time back), and Special Delivery Charizard SWSH075 (which came as a promo from The Pokémon Centre)
@adam I love the strap/buckle around his horn-thing. 😆 I also just generally love pics of Pokemon with mundane-ish jobs. It’s fun to see them doing things like this! 😄
@tk eeeh it can work in a lot of cases. I don't think one is really better than the other, I'm just really tired of companies feeling they need to switch to 3D for seemingly no reason and then it looking soulless and lifeless because it's a lot harder to convey that with 3D models, probably also destroys their budget too.
@che5hire Honestly, hand-drawn sprites probably cost more than 3-D models to do because of the labor cost. I think part of the push for 3-D back in the day was to cut costs. :blobfoxannoyed:
