oh man, today is Sun & Moon's FIFTH anniversary? HOW??? didn't that just come out yesterday???

SM is still one of my favorite core series games, it meant a loooot to me when it released. I distinctly remember waking up early on release day and power walking in the freezing cold to go pick it up

TIL that the reward you get in Pokémon Stadium for registering all 151 Pokemon in the Hall of Fame is... a level 15 Psyduck

maaan, Battle Revolution is so fun. I've been revisiting it lately for Sinnoh nostalgia purposes, and I still think the models and animations look incredible, especially for such an early Wii title.
it makes me sad that it was received so negatively back when it released - I can't help but think that maybe if it did better, we'd still be getting spinoff games from Genius Sonority.

less than two weeks until BDSP, so it's time to settle this once and for all: Dialga or Palkia, which one is cooler? (and why is it Dialga?)

welp, digital version of Brilliant Diamond is now ~officially~ pre-ordered on my Switch. all that's left to do now is wait

( I'm breaking my streak of only owning physical copies up to now... but only because last time I pre-ordered something physically, it vanished into the post office ether and arrived like half a week late — and I can't help it, I want my Turtwig content locked and loaded as soon as possible. )

oh that's right, it's actually Halloween now. Hope you guys all get to watch your favorite movies and eat your favorite candy later tonight!

Your avatar is great, that screenshot is beautiful. And your profile banner is just adorable .

just out of curiosity: what is the Bulbagarden Discord like?
I've considered joining it every now and then, but big public Discord servers are a mystery to me, so I worry I might get overwhelmed in there. =P

I saw in your About page that you write fanfiction. That's really cool!
What do you write about? Do you post it anywhere?

feels good to finally change my site style to Bulbagarden Pumpkin Patch so my forums can be spookily seasonally appropriate for October [insert pumpkaboo emoji]

i took that test where you have to name all 898 Pokémon in an hour. my final score ended up being 897 because I forgot about Sigilyph. sorry Sigilyph

hooray for 251 messages!
I hit the milestone for Mew back at 151, and now I've reached Celebi too. Next stop, Deoxys (#386).

every now and then, I check on the Badges page just to see which Gen 8 starter has the most fans
(not to brag or anything, but Scorbunny's winning )

oh wow, I just realized how inactive I've been for the past few weeks without noticing LOL. writing sure takes up a lot of your time if you're not careful...

I haven't been totally absent, just mainly lurking around the A&M board without much to say... you know how it is sometimes. i really miss all of you guys though! I'm sure I'll be back to gush over the New Snap DLC tomorrow night anyway XD

this is random, but I think the Pikachu design in the early days of the anime is just so cute...


something about the wider nose and more triangular ears is adorable to me

Hi, it's a bit late but congratulations on being a Snap Superstar, your Minior pic is beautiful .

this might not make a whole lot of sense, but I've been thinking about it for a while now so I'll try to articulate it as best I can:

Something that I always love seeing in the Pokémon fanbase (mostly on the anime side of it, though it happens with the games too) are the people who are just extremely devoted to their favorite characters. Usually it's a specific one or two characters that they'll always talk about and know basically everything there is to know about them. Seeing that kind of love, attention, and dedication that some Pokéfans have for their favorites, whether they be human or Pokémon, sometimes to the point where they might be practically synonymous with them... it makes me really happy. It's probably because I can relate, but I just love that kind of genuine enthusiasm. Those people are awesome and you know who you are.

having to wake up at the crack of dawn sure is hard when you're a night owl. i'm about to get 3 hours of sleep and like it, thank you very much.

happy birthday to Sig! *hands him a ladybug*
