It’s Absolutely Killing Me That THIS Is The Font That Fabian’s Neck Tattoo Was In Before Bill Went

Starting scarlet and violet over as the default player character because I’m at that level of brain rot where I feel like they’re their own person and I CANNOT mess that up for them. No customization for me

Honestly, I didn’t like Buddy Dawn too much before this past episode, but damn…

He replaced the Rat Grinder’s last cleric who died, only to suffer a similar fate at the hands of people he thought were his friends. He had such a heart of gold, even if somewhat misguided in his beliefs.

He reminds me of those types of spiritual people who honest-to-goodness don’t have a single mean bone in their bodies and radiate nothing but warmth and kindness, but are doomed by the people they are surrounded by that do nothing but take advantage of the naïveté.

I really do hope the bad kids get to revive him, along with Lucy Frostblade.

(Also I REALLY hope it gets explained what Oisin’s role in this is, because it’s not looking too good for him right now)

Sometimes I worry about a new Pokemon game coming out and having my interests shift away from Scarlet and Violet but then I remember I literally took up and finished a minor in English at my college because the storylines inspired me so much. (And also so I could write better fanfics, but that’s not the point)

When Baron possesses Fabian, they don’t say Adaine’s last name like they do for Riz (and then Gorgug later when they possess Adaine.) I know that was probably just a Lou thing while he was roleplaying, but I have a headcanon now that Baron just fully did not know what Adaine’s last name was.

Dude it’s so hard. I know deep down that I’m writing straight fire but then the awareness hits like

Stupid question but how does one write and NOT go "Ugh this is so cringe" or something

Asking for a friend

THIS FUCKER

Are there any Pokémon that y’all are scared of? If so, which one(s)? I am absolutely terrified of Galarian Mr. Mime. The minute I saw one tap dancing toward me in my first play through of Shield I knew it was an automatic no from me lol!

Sometimes I wish that Dimension 20 episodes were longer but my ADHD ass knows I could not sit through three to four straight hours. I straight up THRIVE with how fast paced these stories can be with lore dumps.

I do agree with the vast majority of this, but I think there’s an argument to be made that sometimes it’s nice to do it for fun in cases where there’s no harm in it. Mostly I’m talking about the games that no longer have internet connectivity, so everything from the 3DS to before. I don’t necessarily hold the belief that “shinies only have value because they’re rare”. If somebody wants a shiny starter just for the hell of it while doing a nostalgia playthrough or because it looks nice, I mean why not. Sometimes the only reason is because a black charizard looks sick as fuck and that’s ok.

Pokémon Discussion:

What do you guys think about hacked Pokémon? Because I have a couple of opinions on it.

First, I don’t like hacked shinies. The thing about shinies is that it’s only an aesthetic change and nothing changes gameplay-wise. There’s no reason to hack one, unlike, say, a perfect IV competitive Pokémon. The thing about shinies is that they only have value because they’re rare. That’s it. Meaning, hacking a shiny takes away its value.

Where my opinion differs is on hacking shinies for competitive purposes, that being because it actually affects gameplay, and there’s actually another reason. As mentioned above, shinies only have value due to their rarity, and thus hacking them completely defeats the purpose of a shiny. On the other hand, you can pretty easily get a max IV or EV Pokémon in scarlet and violet. I’ve seen some people claiming that maxing out a team takes them 3 hours, but with a decent amount of money it takes me, like, an hour at most. At the end of the day, it’s not that much time or effort to max out a team and thus hacking doesn’t really matter. If you honestly care that much about hacking competitive Pokémon, then I honestly think you’re overreacting.

Those are my thoughts, anyway. See ya!
