It kind of was, actually. I requested that one Doxisite pic based on the intro to chapter seven, where he does that same thing (though I describe it as him draining the Rattata's blood and then throwing the carcass away to show his ruthlessness).
Yeah, the artist who did that Apollo pic is a good penpal of mine on FA, but he's not around much these days. On the one hand, he's home-schooled and prepping for college. On the other, he's got a couple projects of his own going on, including an indie RPG he's working on where you play as a living inflatable. I love that concept, but I despise indies...well, not his, but everything else...
I haven't been too into gaming lately since I felt like I got burned out on ORAS and haven't even completed Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon because it's so boring to me. I miss the older games. There was more to do and more reason to keep playing... ;_;
