Oh DJ, I'm revising E-Anon. So far, I've:

-Reduced Giovanni's whining and lessened some of his really vile remarks
-Fixed spelling errors
-Changed some bad metaphors (but I'm keeping the awful pokemon metaphors because I can :3)

What else should I do? I'm having trouble making Giovanni more likable... the problem is I want to stay true to canon, but I also don't want him to be so awful that it's impossible to read about him.

Do you like your classes? Are you also taking a Media Studies class, or are you just experimenting on your own?

Winter is the best season. I'm looking forward to it as well.

So wait... you know enough about it to think it will be your favorite generation, but you also don't want to hear anything more about it? I definitely agree that it could be the best generation yet, but it's too bad you don't want to hear the amazing news that's come out. There's some stuff that could change pokemon forever!

Hey DJ! I've been having a good time in college so far (although the first week after orientation was confusing). I have a work study job as a docent for the college's art gallery, and I'm in an Earth Science class, a Media Studies intro class, a Russian short story class, and an Art History class.

Everything was going well until I got sick two days ago >_< I don't feel so good right now...

How are you? What do you think of all the crazy Sun and Moon news? Will you be able to get the game when it comes out? There's a shiny Sneasel with your name on it...

Tiki happy bday <3

yo! how's it going?

i pinged you in discord a while back to see if you wanted to chat but you never replied. it's been a while!

What was that "battle?" 0_o

I just realized forgot to type up my thoughts on your game. So, I don't really know what to expect without screenshots or a demo, but I'm concerned. It sounds like you're trying to add too many new things. I would recommend keeping the scope smaller for the time being, like not trying to introduce new forms for every pokemon right away. Try creating a demo with just a few areas, not too many pokemon, and only maybe one new feature at first.

Here's a response to your analysis (it has spoilers for the latest episode, Crack the Whip):

I watched Alone at Sea!

What did you think of Monster Reunion? I really liked the art style shift in the middle of the episode.

I'm terrified of tomorrow's episode, DJ. It was boarded by Sugar herself. She boarded some of the most emotional, important episodes of the show! I'll update this VM with a spoiler with my thoughts on it tomorrow night, I guess.

You're welcome! You'll have to edit it a little (I messed up the letter e) but it should work.

I agree.

My attempt:

I have no idea bout the gem mutants. Though I saw some leaks, and

Thank you for thinking of following me!

Um... that logo looks great except for the clock. The colored circles and hands look way too bright compared to everything else.

Ouch. I don't really know what to say other than I hope your summer is great while it lasts.

All the characters in the show have made horrible mistakes IMO. I think that makes them more relatable in some ways.

Okay, that makes sense. Is this the game you mentioned before with an entirely new setting and everything?

I think there will be an invasion soon as well. I mean, the gems seem to be building an army of sorts.

I'm excited for that one, too! I was worried the writers had forgotten about Centipeedle.

It got you to laugh out loud? That's great! I'm so glad she recommended we collaborate, because I would've been too shy to ask.

Will you be going to college on the 10th? My orientation is on August 22nd I think.

So you'll have voice acting? Will you have all the characters be voiced, or just the major ones? What is the game like? And what's the animation you're working on?

I loved Mr. Greg! I'm so glad that these episodes are taking the time to use a small cast and develop the characters. I knew I was right to have faith in Pearl! I also loved Beach City Drift as a sequel to Alone Together. I've noticed a recurring theme in these episodes of Steven's powers. He's been getting used to them, and I think it's foreshadowing the big conflicts that are coming.

Oh, and I've been waiting for the subject matter of Alone at Sea for literally years. Keep an eye out for that one on Thursday.

Oh, awesome! My vacation officially started (I was still finishing up AP stuff until late last week). But all this week I've been going on amazing walks in parks I just discovered. I also started a collaborative Pokemon MST with this tumblr user, and I've been watching the Summer of Steven. It's so nice to finally have a complete break.

How are you?

Hey! It's so great to hear from you, honestly! I'll be sure to update your username in the credits of both my hacks since you're still DJTiki there, lol. Are you on Skype?

Yeah. It's pretty blatant. I'm surprised you weren't taken aback by "Smashash use smash Ash!"

Shit.. it's cool man. It's that I've got a new computer and the ROM is still on the old one... but I gotta connect the old one to the internet, bring up the monitor, all that, which is a pain in the ass.. guess I've got some work to do tomorrow.. haha thanks anyways dude
