Voting for Kanto favourites was quite difficult given the two Nidoran lines already cover six slots! But it was entertaining and the other regions were quite easier to get picks from (it helps that each successive generation adds fewer likable Pokémon, but oh well that's what Nintendon't get...

I don't even need to calculate to know it's ORAS (technically OR). Got it two weeks after release and migrated most of my Y stuff from there. The PBS PSS added so much life to the G6 games that made it actually viable to go about and around with a bunch of eggs and it is the game I do my...

I'm using Discord over VPN in this persona as a measure of personal data protection (to not associate my activity with IRL / work / meatspace accounts) so I'll probably have to wait until I can walk into an external domestic connection before doing the verification, but thanks for the advance...

Can't really recommend Reddit Answers since... well, it's AI generated and not that much different than actually using Reddit search (which, funnily enough, you have to use from outside Reddit for it to work right because enshittification). It does however manage to cover pretty well two of the...

I'm not sure there's any such resources, at least none that reasonably covers "visual attributes typically indicative of humans in the Pokemon world". So far and even reaching almost 10 gens, Pokémon has too few human characters showing enough visual composition that one could establish...

As the best Pokémon game for the Switch, it also has some quite good protags! Even if they are just reskinned Lucas and Dawn isekai'd into Old Sinnoh, the approach to vestments and face expressions in this game is a welcome coat of paint. Akari for me, on this one.

An interesting experiment. I think this is specifically geared for a Gen1-like 'dex distribution? Made a few runs and examined the code and there's some things in there that definitively can be not there while still retaining some balance. So if you are looking for improvements, I'd say there...

Best: The PokéToon singles, in particular The "Pancham who Wants to be a Hero" (IMO, the kinoest Pokémon storyline in single release format). Worst: the Ashnime, in as much as it is obvious. If I had to pick a particular season, any season after G4 will do (though at least G5 sucked for no...

I'm finishing outlines and Ch1. draft for a new Gates story. Kinda an interquel, might need to re-check the timeline. Other than that, I'm still working on my worldbuilding and storyline prospects for my new Pokécentric 'verse. Frankly, these days most of the "writing" I'm doing for fandom is...

Absolutely commiserating with the fear of never finishing there. If it helps, I'd say start with the stuff that *can* be easily finished, or at least easily published in a release level of quality. For example you mention you have lots of romance story ideas. Pick a few of them, distill them...

Oh there was a Presents? Huh. Didn't even notice. And checking on what was revealed, I can understand why: pretty much a lot of nothingburger. Graphics haven't progressed or solved, no obvious Mega Flygon announcement to draw in the internet, world still looks empty. The Kommo-o release...

Pokémon mainline is far too formulaic to benefit from a demo. Unless Nintendo can sell it for, like, $60. Separate from the full game pricing, of course. Besides let's be real if there was a ScarVio demo, it would just have been the entire 47-minutes long opening cutscene with then a message...

I don't recall meeting her. If I did, was long ago, and feels kinda wrong to dust off the post history and trudge into minutiae for this. Back when I was more active it always felt like there were some people keeping the "mood" or the "vibe" of the community, she must have been part of. But...

All good things die in due time. Have been warning against ("disrecommending" as a friend put it XD) people Go for a few years already and this latest news pretty much confirms No Go is the way to go. Which partly sucks because outside of the normal p2p / p2w and gacha elements, the gameplay...

That was a fun idea set. Also glory to the Viridian Nidokings, representing best mon. The idea of coming up with sports stuff for the old regions does remind me of that meme of the japanese videogames with invented names for baseball players, I think? I'll have to look into it sometime. But...
