Complete Industry Shutdown.
good, Hollywood is ****ed. They aren’t just going lose money in no actors or writers, but they continue to lose money due to no productions, projects shut down mid development, stocks plummeting, etc. they will lose billons a day and be forced to wake up and listen.

Something that hopefully sets a precedent in other industries that you can not get away with abuse or Mis-treatment of your employees.

Sucks Deadpool will shut down but it’s a fair trade off.
Dynamax Adventure should be used as a form of torture
If you think it’s bad now, I did like 600+ raids to get shiny Zygarde from it. Took about a year and while I lost a lot, I also won most of them with no shiny zygarde. It was maddening, but I’m glad I got mine.

I got 0 shiny legendaries so far. Not looking for any but it would be nice if my seventh Mesprit had anything to distinguish it from the 6 others I have

Ya know didn't Zinnia canonically have a child.


Don't like how she's looking at him with them eyes rn.
Idk if she does but uh I don't see a ring on that finger. So something something I wish I was him yadda yadda laugh NOW
I could be wrong but I think Aster is named after her kid or her sister in the manga iirc. I have t read it, but I know it dives more into the backstory of her people and the Rayquaza storyline.

I also know that Rayquaza ends up killing zinnia
Speaking of, do y'all think they're ever gonna do more with Zinnia?

They should tbh. They won't but they should.
Tragic that Gen six gave us two really unique characters in Emma and Zinnia and did nothing with them after. Like Emma could have easily been apart of the Ultra Beast team Looker had.

At least they both are in Pokémon masters and zinnia even has a few alts so far.

I don't think she dies but she does get impaled

I'm pretty sure Zinnia is a teen in the games so if she had a kid in the manga that's kinda weird, but the manga is its own continuity so....

Goth chick with a cute design and bad social skills.


That and they decided to make her a milk vendor in gen 6 so the jokes wrote themselves.
Yeah I still don't see it.

Her age isn't specified (and tbh I always saw her as an adult). Even then, it's not out of the ordinary for teenagers to have children.

tbh the frontpage article about the Build-a-Bear Sprigatito made it seem like today was a slow news day since no other BAB Pokemon got articles

but then

I believe she dies but gets resurrected later.

I always felt like she’s meant to be an adult.

She’s the last of her kind and has been implied to be alive for a decent amount of time after the rest of her people died, she gets drafted as a grunt( which I imagine they don’t recruit children), Steven calls her a woman in the games and even in masters, and she looks pretty older then the protags. Plus iirc she kinda talks down to others like she thinks or is older then them.

I shiny hinted Zygarde a few years ago. It was awful.

I got to a point where I could accurately predict just about every move the AI partners would make. You think this would be useful, but it only made things even more frustrating.

They usually didn’t pick good moves :drsad:

Marcy Wu?

Isn't that the Homecoming Warrior?
Funnily enough Brenda Song does voice Anne in Amphibia.

Whoever at Gamefreak said let’s make the AI switch their Pokémon every round, deserves to be left out of all future creative conversations. Especially since if all 4 people wanted to change their Pokémon at once, it literally breaks the game and you either get booted from the raid, or no one gets to keep the Pokémon because it was too much effort to code in a random selection between 4 people.

Granted playing with real people wasn’t much better half the time. You always had that one stupid person who said “let’s drop this ice type and grab the karkoal, because reflect will save this middle form pokemon from its X4 weak to ground”

I don't think there's ever been a truly bad Pokemon game.

Like at worst, it's painfully mid, at it's best it's peak. And the issue with modern Pokemon (Gen 5 onwards) is that it keeps flip-flopping between the two with no consistency.
