She got dethroned by a ten year old with a penguin. It’s brutal out here.
For real though imma give her five stars, she was afraid of the elevator but took it anyways. Got me some ice cream sandwiches and a bunch of other stuff.

But no one cares about my irl stuff so lemme bring this up; Bulbasaur isn't as hard as I thought he'd be in Mystery Dungeon DX. Skarmory was a bit of a headache but we still clapped him. Same with team Melanie's. Getting ready to fight Zapdos right now, and I'm gonna try to get Ice Beam/Blizzard for Squirtle before I do that.

Also I ragequit Violet after experience multiple raids with dumbass partners. I wish the bots were better. Sometimes they are.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
Launching the same month as the Switch 2 Direct feels like a repeat of the Saturn's American launch waiting to happen.

Please don't be the case.

Sweet! Got my order in for the reissued versions of Scarlet/Violet with both DLC packs fully on-cart. Guess once I finish catching all of the Legendaries in BDSP, I'll be going back to yet another Pokemon game (I had just finished SwSh for all of the DLC Pokemon prior).

I don't think I've played up my copy of Violet since the last time Iron Leaves/Walking Wake were available. 😅

Switch eShop has a section for Pokémon Day with a banner.

Somethin's a brewing!
It’s looking like I might have somewhere to be that morning. I was trying to avoid it but in case I can’t, here are my options:

-Watch the Presents while I’m out. Definitely doable, but I’ve been waiting for this for a year and I kinda want it to be a little more special.

-Watch it when I get home later. I should be back around noon, so I’d have to dodge spoilers for a few hours.

Not sure what I’m gonna do yet :054:

Glaceon is often said to be one of the worst Eevee evos to use in the main games alongside Flareon. And what kills me about it is that it SO OBVIOUSLY COULD'VE WORKED.

Just swap its Physical Defense and Speed stats. Then bam you got a special attack sweeper with some special defense to laugh off fire attacks.

But nope, they insist upon bulky ice-types AGAIN. It's not as egregious as the Rock-Ice types but it's pretty damn bad. It doesn't even get Slush Rush! :drflip:

Also, apparently, Cynthia is delivering my groceries to me. Guess the champion business ain't working for her, lol
This gave me the image of a Garchomp, Milotic and Spiritomb showing up at doorsteps carrying boxes of groceries or pizza (or at least trying to) ordered by each house's residents, while also wearing various delivery company hats.

This now needs to be canon.

She'd get her Glaceon to help her handless teammates carry pizzas to the door, only for the customers to now have to deal with ice-cold pizzas.

Doing some overviews on the changes I'd make to each type in Purore, with such things as new resistances, special goodies, and new moves, plus the special Typergy Ability each type will get.

I'm going type-by-type. Here's the first four.

Honestly, if Reg H comes back to VGC you could probably use it as an Articuno alternative on Trick Room teams.

Glaceon is a bit of a meme competitively but I think part of why its a meme is because it's so close to being good. 130 base special attack blizzard huts like a truck.

Finally went over how i currently feel about Godzilla now and I decided it hasn't changed anything at all.

Assuming it was true. Ishiro Honda was a known pacifist and his movies had anti-war in them. He even admitted to his guilt and shame of what he had done never enjoying it. From what I heard, not following those orders meant execution and whenever he could, he'd comfort the victims.

Learning about this makes me feel a lot better to find he never took in joy in any of this and men like him were drafted and forced against his own will.

I also praise him for admitting his guilt and shame. That absolutely takes a lot of courage and in some way has made me respect him more.

Seems in some way I had it all wrong.

So **** the Japanese military that forced Ishiro Honda into doing this. Hope they're rotting in hell.

This is Wes from Pokémon Colosseum and you can't convince me otherwise.

Marvel you already have a cooler living Gwen Stacy in the form of Ghost-Spider. Leave the dead one dead for once.
