It's crazy that you can't trade items in Pokopia. I need a Seedot lamp. Everyone has multiples they don't want. But all I can do is take a picture of their lamp and scrape together 5 rare Pokemetal ingots to print one. The idea of trading rare drops was literally the thing that inspired Pokemon lol

I almost never play games with realistic graphics to begin with.

I built Pokemon houses all around the house I built for myself like a little neighborhood, which is fun because there are Pokemon everywhere I go, but it also means when I turn the game on there are like 20 Pokemon in my tiny house and I can't get out the door

Do I actually hurt more when I sit for the entire day playing video games than I did when I was younger or am I simply just more aware of my own needs than I was back then?

I could go on and on about Pokopia maybe I should think about writing a script or something.

Pokopia has what I was missing from both Minecraft and Animal Crossing tbh. It's derivative in a good way, it takes ideas established in other works and builds on it in a way that is meaningful and interesting.

I am not rushing through Pokopia, I am just letting my creative impulses drive progress. I love this and don't want it to end

Pokopia might just be what I want Pokemon to be from now on?

Sad that I have to work but happy for myself that I have one uninterrupted hour of Pokopia waiting for me at 10pm tonight

The efforts apps have made to take choice out of content consumption is part of why there's more negativity. People are constantly being fed things they don't like and being bewildered by it instead of actively clicking on something and thinking "I might not like this let's see."

The problem with Pokopia is I can't play it 24/7

Happy International Women's Day ❤️

Underrated little detail but I love that Pokemon actually interact with the stuff you get them. They play with the toys and use the seating and beds. Charmander builds different stuff out of the blocks I gave him.

Pokopia is like the perfect ADHD game. No matter what I get distracted by it is equally important as everything else I could be doing

You probably unlock better building tools later but I spent 3 hours making a house tonight after stealing everything that wasn't nailed down from my first dream island.

I'm afraid I must resign from my content creation and day jobs. My sole purpose in life is to restore the habitats of Pokemon in Pokopia.

I have no ETA on this because I'm going to be volunteering for the next 3 months, so balancing a day job plus a part time job and volunteer work will not give me very much time to revise. But a draft of the HGSS essay exists. It's 21 pages.

I still haven't finished my New Vegas playthrough, on DLC 3/4 I still haven't finished HGSS footage I still haven't finished [REDACTED] I still haven't started Expedition 33 I still haven't finished Stray Children How am I going to start a lifestyle game now!!

The thing I am most surprised by learning is that a lot of people never read the dialogue in rpgs until someone posts about it online. What do you MEAN you never talked to the NPCs in Pewter City?

I just got the funniest email you are never going to believe this

Pokemon VG people are my people

Now people can finally get guaranteed 0 Atk IV Suicune

Have you ever heard the sound of 1000 people playing a trading card game in an otherwise quiet convention hall? Its pretty magical

In Portland for Pokemon regionals last year they canceled a lot of side activities due to low participation. In Seattle for regionals this year I literally can't get in to any of the side activities I want to do because they sell out by 9am. Seattle is really into the N64 Mystery Game Tournaments.

A lot of people don't seem to realize that there aren't any multiplayer modes in Colo or XD that use your in-game teams that don't require a GBA with a Pokemon game to link up. The only NSO-compatible multiplayer mode in these is the quick battle mode where you're assigned a random team of 4.

Using the GameCube adapter for Switch (for Smash Bros), you can use the GBA to GameCube Advance cable and use a GBA as a controller for the NSO GBA games. What if...

ok but what if

I can't believe the majority of adult Pokemon fans don't remember a world before Pokemon existed.

Its amazing that HGSS/Johto is the one with this reputation for having a level jump to the E4. I got through Victory Road with Pokemon level 38 and the first E4 is 42. In my notes 4 Diamond, reached E4 at level 49, Aaron's highest is 57. But I don't hear people talk about a notorious jump there.

Is the Elite Four usually an issue for people in HGSS? I know people talk about level jumps but I want to make sure I'm representing it right. Where are the level jumps in the game that people have trouble with?

Finally

I just don't care about the passes in Pokemon Go. They actively make me care less about completing researches. When you give me like 300 tasks a day I stop wanting to do any tasks at all. Tasks need to be specific to be interesting. It's the equivalent of another settlement that needs your help.

I know "it's not just x, it's y" is a phrase AI likes to use, but as I was proofreading my own writing I realized I also do this. So I've started trying to rewrite sentences like that when I catch myself doing it 🫠

I'm writing under different constraints than I was 5 years ago and I'm going to be honest it is not easy. But I'm trying

I am glad that people will have an opportunity to play FireRed and LeafGreen again. My reaction has been frustration that it's not something else (FRLG was never a game that was designed with me in mind even 10+ years ago), but the idea of making Gen 3 reasonably playable again is a good thing.

I keep hearing people say this and its pedantic on my part, but "scalping" is when people buy up all the new stock of something and then resell for higher. It is not when prices go up on a 15+ year old game many years later in the 2nd hand market. Both are annoying phenomenon but they're different.

applying for jobs again

I will admit I think being married has made me worse at video games. My persistence is lacking because whenever I don't want to do part of a game I give the controller to Chaz

There was a period of time where I wanted everyone to care about Pokemon again. I feel like that time has definitely come. Though in some ways it's not what I imagined.

I wonder if I had done Lonesome Road first, if the dialogue changes in the other DLC that references it?

‼️ seattle pokémon regionals gamers & gaymers ‼️ don't forget your consoles next weekend 👾

I think in the future post apocalypse, we won't treat bottle caps as currency, it'll be Pokemon cards
