i wish bluesky let me schedule posts or something. i have so many of these darn sprites and i don't know how many to upload at once or how to space them out. does anyone have advice haha

just remembered that xmas morning my mom had been gushing to my aunt about BMF and how i know people from all over the world online in pokemon communities, and my aunt responded to none of it and asked if i was monetizing it. i hate the idea that everything has to be done for money. i was so annoyed

i’m not going to name specific websites because it’s really not that serious but is anyone else kind of weirded out by how corporate a lot of shiny hunting counter and living dex tracker tools are? i always feel like they’re about to start selling me something. maybe i’m too put off by modern design

32x32 charizard sprites... #charizard #pokemon

i've been making so many of these

金銀26周年おめでと！！

32x32 mew sprites! #mew #pokemon #pixelart

this web project i’ve been working on for a million years is finally starting to come together and i’m really excited about it so i can’t help but post a WIP (the sitemap dropdown will be a scroll eventually) (also background art is by my friend @haruujin.bsky.social !!)

i'll have to repost my pikachu and mew sprites some other day because i forgot to make shiny versions at first and now they have them. if it wasn't clear i'm trying to make 32x32 sprites for every kanto pokemon, like mewheart's old set from the 2000s

so happy with how this one came out that i'm going to put hashtags on it #pokemon #sandslash #pixelart

a christmas present became a new year’s present! happy new year’s to my friend @haruujin.bsky.social

Happy New Year‼️

okay, like i thought, it was something completely stupid and i was just having a total brainfart. i am not sure how i didn't notice that the button in question had TWO click listeners attached because i had an old version of this somewhere else. so it was adding + removing in quick succession. oops!

why, instead of adding the open class from the div with an id of sitemap (which has no class when the page is initially loaded), is this seemingly just adding an empty string class to the div? it's not like i haven't done this a million times before so i'm probably just having a total brainfart

well yeah

throwing my hat in the ring and made a shiny bingo card for 2026! i'm bringing back a couple old, unfinished DTQs, as well as introducing my "crystal" (it's actually multiple games) DTQ that i've been wanting to do for ages, which is the top row + ninetales. the rest is random stuff for variety!

i made shiny bingos for 2024 and 2025 and then did not shiny hunt anything on them because of real life and depression getting in the way, so i’ve been feeling hesitant to try again, but i’ve been making some improvements the past few weeks and a friend encouraged me, so i think i might try again

i’ve been trying to make progress on website stuff the past couple days but the barometric pressure has been horrifically low ever since a cold front with a lot of wind started slamming us recently and as a result i feel totally wiped out and exhausted… wish i wasn’t so reactive to it

it’s a christmas miracle! i wasn’t counting hatches but this definitely went overodds. which is unfortunate, because it was meant to be a christmas gift for a friend. i guess i got it an hour before midnight at least!

merry christmas to those who celebrate! 🎄 and have a great day even if you don't!

RNG manipulation is really good for being gay (this was my christmas gift to them)

this is one of the best pokemon movies of all time and i eternally mourn the attention it could have gotten had the covid pandemic not screwed over its release. i wish more people knew about koko and i hope this movie’s poor release doesn’t mean pokemon movies are gone forever…

my friend's birthday gift to me finally belatedly got here in the mail and i will cry... they're so cute

i was inspired by mewheart's pokemon sprites and i made a little 32x32 pikachu. i am very tempted to make these for the entirety of gen 1 at least

even just making an incredibly simplistic eevee vpet for my javascript fundamentals class has really given me appreciation for just how much goes into the tiniest of actions. i made baby’s first state machine and baby’s first “draw every frame” function and felt like my third eye opened

i am so excited to get back to the BMF refactor once i’m done with this college semester. i am also simultaneously working on a secondary personal website project… lots of stuff to do on winter break! i really need to get better at time management next semester…

i’ve never seen a more beautiful youtube video in my life

i think we need to bring back calling RGBY “chromatics” and GSC “metallics” i have found out via old web that this is how some people differentiated between the two sets before a “pokemon generation” was a thing. even found a couple references to RS as “gems” but it seems to be phased out after that

i love old pokemon fansites but i always seem to end up scrolling through japanese ones because they’re more unique from each other and have more user-made content. the average webmaster age also seems to be older. it’s interesting to me how a lot of english ones are children copying each other

"So rare in fact, that the chance is 1 in 655361." i don't think that's correct actually

i found this old archived fansite with a bunch of handmade pixel icons of all the gen 1-3 pokemon and could not help myself to changing my icon to one of the adorable mews they had on there. you guys have to check these out, they're adorable web.archive.org/web/20040830... (use the left sidebar)

🩵 "monsters and animals" 💚 mutsumi wakaba/sakiko togawa 🩵 heavy angst 💚 60 minute challenge 🩵 gift for @mew.bluemoonfalls.com 💚 link in thread

it's my birthday!! i totally forgot to say on here. oops. i am 26 now...

New fic! This one is a gift for my friend @mew.bluemoonfalls.com for her birthday (and Christmas also technically) Anthology fic about Mutsumi and Sakiko! Chapter 1 of 4 is out now, with the rest coming by Christmas! #AveMujica archiveofourown.org/works/75650361

in honor of a chingling named Chingle from my friend’s 2008 pokemon ranch who i became obsessed with when i met him IRL for the first time, i shiny hunted “Shingle” for #RanchWeek ! we’ve come full circle haha. this was done with the radar in sendoff spring 🩷 ✨

In case you missed the announcement in my latest video: Ranch Week is starting in 12 hours! I'll be live for the whole week broadcasting My Pokemon Ranch filled with YOUR shinies! Just post shinies found in Generation 3 and 4 with #RanchWeek and I'll be putting them on the Ranch all week long!

Just discovered a seemingly undocumented quirk of my pokemon ranch - this Japanese exclusive event octillery that was given away for a very short time in the game! Idk why *I* have it but it has a unique model and everything!

i am home from pokefair and exhausted but i had a great time. at least one person heard about the event and came to it because of bluesky so thank you! very excited to do this again at pokefair next year (sounds like there might be two pokefairs instead of one... exciting)

some fun photos from today so far (i’ll still be here another couple hours!)

all set up at pokefair in gaithersburg MD today! come over if you want old gen mystery gifts (or anything else going on here!)

setting up the custom halloween themed event distribution for tomorrow

i’m aware this is a very last minute post but if you’re in the maryland area, i am going to be at pokefair tomorrow in gaithersburg giving out old gen mystery gifts! bring your old carts! (the photo below is from a prior event where i did the exact same thing)

question: has anyone ever used boot (dot) dev? is it actually any good for teaching how to program? i have no desire to use it, i just see it as a sponsorship segment in youtube videos a lot and was genuinely curious because you know. i make websites

before and after... this is definitely how i wanted these to look years ago but i didn't know how at the time. it's the small things in this refactor that are bringing me joy

last night before i went to bed, my girlfriend reminded me to also have fun and not just work all the time. they’re probably right, but i also didn’t know how to say “working on BMF is fun” before i passed out lol

finally taking a break after coding pretty much all of my waking hours. i'm tired. i think i'm all CSS and JavaScripted out lol. i got a lot done! i already have most of BMF's (mobile responsive) layout recreated from scratch with better code. still have a CSS to-do list but i'm getting there...
