Pokémon has my favorite NPCs in all of video games. Just a thousand people telling you "There's nothing I love more than having a Pokémon as a friend!" and then every once in a while, some dude is like "If I died alone in my house, would my Pikachu eat me?"

Due to Jirachi only waking up every 1000 years, the Jirachi event in Pokopia will not be repeated until 3026. Please plan accordingly.

You're telling me this vanilla is bi?

"Look Jax, I know we don't get along, but I REALLY need to evolve my Kadabra, can you please trade with me?"

Me & my first Pokemon game!

I fat-fingered a soft reset for Partner Cap Pikachu as the game was still loading the Pokemon summary screen so I have no idea if it was shiny and tbh I deserve that for this post

Happy pride

Omg it's Pride Month! The month of my birth! Which was great foreshadowing on the universe's part to me growing up to be shiny Toucannon (bisexual).

“wahhhh i can’t get wifi on my train so i can’t send teams messages and sit in meetings annoying everyone” fuck you. bring a nintendo switch and play pokemon like a real adult

Group projects be like

Shiny hunting from bed with our new projector is peak cozy

Definitely going to be between Nickit and Yamper since those are the two shinies that aren't already available in Go, but at least it's not going to be a total blowout for one unreleased shiny vs three released ones like last time.

Managed to get one on the board for #daweekend at the last minute. Rise up Klang gang.✌️

One of the cool instances of Pokemon not explaining stuff to you in-battle is that "mist swirled around the battlefield" and "the opposing team became shrouded in mist" both mean totally different things and you get an explanation of neither

every single pokémon character before a fight: the fate of my life and everything i believe in rests on that one battle. and that’s why i must defeat you! every single pokémon character after a fight: wow that was fun! i love losing! thanks for beating me!

Fun fact: Every single one of Zangoose's Pokedex entries mentions Seviper. The reverse is *almost* true, but Seviper's FRLG entry (which is reused for Scarlet) doesn't mention Zangoose.

Pokemon name I like way better in another language: Blacephalon in French is "Pierroteknik" - from "pierrot", meaning "clown", and "pyrotechnic"

Used to be completely apathetic about Tangrowth as a Pokemon, but the things that have improved my opinion of it are: 1) Pokopia 2) the freaking weeking

Hey You know that time you accidentally soft reset too early, before you could actually check the Pokemon? Yeah? That's when you would have gotten the shiny. Just thought you'd wanna know.

Shiny Budewsday on this #DustoxDuesday!

Well, now that my bonus disc has finally fulfilled its lifelong purpose, I think it might be time to challenge it to dispense a different kind of Jirachi. One with a different color, mayhaps. 🤔

Found the COOLEST claw machine ever at a local game shop

I just noticed the silly phrasing when I send out my Trevenant of "Go on, To Go On!". That wasn't even intentional - it was named as a part of continuing this silly joke with myself. "Even Try" is currently on Regieleki duty.

We have a winner! Regidrago shines first after 1802 SRs!! 🥳

Ok so I saw a list of Pokemon gender differences and saw Girafarig's listed as "Female's body is more yellow", and thought they meant the shade of yellow was slightly different between male and female. And I felt crazy for a second, like, "Huh? Are they different colors? Have I never noticed that??"

how come i can’t just stay at home and play pokemon all day it’s not fair

Just hit me that literally the only mythical where there's zero way to get it in present day is Zarude. Technically there's no way of getting Victini officially in the main series either, but there's at least the DNS exploit, and its research in Go isn't time-gated. But Zarude has nothing.

Quickest I've ever gotten one of these lmao

It is done. Two months of playing, five games, three regions. I have successfully assembled a complete generation 3 living dex from scratch. What an incredible journey. A feat I dreamed of as a starry-eyed kid playing Emerald for the first time and wanting to experience every bit of it.

Pokemon brings gay ppl together ❤️

Watching Absol's Pokepark Kanto video and learning that the Japanese term for shiny is "irochigai" - meaning "differently colored" - made me think about how it's kinda weird our term focuses on the sparkles rather than the color, when the color is the thing that people really care about.

Obviously Lance is the most iconic Dragon-type specialist in Pokemon history, but in terms of design, Drake easily clears him imo. Not sure how controversial of a take that is.

Been awhile since I posted on here (I’ll try to be more active!!) but DUSTOX DUESDAY IS HAPPENING! This is an event where we all hunt in Eterna Forest however we want and see what shines! If you find any shinies, feel free to post with #DustoxDuesday 💕

Doing a SR hunt for a Switch game on a Switch 2 isn't full odds because the Switch 2's faster load times give you an unfair advantage. That's basically like using speed-up on an emulator. You did 10k encounters for Arceus on a Switch 2? Get fucked, method hunter.

Oh boy, time for the shiny hunting community's yearly "multi hunting isn't full odds" discourse

There's a fucking Malcolm in the Middle reference in Ruby & Sapphire?? 😭

4/20 shiny hunting challenge where a group hunts every Pokemon that's a nickname for weed in Brian David Gilbert's Perfect Pokerap

Underrated joke tbh

HOW TF had I *never* found a 1/8192 shiny until I started deliberately hunting them last year, yet I've now found TWO completely random ones in the course of this national dex quest?? 😭

If you see yourself here then you're officially cool in my book ✌️
