It looks more like a claw than a tooth. Weird nonetheless

That's what I thought too but like I'm no biologist or anything so idk. Dad said it was definitely a tooth tho so I'm just kinda going with that lol

[mallardmonster]

Dad and I were cleaning the attic earlier, it had been a while since we touched any of the stuff up there. There was nothing super noteworthy but I found some old boxes with a lot of different stuff in them, there were floppy discs and an old computer mouse and some books. I wouldn't have really cared except that dad's never been a computer guy and probably didn't even get one until floppy discs were not a thing anymore, also also there was this thing

I checked the pic Suicune showed me and. I think it's the tooth. Or it looks really similar to it idk. Dad didn't really remember where it was from but the other stuff was like sentimental stuff he had gotten from a friend like decades ago.

The bone's just sitting on my table now. Lile dead things do. Idk why I took it but I just kinda, felt compelled to, I guess.

I don't wanna say I like found the ghost or something because that sounds stupid. But idk

Okay my site's updated, all the Crystal things are on there now. I uploaded the video on youtube to embed it, let me know if it doesn't work for some reason. In general let me know if something breaks or is weird I'm so bad at like double checking these things

#neocities #websites #website #I guess this is like me making some closure that I wasn't given or something #idk at least there's something more interesting on my site than just weird dreams

[mallardmonster]

Um. I, guess I'll put these updates to my website tomorrow, just to finish that page. Idk what else to really do, idk what I even did for Suicune in the end tbh. I don't know if it's still there, like Stadium 2 literally does not think I have Crystal inserted and I don't have a Gameboy to double check things with, but I guess the cartridge is fucked. And my Pokemon are gone again.

Idk why it makes me feel so terrible

#this has been. idk. this sure has been #I'm gonna go lay down maybe I'll feel better tomorrow

[mallardmonster]

It didn’t let me exit the game, or my controls stopped registering or it froze or something, I had to reset the console. Stadium doesn’t recognize the cartridge anymore. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to like, do now.

#pokemon crystal #pokemon gsc #pokemon #I just like. Sat there for a while this just feels so. Like that's it?? #but it also. it said my name. idk how it knows it when I never used it as my trainer name or whatever #this feels rly fucked up idk how I'm supposed to go to bed now

[mallardmonster]

Update: got a Pokegear call from Suicune. It told me it wanted to talk again, and I found it on the daycare route.

Interesting considering I didn’t even have the opportunity to say anything

I said yes

The text it has open now is just asking me if I’m ready. My phone has like no space so I can’t really do long videos, hence why I’ve been posting pics instead, but I think if I temporarily delete an app or two I’ll have enough to record something short. I’ll probably post it afterwards unless the game shows me like. Idk a dead body or whatever haunted games are supposed to do. Stay tuned I guess

A round of applause for my dad for driving to town and getting us pizza for dinner 👏

Suicune is so badass I bet he drinks fresh gatorade from a natural spring in the ilex forest

[mallardmonster]

I’m sort of unsure what to do next but also weird shit keeps happening in the game, I guess that surprises no one tho

First up, the Magnemites on the route are gone. I also can’t encounter any Pokemon by surfing, and somehow every single NPC in Goldenrod disappeared overnight, except for this one

It didn’t disappear after that, but I also couldn’t interact with it anymore. No idea what any of that really means honestly, it just feels like a bunch of disconnected shit

The other thing is this empty spot in my party

I mean it has to mean that I’m still missing a Pokemon right but I can’t remember what else I had. Suicune’s still gone so I can’t really ask if it has clues for me or anything either, I’ve checked everywhere on the map and it’s just nowhere for some reason

Idk I guess I’ll keep the game on for now? Not sure if I have a reason to keep poking around in it anymore though

#pokemon gsc #pokemon crystal #pokemon #if nothing changes like by the end of the week I think I'll turn off the console #because like I can't keep it on forever and idk if N64s are even designed to be on for this long #like inb4 it spontaneously combusts or something

[mallardmonster]

I caught it in the first ball wtf

It's shiny. I forgot about it but it was the first shiny I ever caught, like right before the fourth gym when I was grinding for levels, I remember I was so hyped about it even tho its shiny isn’t super different from the regular one. I don't think I used to like Magneton so much before I got this one, but now it’s like. Idk. Up there as a favorite I think

Also it’s my flash slave which checks out lol

Mallard age 6 out there making excellent moveset decisions yet again

GUYS

#pokemon crystal #pokemon gsc #pokemon #or 5 or 7 I forget how old I was exactly #I guess it was a shiny hunt after all

I saw suicune outside but my dad shot it because he thought it was a coyote

[mallardmonster]

Sorry it’s been a minute. Went outside and made muffins (they were tasty). Didn’t end up turning off the N64 so I guess I’m back to this again. Idk I think it’s the morbid curiosity that’s pulling me along

Anyway I’ve been encountering Magnemites, I guess you could officially call it shiny hunting now. I used the rest of my money to get pokeballs just to have spare ones, I hope it’s enough

On more interesting news Suicune called and asked to talk. It was kinda long, too long for me to transcribe it (I didn’t even take pics of it after a while), but I’ll try to summarize what it said

I didn’t get mail prompts and it didn’t really ask me questions either. It was kinda like it was monologuing, it kept talking about the sea in a lot of detail, how it misses the breeze and the saltwater in its hair. It was sorry or like, apologetic about how it left its room for some reason. It asked me if I collected seashells (it apparently did that) and if they were all small and white and fragile or if I had ever found bigger and sturdier ones that let you listen to the ocean when you put them against your ear. I guess it was a rhetorical question because it didn’t give me a chance to answer it.

It told me about an old bone it gave to a loved one once, a tooth it found lying in sand by the beach. How that almost made it cry for some reason. Then it laughed and stopped talking and its sprite kinda just. Teleported away. And then it showed me this image

It went away when I pressed B. I, guess that’s the tooth. Looks more like a claw to me tho

Idk what any of this really means but it made me wish it was warmer so I could go swimming again

Half of Route 32 and Route 33 The Johto Redrawn project is nearing completion. I can’t wait to share the full map with you guys within the next couple weeks.

Idk when but the guy in front of the radio tower was gone suddenly so I investigated it today. I remembered it being a pain in the ass to navigate but it really isn’t that bad especially when all the NPCs are gone for some reason

Ok almost all of them are gone, I found the guy that had been blocking the door and he had something to say this time that. Kinda freaked me out?

That was in my fucking dream I remember hearing someone say that in my dream and I don’t know why but it was in this game

I didn’t take more pics I just kinda. Idk I just kept pressing A like on autopilot or something. The dialogue was something about like the passage of time and how it erodes things and how technology evolves and decays and sand gets in the circuit board and destroys the rest of it. He disappeared after the text box closed and I took a break to like. Calm down and shit. Idk this feels really messed up and it’s getting kinda hard to continue playing it just feels too fucking real idk how to explain it

I went to the fifth floor after that tho and found a new guy

I remember he evolved just in time to learn Faint Attack, it was a school night and I was supposed to be asleep but I wasn’t. Most people at school had Espeons or the other evolutions and they wanted me to trade this to them, I don’t think I ever accepted their offers tho

Also this was my cutter apparently

Guess I’m stuck with the pinnacle of HM moves

I think I’m gonna take a break from this for a bit and like. Do other stuff. Like bake or something idk just anything but this. If I don’t turn off this fucking console I guess I’ll start encountering magnemites next bc my fifth Pokemon was a Magneton and maybe I’ll find one. Tho like all my other guys have been ridiculously high-leveled so idk if that's gonna work out fingers crossed tho

#pokemon crystal #pokemon gsc #pokemon #idk what else I could do anyway #I'm ok now tho I took a break after that weird shit #like it still bothers me but it's not making me sweat bullets rn
