me explaining to the other trainers that apricorns are unknown outside of Johto because of deliberate suppression by the Silph and Devon corporations to present artificial pokeballs as the only means of capturing pokemon and establish regional monopolies after they eliminate renewable sources
Jessie doesn't nerd out often but when she does, it's about snakes or fashion. After she released Arbok and sent Seviper to HQ, I feel like she missed them so much she just got deep into ophiology
Whenever I see a post about Miette the cat, I always think about the Miette from the anime, and I in turn think about Serena owning some naughty Espurr...
I remember watching one of the Kalos League episodes in Japanese. Since the episode just aired, the only english subtitles available were really bad ones.
In this episode (I believe it was Ash/Satoshi vs. Sawyer/Shota), everyone's surprised by Hawlucha wearing a fancy outfit when sent out, and a flashback was shown on how he got the outfit. He went up to Serena holding a cloth, and the subtitles showed up as, "I was thinking..." as he wore the cloth like a cape (indicating that he wanted her to make him an outfit).
Mind you, he just said his cry.
The flashback ends, and it cuts to Hawlucha strutting a pose and shouting a battle cry, which the subtitles translate as, "For Mexico!" I stopped watching that translation.
Sometimes I like to think biology and taxonomy as a field is, if anything, even more complicated in the pokemon universe than it is in ours? Like it’d be really funny if the seemingly straightforward, reliable, and intuitive systems that are explained to us in the game is just the simple version given to young people who tend to be just starting out in their relationships with pokemon while across the country you have like. Professor Sycamore giving speeches about how much oversight was required to formally accept Fairy as a valid typing and getting derailed by a pundit talking about the Flying type and he’s like “Don’t talk to me about the flying type if you so much as look at the Flying type you’ll get into about eight taxonomical arguments that have been going on longer than you’ve been alive”
next door you have people arguing for the billionth time whether or not Cleffa should be recognized as a True pre-evolution of Clefairy or if the differences in its anatomy aren’t significant enough to classify and there’s at least one school of thought that Evolution doesn’t exist and the only real pokemon are final evolutions, so neither pikachu nor pichu are their own creatures they’re just immature and/or neotenous raichu.
Somewhere else in the world you have a paleontology conference discussing the latest fossils found of the ancient pokemon basculegion and reconstruction implications only for a time traveler to slam the rear doors open like “I SAW GOD, WAS THROWN BACK IN TIME, AND BASCULEGION DID NOT LOOK LIKE THAT,”

another episode of "me remembering I have a Tumblr I can post art on" today we have a piece of Pokemon gen 9 fanart i did as sort of a spiritual successor to a gen 8 drawing I did back in 2019
Uuuuh more Scarlet and violet stuff, But not really spoilers???? Idk if I should tag spoilers even, anyway-
I believe this is the first time ever where I truly believe mixing the guy and girl protagonist is the way to go for me, mostly because the divorced parents jokes will never not be funny.
And also polyamory-
The ending of the game? beautiful, and I fully believe that all of them start developing feelings for eachother and decide that "welp, guess we know what to do"
What better than a she/her, a they/them, a he/him and a hacker in a loving relationship?~
Everyone talks about how Nemona is weird for constantly badgering you to battle. But can we actually take a look at who the ACTUAL unhinged psychos of this friend group are?
Miss Penny 'I accidentally became a mafia boss and thought hacking the government to steal its money was a good idea', Mr Arven 'I fought demigods to steal their potentially poisonous plants which there is a SOURCE saying will make you IMMORTAL and I'm gonna feed it to my dog, my friend, and myself', and you who fights God's, Demigods, the mafia, and does the gym/E4 on top of it all.
And Miss Nemona 'Student Council President, Straight A Student, loves a highly regulated government sanctioned activity'.
Let's all just be honest here....the reality is that Nemona would be the Mom!Friend with the Unhinged Goblin trio that is the MC, Arven, and Penny on baby leashes. Just desperately trying to stop them from being killed/arrested.
