GLADION FROM POKEMON SUN AND MOON?!?!? I haven’t gotten over those games. People can hate on them all they want, but I will love them forever. Also in casr it wasn’t obvious, my main comfort character has come full circle back to Gladion(I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HOLY MOLY). A few of these drawings aren’t very good but I don’t have the heart to erase them so they stay.
this can be because you liked all the starters a lot, or wasnt into any of them for a gen, or whatever other reason.
if you get multiple games in a gen/replay games and choose different starters for each game/playthrough, then you can take into consideration if you had any difficulty deciding who youd have as a starter on your first playthrough.
this is gonna sound so backhanded but after 3 letdowns in a row from pokemon (followed by a game which isnt terrible but i dislike because of how much it fucked up the plot of sm), then a game that i genuinely really love and want more in the style of and largely because of how it deviates from the main series, im genuinely so shocked that i love scarlet and violet as much as i do. like when i was going through that tutorial i was just cautious and waiting for the other show to drop and be bored at best, but like, graphic glitches aside, it never came. it stayed really fun and charming
I may be a bit lazy in writing further thoughts on Horizons atm but be assured: I still love it a ton ton ton. It has not slowed down. Heck, I actually enjoy current slower pace chill arc because it gives us a moment to breathe before more heavy stuff comes their way. And they're doing a pretty good job at promoting Paldea 'mon, which I appreciate! (unlike certain other series <.< AHEM!)
We're fast approaching the first anniversary of Horizons thou, and that makes me wonder if it has any plans relating to it, or if it will end it's run before it. Judging by current eps, I'm expecting the series to last a bit longer, BUT, I expect Terapagos stuff to end before anniversary, or a bit past it. Not much reason to stall the Terapagos plot further than that.
Very excited to see how today's ep holds out and, I may have accidentally spoiled myself on a future ep.... oh boi.
Two birds of a feather and two that couldn't be more different. Aloa's got that mean but good older brother vibe of the two. Hisui's very sensitive but don't worry the baja blast is very flat
(also may have rendered this doodle a little too much)
thinks abt "you know, leon... when he was young, he didn't have many friends. he was probably too busy helping around the house, & taking care of his little brother, & didn't get to play with kids of his age much. he'd sometimes spend time with [sonia], his childhood friend, but that's all. but then... one day, he met a charmander. ever since he learned how to battle with pokemon, he's been surrounded by so many people, friends & rivals alike. yes... pokemon really have expanded his world."
