NXX Video Game Headcanons

Rosa:

Avid player, plays multiple genres of games. She frequently drags all the guys into games together.

Does she play Genshin? — Absolutely. Lumine main.

Star Rail? — What do u think, her Pela is probably shredded.

Luke:

Grew up with Rosa, so he's a gamer by default. They played games together all the time, this guy has every type of console in his house.

Plays Nintendo games the most, he was probably into Zelda and Professor Layton.

Equal footing with Rosa in terms of skill, they don't really take games too seriously though.

Does he play Genshin? — Probably mostly does Spiral Abyss, otherwise he's goofing with Rosa in co-op. His gallery is full of photos. Heizou main.

Star Rail? — He's definitely playing, probably mains Jing Yuan.

Marius:

Absolutely a gamer in his free time, probably played with Giann sometimes when he was little.

Mostly plays PvP and FPS games— Valorant, Call of Duty, Halo, Star Wars. He's probably into Pokémon too.

Rosa kicks his ass at every game. He only manages to win if he teases her enough.

They played Phasmophobia together and he chickened.

Does he play Genshin? — He played a little when it first came out but dropped it after a little while. Definitely whaled on some of the early banners. Started playing again because of Rosa and grinded to catch up. C6 Childe main. (until he pulls newer characters) Star Rail? — Oh yeah, he's got it running in the back on his computer. He plays it more than Genshin. Blade main.

Artem:

Dabbles in video games, not a particularly avid player.

He probably had a Nintendo DS growing up, the man was born in 2001. He played Ace Attorney, Mario Kart, and Cooking Mama.

Only really plays when Rosa asks him to, he'll brush up on his skills in his free time so he can play decently with her.

Does he play Genshin? — He played the quests for the lore but he doesn't really do dailies or the Abyss. Built his characters so he could play with Rosa, he had dumb gacha luck and got C2 Zhongli, so he mains him for the co-op shield. Star Rail? — Rosa introduced it to him, Artem more so casually plays but he got Luocha out of stupid gacha luck and mains him. Vyn:

Nope. Never touched a console once. He's completely clueless.

Vyn grew up as nobility is Svart, he's unfamiliar with a lot of games. He mostly just played with toys by himself when he was tiny.

NXX probably introduced them to him and he was very eager to learn. Rosa very patiently taught him and he wound up having fun. He started to dabble more in his free time to get better tho because Marius being better than him was a crime and he wasn't going to let the other guys one up him.

Ends up liking RPG and simulation games the most, he psychoanalyzes characters and likes more laidback games. He would like Persona 5 and Stardew Valley.

Does he play Genshin? — Rosa really likes it so he decided to give it a try. He made a pretty garden in his teapot to run around with Rosa. Baizhu main. Star Rail? — Again, Rosa probably introduced him to the game. He doesn't like it as much as Genshin because he can't run around with Rosa, but he picks it up and likes the plot. Imbibitor Lunae main.

Do you have any particular naming traditions for your Pokemon? Like you typically name your Eevee X name if you're going to evolve them into a Jolteon, or you name your Vulpix Y name because you like it and now it's stuck.

My names are all over the place, mostly because there's so many from different games/eras of my life xD! Some that are on specific teams are made to match, like Karma (Shiny Kanto Ninetales from Y) & Dharma (Shiny Alolan Ninetales from Sun). My other Shiny Vulpix/Ninetales are Vesper, Velox, Sappho, Hestia, and Mozilla cause they're all from different games.

Some names are just to help me keep track of what build they are for Raids/PvP. Dewdrop (Azumarill) & Honeydew (Shiny Azumarill) are Water & Fairy Tera type builds, so it helps me figure out who's who quickly.

Some nicknames are silly but themed to the Pokémon. Paramore (Toxtricity), Magic Conch (Cloyster), and Emu Wars (Espathra). And honestly there's some like my Gallade and Leafeon I use a ton but never picked names for lol. I've been transferring my Pokémon to new games since FireRed and continued to use them over the years, so it's kinda like, once that's their name that's their name forever and I try not to repeat them.

#I have some very uncreative names like my Pt Team lol #Terra the Torterra and Star the Staraptor who have been with me since 2009 😭#They're all virtual pets/OCs to me with lore and personalities #I'm very attached to my data and pixels ;-;

Dhmis gaming Headcanons Headcanons!!!:

-Yellow likes to play Roblox on the computer :D

-Duck prefers to play the Sims, but he isn't very good at it, he kills his families for the funsies and mostly sees it as a death simulator. He may also play war games but won't allow Yellow to watch as he thinks they're too much for his weak mind.

-Red is a Minecraft epic gamer, he can wipe out the sickest plays in the world, the closest water buckets imaginable and the best in pvp... But he is constantly keeping a straight face so it's kinda hard to really tell if he's doing it because he is a pro or just plain lucky.

-Roy plays minesweeper but always looses on the last (very obvious) mine, he prefers to play solitaire which he does surprisingly good.

-Sketchbook (or Paige, however you call her) is a Splatoon fan, she'll go feral if she sees green, but any other color she thinks is really creative and beautiful.

-Tony isn't a fan of videogames or technology in general (he thinks its a waste of precious time) but Yellow got him to play and enjoy simple games like Purble Place or Majong.

-Shringold (idk how to type it lmao) is a great enjoyer of The Ms.Kitty lovematching game, but he's a little... Ya know, so he would be very selective with who he plays.

-Collin is the computer, he ain't playing most of the time 😭😭😭 he enjoys playing Roblox with Yellow but gets really competitive.

-Gilbert loves airplane simulators, he can see the whole world in those.

-The steak and Spinach can love cooking mama games!!! The peta one is their favourite :3.

-The lamp (I think the fandom calls him Larry) just enjoys chill games like Animal crossing or Stardew Valley.

-Ms.briefcase doesn't have the time to play, he is always working.

-Brandon plays League of legends why do you think he's unemployed.

-Coffin doesn't even know what a computer is.

-The twins play the Sims too!!! But they always make the perfect family, a mom, a dad, and the beautiful sons and daughters... If anything ruins it they will go feral and destroy everything only to start again.

-Warren is honestly more of a Valorant gamer, maybe even a World of Warcraft... Maybe genshin?

-Mr.choochoo doesn't even know what electricity is, he's still living in the steam age.

-Electracy is a huge gamer of all kind of games!!! But she really enjoys Pokémon, specially Pokémon Yellow.

Pokémon Teams for the ranchers:

My wall was full of Pokémon stuff so you know what that means- lmfaoooo. This was gonna be something quick but I had to go full detail lmfao.

Jimmy team:

Altaria (Shiny): Primarily because the shiny version is yellow like a canary and I always am bias for floofy wings Jimmy. Also canonically the pokedexes are like they sing so well that anyone who listens to them experiences dreamy wonderment. Also I want Jimmy to be able to hug what is pretty much a bird cloud pillow. Moves I would presume his Altaria would have is Perish Song (a move that makes any Pokémon in play faints in three turns) you know like THREE lives, Sing (a move that puts a target to sleep if it hits) primarily because canary singing in a coal mine etc, Play Rough (Deals damage and has a 10% chance of lowering target attack) primarily because that’s how Jimmy acts when he gets antagonized canonically lol. And his final move for his Altaria would be Will O Wisp (A attack that causes the target to become burned) because ya know coal equals fire.

Absol: look it’s literally called the disaster pokemon. It used to be known as the cause of said disasters but now recently it’s now trying to warn others of said disasters. Literally the most misunderstood Pokémon and it has so much in common with Jimmy. The moves I imagined his Absol has is: Future sight (deals damage, but does not hit until two turns after the move is used.) again eventual chaos in like 3 turns, Curse (raises non ghost Pokémon attack and lowers their speed) obviously because Jimmy is cursed in fanon, Double edge (Pretty much a move that deals damage but the Pokémon that used the move will lose 1/3 health) pretty much how Jimmy does pvp he will always hurt himself, Sucker punch (Attack that deals damage) look Jimmy has vibes if he was fighting someone he would use his manly fists.

Mudsdale(Shiny) : Look it’s the a horse that go do mud and sand attacks. And completely vibes with the Mesa as the shiny one matches the color scheme. (also I want Tango and Jimmy to be able to ride horse Pokémon together sue me). The moves the Pokémon has will be High Horsepower (attacks the target with their whole body) Look it’s one of the strongest attacks with literal horse in its name, Hyper Beam (A move that deals damage but the user needs to recharge) look this is one of the moves not isn’t like a grass type that is sorta like a gun. Mud Slap (a move that deals damage and makes the target lose accuracy), not only is it like throwing sand in someone face but also again gun fight energy. Roar (causes the Pokémon to flee if they are lower level etc) I won’t lie I chose this one because Jimmy is a loud mouth /Aff

Quagsire: Legit a easy going kinda dumb water and ground Pokémon. One of the most Himbo pokemon. Move set will be Water Gun (just does damage) I chose this because GUN. Muddy Water (damage and 30% chance of lowering accuracy) obv I chose this because swamp is muddy water. Dig (goes under ground) just cause MINE out of MINECRAFT, and finally Surf becayse Jimmy deserves to ride on his pal in the Oceon etc.

Leafeon: Literally not only does Jimmy have one of the cutest grass types but canonically Leafeons are sweethearts and don’t like to hurt other Pokémon (I’m bias tho because they are my fav eevee evolution). Moves the Leafeon would have: Charm (lowers target attack) and because canonically Jimmy flirts with so many men. Giga Drain (Drain the target hp) COUGH last life COUGH. Razor Leef (deals damage) gun but grass with crit hits more common. Leaf Blade (deals damage) Grass sword. Enough said.

Banette: Literally because of the toy Jimmy lore. Also the Pokédex is pretty much a abandoned doll gets pissed and evil which suits possessed doll Jimmy lore. The moves the Banette would have would be- confuse Ray (attack that causes confusion) clearly because Jimmy is always confused. Skill swap (move that like copies the target move) primarily because Jimmy def learns from others. Shadow claw (offense attack) refs the void energy of watchers. Helping Hand (boosts the attack of your partner Pokémon in double battles) LIKE YOU COULD SAY SOULMATES.

Tango Team:

Rapidash: LOOK LOOK this was inspired by asks in Hybbat box. Also canonically the fire doesn’t hurt the people they trust. So trainers could ride. Also bias because I want Jimmy and him to ride Pokémon horses together. The Rapidash moves would be is- Ember (attack that can burn) look it’s just adorable to have tiny sparks because netherborn lore. Flame Blitz (Attack that burn but also harms the Rapidash) YOU could say attacking one self could be Tango rage. Charm (lowers attack) Look Tango knows how to charm. Iron Tail (damage and might lower defense) because I feel like Tango would whack people with his tail therefore bam.

Luxray: LOOK HIS WHOLE FANON GIVES ME SUCH LUXRAY VIBES. Plus he is cat energy and Luxray is just a electric lion. Bite (damage and flinch) LOOK tango has Teef and probs does bite people. Spark (damage and maybe paralysis) because I always feel that tango machines spark way too much. Crunch (Damage) again tango got them Teef. Wild charge (damage but recoil) More Tango Rage Energy.

Metagross: primarily because canonically it’s just a living super computer and I feel like most redstoners would have one of them in their team. But it’s hilarious for tiny tango to ride on his Goliath of a Pokémon. The moves the Metagross would have will be- Metal Claw (damage and can raise attack) again fire cat energy tango has. Take Down (damage and has recoil) again rage tango vibes. Stealth Rock (move that throws hidden rocks around) because Tango likes his traps. And finally Psych Up (copies target stat changes) solely because Tango is such a hype man.

Alolan Ninetales: This is because Ninetales are foxes and foxes are cat like. I chose the Alolan version because of the Deep Dark Citadel skin tango has currently. That’s primarily ice based. And a Alolan Ninetales is also like magical. The moves would be- Nasty Plot (raise special attack) because Dungeon master Tango gives very much evil game master vibes. Ice Fang (damage that can freeze) again tango has Teef but ice flavored now. Blizzard (damage and can freeze) The deep frost citadel got have gotten covered in snow someway. And finally Dark Pulse (damage and flinch) Because Shulk and bad magics vibes.

Golurk: GOLURK IS PRETTY MUCH THE WARDEN! Enough said. The moves the Golurk would have would be- Nightshade (attack equals your level) because a warden is a boss mob so it deserves to be broken. Heavy slam (more damage the heavier the Pokémon) because wardens are big boys that are hecka scary. Shadow Ball (damage and lowers special attack) THIS IS PRETTY MUCH HOW THE WARDEN ATTACKS. And finally Iron Defense (raises defense) because wardens are so hard to kill.

Coalossal: now this Pokémon is literally coal and coal is the best metaphor for redstone. So all redstoners have a Coalossal or a pre evolution version. Plus all the coal mine and the canary fanon. The moves would be Tar shot (lowers speed and makes the target weaker to fire moves) this relates to Coal Mine Fanon. Smokescreen (lowers accuracy) coal mine smoke etc. Explosion (high damage but causes the user to faint) Tango rage again. And finally Incinerate (damage and burns berries) Tango full fire rage energy.

#team rancher #rancher duo #THIS TOOK ME LIKE TWO DAYS #feel free to comment if you like or not #or have other Pokémon that suits them better.

THIS is what Pokemon GO looked like in my area in 2018:

youtube

2018 iPhone Pokemon Go looking "rural"

THIS is what Pokemon Go looks like NOW (2024) where I live:

Well, I've been testing this for years, so there's definitively an ample amount of data that proves there's a group of saboteurs that target South Weymouth Massachusetts. There's also that no infamous incident in February 2020 on Reddit where they were bragging about sabotaging my area, and full on fighting with me. They even actively got me banned 3 times in 2020, and I had to change my identity, and pretend I was a dude from 2020-2022, and even changed my name 4 times. #PokemonGo

There's some evidence 🤔 it's connected to an Ingress beef as well. I've had a list of suspects as well. They seemed to have originally been targeting an Admin in my area, perhaps out of envy. They also seemed to have confused me with said admin, or thought I was his underling. That's not how we do things in Weymouth. We're not master & slaves, we're neighbors, n each player has their own unique areas of specialties.

Also, the god level players in Greater Boston live in Weymouth, not just masters of raids, getting Hundo, Shundo, n rare shiny Legendary Pokémon, but whom r naturally blessed w luck, somehow. Or, they're the very best GBL & PVP Players. I know who they r, we all know each other, do raids, share tips, help newbies, n coach people to achieve. We also cultivate tolerance, talking stuff out, n safety. We've had some bad experiences here n there, so we like women players n kids to be safe. We also interact w players in other towns, n car pooling is very popular.

As far as game play goes, we're good.

But, I'm talking about #NianticWayfarer

Because the vultures are REAL!

I've had to figure out, n navigate these punks. They appear to have OCD, n reverse psychology issues, n do stuff out of spite. There's a group of them (including on Reddit) n they take screen shots, probably have extra fake accounts, n they login to Wayfarer , n scour Wayfarer for stuff in Weymouth. Especially in South Weymouth, where we live. This has been going on since late 2019, when Wayfarer 1st went live.

We used to think it was so odd that all the best advice we dug up from Ingress players, as well as resources, for the new Wayfarer rules was not working out.

So, it was a common excuse of "lazy reviewers" or "lazy voters". But, I kept getting accused of being an "Abuser", and a "Racist". FOR PLAYING POKÉMON GO??? FOR SUBMITTING A WAYPOINT TO WAYFARER???

WHO DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO???

But, I noticed that while posting inside our local Discord server, for Wayfarer, if I told everyone WHICH locations I was submitting, they'd all fail, and quickly.

But, when I submitted stuff, and DID NOT TELL the Discord server thread which ones I was doing, I noticed those usually went through.

This was a very consistent pattern. But, everyone in the server was still very status quo oriented like "it's just lazy voters".

youtube

THEN IT HAPPENED!

IN February 2020, they started bragging! IN PUBLIC! ON REDDIT! N THEY CALLED ME "AN ABUSER". THEY ALSO THREATENED TO BAN ME, WHICH THEY ACTUALLY DID.

Here in Weymouth, we coordinate, n we can be very motivated & diligent, including myself. I coached people to get really good at this. I also took much of my strategy skills I learned from playing Ingress, to strategies on Wayfarer. [ Another Ingress thingy of mine. ]

These punks also would sabotage my Google maps account. They'd move my Google points out into the ocean, or the wrong locations. This is how evil they are. They also smeared me using a fake account in Discord. They know all my social media using my BlackUniGryphon names on them. I actually never even did anything to them. I've never seen them face to face. They r just vicious. Someone also hacked my original BlackUniGryphon Reddit account n I can't even recover it because they changed the email address. They also made a Reddit account using my Google email, n got it banned for really bad behavior, n there's nothing I can do to fix it, n it gets notifications for explicit gay sex stuff, that I can't even turn off. I didn't even know they made that account until long after it was banned, because I was busy XP grinding to Level up in Pokémon Go.

This is just SOME of the stunts they pulled.

But, to show u an example of the nonsense they group vote on, n coordinate as saboteurs, the reasons they give r literally the exact SAME, including from OTHER PLAYERS I KNOW that aren't even my account.

These r all submitted around the same time n from different accounts of different players, n all in Weymouth. SOUTH WEYMOUTH actually.

Notice they cited "Rejection Criteria" as "Temporary or Seasonal Display", or "Generic Business". Another bogus one is "Mismatched Location"

Notice how they're all the same?

They pick the same reasons, to intentionally sabotage it. Other times these locations were submitted, they'd use different coordinated rejection reasons that were exactly the same reason, as tho they pre-determined what the rejection reason would be. Like "BAD Photo" or "Orientation of the Photo", or "Blurry Photo", or "Racist", or "Abuse" or "Unsafe".

This time the saboteurs chose "Generic Business" or "Temporary".

Also interesting to note is, we haven't submitted anything in months except for 1 guy I know, and he gave up for a long while in Weymouth. I haven't submitted anything in months, other than Appeals...

Well, we did a batch, n u can see the dates showing January, then placed them on hold. Of those batches we did, we told no one publicly, just ourselves.

And, since the vultures were not on the prowl, they started getting approved. These were locations that were the stubborn ones. The ones that obviously go through in other towns. And, things getting approved started creating new PokéGyms as well. Plural.

So, after a while it's hard to keep it quiet, and we bragged a lil bit.

Well..... the vultures noticed, n went to Wayfarer, n sabotaged the last of the batch in Voting.

I've gone through this process over & over for years. All predictable patterns at this point.

Bur, the stuff that we, or I, couldn't get through in 2019-2022, is pretty much LIVE & in the Niantic games now. We know IITC MOBILE, we know Ingress, we know Wayfarer. We know how to change our writing styles, we know how to adapt. We know long term strategy. I even use decoys as a method to test if the vultures are active. I'll submit something intentionally knowing it's got a lower chance of passing (because I know the rules from the older systems) n when the vultures r out, it'll get rejected quickly. But, there's times when my decoys passed through. Which shows that it's subjective, and not objective.

Like I wouldn't expect a bland generic coffee shop, or plain or pizza takeout, to go through. In my opinion, it should be a special & unique one, or ethnic one. So, objectively that shouldn't really go through. But, ones that actually SHOULD COUNT N QUALIFY SHOULD go through. But, if it was in Weymouth it wouldn't, but in other towns it would, n did.

When it comes to being a hateful person, there's only so long u can keep that up, because it's toxic & draining. So, they often give up, n stop logging in to sabotage the area because we don't submit anything.

It's basically like applying principles from Algebra, or mathematics. Like subtraction is addition in reserve. Or, division is multiplication in reverse. Or, things like factors & variables. If u get more & more data that shows a result, we can plot that data.

We can find: trends, averages, rates, coronation.

And even tho originally there were no jerks in my face telling me they were sabotaging me/us, they eventually DID brag on Reddit. They also expressed their motives, which were often an attachment to this idea of weilding power over others, a drive to feel superior, or righteous. Or psychologically weaponizing rules. If u gotta behave like that to pretend u r the hood guys, n I'm the bad guy, u r seriously sick in the mind.

But, even BEFORE they bragged about it, I could tell something was up just by analyzing the patterns in the results, n treating as experiments using the scientific method.

I could think working backwards & forward, like Algebra using variables and factors.

I could also change the way I wrote my blurbs to see which tested better.

Despite the haters, I (and my Community) have turned a desolate place into a thriving one.

Anyways, I won't be mentioning names. There was at least 1 player from Reddit that we smoothed stuff over with.....

But, I won't be naming them. I still will do raids with naughty players because I find they can overcome prejudice by exercising tolerance. I also believe in talking stuff out. But, let's be clear, some people actually r sick in the head, n WANT TROUBLE. If they talked it out, they wouldn't have strife, drama, n trouble because it's something they feed on.

I've also noticed that, sometimes some people can suddenly change. It does happen. N there's no logical explanation. Sometimes, not everything is logical.

U also need to be flexible, but also not end up inside a trap of some sort, mentally, metaphorically, energetically, egotistical, pridefully, ideologically, or otherwise.

There's no 1 set way of doing anything, n no 1 definitively correct method or WAY of accomplishing it.

No good deed goes unpunished.

U could do everything 100% perfectly flawless, n still get screwed. Because it's not actually about being right. N that's WHY it stings.

But, get stung enough times, n u get thicker skin, or u don't even feel it. It's just a number.

youtube

I coached so many players through this same mayhem. Remember, it's NOT REALLY ABOUT YOURSELF, IT'S FOR THE COMMUNITY. YOUR PRIDE MEANS ACTUALLY VERY LITTLE....

But, let's keep it real, the BRAGGING is built into the game... so, u should show ur accomplishments....

I honestly wouldn't have even cared.... but, those vulture made me into this.

HATERS CAN KISS IT!!!!

My big fat Pokemon rant:

Hey there lovelies, this is going to be a long rant about my thoughts on the state of the Pokemon games.

WARNING: Personal opinion ahead, proceed with caution!

I love Pokémon, if you can't tell, I'm basically a Poké-artist at this point. So it pains me to have to do this but I can't leave these feeling inside any longer. I feel like the last genuinely good Pokemon game was either Black and White 2 or X and Y. In gen 7 (Sun and Moon) the hand holding was absurd, I remember just wanting to play the games and was interrupted several times in the beginning of the games. But I could have excused that if not for the Ultra games... they're DLC for Sun and Moon at the full price of a new game and it bothers me that they did this...

this brings us to Scarlet and Violet, the broken, unfinished first open world games of Pokémon's history. Before this, gamefreak experimented with Legends Arceus, in my opinion the best recent pokémon experience. it has a lot of flaws, like not being able to play PVP matches, the lack of breeding and proper competitive training, the graphics, textures and, some times, lag.

It looked like a Gamecube game. People kept comparing it to TLOZ BOTW and why it couldn't look like it. Is the Switch too weak? NO! the switch showed time and time again that it can handle graphically complex and beautiful games, like monster hunter and dragon's dogma. So, is the Pokemon team this incompetent? Remember pokemon Let's go eevee and pikachu? say what you will about those games but they looked polished and beautiful!

Also, you could ride your own Pokemon. But yes, not the same type of game, so I can't compare. And hey, graphics aren't important and I had so much fun with Legends, I also never encountered any glitches besides the camera going through the floor.

Sword and shield are not amazing but at least they have some polish! no major glitches, fun game play, decent graphics... where they fail is in the areas we've learned to expect from pokemon, the character pop ins, the grass growing, the textures loading and in the animation department - If a character is going to do some "complicated" animations, the screen just fades to black, sound effects play, fades back with the character in a new place... It's 2023, those "animations" are inexcusable! Also the horrible and recycled character animations:

but that alone doesn't ruin the games, it's just that Pokemon is a BILLION dollar company! You'd think they could afford good animators. But I actually like Sword and Shield so let's talk about Scarlet and Violet. Man, where do I start with this. I mean, we've all seen the glitch compilations online, but I myself have only seen the regular going through the floor ones, but that's no excuse. the character animations are better (specially during cut scenes) but nothing to write home about. What really bugs me is the amount of lag that almost makes the game unplayable to me. if they weren't ready to make an open world game, they shouldn't have. if they needed more time, they should have delayed it.

the Pokemon and overworld characters keep popping in like in the previous games but it's somehow worse(?) you'd think Mesagoza wouldn't have lag because it´s closed off and has a loading screen but you'd be wrong. the towns and the ppl in them lost their souls, you can't go in the buildings and NPCs have nothing to say. The graphics are, somehow, worst than in sword, shield and legends! (legends had those texturing problems but was still very pretty).

Sure legends isn't a real open world game, but need I remind you BOTW runs on the same hardware?

And what other Open world and semi-open world games are there for the switch with much more complex graphics and textures that run without lag?

Meanwhile Scarlet and Violet here looking like a game from the 2000s

But one thing it did right was making the Pokemon textures better.

But if that's why the games are unfinished, I don't want them.

let's talk about the new gimmick now, the tera raid battles. they´re a mess, there´s nothing else to say.

The tera Pokemon are fine and a good addition but the raids are almost unplayable. I can't tell what's going on half the time! Sometimes my Pokemon disappears or goes through the floor. Sometimes no one moves for 5 minutes, the menu is gone, you can't input commands, everyone goes invisible, the tera mon is not there and then someone died 5 times, it's all over and I did nothing! WTF!

you know what I loved and was fun? Dynamax raids! Why not just do the same but with tera mons??? I´ll never know. who the fuck made these games? The B team? Probably the Z team!

If it sounds like I'm being too harsh, it's because I love Pokemon, but I hate this. I don't want this. I really like Scar/Vio's Story and characters but I could not enjoy this game the way I wanted. It's not a money issue! give your guys more time to make games!

And to finish things off, here's what I'dd add or fix:

- Let me mass release Pokemon in boxes! GOD!!! I do a lot of breeding! I need this! Pokemon Legends had it and it didn't had breeding WTF!!! - if your'e doing an open world RPG with a leveling system, please have level scaling! it's not hard to implement! I got lost, beat the gyms in the wrong order, the games overall was a cake walk. if your afraid it'll be too hard for the little babies just have - easy - medium - hard - difficulties! that should have been in the games by now! - Give me a reason to want to replay the league and play on the tournaments! by now I have full teams of competitive level 100 mons, but the tournaments keep the "high" levels of the late game and stops scaling them, so if I want to test out my teams, I can't. Also the prizes could be actually good! like battle items or mints or ability patches. Make the tournaments hard!!!! it's post game!!! it can be hard!!!! Also throw us a bone and add old characters participating in the tournaments like in Black and White 2! - why can't I see the meal power timer screen while camping? that's just weird! I want to know how much longer I have egg power on! why can't I see it!!! makes no sense! (also if you're making a sandwich beware of the tiny earthquakes that happen during the making of the sandwich... much polish) - for the shiny hunters: Legends did it right. There's an audible queue when a shiny spawns, a visual effect and they DO NOT despawn! Meanwhile here I am looking at a group of Flabébé like:

and if you look away for 3 seconds, it's GONE!!!

also can we talk about the random balls? yes, the ones that show up sometimes when you go inside rooms or during cut-scenes:

yeah, what's up with that???

What do I want for the future of Pokemon? Finished, polished fun games please. Also Megas, but Megas are controversial, I loved them. this is a minor thing but I'd like a proper character creator. Most of the ppl playing are adults and we can only play as 10 year olds... why cant I be a middle aged man with a full beard chasing pokemon around the world to be the very best?!

I'm done ranting! I think I said everything that was on my mind. I still love Pokemon, I'm gonna keep playing this broken ass game. Feel free to agree or disagree with me, and tell me how I cherry picked my examples XD I'd genuinely love to know your opinions on all of this.

Stop defending billion dollar corporations just because they give a product you love! sometimes they need to be called out on their bullshit.

Have a good one.
