wait i’m genuinely so obsessed w ur designs and everything for the pokemon au 😭💖 they’re making me wanna restart my old pkmn games and play omg xie lian having a lucario made me so happy lucario was my eternal fave

mu qing is so cute and fluffy!!! i love every single outfit like oml <3 xie lian is the prettiest in the entire world all the time and i love the backstories for everyone they’re so cool 🫶🏼 would u ever write a fic or smth for this?

anyways ur art is so so beautiful!!! i hope u have a wonderful day :]

thank you so much!! :DDD tbh i started to brainrot about unova again and it just steamrolled into the latest interest with tgcf and then suddenly it all snowballed out of control, so i'm glad everyone seems to like my sillies

AND THANK YOUUU i love outfit design <3 trying to take canon outfits and mesh them w/ pokemon fits..

As for a fic: writing isn't exactly my strong suit, so I was thinking more along the lines of comics/animatics/sequential images to tell any stories or capture any moments i have in my head right now :3 but a story is there! i just don't know how to put it onto paper haha

i'm still so sad i don't like skeledirge. like in theory i should, it has all the elements. sick typing, cool inspirations, based on one of my favorite types of animals, has a little bird friend. and yet somehow despite being a fire ghost skeleton crocodile singer it just doesn't do it for me. the execution falls flat.

#and no i am not going to like it just because it has four legs #that's a take i've seen before and... huh? bipedal vs quadrupedal is not bad vs good design #even if you feel bipedal starters are overdone... #i mean if you like it for that reason more power to you #but just that alone won't do it for me #(ironically i like its design more when it stands up LOL) #(i feel like the posture is less awkward) #im just so sad he's a crocodilian but somehow doesn't have any of that crocodilian charm for me... #and if u were curious my favorite final starter evo in sv is meowscarada but i chose quaxly in my game (did not evolve)

Game 6: SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of The Millennium (Jan 2023) 💖

There is always someone more talented than you, that old saying? I think this game is encompasses that. I honestly didn't think I get such an outstanding fighting game experience on the little Neo Geo Pocket, but here The Match of The Millennium is to tell me exactly that it is what it says on the box. There is so much love and dedication to this game, and it's sources of material. From the various character sprites to mini games to it's music, this game shines above and beyond the library of Neo Geo Pocket.

Nearly every character in this game has their own soundtrack, additional super moves to unlock, and unique introductions to other characters. To say that this game has personality is honestly underselling it. While understandably the idea of locked super moves and secret characters has been a hot button issue with fighting games; the way The Match of The Millennium does it in an Unobtrusive way. You unlock fighters through beating arcade mode, and on various difficulties you unlock more blocks that are blocking said new character to be added to the roster. In addition, everything you do gets you a certain amount of money to spend on various goodies, most of which being super moves. In addition to arcade and versus mode, you can play the SNK Vs. Capcom Olympic mode to get more money to spend. What makes Olympic so interesting tho is that instead of regular fighting game stuff, we also get a variety of mini games to play featuring characters from either company. While each game may have varying amount difficulty, there is honestly enough here to at least charm a player to play it.

I don't want to be selling the fighting for this game short though as it more than holds up it's own compared to other Neo Geo Pocket games. Heck, I'd even argue that The Match of The Millennium is such a well done fighter that it gives plenty of console games a run for it's money. The controls are just so responsive, they kept everything simple, and in a lot of ways plays better than some other versus fighter games. You're honestly just going to be getting a lot fast paced fighting akin to street fighter II rather than the touch of death comboing the likes of Marvel vs. Capcom tend to have. While both types of fighting are a blast to play, it was clear why they made the game the way they did, and honestly I feel is a good showcase of how simple is sometimes better.

SNK did an amazing job with The Match of The Millennium. If there is any game that convinced me the power of the Neo Geo Pocket, it be this game. While I doubt we will ever see a rise of the Neo Geo, I'm at least thankful for making such a simple robust versus fighting game that has uddles of charm like The Match of The Millennium does. If you haven't had the chance to play this game, and consider yourself a fan of fighting games, don't miss out on this one.

have anything new to add for the secret husband au 👀

👀 we’ve kinda touched on season 6 a bit here and there, but why not dedicate a whole response to it :3c

I think season 6 is their softest season. not that they aren’t ridiculously soft and loving in other seasons because they definitely are. but season 6… they’ve been reunited after two long and very difficult years. grian’s got some trauma, scar’s got some fears. they have to relearn one another

and it starts small. they have dinner together a lot. scar takes grian out on dates. grian builds his first ever nest in scar’s lil pirate cave. they spend a lot of nights just… together

the first time they go flying together is amazing, so breathtaking. scar hasn’t seen grian look so happy like that in a while, he looks at peace in the sky

scar is there when grian struggles with himself and his place on the server, there to pick him up and hold him close

season 6 is also the first time where scar preens grian’s wings <3 there’s a… lot that they learn that night, whoops

I think a few of the hermits come up to grian and thank him. they mention how upset scar was, how bad he was doing before grian came along. and they’re genuinely grateful because scar is so cheerful and bright, and he’s doing much better. and when grian sees scar later he all but tackles him and smothers him in love (and also apologizes for being gone for so long, that scar was that bad without him)

and the prank war!!!! concorp may be supplying supplies to both sides, but we all know scar is g team. he listens to grian plan pranks and builds and offers his own input, helps build on his ideas. he’s also totally shown his bias in giving g team stuff that team star doesn’t get :p

sahara vs concorp is fun too. when they do that prank with the sand, scar comes home covered in it. and he does quite a bit of complaining. face plants right into grian’s lap with a loud whine of “griiiian” while his pesky husband just laughs at him and starts to brush some of the excess sand out of his hair. and— “something wrong, scar?” “sand? really? sand?! cub and I spent hours cleaning it up!” “aw, poor baby. sahara had to send a message somehow!” “you couldn’t have, I don’t know, used signs?!” “where’s the fun in that?” “griiiiiii sand is so coarse! and it gets literally everywhere!” “ah, but a small price to pay for competition in business”

and demise??? oh my goodness demise. grian has a field day with teasing scar when he dies. and they have to set ground rules “no scar you cannot kill me when we’re sleeping in the same bed or nest. husband time is sacred time, demise does not exist in our home.” scar is over the moon when grian joins the dead team because they can scheme together and be menaces with one another

also with the area 77 stuff, grian Definitely tried to flirt with scar in order to get into that big building where his time machine was being kept. we’re talking the whole pushing up against the wall (a funny thing to do when your husband is like a foot and then some taller than you) and grian’s leaning in to whisper “don’t suppose you could let me into that there building, mm? just for a few minutes?”

scar is a Strong, Strong man in that moment

I don’t think they talk about what exactly happened with the watchers for a good bit into season 6. of course they have a small talk initially, one where grian kinda explains what happened with evo. but he never goes into the nitty gritty. just implies things for scar to pick up on. and it’s not until it’s been a long good while that grian ever mentions the watchers and what they did to him. scar never pushes, just sits and waits until grian is ready to talk and open up. and he tells grian as much multiple times

Thoughts on the Finneon line, including the beta Lumineon design vs. the one we got?

Finneon is kind of a butterflyfish, in the sense that its fins are literally shaped like butterfly wings, but it's also kind of a tetra and kind of a betta fish all at the same time. I do like it from a graphic design standpoint—there's something pleasing about the solid black top with a pink stripe that runs down the length of the torso, complimented by spots on its tail fin, and then blue underneath.

However, it's not really much to look at from a conceptual standpoint. It's a pretty fish, but there's nothing really going on with it beyond that. This wouldn't be inherently a problem if it worked really well as a stepping stone for the evo to flesh out a theme from, but as we'll see in a moment there's not a ton going on there either.

Lumineon takes the small wing-like fins on Finneon's tail and fleshes them out so they're much bigger and more complex, which I like. Honestly, if more emphasis were placed on the wings, they could've been the theme in and of themselves—imagine it being water/bug, water/flying, or water/fairy.

Instead, Lumineon goes in a different direction by being a bioluminescent deep-sea fish that walks on the bottom of the ocean. That's a great premise, and I think it really could've worked well as a theme.

However, the issue is that nothing in the design conveys luminescence at all. It retains the blues and pinks from Finneon, which are still nice, but not nearly bright enough to get across a glowing effect. You do see this effect on occasion, like on its SV 'dex plate, but it really needed to be a permanent effect to get the point across.

Also, when I think bioluminescent fish with a strong emphasis on color and light, I'm thinking like, mostly black body with just a few select highlights of a very bright, almost neon color, to really make everything pop. Lumineon has a bit too much blue on it, with the proportions of the two colors being almost an even 50/50 split. Maybe if the body was black and there was a singular blue band going where the eye is or something. Like, there's nothing all that wrong with the design we got—it's just not terribly memorable in the long run.

We can see from the beta design that Lumineon was originally closer to what I suggested, mostly dark with a few pops of color. I do like the effect this has, especially with the nice scalloped shape to the wings that I think gets a bit lost with Lumineon's rough edges. The extra bit of pink in there are also a nice touch. And while I'm not big on the red, it is nice that the markings around the eye play off of Finneon's.

However, this design has an incredibly awkward body shape, with small wings and a shapeless tail. Plus it still feels like something is missing color-wise, like it needed a ring on its tail or something for one final pop of color. I feel like if we could get the final Lumineon's design but with the beta's colors, we'd have the ideal Pokemon.

Also, as a side note, this line could be a good pick for an evolution or mega form in the future. It's only two stages, and it definitely feels like there's room for expansion still.

Anyway, overall, these guys are decent but they don't manage to deliver on their themes as well as they could have, resulting in a couple of pretty but fairly underwhelming fish.

MCYT RELIGIOUS GUILT OFF R2 MATCH 6

THE RO'MEAVE BROTHERS (MINECRAFT DIARIES) VS INTHELITTLEWOOD (EVO/3RD LIFE)

The Ro'meave Brothers: "(Fucked up over) Irene! the in-universe goddess, who is also, coincidentally, also the past incarnation of (Garroth's) good friend who he has completely devoted his life to protecting and who mostly saved his life from utter ruin!”

InTheLittleWood: "he was literally chosen to do the watcher's dirty work with the promise of a better life for him and his fellow southlanders. and he fails his duty, and the watchers shame him for it. also he's very queer-coded and what is more queer-coded than religious trauma"

[which-is-the-very-best]

Hello hello everyone, and welcome to what is bound to be the most insane thing I've ever done thorough Poké poll this side of the non-fictional world!

We will be going through every, yes every, known Pokémon in these upcoming weeks!

We'll start with each evolution chain or similar grouping. Only Pokémon from a single generation will be grouped together. So if a Pokémon has evos in other gens they won't be added until their gen comes up, for example: the first round will only have Pikachu vs Raichu. Pichu will be a stand alone for the gen 2 round. Each chain will go through voting, to narrow down the numbers. Then brackets will be randomly generated until we get down to one single Pokémon per generation!

Then again the bracket for the final 10 (to make it even Legends Arceus will be its own generation!) will be randomly generated and the real fight begins!

Be sure to follow me (if you want 😄) and reblog the polls so we can get a good sample size going and make this fun!!

Each poll will be a week long. Feel free to ask questions (anon is on as long as everyone behaves!) and I'm happy to spread well meaning propaganda!!

Have fun!!!

Winners so far:

Gen 1: Bulbasaur!

Gen 2: Umbreon!

Gen 3: Spheal!

Gen 4: Luxray!

Gen 5: Zorua!

Gen 6: Sylveon!

Gen 7: Voting going on now!

tags: gen [#], thanks for the ask!!, not a poll, round [#], poll reblog (the round [#] will be excluded from reblogs, so when searching you won't get double polls!), other polls!!, propaganda

(Likes come from my main lilbit-of-kizzy)

Part of an article where Kazuyoshi Hoshino (former racecar driver for Nissan and founder of Impul) drives and rates some cars from the opposition. This section he is evaluating the Tommi Makinen EVO VI and the Subaru Impreza WRX STI version VI.

Section 2

"I wanted to ride it once!" First test drive

In the Heisei era's game description of the Lancer Evo VS Impreza battle

Japan's fastest man makes a decision!

Even though I lost my voice due to the intense power,

dissatisfied with handling.

The famous Heisei game, Lan Evo vs Impreza, is a standard showdown plan even for the best cars. After repeated wins and losses, the current models of both cars eventually became the current final models.

The models prepared this time are the GSR Evolution VI Tommy Makinen Edition for the Lan Evo and the WRX STi Version V Limited for the Impreza.

Hajime Hoshino will judge this showdown.

Righteousness. I have never driven either car before, so this will be my first drive. The actors are ready!

Kazuyoshi Hoshino said, "Well, I've always wanted to try these two cars," and let the two big monster 4WDs run to their heart's content. Let's reproduce the impression immediately after the test drive.

■ LANEVO

(I got out of the car and was at a loss for words for a while). This is amazing....... To put it bluntly, this power is not normal. This is no ordinary car. Power!

Too much! And the steering is weird. The power steering is too effective and there is no response, and I can't grasp the feeling at all. I hate it because the steering always has the same weight no matter what the situation. Feeling like an old American car.

PIC CAPTION

A thorough test drive on two cars that "I wanted to ride once"!

I can't grasp the feeling of grip. The engine is abnormal. If you tell me to praise you, I will praise you, but this is beyond praise. I wonder if they are boosting up. I can't believe it's the power of a commercial car.

The clutch also seems to be a racing specification (equipped with twin plates for the test vehicle), and the sound of the differential is also worrisome. If you wear a helmet and run hard on the circuit, you won't notice that, but if you're on a public road, you'll notice it.

Like a 4-wheel drive, there is a sense of security when turning the power on and off, and the front-to-rear balance is good, but the steering doesn't give you a good grip.

That's why I ran with suspicion. Whether the grip is still there or is gone, I was fumbling around and couldn't figure out the limit, but I just kept running like I had power!

It would be nice to say that the style is rough like running on a dirt road, but it doesn't feel urban. It's a bit too rugged for my taste.

■ Impreza

Suspension is Lan Evo

This one is more like a juggling horse

It's pretty mild.

I feel enough power.

It gets a little dull from 3500 to 4000 rpm, but there is a lot more than that and it turns around 8000 rpm.

Rather than waiting for a 9000 rpm engine like a Honda to reach the top, this engine

3000~7000 like

Use about 4000 rpm

It's easier on public roads. However, although the response is good and the sound when it revs up is also good, I don't really like the sound of misfiring at low and medium speeds.

I think the suspension should be a little stiffer on both bumps and rebounds so that the car doesn't roll over. The Lancer is harder and has better athletic performance.

The Impreza is a little too soft and becomes unstable when attacking hard. But I don't want to make it too hard, so if possible, it might be interesting to make the rebound side a little stronger. The driver's control center differential feels very different depending on how you adjust it. If you put it in the front (differential lock), the front torque will be stronger and the steering will feel more responsive. Conversely, the rearmost (differential free)

If you do it, the response of the handle will be Get out, under

Sorry but power over

be. You can change that beautifully just by adjusting the dial.

So if you're afraid of running out of power on a slippery road, you can bring it forward, and the weight of the steering wheel will change dramatically, but it's all free like FF or FR. You can. This is the first time. Interesting.

■ Judgment

If it's a time attack, the Lancer would be a few tenths faster. But the Impreza's control differential and horizontally-opposed engine are quite tasteful. Which one is better? Impreza is more interesting. In terms of speed, if the suspension could be made a little harder, I think it would be on par with the Lancer, but the Lancer's suspension is better.

The Impreza is my favorite conclusion.

PIC CAPTIONS

Hard suspension Lancer Evo and mild suspension Impreza. 4WD monster sports boasting unbeatable speed!

Although they have the same 2-liter turbo and 280 horsepower, they are the super units of Lancer Evo and Impreza, each with their own characteristics. Demonstrate power that surprises even the fastest man in Japan!

life game asks! 🌓🧨⚡️🌹❄️

🌓 opinions on the watcher lore?

yall KNOW im insane about this. Martyn's canon, the general fanon, everything from EVO... I am insane. I have my own Watcher Lore which is very very Sad also

🧨 favourite season and why?

This is so tricky. I think Third Life will always be special to me just because of how hard it went with the drama, and because of just how different the POVs are (e.g., the difference in how desert duo appears from their own pov vs everyone elses). However Limited Life was the first I watched live so it is my beloved, and Secret Life is maybe my favourite concept!

⚡️most cinematic death?

It has GOT to be Scar's final death in Third Life, hasn't it? Next to Ren's yellowlife beheading in Third Life. But there are so many outside of Third Life that it is really hard to pick. Jimmy falling (being pushed) in Limited Life?!

🌹if you could add one more player, who would it be?

God this is a good question. It has to be a hermit I think, just for the dynamics. It wouldn't work at all but if I could add Joe Hills... <3 Doc would be super fun too especially if Ren was there.

❄️ be honest, which character do you care about the least?

This is such a mean question you're so mean to me. Hm. I'm watching every POV for Secret Life so I suppose now is the best time to answer with a full range of viewership. I think I'm always least excited for Lizzie's POV? Though I really enjoy her videos still, I don't watch her stuff outside of the life series so I'm not super attached to her content. I still love her tho. This was such a mean question I literally love them all.

[anyoldfandom]

I think part of what makes Rex so fun to me as a character is the contrast of who he is vs what he should be. Bc everything in his life should lead up to him being this badass supersoldier but he's just a little guy.

And I don't mean he's not competent - god, he's competent. That's part of how he manages to gain so much trust, he sticks to his word and he helps as much as he can, even if it's going to cause him unnecessary pain.

But he's an amnesiac with superpowers raised in a military organization, trained by the sixth most dangerous man in the world, constantly being watched so he doesn't turn into a rampaging robot and kill everyone, constantly having to deal with world ending threat after world ending threat, amd yet...he's just a kid.

He sneaks out to get food. He hangs out with Noah and fails at basketball. He can't shut the fuck up even when everything seems hopeless. Time and time again, he shows empathy to other people, even those trying to hurt him. He'll crack jokes to hide his fear but at the end of the day, he'll initiate being open and talking about his feelings. He will throw himself into danger not just to protect strangers, but to protect human EVOs who he knows aren't to blame for their actions. And absolutely a big part of that is probably being an EVO himself, but another big part is just being raised right by Six and Holiday. Being shown so much love and kindness, and giving it back to the world. They can't give him a normal life, and they can't give him the freedom he wants (they all do still work for Providence, after all), but they can give him what they have, even while they're dealing with their own shit.

And I think that's so important to why he's who he is. He's a good kid in a shitty situation, but he never loses his heart. Even when he thought he lost everything in Endgame - his family potentially all dead, his own brother seemingly okay with just giving the Consortium all they wanted, without his powers even, he still fought. He never gives up - he didn't give up on Weaver until he had to be pulled away, despite how upset he got he cared still deeply about Circe and kept giving her chance after chance at the end of the day, begging her not to work for Van Kliess. The second he saw that Breach was suffering, he gave her empathy and tried to get her out of that situation. Hell, even when he was losing it with Hunter Cain's guys fucking hitting him with a bus entirely out of bigotry, after lying about him for so long and turning so many people against him, he took his anger out on the bus, not on people. He still tried to make amends, still was dedicated to helping them see that he was a hero.

Every time the world shows cruelty, he responds with kindness. Rex can't let himself give up on people, because he was raised by people who would never give up on him.

In the end, Genrex (and by extension, Rex himself) is about love. It's always been about love and empathy and kindness even in the face of pain and suffering. But, the nost important part is it's about family. Not just in who you choose to be family - the who doesn't matter, not in the end - but what family means. How family teaches you love.

Animal Conversions- Panthers and Apes

These, for the time being, are the last two animal conversions I'm publishing. I have bears and boars statted up, although they are close in abilities and CR to really be worth it, I think. I intend to tackle ocean life (dolphins, orcas, seals) soon, but that's for a later date.

I may have mentioned my love of cat monsters here before, and my panther's stat block here probably shows that bias. I've combined jaguars and leopards into one stat block, even if they aren't any more related than they are to other Panthera species, because they're large and solitary. My other reason for grouping panthers into one statblock was to give the DM an opportunity for some spec evo- maybe there are striped arboreal panthers in your world? Maybe black panthers are their own species? Go wild!

Chimps also got a massive boon. You may notice I gave chimps an intelligence of 3- personally, I think pathfinder's scale of "smart, stupid, literally mindless" is just not a very good way of defining animal intelligence. I'm giving particualy smart animals (pinnipeds, elephants, apes, parrots, corvids) an intelligence of 3 to represent this. Also chimps can maul you know. They're fuckin scary, yo.

“Panther” is a word that can refer to a number of medium-sized solitary cats, typically leopards and jaguars. They are all-terrain hunters, capable of climbing and swimming, and of all wild animals they are among the most common who turn maneater.

Chimpanzees are tropical animals that closely resemble humanoids and live in troops which have occasional violent infighting. Because of their appearance, many humanoids have attempted to tame or train chimps, but these situations rarely go well, and it’s best for everyone’s sake that they stay in the wild.

Drive by bit of trivia that I think fits into your Hunger AU - Evo!Grian (pre-Watcher) was neutral in the big dispute on the server, iirc (Mafia vs Property Police) but HC!Grian (post-Watcher) ends up getting a rep for starting wars. Also, don't know if you know about Demise in HC s6, but it was kind of a precursor to the Life SMP, so you could probably use that in your fic if you want? Maybe as Grian's first "oh hey suffering tastes good" moment or something? Only if you think it fits, though.

OHHHHHH I AM GAZING AT THIS TRIVIA!!! yeah ive never watched Evo so the extent of my knowledge is what i can find on the wiki and extrapolate from other people's posts on tumblr 😂😂😂😂 so im always happy to receive tidbits about it!!!

Also 👁️ oooooh ive heard about Demise a little bit but nothing more than the name and that i think it involved collecting heads or smth??? But i could totally see that being the seed planted for the future life games-- i imagine stuff like that would be almost like LARPing in a sense, due to Player death mostly being an inconvenience, but the fear and exhilaration of being hunted down would have been so tasty. It would make sense for that to stick in Grian's brain, and give him a lowkey guiding point when scrambling to make the life series!!!

#grian #watcher grian #evo watchers #hunger au #hermitcraft #shouting speaks #grian was with the watchers for several years before he escaped so he'd already been shown the ropes of feeding #so it wouldnt be his first time finding out suffering tastes good-- but gods demise would be SO cool as a subliminal realization for him #like. its in his brain now. and yes there was fear but it was still a *game* and they were having fun.... #but of course when youre on the brink of dying via starvation your first thought isnt going to be about fun #its gonna be about what you can wring out to survive #and thus the life games are born #smth smth idk this might only make sense to me #THANK U FOR DRIVEBY TIDBITS I APPRECIATE THEM VERY MUCH!!!!! #txt

with that limitation (3 pokemon per bro) i would give mario torracat, espeon, and shiny plusle and luigi manectric, umbreon, and shiny minun for the parallels (fire cat/electric dog, day evo vs night evo, and red/green coloring plus the plusle-minun thing) but i’m not a huge pokemon fan so my opinions should be taken with a grain of salt

i haven’t come up with their 6 pokemon comps but that’s what’s been rattling around in my head

Fun fact, Pokemon Ruby was the first Pokemon game I ever owned (before that, I would play at Crystal on my cousin's Gameboy Color) and I LOVE double battles (with only two pokemon back then haha)

Love these ideas you have ! I totally approve of the opposite themed pokemon, not to mention dark and electric type fit very well Luigi. Cats TOTALLY fit Mario (I keep saying he's the cat person to Luigi's dog person) and of course, Plusle and Minun are one of the most fitting duos for the Bros (good idea with the shiny colors!!)

My only objection would be about Manectric : but to be honest, I'm torn on which dog pokemon give him instead, because on one hand there's the electric theme with Yamper & Bolthund

But on the other hand, Luigi needs a ghost dog like Greavard or Houndstone (although maybe not the latter...)

Maybe there could be some inspiration from their various companions for the other Pokemon ?

Can you tell us your thoughts on the new scarvi mon if you haven’t already?

(Note: This is a special-edition review in honor of the recent reveals. Reviews after this will follow the usual earliest-first release.)

Fidough is a fun concept. We haven't really had any bread Pokemon before, so that's a unique niche for it to fill—even if, admittedly, I'm a little burnt-out on dog Pokemon due to their abundance.

It also seems to be based off of ensaïmada, a type of Spanish pastry. Assuming this was the intent, it makes for a nice little cultural reference that's still easy to understand for people who don't know what ensaïmadas are.

Also, that pun name is to die for.

Visually, I like the simple yellow and cream color scheme, the little "hair buns" that are literally buns as well as ears, and the little ruff around the neck. For a creature made of dough (or maybe it just looks like it's dough? it's not entirely clear yet), it feels fairly organic.

Evolution-wise, I agree with the consensus that it should become fully baked bread; it would be especially fun if it had to be given a fire stone or something to evolve, or to get hit with a fire-type move as a baking reference. Hopefully it would stick to some kind of Spanish baked good to fit the region, but I don't know enough about Spanish breads to offer any opinions.

Also, I like the bit of lore that it's been considered a valuable Pokemon because its breath contains yeast that can be used for cooking. It's a nice bit of worldbuilding.

Cetitan is definitely a stand-out for me. It's been a hot minute since we had a traditional "Pokemon-that-looks-like-an-animal-but-is-also-an-abstact-monster" kind of look, and a whale that has legs and walks around on land is perfect for that. The concept is probably based off of how whales are descended from land dwelling animals:

Though it's also possible it's a reference to the ningen, a modern-day Japanese yokai that's basically a white whale with arms and legs. Regardless, it's a very cool and very monster-y design.

Visually, I like how the pink adds some nice pops of color, and I adore this thing's mouth; three horns in a V shape, with an incredibly messed up mouth that isn't even immediately visible:

This is what defiantly makes the design for me. A land-whale Pokemon is already cool, but slap that mouth on it and it's an instant 8/10 for me.

I say 8 out of ten because there are some very minor things that bug me about the design, though they're mostly nitpicks. The random grey spots under the arms aren't needed, I would've rather seen one of the horns be pink instead of the flippers, and I don't get the pattern under the stomach. It just feels a bit over-detailed when it would look fine with just spots (as in, without all those little connecting lines everywhere), and I don't really get what it's trying to accomplish. Overall, however, this is a great design.

Side note: if I had to wager, Cetitan is either non-evolving, or likely has a pre-evo. And if it has a pre-evo... is it possible it would be the famed dolphin Pokemon everyone's been waiting on, seeing as they're both part of the Cetacea infraorder (and, you know, that's where the English name comes from)?

And Paldean Wooper is just ideal, as far as I'm concerned. It changes up as much as it can from the original design—front markings, colors, mouth size, and gills—while still remaining clearly recognizable. I wouldn't have minded a little something done with the tail, just because it's the only big element that remains the same (maybe just make it a pinch smaller or something minor like that), but otherwise it has a good balance of new vs old elements.

The big thing that makes the design however is the gills: this new Wooper is poison/ground instead of water/ground, so the gills have been changed to make the entire head a skull and crossbones. That is an absolutely brilliant design choice, and whoever came up with it deserves a raise. It also helps give the design a specific concept that keeps the changes from feeling too bland or arbitrary.

I am curious about the evolution. Is it going to become a regional Quagsire, or more get a new regional evolution? I do love Quagsire, but it might be more interesting to get a more axolotl-ish Pokemon, maybe taking elements from the Iberian ribbed newt that P. Wooper here seems to be based on, in all its rib-breaking glory.

So as a whole, all three of the designs are a very strong showing from Scarlet and Violet. Fidough has a fun concept, Cetitan is a great "monster" Pokemon, and P. Wooper has a brilliant design and is everything you could want from a regional. Here's hoping all of the new 'mons are this good.
