Random Fact of the Day
Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Eevee!
Did you know that Gigantamax energy upped the fluffiness of the fur around Eevee’s neck? Because this Pokémon has gotten even friendlier and more innocent, Eevee will try to play with anyone around, only to end up crushing them with its immense body. Their fur will envelop a foe, capturing its body and captivating its mind!

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.
yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.
it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.
how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.
chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?
how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.
"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.
i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

We got an interview from the artists of the second opening recently on the official PR account for the anime (translation by Dephender can be found on this link!), and I found this bit really interesting:
Q2: Which parts of the lyrics are especially meaningful?
yama: One of the first parts of the lyrics I wrote has a bit that talks about "the truth of the world". I think everyone has something they pursue, and the Pokémon anime likewise has both kids that have a goal or a dream they embrace, as well as kids that haven't found a dream yet. That's why I wanted to include words like "found" or that talk about pursuing something together.
The italicized bits in the quote above being the part in the video interview during which Amethio is shown! Friede is pictured in the first part of the sentence, and then Amethio is immediately shown when yama-san is talking about how "there are kids that haven't found a dream yet."
So yeah, it was already quite clear before but Amethio doesn't have a dream and what he's been doing from the beginning isn't something he is doing for himself. While his current "objective" is similar to Roy's dream (they both want to reach Rayquaza as of now), the stark difference here is that Roy's dream is his own, it's something he wants for himself, while Amethio is acting for someone else's sake and isn't chasing his own wish.
I also like the juxtaposition of Friede and Amethio shown one after another, too. I feel like this says so much about their rivalry, they stand more or less as equals on the battlefield (which raises its own set of questions but that's for another day) but their dynamics highlights Amethio's emotional immaturity in some ways. Friede is older and has something he pursues and a goal for himself, and Amethio is younger and doesn't have something like that. Friede went through a time he felt stuck and aimless but he managed to turn his life around, so I wonder if that's something Amethio will learn too (through Friede or other circumstances).
Anyway, given how it's stated that some characters don't have a dream yet, I wonder if they will depict Amethio eventually finding one. The series is about "finding" something important through adventure, after all.

“He’s a train conductor! Not a helicopter pilot!”
Transcription of terrible handwriting:
Ingo: Emmet! Are you alright?! Say something!!
Emmet, dazed with arrow pointing at him labeled ‘bonked’: The root etymology of ‘helicopter’ is not ‘heli’+’copter’ but ‘helico’+‘pter’
Ingo: Oh no! He’s spouting aviation facts!!
Emmet, offscreen: Get in zah choppah~

Random Fact of the Day
Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Farigiraf!
Did you know that Farigiraf’s psychic power is 10 times stronger than that of Girafarig? This Pokémon’s two brains are connected through thick nerves, allowing it to increase its psychic energy and unleash psychic waves through its antennae. Although Farigiraf is always observing its surroundings and its brains can instantly detect danger, its body sometimes cannot react as quickly!

yes, I think palworld could get into some legal trouble because a lot of its designs are blatantly using/copying pokemon's assets (doubly so since they're selling it). hiring artists/designers is Not Hard and "satire" is not an excuse to rip off shit. also imo it's just a cheap looking game that looks to be using a lot of pre-existing assets to begin with
but also, yes, I think it would be extremely funny if it got better review scores/reception than scarvi AND I believe pokeco CEOs should be made to sweat a little bc their cash cow franchise is easily replicated and all it'll take is One Good Competitor to threaten their spot at the top

#336. In official artwork for Generation I, as well as in Pokémon Pinball, the Great Ball has the letter “S” on the front centre of its top due to its Japanese name being “Super Ball” (スーパーボール). (X)(X)
