Finally got around to beating Cynthia today! The absolute MVP of my League challenge was Beautifly, who swept Bertha, Lucian and most of Cynthia while very underleveled by setting up with Quiver Dance against a special attacker. The lesson here is butterfly Pokémon are superior.
The “League Champion! Congratulations!” screen in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond. The trainer name is Dawn, and her team Beautifly, Floatzel, Crobat, Pachirisu, Torterra and Machamp.

Caterpie managed to climb up to where I put the Switch 2 Pro controller, take it, wake the console, and then start a new game of Brilliant Diamond on Shadey’s profile. So far she has managed to name herself 1 and pick the darkest-skinned Lucas. Still trying to name Barry. #Babyplayspokemon

A distracted boyfriend meme. The girlfriend, "Pokopia", looks on with disdain as the boyfriend, "Me", is instead checking out "Everyone's least favorite mainline game".

Really is kind of nuts that BDSP did not change Dialga/Palkia's catch rate back to 30 *and also* they have the Sw/Sh difficulty modifier mechanic pre-eight badges. I'm on Dialga now with nothing better than Ultra Balls, and asleep at 1 HP it'd be 2.119% per ball.

Caught a shiny Geodude earlier and now a shiny Sneasel? I think this is the third time in a Pokémon game I suddenly find two shinies within a short interval. What's up with that.

Perhaps a long shot, but would anyone with BDSP be up for helping me do some quick back-and-forth trades for trade evolutions? I've got Kadabra/Machoke/Graveler/Haunter.

Apparently, in Gen VIII specifically, Tentacruel cannot learn the Toxic TM. It can learn it both before and after, so I'm assuming this is just a mistake in the compatibility list? Very annoying. (Tentacruel learns Hex naturally... but has no way to reliably inflict a status it could benefit from!)

It’s so awkward in 3D to be in the Great Marsh and watch the Pokémon just stand there never doing *any* animation apart from the idle pose.

I’m playing Brilliant Diamond (never actually finished a playthrough when it came out because I had too much stuff on my hands) and there’s got to be something up with encounters while biking, right? I keep running into a new encounter when I *haven’t even moved* since the previous encounter.

Something that bugs me about the new experience mechanics is that now any Pokémon fainting *lowers the total amount of experience your team gets for every subsequent Pokémon you fight*. A Pokémon that fights and faints is now the only one that *doesn’t* get experience.

If you want a reason to take everything an LLM tells you with an enormous grain of salt, look no further than the part where they persistently appear to think that random Pokémon generator websites are an essential tool for playing Nuzlocke challenges.

A gift for my friend @antialiasis.dragonflycave.com, of her Fakemon Letaligon! [ #crochet #amigurumi #pokemon #pokemonfanart #fakemon #commsopen ]
A crocheted Letaligon, a Fakemon. It is a white quadruped with a grey metal plate on its back, a grey metal tail, and three black claws on each foot. It has a long neck but a short muzzle, and its face is covered by a grey metal mask of three long blades, one pointing upwards and two pointing to either side and back. Its eyes are red and framed by two smaller spikes pointing upwards from the long horizontal blades. Subsequent photos show the same Letaligon crochet from different angles.

The closure of Pokémon Bank was inevitable but it does suck, especially for people who were actively using it to this day to transfer Pokémon. It might be a signal they're going to publish more Switch ports on Pokémon Day, but that obviously doesn't help people playing on original carts.

I did a new Yellow playthrough from scratch for my Mew trick article’s screenshots/additional research and I just love this game so much. Modern QoL is nice and all but genuinely, the originals are so worth playing. There’s a reason they rewrote all our brains.

One of the most grating things about the LLMese “not X, but Y” construction is that it’s a perfectly sensible rhetorical device for humans to use when X is being assumed, but LLMs will half the time just make up an X that no human being would ever assume here.

Pokopia is definitely a cute game, but as far as I'm concerned the inventory management aspect is genuinely ruinous to the experience. My bag is always full of the one million types of items. There is constant FOMO about what if I put something in a box and then I need it later (keeps happening).
