First place goes to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. They get to have the top spot, but they have to share it. Second place goes to Spirit Tracks, which is criminally underrated. Third place goes to A Link Between Worlds, which I completed 100% within a week of getting it.

What one card would you add to Magic: the Gathering if you had the chance? The important thing with mine is the rules text, as I truly believe Red should be able to temporarily evade enchantments, breaking the rules without getting rid of them. The Yu-Gi-Oh theming is just for fun.

A red Magic the Gathering card named "Screw the Rules, I Have Red Mana!", an instant that costs 1R and reads "Exile target non-Aura enchantment an opponent controls. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step." Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh is depicted in the art of the card, and the flavour text is a quote from him, "I don't believe in destiny. I create my own future!"

While many Pokémon cycled through my team in #PokemonLegendsZA, in the end I settled on these six, with my main criteria being that they had to have a new Mega Evolution. Ampharos was the exception, as they are my favourite Pokémon of all time. (I can’t believe the game just gives you a shiny one!)

A street in Lumiose from Pokémon Legends Z-A with six Pokémon milling around: Chandelure the living chandelier, Excadrill the armoured mole, Meganium the flowering sauropod, Malamar the hovering squid, Hawlucha the avian luchador, and shiny Ampharos the… honestly, I have no idea what Ampharos is supposed to be.

I sometimes prepare a bowl of Beefaroni alongside a box of Kraft Dinner, and then dump the prepared KD on top of the Beefaroni. They don’t get mixed, mind you, I like the varied bites by digging through the layers with my spoon. I affectionately but also derogatorily call this combo “slop.”

My friends and I were discussing #TransDayofVisibility, and it came up that the soft colours of the trans flag perhaps trend a bit feminine, maybe not representing trans men well enough. So we started brainstorming how to make the trans flag more inclusive of trans men and I found this one amusing.

The trans flag (five horizontal stripes of sky blue, pastel pink, white, pastel pink, and sky blue) emblazoned with the image of Trogdor the Burninator (a green dragon composed of an S and a more different S, with a single beefy arm and wings, breathing fire).

I'd heard that at some point during The Indigo Disk, I would have to use a Terarium-only team. So I decided to use that as an excuse to assemble a team for the DLC, with a type that's hard to start a game with: Dragon, with Haxorus, Flygon, Kingdra, Altaria, Archaludon, and Alolan Exeggutor!

The female protagonist of Pokémon Violet standing on top of a steppe in the Coastal Biome of the Blueberry Academy Terarium, with the split Canyon/Polar Biome peak in the distance behind her. She is wearing the Blueberry Academy summer uniform of a blue short-sleeved shirt. red neckerchief, and white shorts, though she's still wearing her orange sunglasses from Paldea. Her team of Dragon Pokémon surround her: Alolan Exeggutor, Haxorus, Flygon, Kingdra, Archaludon, and Altaria.

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 25/03/2024

Going Bug in Shield freed up Fire for Pokémon Violet, instead of Dark forcing me to pick Sprigatito again. So this was the rowdy crew that got me through the Elite Four and beyond: Skeledirge, Coalossal, Blaze Breed Tauros, Volcarona, Solarona (Paradox names are terrible) and Hearthflame Ogerpon.

The female protagonist of Pokémon Violet standing in the middle of a grassy field outside Levincia, wearing the alternate summer uniform of a scarlet shirt and purple shorts along with a hat, glasses, and shoes all coloured in orange and black. She is surrounded by six Pokémon; from left to right, they are Iron Moth (which she has named Solarona), Skeledirge, Volcarona, Blaze Breed Tauros, Ogerpon in her Hearthflame cloak but unmasked, and Coalossal.

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 16/03/2024

I had saved Fire for Pokémon Shield, since all the starters gain no secondary types, but a talk with a friend convinced me to do Bug for this game instead. So Blipbug became my “starter,” eventually evolving into Orbeetle and joined by Golisopod, Centiskorch, Galvantula, Shedinja, and Frosmoth.

The post-game title screen of Pokémon Shield. The female protagonist stands in the middle of the Wyndon Stadium pitch in her challenger’s kit and glasses, with the giant stadium screen behind her. Galvantula stands behind her to the left, while Orbeetle hovers behind her to the right.

The League Card of the female protagonist in Pokémon Shield. She wears a black track jacket and ball cap, both trimmed with the yellow-green of the Bug type, along with green eyeglasses and a tan shirt. She stands with two fingers in a horizontal peace sign in front of her right eye and a confident smile. The text on the card gives her name, Saryn, and her league number, 826. (826 is the National Dex number of her “starter” Pokémon’s final evolution, Orbeetle.)

I always avoided Pokémon Ultra Sun because I love Lusamine's villainy in the originals and didn't want to see it diluted. But I heard there was a lot of good added content, so I went through with a Fairy team: Primarina, Ribombee, Whimsicott, Alolan Ninetales, Mawile, and returning champ Mimikyu.

The female protagonist of Pokémon Ultra Sun in a pink Alolan shirt and shorts standing to the left, with Primarina to the right, the two on either side of the Alolan Pokémon League's entrance in the background. The two are looking at each other with the text visible "...Pokémon you ever chose in your adventure... you are reminded of how far you have come."

The first "Congratulations! You are Alola's first-ever Champion!" screen from Pokémon Ultra Sun; the text has a rainbow sheen and is overlaid on a starry sky with several especially bright stars in different colours standing out.

The "Congratulations! You are Alola's first-ever Champion!" screen from Pokémon Ultra Sun. The female trainer stands to the right in a pink Alolan shirt, white shorts and pink-striped sneakers. A massive Mimikyu looms in the background to the left in front of a starry sky.

The "Congratulations! You are Alola's first-ever Champion!" screen from Pokémon Moon. The female trainer stands to the right in a pink Alolan shirt, white shorts and pink-striped sneakers. Primarina lounges in the background to the left in front of a starry sky, with the Island Challenge Completion stamp superimposed over top of him.

Brilliant Diamond may have said Steel loudly, but Pokémon Moon SCREAMS Ghost. A starter (Decidueye), one of the first regional variants (Alolan Marowak), a commentary on the series mascot (Mimikyu), the cover legendary (Lunala, er, I mean, Nebby), and Palossand. (And Drifblim to replace Oricorio.)

So I started making this last night, fully anticipating a stream on Pokémon Day but not realizing that the Pokémon Presents stream got announced the moment I finished my first draft of it. I present to all two of my followers... VOLTORB BINGO.

A five-by-five grid similar to the one in the Voltorb Flip minigame from Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, labelled as VOLTORB BINGO. The spaces are marked:

1st Row: Unova Remakes - Pokémon Sleep - New Mobile Game - New Paradox Pokémon - Let's Go Johto
2nd Row: Move SV (Scarlet/Violet) DLC - Pokémon Unite - Pokémon Ranger Returns - Pokémon on NSO (Nintendo Switch Online) - PokéPark 3
3rd Row: Mystery Dungeon - Digital Card Game - Free Space (marked with a Voltorb) - Gen Ten - Pokémon Go
4th Row: Pokémon Snap - Legends Johto - New Periphiral - Pokémon Masters EX - Crossover Game
5th Row: New Pokémon Movie - Pokémon Café Remix - Next Console Mention - New Pokkén - Legends Unova

For Pokémon Y, I went with Psychic, with the twins Gallade and Gardevoir here joining Delphox, Malamar, Sigilyph, and Starmie in helping me take down Team Flare… and then so much more after. Seriously, after the Unova games and Uranium, I had forgotten how early the plot can end in these games.

The "Congratulations on becoming Pokémon League Champion!" screen from Pokémon Y. The female protagonist stands in the centre in a halter top, short shorts, and a stylish hat, all in shades of blue, in front of a golden background with Gallade behind her to the left and Gardevoir behind her to the right.

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 12/02/2024

SWERVE! I didn't want to play too many games on my 3DS in a row, so I decided to throw my first playthrough of Pokémon Uranium into the mix. Plus this let me have a team of my favourite type, Electric, headed by my favourite Pokémon, Ampharos (who I found a shiny of!)

The “League Champions! Congratulations!” screen from Pokémon Uranium, which is the same as the screen from the Gen 5 games. The female protagonist is shown alongside... nobody, the Pokémon never show up on this screen. At the bottom, the screen lists her name (Saryn), her ID (48316) and her clear time (39:20).

The "Hall of Fame" screen from Pokémon Uranium, featuring (clockwise, starting from the top) Theriamp, Gellin, Jerbolta (in its nuclear variant), Yatagaryu, Ampharos (in its Tandor shiny colouration of purplish grey), and Electruxo.

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 04/02/2024

Luckily, Pokémon Black 2 lets you reach the Hall of Fame in your first trip to the Elite Four, so while I’ll definitely partake in some of the postgame content, I can post Emboar here right now, representing his Fighting team of Lucario, Breloom, Scrafty, Heracross, and Terrakion.

The “League Champions! Congratulations!” screen from Pokémon Black 2. The female protagonist is shown alongside Emboar. At the bottom, the screen lists her name (Saryn), her ID (56324) and her clear time (a clearly mistaken 92:09).

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 28/01/2024

And now the Champion screen only shows ONE Pokémon, so you can’t see Serperior’s grassy teammates Leavanny, Sawsbuck, Amoonguss, Ferrothorn, and Virizion. But more annoying is that clear time, because Pokémon White only gives you a Champion screen on the rematch!

The “League Champions! Congratulations!” screen from Pokémon White. The female protagonist is shown alongside Serperior. At the bottom, the screen lists her name (Saryn), her ID (20857) and her clear time (a whopping 71:29).

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 23/01/2024

So the obvious type for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond is Steel, with a starter, a legendary, and a breakout that got into Smash all sharing the type. But… there’s not much else beyond that. So I got some help from the past (as well as a mythical I forgot I’d get).

The “League Champion! Congratulations!” screen from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond. The female protagonist stands in the middle of the screen, with her Pokémon team lined up behind her (from left to right): Magnezone, Empoleon, Dialga, Jirachi, Lucario, and Scizor. At the bottom, it shows the trainer’s name (Saryn), her ID (384544), and her clear time (24:02).

So in playing through all the Pokémon games, I always wonder how much of the postgame I should play through. I didn’t grind to fight Red in Soul Silver, but I did do Omega Ruby’s Delta Episode. Anyway, here’s my photo session with God.

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 13/01/2024

Fine, if there’s no champion screen, I’ll make my own. I chose my type for Pokemon Legends: Arceus last, so all the starter types were already used. So I chose Normal, with three Hisuian standouts in Wyrdeer, Ursaluna, and Zoroark, plus a couple Sinnoh faves and good ol’ Snorlax.

The female protagonist of Pokémon Legends: Arceus standing on Prelude Beach in front of six Pokémon (from left to right): Ursaluna, Staraptor (barely visible behind the bear), Hisuian Zoroark, Wyrdeer, Bibarel, and a sleeping Snorlax.

Omega Ruby's Champion screen doesn't ever display all your Pokémon at once, so only Swampert and Flygon are here to represent my Ground-type team. Rhydon, Groudon, Claydol, and Camerupt are all behind the camera.

Forget The Indigo Disk, the real hotness is a 14-year-old remake of a 24-year-old Pokémon game. So yeah, here’s my underlevelled Water team; I also didn’t buy enough items, so it took me a few tries to beat Lance. But now I can put this game behind me and WHAT THERE’S MORE!?

The “League Champion: Congratulations!” screen from Pokémon Soul Silver. The female trainer is in the centre, with Poliwrath, Shiny Gyarados, and Lanturn to the left and Quagsire, Feraligatr, and Slowbro to the right. The bottom lists the trainer’s name as Saryn, with a clear time of 28:10.

Krizak @krizak.bsky.social · 01/12/2023

So I decided to play through the whole Pokémon series again, this time with a different type focus for each game. Gen 1 had a ludicrous amount of Poison types, so here's my Poison team (plus Eevee, since it is Let's Go Eevee).
