Krakoa is a great arc and deserves to be called one of the all-time X storylines but that thing was always a time bomb. Like from the very start you can't read House/Powers and *not* see all the things that could go wrong and how Charles is in way over his head

I saw Crystal praise on the tl and am reminded that my own views on the Pokemon games are so disconnected from both the fanbase and the general public that if people saw my series ranking they'd have me publicly executed

I have issues with the trend of calling your top 4 whatever the "Mount Rushmore of [thing]" given everything terrible about Mount Rushmore. Instead I propose we follow the example set by anime and japanese games and call top 4s the Four Heavenly Kings of [thing]

Need to update the X liveplay since I've already beaten both it and Omega Ruby after. Problem is I'd rather be playing than talking about playing atm so here we are

Obi-Wan beating Grievous in episode 3 is fully consistent with how he is portrayed in 2D Clone Wars, in which the general is a decent duelist but mostly relies on ambush tactics to keep the advantage. Grievous probably would have lost to Shaak Ti in a 1v1

It's nice to see Venusaur and Charizard taking top cut at a major tournament, end of the day Drought and Chlorophyll make for good partners

Where on earth is the comp pokemon talk on this app, whenever I check the other site I see people posting actual calcs and vgc strats meanwhile the only poke stuff I ever see here is either boomer whining or goon nonsense Let me discuss and read about the actual battling please I beg

The Forgotten Battlefield is littered with the corpses of expeditions that have met their end against a single Nevron: Dualliste. Between its massive size, equally massive twin blades, and surprising tactical knowledge for its species it has perhaps the highest kill count of any known Nevron

Psychic X is the one exception to my self-imposed "no pop cultural references" rule for character/mon naming because sometimes things just fit too well

When the Digital Circus pilot first came out my takeaway was that it needed to be either funnier or scarier to live up to its premise. Suffice to say that by now it's succeeded at both

Mega Evolution was immediately interesting in multiplayer as a sort of castle unit to build a team around and part of why I like comp in gen 6 so much more than in gen 5. It's even better in ZA which turns it into a Devil Trigger of all things. Shame XY maingame does so little to show it off

Eli@Circhester @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
Lysandre as L is for what it's worth handled quite well in ZA, which improves or recontextualizes most elements of XY's undercooked storytelling for the better. Goes to show there's no such thing as an unsalvageable character or story, only ones that warrant a second chance

I am super training everyone because that's an interesting/customizable way to power up your team but exp share and pokemon Amie get out of control way too quickly and will be ignored

One Piece live action continues to be the exact opposite of a surf dracula in that if there's a contextually appropriate opportunity to pull from something way later then the material they're currently covering they're taking that chance now rather than waiting, and they're right to do it

Sonic Forces is neither the worst nor the second-worst 3D Sonic game released in the 2010s, and Eggman needs more recurring henchman characters anyway. Infinite returning for an audio drama is inoffensive at worst and at best a welcome opportunity

Eli@Circhester @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
The sheer size of the pokedexes from here on out, on top of helping replayability in general (I played X and Y twice each shortly after they came out) means the mono options from here on out are bountiful. Part of why I chose Psychic here in particular is you can even run a Grass/Fire/Water core

Onto mono-Psychic X

Eli@Circhester @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
Mono-Bug Black 2 is right with mono-Grass Emerald as one of the toughest runs yet, you got some strong teammates but the deck is so stacked against you that you gotta make the most of every tool you have.

Eli@Circhester @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
Toxic Orb being obtainable in maingame outside of battle facilities + Poison not dealing damage outside of battle starting in gen 5 makes Guts strats absolutely diabolical here

Eli@Circhester @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
It says a lot about how much bigger games Black and White 2 are compared to the originals that Drayden has higher levels that he used to despite being an earlier gym. Even in easy mode!

Eli@Circhester @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
My experience with mono-Bug Black 2 so far is that bosses have been little trouble but all the Rock and Flying types you run into in the wild are a nightmare. Boldore is basically a flee-on-sight

I just want Pokemon red/blue and gold/silver on nso with compatibility with the stadium games. That's all I ask. I don't even need anything to connect to home I just want to play stadium with Pokemon that aren't the terrible fucking rentals

Love these videos as a sort of year-in-review, and as someone who didn't play every major release this year each time one of the few I did play is brought up for a category (usually Silent Hill f) I'm immediately like

Someone who turned 10 in 1990 would have seen Final Fantasy 4-8 come out in middle and high school, and 9-10 in college. Someone who turned 10 in 2015 gets 15 in elementary school and 16 in college which don't even resemble each other so even if they liked 15 it doesn't mean they'll care about 16

I have Opinions(tm) on Dragon Quest's music even before going into who was behind it, but 2 always had one of the series's stronger soundtracks and the hd remake's reorchestrations bring it to life beautifully

Yakuza Like a Dragon is basically a perfect conclusion to what the series had been up to that point, with Lost Judgment as a sort of epilogue that also shows the series' gameplay and systems at their height. Everything after this can be ignored, play up to that point then drop it
