ICYMI--we HAD to break down this alleged Johto connection folks are claiming about Bubbly Basin and dissect why it's not a fair approach along with a closer look at what we CAN discern from the people of Cerulean's past! @researcher-ryan.bsky.social had some great thoughts! youtu.be/ePkJ0wgM39E

“Sora and Kairi’s voices blend together. Today, we’ll leave it to Sora.” There is… something so incredibly sad yet poetic that this reading of Kairi’s letter happened so close to Hayden Panettiere’s passing. Thinking of you wherever you are. Rest in peace.

Still new to Bluesky and keep forgetting to post here! I hit Credits this week. In #PokemonLegendsZA Nuanced take: There are graphical drawbacks and there should be voice acting. But to me that didn't pull me out of the experience and I find the story to be the most compelling tale Pokemon.
