MINIOR PLEASE YOU CAN DO THIS

Been thinking about Kirby a lot lately. My first Kirby game was Super Star Ultra and it's still one of my favorites, so of course I'm thinking about all the games within it and which ones are more popular.

Pokemon Black: Eggcellent Edition

Doing an Egglocke in a Black romhack with some pals. We made ourselves the Gym Leaders and Elite Four, so I’m making my player character an OC instead of just myself this time.

Her name’s Luella. Originally from Vermilion City, her family recently moved to Nuvema Town and she decided she wanted to explore this new region on her own. Has way too much energy, absolutely will get lost while exploring Unova. Big fan of Yancy. Her family also has a pet Sandshrew at home. I’ll add more lore when it isn’t 1:30 AM and progress has been made in the playthrough.

Part of me wants to make a list of all my ships in case anyone wants to know and/or tell me how wrong I am, but there are two problems.

1. It would be a very long list.

2. For some reason, ship names for Pokemon are never anything simple. Most of them are either one or two words that may or may not be related to the characters and the -shipping suffix (for those unaware I would like to inform you all that TrainwreckShipping is a very real ship name). Sometimes I also see ship names like hibihika and hanamusa which I think are based on the Japanese names of the characters but I’m not sure. I’ve tried searching for lists so I know what the ship names are but not only are they long and hard to search through, but about half the ships on some of those lists just make me go “now that’s enough internet for today” to put it nicely.

Thinking about Xenoblade as usual. Gonna put up a spoiler warning for 2 just in case.

We never see the left leg or arm of the Bionis in Xenoblade 1. The right leg has Colony 9 and Gaur Plain, and the right arm is Valak Mountain, but we just never see what's on the left limbs. I wanna see what's over there.

The Siren model kit of all things mentions that there's two other towers besides Rhadamanthus/the World Tree, Aeacus and Minos. It's possible that there's life around those two as well. Who knows what's out there.

just found out that charamells vanished from the internet months ago and i just took way too long to notice, they were one of my favorite artists too

Okay so I beat the story of Indigo Disk last night and I'm still processing all that. There will be some discussion of leaks along with story spoilers here.

Before getting into story stuff, I completed the Paldea and Kitakami dexs just before Indigo Disk released and the shiny charm is great. Found two shinies in the Terrarium already, Peaches the Slakoth and MArty the Axew.

Really liked the first part of the story, where you fight the BB Elite Four and learn more about what's been going on with Kieran since the end of Teal Mask. Fights were pretty tough, my team was level 100 but they aren't built for competitive battles seen here.

Did not expect Lacey to be related to Clay of all people, apparently it's confirmed that Drayton is related to Drayden but I must've missed that dialogue. No signs of Crispin or Amarys being related to old Unova characters, Crispin seems like he'd be related to Chili but there's nothing for Amarys.

I was waiting for that weird peach thing from that one Teal Mask cutscene to show up but it just never did? Apparently it's a mythical and we just don't have the event yet (seems like dataminers/hackers were able to trigger the event and have this little peach loser show up in game).

Second part of the story has the gang head down into a new part of Area Zero below the lab. Kieran using a Master Ball to catch Terapagos that broke when he Terastillized it was cool, and it was nice seeing Kieran go back to his old self. Terapagos itself isn't that interesting though. Somehow Briar didn't end up being evil, same goes for Geeta. Saw Geeta show up to discuss the Area Zero trip and expected her and Briar to have some sort of evil plan together but it didn't happen, both of them are CLEARLY hiding stuff from us though.

After completing the story, you can talk to Briar and she'll give you a book she wrote about your trip to Area Zero. If you go to the Crystal Pool in Kitakami with that book, you trigger an event where you meet Sada/Turo. Not the AI, it's the original professor themselves. There's some time travel shenanigans going on, this version of the professor hasn't made the time machine or their AI copy yet. They do mention Arven though. You give them Briar's book and they give you their copy of the Scarlet/Violet book and the event ends. Paradox just happened, also if you talk to Arven with this book he just assumes you have the library's copy.

Anyway uh Kieran is the best Pokemon rival no contest.

question time

note* I will not reveal which side I am on until the poll is over to avoid bias
