is this show cool. I saw a couple episodes on Tech TV a million years ago and remember being mystified that the OP was all spaced out and then the episode I saw was grounded, contemporary stuff

Gen 3 is in a weird place for me. I love it but then I play one and it's simply okay but then after a while of not playing it I go back to loving it. There are a bunch of Gen 3 mons I don't care much for but then Gardevoir, Flygon and Absol are among my all time faves. Gardevoir shares my 2nd place spot with Glaceon, right behind Arcanine.

gen 3 is a gen I completely skipped despite owning a GBA and being obsessed with RBY and GSC. don't know why I did that. might have been too busy playing Golden Sun

Gen 5 is my favorite, no old Pokémon until the endgame was a great decision and it’s a shame they were bullied into never doing that again by people that wanted to catch Weedle again for the fifth time

LMAO at Jim Ryan whining that they "only" offered to keep CoD on PS for 3 more years than their existing deal.

Point is that losing COD wholesale could be devastating for the platform. Ryan doesn't have a say in the matter per se, but it's the kind of issue the FTC will be looking at when deciding whether to approve the merger.

i liked gens 5, 6, and 7 quite a bit. 8 looked like hot garbage so i avoided that. 9 has a much better appeal so far so I might end up picking it up. Violet definitely has the cooler looking exclusive mons so far too.

I had an NES as a child. I could walk through the first two levels of the TMNT game without losing a turtle and more than a bar and a half of life on whoever I made do the dam level. I could beat Manhattan Project.

I just got the Cowabunga Collection. Child me is very disappointed in himself.

I beat Zelda II as a 6-7 year old.

Just an absolute kick in the dick all these years later.

i'd guess a combination of typing considerations and then extrapolation from ideas related to those types, like steel lending itself to mecha and knights and fire lending itself to, well, y'know

a lot of imaginative art comes from mixing together a handful of disparate ideas, and the typing system makes it easy to come up with a concept list that you can smash together in varying configurations until you get a design that clicks
