Hard same. I just want the bounty of goodies that come with this particular guy. Birb himself is up for grabs afterwards.

I might not get the DLC (yet) so I do hope they run Torterra as a raid.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

I'm over here like god drat my birthday's nearly 6 months away and I gotta wait til THEN to get a Pokemon with the Destiny(?) mark? Just to have, for absolutely no reason, yet some idiot neuron in my brain keeps pulsing "need this" at me.

Historical note, this cover is going viral on the brand new NicoNico is what started getting Miku attention. (What solidified the movement as an actual music scene and not just a meme was Melt, but that’s another story.)

As a result, Miku became associated with leeks, and the other Crypton Vocaloids also became associated with various foods.

She's Hatsune Miku = 初音ミク = 初音未来 = "the first sound from the future".

(Miku is a personal name that's spelled the same as 未来/mirai aka future.)

That's my guess for the reason anyway.

The first four producers have been announced. Songs will be uploaded weekly on Fridays at 7pm Japan time. First four are DECO*27, inabakumori, Mitchie M, and PinocchioP. All are very famous producers, though this will be my first time hearing inabakumori use Miku, because he normally uses Kaai Yuki. He’s used Miku in the past though so it’s not the first time.

DECO*27 specializes in JPop with occasional JRock, inabakumori specializes in JRock with a quiet vocal, Mitchie M specializes in EDM with extremely realistic tuning, and PinocchioP specializes in JPop with very unique lyrics.

PinocchioP is my favorite currently active Vocaloid producer so that’s the song I’m most curious about.

That dumb neuron is what makes me breed everything myself.

If it doesn't have my OT on it, it's gone.

I may use it to breed first though.

My brain is dumb. I love my buddies.

Sabrina kicked my rear end a few times on my Radical Red Poison monotype run, especially when she pulled a Flame Orb Guts Ursaluna and Mega Gardevoir out of her hat along with a Trick Room setup. Luckily I figured out that Revavroom learned a 120 bp Steel move that I could use to 1-shot Gardevoir. Ursaluna though... That thing savaged 5 out of my 6 team members lol, ty Toxapex for holding the line.

Hidden abilities are abilities that tend to be stronger, but are harder to get access to, as you can't find those normally in the wild. There's a specific method in each generation to get a Pokemon with a hidden ability.

Pokemon have 3 ability slots. 1, 2, and hidden. Pokemon that only have 1 ability actually have the ability in all 3 slots from a technical standpoint. And whichever ability the Pokemon has when you catch it is random. Usually between 1 and 2 in the wild, with hidden being thrown in as a possibility in tera raids.

This only really matters if they change abilities or add abilities in future generations, which does happen. So in gen 10 or whatever, Ability 2 or the hidden ability can end up becoming something new.
