So what you're saying is adopt Uranium's brooding dark colors and garishly bright greens?



Just like I'm reading it off a Pip Boy in the Nuclear hellscape that is Anthell.

Yeah. Kanto/Johto were the Tokyo environs (more or less), Hoenn was the southern islands, and Sinnoh was Hokkaido.

For spinoff games, Orre is supposed to be Arizona/Nevada, somewhere in the Death Valley area at least, Almia (the region from the Ranger game where Uranium's Moody Dad comes from) is the southern tip of SinnohHokkaido, the other two Ranger regions are just Generic JRPG Land.


Jynx went from blackface to "purpleface", so there's still some :raise: to be ironed out.

Well, frostbiteface, since she's a Yuki-Onna who have black faces because that's what happens to you when you die of extreme cold, but they've learned to double check if their designs could come off as offensive in the aftermath.

I think Katarani is saying something like "purpleface is just 'trying not to be blackface'" and that the problem still needs to be actually fixed and not just Band-Aided.

I think seeing it as "purpleface" or "blackface" is assuming it's meant to be a black person in the first place, instead of a japanese cultural/ mythological grab bag, like a lot of the designs wind up being.

Its evolution method is really neat too. Its second stage has two forms depending on whether it evolves holding a burn heal or an ice heal. The former learns Ice moves, the latter learns Fire moves. You evolve it again by leveling it up while it's holding the opposite of its previous evolution item, at which point it becomes a hulking alchemical monstrosity. :black101:

That last one is actually adorable again. Like it's suddenly realized how huge it is and is only thinking that now it can reach things on the top shelf!

Turns out all TMs are made by a prison chaplain in Florida.

Wow, I'm surprised no one commented on this Stone Ocean reference yet.

Now I'm imagining all the JoJos as Pokemon trainers.

This is fantastic! Shine on, you not-crash diamond!

Why imagine when it's a reality?


No no. I said Jojos as Pokemon trainers. This is clearly Pokemon as JoJos.


Nuclear Eevee is okay but not spectacular design wise and an utter poo poo kicker mechanically.
Titanice needs to be steel type.

Predictions for next gym... a completely out of left field communist gym leader lectures you on the ills of social stratification and the plight of the working man in his steel mill gym. He is not a steel gym leader, he only uses red pokemon.
Nobody talks about him ever again.
