#buizel squad

[clouds-atdawn]

The buizel squad feels so sigma! (i spent 3 hours on call with them yesterday)

[sparkykitsune]

Buizel Auster, Torracat Kiefer and Vulpix Maribel

Here’s also a one with a white outline as suggested from my bud @navi-squad for better contrast

[forthedancingandthethriving]

Teen Squad as things I've heard and my friends and I have said

Ash: What if I lick the candle?

Shantae: Do not lick the candle that's on fire!

----

Laharl: What's the marrow bone again?

----

Desmond: I need my Zs..

Tulip: You need your za za?

----

Ash: Mi historia era bonita bueno.

Tulip, who was forced to study a lot of langauges: YOUR HISTORY IS BEAUTIFUL GOOD?

----

Sora: Please tell me that's a bb gun.

Arle: It's a water gun filled with lemon juice. I suggest you put your lanky legs to use.

----

Shantae, pointing at SMG4&3: Historians would call them Political Figures. Modernisms would call them gay.

----

Arle: Wait, so you were homeschooled?

Tulip: Were my glaring parental issues not enough evidence?

----

Shantae, Ash, and Tulip: *in-depth discussion about Tulip's new machine*

Sora: Finally, all flavors of neurodivergency.

----

Arle: *bites Shantae's shoulder*

Shantae: Why?

Arle: The voices.

----

Ash: So you do have your license, right?

Tulip: ..

Shantae: You do have your license, right? Right, Tutu?

Tulip: *rolls up the windows*

Shantae: TUTU?

Tulip: *locks the doors* You're in it now, birches.

----

Arle: DID YOU USE SUGAR INSTEAD OF BAKING POWDER??

Sora: MAYBE??

Arle: GOD DAMN IT, SORA!

Desmond: Why are the pots sticky-

----

Teen Squad: *staring at a flooded road as rain pours down*

Others: *slowly look at Ash*

Ash: In my defense, I didn't think Buizel was capable of this.

----

Tulip: I'm too white for spice..

Laharl: We can fix that.

Shantae: Don't.

Ta!au HC’s but their more focused on Rowan bc I love his old ass in this au to much

\ if he had to pick a favorite kid between Gary, Ash and Dawn it would be Gary without hesitation. he was the first scrappy little Buizel, a nickname he only ever calls Gary in his head, Rowan willingly brought home. 

\ he wasn’t to pleased when Councilman Kyubi from Unova and Regi, human Kyurem and Regigigas respectfully, showed up at his door at ass o’clock in the morning. Ash and Pikachu, beaten and bruise with noticeable dashes of dried blood on the collar of the kids shirt, looked so pathetic standing between the two adults. swaying on his feet and looking like both he and his partner were about to drop from exhaustion. 

\ Gary saw and snatched Ash right up before Rowan could turn the three away, because being a babysitter is not his problem. Gary works for him for Arceus sake, he can’t get away from the brunette even if he tried. though the Professors steely marine strength resolve dissipated when he saw just how heavily Ash leaned into Gary after the door was closed. 

\ Rowan refers to Ash as a short circuited Rotom in his head. Dawn is the only one who gets the verbal nickname of Shinx, she totally doesn’t rub it into Gary and Ash’s face when Rowans not around. 

\ is actually really sentimental, it’s the old age, and Ingo gets the brunt of it when they officially start dating. 

\  “My shining Gallade” get’s used pretty often along with “Sneaky Zoroark” when he finds Ingo sneaking down the halls to get a midnight snack or to sneak into his office when Rowans working on paperwork to try and steal his attention. 

\ big on words of affirmation, those come easy to both the kids and his assistants. it’s one of the main reasons why it’s so hard to be accepted to be apart of his small group of lab assistants because the man doesn’t trust easy and an open spot is fought over so hard in the science community. 

\ doesn’t give touches a lot, saves the act for when he’s being really sentimental over someone or something, but likes to receive. never flinches away when the kids lean in on him during the early hours of the mornings-when the nightmares are still a little to fresh and they needed just a little bit of support-or when Ingo places a hand on some part of his neck to get Rowan’s attention. 

\ Ingo constantly has cold long bony fingers, seemingly no matter what the weather is like, and Emmet used to hate it when he touched him with them. the kids always flinch away and whine when he teasingly dances the tips of his fingers along the back of their neck when their zoning out or hyper focused on something. he can’t for the life of him make Rowan flinch away. the Professor always leans into the touch regardless if Ingo’s hand was incased in a bowl of icy cold water just mere seconds before. 

\ Ingo naturally just cold as shit and he wasn’t like this before Hisui so it’s definitely a post-thing. like he ran cold-ish for a human being but now it’s like he’s almost constantly covered in ice and snow. he didn’t notice it back in Hisui, when Ash and Dawn repeatedly pointed it out while dancing out of his grip during their sparring but it hinders him a lot now that he’s back in the present time. 

\ Rowan, Gary and Ash naturally carry hand warmers since Sinnoh’s cold and Ash and Rowan’s bones have taken their fair share of beatings but the whole squad takes it upon themselves to always have at least two ones ready and waiting to go incase Ingo suddenly needs them

\ not like Ingo doesn’t already have four in his sweater pockets already. 

\ Sandgem Town quickly becomes the new hot spot of Legendary’s and the two residents just look at what's going on, notices they stick around Rowans house, and decides it’s not worth it to brother the Professor. heading back inside like they were just checking the weather outside. 

\ Gary cooks, Rowan grills/barbecues, Ash bakes, Ingo is good at frying stuff and Dawn tops it all off by making some mean salads with hand made dressings. they try their best to have a somewhat family dinner but since all five of their schedules are so wacked in ways they have to coordinate who’s going to be home or not. 

\ Rowan and Ingo prefer Kalosian based food the best. pasta or a small charcutiery board of prosciutto, kalosian creamy cheese’s like brie, crackers and fruits. both are so used to snacking throughout the day that if their working on paperwork together in Rowans office the older man will make a board so they can eat through it. it seems to make the time fly easier when they do. 

\ Gary is a spice-olic. it seems no plate is spicy enough for him. always offers Ash a bite no matter how hot it is because Ash is a damn foodie and eat it regardless. Rowan always sighs deeply when their out and about in restaurants because Ash will no doubt make a scene. 

\ Ash loves Kantonian food, even though he has very little spice tolerance, but if he had to chose his ultimate favorite food it would have to be extra crispy, thick crust, deep fried imitated-Combusken. he’s had real deep fried Combusken before but prefers the vegan option because the texture of the ‘meat’ is better in his opinion.

\ it’s not like he didn’t feel guilting thinking about May’s Blaziken when he tried it for the first time. 

\ oddly enough that’s not Ash’s favorite part of the dish. it’s just the skin and breading. he will literally leave the ‘meat’ alone and just eat the outer layer of breading and be happy. Ingo is trying to perfect it so Ash doesn’t waste to much money buying the whole thing meal, even if Gary and Dawn happily eat the ‘meat’ part with out Ash having to ask them, but he’s failing horribly since it’s hard to cut the skin off without cooking it. 

\ Dawn has no spice level and actively refuses any bite of spicy-shit that Gary offers. she knows what she likes and sticks to her comfort foods, even if the majority of her diet is junk foods like chips and candy besides the salad she eats every other day. 

\ both Ingo and Ash don’t use phones. Ash because he just doesn’t want to and doesn’t really see the point since he can call people on his pokedex. Ingo because he’s taking a break from the majority of electronics, since he’s been around Lord Electrode Ingo can now hear the electricity running through the house and the lab. 

\ it’s not uncommon for the others to find Ingo reading a book next to a lit flame instead of having the lights on. Ash and Rowan can easily navigate through the dark, Gary just uses the glow of Umbreons rings to watch out where he’s stepping and Dawn just uses the flash on her phone but turned down to the lowest setting. 

\ it’s weird to the other professor’s how easily Rowan can share his space with the four and his more long standing assistants but not his fellow colleagues. it’s a trust thing that he picked up in the Corps and it just stuck. 

\ when Ash is gone and Dawn is off with Barry and Zoey, silence over takes the house. besides the odd argument with Oak over the phone or video feed and the way Professor Magnolia and Birch just talks loud in general there’s rarely any continuous loud noises. it does change when Ash is finally able to transfer all his Pokémon from Oaks ranch to Rowans care, Charizard and Swellow are loud motherfuckers in the morning, but not by much as the majority of his Pokemon enjoy the silence or go scream in the woods that boarder the back of Rowans large backyard.

Chapter 1-

I have started playing Pokémon Violet as a Wonderlocke!

Tonight on stream I completed the first two gym badges and titan battles!

We did lose 3 Pokémon tonight… Who Dat Buoy the Buizel, Goji the Frigibax, and Dumbo the Phanpy…

Next stream we will take on our first Team Star squad boss!

Follow on Twitch (twitch.tv/ghost_says_meh) or Twitter (@ghost_says_meh) for stream notifications!

[fireroll]

Tell me your Pokemon faves pls!!

YOO i've been wanting to go on a rant about cool Pokémon, your timing is /pos

I'm not sure whether you mean the characters, or the actual Pokémon, but I'll do both!

Also would like to clarify I'm just a very indecisive person. I genuinely don't dislike any of the Pokémon sjdhfj

Fuecoco's my favourite starter Pokémon! He's just so goofy and silly. Not a single thought behind those eyes. /pos (Also I have a little Gen 9 bias but shh /lh) Overall I just really like Fire starters c:

I also really appreciate Sandygast, small sandcastle fella who was my first shiny in Scarlet/Violet (the black colours are amazing too!) Gen 3 to Gen 6 the designs peaked imo, but I seriously love every single one of those critters :] Name any Pokémon and I will go on a mini-rant talking about how I appreciate them.

Honourable mentions goes to the Chimchar line, the elemental monkeys (people hate them but I think they're really neat), the Turtwig line, the Gligar line, Buizel, and East (Blue) Shellos!!

As for Pokémon characters! I'm very basic haha, fav champion would probably be Cynthia (or Steven/Wallace), they're just soo cool!! The Gen 9 rival-trio scores really high in my heart, they just have so much personality even just in-game, and watching them banter and talk to each other was such a nice experience. I particularly like Nemona because she's just so excited to see me!! Gets me pumped up too :D Penny is just a solid mood and Arven needs a hug and more dogs.

Honourable mentions goes to Team Rocket (Jessie, James, Meowth, Wobbuffet), Clemont (from the XYZ anime), and the Sun & Moon anime squad!

I probably forgot a bunch as I can guarantee I like a lot more characters and Pokémon than I listed out here.

Lastly, thanks for the ask!! I appreciate it >:]

[mischievousmeh]

warning: the following contains spoilers for pokémon scarlet/violet

today has been hectic, so i haven’t had the chance to update yet, sorry! i’m typing this out from someplace pretty sandy, on the hunt for our next titan! we’ve found a small cave to shelter ourselves from the sandstorm, so my boyfriend and i are just sort of sitting here, haha! anyway, here’s how today has been so far!

it started with a call from a… friend, or maybe just an associate of mine. i don’t know their name, and it’s pretty obvious they’re using a voice changer, so i have no clue who exactly cassiopeia is. i’m very certain that’s a code name of some sort. there’s a lot of things about what i have done that i’m not sure i can really talk about… but i trust my followers aren’t part of team star, so i can spill the beans!

me - and this familiar faced fellow here that i met - along with my boyfriend aether, cassiopeia, and at least one other person… are all part of a covert operation called operation starfall. our objective is to defeat team star by debasing its leaders, one by one, until their entire team crumbles. i’ve been pretty quiet about this, because until today, aether and i weren’t sure we should join cassiopeia’s cause. but things are different now.

we stumbled upon a team star base today. and cassiopeia - who i guess is somehow tracking us - alerted us of this, assuming we were joining. well, seeing our team star harassed that one uva student from before… our choice was clear. the base belonged to the schedar squad, a fire-type subdivision of team star that is camped out near artazon city. aether and i defeated the grunt by the gates with ease, and took six pokémon in, between the both of us. clive, also a fellow uva student, found a friend - charlos the charcadet, who lived on the grounds of uva itself. what is he doing way out here, anyway?

anyway, i took in meatball, gwaine, and my zangoose, zander. aether took his houndour (dabi), his buizel (leon), and his luxio (arisu). we absolutely ripped through the schedar squad’s pokémon, defeating at least sixty of our opponents. this was just what we were looking for. after we made enough noise, the leader of the schedar squad came out to meet us… mela.

despite her very intimidating demeanor and glare, mela seems very cool! her fashion sense is next level, and that gruff attitude of hers actually accentuates how cool she seems. somehow, i actually think i may have some gender envy looking at her! :0 anyway, she’s an absolutely terrifying opponent to face off against! meatball was actually able to turn the battle around when it was looking pretty scary!

maybe he wanted to make me proud since he couldn’t participate in the battle against brassius? either way, with most of my party defeated, he made a pretty good last stand against the schedar starmobile, a scarily amped up varoom (i think?). in the end, mela complimented our battling prowess, especially that of meatball, which made him jump for joy.

she even gave us TMs! both were for flame charge, which she promised was for meatball and dabi, and definitely not for us. if you’re reading this, mela, thank you! according to the tm machine at the pokémon center, meatball can’t actually learn it, so i’ll just keep it as a keepsake of our awesome battle! you’re really cool, and i hope we can battle again soon!

my boyfriend snapped this picture of us on his rotom phone after the battle! (wow, what a strong grip!) anyway, now that we have her leader badge, does that make us leaders of team star? i don’t think we really qualify! either way, we’re 1/5th of the way through with operation starfall! we’ve already declared war on you, team star, but here’s it written a bit more clearly: we will defeat you!

maybe you aren’t all bad. i think mela is good, deep down! and she thinks of you so fondly, you know? it’s nothing personal, but we have to defeat you. mela said something about an operation star… not operation starfall. what is it, i wonder? i didn’t want to pry, even though clive seemed to really want to.

and charlos tagged along! he and mela used to be friends back when she still attended uva, and it seems he hasn’t forgotten her so easily. charlos really wants mela to return to uva, but she says she can’t go back. it was heart wrenching to see, especially because you could tell she really cares for that little charcadet, too… she understands him so well. i’m certain a part of her wishes she could take him with her. :c this is getting a little long, so i’ll make another post!

Battle Attraction Rules

Battle Attractions are smaller rides with more specific battle rules than the primary Coasters.

Scheduling

Each of the seven Attractions is available for casual battling throughout the week, but the two Battle Operators (and therefore their stamp and any streak-based rewards) for the Attractions cycle between them and is only available at each Attraction one day a week. This makes off-days a great time to practice, try new strategies, or simply enjoy the rides without pressure to battle at all.

Sunday: Spinda-Teacups (Trill) | Monday: Emolga's Shocking Adventure (Reid) | Tuesday: Bombirdier Tower (Trill) | Wednesday: Buizel's Day Out (Reid) | Thursday: Octillery Defense Force (Reid) | Friday: Falinks Squadz (Trill) | Saturday: Haunted Mansion (Reid)

Rules

Standard rules for the select ticket apply unless otherwise stated in the Attraction's specific rules. Trainers always bring three Pokemon to an Attraction. To win, one must defeat seven opponents in a row. In order to account for these rides' limited availability, an attraction only needs to be won once to acquire its associated stamp.

Spinda-Teacups

Try not to get dizzy or let your opponent's team run circles around you in this series of rotation battles! Trainers must rely on their wits in order to defeat opponents without the use of powerful tools like Z-Moves, Mega Evolution, or Terastallization. Light Cup restrictions apply. Battle Operator: Trill

Bombirdier Tower

Complete each single battle before you're dropped! Battles may last no longer than ten rounds -- after that, if both sides still have at least one Pokemon left standing, both trainers lose! Battle Operator: Trill

Falinks Squadz

Team up with your Pokemon Squad for some laser tag - and when you're shot, prepare to battle! These are standard triple battles. Battle Operator: Trill

Emolga's Shocking Adventure

Travel with Emolga on his journey to find his friend Dedenne! This dark ride features a variety of terrains. After each of these single battles, you'll be warned of the upcoming terrain and given the opportunity to change your team's order (but not its composition). Terrains are chosen at random with equal probability. Battle Operator: Reid

Haunted House

Navigating battles in this spooky maze is trickier than it sounds. Trainers participate in single battles, but each battle has a 50% chance of taking place in a Trick Room and a 50% chance of taking place in a Magic Room. (That's a 25% chance each of neither, both, one, or the other.) Battle Operator: Reid

Buizel's Day Out

Enjoy a nice, wet day out on this splashy log ride! If your Pokemon hate the water, then bring an umbrella, because you can expect to get rained on throughout this series of single battles - though you may also get the occasional Sunny Day. Battle Operator: Reid

Shooting Game: Octillery Defense Force

Fend off hordes of enemies on your Octillery Cannon while your Pokemon attempt to weather the storm of seven single battles in a row without you or your upcoming opponents healing. May the most tenacious team win! Battle Operator: Reid

Hopeful Plotential: Ash’s Old Pokemon

yeah im using hopeful instead of wasted becuz im optimistic shut up

One trend that has kiiiiinda been dying in the Pokemon Anime is Ash bringing back or at least reuniting with his older mons. To me, I really don’t see why such a trend would have a need to be toned down. Yeah, Ash should always put a lot of focus and emphasis on his current roster (which is very crucial in Journeys considering Dragonite and Gengar haven’t been used in an on-screen official battle since episode 25 and Dracovish has yet to be used at all), but at the very least remembering older veterans would be a nice gesture for viewers who are fans of them.

Ash’s journeys in Johto and Sinnoh honestly did this justice, as Ash mainly focused on his current roster throughout the entirety of those series in order to give his new fighters the development and screen time they would need before deciding to also rely on older mons at the League, giving old faces a fresh, new return and while also diversifying his current team members with them.

But after Ash’s Sinnoh adventures, this is kinda when the trope started to die a little. Best Wishes does get a pass, though, since not only did Charizard return at the near end, Muk made a few cameos, and we even got a flashback for Butterfree, but the openings and endings for the final batch of episodes showcased Ash’s older mons at the lab, which was basically a message from the writers that, yes, they do remember all those beloved old faces. The icing on the cake was the picture frame Delia decorated her walls with at the end of the final episode, depicting Ash at Oak’s ranch with both his Unova team AND all of his Pokemon left at the lab. (which was sadly only showcased in the Japanese version.. for some reason)

XYZ didn’t even bother to showcase any of Ash’s old mons, not even for a cameo, and while Sun and Moon did a slightly better job with the episode where Ash and his friends go to Kanto, it honestly was kinda... lackluster. The only true reunion Ash had was with his Bulbasaur. Meanwhile, Muk and Tauros were only used comedic gags instead of anything proper, Charizard was only in a flashback, and Totodile and Corphish didn’t even get to see Ash at all. Everyone else was no where to be seen and, for some reason, Squirtle was there too... even though he and his squad have no reason to be at Oak’s lab, and if it was for a visit, why didn’t he get to reunite with Ash for at least a moment like Bulbasaur did?

I’m not asking for much, I’m just saying that at least a more proper depiction of Ash reuniting with his older mons, even if it’s brief, would be a good way of showing appreciation for them. Like in episode 2 for example. Imagine alongside the shot that showed off Ash’s past accomplishments, there would be another shot somewhere on the Ketchum Residence Walls depicting an updated group picture of Ash and his older mons at Oak’s lab next to another frame featuring Ash and his Alola Team in front of Kukui’s house. As I said before, the freakin’ manga wasn’t afraid to show Ash’s past mons, so I don’t see why the anime would be. Or maybe you could use Ash’s old mons to make episode 30 a lot less insufferable by having Pikachu pass by the ranch when he makes it to Pallet Town, causing him to realize just how freaking petty and entitled he’s been acting by being jealous of Riolu when he himself should be mature enough to know that Riolu, being the team baby at the time, should receive all the attention it can get to reach his and everyone else’s level AND that, compared to literally everyone at the ranch, he’s having it lucky.

Again, not asking for much, and even though it’s kinda ridiculous Ash hasn’t even mentioned any of his previous mons even though he’s literally still in Kanto, you could easily excuse this by just giving the Coronation Series a strict ruleset for participants to only have up to 6 Pokemon on their team, which could also explain why Ash hasn’t used Mimey since the Frontier Cup. With that said, that doesn’t Ash can’t use his older mons to help train his current team. Charizard could help Dragonite with aerial combat, Muk could help Gengar with evasion, Lucario could throw hands with Infernape, Buizel, or Scraggy, the possibilities are just endless honestly.

And while I’m positive we will get more of Ash’s Alola team, maybe even having Ash’s Incineroar battle for the first time, I’m just a little miffed that the best thing we got for any of Ash’s mons pre-Alola is a still flashback image of Ash’s Bayleef. Wonderful.

[lovingnekoma]

haikyuu but like, we’re actually in it: w/ my moots part II

uhh part 2 because i have a lot of moots and i love you all. happy new years! i appreciate you a lot <3 part I

@taeya-san i feel like you’d be happiest in fukurodani. third year. girls volleyball player <3 you and konoha? kind of a vibe. you third wheel w bokuto and akaashi to get ice cream a lot but sakurai comes along too sometimes. you meet matsukawa by accident because he comes to tokyo on vacation and you run into him at the ice cream shop. you don’t ditch the others to hang with him but you get his number and you guys have a good relationship. you grow apart and sadly but mutually split. then you go to uni and go to watch some volleyball matches bc you miss playing and literally run straight into ushijima lmao. do i gotta say anything else?

@tetsurolls imma be honest. i see you at fukurodani being good friends with akaashi. i kind of see you more as like — an avid volleyball watcher or manager-in-training. you’re a second year. however — you have family in miyagi and meet iwaizumi there while on a run or walk. issa meet cute. he’s kinda a long-term crush you have but he’s kinda oblivious even though he likes you back and neither of you really act until he comes to tokyo and you guys both go to the same university.

@mostismore you should have gone to nekoma but y’all moved last min and ended up in seijoh. you like watching volleyball and picked up being a manager-in-training as an extracurricular in your first year. now you’re in your second year. you’re at this massive training camp and talking to some of the other managers and wind up meeting kuroo. you’re not super into him at first but as the week goes on you find yourself gravitating towards him and having incredibly productive and deep discussions about life and social systems and education. you end up exchanging contact info and stay long term friends until way into university, where you develop romantic feelings. lucky for you, he feels the same

@tsukkis-crybaby karasuno second year cheer squad. you would fight dia but sneak away in nationals to hang out with her lmao. you crack a joke at tsukki expensive when you first see him, something about him being a cornstalk, and he makes a snide joke back. you guys spend half a year bantering to the point where nobody except yamaguchi is sure if you have good or bad tension, and then another three months dating quietly, and then hinata catches you guys holding hands and is like “i thought you hated him??” and everyone else is like “where have you been.” also kiyoko has adopted you and you’re pretty chill with suga

@asteroikawa a seijoh, second year. you meet akaashi at the big training camp that everyone goes to, mostly because there’s a small group of third and second years that stay up late to study a bit and you end up sitting next to each other. you guys end up video calling to study after training camp, which eventually turns into you guys meeting up over your holidays for the next year in tokyo. he asks you out when you’re about to graduate, using the second button from his old school shirt that he saved for you.

@atsubos inarizaki cheer squad, third year. you meet bokuto in your second year when inarizaki goes up against fukurodani — he, literally, knocks you off your feet. bc you’ve got mad game, you get his number but he texts you first. you guys text and videocall constantly. you end up flying into tokyo during a break, and bokuto asks you out the minute you come off the plane. you say yes and exert significant other rights to have him cuddle you while you nap off the travel tiredness.

@liberhoe second year karasuno, manager in training. y’all vibe w tanaka and noya but imma be honest you meet yaku and hit it off. in the same way hinata collects setters, y’all collect liberos. you and yamagata send cursed memes back and forth. kageyama introduces you to komori and you convince him to play pokémon go because buizel looks like him lmao. yall have a wholeass squad going on. yachi is terrified. kiyoko is amused.

@sugawarakoushihoe third year karasuno. you jus kinda liked watching the boys practice but then kiyoko notices and ropes you in as a part-time manager. imma be honest i was gonna put u w tanaka but — you end up talking to daichi a lot bc you swing by to help w cleanup bc you have other extracurriculars and homework and stay late too. you’re kinda chill, so you help balance him out and reason with him. you guys gradually spend more and more time together until you very strongly imply he should ask you out and he laughs and does, right then and there.

[twilightvolt]

Well....that was one way to start a new decade, i guess. >  >’

Ok, from the death and destruction to the quarantine caused by viral disease to large parts of the world literally going up in flames, this year was like an ominous beginning that revealed the true ugly colors of everyone around us.

But there’s something telling me that that was just the universe releasing all of it’s built up rage from the last decade, so to think on the bright side, the only way to go is up now, right?

Regardless, pushing all the crap that happened this year aside, this feels like one of my best years yet in terms of art. i don’t think there’s any wedge of this clock that i wasn’t completely satisfied with and i had a TON of tough decisions on what to put in said wedges cuz i just luved almost everything i’ve created this year.

If you’re up to it, i’ll have my usual month to month reflection under the cutoff, but if you’re not, i hope to keep giving y’all even better art next year! ^  ^

So without further ado, let’s review!

January: ~ Days ~

Runner up: Team Solar Rises Again! (drawing in celebration of PMD finally returning with a remake of the first game)

Kicking off right where 2019 left off, i was hot on the heels of my Beastars phase, still cranking out countless drawings and doodles, mostly featuring Legoshi, and even hanging around the Beastars Amino and making some new friends there. this piece in particular i think encapsulates what i was mostly doing at the time, making up stories and stuff within canon to give myself more wolf boi content. which is something that i rarely do normally since i’ve mostly just done OC related writing before this.

February: - Sk8ter Wolf -

Runner up: Re:Hukaro (That thing i drew for Moon)

Ahh yes, the day i peaked with punk rock energy and created something in a highschool notebook sketch style. ngl, with the release of Beastars’ english dub on the way and the fandom quickly growing, i felt like i was on fire with the amount of stuff i was drawing. i felt so inspired and things can’t possibly go bad.

Or can it?

March: We Can Be Heroes

Runner up: One More Day, Emo Bird Boi Sketchies

Ahh yes, the month the worldwide quarantine started because they discovered the virus around this time. from this point onward, time pretty much meant absolutely nothing since i was stuck indoors for a majority of the year, only going out if i had to. on top of that, i tried a little attempt at a fandub and got picked on immediately by yahoos on Youtube. it...wasn’t fun.

I tried doing a little challenge i made up called Animarch where i drew a drawing representing anime i liked every day, but i only got about 5 days in i think? ehh, whatever. i did try, so that means something. lol

April: - ANOTHER SIDE -

Runner up: BEAST CROSSING ~Legoshi & Raymond

This was pretty much the final month i drew anything Beastars related as i slowly started shifting back to Pokemon due to the wait for season 2. but not before getting the new Animal Crossing and drawing a thing with Raymond and Legoshi that would blow up with hundreds of notes and interactions across every platform i posted it on. lmao

Regardless, i feel like Another Side was a perfect way to end that phase of my art journey. it’s like a nice finale to a long string of ideas that i will totally return to once season 2 drops next year.

May: - KOUJI -

Runner up: Fashion (that sketch of Alex and Jet in casual clothing)

What happened this month again? oh right, i went back to Digimon for a hot minute cuz i continued playing the copy of Cyber Sleuth Complete that i won from a giveaway on Twitter and created Alex and Jet, my latest Tamer and her Hawkmon partner. i should really do some more stuff with them.

ANYWAY,

June: - DOUBLE TROUBLE -

Runner up: “No Time to Waste! HENSHIN!” (AF attack against IonicIsaac on Twitter), Cafe Mix ~Ace, Yagami, Lance and Seliph

Art Fight. third year. and this time i kicked things up a notch and beat my old record from last year!...after uhh....cramming in 8 attacks at the very last night and totally going insane from the amount of sleep i lost. ^  ^’

But trust me when i say i will NOT do that again next year, i swear.

July: Squad Up

Runner up: Comin’ Out to Stun (Jet the Hawk sketches)

So after playing and beating PMDX, i started fleshing out Lance and Selpih’s characters and made more art and stories surrounding them and the rest of the team. one of those being a drawing for Mystery Dungeon Day, which happens the day after Odaiba Day. which is in August. why did i put this down for July then? some questions just don’t need to be answered.

August: - TOGETHER -

Runner up: In the Storm

You can tell by now just how uneventful life was this year cuz i have literally nothing else to talk about other than the art parts. no life issues, no big adventures like moving or something. just....indoor stuff.

It’s...kinda sad, now that i think about it. but hey, at least i was making the most of my time, trying new things and getting around a bit more.

September: Small World

Runner up: Rescue Together, PMD Forever!, Midnight Adventuring, Down Time

So this year, i turned 21, which a lotta people say is important. not really, if you can’t do much i guess. though, i did crank out a ton of art i’m super satisfied with as you can see by how hard it was to frickin’ pick one to use for this month’s wedge on the clock.

October: Feathers of the Shadows

Runner up: PAPERMOON - Final Mix - (not picked because it’s a touch up of an older drawing)

Hoo boi, this month was crazy. cuz i drew a whole lotta e d g e .....and a whole lotta Murkrow. lol

It was fun letting my inner edgelord out this month. even if nothing really significant happened in reality.

November: ~ One More Game ~

Runner up: UPokerap Project: Frogadier, - LEAF STORM -

This month....was actually kinda rough. it was basically me falling into a depressive episode after a scare at the dentist made me worry about my self image and insecurities again. but this time it really hit me just how much permanent damage i’ve done to myself in that aspect of my appearance. i know i shouldn’t worry so much, but it’s not great when people tell you to smile when the most i can do is grin since i’m just so....unhappy with my teeth.

But then around the end of the month, i stumbled upon a Pokemon themed Discord server with people that made me feel....not as alone as i suddenly felt i was. which i’m glad i could meet them even after only knowing them for a month now. if they’re reading this, i hope you know i’m thankful for raising my spirits when there’s still things i just can’t do due to financial issues.

December: Colors of the Heart  + Happy Holidays! ~Grovyle ver.

Runner up: ~ After the Battle ~ (the two part KHII anniversary drawing), - XIII -, Sketchmon: Buizel

And now this month. on top of my insecurities, i’ve now been struggling with my frustration with not being noticed as much as i should, watching as some people quickly climb up in following when i’m going much slower. honestly, i feel like the months when everything started lightening up for the world....was when things started falling apart for me. yeah, i know. pretty depressing way to end, huh? i hit 300 before the year ended thanks to the support from my new friends though, so i’m actually pretty happy.

But that doesn’t mean i’m not still scared of the future. i mean i have my teeth to worry about and also my wisdom teeth are coming in. so next few months...might be kinda rough.

Though, that’s not to say i didn’t soldier through it. this month i pushed myself, plowed through as many commissions as i could get to raise money for my new computer and made some of the best drawings that to me, feel like a great accomplishment. even if a couple of them weren’t as grandiose as some of my previous work. it was a big step forward for me as an artist. at least in my eyes.

And i have a feeling....that it can only get better from here.

THE LAST THING IS SOMETHING I HAD TO CHANGE FROM MY ORIGINAL DRAFT OF THIS CATALOG. I NOW DON’T NEED TO ASK THIS CAUSE THANKS TO @pokeshipping​ I NOW HAVE ALL THE RAWS OF ALL OF OS -THE AG MISY CAMEOS.

This is another thing I mean when I say “If anyone would like to help with this project in any way” I have already started to message a translator for work on some specific clips. It is going to cost to me so I have to pick and choose. So if someone does have something not on this list and knows a translator or anything that could be of some help and lower my bill it would be greatly appreciated. I want this so much for myself so thats why I will do some translations out of pocket but when I do have translated clips I will be posting them for your benefit too. So if anyone wants to help.. please do message me. Maybe you have something i’m not aware of already translated or on the back burner and if so I would really appreciate hearing about it :)

If somehow I actually had the SUBS for specific scenes in my possession I would do all the editing and embed them into the clips themselves. Even if they are just written translations it would be helpful.

[theangrypokemaniac]

I've been on Tumblr ten months now, and this blog has existed for nine of them. During that time I have noticed something.

The majority of the posts I've come across have been by and for the S&M scene, as is to be expected.

The second-most frequent are Indigo League, which I don't think is bad going considering it was broadcast before most Tumblerries were born.

Third-most popular I would say is Sinnoh, probably for being the introduction for many here.

After that I've seen bits on Johto, a smattering of Orange League (unsurprising given it's briefness) and maybe a single item on Hoenn.

No one likes that then? Is it Max? Go on, it is.

What I find odd is that, in all that period, I haven't seen anything on Unova or Kalos. No fan art, no screen shots, nothing.

I'm sure someone can point to a bounty of pieces I've overlooked, all done within the last year, but if so, they're well-hidden, as none of the people I follow have shown any interest in re-blogging them.

If you have done any, you must admit the amount has depleted considerably.

Why is this? Is it of no interest anymore?

This in itself validates my own opinion. Had I been here when Unova and Kalos were broadcast, I presume over half of the posts I'd see would've been devoted to them. If I then spoke harshly of either, that would not have been well-received.

However, if dropped, both by the audience and writers as soon as the latest generation arrives, wasn't I right to not be impressed?

If cast aside by those who claimed to worship them, were they really of any worth at all?

Well the same fate has now befallen Alola. I make no secret of how much I despise it, and can not grasp its appeal for anyone.

I don't know how Pokémon even has a fanbase anymore, given that it's ugly, boring and repetitive.

Prior to the arrival of the S.S., I suspected that Alola material would drop, vanishing altogether once a year's worth came to a close, and so it has proved to be.

It's gone from making up roughly 60% - 70% of dashboard posts to about 10% - 20%, in only a few months. Is it that bad then?

It can't be explained as excitement for the new, not with the amount of coverage Kanto gets, and even that isn't motivated by reminiscence, given the average age of the current viewer.

Why are you still posting about something that old? It reminds me of my wasted youth, but what's your excuse?

Why, when the writers want to wallow in nostalgia, do they hark back to Kanto, which no modern fan can remember?

Is no one looking with misty-eyed fondness at Iris and Cilan? Why not?

Or is that an admission that it was so appallingly bad even the writers recognised it, that's why it's been so hastily forgotten?

You could watch Pokémon from the beginning to the close Sinnoh, skip the next two eras, starting again with Alola, and you would never know there'd been a between.

Unova is described as a 'soft reset', with regards to its inverted nature. The arrogance of those writers is staggering:

• Trying to erase all that'd gone before, supplanted by their half-arsed efforts.

• Redesigning everyone with Fish Eye and flat profiles.

• Resetting Ash as not even knowing the basics.

• Warping Team Rocket's established personalities into disgusting, soulless lizard people robbed of all charm and charisma.

• Only new Pokémon existing.

• Catches kept with Juniper not Professor Oak etc.

The irony is that Unova Pokémon are copies of the first 151, so whilst deliberately ignoring the past, they can't resist imitating it, thanks to their own woeful inadequacy. I suppose they hoped if they didn't notice, we wouldn't either.

They then undermined their own decision by stuffing everything available into the third run, as a blatant effort to win back the crowd, including:

• Reverting to Team Rocket's actual motto, not that embarrassingly pretentious codswallop.

Too bloody lazy to make it rhyme now!

Notice they opted not for the Sinnoh one, although more recent. It was straight back to the beginning.

• Look at these hundreds of Pokémon we suddenly remembered!

Just before Giovanni's mid-life crisis, Ash spotted a Rattata, but it having been so isolated from the outside world, his brain fell to mush at the concept, and pronounced it 'retarda'.

Idiots are so easy to please!

• Charizard! Genwunners love Charizard! Give 'em Charizard and they'll forget everything else we've done! Let's condense his entire story arc into one episode of meaningless retelling!

So, Charizard was there to bait the first wave, and yet we had the plot we know repeated to us anyway?

Don't refer to the past and everyone will think it's brand-new!

It makes no sense. How could this be done with the hope of drawing in old fans, and yet filling up an episode with it as plotline isn't an issue, when the intended targets know it's been done before?

• Butterfree! Genwunners loved Butterfree leaving! Let's condense his entire story arc into one episode of meaningless rehash!

Why would they remain when finding the same thing again, absent of feeling and subtlety, not to mention upon discovering the damage done elsewhere?

Recent incomers, who might assume it's a fresh idea, have no emotional connection with Butterfree, so who is it meant to please?

Why is Mewtwo a woman?

• Mewtwo! Genwunners love Mewtwo! Let's copy its background for Genesect rather than be creative! Look, it's Mewtwo! Watch it!!!

Erm... It's not the same Mewtwo...

It's not the same Mewtwo?

You believe the way to an original fan's heart is to lie to them, and in the process smash a fundamental principle of canon that there can only be one Mewtwo?

The writers get a deserved excoriation round these parts, because someone has to, as what part of that film suggested the current crop give the tiniest toss about what matters to you and me?

I'm glad Unova is labelled 'the Dork Age' as every series since its dawn has been atrocious.

Hoenn and Sinnoh held massive flaws, but they're masterpieces compared to what followed. At least they felt like Pokémon, albeit a watery interpretation.

Unova has to be truly lowly for the dunces responsible to recognise it, and neither Kalos or Alola have been as cut off from their predecessors.

I don't believe that's a sign of contrition, more a matter of necessity. Thanks to the same personal limitations there just weren't enough new Pokémon in either era to make such insularity possible. Even between the two it'd be a scrape.

Except whilst previously invented Pokémon designs may be involved, there's no sign of actual familiar characters.

Ash took his original team to Johto, and even in Hoenn and Sinnoh, where local catches took precedent, older Pokémon were still referenced and came back for the League, but that stopped with Unova.

It's evil influence strikes again!

Despite flimsy nods to the past, which can't be avoided, each generation is now a world unto itself, to the point that individual episodes live by their own canon, a feeble web of strands unrelated to anything else.

Why is it considered 'retro' enough to say, have Forms of Kanto Pokémon, for which we're expected to be so grateful, when there's no mention of Ash's earlier squad?

Remember Tauros? And Kingler? And Muk?

Remember Bayleef? And Noctowl? And Heracross?

Remember Corphish? And Torkoal? And Swellow?

Remember Buizel? And Gible? And Torterra?

They don't. As far as I can tell none of them exist anymore, and maybe aren't meant to ever have done.

Same as Gary, Cassidy and Butch, Jessibelle, Tracey, and so on. Until they do, and don't again. Whatever is convenient to today's storyline.

My typical attitude is that the first series is the best thing ever, and it's all been downhill from there, with Unova and all that came after reaching incredible depths of tedium. I don't suppose you like that, but the ephemeral tendencies displayed on Tumblr hardly help change my opinion.

At some low ebb I'll get round to watching Galar, which I'm confident I'll hate as much as the last few generations, based on what I've already seen and heard.

There's little point doing otherwise. Why bother getting involved with the 'plot' or characters if, when it's over, they'll never be spoken of again?

What incentive is there for me to even force myself to like Galar when, once the ninth generation (Pokémon Keenan and Kel) emerges on the distant horizon, those who've sung its praises for three or four years and scoffed at criticism, will drop it without a backwards glance?

Yet talk about the Indigo League is ever present, somewhat proving its superiority. Attachment to it is a subconscious acknowledgement of the dearth of quality in the modern mentality, but which no one can bring themselves to admit.
