You know, since it's Pride Month (and also I miss them), I feel like reminding everyone how fucking important Ruby and Sapphire were.

The way they were both unambiguously conceived as queer characters and let the writers make an established character queer retroactively. The fact that as soon as they share the screen, they immediately show how in love they are, without any ambiguity to please the censors, and they do that almost every episode they're in.

How their relationship isn't always 100% perfect, and they do conflict and fall out, but make up in the end because they genuinely love each other. How they were allowed to be iconic parts of the show, not just through being the focus of two of its most famous songs (Stronger Than You and Here Comes A Thought) but also through the book version of The Answer.

The fact they got the first gay kiss...

...and the first gay wedding in the history of kid's TV.

The way their reception showed networks that yes, people do enjoy media with queer characters, and so they contributed to many other series with prominent LGBTQ characters getting greenlit.

I honestly don't think it's exaggerating to say they're among the most important queer characters in the history of fiction for all that. And people need to say it more, and demand stuff like them more.

Babe wake up, massive GameFreak leak just dropped

Literally like a terabyte of info just came out and stuff's still leaking in mass from Twitter as I type so bear with me. I'm only including a few highlights (including the most legit-seeming ones) because there's potentially over a hundred beta sprites/art/assets being leaked.

All of these leaks were pulled from r/PokeLeaks. I'm doing my best to verify as I go, but will update the post if any of this turns out to be fake (though this is unlikely).

^ Unknown water starter concept art

^ Unused Pokemon

^ Unused Pokemon part 2 electric boogaloo

^ Beta Honchkrow with a mustache (that explains the random crescent around its eye in the final version)

^ fear.jpg (Beta Kricketune)

^ Beta wash Rotom

^ Beta Lickilicky (now we know why it evolves via rollout in the final version)

^ Beta Skunktank

^ Beta Reshiram/Zekrom

^ Beta team Galactic admins
