Ice Cream Sand Witch

You have to turn them all red, not blue.

Sorry about that D:

I don't think we're going there yet. The V8 teaser had someone saying to stop the train, so I imagine something will happen to delay our trip. Grand Dream City has been hyped up as this really big city, and Jan said V8 is possibly the shortest version to date (rhyme intentional), so I imagine GDC has a lot of content and wouldn't fit into a short version.

I think the next gym will be Ground for reasons.

I'm curious about the fossils.

What's the music that starts playing around 1:15 at the shot of Drayden with his Druddigon? It sounds extremely familiar and I know I've heard it several times before, but I don't remember where it's from off the top of my head. EDIT: nvm, just remembered it's Relic Castle.

TIL I can use the paint bucket to full in multiple sections of color at once instead of having to do it pixel by pixel. I really wish I knew about this sooner x . x

I am making one, and my inspirations would probably be Ame and Jan. If it wasn't for Ame, I would've never known about any of this to begin with and if it wasn't for a fan named Jan making a game just as detailed inspired from Reborn, I never would've thought I could create one myself. There's a human-shaped pineapple with a triangular head at your door. Do you let the triangular pineapple person in?

I think they're all adorable and I'm still undecided. I tend to have a Water bias with starters (I picked Water in 4/6 regions and Fire in the other two), but I could see myself using any of these three and possibly even making a file for each, which I haven't done since RSE.

Lance's Japanese name is Wataru.

I don't think there'll be a Caitlin because that name's already taken and they seem to try to avoid reusing names (Proton's Japanese name is Lance and it was changed to avoid confusion with the dragon E4/Champ)

I find it interesting that Rowlet is the only starter that was shown using a new move. Litten had Ember and Popplio had Water Gun. I wonder if they get their own new moves a few levels later.

Given that Team Meteor destroyed and polluted both land and water, do you think that if they were based in Hoenn, Team Aqua and Team Magma would set aside their differences and work together to stop them?

My body, mind, and emotions literally stopped developing around the age of 12. I've never really cared about IQ. From what I understand, they only measure specific kinds of intelligence. Apples, applesauce, apple cider, or apple pie?

I think my shirt is nice, yes. (also, re: "there are just certain things/phases that all children do/go through": my condition makes me a kid permanently and I never went through any phases of being obnoxious/mean or anything) If you had an army of sea horses, how would you command them?

I actually read his name as Kuiki at first and was reminded of him.

There's also the Uri Geller case, where he claimed that 1) Kadabra was a ripoff of himself (he's supposedly a psychic who bends spoons) and 2) Kadabra is anti-Semitic because of the star on its forehead. Although he didn't win the case, apparently Kadabra hasn't appeared in the trading card game ever since because of him.

No one does, not even Ame. It hasn't been determined yet.

Pressure makes sense for a time-based Pokemon, because it's like it fast-forwards to the future to where a move is used again . o . When I first looked at it, I thought it looked like a crab and assumed it'd be Water.

They'll make a Zygarde-based game next gen and catch us off garde.

Also, I just realized this is the second gen where the Grass starter has a dual typing while the other two don't. It happened in Gen 1 with Bulbasaur being Grass/Poison. Bulbasaur and Rowlet are also the only two starters to be dual-typed in their first stage.

In ORAS, it was explicitly said by Archie/Maxie that in order to revert the world back to where it was, Primal Kyogre/Groudon "brings death to every life form on the planet". Granted, Lavender Town/Pokemon Tower was even darker than that and so are some Pokedex entries.

Popplio reminds me of the seals at water parks that do tricks like balancing balls on their head.

No, they're not. There's a berry shop in Blackview, but as of current release it isn't open yet.

Yay, the teasing is finally done The starters are adorable and I'm legitimately not sure which one I want. I've always had a clear preference before (which sometimes changed when seeing evolved forms), but if the middle and final stages deliver than I could see myself playing three files for each of them. The player characters look kind of bland, but it's nice to see customization is back. Both the legendary mascots are majestic. The region seems small compared to other regions, but maybe we didn't see the full map. It also definitely seems like the region the NPC with the strange souvenir was talking about, based on the totems/statues. Alomomola should be part of the regional dex.
