That's such a cool idea.

One note: Throw an entire landscape at them.

Oh, shoot!

Huh... maybe if I had a guide. My Spanish is still pretty weak.

Where did the idea of "fourth-wall effects" come from?

MetaZoo was infamous for them, like having to scream when you played Jersey Devil, but Pokemon did it in 2000, Magic did it in 1998, and Little Myth Marker (illustrated by @thephilfoglio.bsky.social) did it all the way back in 1985.

How long did it take Ash to compete in the Indigo League? YouTube video by Alolan Professor

And thank YOU for taking it! If you're down, I'll need several more for the series!

Meanwhile, here's the video for anyone interested!

A young adult Ash Ketchum, likely in his 20's. He's wearing a replica of his outfit from the Original Series, except his jacket is more suited in size to his younger self. He's wearing it over his shoulders as a cape. 

Ash is folding his arms and cupping his chin with one hand, grinning with an amused expression. His hat is on backwards. He has a bit of stubble, and short hair.

Adult Ash, from my comm for @alolanprofessor.bsky.social !

Figured I'd post the full work. Thanks again for your business!

I legitimately have no idea where, when, or how I got these cards that I just found in the back pocket of my Army notebook, but there are several that I needed but didn't want to pay for shipping on.

Ash's journey to become a Pokémon Master took 26 years worth of episodes, but how long did it actually take from his perspective?

In the first episode of my breakdown of Ash's journey, let's figure out how long it took to compete in the Indigo League.

Thanks to @meza.bsky.social for the art!

I haven't played Unite in years. Is the solo mode just vs bots? I remember their AI being really bad, and those matches not usually counting towards achievements.

I sang karaoke with a Dragon Ball Z voice actor, a Fullmetal Alchemist voice actor, and a One Piece voice actor, all in the same night.

I tried to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt, I tried looking at the positives, but really it's just arse and another step the industry is pushing us towards game leasing and not game ownership.

The global trend of companies pushing us all to lend over own is not healthy.

Every aspect of life in this country is more expensive then it was last year, asking 50 for a prerelease on a set that not a lot of people are hyped on and is a UB set, is too much.

I'll happily take a water lizard redo so I can continue to pretend that the one who's whole personality is crying nonstop doesn't exist.

Aaaah! Cool idea! And if you don't include April you don't have to worry about any overlap except colorless cards!

Does anyone get the sol ring?

So here's what confuses me: Aren't all of the Character Select legends mono-colored except Leonardo?

So doesn't a 5-color Character Select deck require Leonardo as one of the Commanders?

Lessons From Alola — Grimer's Trashy Redemption YouTube video by Alolan Professor

Muk is missing from so many recent games because people in the Pokémon World are getting more environmentally conscious and cleaning up their acts!

And the Alolan breed is helping, by consuming all the rubbish they can find and digesting them into easily manageable crystals!

I mention this to a friend in Mexico City whenever I want to get him riled up.

Apparently they're really adamant that you don't put cheese in a QUESA-dilla.

@jpsz6.bolasgang.com, care to chime in?
