A pixel art scene of the Pokemon Gyarados at the Lake of Rage. Top down view. There is a sunset happening in the back. A fishing hut is seen in the lower right. A mountain range is seen behind the lake. At the shoreline, a trainer and their Meganium can be seen, ready for battle.
I don't repost stuff often enough

Delighted to have given a Pokémon talk at MVC Comic-Con this weekend! While there, I was asked, “why give a talk on Pokémon?” From discussions of strategy, collecting, ethics, and preservation, Pokémon allows us to ask important questions on video games through the biggest franchise in pop culture.
