The new #FZero99 Meteor Spark Event is crazy, especially when tracks are under the effect of the Dash Spark ones! Also, Big Blue looks lovely with an aurora overhead~

How *un*remarkable!

Reference of Anjou the Absol

Finally got a reference for one of my PMD OCs, and one of my aces in my Pokémon Legends Z-A run! Here's Anjou at last!

First time that I actually finish the new Secret League and I end up taking 1st place! How about that?

Yes, she's going to be Valerie's new teammate, once I get around to doing her intro pre-M4 in ATBU, which is second on my queue.

Stuff like this makes me eager to see Meijin or Anjou in your style!

That and remember to pit Absol vs. Absol at some point.

Maybe we should also have a battle between our teams, fresh off of completing the story, to commemorate this. (I've only done a little bit of the post game Wild Zone, so I'm only one level off where they were at the end.)

#NintendoSwitch2025

As a bonus, they also featured the rankings from the other Year in Reviews as a nice trip down Switch 1 memory lane.

#NintendoSwitch2025

I'm honestly surprised F-Zero 99 still had as many hours despite not playing it for almost half a year when there were no updates and I had gotten everything done. This will also certainly be the last year you'll see Pokémon Violet in my Top 3 Most Played.

#NintendoSwitch2025

You're lucky. I had to reset for almost two hours to get mine.

I'd like a slot, please!

I always found vegetation blooming atop of ancient ruins... (1/2)

Nothing like going to work today and finding out the two old white coworkers I'm with today are DEEPLY MAGA and cheering on that whole Venezuela garbage.

And ending the gaming year for me with my 300th career F-Zero 99 race win. Not the smoothest final lap, and I think I was goofing off because of the small practice field, but whatever...

That said, between having another person retire at work and my state being in the news (IYKYK), 2026 is going to have an... interesting start, but hopefully enough momentum from the end of this year will carry on in the next. (2/2)

Well, I can't say that 2025 COMPLETELY sucked, because there were some good things that happened. Getting the Switch 2 for my birthday and submitting 24 entries (plus two memes) for three different PMD groups were definite highlights. Those things along with my friends have kept me going... (1/2)

Urbain is happy the recent wave of Rogue Megas has been dealt with

Urbain notes that they still don't know who is the "strongest Mega Evolution user"...

...and how that's determined.

...just that it's up to Floette to decide...

Everything's settled for now, but the time for Floette to decide who's the strongest Mega Evolution user is getting closer...

Harmony obtains a Starminite

Lida jokes that the Rogue Mega Evolution crisis is a conspiracy by Lumiose City restaurants to bring in customers.

Starminites for all!

...Lida, this is no time for conspiracies...

#MandercloudPlaysLegendsZA

Starmie is fast, but the worst it can do is Hydro Pump in a pinch.

And that's the last Rogue Mega of this wave!

#MandercloudPlaysLegendsZA

Those Starmen from Earthbound have gone too far!

Lida receives a Water Stone from Phillippe

Lida weighs evolving her Staryu into a Starmie

Satisfied that we showed our resolve, Phillippe gives Lida the gift of making Mega Starmie versus Mega Starmie possible!

Corbeau negotiated with Lysandre to seed money for his ventures...

... allowing Corbeau to start up many businesses, even the shady ones...

Phillippe thought he could take down Corbeau...

...but Corbeau completely outdid him in every way.

...As such, Phillippe was a strong leader...

...but not smart enough to keep food on the table...

Phillippe survived his youth thanks to Lysandre's support...

But Corbeau went further beyond...
