It’s pretty crazy to say I’ve been writing a book! This is the biggest and best thing I’ve ever done and I’m so excited to share more soon!!!

I love Pokemon and I’m really excited to share that passion with everyone!

Calling all #Pokemon Pinball fans! For an upcoming project we are looking for someone to write a paid retrospective on Pokemon Pinball for the Game Boy COLOR. We are after love-letters, pieces detailing why the game was so iconic and/or important, or simply why you loved it.

If you can get your hands on a copy of Dragon Quest IX on DS, that’s a fantastic game! Also seems to be the only one they don’t want to remake 😭

You’re in for a fantastic time if you decide to check out more of the series though!

Rolled credits on Pokemon Legends Z-A last night and really had a blast! I’ve got quibbles for sure, but I was also reminded of why I love this series so much.

Also, love the customisation. If only I could pull this look off πŸ˜…

Loved The Roses, and can’t believe it took me so long to watch Fantastic Mr Fox. Of course I had to rewatch the Mario movie in honour of the 40th anniversary, but Honey Don’t was a big disappointment. Was just all over the place and then kinda just ended. #LastFourWatched
