Something that does make me a little sad about Mega Meganium is that it will probably be a while before we see them in another mainline game. A regional form would’ve been a lot easier to throw around. Given the Kalos setting a Mega does make sense though, and I really like it.

I wonder if there will be a special interaction if we use Korrina’s Lucario against her or something like that?

This is what a hard days work playing Pokemon Legends Z-A looks like.

I can still hear those words…

“Don’t defeat it - you need to catch it!”

And this Pokemon was destined to be overshadowed by them…

These two Pokemon were destined for greatness…

This is what I’m assuming is happening. Our Pokemon will get a temporary level boost to help fight the higher leveled Pokemon in the hyperspace. I don’t think we’ll be able to permanently level up past 100.

A Gen 9 Pokemon getting a mega evolution was something I didn’t expect tbh.

I'm afraid.

Girl, what are you wearing?

For the past 3 years, I’ve hunted for Shiny Pumpkaboo, or even a Shuppet, in the Pokemon X Friend Safari on Halloween. For 3 years, I’ve not found a shiny. This year has finished up and I’ve done approximately 2000 encounters. Guess we’ll see if Halloween 4 is the one next year.

So we're already getting Tomodachi Life and Pokemon Pokopia next year and now we're getting an Animal Crossing New Horizons update? 2026 is gonna be a very cozy year y'all.

Great, now I'm back to my struggle of deciding if I should keep my original Animal Crossing New Horizons island on my Switch 2, or transfer it to another Switch and make a new one. Guess I can wait until the updates drop.

Welp, I feel like we aren't getting a new Animal Crossing game for a good minute now, but this is one heck of an update. $5 for a few Switch 2 features and a bunch of goodies for everyone? Yes please.

Something I just noticed is that the portrait for a Pokemon in the Pokedex will be shiny if you’ve got its shiny. You can also swap it back and forth on the entry itself. That means finding every shiny though is gonna give you one heck of a dex to flex.

Just beat Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Yeah, that was pretty good. 🥲

The Boys are back in town! Found my Shiny Falinks after 3756 more Pokemon seen! I love these little dudes and their slightly bigger new form. #ShinyPokemon

Anyways, here’s a second Shiny Alpha Ampharos after 6468 more Pokemon seen. Mind you, there are 6 Falinks in that Wild Zone, and that’s my target. There’s 1 Alpha Ampharos. I think I’ll crash out if I get a third. #ShinyPokemon

After even more investigation… that’s 2 shiny Fletchlings I guess.

“I’ve been hunting in this wild zone for a while. I wonder if there’s any shiny pokemon in the surrounding area?”

The Fletchling that’s been behind me the whole time:

They’re me fr.

And like 30 minutes after my first Legends Z-A shiny, we have shiny number two! Shiny Alpha Ampharos!? That’s NUTS! I was looking for Falinks, but there’s an Alpha Ampharos in that area that decided to take the spotlight. Beautiful! #ShinyPokemon

After about 19 hours of play, I’ve found my first shiny in Pokemon Legends Z-A! A shiny Gogoat! Not too bad for number 1. #ShinyPokemon

Okay yeah, Canari is a real gamer.

I still haven’t found a shiny in Legends Z-A yet. I’ve been waiting to find one more naturally before messing with anything like that staircase in Wild Zone 3 I think it was. Somethings gotta sparkle eventually.

Regardless of what you think about Pokemon Legends Z-A, it kinda sucks that people can’t just let others enjoy things. There’s lots of valid criticisms, but when you start embodying that guy yelling “QUIT HAVING FUN!” then you’re more of a problem than the games problems.

Sharpedo in Legends Z-A is scary.

So I found an Alpha Mareep earlier.
