I finally audited my tomodachi life catalog since today my grocery store had no new food (and yesterday, my clothes store had no new clothing) almost all the clothing im missing are summer/ christmas exclusive, but for some reason i didnt get served three winter exclusive pieces of clothing? what?

ok I kind of think TOTKs writers just fucked up the time-travel aspect and theres not much else to the timeline ganondorf recognises zelda at the beginning of the game, and rauru says "that was a future where you never appeared in this world"

my thought has always been that this is another fallen hero situation; zelda disappears from the main timeline and another timeline is created from when she appears in the past but ganondorf recognises her before a potential timeline split...

im NPC maxxing

you can take the type out of the fae trickster but you cant take the idea! yawn + wish + leech seed stalling druddigon, into tailwind + u-turn the turn it dies so that azumarill can outspeed and nuke the rest of his team!

before and after elesa

on the winning attempt, emolga switched out immediately (?) letting gardevoir chain KO joltik and flaaffy. so this after image was a FOUR VS TWO azumarill tanked emolgas (last mon) aerial ace + volt switch but MISSED aqua tail so i had to pivot around to get it back in during tailwind for the win

before and after elesa

im sorry for lying but im really struggling to stay motivated to continue playing TOTK and pokemon is really fun... im so glad i double check things instead of relying purely on memory because i was about to box gossip for route 4 because i couldve SWORN only whimsicott was fairy type

there are a bunch of pokemon that gain the fairy type upon evolving but cottonee is not one of them... was i alone in misremembering this? i always forget something crucial on elesas split it seems

i usually expect completely out of place absurd (but technically legal) pokemon like gym 1 spiritomb and dragon rage shenanigans with these sorts of runs. but regular vanilla marill is so obscene and you can just. catch it. dont catch riolu for cheren, rollout marill sweeps even on challenge mode

most pokemon dont get to make full use of both of work ups stat increases, but you get bubble beam + return + rollout + work up on AZUMARILL before gym 2. and then aqua tail at level 21. this is the most ridiculous early game pokemon ive ever used, esp bouncing off of how stunted BW movepools are

im not in the mood to complete another "monotype" run just yet but this concept tickled me enough that I wanted to at least establish the savefile before i take a break from playing pokemon :p

i got to the BW pokemon league 2 days ago but unfortunately i wanted to fill up the pokedex first

it was pointed out to me recently that wikipedia is infinitely better at archiving creative works than things that actually impact the real world if a TV show gets announced right now it will have a complete article within the hour the fortune 500 article isnt even updated to 2026

guy deleted their post and privated their account the moment i challenged their assertian that difficulty and friction are irrelevant to videogame critique well i guess their beliefs are consistent if nothing else (sorry i think i deserve to be mean once in a while at least)

TOTK without a paraglider is actually very fun but its unfortunately not a game where you can avoid acquiring it for so long. more open-world games should design their worlds around figuring out how to go down as much as you go up, instead of having an "ignore fall damage forever" mechanic

Go to lookout landing then hyrule castle for the paraglider. Go do depths quests for autobuild. Go to new serenne stable then forgotten temple for dragon tears. Go to rito village for hestu and the newspaper. go to woodland stable for kotlin and fairy fountains. Then, you can start playing the game.
