Switch 2 for me, no complaints on performance except that in boutique mall areas the resolution decreases a bit for some reason!

I've been autismmaxxing Pokemon Legends Z-A for the last few days which hasn't left a ton of time for me to draw. But I'm changing that soon! I should be opening up commissions again this week in case anyone's been waiting for me to make some slots available

Ethan @ethanexion.bsky.social · 17h

It's probably the best Pokemon game on Switch imo, I think it's like definitely within that 7-8 range. There are still some shoddy character animations here and there, no voice acting is awkward, and the story is whelming. But I love the gameplay loop, it's addicting even if the world isn't perfect

Rolled credits on Pokemon Legends Z-A. Definitely not a perfect game, but a step in the right direction for sure. Love the gameplay and battling for a mostly single-player Pokemon game, the new Mega designs are sick too. My biggest gripe is no voice acting. 8/10 imo! But no higher

Pokemon Legends Z-A is out this week, so I drew a halloween Mega Delphox! 🎃 What's your favorite of the new megas? #pokemon #nintendo #art #fanart

Mega Delphox WIP for this week! #pokemon #nintendo #art

Ethan @ethanexion.bsky.social · 6d

People always talk about the most forgotten Pokemon being Lumineon or something like that, but I legitimately have not heard a single soul mention Mr. Rime since 2019. Give it another 10 years and I think he's a very solid contender for "most forgotten Pokemon"

Thinking of making some new Pokemon Legends Z-A art, probably either of Mega Malamar or Mega Delphox since it's Halloween soon. No polls here yet but which would you prefer?

Still working on some new pieces, so here's a Pokemon Legends Z-A repost in the meantime! #pokemon #nintendo #art

The Shiny Koraidon/Miraidon codes situation is crazy. I remember going to Toys R Us as a kid to get Arceus and the distribution was wireless. Pokemon had this figured out decades ago, why are we going back to physical code papers?!

If only there were a way to distribute these online so you didn't have to leave the house... right??

Forgot to post this here, but I drew a new Pyra that did really well over on the other place! #pyra #nintendo #xenoblade

I was going to write guides on the 7 Star Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant raid battles for my site, but it turns out Scarlet players can't join the Iron Valiant raid and vice versa. Actually speechless at how badly they messed this one up

Ethan @ethanexion.bsky.social · 17d

It's 2AM, which means now is the perfect time to post my new Super Mario Galaxy art to celebrate the release of the collection today! Which of these two are you playing first? #nintendo #art #fanart #mario

Mario, a Luma, and Rosalina with a detailed planet background in outer space

It's October 1st so here's all of the even-vaguely Halloween art I've made! Which is not much tbh. I'd love to draw more but this month is so busy with writing! #nintendo #art #fanart #pokemon

It's finally over. This is the last time trial I had to finish for Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, which means I now have 100% on the game!! The time trials really made that task way more difficult than it had to be. Origin Mega Whale and Spooky 2 were the worst ones by far - over 50 attempts on each...

04:34:85 time trial on the true final boss of Pac-Man World 2

Ethan @ethanexion.bsky.social · 18d

It's necessary to 100% complete the game sadly, not only do you have to beat them but you have to get gold

Ethan @ethanexion.bsky.social · 18d

I have just one time trial left in Pac-Man World 2, the secret version of the final boss. I can do it no problem on fairy mode but the time penalty makes it almost impossible. I really like this remake but the time trials have left a stain on my opinion of it tbh

Ethan @ethanexion.bsky.social · 19d

This level is gonna be the death of me. It's a 7-minute heavily scripted boss, but each time trial attempt you have to sit through a minute and 30 second-long onslaught of enemies. The boss is three phases long and kills you very fast. Idk what the person who made this a time trial was thinking
