My first shiny is…a pidgey!
I couldn’t find it for the longest time because it was watching me from a lamp post

I’ve got my work cut out for me if I start petting/drawing all these Pokemon and, because the city isn’t linear, I don’t know where to start.

The thing I like about this game’s NPCs compared to previous games is the diversity of Pokemon. In SwSh or SV you’d have the same handful of Pokemon, mostly unevolved, with some rare ones thrown in. In ZA, it’s like the whole dex is out.

I have about 200 screenshots of NPC Pokemon already. I think I’ve mostly catalogued the city.

My haul of ZA stuff arrived!
I still don’t know which starter to pick but I have hours of character customisation before I have to decide.

I finally finished Silksong on the eve of Pokemon ZA. Such a great but sometimes frustratingly difficult game.

I pet Sparkle. Sparkle is an extremely happy Mega Alakazam. More spoons means more ice cream.

I’ve been forgetting to post my Sleep shinies. Wobbuffet is from like 2 weeks ago and Eevee a few days back. 5476 Pokemon studied overall, unsure how many between the previous shiny and Wob because I forgot to post.

What to do when you heavily crush on someone but they live half a world away, they have millions of fans, they’re one of the top K-pop idols, and you don’t speak their language?
Loosely based on a dream.

A comic strip.
Panel 1: a crowd watches a concert. Small figures are seen on stage.
Panel 2: a Psyduck watches, waving Twice light sticks and wearing a shirt that says “Marry Me Jeongyeon”
Panel 3: Twice performing on stage, one member looks to the crowd
Panel 4: it’s Jeongyeon, holding her hand above her eyes to see the crowd better
Panel 5: Jeongyeon points at the Psyduck all the way at the back of the massive crowd, she says “You! The duck in section 420, row B, seat 922!”
Panel 6: the Psyduck says “…me?” Still very far away
Panel 7: Jeongyeon says “yes.”

I think I got a bad ending. The game just finished at Act 2. I didn’t realise I missed something and beat a boss.
