Champions, a Stadium-like for Switch and smartphones, being made to "Nintendo-proof" the VGC from the Switch 2 business model confirms that even TPC thought Nintendo's $60/70 price tag for Pokemon games is too much.

There was a precedent in SM for how it handled the Mega Stones for those not in the SM Dex, participation trophies for ranked events first, then limited time serial code distributions afterwards

Considering that the first attempt was a possessed tablet that ends up GenAI-ing about how Mega Evolution is a really, really bad thing...

#PortfolioDay again!

I'm Vrok and I'm working on a series of illustrations on first-stage Psychic-type Pokemon (and those that eventually become one) and their trainers. Here is a selection of my works from the series!

A wild Rellor in Asado Desert catching the attention of a stargazing Uva Academy student by pointing towards the direction of the stars.

Stantler galloping over the Obsidian Fieldlands with its rider aiming a psychic energy arrow.

A wild Inkay surprised by a trainer doing a handstand over the cliffs of Route 8, Kalos.

Staryu illuminating a path in the deep sea for its freediving psychic trainer.

A digital manga drawing of a girl with white skin and blue hair dappled with oranges and yellows. She wears a dark blue dress highlighted with orange and red. She stands with her eyes closed and a tear of blood drips from her left eye. She stands among autumn leaves in front of a concrete wall.

A digital manga drawing of a girl with silver skin and dark grey hair that flows up behind her. She is leaping up from a pool of lava with a fist full of fire and a blazing red dress. She has silver horns, fierce red eyes, and a demented smile. Lava flies behind her in a wave like it's about to attack.

A digital drawing of a peaceful field of dunes at sunset. The entire painting is red, orange, and yellow with hints of dark blue near the horizon line. The sun gently sets near the center of the painting.

A digital manga drawing of a girl in deep blue and purple space. She has ice blue eyes with long lashes. She has medium length black hair that glows with the blues and purples of deep space. She has puffy blue sleeves and holds a hand over her chest with globular tears. More tears drift away from her eyes, shaped into spheres by the lack of gravity. She appears peaceful, however. Spirals of light and nebulae flow behind her.

(A psychic trainer from Uva Academy noticing a wild Rellor pointing towards the direction of the stars she is looking for)

Inspiration for the Kamui takes root from observing many Pokemon, and Rellor and Rabsca are no exception. A Kamui fighting style that involves the use of psychic energy spheres is said to be derived from how Rabsca unleash their psychic power from their spheres.

It's Pokemon X and Y's 12th anniversary!

On the lead up to Z-A, here's my take on a new design for Wizzy, my Y save file's player character!

What would your player character for your X and Y save file look like if they showed up in Z-A?

#XY12周年 #ポケモンXY12周年 #PokemonLegendsZA #pokemon #art #OCsky

Concept art of my Y game's player character, Wizzy, if he appeared in Legends Z-A. He is wearing a black and red hoodie, black pants and black and white sneakers, along with a black and red bracer that holds his Key Stone known as his Mega Bracer.

Update: Though Drowzee has won out the poll here, Flittle won out exceptionally well on The Other Place.

So I'll draw Flittle first, then Drowzee!
