I actually had someone recommend I try Infinite Fusion myself like yesterday I think lol, so I mentioned oh yeah a friend's interested in it and I downloaded the installer without actually installing it myself lol

yup I got them bitties now too

tf do I make my Channel Points called

um carapace

onboarding doneeeee, is official now

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c0739ed5.png

now I gotta figure out all the new toys I have to play with and oh shit emotes I gotta start working on

first thing's first though I gotta make a command to convert Channel Points into Pokedollars for the pkmn game (also Mystery Gift for random items every day)

ngl I'm hyped about being able to use my own emotes in others chats

I like that I have a perfect point in time to remember my hiatus come-back, because it was a rushed stream to snag the Iroha glamours on the last day of that XIV event, so that was Feb 5th

so about 3 months to get here!

ehe I got to see her here and in Japan~~~

when she was here I think it was her first time worldwide and concerts weren't the crazy expensive hellscape they are now (like everything these days) so I actually had a VIP ticket to take that photo with her <3

I miss her Nintendo commercials (I think they were just for the 3DS)

hrm this Pokemon Journeys says Slowpoke turns into a Slowking if Shellder bites its head instead of its tail - okay fine anime can do things different BUT I definitely remember a Johto episode where there's this pond where Slowpoke live with a King's Rock in the center, but it's heavily guarded by Shellder so that any Slowpoke who try to get the King's Rock gets attacked by a Shellder biting its tail and evolving into Slowbro so it can't Slowking from the King's Rock

the Slowpoke at the center of the episode tries it in the end because it's part of this prophecy to bring the Slowpoke to some paradise but anyways KING'S ROCK EVOLUTION WAS ALREADY CANONIZED FOR ANIME 850 EPISODES AGO, GOD WRITERS

also uhhhh wtf a Slowking used Psychic to take off its crown and put it on Ash and turn him british

oh right I forgot headpats ofc requires vtube studio which i wasn't using atm (only png)

also add in my non-scheduled erratic late night hours lol

it's been fun tho whenever Aria & Manny make it in however they can~ last night actually had a few familiar faces that I'm actually starting to consider starting my discord soon which honestly I didn't really consider before because like would I actually have an audience for that??

a little bit pushing me extra has also been talk of the possibility of putting all my commands active there (namely, the pokemon game) like it is here - obviously in its own channel. honestly I could also just be more inclined to throw in private discord screams whenever I'm just playing games (fortnite weeklies lol) on my lonesome and am less pressured to be in like online streamer mode

...

wait a second since I have my overlay active atm to listen for follows I think it should work right now for me to !headpats myself

gives mnk mod just because I can

no worries at all I get it lol I don't exactly fit in that much time myself when I'm binging through Pokemon the last 4-5 months

lol you did it while I was setting up OBS with a replay buffer so I could catch it and it caught me off-guard as I was setting up overlay view to catch it because why not

https://streamable.com/z5iq23

my #50: mnk! and yes whoops I realize I didn't have my audio output set atm, but I heard it. in your head just imagine the SMRPG New Partner sound effect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N8RMdPo8xc

this except the classic version

meow

https://www.twitch.tv/dizzyrollsexe

perfect test to see if my offline overlay alert is actually working!

but yeah also what I was saying, I counted up the followers in my follow list and it only adds up to 48 even though my channel says 49 *shrug* (as I say this I just got a +1 and the alert worked for me! so mnk if you do it now you'll be the true #50)

heh I made a post on Threads about it to help get over the line

strange tho, on my channel it shows +1 more than what my analysis page says and I dunno what that's about (aside from the fact analysis pages don't update immediately, the +1 discrepancy has been the case for a while *shrug*)

but rn I'm just activating my overlay so I can hear the alert on new follows even while I'm not streaming lol

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/bdb6622f.png

before i blocked him ages ago i remember getting modded for telling nanis to fuck off (accepted) for saying trans women are men but then in the mod notes was inexplicably "he's allowed his own opinion!"

pretty sure that was the moment I blocked him after

an episode just for Lance Red Gyarados vs Leon Charizard is pretty rad

they even close off with Red Gyarados Dynamax vs Charizard Gigantamax

yeah a few episodes more in and they're sticking with this whole catching business.

Goh's goal now is that he wants to catch 'em all. Not that Ash is out of the catching game either tho because uhhhhh he just caught a DRAGONITE

7

oh right and I finally did this

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/65b53552.jpg

bless Scorbunny for being too sweet insisting to be caught and pushing Goh off that silly Mew First goal

next episode he's just immediately on a catching spree lmfao

BRUH HE JUST CHUCKED TWO BALLS AT ONCE AT A PARAS & PARASECT AND CAUGHT 'EM BOTH, THIS GUY'S A CATCHING MAD MAN NOW

in this episode he's caught a Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Paras, Parasect, Venonat, Venomoth, Pinsir, and Scyther. That's every Kanto Bug Pokemon all in one episode, more individual pokes than Ash has caught in any one series not counting the accidental Tauros horde.

Even if you only wanna count Pokemon Lines that's still more than some series ~ Kanto (10) > Unova (9) > 6 Kanto Bug Lines >= Johto (6) = Hoenn (6) >= Sinnoh (5.5) > Kalos (5) > Alola (4)

wait holy shit Goh is gay for Ash

https://streamable.com/mwmdg1

bruh this is absolutely crushing and they've only known each other 2 episodes

I dunno how I feel about the only Journeys companion being another Ash

also what the heck he turned down a starter Pokemon because he wants his first to be Mew???

I could get a bot to post periodic updates in here

of course tho I uh very much would not like my bots to post moddable activity so I dunno that sounds risky

tag because fuck fandom

Complaining about needing to be on CE while posting on CE is not going to go too well, methinks.

But this board isn't really that bad IDK why everyone has their panties in a bunch about coming here. I would have preferred the Politics board to stay the one place to discuss politics and lock that one up but alas Fandom doesn't really think anything through.

It's the same reason I would never bother posting my XIV ID to hang out with people on the XIV board but I very much enjoy the one on our own board.

I like my friends and don't care about strangers. Board 8 is a long stable community of people who have all known each other since high school.

alright Sun/Moon beated.... clearly I think my last few posts highlight dissatisfaction with the series to the finish line. I'll still say its 2nd season was pretty cool but after that eh with a lot of downers

also wth..... all Alolan Pokemon get left behind this time? what a bullllshit ending!! why this change? like back in Black/White Ash's spare Pokemon started getting sent to Juniper instead of Oak, but at the end of the season she sent them to Oaks as Ash left the region. why tf would they just be left behind?

and it's the same for Jessie & James too inexplicably - they have to abandon Mareanie & Mimikyu in Alola to report back to headquarters. Yeah every series they leave their Pokemon behind now but it's been that they leave them with headquarter, not just released into the wild. because then what did Jessie & James even do this series? they can't even claim they ran baddies out which is what they've been claiming in past series. I thought well at least they got a Z-Crystal to bring back with Mimikyu but I guess not

man I hate this what a downer ending to a series I was already down on. this is no Serena Kiss that's for sure

Don't forget he won the Orange Island league too!

I always really liked that championship match too, the big thing was the opponents Dragonite, but Ash cleared out the rest of their Pokemon pretty well so his final strategy was pretty much to Zapp Brannigan the Dragonite which sounds but but listen it was pretty epic

Maniac64 posted...

Did he bring back Charizard or some old pokemon as his 6th?

nah he didn't bring any of his old pokes - Poipole returned (as a Naganadel) and was just like hey I'll join you for this last battle

so throughout the League challenge itself Ash didn't even have a full team, and yeah, he wins the champion challenge with a Pokemon that isn't his (and one he makes a super noob mistake with by telling it to use a poison attack against Lucario lmao)

Lycanroc was his only fully evolved pokemon when the League started, Meltan evolved before Finals, and Torracat evolved after it beat Kukui's Incineroar and then immediately fainted after evolving

btw the League itself, being a first for the Alola region, didn't even have any qualifications whatsoever. The Island challenge wasn't actually part of this journey, and that's why literally everbody got to join and it's a Battle Royale that narrows down the 16 contestants (Jessie & James make it with their strategy of avoiding battles lmao)

and he really does win the whole thing, huh. I thought okay I guess he wins the League but loses to the Champion so Journeys can get him that final accomplishment but nah he's done

and I really want to make fun of the fact that his winning Champions Battle contains the exclamation OOPS I TOTALLY FORGOT as Ash used a fucking poison attack against a Lucario

but then holy shit what the fuck is Tapunium Z I don't remember this monstrosity

also yeah wtf Tapu really just interrupts the CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH to go hey stop i wanna fight this bitch so we really don't actually get Ash vs Kukui all the way through and we'll never know what that 6th mystery Pokemon was that he had in weighting behind his ace Incineroar

wait HUH??

Ash wins Alola? But I thought Journeys was what finally gave him the W to close the series off

.... ngl very petty but I hate that it's this ugly ass Ash to be called Champion. Makes me REALLLLY wish Ash could've won Kalos because that was a really good setup to do so, not this series that really wasn't focused on a league until the end. Ash didn't even catch a full party in this series, Rowlet is still a babby, and Torracat didn't even get to be Incineroar for the finals.

speaking of "ash didn't even capture a full party" I forgot to update the ep34 status post

Kanto (9/10): Pikachu, Caterpie, Pidgey, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Krabby, *(temp trade Butterfly-Raticate), *(never-caught Haunter), Primeape, Muk ~ juuust missing 30 Tauros the very next episode in 35 lol
Johto (3/6): Heracross, Chikorita, Cyndaquil ~ not yet Totodile, Noctowl, Phanpy, dunno if Larvitar/Beedrill count (hatched and returned to its mom, bug contest)
Hoenn (3/6): Taillow, Treecko, Corphish ~ not yet Torkoal, Snorunt, Aipom
Sinnoh (2/5.5): Starly, Turtwig ~ not yet Chimchar, Gligar, Gible... and Aipom-for-Buizel trade counting 0.5 because I also consider it Dawn's
Unova (8/9): Pidove (2), Oshawott (3), Tepig (4), Snivy (7), Scraggy (egg 12 hatch 17), Sewaddle (18), Palpitoad (32), Roggenrola (34) ~ not yet Krokorok (65)
Kalos (2/5): Froakie (2), Fletchling (3) ~ not yet Hawlucha (35), Goomy (55), Noibat (76)
Alola (3/4): Rowlet (4), Rockruff (15), Litten (22), Meltan (112)

I like that Ash caught Meltan but it didn't really feel like a party member but more like Rowlet's chill buddy. cool that it evolved into Melmetal for the League tho, but this series has been all about Lycanroc & Torracat (tbf, they're cool training buddies)

on the brighter end, Guzma vs Ash semis just did the fucking funniest shit of the season

match started with Guzma's Scizor vs Ash's Torracat, he quickly uses U-Turn in a sneaky way to attack and switch in Golisopod with the better Water type advantage. cool cool, I love mechanics-accurate strategy in my anime

so Golisopod & Torracat have a good fight, then Torracat uses Fire Blast and Golisopod freaks out and their Emergency Exit ability triggers, swapping in Scizor to get OHKO's by the Fire Blast

fucking hilarious use of existing Pokemon mechanics omg

btw other highlight of the league is how absolutely brutal Guzma's Golisopod was vs Lana's Primarina

it's Ash's Rowlet vs Hau's Decidueye, already yeah rolling eyes at the match-up to begin with but fine whatever Pokemon always does this stuff. Honestly though man Rowlet hasn't been a serious Pokemon this entire series, it's whole thing is just that it sleeps in his bag (more recently, becoming bffs with Meltan who also sleeps in Ash's bag)

but whatever, so the fight goes on and Rowlet is really just getting its ass beat the whole time and I really don't think does anything while Decidueye gets hits in on Rowlet. At a certain point Kiawe starts thinking Ash might be planning something, bringing up Brave Bird and they talk about its pros & cons in the stands

Eventually, it happens. Ash calls out Brave Bird, and in this moment Hau smirks - he saw this coming. He prepared for this, and he counters with his own powerful Flying move in Sky Attack. The two moves collide together and both Pokemon are knocked out, the battle is decided by who gets up first. Decidueye does it! It's a stunner for Ash to lose this early (quarter finals, having only surived the Battle Royale then beaten Faba for a 1v1) but honestly it's an absolutely deserved win for Hau & Decidueye. I was honestly impressed that the show stomped Ash out here and gave Hau a win that truthfully just made sense.

oh but wait a minute then what's the problem?

well after the judge has made its decision, the jumbotron declares the victory, and everyone's kind of in shock including Ash who's pretty devastated about this loss - HOLD IT calls out Kahuna Hala! As he points out............ Rowlet can still fight! He's actually just sleeping! Rowlet turns over and yeah it's got the snooze bubble, it's only knocked-out asleep from the collision of their devastating attacks! So the fight is reset, Decidueye shackles Rowlet to the ground with another Spirit Shackle (which doesn't damage in the anime for some reason, only pins a Pokemon), to be followed up with another Sky Attack. Rowlet gets out of the way in time using Feather Dance which is apparently an evasive attack that gets it out of the shackle so it can counter with another Brave Bird for the win

btw reminder that Ash lost the Indigo League because Charizard went to sleep loafing around because he didn't take Ritchie's Sparky seriously as an opponent

Ash vs Hau in the Alolan League has to be the worst official match there is wow

what absolute bullshit

worst league in the franchise over this

watching the Mewtwo remake and all I can do is cringe they just turned its gorgeous animation into this abomination

why would anyone ever want to watch this over the original other than a compulsive need to 100% complete everything like me

was thinking MP3 & Xenoblade before clicking

I'mma land on Xenoblade

I was happy with it when I was in school, so many stops at uni <3

some good memories with friends going downtown toronto, the walk from union to the CN Tower, then a bit further south to the (at the time) Layton Ferry terminal which was such a hotspot for Pokego in the day there tables of people selling merch lmao

the terminal got complains tho that it was adding too much traffic for people just trying to depart the ferry and I think the stops were removed

apparently there's a pokestop juuuuust within my range so I can actually play from home. it's like not guaranteed I'll be close enough but a little random gps fluctuation and i can get my pokeballs

I still gotta catch 17 more Meltan and I can finally get a Melmetal

oh wow I didn't expect Ash to catch a Meltan

yes this got me to check back on PokeGo and get nostalgic for the Toronto locations GTM sends

For me the top topic showed is the Eiyuden Chronicle "I've been reading and they say the localization is terrible" one, the OP starts with imgur screenshots of a comment on Steam Forums (it's actually an imgur album embed, the "DEI activist" comment is on the 2nd slide)

I think the only Pokemon romhack I played was TouhouMon, I forget if I had to use another software to patch the FireRed rom itself for it or if I just had a pre-patched rom for the game but after that you just run it in VBA

looking up Infinite Fusion, the installation is a batch file that downloads the game from its github for you and as far as I can tell just run the EXE from there to play

According to Fandom, it turns people away seeing people argue about politics. But seeing them bitch about wokeness? Totally okay! Not going to drive anyone away.

this post got me to check the home page for the current top Popular Topics and it's literally highlighting criticism from the biggest dumpster fire that is Steam forums about an evil "DEI activist" translator

second return of Misty & Brock for a couple episodes again (this time them visiting Alola) and honestly Brock is really making me wish they wouldn't again

he's sooooo kicked up to 10 with his Brock gimmick drowning out the episode and I'm just like ugh it's better when you aren't here

amazed that there are Brock x Olivia shippers from this because christ he's such a child and she's real mature adult. they actually did "okay" when he left at making him seem more grown-up becoming a doctor even if I wasn't really a fan but this is just a big sigh

Not wanting Vivian to be trans because that would mean a lot of characters didn't treat her right is uhhh a weird take. That's a very common trans experience especially in the 2000s.

Rotom: "omg!! Rowlet swallowed an Everstone!"
Ash: "what's an Everstone?"

fuckin' Ash you were there when Nurse Joy gifted Dawn an Everstone for Piplup because he kept trying to hold in his evolution how dare you forget it

bruh it's so enjoyable to watch Burnet unknowingly crushing on her own husband

things that I have access to that aren't yet setup to work: I have access to the Confused status via Butterfree's Confusion, and just got TM34 from Brock but a) TMs aren't handled at all, and b) Bide isn't implemented and that one is gonna take a bit of working out

also not setup yet but I would like to: trades (like I said earlier), and asking if you would like to switch when a Trainer is sending out a new Pokemon

oh right and Bulbasaur's Leech Seed wouldn't be implemented yet either

okay so I've done every one of these except bide

(well for switching when a trainer sends out a new pokemon, instead I have it so after Trainer faints you get a free switch that doesn't activate the turn. so it doesn't ask you, but if you switch it brings in your next pokemon without triggering a response, and resets the pokemon who joined the fight for xp)

dreading bide tho, so many mechanics to deal with yeesh

I always meant to watch Spy X Family altogether

like there's a lot of big popular stuff I've been meaning too but it even more

maybe after I pokemon - now that I'm nearing the end of Sun/Moon there'll only be Journeys & Horizons left to go soon!

also yeah Power of Us definitely top tier movie. mostly because Risa is my favourite Pokemon character, but it's also interesting that the movie REALLY isn't about a Pokemon conflict for once.

*edit* bro ep83 Faba just shrunk the kids

I can't stop

she's way too relatable

good thing to come back now because who knows how many more years we got!

hm, my movepool database doesn't have any gen 1 pokemon that learn bide (the movepool is based on HGSS)

my choices are change tm34 to something else and I don't even have to program bide at all, or add red/blue's TM list to the movepool database

as much as I'd like to do option 1 i feel like option 2 is kinda what I gotta do to stick with gen 1 and also that issue would probably come up for other TMs for the game

also where tf even is my gfaqs account right now !pkmn examine
