curious

On JN075, second Dawn episode and she finally bumps into Ash (previously just bumped into Chloe)

but also just highlighted something odd to me... which is that the Journeys squad haven't run into Brock or Misty yet (Ash mentions he used to journey with Dawn and his friend Brock they haven't met yet).

Their team is based out of Vermilion City.

Also trying to get down to around 160-170 so it's nice to know it's achievable without changing anything but diet. My diet is pretty similar to yours too, lots of chicken.

I started pulling back my calories this year to get myself down from 182, and now today I'm at 149 (cosplay goals for convention this year!). So like down 33 in 4 months even from a lower start. According to my tracker 180-160 was the first 2 months, then 160-150 has been the last two.

Entirely just from diet, I've maybe thrown a few random days of an exercise bike but reallllly not a regular occurrence. Probably the biggest thing his how much I've cut back on pop and just drinking a lot of water these days. Not that a casual can is off limits or anything but just being more conscious of the fact oh I really can't just guzzle these down like nothing.

Iris with the biggest glow-up in her Journeys episode, BW2 design is incredibly and holy crap she's Unova Champ? hell yeah Alder was the worst champion

sad she has to lose tho booooo it would've really done well to cement her progress since their journey together where she never was really allowed to shine - and now holy crap she's the strongest in Unova... and still can't shine

like Ash is no stranger to losing this series so c'mon if there's any match that would actually deserve it this would be it

I can't fathom it myselff, when i hear me it's such an uncomfortable feeling although as I start hearing those compliments I think it's getting better

links mana's account to this one so you can also test out the cross-platform command use of the !pkmn command and see your twitch progress continued here

but awh omg wasn't expecting a new face to just drop in with a sub on my first affiliate stream ehe waoo. I don't even have any perks for it yet! I'mma have to work on emotes asap

also wth stream started with the nicest person who's first comment about my voice being calming wth how is that like the 3rd time I got that specific comment when I'm so strongly dysphoric about my voiceeeee. really hits me right in the giddies tho

just realize i can pin mini versions of my chibi models on myself like this

https://streamable.com/w8mafq

also makes me wanna make a lil pet

and yeah Chloe hanging around isn't an every-ep thing still :(

anyways account update thing I ended up going the route that can just allow infinite alts stored in an alts table, seems to be working (I registered two "terminal" alts that both work on pkmn command)

btw !register

oh right also beated the last Pokemon movie. pretty decent! the reboot movies are all pretty consistently fine films outside of the shitty Netflix remake. Much better track record than the original series movies, hope we hear something about Horizons movie soon

copy-pasting the last ranking and adding what's new

Mewtwo > Manaphy > Zerora >> Diancie > Genesect > Zarude > Arceus > Giratina > Lugia > Ho-Oh/Marshadow > Lucario > Celebi > Zoroark > Unown > Latioas > Deoxys > Darkrai > Victini> Keldeo > Jirachi > Hoopa > Volcanion > Mewtwo Remake

100 episodes of Ash's journey left to go, and next distractions are the Pokemon Evolutions shorts which begins after JN079 and ends after JN091.... dunno if I alternate as they come or just batch them down after 91. either way, they're disconnected shorts

oops I forgot it will output here even if I test through terminal if I specify my platform

this test was checking my new account setup - usernames are no automatically assumed to be the same users across platforms by default, you now have to explicitly register accounts on other platforms

ie DizzyRollsEXE on Board 8 =/= DizzyRollsEXE on Twitch unless I one explicitly links the other and the other confirms the link

still thinking implementation up a bit, the manner I do have is working but only allows registering one account per platform.... I could implement alts, it would just need an additional table. don't think I need that though since it would only really matter for b8

ummmm bruh

Goh caught Eternatus

Trouble Girl

hoping GTM enjoys the endless wave of the same Pokestop next to my place

I guess I will find out. What can I do with them?

Entirely dependent on the streamer but typical redeems are hydrate, posture check, stretch, headpats, maybe some sound effects like a jump scare

TITS is the Twitch Integrated Throwing System, just an integrated app that can throw things at their model, typical have like throw a thing, throw a few things, throw a buncha things

actually just came up with my fav use case for Subscription or Bits redeems to throw a bag of Bells that then explode into a few individual Bells on hit, it's so perfect I'm kinda sad those won't be so common lol. maybe I also throw in a channel points redeem but I like the idea that if I hear coins hitting my face it means money

https://streamable.com/b3scsu

the link to BE3 is actually still on the @GuessMyUserName account profile lmao

but obv not working for a long while. there were a few times the zetaboards or w/e were like migrating and you had to opt-in and clearly I did not

I still have some saved topics on old harddrives but uh checking what they are there is no way these files will ever be publicized _

Cop

channel points just gradually build up over time while you're watching stream so 100 points should only really take a bit to earn

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/31c36a3a.png

that button on the bottom left that I've currently named carapace

the reallll feature I'm excited about making is the ability to convert channel points into pokedollars in the command game because omg genius to help get pokeballs

also got TITS working

sorry Ash, it's Goh x Horace for the OTP

eye moisture unlocked in an ash-free episode

okay i think i got that set-up fine now

basic channel points stuff now sorry Manny no more free headpats instead they'll be costing........... I think 100 channel points is fine for now

actually staring at the Monetization I dunno what I'm supposed to set about ads

I see the automatic scheduler is default off but is that how it should be kept? do I have to activate them manually then? preroll disabled default sounds good and then there's also this Stream Display Ads thing that can be disabled

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

this except the classic version

meow

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

mnk posted...

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
