Came across these three Bandai Quick model kits while out and about. They looked adorable, so they came home and got built.

Honestly great for beginners/kids! Pieces pop out of the frame easily, they're fairly easy to click together, and decently solid for snap-togethers. You can at least pick them up without everything falling apart, though Mew is finicky about staying upright in its stand. Young kids would probably need help with the stickers, and maybe with getting the eye pieces slotted into place.

Going to keep my eyes out for the rest of the line, now.

Venusaur is leaving raid rotation soon. Share your successful builds here to hopefully help anyone who has yet to get theirs, or just wants to farm the raid.

Gyrados, as well all know, is actually a Water/Flying type. This was done because Dragon was not a type in the game when Gyrados was introduced.

Should this be fixed on have his type changed to what he was based on? A Chinese Water Dragon?

This seemed so far and unexpected because everyone seemed to think it was a Pokémon Legends Black/White game. I wasn't sure what it was at first until I saw Z-A at the end. Then I cheered because I remembered Lumoise City was was set in Kalos.

Face a Mighty Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise! Celebrate Pokémon Day by challenging Kanto’s fully evolved first partner Pokémon at black Tera Raid crystals in your Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet game.

The celebration begins when Ground–Tera Type Venusaur appears from Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 23:59 UTC. Next, Steel–Tera Type Blastoise will be appearing from Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at 23:59 UTC. And finally, Dragon–Tera Type Charizard is returning to black crystal Tera Raid Battles from Wednesday, March 13, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, March 17, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise cannot normally be encountered in the Paldea region. Be prepared—these Pokémon are formidable foes, and they’ve got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple these powerful Tera Pokémon! The special Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise featured in this event can each be caught only once per save data. If you caught one of these Pokémon previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against these Pokémon to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught them.

Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon,
through Citra Canary v2798 with:

• Internal Resolution: 9x Native (3600x2160)
• ~~Custom Textures: High Resolution Textures by GoboII~~
• Graphics API: Vulkan (AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT)

And I gotta say,
I'm happily impressed by how good it looks!
Apart from the low resolution font/texts,
I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄

Edit:
I disabled the High Resolution Textures,
because they cause:

• Random game freezes in connection orb screens
• Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens
• Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes

Every 1 hour the bot takes the previous top voted action and performs it then pastes the screen and begins the next vote in an "exhilarating 1 frame per hour" playthrough of Pokemon Gold. You get pinged when the vote ends. If nothing is voted on, it picks at random.

So far Mastodon named themselves FRY, attempted to pull an item out of the PC but instead exited the menu and went downstairs.

Not sure what happened, but Guzzlord was still there when I went to feed him some berries.

I am working on getting all of Snackwell's snacks, and need to do some group BBQs. Anyone interested in doing some? (Not looking to do them right this minute, but over this coming weekend for sure.)

Get ready to battle some Pokémon you may have had trouble finding! From Thursday, February 15, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. PST to Sunday, February 18, 2024, at 3:59 p.m. PST, Stonjourner, Eiscue, Armarouge, and Ceruledge will be appearing more frequently in 3- and 5-star Tera Raid Battles.

I tested the claim of Vaporeon's impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take pounding, all day and still not faint.

I wasn't planning to use Vaporeon against water types because I have Raichu and Vaporeon doesn't have any physical attacks learned. Thankfully Vappy got lucky freeze after tanking a crit.

This is my first time playing Pokemon blue in +10 years. Some months ago I played through Gen 2 the first time and because I never had tried Eeveelutions before so I caught/bred them all in silver.

Because I found Vaporeon's move set fun to play in silver it was my carry in gen 3 and now in gen 1. Espeon is good as well because of the psychic type. I swear it's not ~~only~~ because of the memes!

Typical Pokémon Company move to just discontinue the service without a replacement and not even giving an advance warning of the app being removed...

The BP collection goes by far faster in a group since it is all shared. If anyone is interested, we can set up a time that works for everyone to get together and do this. The more the merrier and there is space for 3 other people, so don't be shy. Let's grind this out as fast as possible!

Edit: In Scarlet or Violet.

Edit 2: there are 2 spots left, feel free to leave a comment to join into the group!

It may take a while to load because it is a huge list and I went a bit overboard with the design ^^°

Everything on this list is up for trade, but I'm not super picky about what I get in return. Sure it would be cool to get a few Aprimons that I don't yet have, but I'm also willing to give these away for free in reasonable numbers ;) If you're interested in any of these, just let me know! I'm usually online once a day and don't need much time to generate a few breedjects.

All of these are on Pokémon Sword and I do not own a smartphone, so all trades would have to be direct trades via the Y-Com menu within the SwoSh/BDSP generation (not directly compatible with SV, sorry). Keep in mind that you need a Nintendo Online Subscription to trade this way, and and active internet connection (WiFi). If you do not have a Nintendo Online Subscription, then you can just activate the 7 day free trial in the Nintendo Eshop instead. It may expire after a week but does not seem to have any other restrictions.

PS: Direct messages between different instances don't always work, so please just comment here instead of trying to reach me via DM, as I may not get your message.
