[ID: A screenshot of a Discord message made by the OP. The message reads: "Sorry again folks- only pay what you can if you can, but things are still dire. Newt's family is spending on all the wrong things, and we need to afford food and antibiotics so they can recover from their current bout of pneumonia. Once they're feeling better we can tackle getting them on disability and streaming so we can have a solid income, so very hopefully, this is the last time we'll need to ask. Thank you all for your support, whether or not you're willing to donate- just being here for us means the world." End ID.]

My partner's been horribly sick thanks to a combination of stress, a neglectful family, and a deviated septum, and we need to pay for food and antibiotics until they can recover from their latest bout of pneumonia and hopefully get the sinuplasty they need in the near future.

While we're also hoping to raise money so I can apply for a work permit and permanent residency in Canada, that's less pressing right now- once Newt is feeling better, we can complete the process for their disability funding application and finally have an income of our own. We just need to get them there.

If you're capable of helping, it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

No thoughts, head full of "Good Game" by Cam Steady and Toasty Marshmallow. Happy worlds day 1

[pkmnprideflags]

I'm so feral for the worlds 2025 album. Getting nerdcore artists for it was such a banger move, and Cam Steady especially sounds like a kid in a candy store with how happy he is to be doing this. My current favorite is Good Game (showing my Cam bias lol)

hoenn games in a nutshell

Archie: So what if the sea levels raise a few feet? Wouldn't people just sell their houses and move? Maxie: Just one small problem. SELL THEIR HOUSES TO WHO, ARCHIE? FUCKING CORSOLA?

On the website, Mable is described as the "acting director" of the Pokémon Lab. The use of the word "acting" implies that Sycamore still technically runs/owns the place, but is currently out, and Mable is his subordinate or a friend he asked to fill in. This raises the question, where is Professor Sycamore in Legends: Z-A? Will he be gone for the entire game, or show up later?

spoilers for Masters EX Arceus Arc chapter 5

When Ethan won the final battle against Silver, my gut reaction was that it was simply because he has Protagonist Plot Armor. But then I thought back on what Silver says just before he unlocks his Arc Suit:

It's all your fault, Ethan! I never used to think about what's "right." But because of you, I started doing things the right way -- to beat you fair and square! So if there's anything righteous or pure in my heart... this is where I'll find it! Battling YOU! I'm gonna win here -- and prove... just how pure and righteous our hearts are!

Though Silver has come a long way, he is still very dependent on external motivation from Ethan to even think he could be a good person. "If there's anything good about me, it will come out when I'm with you." He is still miles away from thinking that he himself is not an inherently bad person. He thinks that doing harm is his default, and it is only when nudged by others that he can do good.

And I think that is why he lost the battle. Arceus may have acknowledged his existing power and wish to improve. But the day he beats Ethan can only be the day when he comes to accept himself as-is, and feel okay standing on his own two feet.

For all that he claims to be a loner, Silver is extremely dependent on Ethan, to a possibly unhealthy degree. I hope that in some storyline, whether in Masters EX or an official game (probably not but a girl can dream), he can complete his character arc and think of himself neutrally.

Pokémon Character Heights, According to Pokémon Scale World

Pokémon Scale World is a Japanese figure set that makes representations of Trainers and their Pokémon at 1/20 scale. This means that if we do some math, we can find out heights for some of the human characters in the Pokémon world!

So, according to this figure line, we have:

Red, Leaf, Blue, Wally, & Dawn - 140 cm / 4 feet 7 inches. Red and Blue being the same height feels wrong lol. For Dawn, this info contradicts the DPP Pokédex's height checker feature, which places her at 142 cm / almost 4 ft 8 in. Lana, Ash Ketchum, and Goh are also this height.

Allister & Rei: 144 cm / 4 ft 8 inches. Cyllene estimates the player character to be around 15 years old during Legends: Arceus. Rei is a very short 15 year old if this is accurate.

Lucas: 145 cm / 4 ft 9 in. This contradicts DPP, where he is 142 cm / almost 4 ft 8 in, the same height as Dawn.

Ethan, Juliana, Florian, Bugsy, Jasmine, Iono: 150 cm / 4 ft 11 in. Either Jasmine is a very short adult, or she's younger than I assumed. This is also Elio's height according to Gen VII concept art.

Lyra, May, Brendan, Barry: 152 cm / 4 ft 11 in. I was tickled pink to discover that Lyra is canonically a little taller than Ethan, as these measurements match up with HGSS's height checker. Also, May & Brendan are 4 inches taller than Wally, and Barry is several inches taller than Lucas and Dawn.

Gardenia: 154 cm / 5 feet almost exactly.

Silver, Gloria, Hop, Marnie, Penny, Misty: 155cm / 5 ft 1 in. Misty is short, and Silver is two inches taller than Ethan.

Red (HGSS), Blue (HGSS), Victor, Erika, Sabrina, Whitney: 160cm / 5 ft 2 in. This may seem quite short depending on where in the world you're from. However, this is about the average height for adult women in Japan, which I think is important context since the figures & characters are created by Japanese artists & developers.

Bea, Arven, Rika: 165cm / 5 ft 4 in. They are the same height as Ilima and Soliera.

Bede: 166cm / 5 ft 5 in. He's 3 to 4 inches taller than his rivals in Galar.

Cynthia: 168cm / 5 ft 6 in. She is the same height as Mina.

Brock, Blaine: 170cm / 5 ft 6 in. This is the average height for adult men in Japan. It's also the same height as Hala and Professor Burnet. (Now I'm curious to know Kukui's height, as I'm pretty sure he's taller than her, and she's already tall by Japanese standards.)

Nemona: 172cm / 5 ft 7 in. She is three inches taller than Arven, six inches taller than Penny, and a whopping eight inches / 22 cm taller than the protagonist.

Koga: 174cm / 5 ft 8 in.

Prof. Oak, Giovanni, Morty, Lance, Nessa, Piers: 175cm / 5 ft 8 in. For Piers, this contradicts SwSh concept art, which show him being about a head taller than Nessa. This is also Archie's height.

Steven: 176cm / 5 ft 9 in. Yes, Steven is taller than Archie

Leon: 180cm / 5 ft 10 in. He is the same height as Oleana.

Wallace: 183cm / 6 feet almost exactly. He's about three inches taller than Steven. #couplegoals

Volkner: 186cm / 6 ft 1 in.

Lt. Surge: 188cm / 6 ft 2 in.

Volo: 190cm / 6 ft 2 in. This matches his Legends: Arceus concept art.

Raihan: 195cm / 6 ft 4 in. No wonder he likes taking selfies, he likely always gets handed the phone in group settings.

I think the best thing ZA or a Kalos remake could do would be to help explain Lysandre's motives by:

A) giving him a backstory or

B) adding some flaws to kalosian society to give him something reasonable to be mad about

I love XY, and I disagree with the fandom's general assertion that Lysandre is the worst written villain (*cough cough* Rose). But as written in XY, he is a bit messy, and i don't think it would take much to clarify it and make it work better with the game's themes of beauty and destruction, and immortality.

i was browsing bulbapedia's pages for liko and roy and was amazed by how few pokemon they own. Ash's original arc had him with so many mons that he had to give away butterfree by ep 10. Liko has a legendary as her THIRD pokemon

Thomas Game Docs did a poll in 2024 to determine the most and least liked Pokémon. So I must ask...

[pkmnprideflags]

Friend: What are you thinking about, Lizzie? Me: Oh, not much. My brain: it's that dude Blue, back in a new tune, smacking your whole team til you blacking out, new moon, i'm tracking a new route, you lacking the juice, dude, this SS Anne drip, I'm happy to cruise through, i act like a loose nuke, I could blow any second, I go where I'm destined, could catch me on the throne in a minute, I don't need directions, I'm rolling with a set of exceptionals, settling for second place is not an option, my crew is incredible, stacking heads on a totem like an Exeggutor and sending all your monsters to the medical, my crew is impeccable, we resistant to the flying STAB, 'Zard, Blastoise, or Venusaur, doesn't matter, whichever way, put a beam up to your chest, make you Iron Man, Solar or a Fire Blast, burn 'em like a frying pan, Hydro Pump'll wet him, send him higher than a geyser can, squad full of legends in the making, stocks rising, I got diamond hands.
