New episode was so good. And the parallels!!!

[smilingperformer]

New Calendar, confirming episodes throughout this month, AND specially marked ep on 22nd! I wonder what that is about...

[smilingperformer]

By the way.

I think Amethio is gonna find out about Mighty G's identity lol.

It would be funny honestly shshsjsks.

Also, would be funny if Amethio ended up appearing in every ep now while still not a member of RVT lol.

[smilingperformer]

TWO Amethio eps back to back???

Amethio fans feasting lol.

[smilingperformer]

Settei for Amethio's timeskip design. He looks so.... dead inside. May he find new happiness 🤞

Man, I'm so fricking excited for HZ104, Carbou's Wish.

The beach from the opening got confirmed to be the same from his and his mom's picture frame.

We'll be learning more of him.

Liko now has a more uh, visible connection to Amethio with Carbou becoming her partner.

This is such a nice milestone to head to, and it makes me wonder what they'll end up doing with Amethio after it. Absolutely gonna involve getting new design, his clothes are all racked up. And I would love it if he alongside Zir & Conia joined RVT. Idk how likely it is, but I feel like the ending has room for more. But opening is absolutely getting updated to include Amethio's new design after the ep has aired. Much like the flag part got updated to have it hanged up at Brave Asagi again.

HHNNGHGHH hype is hype!

Y'know, Pokémon Legends Z-A looks absolutely amazing and I know I'd be having loads of fun playing it. Esp. with fashion being back.

But I have to be honest: SV games being such a mess with game design, one-step-forward-several-steps-back vibes and bad performance, has me feeling extremely... cautious. Like, I don't know if I should buy it. My gut tells me to wait it out. The more I hear of Nintendo's stupidity with used consoles and used games, the less inclined I am to buy Switch 2 like, ever. I don't even know how true those claims are. But this pretty much means bad business to library copies I'm used to borrowing from libraries. :/

(I won't buy Switch 2 until there's another version or special edition with custom casing either way lol.)

Man. I've never felt so conflicted as a Pokémon fan. It could also be the creeping depression I'm having, but I somehow expect some part of Z-A to be just bizzarely designed. I'd love to return to Kalos, but I also feel like it goes against my principals to support Nintendo's stupid antics right now.

Maybe the more info we get, the clearer it gets.

Tumblr's thoughts on Corbeau?

Catch the latest Pokémon news in our next Pokémon Presents on July 22nd at 6 a.m. PST.

[smilingperformer]

Oh, aaalso, boy am I glad I had no way of knowing of the next ep!

It made seeing the preview all the more hyped! It happens so rarely ;v;

[smilingperformer]

Man do I love how Horizons doesn't go too slow or too fast with plotlines.

The pacing is so much to my liking. There's really nothing that feels unnecessary, aside from maybe very few episodes. But Mega Voltage has been extremely strong for me the entire time. I hope it all lands well.

And I hope Amethio's arc pays off well ;v;

[smilingperformer]

Missed a bit from the start of the ep, but it was a fun ep with Zir focus none the less!

But more importantly:

AMETHIO PLOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!! \O/

Zir and Conia asked Liko specifically to help find Amethio? I think??

HZ104 PREVIEW CONFIRMED AMETHIO WITH SMALL PONYTAIL AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I get the feeling Amethio & Liko enjoyers will enjoy the ep a lot.

[smilingperformer]

did we ever get official romaji for rakua/rakurium?

Nope, afaik we haven't. Locations and stuff like rakurium barely ever get official romanji. Just character names and group names.

It IS possible I've just missed some! Some use Raqua & Raqulium, dub uses Laqua & Laqurium?, fansubs use Rakua & Rakurium.

[smilingperformer]

Awwww look at the little fire knight.

[smilingperformer]

Welcome to Liko's team, Charcadet!

Hell yeah, this is a win.

[smilingperformer]

Oh, yes, HZ103 also looks like a lot of fun, glad to see more of Zir and Conia, specifically focus on Zir and him being a fan of Gurumin! Very excited to learn more of that!

Hopefully it will also have some Amethio insights...

BTW: reminder that no new episode next week.

[smilingperformer]

Finally found time to watch HZ102.
