Me when receiving a test about Physics: I was studying about this all night! Why can’t I remember anything?! I hope this test isn’t too long—

Me when receiving a test based on Pokémon: *answers the entire thing in less than ten minutes* Okay so is there another part to this test? I can answer more questions or maybe even write an entire essay about this if you wan—

so I’ve loved pokemon pretty much my whole life- I collect cards, I’ve watched all the show, I own and play the games. The first Pokémon game I ever played was Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee and I received it for my 8th bday. I’ve played through it multiple times and some of my best memories playing video games have been made playing that one game.

anyways, I decided to start a new playthough tonight, but with my new name and identity, as my last few playthroughs were from before I realized I was trans.

and oh my god.

hearing professor oak say that “welcome to the world of Pokémon, son” genuinely brought tears to my eyes. experiencing that one little monologue in the beginning, having him ask me my name and calling me son healed so many scars I’ve collected over the past few years.

Every time I’ve had to walk into the women’s bathroom, every time I get misgendered, every time someone tells me I’ll never be a boy was forgotten in that one moment. All because this fictional dude Ive looked up to since I was a kid called me by my name.

Thank you Pokémon Let’s go Eevee for being there. Even if you’re just a bunch of code in a beat-up Nintendo Switch, you watched me grow up and become the person I am today.

and you called me by my name.

I think the most baffling thing is that pokemon fans for some reason entirely ignore a major factor when complaining about new games. They focus on shit that doesnt really matter, like designs being bad (which is up to individual preference) or being too easy (it is a beginner rpg) and they havent talked about how Pokemon Lets Go added an important accessibility feature no game afterwards has used. Lets Go is playable with one hand. You dont need to use two hands to play the game, you just need one hand, since you just use a control stick and 2 buttons. Why didnt the Diamond and Pearl remakes include that? theyre also 2D turn based rpgs. Why didnt Sword and Shield include it? They dont have camera control, the camera is fixed, you could easily play it with one hand. I can understand a little bit more with Scarlet and Violet and Legends Arceus since they do have more complex controls, but for more traditional turn based rpgs, why remove a feature that lets more people play? Lets Go's control scheme was a godsend when i injured my one hand from overexertion at work, it let me still play a game i loved without any compromise. Why include that feature and then remove it later?

Hi! Since you've already done Espeon, Sylveon, and Leafeon, how about Eevee?

[chase-omega]

My personal theory as to why Ash's Pikachu won't evolve is because he knows he's an abnormal sort of Pikachu, as implied by Team Rocket early on in the show, and also implied by Ash's Pikachu pulling off certain moves and feats no other Pikachu could ever do. Something to do with his genetics or something, I don't know. Anyway, if he were to evolve, his abnormalities would be cancelled out, and he'd be a regular Raichu instead of being an abnormally strong Pikachu. It'd actually be a DOWNgrade instead of an UPgrade. I also think the Pikachu and the Eevee from the Let's Go games are the same way.

I like that headcanon better than Pikachu's idiotic sense of pride…

And this might just be me, but I also think Pikachu's abnormalities are also the reason his Level seems to reset after certain major events (at the start of every region or after the end of every region). Pikachu's Level resetting is the tradeoff for his immense power.
