Always found funny how the “Gambler” pokémon trainer type from Gen 1 was renamed “Gamer” in the localization for FireRed/LeafGreen to avoid the gambling connotations, even though they were old men playing dice in their sprites. 

It’s also funny that, when they were redesigned for Gen 4 (now being younger, sporting a long coat and a hat, and looking “shady”), they were named “PI” in the localization, because someone though they looked like private investigators, which, yeah, I can see why.

Also, fun fact, in the spanish version they were named “jugador” in Gen 1 (which can mean both “gamer” or, in certain context, “gambler” -even though the correct term would be “apostador”, which is also the portuguese name and it’s used in the games-); but from Gen 3 onwards, they were named “Jugón”, which is a word mostly used in Spain and makes reference to someone skilled in a game (the games spanish localization is made in Spain, which is why for years people have been asking for a Latin American spanish localization, because there’s A LOT of cultural references and differences in the meaning of words between Latin America and Spain; supposedly they were hiring Latin American localizators last year, but I have no idea if there’s a latin american spanish version option in Scarlet/Violet). 

But when I hear “Jugón”, I can’t help to associate it with a Simpsons reference, since in the episode of Mr. Burns casino, when Homer mentions the gambling monster “Gamblor”, it was translated as “Jugón” in the latin american dub (which, as every cultured person knows, it’s the best and funniest version of The Simpsons).

New pokemon idea

With all the various item pokemon, i feel like there's an easy opportunity for a line of dice pokemon. like it starts out as a little gremlin thing holding a d4, then a slightly bigger gremlin with a d6, then the fully evolved mon with a d20. maybe you have to level it up based on a completely random attack that's based on the die. Like "congrats, you finally spammed dealer's choice enough that it landed on 4 three times in a row, time to evolve" as for the name, i dunno, gamblor maybe?

I have a question I have been trying to answer. Do you know if there is any mention of fiction in universe? I know there is mythology and storytelling, but the mythology is more of a religious artifact and the storytelling tends to be in either a mythic tradition or fables. I’m kinda fascinated by the in universe implications of not having recreational fiction.

I assure you, there is in-universe fiction created for enjoyment, like (holo)books, holodramas, holofilms or even (holo)theater or opera performances  that aren’t stricly historical, mythological or religious in nature.

Sadly,  we know little to none of its true content as the sources mention usually just titles and maybe an authors what makes difficult to tell for sure what kind of stories were popular in galaxy far, far away (and the fact that we rarely see “normal” daily life of people, as in, life that is not overshadow by war(s) and great tragedies does not help at all. Especially with the whole imperial propaganda seen in plenty of holodramas). Still, here comes some of examples that could fall into “recreational fiction” category:

Holonews like this:

Quest for Quasar

Fans Don't Like Ottekvar

BALDERDASH, ADARLON - Although the entertainment industry is abuzz with the casting choice of Harlan Ottekvar for the role of Lord Baltharog in Myris Pictures' big budget Quest for Quasar adaptation, a small but vocal undercurrent of devoted fans have taken to the HoloNet to criticize the decision.

"According to the original sourcebook, Baltharog is 1.89 meters tall. Ottekvar is only 1.84 meters, maybe 1.86 in boots. Do they expect us to overlook this?" said Groz "QuasarKing327" Niclari on his public HoloNet infocache. Niclari hosts the largest fan-run Quasar infocache, and has collected nearly 1.5 million signatures in his online petition to have Ottekvar replaced. The height discrepancy is only one contentious issue (though some fans are quick to point out that the 1.89 meters came from a spin-off source, and thus is not canon). "Ottekvar is just too famous. Whenever I see his face, I think SuperKnight: The Awakening, or Webb Tenger: PeaceBuster, not Baltharog." Ottekvar himself is unphased by the outcry. "C'mon guys. It's only a holo," he said.

Quest for Quasar, directed by Mryis' proprietary HoloMaker 4.0, opens next summer. (x)

or this holonews:

Holo Critics Preemptively Bemoan Summer Season

CORE WORLDS NODE - At a gathering of the most influential media critics, Core World Critics Association President Jaysa Namoor began lambasting the holomedia industry on the upcoming summer season. "Some readers say I've been writing the same review for the past five years. Well, that's because Adarlon keeps pumping out the same holo for the past five years," said Namoor, eliciting applause from her colleagues. Her tirade included the usual attack against "cardboard characterization, offensive liquid-based humor, bone-numbing full sim effects, and juvenile anthropocentric plots." Not having seen the holos, she nonetheless panned the anticipated summer titles Cataclysm Prism 4, Whelping Day, Split Infinitive, Lightspeed Lightweight, Tenta-kill 5, Another Idiot's Array 2, Crimson Empire III and A Google of Gornts.

another holonews had this little commercial picture with the best-selling reading around 23BBY (promoted just before Attack of the Clones, which makes sense why people wrote about Dooku in-universe)

“Medstar I” book mentioned this:

Den took another sip. "If you don't mind my saying, you seem rather-unusual for a droid. How did you come to be assigned here?" At first it seemed that the droid was not going to re-ply. Then he said, " 'I am cast upon the winds of space and time, like a planetesimal spun eternally between suns.'" Now Den was shocked. "Kai Konnik," he said. "Beach of Stars. Winner of the Galaxis Award for best novel last year, if I'm not-" "Two years ago," I-Five corrected him. Den stared at him. "You have an impressive knowledge of literature for a droid." "Not really. My memory banks are programmed with more than two hundred thousand novels, holo-plays, poems, and-" "I wasn't talking about memory," Den said. "Most protocol droids have the capacity to store that much in-formation. And most droids, if asked to quote from a particular work, can access it as easily as you just did. But," he continued, leaning forward, "I've never met any kind of droid yet who could use the material meta-phorically. Which is what you were doing."

Millenium Falcon book mentioned children(?) show:

"Amelia, do you remember little Lando?" Three years old and all but a clone of his father, he was holding a toy dragon and dressed in the same outfit worn by Lando Senior. "Hi, Lando," she said, going over to him. "Is that the dragon from Castle Creep?" The toddler nodded shyly. "Perystal." "I watch that show, too! Is Perystal your favorite toy?" "I have a Prince Gothik." "Wow. I used to have a stuffed tauntaun."

and Insider 199′s short story give us the steamy Zeltron novel(s):

This ones I couldn’t check with original sources, but let’s trust wookiepedia:

The Adventures of Shane Carlton of the Rebel Alliance was a romance novel telling the story of Shane Carlton, a fictional member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It was widely inaccurate and exaggerated. There was a copy of the novel in the Imperial Data Processing Facility on Tazan. (x)

or

Captain Rygaen's Ploy was a holofilm where Rollo Morsai, under the working name "Jona Reeten," played a tramp freighter captain. (x)

or

Juo Deltar Faces Gamblor the Terrible was a holovid of the Jedi Action genre. It focused on Juo Deltar, a scoundrel-type adventurer and Jedi, fighting Gamblor, a Hutt Sith Acolyte.

During the Clone Wars, the Zabrak Jedi Knight Nek Lawsirk borrowed it from Hedrett Holovid, a holovid shop located in Hedrett, on Cularin.(x)

I’m pretty sure further research would bring more examples, but like you can see, people of galaxy far, far away have and enjoy recreational fiction in various shapes. So it’s less not having such fiction (holodramas are in itself the best argument for that) and more that sources do not focus that much on this aspect. Which makes sense, since most stories focus on Jedi or Sith who either don’t pay much attention to “normal life” or don’t have time or opportunity to do so.

8. Favourite quote from a TV show?

This one was wicked hard. Do I pick something poignant? Something witty? A zinger? Something completely insane? There are so many incredible and iconic quotes over the whole of television, it's definitely hard to settle at one. I went through some of my old favourite shows, and I'm going to offer: "There are things you can't get anywhere. . . but we dream they can be found in other people." (Twin Peaks)

Also: "Gamblor has your mother." (The Simpsons)

16. Favourite article of clothing?

So, back in 2001 or so, I bought this sweater from American Eagle, and it was perfect: the colour worked well with my skin and hair; it was warm and fuzzy, but it was also form-fitting. I loved the shit out of that sweater. However, my mother was not so fond of it. She complained every time I wore it, insisting it was "ratty-looking". She and I have never been of the same mind as regards fashion. This was nothing new. I wore my sweater happily and she quietly seethed.

Well, in fall of 2002, I went off to my freshman year of college, but left my cherished sweater at home as it was still quite hot out and I only had so much space in my dorm. I returned at Thanksgiving, intent on turkey and retrieving my sweater, looking forward to donning it for the last few weeks of term.

I scour my closet at my parents' house, only to see a distinct lack of my favourite sweater. "Mum? Where's that maroon sweater with the stripes?"

"Oh, I gave that to charity. I thought you didn't like it anymore." She tried to sell this lie with such obvious feigned innocence. Isi is not an actress.

It was the only clothing item missing from my closet.

So, needless to say, I don't trust my mum.

And that's the sad tale of my favourite article of clothing.

41. Kind of stupid, but. . . cupcakes or doughnuts?

DOUGHNUTS.

Cinnamon twisties.

Old Town Donuts in Florissant, MO is the best shop.
