#pokemon lets go pikachu and 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.

I do have to say, despite being a game that I didn't really care about, LPGE did have some great presentation. (I'd say it was our nicest-looking game on the Switch up until Legends or SV.) I feel like I was a bit overly harsh towards it when it was coming out.

I loved the updated character and Gym interior designs, the Legendary cutscenes were really cool, it had the best following Pokemon (later games just didn't handle that aspect as well), it was really cute how you could style your partner Pokemon, and I really enjoyed them adding characters like Archer, Green, and Mina for more seasoned players. It felt like it had a good amount of charm to it, and an effort to make it feel like a different experience (aside from the GO mechanics).

I found out Giovanni has a persian painting and IMMEDIATELY recognized it as a play on Ingres' Grande Odalisque which is a painting of what is highly debated between being either a Turkish or Persian woman.

He has a painting of a Persian based on a painting of a Persian.

*quick art history side note that the debate isn't about her origins, the painting is intended to be depicting a Turkish woman but the Persian Empire did include the part of Turkey she is supposed to be from and the debate is about whether its supposed to aesthetically be strictly 1800s Turkey or if its intended to allude to the aesthetics European artists at the time used to depict the Persian Empire

Pokeshipping Week 2023

Day 1: First Date

I'll be honest, I'm actually still working on the themes even as I post this. 😅 Can't really explain why, but just letting everyone know that any tardiness on my part is something I take full accountability for. Forgive me!

First date is to an amusement park~! But whoops, looks like someone lost balance! Hopefully there's a first aid kit in that backpack of his, otherwise Ash will be dealing with a pretty bad sting~

Since today (15th April) is strike day, I wanted to make a post of some places you can donate to, to help out.

Even if you can't donate, spreading the word helps. If there is anything wrong with these fundraisers, don't afraid to inform me.

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?

I miss this baddie so much... I wish they will put him in the next main game like Cynthia in Sun and Moon

Not a character we’ll see in the story, but my third oldest mew to date! Mewti was the mew I got from the pokeball+ with let’s go eevee/pikachu’s release! So I recently finalized/update their design and wanted to share along with some doodles. They’re just a lantern tail mew and I love them, that’s all folks ;>
