my two fave spots in maeve's studio apartment 🌇🌵☀️🪴

[dana-chan-the-control-brain]

Wish there were more people like you who were open to exploring dynamics between two characters in an alternate universe where they are not bound by familial relationship/title or whatever it's called. I get it tsams/tlaes have a lot of family things going on and a-specs things but eh what do I expect from a fandom that started the hate on sunxmoon shippers? I'll continue shipping sunxmoon, eclipsexsun, solarxmoon and solarxearth(thanks to that one anon from before for introducing me to this) not as family related, and the fandom can suck it

Honestly.

Like one person told me "Moon and Solar are brothers" once.

And?..

They're not.

That's like saying Ink and Dream or something from the Undertale Au verse are brothers cause they're alternate realities of eachother and people ship them all the time???

"but they have the same face"

So???

So does Lolbit and Funtime Foxy. They're a couple in SBshow verse.

Mickey and Minnie mouse have the same face and no one raises stink about the most classic example of same face syndrome.

They're robots and I think physical appearance matters very little to them in the grand scheme of things. But that might just be my demisexual ass talking.

On a side note, I know the VA for Earth, Aka: Kat has been very "ship and let ship" with the fandom. And I think that's why in the Solar therapy session, she clarified that she knows Solar isn't biologically related. Technically none of them are, she just wants to consider him part of the family.

I remember awhile back the fandom was so hostile to people who saw Lunar as an adult and would draw him in adult situations. (Like taxes/half joking you know what I mean)

And I believe that was the last big drama the actors like Davis was directly involved in before he took a step back from that and told the fandom to sort it out themselves. And I really don't blame him. There are people who are crazy and just feel entitled to things.

And in more recent episodes, Lunar has stated more frequently that he is an adult animatronic of sound mind who can make his own decisions, so that they can put that issue to bed with the discourse.

(I personally think that gen1/2 Lunar was very much a kid psychology and through the course of the course of the show, and due to his experiences and truama he grows up in two years and he's a young adult now. This reflects in every time he has a model change or appearance.)

See this is what I mean when I say they are robots. Robots can grow up from 13 to 24 (approximately) in the span of two years. Robots can change their mind about family dynamics and say "you know what I think that i don't feel like a cousin, as what I feel for Moon is more intense then familiar bonds. So I change my mind." And this is allowed. This is allowed. Like I would not think this way about human characters.

People in the transformers fandom are really familiar with this concept as well. At least the few people I talk to from an outsider perspective. The transformers robots change their relationships in canon to eachother all the time from what I hear.

And yes. I know tsams is focused on themes of family and found family and togetherness. Like I'm not media illiterate. I know what one of the themes are. For some reason, people think I don't know tsams is about family.

Like bruh.

This whole show took two years for them to build the family and support network they all have with eachother when before the show was a toxic family relationship with Sun and Moon only. And I think it's beautiful how it evolved and how many characters there are and how big the family is now!

It's great!

And I do separate in my brain what's going on in canon and what's going on in my shipping brain.

This doesn't mean I can have fun on the side. With silly speculations and silly headcanons.

Giggling to myself and twirling my hair about the "what ifs" and aus

Staying out of the main tags and talking to my own friends with my own company.

While also analyzing the show and leaving tsams lots of long lovely YouTube comments about what the show is actually about.

Also. Consider this.

Since the multiverse is canon in tsams, in definition, by their own rules, there is a universe where everything in tsams is the same, except your ship is canon.

Evil!Sun even said that Sun and Moon being brothers is more rare across dimensions then we initially assumed.

So they're either enemies, strangers, they killed eachother, or something else.

They only are brothers after their canon event of separating and agreeing to work together. So there are some universes where that never happened.

Meaning most likely that our Moon's portal runs on a central finite curve.

So take that as you will.

FINALLY have the full set of my minor deities :’)

Cricket and Katydid are triple basic gen1s for now, but they’ll be twin deities of decay!

Cricket is associated with deserts, autumn, dust storms, bones, and solar eclipses

Katydid is associated with forests, spring, hurricanes, fungus, and lunar eclipses

Cicada and Locust have been finished for ages, and they’re two of my favorites <3 they’re twin deities of growth.

Cicada is associated with the sun, the dry summer season, travelers, and cleansing forest fires

Locust is associated with moon, the rainy winter season, healing, and hotsprings

[kairoseaerostar]

This is only true in generations 4, 5, and 6. And even then only if you exclude Heat Rotom.

Just looking through the first 150 pokemon:

Charizard, Ninetales, Arcanine, and Moltres can't learn Solar Beam in gen1, 2, or 3. In these generations, Magmar was fully evolved, and also cannot learn Solar Beam.

Rapidash can't learn Solar Beam in gen1, 2, or 9.

Alolan Marowak, introduced in gen7, cannot learn Solar Beam.

[livewiregoth]

Tamagotchi Ps Places Part1

I had this setup but never figured out what I was doing after getting the last unlockable area.(Especially since it led to different things depending on the character) If you've seen my past Tamagotchi Ps posts(or just choose to pay attention to this) you'll notice I have Gen20 with me while I'm currently on Gen29.(Edit: At the original time of making this, as of now it's Gen31) That's how long ago most of these pics are from, for some reason while on gen20 I decided to get pictures of all the available places at the time.

As you collect puzzles from each tamagotchi you raise the amount of puzzles altogether can help you unlock places. There's places you can go without them(the arcade, the shops, the school, dating place & park) but this post is places you have to unlock, one place needs an item while the rest need puzzle pieces.

This is going in order of what the wiki shows which I also used to help remember stuff cause I forgot how many tamatomo/puzzle pieces are needed for stuff. Tamatomo are what you get from getting the puzzle pieces from getting 3 of your adult tamagothci's favorite items(whether toys, food, snacks or outfits) along with having them for 48 hours. From what I understand 1 tamatomo is 4 pieces so 4 tamatomo means raising 4 characters that all have their 4 puzzle pieces.

I will also mention if something is different thanks to Mr.Blinky's English patch. Some changes are for character limits some I'm not entirely sure.(Bento is called cuisine in the patch, kimchi fried rice is called red rice & burger steak is called steak) I'm only going to mention translations to places cause I'd be here a little too long if I explained items too which are unrelated.

You are here | Part 2 | Part 3(Part A)(Part B)(Part C)

Added a keep reading cause this is long

This post talks about eco town, secret base, & amusement park/fun park

Eco Town

Eco Town is unlocked via going to the park on visiting the park on the 10th, 20th & 30th from 10am to 2:59pm. Your tama will help an Eco-usatchi pick up trash & then they'll give you a random item ranging from a way to plant a tree in your yard, a coupon or the eco car. The echo car is what you need to get to eco town.

Aside from when you get Yumemitchi(who travels in a pink limo with a bow on top) this is the only time you travel via a vehicle

When you get here you'll meet at least two characters(one on a bike thing & this farmer) that talk about how great the place is(if the farmer they talk about their farm) before leaving & returning with an item. Items available are a tomato, carrot, cheese, ice cream, some kind of wooden cart or a solar panel.

Secret Base

The secret base is the first place you can unlock, it becomes locked again after marriage & unlocks after your next tama gets their puzzle pieces.(All 4 pieces) This is where the blue prints for the rocket on the back of the completed 4 piece puzzle come into play as this is where the rocket is built.

I don't visit the secret base very often & the few times I did were early into stuff so didn't see them build this. I should probably put the batteries back in & see what got completed.

Usually what happens is after the animation for visiting the place(going into the woods then the rainbow clouds) you'll get an animation of one of your past tamas that got all their puzzle pieces walk over to you. They'll talk about the rocket some then you both just walk off & you're back home. I got gen1(Righttchi) the last few times. I forgot how many people are here but I don't think I'd be able to get everyone's conversations cause there's a lot of them & they show up at random.

Amusement Park/Fun Park

Mr.Blinky's English patch calls this Fun Park

You need 4 tamatomos to unlock this place. This place has 4 attractions you can choose & each one has an animation of your tamagotchi enjoying the place before coming back home slightly happier.

This place is also used for the background for one of the 3(that I know of) possible dates you can go on if you go to the park to get a date instead of going to the date place.(Doesn't have actual dates just the animation before the wedding) The animation is your tama coming over with two ice cream cones while the date sits at a table. After getting there both tamas eat the ice cream together.

Don't have many pics of the carousel so I put the menu options with it. Pretty much your tama riding the merry-go-round with Akaspetchi/Akaspacetchi & Pipospetchi/Pipospatchi, actually looking at the pics I took they're on all the rides with you with along Hanafuwatchi if there's room for a 4th.

This is what happens if you go to the haunted house(or Haunted as the patch calls it due to limits), I think there might be another animation but I'm likely off as all the attractions have only one animation. Pretty much your tama gets scared as ghosts show up then the room goes dark before lights turn back on & your tama is surrounded by ghost leading to leaving.(Your tama cheers like they had a fun time when it cuts back to being at home)

Here's the last two attractions, I messed up the teacup ride but don't have the ability to fix it at the time of posting this.

Image on the left is teacup rides & the one on the right is the ferris wheel(or Ferris as it's called for limitations)

I'm going to make at least two other posts for this cause there's too many images involved. I saved a lot of images for this cause I wanted to show visuals. Posts have image limits which I forgot how many it was & pretty sure I'm close to the limit.

Piper observed the various patrons around the lounge- some alone, some huddled together in small lively clusters. As she drank she caught a glimpse of brown hair making his hasty way towards the exit, phone pressed against his ear. As she craned her neck to get a better view she couldn’t help but notice an odd sense of familiarity.

She couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was, maybe the slope of the shoulders or the sway his gait but something about him reminded her almost of…

No way.

maybe art can't stop the wars, but it helps humans not to be reduced to the hostile xenophobic elements of a mob. so we have a few pieces, adding these via rb. not many, since we started to listen to ST only two months ago. all in chronological order.

- first ever drawing of them. vessels ii & ii, Sleep. inspired with Ascensionism

the rest is below the cut, because all the links will look like this unless we desktop edit them we guess. mostly art.

first attempt to make our image of Sleep

Sleep and vessel i, inspired with a line from Atlantic

a study of teatime (vessel i, Sleep, biscuits)

fairy tale related sketches (vessels i, ii, Sleep)

a study of typical Sleep vs vessel i

vessel i & our rendition of Sleep, a big painting

vessels i & ii, markers on paper

and doll customising. made our own tiny image of Sleep, based on MH Gen1 Ghouls Getaway Jane Boolittle. and, yes, she's an adorable little horror even without the wings and scythe (yet)

with oscar's help, the castle didn't turn out so bad!

[1truth2way3life-blog]

I firmly believe in God who is much more greater than the galaxy, the moon, and the stars. The first solar eclipse occurring since 1979, is attracting a lot of people. Among those gathering, will they be aware of its creator? Have we not come across to the thought “Who is in control of all these galaxies, moon, stars, and the solar system?” Compared to the interests and attention that they have towards this historical event,  how much are they serious towards the truth who is behind of this all? Aren’t we putting our life risks on the human scientists for the explanation of today’s nature beauty? 

While we are astonished, and excited about the nature, I want to conclude that our life is more valuable than the nature. (Every living thing is valuable. What cannot be valuable when it is done by the hands of God?). The reason is that God had created us all in his image and his creatures such as the galaxy, moon, stars, trees, sun, ocean, and the animals were created all for us as the gift. (Gen 1:27). I am thankful that we are able to cherish every moment of these creatures.

[jaybug-jabbers]

And so the all-bug run of gen 1 finally comes to an end!

Of the Elite Four, it was actually Lorelei that was toughest for my team to face. Especially Lorelei’s Lapras with Blizzard. Not sure why I kept putting my Flying and Grass types out against her Lapras. XD But yeah, her pokes have bulk, dude, and took a while to mow down. Pinsir’s fighting moves helped.

Bruno was of course the easiest, as he always is– besides, I have a team with strong Psychic moves and Parasect has Solar Beam.

Agatha wasn’t as annoying as she usually is. My two pokes with Psychic (Butterfree and Venomoth) took care of things easily enough. It helps that in Gen 1, Poison is weak to Bug type moves as well.

Lance was easy as well. As you may already know, the AI for some trainer classes (such as the Elite Four) is a bit stupid sometimes, and will spam “super-effective” moves even if they’re status moves. So if I have a Venomoth out against a Dragonite, it will spam Agility or Barrier because they’re classed as Psychic type moves, and Venomoth is part Poison type. Aerodactyl and  Gyarados were the trickiest, but I didn’t have too much difficulty with them. (Aerodactyl just spammed Bite and Supersonic, going for scummy tactics of flinch confusion, I guess, lol)

The Champion fight was admittedly tough! I let Tik Tok take out Pidgeot with a couple Double-Edges, but then unfortunately he was too weak to finish off Alakazam on his own. Fortunately, Hunter’s Slash critted and went through the Reflect that was up. Rhydon was easy prey to Parasect’s Solar Beam, but I had a little trouble with Gyarados’ Hyper Beam. Largely because when he KO’d a poke and I brought in somebody new, he didn’t have to recharge! I cursed Gen 1 for that little quirk. With Arcanine, I tried the old tox-stall with Janeway, who has Substitute (I paid a pretty penny to get it. that TM is a very expensive Game Corner prize in this gen), but I couldn’t stall quite long enough with Venomoth and Butterfree and had to finish it with Hunter. Finally, there was Venusaur vs. my Beedrill. Fortunately, despite Beedrill’s not super-great stats, this was a good matchup. I got up a Swords Dance (while Venusaur got up a Growth) and then took him out with the awesome Twineedle (the strongest bug-type move in gen 1, which helps make up for Beedrill’s low stats).

All in all, not bad for a team of gen1 bugs that are around ten levels lower than the teams being faced. Had a really fun time!

This is a repost on a new blog. The original post was on Mar 1, 2017.

[oswednesday]

miss oleana! the plot rehaul for her is obvi making it look like shes connected or the real Big Bad, like oh she writes all his speeches and is like on your ass all the time and hes just a himbo figure head, when you beat early low level grunts theyll be like dont tell the boss i lost, she'd be soo mad! with midtiers ones being like please dont tell miss o-----!!! and high tier ones actually name dropping like miss oleana wont like this

(ability: contrary, moves:wring out, giga drain, dragon tail, leaf storm)

(dude the canon lore for her is wild shes the vice president AND the invented of the bands?? i guess she is in a lab coat, i think it be kind of suspicious to have  secretary also be a vice president so im going to drop that aspect of it? or maybe not, i mean, im also softening his overt tises to it, so maybe she can be straight up the president of macro cosmos with his intention for her to take the fall as Just the hapless owner, shes like the league secretary,ill decide fully for that later i do like her at the forefront of the science end tho thats fun! )

(ability: queenly majesty, moves: fell stinger, defend order, heal order, attack order)

(her actual pkmn theme is bugs!)

(ability: shell armor, moves: twineedle, quick guard, x-scissor, megahorn)

(her pkmn kind of tell the story of Her)

(i want to treat the standard form as the shiny! its like rose aesthetic)

(ability: telepathy (with an including avoiding physical attacks in single, real niche use abilities are so -_- sometimes and this makes the ability feel more formidable but gets weaker when theres More minds like more mental chatter?) moves: magic coat, infestation, protect, future sight)

(she dynamaxs this! and uses g-max gravitas of course)

(in this nuzlocke rose has her take the whole blame for like the leon thing and fires her rather public like, so shes devastated enough to help you later)

(ability: aftermath, moves: strange steam, toxic spikes, toxic, self-destruct)

(but cause shes fired like that, she isnt arrested when everything gets Known and she’s all like,,,wow,,,he saved me,,,,,)

(ability: corrosion, cross poison, gunk shot, belch, explosion)

(incidently she makes this one big as well and uses g max malodor and I CANOT BELEVIE HOW SMALL THEY MADE ITS MODEL FFDGDFDF??? like fast ignoring that, her double use completely drains the power of the tower)

(the air terrain is high altitude! fire attacks do less damage, ice attacks are boost, flying type pkmn have their speed increased while ground will have their speed decreased, or something like that!)

-----

battle 2 

(im imagining some kinda Post Game plot where you can challenge her again, but its like, chill, with an updated outfit so its more obvi shes wearing a labcoat and her colorscheme is like blue and green! maybe there’s a good ending where she works with prof magnolia and maybe opal as prof poplar as a consultant and where hop interns? finding a non-dooms day event solution to the energy problem? maybe figure away to use pkmn energy in a way thats not like super fucked up, perhaps?)

(ability: tinted lens, moves: whirl wind, poison powder, hurricane, draining kiss)

(i almost want to give it rage powder cause thats what her role is in the game a bit, if i do ill swap out draining kiss and have you fight a double with prof in training hop?)

(anyway im imaging it like, lets test out this renewable clean energy and she supersizes her butterfree!)

(ability: telepathy, moves: helping hand, ally switch,after you, reflect)

(see! shes nice now! also this pkmn is kinda build for co-op ally helping which is interesting for a mad scientist themed bug?)

(ability: battery, moves: sticky web, vise grip, charge, wild charge)

(this battle is probs taking place outside somewhere? its just as likely to think that prof m has a testing field in her labs basement or smthing)

or

(ability: contrary, moves (standard); petal blizzard, lazer focus, dual chop, leaf blade)

(moves (shiny): aromatherapy, solar blade, defog, safeguard)

(ooo sinister implications! i have an idea in Mind to give it branching endings with like interactivity? this sharing stuff im doing rn might be oversharing)

(type: fighting/bug)

(them not being bug without any like lore about them pretending to be a bug in while makes this feel like You Know Of Mario? What If!! Poke mon! and i hate that)

(ability: friend guard, moves(shiny): first impressions, heal order, no retreat, megahorn)

(ability: mold breaker, moves (standard): first impressions, attack order, no retreat, megahorn)

(this is kinda difficult cause most of her in game personality is wrapped up in working for rose, so i hope this gets across’d that shes her own person, but fell into stuff)

(if the last two were shiny an abra will be here)

(ability: unburden, moves: protect, light screen, trick room,embargo)

(if the last two were standard itll be a kadabra)

(ability: neuroforce, moves: miracle eye, psycho shift, telekinesis, future sight)

(i always felt they were like fckd up insects with the mammially stuff meant to look like withered skeletal flesh guts caccon rather than anything 1:1 animal like alakazam lacks a tail cause these two spent two gens removing them from their body, gen1 had like monster design coherency that newer gens sometimes lack and the coherency was All about those ears)

(i tried not to grab anything from mythos/plot pkmn from other gens but that kinda drives the altering pkmn for gains?)

[bulbasaur-propaganda]

Bulbasaur and Gundam X are twins from different worlds

This might sound crazy but it’s really interesting.

Bulbasaur is a creature in Pokemon and Gundam X is a mecha robot from a series of the same name.

1- Similar users

Ash Ketchum and Garrod Ran are incredibly alike.

Both are naive, happy-go-lucky, cheerful, friendly, food maniacs, and don’t go serious unless the situation goes bad.

Despite that, both value their friends as top priority, always ready to put their life in danger for their friends.  

2- Solar Beam and Satellite Cannon

Bulbasaur and Gundam X both carry super powerful beams launchers on their back.

And both weapons also require charging before shooting. 

Solar Beam was described as the “Grass-type strongest move” as it was able to make large explosion with high damage on contact, and Satellite Cannon was also desribed as the strongest weapon in the whole show, which was strong enough to destroy space colonies and vaporize large islands in one shot.

3 - Warrior of Sun and Warrior of Moon

Bulbasaur, being a grass type has a Sun thematics going on. 

Bulbasaur becomes more powerful under the sun, its Chlorophyll ability gets activated, its speed doubles and it gets infinite energy to the point it doesn’t need to eat food to live.

While Gundam X requires the Moon to activate its signature power, Satellite Canon. In Space, under the help of the Moon Sattelite, Gundam X can get extra power from a bot army, all equipped with Satellite Cannons.

As you see, both are the same yet opposite of each other.

4- Sunny Day and Mini-Satellite

Being restricted to Sun and Moon proved to be unreliable for both weapons as they need charging before being usable.

Pokemon Gold and Silver introduced Sunny Day to summon the Sun weather to eliminate the charging from Solar Beam, while Gundam X Under The Moonlight introduced the mini satellite to allow Gundam X to shoot its Satellite Cannon during anytime of the day.

Both Gold/Silver and UTML are the direct sequels of both characters’ debut entries.

5- Both gets bulkier as they get “upgraded”

Bulbsaur evolves twice, as Ivysaur and lastly as Venusaur.

Similarly, Gundam X gets upgraded into GX-Divider and lastly as Double X.

Ivysaur was more stronger, more agile, faster than Bulbasaur but lost the ability to stand. While, GX-Divider was also faster and more agile and also lost an ability with that upgrade.

Venusaur and Double X were both “fatter”, bulkier behemoths and carry twice as much power as their predessors.

Much later in the series, Venusaur gets Mega Evolution which raises its offensive and defensive power to high degrees, which also only possible with Mega Stone, while Gundam Double X gets G-Falcon to raise its power and speed.

Mega Venusaur loses two of its weaknesses, while G-Falcon allows Double X to safely enter Earth without getting crisped to ashes.

Both weren’t progressive upgrades, as Mega Stones and G-Falcon are seperate upgrade tools used on the users.

6- Both lived through bad times

Gundam X is infamous for being the only show that was canceled for low ratings, though mainly for poor timeslots. It was unpopular In Japan enought to doom its run. It didn’t see its last of planned 10 episodes.

Meanwhile, the other Gundam shows (G Gundam and Wing) which preceded Gundam X saw much larger success.

Similarly, Bulbasaur is famous for being “The least popular starter of Gen1″.

Both were labeled as the “The Black Sheep” of their series and both.

7- Don’t live up to their bad reputation

Despite both characters being not much popular with the fandom of both series with many wrong thoughts regarding them, both characters are incredibly powerful in the games for their reputation.

Double X is constantly ranked among the best in Gundam VS. series, a competitive battle arena series.

While Venusaur is known to be the most consistent and competitively viable of the starters, being highly ranked and more viable than its more popular competitors Charizard and Blastoise through the series.

8- Stuck in Japan

Gundam X’s low popularity prevented it from going overseas while almost every  Gundam show got a US release shortly after their Japanese airing. which made Gundam X the only Gundam X to never been officially translated or dubbed for the U.S TV or market until 2016.

Pokemon Green faced the same fate, as it still the only Pokemon game to never recieve an English release to this day. Green however got a remake in 2004, the same year Gundam X’s sequel was released.

9- Bad Marketing

It’s also interested that both fandoms agree that Gundam X and Bulbasaur came at the wrong time. Gundam X was heavily overshadowed by Evangelion and Gundam Wing, while Bulbasaur was heavily overshadowed by Charmander and Squirtle, but most of that were because of marketing issues.

Gundam X had modest TV ratings until they decided to change the airing timeslot to 6AM, which made it viewed by few people at that time, losing interest from the public.

While Bulbasuar didn’t get its game marketed everywhere as it was Red and Blue that everyone outside Japan, being far less exposored to the public in comparison to the other two starters.

Neither enjoyed a good mainstream run.

10- Underground love

While both are being considered as marketing failure in their comapnies eyes, Bulbasaur and Gundam X are regarded very highly by many fans.

Many people consider Gundam X to be very underrated and even one of the best in the series (I do too).

While it’s the same for Venusaur line.

Sadly neither convinced the companies that these two are really loved, as both Nintendo/TPC and Bandai most of the time don’t feature them in most of their animated works or merchandise, sometimes they don’t appear at all.

11- Spiritually Twins

Coincidently, both Bulbasaur Green and Gundam X made their public debut in the same year in Japan... 1996.

They function the same, they lived the same, they had similar fate and development, and they were both born in the same year.

Bulbasaur! It’s definitely my favorite gen1 starter. More than either of the other two it’s a little monster, not really based on a specific animal. Its spots add a lot of charisma, and I love its powers - Leech Seed, while kinda disturbing in concept, is pretty fun for me in game, as it adds passive damage and regeneration, that can be useful even for other team members. Solar beam feels like an anime-like special move, and its vines are pretty cool.

One thing that I think its design kinda lacks is a certain flow - it kinda makes it hard do draw bulbasaurs in interesting, dynamic poses. It also feels like the bulb is just on top of it and that the vines come from nowhere. The early colors - like the blue skin here - also are much nicer than the later green. I guess they changed to adhere to a more strict connection between color and typing, specially in starters. I’m all for clarity, but I think a lot of starters designs became more boring because of it.

One really cool thing about bulbasaur that I often forget is it being part poison, but that’s also something that I really dig - allowing for an additional damage per turn. It’s also interesting to think of them as poisonous creatures.

Not much to say about the evolutions - The flower blooming was a cool idea, the ears being more defined contributed to it not really being any known animal. It’s cool that you can see the stalk of the flower on Ivysaur in this early art, you often can’t.

I fint it interesting how in early sprites it looks like they are kinda getting squashed by the plants, though that may not have been intentional.

...and then there’s this venusaur sprite, restored by @louminosus. It’s definitely something interesting. But I like what we ended up with.
