How Could You Leave Out The T-posing Treecko

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

new shiny concept for Meowscarada bc i've been experimenting lately and it's my fav Paldea starter

i don't really have anything against its original shiny though

wanted to have something to show for myself with the ability forms trend

loving all the cool art in it, wanted to submit something silly cuz i like those ones, remembered i can't draw, then remembered i can sorta edit

(hey can ya guess which one i thought of first and which one took me like two hours)

mf showed up and nearly froze my hands thru 30+ Ultra Balls before getting crit captured with a regular Poké Ball

my child now, who just has a few little diseases

special thanks to that one redditor who i commented on and probably got jinxed (in a good way) bc of -- and to the people seeing me outside and keeping their "wow that dude looks stupid af" comments to themselves

got a ban from random raids after bailing on a Tera Psychic Golem-Kanto where the other people were Koraidon and 2 Iron Hands

it only lasted for like 4 minutes, was able to go again after a Galar Slowbro raid but my god are people seriously still so high on Week 1 strats

crazy how after all this time S/V players are still way too dense to pick good pokemon for raids because why are so many people bringing shit like Typhlosion and Charizard and ESPECIALLY KORAIDON to Iron Leaves raids

HOW MANY TIMES DO Y’ALL NEED TO BE TOLD NOT TO IGNORE THE TERA TYPE WHEN PICKING YOUR POKEMON GOD

[TADC Ep.3 Spoilers!!]

○ dementia dad Kinger lfg

○ Jax & Caine continuing to carry this show's humor on their backs

○ what was up with that... void mouth, anyway? was it like...hypnotic? or was that just Kinger being Kinger?

○ on the topic, put that fucking head monster back where it came from or so help me god

real. making a creature collector -- one that is actually quite similar to Pokémon -- in Turbowarp of all engines, and while the merits of an innate understanding of what i'm working with is nice, i have no idea how i'm going to make the collection aspect work with that local storage extensions; at bare minimum one creature has six individual parameters to decode and pack into the boxes on boot. rinse and repeat 30 times, and repeat that for however many storage boxes end up allowed and just... ough

a lot of what stifles me with web game dev is the urge to keep the save files small. i keep it very conservative to make sure the player doesn't bump into browser storage issues and i also like that you can just copypaste your save anywhere as a plain text string! however if i want to do anything complex then that becomes the bottleneck. at some point i'll get back into Godot and make the most gratuitously intricate simulation game i can come up with. parasitizing people's hard drives to incubate enormous procedural map files

But first they must catch you 🏳️‍⚧️

some things of note, about an hour in with just over 1000 lions gone:

○ Regirock and Spiritomb have both been placed in Superhell for their crimes (boosting with Curse incredibly quickly and becoming nigh untouchable, taking over 300 lions each, will have to figure out crits in a future update)

○ touching on the mechanics side of things;

• both Pokémon and Lions are at Lv.50 with no EVs and 15 IVs

• all Pokémon have the 4 moves they would know if found in the wild at L50, as accurate to their data in SV (all of em have movesets there lmao) -- the Lions are rolling with Double-Edge, Slash, Crunch & Rest

• speaking of Lions, they're typeless creatures with 93HP, 101Atk, 78Def, 98Sp.Atk, 73Sp.Def and 92Speed, but still get STAB on Normal moves because, in the words of one Hobie Brown, "I don't believe in consistency"

• this isn't conclusive yet, as while mons can boost their stats they can't drop theirs or their opponents, lions may need a moveset tweak so i won't have to murder Regirock, Spiritomb and any other smug Curse boosters, and quite a number of actually possibly good moves (CounterCoat, Transform, Super Fang & co, etc.) don't work yet

i'm gonna let the sim run while i sleep, feel free to ask questions if you actually find this

and if one more little bitch starts Curse steamrolling so help me Arceus i will

how can you tell i've gone insane? by the fact that i'm currently trying to measure 1B Lions v. Pokémon in 1v1 autobattles
