I pet Gunner. Gunner is a very honourable Skarmory. He likes to take part in the nightly ZA Royale, showing his opponents the utmost respect even when defeating them. #PokemonLegendsZA

I pet Zygarde. Zygarde is the first legendary Pokemon I have ever pet, both an exciting and terrifying moment. Zygarde being here means Lumiose is unbalanced and they must bring order back to Kalos. I hope I get to see Zygarde again, maybe even in a more complete form. #PokemonLegendsZA

I got robbed today

A digital comic.
Panel 1: a Psyduck with a water bottle, the text reads “I take a water bottle to work, keeping it behind the bar”
Panel 2: Psyduck is steaming milk, the text reads “Today I was making drinks for a few hours”
Panel 3: Psyduck reaches for his bottle, it’s gone. The text reads “When I went back to get a drink, my bottle was gone!”
Panel 4: Psyduck turns to ask “Hey, have you seen my water bottle?”
Panel 5: a Nuzleaf answers “Yeah, I gave it to some guy”
Panel 6: Psyduck and Nuzleaf in coversation. Psyduck says “…you gave my bottle away?” Nuzleaf answers “yeah!” Psyduck asks “Why?”
Panel 7: Nuzleaf ponders, saying “He was really convincing”. A thought bubble shows Nuzleaf talking to a Scrafty. Scrafty says “I left my bottle here, that’s it there!” Pointing to the bottle behind Nuzleaf. Nuzleaf answers “Are you sure? I think that’s my colleague’s.” Scrafty replies “no, it’s 100% mine!” Nuzleaf says “ok!”
Panel 8: Psyduck looks in disbelief.

Interesting to see my playtime over the years. I really thought more Pokemon games would join Shield up there, especially as X was the first game I fully completed a Pokedex in.

I don't think I'm gonna make a video about my playthrough of ZA. I recorded hours of footage but I don't feel like I have anything really interesting or new to say about the game.
Maybe in the future but for now I'm just gonna sit on the footage.

I planned to hunt a Shiny Alpha Bulbasaur once I finished ZA and make a video about it but it kinda unceremoniously showed up as I was filling the dex.
I guess I can always hunt for another one.

Shiny Marowak showed up in Sleep the other day. I think I messed up the last count so I don’t know how many Pokémon I’ve studied since the last shiny. I do know it’s been 5448 Pokemon studied overall however.

With Lumiose City being pretty open, I don’t really have a plan for the order in which I draw the Pokemon.
So if anyone has any Pokemon they’d like to see me pet from ZA, I might have an NPC screenshot for that Pokemon. Give me your suggestions.

I pet Apollo. Apollo is a Helioptile who has just made the journey to Lumiose City. After years away, it’s good to be back home in Kalos and greeted with such enthusiastic Pokemon. I can’t wait to see what Lumiose holds for me now.
