very original 2025 shiny hunting bingo card here; will update progress as year goes on
(all of these will be switch games because i can't justify picking up a DS while i have dissertation stuff)
i wanted a mix of legendaries, non-legendaries, and specific marks that i really want

something that is heartening to me, as a gen AI hater, is how many normie ass streamers on twitch hate gen AI and are trying to fix their ads to stop showing them

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

i don't really get the "value" argument of shiny hunting (as in, there is an objective measure of value) and i think some of you need to eat a vegetable or breathe air that isn't in your house

i think one of the funniest things pokemon could do here is if they were to ever give this an evolution, give it the benjamin buttons effect where each subsequent evolution makes it younger looking
I love Mega Drampa. The radiation from Mega Evolution is said to revert its age, so the way its fur blackens isn't just "Cloud Nine" clouds frenzying into a storm, but also the white hair regaining its colour. Likewise, its movements become faster and more animated (y'know, less geriatric).

personally i think it's understandable for video games to be expensive but if they're expensive they need to be good and the people who make them need to get paid and treated well

i very much like legends z-a and i think it is very fun which is the highest praise you can give a game.
having said that: i do think when this game gets tedious and compared to PLA, man, do you feel how much of a grind it is

generally speaking, and i am saying this as someone who researches these: a lot of research around policies that give people money tends to support that you get a really hefty return on investment and reduction of reliance on state safety net programs
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
