My Glitched Jolteon
Part reminiscence, part game mechanics deep dive, about a harmlessly strange Jolteon deleted in 2003 and the effort to uncover what was going on with him two decades later.

I wrote a new article about the glitched Jolteon that I had on my Yellow version, two decades ago, and how I replicated and got to the bottom of it: www.dragonflycave.com/kanto/my-gli...

Thinking about "the Pokemon discourse" again and how the idea that "Pokemon makes a lot of money so it needs to be more AAA" remains an indescribably dumb idea.

TCoD still has a Twitter account, but it’s become very noticeable that basically all the engagement is over here now. Increasingly tempted to just finally ditch Twitter, given all the everything.

Charizard is my favorite Pokémon since my first game, Yellow. On that game, I was training my team to level 100 when, at level 96 or so, my cousin restarted the game and saved. Charizard never made it to the finish line.

Successfully completed all main missions, side missions, and the Pokédex in Legends: Z-A. Maternity leave is good for playing video games, it turns out. (But also, they just did a good job with this game and making it stay engaging to play.)

Absolutely dying at the Pokémon Legends: Z-A kid at the school who asserts she can recite every name she's ever heard and it'll take six minutes, and if you still maintain you want to hear it it just plays the game's credits

Pokémon Legends: Z-A NPC dialogue is sometimes oddly deep and sometimes absolutely unhinged and I love it for it.

My favorite thing about Z-A so far is the return of our Pokémon helping us get around in the world. That's what I always missed a little about HMs, much as I understand how they used to frustrate people.

So far, Z-A has contained a Scyther and a Charizard. I approve

I've put up another little Morphic extra, another set of three hurt/comfort-themed prompt bingo fills. As the theming suggests, they're all very angsty.
