playing my character as an anarchist who sees the value in cooperation, education, and community defense.

this might make me feel things later regarding plot details I don't know about and haven't been spoiled on, but right now it just makes all the sidequests feel good.

okay it is *hilarious* to kite a half-dozen shinx in a circle and dodge all their attacks

me: ow fuck my head where the fuck am I and why is there sand in my asscrack

the professor: who the fuck are you

me: holy fuck what the fuck are those things with you

the professor: oh these are pokemon they're very dangero-

me: *cyndaquil already on my head, an entire pack of wild shinx in my arms* HAVE YOU SEEN HOW CUTE THESE LITTLE FUCKERS ARE I WANNA LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM HERE HOLD THESE WHILE I CATCH MORE

literally everyone else: what the FUCK

you do not know fear until you hear your first alpha kricketune before you see it

quilava: cute

sleeping quilava: cuter

(you can bring your pokemon out for non-combat interactions, like harvesting resources or simple social time. and for that last one, there's a chance they'll be asleep when they're brought out.)

@LexYeen i am choosing to take this as a personal compliment 💚

@Felthry First time I've gone with a fire-type starter since original Red and I don't regret it a bit. Mechanically solid, and the animators clearly enjoyed their job too.

@LexYeen the cyndaquil line is Very Good
