I beat Mount Battle four times

And all I got was this lousy Ho-Oh

[dontaskmeaboutmountbattle]

I am the world's biggest Pokémon Colosseum nerd, and I will nerd out on you.

My current obsessions are: Rockstar's Bully, Pokémon, lava lamps, Digimon vpets, and Yu-Gi-Oh.

Mainly just vibing here.

Lately I've been having trouble drawing but today I tried

Mandy x Johnny doodles ^_^

I'm never going to shut up about Jandy because that's all I can do, I am COMPLETELY TALENTLESS, so I'm just going to keep talking about it and hope that manifests content

I just remembered that the first fanfic I ever wrote was about them. The fanfic got lost and I don't even remember the plot (wow, it's been over ten years haha). I only remember them and writing it.

Ok so in a Bully Pokémon AU, instead of paper routes or lawn mowing, there would be daily tournaments including a tag tournament where you can choose anyone from a clique to be your partner as long as that clique likes you

Maybe there would be events for each character if you battle with them enough or instead of choosing anyone from a friendly clique you have to build a friendship first before being able to tag with them

Idk I've just had this idea rattling around in my head for a while

Everytime a Nintendo direct drops, I have to dig through the search results to find the official one on YT and every time I end up spotting those obnoxious smarmy think pieces or angrytubing about "SLOP".

Like no joke, I never see those "everything about this game company is SLOP and YOU'RE the PIG" or "GREEDY COMPANY BAD" videos about any other game company. Valve raised Steam Deck prices and I've heard none of the vitriol that Nintendo got, the PS5 is like 1000$ and all I hear on that is crickets. What makes it worse is that big YouTubers will shit on Nintendo for various reasons and their fanbase will just copy their opinions without forming their own.

If anyone wonders why Nintendo fans are so defensive, it's because they're always the butt of the joke and the gaming community goes out of its way to shit on them. A lot of Nintendo fans are bullied just for liking Nintendo games and I'm speaking from personal experience because it's happened before.

Look back to when the Mario Galaxy movie came out and got bad reviews, how many douchebags took that as an excuse to go to comment sections and attack people who enjoyed it under the guise of fighting an evil slop company? The worst part is when they treat it like a damn political party, calling people bootlickers for liking Nintendo games and insisting that they're the arbiter of taste and quality.

There's a reason why Nintendo fans have to hide being Nintendo fans, there's always some self-righteous twat barging in and throwing insults apropos of nothing.

Crawling out of my pit to say JANDY is the best ship

That is all

[dontaskmeaboutmountbattle]

I know it isn't canon, but Obelisk Chazz and his story in Tag Force 3 is just really gross and I don't like it

He acts really sleazy towards Alexis at one point and while I don't like Alexis, she doesn't deserve that, even if it was a little cathartic to have him finally be done with her.

And at the end of it all, Jaden and everyone else is pissed off at the MC for teaming with Chazz throughout all of this, straight up saying "we thought you were different" after the final duel where if Chazz wins all the slifer and ra students get kicked out.

My headcanon is that entire story was a bad dream and Chazz didn't actually say or do that stuff, Idc if the "it's just a dream" shit is just a copout. Chazz is a massive nerd with a big heart and I refuse to acknowledge him as a villain, he would NEVER do that even in a non canon capacity.

Honestly Evil Chazz is on some Web of Shadows or Shadow the Hedgehog bad end type shit

[dontaskmeaboutmountbattle]

Call me basic for shipping Johnny/Mandy, but I honestly don't get the appeal of Gary/Pete.

Pete is the only sane person at Bullworth and Gary is a complete lunatic, I get opposites attract but Gary HATES Pete and everyone else. Imagining Gary loving anyone but himself is like imagining Cartman as a decent human being, literally impossible.

I haven't read much of the GSC arc of the manga, but Gold you are everything I imagine you to be just by looking at your design

I really like how he uses a pool cue to ricochet his PokeBalls off of stuff and he uses an Aipom? And he uses Sunkern unironically? Dude's got heart, idc if Red will tear his team apart when they inevitably battle

[dontaskmeaboutmountbattle]

Going off my previous headcanon post about Wes, Michael doesn't keep every shadow pokémon with him after purification(and I don't mean he keeps them in the purification chamber even though the music there slaps)

Instead Michael chooses to let them stay at the Pokémon HQ lab. The larger and scarier Pokémon are cared for by the lab's staff and Jovi gets to play with the smaller and more friendly ones.

Does anyone else hate when people point out fantastical things in games and how "yOu CaN't Do ThAt In ReAl LiFe!" ?

Like no shit, the genre is FANTASY. Of course Mario can jump like 20 feet in the air, it's a damn cartoon. Of course the Pokémon universe gets saved by 10 year olds, it's a self-insert fantasy and you're supposed to use your imagination.

Fiction is allowed to be stupid and nonsensical, that's the point.

[dontaskmeaboutmountbattle]

If you're a Pokémon fan, remember to take breaks and I'm not talking about the games. The Pokémon fanbase is a cesspool sometimes and the exaggerated misery that gets amplified is tiring (remember the meltdowns over 20$ ports? Meanwhile secondhand game stores scalp any Pokémon item for upwards of 500 bucks).

Sometimes it's good to just ignore it all and focus on something else, or just enjoy something. Legends ZA isn't a perfect game, but it was a lot better playing it for myself as opposed to going in with a negative opinion based on what others have said.

No, it wasn't "litcherally unplayable bad", it was just ok and that's fine.

It makes sense why a lot of Pokémon fans are casuals or don't involve themselves in the wider community, some people get way too wound up about things and forget what it's like to be a fan. If everything about Pokémon sucks and it was never good, why subject yourself to it? You're voluntarily consuming content you hate just to get upset and take it out on others.

People forget that they're the ones who decide what content to engage with, they forget that they can only engage with stuff they like and disregard everything else.

My personal headcanon about Wes snagging every shadow pokémon is that he gives them all nicknames and eventually nabs himself a portable PC box, so he can keep all of them with him.

Wes feels responsible for everything since he was the one who caught all the Pokémon for Team Snagem. The only thing he was told was that the Pokémon he'd caught were being used for research, and then he found out what was actually happening in the Cipher lab to make shadow pokémon.

To Wes, keeping the purified Pokémon wasn't just about getting strong partners, it was about righting his wrongs and making it up to each and every one of them for having to go through being corrupted.

I don't remember exactly whether or not Colosseum explicitly says that all the shadow pokémon were stolen from trainers, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

The "friendship" between Chazz and Atticus comes across as a popular guy taking an unpopular weirdo under his wing as a joke to humiliate him, and y'all aren't ready for that conversation.

[dontaskmeaboutmountbattle]

Shipping Jandy in the bully community is like begging for water in the desert.

Occasionally somebody grants you some water (in this case, art and other such content) but most of the time you're waiting and starving for it.

Just what the hell was Nascour's deal? He has no battle music, he looks like a Sephiroth wannabe and they literally never elaborate.

Like why are his eyes red? Like his whole eyes are red not just the pupils, how the hell can he see anything? Bro thinks he's Godot

And that outfit? I can't even tell what the fuck he's wearing, it looks like some sort of flower costume

Nascour is truly one of the Pokémon characters of all time.
