Hey did anyone else feel the framerate go up?

Hello, there!

I see you haven’t posted in a while. You alright?

Hi! Thanks for checking in. I guess I did fall off on here, sorry about that. It was winter break for all the Paldea schools, so I got a bunch of new challengers, and then I had a big charity stream to prep for. Speaking of, you can still donate here to support building new bridges in Hoenn!

Also some kid called me and asked me to come visit this underwater school in Unova, and I kinda sorta said yes. But I'm back now, and streams should be picking up again soon!

I’d like to apologize for this post. I have been informed by some of my Kitakamian followers that it was insensitive given recent events in that region. I promise to listen and learn from this.

I'm seeing some stuff on my dash about a Kitakami festival and masks? Is there some new pokerus strain going around?

AITA for trying to steal a kid's pet? WIBTIA for continuing?

That sounds way worse than it is. Please let me explain before judging.

Me (25M*) and my partner (25F*) (we'll call her J) are avid exotic animal collectors (we work for an underground organization). We're usually incredible at catching exotic animals (again, for our work—usually we only keep ones we can handle/we like, and we don't keep too many at a time. Our only consistent companion is a very chatty cat). We're also both incredibly intelligent. So I just can't understand why we can't get this one kid's pet.

The kid (10M), who we'll call A. Ais out on his own and constantly traveling. I couldn't tell you why. Usually he has older kids, what I can only assume are his babysitters. They change every time he travels. I don't know how he gets friends so easily. I'm not especially interested in any of their animals—none are quite as interesting or strong as A's pet. So we only really go after his.

After about fifteen years of doing this to this ten year old kid and successfully capturing his pet exactly ZERO times, J and I are kind of attached to both of them. I know she is, because I know how she gets when she cares about someone.

I think catching A's pet, at this point, is kind of more just a way to stay around him for J and I. Of course we want to succeed and move up at work, and of course we're frustrated by not capturing him for more than like, a week. Ever. But this ten year old has come a long way in the past twenty years.

Recently A has gone on to make a major life achievement award—again, at ten—and I'm just wondering. Are J and I in the wrong for trying to take A's pet? I mean, J insists he's kind of a twerp. If not, would we be in the wrong for keeping it up?

AITA?

hello, miss. Do you have a minute to talk about our Lord and savior Lord Helix?

I’m not that religious tbh, but tell me more!

Bored by the writers' strike? My gym's still open. AND we're already unionized!

Elesa: Skyla, can I ask you a favor?

Skyla: Sure, what’s up?

Elesa: You know about the upcoming all-Trainers charity baseball game, right? Well, I’ve put together a team for it - mostly fellow Electric-type experts, though we’ve got a couple of all-rounders, too - and I was hoping you could help me iron out some winning strategies.

Skyla: Well, I don’t know too much about baseball, but I’ll do my best! So, who’s playing each position?

Elesa: Let’s see… Hugh’s on first, Wattson second, and Iono’s on third-

Skyla: Yeah, I’m outta here.

I’m pretty sure alpha Pokémon are just some shit Sinnohians made up to make their ancient history look and sound cooler and those bastards were just big Pokémon

[ionocast]

Those Sinnoh guys. I hear they eat poke balls and think that Arceus is on that easily climbable mountain they have.

Hey Iono. what's your opinion on the 8th gym leader of Galar, Raihan? He's also a very famous person when it comes to social media especially selfies.

Well, I've only met him a couple of times, but he seems nice.

I wouldn't suggest exclusively posting selfies to anyone. You've gotta get some cute Pokemon pics in there. But if it works for Raihan good for him.
