TEAM CANNONBALL UNDEFEATED FOREVER AND EVER AMEN

...what

[goldensunset]

personally i headcanon that hero and partner post-graduation are absolute gremlins with the most atrocious sleep schedule and general daily habits. in wigglytuff’s guild they were on that military bootcamp grind. getting woken up by loudred at the crack of dawn, reporting in to their supervisor, being given a task, struggling hardcore, coming home to a well-earned meal and instantly conking out. but now that they don’t have that kinda structure in their lives they fall apart so fast

now they sleep in til 11am, casually stroll into whatever nightmarish dungeon even team raider is afraid to enter, still yawning as they punch down every enemy in their path like it’s nothing, then they come home at like 5pm ready for a nap. pass out for a few hours. wake up at dusk completely disoriented. watch what’s left of the sunset. roll into treasure town for a snack run and possibly raid leftovers from dinner at the guild. return to sharpedo bluff and stay up all night playing video games or whatever the pokémon world’s equivalent of sleepover activities are. go to bed at an ungodly hour. repeat. they’re still somehow making the fastest strides towards master rank anyone has ever seen

What it is about Explorers that makes people ascribe hyper-competence to its postgame protagonists? I feel like I'm not imagining it, when I single that game out in particular.

Maybe it's just a matter of having a postgame that's both extensive and accessible. It takes forever to reach the highest levels of Rescue Team, and there's not a lot to do in GTI, and I guess maybe Super just shoots itself in the foot by calling your protagonists preschoolers. Sky in particular really gives you the room to flex how strong your heroes have grown, where the other games would slow down.

If I ever become wildly successful for something that I make, no matter what, make me keep my promise to shut the fuck up and live like a monk. Like a ghost in the wind. No interaction. Make Toby Fox look like he's too chatty.

Aw yeah, having trouble sleeping? I have a special bit of medicine you can take (takes out a single section of two Benadryl pills with one already missing, marked "for emergencies only")
