I genuinely was about to run into town and get food and then come back home in 10 seconds but then I realized that I can't do that anymore and now I'm extremely very upset -Barry⚡

Hey, Barry here. Could I maybe get some positivity? I know I'm mostly a joke character but I went through a lot of shit and I was part of the family. Lately it just feels like nobody wants to accept that I existed as anything more than a plot point.

Hey Barry! I’m so sorry that it feels that way for you, but as someone from the IPRE, I can say that you were very much so important! I’m damn sure that we couldn’t have gone as far as we did without you. You, our scientist! Our friend! Our family. Don’t let anyone shit on you and think that you’re a joke. You and I both know that you did amazing things. Things that we didn’t think possible. You are a great guy, Barry.

@ pokemon starters ! this is a fun interesting question because i dont remember anyone but my heracross! like sometimes i wonder if i DID have a piplup like im "supposed to" have in canon (or maybe even another sinnoh starter, given the whole "rival" thing!), but i'm pretty sure heracross and i have always been together, so i'm not sure why i would have been given a regular starter pokemon by prof rowan? whatever though! heracross is the answer -barry

"(oh this is from the barry from before, i should mention i'm from a loosely game based canon, so there is no real "lore" on my heracross like the anime, lol)"

People in the pokemon fandom are always like "Make the games harder! You should struggle and grind for the win!!" and I'm like... nah. I mean nothing against people who play competitively or stuff but I never cared, and never will care, about IVs and EVs and natures. There's no fun in that.

I formed a connection with my pokemon; they were far more than just a means to an end. They all had their own nicknames and I remembered where I got each and every one of them. I would pet them and sing them songs and we'd play together. Why would I want to turn those incredible friendships into a "oh well this one doesn't have this thing I want so I'll throw it away and catch another"? Talk about making the whole thing impersonal!

You can call me casual, but I always saw pokemon as being a fun experience, not a hardcore challenge that should feel like hitting your head against the wall. If you want ultra hard games, there's plenty of them out there. Leave me and my pokemon be instead of bitching about the difficulty every single entry - Barry

I finally looked at some gameplay of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and like... Am I the only one that thinks it looks awful? It's not just me, is it? It just. It looks so cheap and plastic-y and weird.

There are ways to make a chibi style look good in 3D. This is not how you do it. Look at how the massacred my friends - Barry

Just now I saw someone say something transphobic on a post about me so friendly reminder: Pokemon is not for transphobes! I wasn't trans in my past life but I am in this one so don't you even try to use me for that shit :) - Barry

Sometimes I worry about sending confessions talking about how I feel towards someone in my source (especially if I like them) because like... What if they're uncomfortable with my affection? What if they didn't see me as a friend/partner and they hate that I do see them that way? What if I'm a prick in their canon and they don't want anything to do with me? Like yeah I might be worrying too much but. What if - Izuku Midoriya/Shadow Link/Barry
