Thank you for sharing the end of MP! I first discovered the series when I was having some initial revelations about my sexuality and mental health, and the ch. 1 quote "It's just a different type of normal life" (and the rest of the series) will always mean alot to me. Wishing you the best for future life and projects!
thank you, that’s so sweet! thank you for reading and supporting my work!
As as eeveelutions go, I always thought they decided on them based on new features of that game; day/night was a new thing in GS, so we got day vs night eevee; location-based evolution was new in DP I think, so we got two who were evolved that way; And Amie was new in XY so they did an evolution with that. They could have done a dragon-type eeveelution that involved Super Training in XY, though, and kept both trends going! I'd love a dragon Eevee!
Huh . . . that’s an interesting way to think of it, and honestly one I hadn’t thought of before! You bring up a good point about Amie + Super Training, but to be honest, even if they didn’t want to use Super Training, they could have still used Amie. Sylveon evolves by maxing out Amie and having eevee know a fairy-type move. While eevee can’t learn any dragon-type moves (at least not in Gen VI, I just checked), they either a.) could have worked one in somehow, or b.) perhaps made it item dependent instead. Like, max out Amie, and then level up eevee while eevee is holding a Dragon Fang. Something like that easily could have worked to give us the dragon-type eeveelution that we all know we deserve.
But yeah, you bring up a really good point about the features. I really hadn’t thought of it that way before. Thanks for sending this in!

This is really disheartening! Lack of puzzles was one of my least favorite things about SuMo (and there were a lot of frustrating things about it…). And I’m not into IV breeding and such myself, but that WAS one of the “new ways” people found to enjoy Pokemon games?? So why say that’s the goal if he’s actually just locking people out of what they like for what he thinks they should like. Sad news, but thanks for the analysis.
The lack of puzzles in the Alola games was particularly disappointing because the island trials system made it sound as though puzzles would play an integral part. After all, these were supposed to be trials that you completed with your pokémon; a lot of older fans were reminded of the Orange Islands from the anime, or even though of temples like in The Legend of Zelda. But that isn’t what we got. The “challenges” were so easy that there were times (such as during Kiawe’s trial) that I thought I was being faced with trick questions, and the “dungeons” were very, painstakingly linear. This isn’t even getting into how things were changed in USUM; whereas you were at least allowed to do Mallow’s trial on your own in the original Sun Version, in Ultra Sun she literally escorts you through it. They stripped out whatever challenge there was in the remakes. It was ridiculous.
And that’s the thing about features such as IV breeding or EV training: you don’t have to do them in order to complete the main game. If all you want to do is collect badges, beat the Elite Four, and do whatever gimmick there is that gen (whether it’s contests or movies or whatever else), you can do that with just the pokémon you catch and train through normal gameplay. Things such as breeding, EV training, Battle Frontiers---these are optional things for players who want to explore the game a bit more deeply, and who want to put more work into it. They’re not mandatory at all. So to strip them out in the name of “simplifying” the game and making it more “accessible” makes no sense. No one has to do these things, so how are they making the game inaccessible? They’re not. They’re just adding more content, which Masuda seems to hate for whatever reason. Honestly, it seems to me like maybe he’s terrible at IV breeding, and terrible at EV training, and thus wants to take these features out so he no longer feels bad about being terrible at these games. Considering he doesn’t even remember how HMs work, that wouldn’t surprise me.
But yeah, it is sad, especially since it kills hope for the future of the series. I’m seriously worried about the 2019 games, I won’t lie.
yooo what if you guys cosplayed Sans and Papyrus together would that be cute or what
Austin makes the perfect Papyrus. :3

If it's any consolation I'll likely be doing paper prep during the day and working all evening 'til midnight! I'll try throw some candy to Texas tho, might just make it
I’ll be sure to hold up my trick-or-treat bag in your direction, just in case!
lessee...how bout dat 1, I bitterly ask 16, and also 25 34 and 41!
Aaaaaay thanks. Here we go1. What color do you talk in?I’m gonna have to say a bright cyan. When it’s over a white background, it’s easy to ignore (people interrupt me when I talk pretty often) but when it’s a black background, it’s easy to see. I don’t know if my reasoning made sense there.16. Do you like feeling tall?It has its advantages from time to time! However, I think I’d be happy regardless my height, ya know? Sometimes I wonder what things would look like from a slightly different angle.25: What are songs that make you want to become the sky?The Death Parade OpeningHope and DreamsPresto34. If you were a teacher, what would you assign to your class as their first project?Hmmm... really depends on the type of teacher I’d be. If I were going to be really general about it, I’d ask my students to find something they wished they knew how to do as a kid, and to learn how to do it now. I feel like achieving childhood dreams is one of the best feelings, and the stuff that seemed impossibly hard as a child can usually be learned with a bit of determination.Either that, or build a trebuchet. That’s always a bunch of fun.41. if you could choose one instrument to master overnight, which would it be?I’d have to say piano. I’m already somewhat decent at it, but I would love to master it. It’s one of those instruments that are common enough at people’s houses that you could play if for them for fun, and one of the few instruments that can sound really good on its own without any accompaniment. Thanks for the ask!
"anyone but Harper" has basically characterized every political conversation I've had; also, as a young voter I've also seen way more people my age talking about the election; even the high school kids I've worked with at part-time jobs who are a year or two from voting are pretty decently informed and interested in voting, which is a super cool change!
Very good to hear!
I think school printers might be a cheapish alternative but might clunk out from overuse or something? It could be fine, but I know I've had several students come into the tutoring office like "hey hey so sorry I'm late and don't have a paper copy of my work but the printer isn't working". Alternatively, it's right before the fall semester now, so it might be the best time, maintenance wise
Ah, yeah I had an incident once where I was printing ~40 pages and... it ran out of paper. I ended up losing the money I paid for it because the office wasn’t open (it was late in the day, like 10:30 at night) and nobody was there to put paper in it. We’ve got some big ol’ copiers that are pretty good about not clunking out, but considering how it’s still a bit more expensive than the international edition, I think I’ll just wait for it to ship instead of spending good money on something that’s not guaranteed to work.
