pokémon are hot enough as they are you don’t need to make them hotter

it is fucking forty minutes after midnight it is not time to practice my chinese

you ever make a commit message which is just like “yes i wrote this code but i have no idea why i did it this way and how about not”

you read…

is this negging

can't even talk about my feelings without it being a subtoot

pick your level :—

• 0%: subtlety is for cowards

• 50%: normal

• 100%: buddy, if i couldn't speak through subtext, i wouldn't speak

« Washington’s debt limit drama has Wall Street betting that the United States will employ a fallback option to ensure it can make good on payments to its lenders even if Congress doesn’t raise the nation’s borrowing limit before America runs out of cash.

But that untested idea has significant flaws and has been ruled out by the Biden administration, which could make it less of a bulwark against disaster than many investors and politicians are counting on. » lmao

should have just rolled with this one honestly https://youtu.be/_vdSzIawfGM

before you call me a crusty millennial i did like this one https://youtu.be/xxttjs3Md2Q

pokémon music is supposed to sound like this https://youtu.be/o0f98sxBwN8

i don't like the ed sheeran pokémon song

zora have fish lips and sharp teeth

nobody has written a White-Striped Basculin fic yet to nobody's surprise

somebody has written a Combat Breed Tauros fic but they tagged it “Paldean Tauros”

it isn't synned yet but buddy they still haven't wrangled “Meowscarada”

now i am wondering how A·O·3 handles White-Striped Basculin and i’m scared to find out

the only distinguishing factor between regional variant and form is that eggs match the region they are created in but match the form of the mother

BUT regional variant is commonly considered a higher level of differentiation than form (e·g regional variants have different evolutionary families in the T·C·G; A·O·3 syns form and gender to the common species but leaves regional variants distinct)

i WANT there to be such a thing as “Paldean Tauros” (regional variant with 3 forms) but there could just as easily just be “Tauros” (common variant with 4 forms, 3 of which are only obtainable in Paldea)

for that matter, when you breed common (Kantonian) Tauros in Paldea what do you get?

solving this question will be my very first task once Pokémon HOME compatibility comes for Scarlet and Violet it’s eating me alive

if you get :—

• White-Striped Basculin

—: then Pokémon HOME is likely wrong and White-Striped Basculin is not a regional form. if you get :—

• Red‐Striped Basculin
• Blue‐Striped Basculin

—: then White-Striped Basculin *is* a hisuian regional form despite not having “Hisuian” in its name

the same question will apply to Combat Breed Tauros, Blaze Breed Tauros, and Aqua Breed Tauros once they are available in another game
