idk might just stop. could be based.

maybe i'll add some tiny details but barring those the fun is about to begin

ignore those extra at the intersection, they shouldn't be there and i will now get rid of them

named it "howe" with six spaces following. kinda funny that i only threw the ultra ball that caught it because i wanted the timer balls to have a higher catch rate. didn't even have any status ailments so that's pretty good luck. plus i was counting and it still had 6 pp left on rest so it could easily have made the whole process take longer.

many resets were done on account of it getting confused and killing itself, me confusing it whereupon it also killed itself, my pokemon accidentally getting a critical hit when i really didn't need them to, or on one occasion it running out of pp on all moves and struggling itself to death. shedinja was on some absolute gigachad shit as far as catching rayquaza goes. could only get hit by fly and even then it had double team so making fly miss wasn't that hard.

now i just need latios and salamence. i've got about 172.5 hours logged so if i get the two of them within 4.5 hours of playtime i'll have every catchable pokemon in the game (177 species) with approximately one hour for each one. pretty badass.

i was christmas shopping. unrelatedly, mosquitoes are being especially dickish today.

progressing slowly but i've done most of this annoying bit

think i'll have more than enough time to do the fun part before the deadline

just gotta get latios, rayquaza and salamence and i will have everything i can possibly acquire without either hacking or going through the whole rigamarole of getting link cables and a gamecube and copies of other games to transfer the missing pieces from, giving me 177 caught pokes and an extra 10 seen ones (the lotad line, clefairy, the treecko line minus sceptile, sableye, seviper, lunatone and armaldo, honestly less than i was expecting).

i've had a fun time on the whole, and thinking about what i do and don't enjoy about it has made me come up with a game concept of sorts that i'll hopefully try to work some version of into existence by the end of next year, gonna have to finally sit down and start learning some real coding though because i don't want anyone to suffer through my inane shit before it becomes more concrete in nature.

my biggest gripe with the game is that the water is all the same, rather than the whole "too much water" meme. literally i was flipping through all the locations on bulbapedia and found this exact same table repeated over and over.

and it's not like there weren't other pokemon you could put in other routes, they never included krabby, or seel, or remoraid for instance, even when fishing, and if you're gonna have tentacool be there at level 35 you may as well have wild tentacruel too. just feels like with a bit of tweaking it wouldn't have been a complaint at all and that almost makes it worse.

anyway, as you can see i'm procrastinating on that drawing of mine quite professionally, but i just wanted to get these thoughts out there before i'm done with the game and they disappear from my head.

i've had this game for like 15 years and i only found out about this yesterday, fucked up

not giving any hints as to what or where this is but i'm sure anyone familiar enough with the material will be able to figure it out.

I honestly feel so big time. Powerful. Virile, even.

so i changed it B)

if only a little bit
