What were you seriously expecting?

She's an intentionally generic MC character who's violent characterisation extends entirely from her style of hat and nothing else.

Hey I'm not the only one who wanted it.

Absolutely disgusting.

And scottish accent=/=violent "characterisation". Plus scottish accents are more fun and its a funny reference.

Uri Geller is now allowing Pokemon to use Kadabra again.

Thanks heavens, finally.
Kadabra for me is among the designs that are what a pokemon should be (miss me with "we colored rl animal weird colors and made it look smug" and "vague cartoony shape built around what is painfully obvious human-doing-x concept", fanartists), so it being embargo'd was one of the things I found unreasonably distressing.

Most of the Pokemon after the first generation are a complete waste of effort. The fact that there are almost 1000 Pokemon now is a joke and hurts the series.
 
I don't know how much longer the eShop will last on the 3DS, so I forked over money to purchase the Gold, Silver and Crystal versions off the Virtual Console onto my brother's 3DS (trying to get my own so I can stop mooching off his). On top of nostalgia reasons, I've never played Crystal version as-is, SoulSilver was my first experience with Crystal, but I've always still wanted to play its original version ever since coming across the news about it online as a kid. I only just barely started it yesterday, but it's kinda weird to have Kris as a playable character. It's a strange statement to make, but she kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, and it wasn't something I noticed until I got to see her in person.

I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Fresh and true.

Even some of the original 151 are pretty lazy. But at least they aren't Girafarig or anything from Gen V and Gen VI.

Genwun harder why don't you.

Why single out girafarig, of all Pokemon? It actually has a fairly neat idea as it's concept - it's a living palindrome.

Wasn't Crystal version the first Pokemon game to feature a playable female character? If so, I remember her having blue hair that stuck out when you played as her.
 
When you actually look up Kris' hair it's way more wild than I remember:

Those things go forwards and upwards.

Yeah, not only was her overworld sprite blue instead of red(even her Lapras and Pikachu surfing sprites), her Pokegear interface was also blue instead of red as well, Blue was probably chosen not only because it was the bluish Crystal version that introduced her(In Japan Crystal was the first Pokemon game to have a colored cart, the Gen I games used the standard OG Gray carts and Gold/Silver used the GB/GBC hybrid Black carts), but also as a stark contrast to the red the original male protagonist used for everything, to make the choice of gender stand out a lot more.
 
Been screwing around in ranked battles for the first time ever in Shield, currently at a 50/50 win % at 24 battles with a Regigigas meme team.
Not too bad for not having played competitive since gen 4 IMO, though it is still low ladder so obviously these aren't the cream of the crop players.

I built the entire team around getting Gigas to sweep or at least ass blast most of the other team, so it's been really cool to experiment with different mechanics to manipulate his ability.
Audino is proving to be uncharacteristically reliable.
