Apparently Wartortle’s fluffy tail is based on a mythical turtle with a seaweed tail, for having lived a thousand years. Not sure about his ears. (Also some promo artwork miscolors the fluff AS ears, but theyre supposed to be the same off-blue as his tail)

Not sure why artistically he loses that moving up to Blastoise, but it follows the evolutionary theme of consuming the tail for energy (kind of like tadpoles and their tail) and using that energy to create his pressure washers. If anything, Squirtl show have a more apparent tail to convey the presence of such, to intentionally draw attention to its consumption later.

It’s hard to beat those cannons and smug face knowing how powerful it is. All that fluff comes out of nowhere on Squirtle>Wartortle then…disappears again on Blastoise?

Pikachu exists like Magmar, and I would say is in the same camp as Golbat where a Baby was added later so the pokemons design stands on its own.

Pre-evo baby pokemon generally do not count towards these because half of everyone forgets them (other than pichu) - they tend to just be Dex filler you forget exists in a box in the games. I don’t think they even print baby pokemon in the cards anymore because how non-necessary they are

Middle evos tend to be…lackluster. The ones that are just upgrades from the basic, a-b-c like Starters and the Generational Bug. Exceptions like Haunter, Dragonair, exist where the middle evolution stands out from the final form. Last major category is have unique in all 3, because an evo was added later, like Golbat to Crobat and Rhydon to Rhyperior.

The oddest one out is ones where people prefer stage OVER the basic, until the evo. These are like Gothorita, Lampent, and Hattrem.

Shit I dont know anyone who can afford this. No one in my work or friend group has a Steam Deck or Switch 2. Nearly 20 people all of us of us have ps5, XsX, or switch 1. 6 have a pc that can run the latest games without chugging. Not even the scalper guy at work has gotten a Switch2 to flip.

The market for Steam Deck is already so small, you would have to undercut it in price or overshoot it in specs by such a rediculous margin (either one) to get mass market adoption. Consoles were BORN FROM being cheaper and “punching above its pricetag” compared to modular PCs. This handheld is neither.

$1000 consoles and $100 games…here we come I guess. I’m so tired of fighting this fight. One of the tenants of capitalism is that you, the consumer, should demand more-for-less. It doesn’t matter that you got a good deal already. It is a consumers duty to demand a product for less, or even free. People have grown complacent and lazy with this duty - misinformation and complacency, and a culture that promotes both “fuck you I got mine” and “overpaying is a flex” has allowed prices to rocket under greedflation.

An opening sequence as recognizable as Never Gonna Give You Up

*to redeem you from my judgement, since you will never be good enough to undo you having Knowldege of Good and Evil, in the original shouldering of Collective Guilt.

Yes! Long live moth!

We’ve drifted into Warp space! Why aren’t we building armies to defend ourselves?

A problem of his own creation in panel 2

Honestly I saw this after it said deleted, but frankly my guy i have zero idea what your rant even means. Are you like…mad bugs is dressed in drag?? Are you upset pug specifically posted it?

Did you miss the part where bugs has been around since the 1930s, and has been crossdressing at least since the 50s. One could hate Lola since she was created specifically for Space Jam and that was solely to sell fucking shoes, but BUGS? This image could have been made anywhere after 1940 (even with the obvious Female Bugs) and gets a “haha that’s so bugs bunny!”

Your opening rant was so incoherent and your…apparent(?) Accusation that Pug is…projecting? In denial? I dont even know because it’s so off the wall. The only conclusion I can come to is you saying Pug is projecting their identity via a crossdressed bugs bunny meeting lolas parents. Boiled pizza is the only visual shrug that accurately summarizes how much I do not understand your position.

I’d say kicking it but frankly not a lot of kicking anything with the ankle. Uk how it is. Generally Greece hasn’t been friendly towards people with kinetic disabilities what with all the stairs and ships and all, so I live on an island relying on the community.

Lovely woman opened a hotel here. Had to move out when her daughter was gonna get married but apparently there was like 3 men who might be her dad…and they sang about it? Idk lotta personal issues there. So just hanging around with some guy and his rock these days.

Not sure what the point you’re trying to make, but here have this

Here’s something nearly as old!

I’m in this picture and I hate it

sigh

I’m cool with walking, biking, or busses, or whatever. But if you are increasing the size of a city, and there is no easy way to funnel people from their homes to jobs in a timely fashion, your city will experience gridlock. The issue at hand is Charlottesville expanding- meaning a population increase to feed their financial center. So yes, they need to increase the ability to cross it. Be that via bus or car, to the new suburbs and other residential zones.

I do so love my heavy v8 sports car, but I’m not so short sighted to slight the idea of public busses and bicycles - just that if we want them in cities then we need to build for them. Bus curbs and bike trails. My city builds for neither except symbolically, so yes, I notice the issues with traversing it on the individual level, when my personal commute is over 8 miles poorly timed and poorly lined Stroads. Areas with very wide lanes and clear sides but silly low artificial speed limits. Areas with narrower old streets and trees closing in on you, but are 40. Zero consideration for road dressing and all according to zoned speeds. Results in speeding and unsafe neighborhoods.

Eh it helps create thoroughfare. Our city features nothing but 2lane roads each way in/out of the downtown area, and the rest of the 120sqmi city is comprised of 1-2 lanes each way. Construction on any road dropping it a lane makes the next traffic light 6-8 blocks long.

Maybe Charlottesville is different and already has a major thoroughfare, but not having at least one “superwide road” is murder on all the small side streets that are not built to handle the traffic flooding around a blocked 2lane. Without public transit to support the population, making the city bigger without widening a few key roads into important parts is begging to have your neighborhood roads obliterated by heavy traffic.

That is surprising, but ultimately good to hear, really.
