real. making a creature collector -- one that is actually quite similar to Pokémon -- in Turbowarp of all engines, and while the merits of an innate understanding of what i'm working with is nice, i have no idea how i'm going to make the collection aspect work with that local storage extensions; at bare minimum one creature has six individual parameters to decode and pack into the boxes on boot. rinse and repeat 30 times, and repeat that for however many storage boxes end up allowed and just... ough
a lot of what stifles me with web game dev is the urge to keep the save files small. i keep it very conservative to make sure the player doesn't bump into browser storage issues and i also like that you can just copypaste your save anywhere as a plain text string! however if i want to do anything complex then that becomes the bottleneck. at some point i'll get back into Godot and make the most gratuitously intricate simulation game i can come up with. parasitizing people's hard drives to incubate enormous procedural map files
any fellow r/stunfisk slitherers get a sneak preview of my opus coming tomorrow:
More real-life pics of the Pokemon Fit/Sitting Cuties Alolan form plushies!
some things of note, about an hour in with just over 1000 lions gone:
○ Regirock and Spiritomb have both been placed in Superhell for their crimes (boosting with Curse incredibly quickly and becoming nigh untouchable, taking over 300 lions each, will have to figure out crits in a future update)
○ touching on the mechanics side of things;
• both Pokémon and Lions are at Lv.50 with no EVs and 15 IVs
• all Pokémon have the 4 moves they would know if found in the wild at L50, as accurate to their data in SV (all of em have movesets there lmao) -- the Lions are rolling with Double-Edge, Slash, Crunch & Rest
• speaking of Lions, they're typeless creatures with 93HP, 101Atk, 78Def, 98Sp.Atk, 73Sp.Def and 92Speed, but still get STAB on Normal moves because, in the words of one Hobie Brown, "I don't believe in consistency"
• this isn't conclusive yet, as while mons can boost their stats they can't drop theirs or their opponents, lions may need a moveset tweak so i won't have to murder Regirock, Spiritomb and any other smug Curse boosters, and quite a number of actually possibly good moves (CounterCoat, Transform, Super Fang & co, etc.) don't work yet
i'm gonna let the sim run while i sleep, feel free to ask questions if you actually find this
and if one more little bitch starts Curse steamrolling so help me Arceus i will
how can you tell i've gone insane? by the fact that i'm currently trying to measure 1B Lions v. Pokémon in 1v1 autobattles
seems like GO is letting me celebrate Galarian Expedition early
this was after 7 encounters (1 Articuno not pictured b/c i had the save screenshots turned off) btw

great question! glad to know the bots can spam with google play links now
i tried to imagine something like this for the new ones and all i could think of is that image with eminem saying “woe, chien be upon ye”
Instead of regular swear words or using the Lord’s name in vain, characters in the Pokémon use curses that feature Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. They also do this for blessings as well, or any situation where you would want to swear.
Examples:
“Arceus” : catchall curse. (“Dear Arceus” , “I swear to Arceus”)
“By Dialga, I hate changing time zones.”
Of course these curses and blessings can also vary by region.
“May Zekrom smite you where you stand” (Unova)
“Giratina’s curses be upon ye” (Sinnoh)
“May Xerneas grant you good health and long life” (Kalos)
“Rayquaza, put an end to Kyogre and Groudon’s wrath” (Hoenn, during rain season and earthquake season)
“Ho-Oh’s blessings be upon ye” (Johto)
“May Lugia watch over you” (also Johto)
Sinnohan high schooler studying for a math test: “Uxie, grant me the knowledge to ace this test. Azelf, grant me the willpower to study for this test. Mesprit, grant me any emotions other than frustration with how hard pre-calculus is.”
“By Latios this cannot be happening” (Hoenn)
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
watching Sonic 3 finally [completely legal means™️] and...
○ Stone being Stone
there is no fucking way they're still not gay yet what?
○ can't forget Robotnik just tearing into Stone's shirt
○ Robotnik mentions "all possible genders"
○ R's reaction to Stone being tied up
○ Stone just overcome with emotion -- bonus points for Eggman himself calling it jealousy
also the site i found it on had everyone losing their mind at the shot of Super!Sonic & Shadow and frankly i can't blame them
