  • If we’re talking just the RPG maker series and not any of the creations, XP because pokemon essentials.

    Otherwise, it’s close because I love Pokemon Uranium (the game that got banned from too much success and attention IIRC) and the currently still WIP Pokemon Empire (the game where you visit the Telius region and start on a plane ride, to avoid spoilers and also it being mixed up with any other game).

    I really like Pokemon Uranium mostly because of nostalgia. Saw videos of people I used to watch who didn’t normally make pokemon content playing it and it’s probably the first pokemon fangame I ever played and definitely the first I finished the main story of. Still waiting for post game to be released and I’m absolutely pumped for when/if it ever releases.

    I love Empire it takes baseline Pokemon Reborn/Rejuvenation elements such as field effects and adds a lot to them, has 18(?/one per type) badges planned and the currently available actually feel fair while still being challenging (IMO), changes a ton of moves to make them better (splash lowering accuracy? I’ll take it!), has some pretty cool fakemon (even if they’re not all ones you would see in an official game design wise) with a pretty cool spinda evolution, and even changes the type chart by having normal be super effective against fairy type, making normal have an actual use. Also, you can start with a starter of just about any type, which is absolutely amazing.

    Biggest problem with both, in my opinion, is that they rely on discord servers for sharing things like game dev progress/updates and such, like most every other fangame out there.





  • I feel old for remembering a time when they advertised their service on wii some time after they stopped doing trade in DVDs, which my family was a part of. Back when I’d have the wii set up in my bedroom just to watch my favorite cartoons or the (to me) once new and mysterious Doctor Who (before eventually dropping due to lack of interest). Back when they were pretty much the only streaming service and had just about everything. Back before everything became siloed away into 500 different services that all add up to the price of healthy organs on the black market.

    Now you’d be lucky to see me on their platform regardless of whether or not my family has the ad free plan or not (no idea if we do, nor do I care). Let alone any of the other services.

    After last night, most certainly I wish I took French in highschool so I could be taking French now in college. Just to move out of the USA and to greener pastures like Switzerland. Haven’t heard any bad news about them going fascist yet.




  • As a college student, best experience I’ve had is just generating stories that you can easily tell are AI written by use of specific language.

    Second best was when I tried taking pokemon from older generations, taking their BST, telling an AI (perplexity) that I wanna give them gen 5 BST, providing a spreadsheet with all gen 5 pokemon w/BST and each individual stat, and using whatever it gives me as a baseline for making BST edits.

    Otherwise, I wouldn’t say I’m a big fan of AI since I don’t have many uses for it myself.
