Ok, Hear Me Out

if Ryme and Tyme are sisters they should have the last name right?

And teachers often don't go by their first names in class so Tyme is likely her last name RIGHT?

so is Ryme's name

Ryme Tyme?

An open letter to General Mills [Fruit by the Foot]

Hello General Mills, Air here.

I would just like to say. I want a replacement Fruit by the Foot.

Last year during the summer, I was going to grab a packet of Fruit by the foot. It was a starburst[s] flavour.

But when I went to go grab it... The packet was empty! It was full of air and sealed.

What in the fork happened? I just want my fruit by the foot back :(

Cheers!

Air

So I'm certainly not the first person to notice this but I've literally never seen anyone else talk about it so screw it. i will

Scarlet and Violet seem to have his really big theme with the characters and them defying expectations and having things you just wouldn't expect (I hope I'm explaining this well lol)

Honestly there's too many examples to list them all so I'm going to stick with Team Star because I love them.

Even the whole storyline has this as the thing because you're introduced to them as just these delinquent kids who cause trouble but as you go through the story you learn that there's way more to them than just that and that they're honestly pretty nice.

Giacomo being a dark type trainer can weigh into this as dark types can be associated with evil acts and criminals in Pokémon but he ain't evil. Also having someone part of the evil team but also being a huge rule stickler in the past is contrast as well.

Mela being really shy underneath her outward appearance works like this too as she looks threatening and mean but is just shy is contrast. It also works and goes against preconceived notions with fire trainers in the franchise being loud and boisterous (there are other exceptions though like Kabu).

Atticus follows through with the previous trends of poison trainers being ninjas but breaks other things. Like having him interested in sewing and having him make all the clothes goes against gender stereotypes in a way y'know like a male character sewing???

(again I know that he isn't the first Pokémon character to break gender ideas but let me gush ok)

And then there's Ortega who is a very cutesy fairy trainer but also is kind of the meanest in the team and like openly insults people semi-regularly. Also having the fairy specialist being the mechanic is kind contrasty because fairies are weak to steel so yeah. Also rich boy mechanic, you love to see it

Eri is certainly the most intimidating looking of the team but in probably like one of the nicest people in this game. Also unrelated but I like how frilly and princessy her clothes are and she even has a cute little tiara but she also could beat you up like you don't have to choose between being a princess and beating people up.

And then Penny

Oh boy Penny

Like shy nerd is the true mastermind??? Like who could've thunk it and like even though she looks very non threatening and sweet and stuff she stole from practically like the school board/government and nearly gets away with it. Another bit is like she sounds so confident and mysterious as Cassiopeia but the we get to see PENNY and she's so shy and stammering and it's just perfect.

so TLDR: I really like Team Star and breaking expectations.

Pokepinion-tober: 4

Woo I'm on time!

Welcome back to me generating a random Pokémon for each day of October and giving my opinion on it.

So far we've got; Draglage, Skuntank, and Cramorant.

Let's start

4: Lechonk

Of course the most perfect thing about this piggy is the name. The fact that Pokémon actually used the word chonk in the name, is hilarious. It's name is literally the chonk. I love the name

The rest of it? Eh. I mean it's not a bad take on the early route normal type trope, but I don't have that much to say about it.

It is super duper cute. I love the brown pattern around the face that makes it look like it's been digging around in the dirt, like how real pigs search for truffles.

Also the little pattern under the eye that makes it look like it's crying is also cute. Not that the little guy crying is good, but it feels like it's reacting to everyone making ham sandwiches. They even summon normal types for gods sake.

The shiny is also nice, making reference to the traditional pink piggy look.

6/10. Slightly better than average, but not much else. It has some nice cute design elements, but the main appeal to me is the name.
