Like the game isn't buggy or flawed in the gameplay...it's just lacking so many options. It was already homogenising things with the altered stats, but now with fewer item options and only ~180 accessible Pokémon, competitive is going to suck for a while.

I appreciate that "it doesn't really work this way", I just don't care. An imminent threat to end a civilization is a 5 alarm fire, even by Trump standards. If he can break the constitution to start a war, you can bend some procedure to stop a genocide. At least look like you're trying.
A lot of people are assuming live action because Proximity does live action stuff, but they also did Eyes of Wakanda, so it could go animated.
If nothing else, I'm not sure how it would work post-smartphones.
It's really something isn't it... seeing Earth like that. Really makes you think about how... screwed we all are.
So many internet folks are wringing their hands over why Disney would make a live-action adaptation, because of how much CGI they would need. Is there any actual, definitive reporting that it even is live-action? I don't see any.
Ok, well that's not bad news. Still wish you two were directly involved, although maybe you're relieved you're not. 😅
Michael Grant and I have concerns that the project is under-resourced. But one of the producers, Sev Ohanian, is a friend, as well as a genuine Animorphs fan. If anyone can make it work, he can. Fingers crossed. variety.com/2026/tv/news...
Really need to know if @kaaauthor.bsky.social or @michaelgrantbks.bsky.social are in any way involved in the early-in-development Disney+ adaptation of Animorphs. I want so badly for this to be a well-done, faithful adaptation. I still haven't recovered from the Nickelodeon show.
Happy World Autism Day. Being the parent of an autistic kid rocks in ways you can’t imagine unless you live it. My son woke me up this morning and explained the order of Hollywood studio acquisitions between Columbia, Tristar, and Sony Pictures — while eating ube ice cream. It was 5am.
Wait, huh? Didn't they rise from the dead like 5 minutes ago?
We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.
Leave us the fuck alone.
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
John Tyler, 10th US President, was born in 1790. His last surviving grandchild, Harrison Ruffin Tyler, died on May 25, 2025.

Something I think about lately is that when I was 20, WWI seemed a very long time ago. Yet it doesn’t, now, in my late 70s.
The US is turning 250 this year.
A screenshot of PKMDS: Pokémon Save Editor for Web, in which a Gengar's moves can be seen. The first move is Megahorn, which is marked as an invalid move.

Happy Pokémon Day! I’ve made a ton of progress on my way to feature parity with PKHeX. Most notably: legality checks and fixes!
Ok, I’m not complaining - but the new Pokémon Grass and Water starters look very familiar…
1. Tried with an empty project, and it didn't produce any files, in spite of claiming to.
2. Tried with a non-empty project and it created duplicate files / definitions, and build errors. I had to ask repeatedly to get it to de-dupe its work and fix its own errors, only for it to crash.
Screenshot of a macOS 'Problem Report for Xcode' dialog stating 'Xcode quit unexpectedly.' The dialog includes a warning icon and a message that says to click Reopen to open the application again and that the report will be sent to Apple. In the Comments section, the text reads: 'The AI chat was doing some work for me when the crash happened.' Buttons at the bottom are labeled 'Show Details,' 'OK,' and a highlighted blue 'Reopen.'
So like… does Xcode 26.3 with agentic coding work for anyone?
I mean, I’ve been using auto complete/intellisense since Visual Studio was a thing, so it’s not like we haven’t had these types of tools to help us get actual code on the page for a long time.
To be fair, I don’t like raisins at all

This but ARM might be neat.
Are you using the latest version? It should be 2025.11.11.4.
I would also like to know what game the save file came from, what platform you are using (Android is my guess), and what browser you are using (Chrome is my guess).
Here’s the thing about windowing on iPadOS 26, many apps have a collapsible left sidebar and the traffic light buttons block you from clicking it 90% of the time 😑
And I just realized that that’s from an in-game NPC. 🤦🏻♂️
Haha, I have been playing quite a lot, even done some trades. But that is not me. My in-game name for every Pokémon game has always been Mike.
