  1. So hears the T on steven universe, theres a lot of things we all want out of it, and we will never get in an 11 minute time slot, things like character development, more in depth story telling and even better character design (debateble) are all hard and tedious to fit into such a short time slot, combine that with the fact that its such an in demand cartoon and you have a very over worked, stressed out rebecca sugar and her team, every artist knows that when you do your art for others it flounders, but when you do it for yourself its much easier and much more rewarding, so in closing, we have to let it play its course, we will get what we get, its still Rebecca’s vision after all

  3. Speaking of starters, I really liked how you got the Kanto starters in Kalos. I was hoping you’d get Z-Moved Johto starters in Alola but I’m hoping we get Johto starters in DPPt remakes 😀

  4. Gonna blow your minds

    In SuMo, you can get the Johto, Unova and Alola starters. Odd because usually starters are obtained in third versions and sequels.

    That leaves the Sinnoh, Hoenn, Kanto and Kalos.

    Kalos starters were obtainable in the main story of Kalos, as were the Kanto starters. The Hoenn starters have the same treatment in OR AS.

    The Sinnoh, Unova and Johto starters are in ORAS too as post game rewards. But why aren’t the Sinnoh starters in SuMo too then?

    Unova and Johto starters available twice out of story on the 3DS

    Kanto, Hoenn, Kalos and Alola starters mandatory on the 3DS

  5. I’ve made Link into a professional guardian killer. I have the full set from Robbie, the shield, the bow, the bladesaw, and a bunch of ancient arrows.

  6. When Fairy mentioned they were doing a story, I started considering a plotline for a story of my own. Then I gave up.
    But while doing so I started drawing a character based upon myself, so I’m going to leave that here:

    Sorry about the crappy quality, I used a crappy old camera instead of my usual scanner.
    Also that’s the closest any of you are ever getting to a photo of me, and I dare say I captured my own likeness quite well.

      • Thanks. I was going to do more but a lot of pokemon I like are hard to draw so I stuck to the simpler ones (still messed up Espeon’s ear though).

        I’ll remember that. (I don’t like making assumptions :P)

  7. The literal best thing about America is the ability to run around in circles at midnight while violently flailing glow sticks around like a madman once a year. Besides that, we got nothin….

    Besides a few good food places
