#shiny raid

[front-facing-pokemon]

Yes, Honedge!

Something i'd like to point out about its face:

It doesn't have a goofy face, the holes in the scabbard just make it look that way. In reality, it just has a single eye.

With that in mind, could you please do a version without the scabbard?

iiii figured this was common knowledge enough to not warrant an additional form, but alright:

some of the guard disappeared but it's okay. i never even saw that part of the scabbard as a face—the blue eye is very obviously an eye. i don't know if anyone actually thought that was its face. however, i do find it interesting that even after removing the scabbard textures, it still has textures for that "face" remaining:

which implies it's a face more than anything i've seen of the matter before this point

anyway there's so many asks in the box right now so let's just go through all of them:

in order from oldest to newest, here we go:

this is true. most of the models are shiny, unless they have a "colladamax" variant

ahh it's fine. i considered it might have been a request but i also doubted it considering pangoro was literally next so i assumed you were just excited. me complaining about requests was unrelated—another ask i got around the same time

well then maybe it's not a bad thing. you certainly phrased it like one, it seems, but that might just be unfortunate connotations with the way you said it? glad we could clear up the confusion i guess

we do need more snakes, but i also like the bipedal pokémon, as a furry. back when everyone was begging sprigatito not to stand up, i saw through their thinly-veiled furry hate and was begging sprigatito to go against the grain and stand up anyway. and then they did and now meowscarada is one of my favorite pokémon. get fucked, normies (i am sorry for saying this)

↑ i didn't know this until i looked it up! this is interesting. stuff like the male version learning misty terrain but the female version learning more type coverage. this is very strange but i like it. only girls can use magical leaf and charge beam sorry boys

thank you! i can explain it. it is because pokémon are getting very close and staring at you as for the inspiration for this blog, it was mostly snivy. i remember one day thinking that snivy's big nose would make it look very silly from the front, and being like "damn. someone should compile a list of what every pokémon looks like from the front. damn. that would make a good tumblr blog bc some of those would be really funny. damn. i should do that" and then i did. but that was back in 2020—pretty soon after i ended up starting college which didn't allot me a lot of time for updating this blog, and although i kept swearing i'd go back, somewhat soon after that i went through a breakup and just wanted to take a while for myself. a bit after that, tumblr user sewatari reblogged one of the posts on this blog again (the weedle post, i believe?) and singlehandedly revived this blog by reminding me that they still cared about it. and that's fucking awesome?? tbh?? so thank them for this blog's continued existence. if you scroll waaaayyyy back far enough in the archive, you'll probably see that miniature saga. the images back from the first gen and onwards were a little bit icky as i got grips on how to actually go about this blog and manipulate the models in the right way to get them to work, which is why i can never really recommend folks scroll all the way back in the blog, but it's a look back into my own personal history, i suppose

apologies for breaking the magic, although i don't think anyone keeps up with the "i am a pokémon taking real live pictures of other pokémon with the camera right in their face" lore because no one pays attention to the backgrounds of the images (which used to change much more than they do now, but that's just because no one ever noticed or pointed them out. the background is not the focus of the image—it's the pokémon itself; thus, why look at the background? staging the pokémon in a setting used to be important to me, but now i don't worry about it and cycle between the same few backgrounds) or the asks, really. it's the commentary in the tags everyone comes here for, of course

she's a fully-grown woman with a house

then you'll love the top of this post

they probably wouldn't think it looks like anything because they aren't familiar with what honedge looks like so they would just picture nothing in their head. or they would just make up what they Think honedge might look like based on its name, or something, and then imagine that front-facing

i don't know which one of these is the real one. but we have some discrepancy here. also apparently this is a wider-spread belief than i thought

OKAY. i think that's all of them. if you read all the way here to the end, that's. powerful. for those of you who stuck around this long, i'm live right now with a test stream having some breakfast and playing pokémon. come join in, if you're bored this morning!

edit: it's over but i'll probably do it again some time, more likely at a more reasonable hour next time. considering the idea of doing a fully voiced pmd series—perhaps that'll be the next stream. or i'll leave another test one for it. who knows!

#not pkmn #nose ratings #extremely long post under the cut #i missed a few days of these so you're getting them ALL at once #the test stream probably won't be anything interesting btw. so you're not missing out if you don't show up #probably. who knows what i'll do. maybe i'll queue up the next set of pokémon live on camera. or maybe i'll fail at some tera raids #or maybe i'll find a random full-odds shiny in sv. or i'll go shiny hunting or something. y'never know!! #also fun fact apparently if you edit a tumblr post with a readmore‚ it moves the readmore down every time you edit it #why? no idea

[boxheadpaint]

looks like 26 off from finishing galar dex, most are version exclusives / convoluted trade evos but also a few are just some i missed for some reason (fossils)

#i have 1 fossil mon registered probably because of suprise trade hackers throwing a shiny one at me #sorry my mismatched friends im just too easily distracted trying a spawn a slurpuff raid to revive fossils

Finally got this beautiful shiny this year. Fun fact, Shiny pumpkaboo was the first pokemon i ever shiny hunted on sword and shield! The same day my girlfriend dumped me😆

I love them so much

Ever since the Teal Mask DLC dropped, I noticed that the picnic table frequently just... isn't there. You can interact with it no problem but uh. Never had this issue before. Would not be surprised (just disappointed) if they never fixed or even acknowledged this.

Wonder what new ways they're gonna break the game with the Indigo Disk DLC...

#pokemon sv #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon scarlet #pokemon picnic table glitch #pokemon teal mask #pokemon sv dlc #waffledog barks #I've never used the picnic much and I'm only using it to reset spawns for a shiny slugma but still #also the mewtwo raid was bullshit and ogre oustin hard is almost impossible even with 3 people and a plan #see I enjoy this game but stuff like that is... not worth it

[molabuddy]

[scorchrend]

get yourself two blokes who do fuck all

#text #pokemon #my gholdengo army is growing. nobody can stop me. #yes. i hunted for the 999 coins twice already. im a little insane #(cannelloni is a shiny from the raids)

[beatcroc]

👀

back in like march? i think? @britebuck convinced me to make a pokesona specifically of a legendary pokemon [my normal one is nidorinx] so i made the world's shittiest most off brand disgraceful ho-oh and had an Immense amount of fun with it for the like two weeks it occupied my brain

it even comes with lore

+origin for the 'name'

and some other misc. fun doodles

this one was gonna be a bigger thing with it defending some rando from ghestis but i didnt get farther than this.

it may have learned 'no' from people frequently yelling at it to fuck off, but by the same quirk it also answers to 'no' when someome's like, indiscriminately screaming for help

i also wanted to do one abt it reviving peoples pets if they're brought to it but did not get 2 it at all. sad

#also yes it's partially shiny lol. on the underside only #i like to think thats part of the reason it keeps its wings closed most of the time #arting #pokesona #ho-oh #<-only putting it in the tag bc this thing is underloved and doesnt get much content i think. hello ho-oh fans. i made him awful. #someday i may post this properly if i ever get to the last two things but dont ever count on that #pokemon said heres this very very elusive very very sacred bird and i was like what if god just bummed around town and yelled at airplanes. #i like to think it's more or less a beloved local nuisance #the novelty and benefits of having it around outweigh the cons of the occasional trash raid #people still bring it food offerings at its tower in hopes of getting it to stop that but it's only questionably effective

I was farming chansey for exp and this happened 😀

Shadow Mewtwo is in raids this weekend with a chance of nabbing a shiny. Spent all week stock piling purified gems and building a team of hench as fuck Pokémon to kick its ass.

Anyone else out there raiding?

Here’s a bit of fanart I did to celebrate the occasion. A shiny Shadow Mewtwo.

Honestly idk what to expect for this year's Presents.

Like I know I'd love to see another Legends game or a Mystery Dungeon game, and I think it'd be really cool if we got a movie to coincide with the fact we got a new Mythical last month. (I loved the movies and the last time we got one was back in 2020)

But I also know the odds of getting even one of those is slim.

So I'll just go in without expecting much new games wise and see what happens. All I know is based off some leakers and hints in SV, there's a chance that we could be seeing a Gen 2 or Gen 5 related game.

#on that note #wonder what raid event could be announced #will it be a another starter? #or another Legendary Raid? #Like imagine Koriaodn and Miraidon's shiny forms? #Pokemon #Pokemon day #Pokemon presents

[crystalbeastsquidney]

Got to actually do some shadow raids for once

#one of my cousins and her boyfriend asked me to go raiding with them and this was my haul (minus the first two) #nothing incredible but i got a shiny and a 15 attack 3 star #that’ll be a big rare candy sink for the next long while #pokemon #pokemon go #mewtwo #my post #also got like 6 with my alt but nothing great there

Guys I finally found that shiny mill I was talking about last week!

Turns out that "better shiny" they were offering me was probably an Eevee or one of it's evolutions. Anyway, I'm planning for them to have a bit of an accident tomorrow. Feel free to join in if you're near Cortondo then.

Also I can't look after so many Eevees so if you know anyone who'd be down to take some of them please let me know!
