but listen: a pokémon game with a medieval fantasy setting

The moment I first saw Tropius in Ruby version, it became one of my top favorite Pokemon. Since then I’ve been trying to find a shiny on Route 119- to no avail. Years and years later I found a shiny Tropius in X, but it didn’t feel the same. Nothing can compare to seeing a new Pokemon for the first time. Here’s a mashup of the two moments, though. :D
There are seven kinds of Pokemon in this image – can you find them all? Enjoy!





It took me a while to figure out the right way to propose to Max, but I’m pretty damned proud of what I came up with.
A “grass type” starter with a wooden inlay. A “fire type” starter which is black with a red gem, and a “water type” starter with a mother of pearl inlay.
I’ve been scheming like a madman for months, having things shipped to my friends, and hiding art supplies.
Max, for his part, has been telling me pretty much every day since we’ve started that he’s going to marry me. Somehow, I was still nervous when it came time to ask about making that official.
At the beginning of every adventure, you need to pick a partner. I chose him. So, I figured if he said yes, he could decide what to wear on his finger.
He said yes, by the way.
