soc_puppetFinally actually playing this after a brief stint where I was too annoyed to look at it. (The fact that you can't turn off auto-save in the game pisses me off.)
I'm not very far in yet; only made it to my first advancement match. I'm liking the story and the characters so far, but the gameplay... Look, I like turn-based gameplay. I'll probably at least try to knuckle through to the end of this, but I do miss that from the other games. Add to it the fact that the 3D camera is making me kinda dizzy, and, well.
Honestly, a replay of Fire Red and/or Leaf Green and watching the cut scenes/a Let's Play on YouTube is looking pretty appealing by comparison.

Tired
Feb. 28th, 2026 06:43 pmsoc_puppetI think I may have walked five miles today in while playing Pokémon Go, and my legs are not going to be happy about it tomorrow.
I am trying desperately not to care about the shameless money-grab that is special backgrounds, but alas, it's not working very well.
Anyway, Happy Pokémon Day/Weekend/What-have-you, the trailer for Pokémon Winds and Waves also got to me more than I wanted it to, Nintendo clearly has my number on speed-dial.

Er. Well. Nothing significant to report, really. Oh, aside from giving a signal boost to this post on![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_dev, about Dreamwidth's stance on "AI"/Machine Learning/what-have-you. There's even more detail in this thread on dw_dev on the post just before it, both of which really shed light on some of the actual good uses of Applied Statistics Machines.
Anyway, as a result of Dreamwidth's public stance that they won't accept any AI generated art for anything site supported (styles, mood themes, etc), I went ahead and made a statement of my own on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
moodthemeinayear. Shortest version: AI generated mood themes will not be eligible for the Dreamwidth points giveaway.
Time for bed readiness now, I think!
