Just went back to PokĆ©mon Scarlett last night where the school director is like ā€œArven, sorry about your motherā€ and heā€™s like ā€œoh yeah, it sucked to find out who I thought was my mother was actually a robot and my real mother had been dead for years, oh wellā€ šŸ˜

Give that guy some school counseling services at least!!!

I used to be a morning person but now I donā€™t like mornings. I still donā€™t like evenings and in the afternoons Iā€™m often sleepy. Turns out I like between 11am and 12:30pm only.

The noxious swamp event is a great time to do your Meltan mystery box if you are looking for some extra Meltan candy to help with those Xernius raids!

@willc interesting. I can see that point of view but at least you know regulators will keep close eyes on it
