They’re like the only ones making actual money with TTRPGs and even then they need Magic to keep themselves afloat!

Haha! There’s thankfully not enough money in TTRPGs for Nintendo to care.

Bobby Broccoli recently did a whole series on how his brother came to power and what the dynamics at play are. It’s like 5 hours long, but worth a watch if you’re interested: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAB-wWbHL7VvVT1LbcOIkqkowoZry6Rfd

Affirmative!

Getting rid of excess rupees is the real strength of the Malo Mart magic armour.

Hmm, this looked like a canyon to me at first blush, was it supposed to be a mountain?

I’m not much of an artist, but I’m an astronomy nerd, which means I’ve seen my fair share of photographed craters. Oftentimes, if the light is shining from the bottom of the image, craters look like mountains and vice-versa. So maybe some extra shading at the top for craters and at the bottom for mountains might help sell the illusion of depth?

It’s not as red as Palestine. Israel has been killing more journalists than the dark red countries combined, yet still gets to be medium red.

What the hell is this metric? Israel has been killing journalists in Palestine, but those stats mostly influence Palestine’s score, not Israel’s. 0 journalists killed in Israel, while true, hardly paints a correct picture of the situation… Basically, if you can export your journalistic suppression, you’re in the clear.

Ravens are equally close relatives, as are parrots.

Doesn’t make him not ace.

The aye-aye is also doing much better, mostly because the population size was severely underestimated at the time of writing.

And yeah, the book is amazing. I usually describe it to fans of his other works as somehow being his weirdest book, despite being non-fiction.

Weird comic, why put the punchline in the penultimate panel?

To be fair, based on the (lack of) spelling and grammar in his e-mails, that might actually be how he writes letters.

Haha! That one’s for the champion, where it should hopefully be a bit less of a surprise.

It’s just those 6. Keeping the list small was a deliberate choice to keep things manageable. These are just here to give some Gym Leaders a Pokémon not normally found in the wild in the hopes of making them a bit more interesting.

Ha, weird, thanks for pointing it out!

Also, a small heads up: the most recent version fixed an issue with TM25 Thunder which slipt in at some point. Some of the Pokémon sheets incorrectly showed it as available or unavailable.

And since nobody’s going to check this comment chain anyway, here, have some extra Pokémon:

These are part of a companion book I’m working on with a suggested gym for each of the 50 TMs and a couple of pre-designed regions.

They mean 4000 on a single day once per week, i.e. not just 4000 steps per week spread over multiple days.

It normally is just a copy, but I edit the dex file for small changes instead of doing a full copy since that’s a bit quicker, but yeah, I apparently didn’t actually change it in the main doc. Oops.

And yeah, Articuno is deliberate. I liked it taking up most of that page, and this way seemed like a neat way of not having to shrink it as much.

Happy to hear that! And I’m always happy with more bug reports (as long as they’re fixable). Yeah, Disable should be 1 hit.

I don’t notice the edge clipping on my copy of the Pokédex, but I could’ve accidentally uploaded an older version. It should be good now, I hope.

I’ve updated the document with some other minor changes as well. They’ve been in the doc for a bit now, but this seemed as good a time as any to actually implement them.

I don’t know of any television series, but Maple from Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages eventually swaps out her broom for a vacuum cleaner:
