So this was supposed to be the day I drew something for that dumb Mario animation idea I had in my head, but I have now become hooked on Pokémon

It's funny because although Pokémon was everywhere around me in child-hood, I had surprisingly never indulged in the series as a kid outside of the anime series (and a ton of Dorkly videos). That changed a few days ago when my friends (devoted Pokémon fans) noticed me recently being interested and recommended Pokémon Black for my first game, and to be sincere, I'm having such a blast!

The first 2 gyms were admittedly a little rusty because I the systems of Pokémon took a little while of getting used to, i.e., not immediately killing every creature you see, but once the 3rd gym kicked in, that's when the fun truly began!

My current intentions is to record my playthrough of the game and compile it into small episodes for my friends and other people to watch. Suffice to say I've already poured a fuck-ton of hours into the game, so I have some work to do...

Congratulations Pokémon, you have a new fan!
