Ooh this reminds me of getting almost every pokemon, one from each family, just had a little level grinding and breeding to do, all on AS, before my 3DS died and I lost all of it due to Nintendo's bonkers save protections. I had the SD card for the longest time. Haven't made a catch em all attempt since.

It has been jarring getting to your dad's gym and finding out
Tap for spoiler
He's the furry type gym leader, though no one will say it to you out loud. And he has a lopunny, and a vaporeon, and his lucario has bone rush... Is this why he lives in a different town than you and mom? Oh no furry is weak to dragon type? Oh no....
I've been playing Pokemon Too Many Types, a rom hack of emerald that triples the number of types and gives each pokemon new typing, up to three types per pokemon. It's a lot of fun to try and figure out the brainrot logic. For example, gamer type pokemon are weak to water and grass, because they don't shower or touch grass, probably. Freshens everything up and pulls in quite a few pokemon from further in the series. Starters are poplio, a water/silly type, fennekin, a fire/fluffy type, and chikorita, a grass/bean type.
It's a beautiful mess.
For me, the hottest trend has always got to be ADULT TOYS
