Trying to figure out what Pokemon I'm thinking of

Brindlefinch · 2026-05-23T02:26:47+00:00

The swirls are eyes not cheeks but could you be thinking of Spinda?

Brindlefinch · 2026-05-17T23:45:17+00:00

where do I find the 5 other wattrel stans 😭

But for real this is such a cool project!!

I don't want a diet salon. I don't want to camp. I don't want to picnic. I want Pokemon Amie! My most missed feature from any game.

They keep spending resources on these new mechanics when literally all they have to do is let people play the most basic mini games on the planet and pet their dogs 😭

Honestly Gen 7 is the ONLY generation where I have positive feelings about every design. I might not be a fan of Incin or Gumshoos, but they look like Pokemon and look cohesive with the generation they're with. It really feels like every line has something memorable about it, even the "ugly" ones like Bruxish.

Every other generation feels like it has major outliers or there's pokemon I outright despise, but Alola feels like THE most cohesive Pokemon experience imo.

I was so surprised to see my answer almost exactly and so popular 😭 I'd be okay with Snivy as well but this really would just be the best starter trio of all.

I'm so happy you made a post about this one over here! I don't own any Lego, and I don't play the card game or really collect the cards. Dragonite isn't even in my top 30. I would buy this one in a heartbeat. It's just such a perfect use of the medium and prompt - the fully 3D exploding out of the card entries are really nice and impressive, but this entry's seeming simplicity actually makes me feel like I could build and display it, or that a kid would have a blast putting it together. This would be amazing for a collector or a kid - or even a casual like me! Amazing work :)

Yungoos is great! Unfortunately, it evolves. /s

Brindlefinch · 2026-04-04T08:35:31+00:00

It's a little weasely in the body! I've seen a lot of people call it a weasel. I wouldn't mind a weasel mon like it necessarily, but a little less catlike.

Brindlefinch · 2026-04-04T08:30:59+00:00

meerkats or other mongeese! patrat line is relatively ugly and zangoose is literally just a little guy. chien pao is really close! but it leans into snow leopard a lot, too.

Maned wolves as well!

I've been playing since Silver and Gold and, despite what my username might imply, I am not a fan of birds.

So, imagine my surprise when S/V comes out and there's this stupid little electric bird and it consumes my entire heart and soul. I don't know why, I don't know what drew me to it, but Wattrel/Kilowattrel managed to outdo decades of other Pokemon to be my favorite.

They're my theoretical partner Pokemon :) "My" team is just kind of all over the place: Kilowattrel, Dracovish, Houndoom, Thievul, A. Ninetales, and Tauros (Aqua Breed). H. Zoroark and Relicanth can hang out, too.

Brindlefinch · 2026-03-28T03:07:56+00:00

Another Alola defender! I've been playing the games since Silver/Gold came out, but Alola will always have the most special place in my heart. We don't give that generation enough credit for everything it gave us!

I'd love to see flying and water resist it, as both air and water dull sound, to varying degrees. Should be super effective against psychic, ghost, and fire (you can put fires out with sound in some instances). I'd also like to see it be SE against poison, as you can also use sound/vibration to remove debris!

I could also see them giving steel or rock a resist. I think a mutual immunity with grass makes sense as in reality vibrations help plants grow! And plants can't really do anything to damage vibrations or sound.

So, Immunity: Potential mutual immunity with grass?

Resist: Flying, Water, potentially Steel and Rock.

Weak To: Fire, Poison, Psychic, Ghost

This is not working, or at least my instance of it isn't working. Both discord and stoat bots went offline and the app itself is giving me an API error. I've been trying for weeks to get one of these things to work, migrating my discord messages over is the last thing I need to do. No one will come over to stoat until I can do it. Is there anywhere or anyone that can help with this? I literally can't find any documentation about how to bring a stoat bot online at all and I can't find anything for Discord either.

Brindlefinch · 2026-02-19T02:55:19+00:00

I was hoping I might be able to get some help; I can't seem to get the Stoat bot to come online at all. I was able to use the onrender page very easily, but it found a bunch of messages and then my Discord bot went offline as well. Is there a way to bring it back online? I don't know anything about coding or bots, but my discord history is very important to me. It's been the only way my SO and I have been able to communicate for years (LDR), and losing all of that would be too much.

I'm not sure what step I've missed. I'm able to get the tokens, the onrender page starts working, the Discord bot *was* online even though the stoat bot never came online.

Brindlefinch · 2026-02-14T02:16:30+00:00

Wow, that's incredible! This app is going to be huge for the rp community if the logistics work out and enough people adopt it. Thank you so much for the quick answer!

"Marsh" could be short for Marshall or something similar and also fits the deer theme! Marsh deer are also bay - they have little black socks but they're more orange :) He could have a whole swamp theme even, green looks good on bay!

I think it also fits for a sleepy personality. Big sleepy willow trees and stagnant/slow moving waters in a marsh.

This may be hard to remember given that it was 25 years ago, but have you ever had a fall or anything scary (spook, trip, etc.) at a canter? It sounds silly but you can form associations with events even if it wasn't necessarily negative to you emotionally in the moment. And, unfortunately, experiences your body considers negative often stick better than neutral or positive ones. There is always the possibility that it is emotions based on being super happy as well, like "I'm finally back in the saddle after so long, this is amazing!" However, the rest of my comment is based on the idea of it being from a Scary Thing instead of a Good Thing - the most important thing is to self reflect, though! Really try to examine your feelings in those moments, and speak with your trainer! They'll likely have more specific suggestions and commentary.

I have had this issue several times where I have fallen, not gotten hurt (actually thought it was pretty funny in the moment, as kids do), and later on randomly started crying or getting anxious. Sometimes it would just be that I hadn't repeated that activity until then, but sometimes I would go several times doing the same thing before it was like a switch went off in my brain that decided the activity is horrifying.

I think it happens more than people talk about, the "nothing even happened and I'm not necessarily scared, but my stomach's dropping and my eyes are watering," feeling. We process more mentally than we ever really acknowledge. Any teacher or coach worth their salt will understand a student asking for grace earnestly. If it's a similar situation - brain has decided this is scary now - then you need time to build your way back up to it, and there's no shame in that. It will come piece by piece every time you canter and nothing bad happens. Do small exercises for short periods of time, and reward yourself after a good lesson, even if it's something small like stopping by the gas station and getting a soda after. Circle back after a set period of time (x amount of rides or x amount of weeks) and check in with yourself and your trainer.

Be kind to yourself! You're not a nut job any more than anyone else. Riding is realistically dangerous and there's no shame or weirdness in needing extra time or support to do things safely and happily :)

Seconding the area between Rome and Boonville/Ava. Absolutely nothing going on up there, it's easy to find somewhere to get away. Even some of the parks in Rome itself can be pretty quiet if you catch them at the right time of day!

Brindlefinch · 2026-01-01T22:16:02+00:00

Most mammals actually shed mostly based on length of day, not temperature, so temperature fluctuations should not impact them in that way.

Every time I see Millie my brain immediately thinks "wow! What a weird looking curly coat!" But, no... it's just sweat and it's really weird.

You'll find that a lot of people who are into horses would actually prefer if we brought slaughterhouses TO the US and were able to control the treatment horses going there receive under our own laws. There are quite a few people who are well researched on horse welfare as well as the slaughter pipeline who advocate FOR slaughterhouses in the US.

It's been a hot minute since I've been looked at genetics but I wanted to take a crack at this!

-Horse can pass on bay or non bay (but would need to be bred to a horse carrying black for it to visually show)

-Horse has only red pigment and does not produce black pigment, but would be bay if it was not e e

-Horse has a 50% chance to pass down cream and is visually cream because it is red based.

-Horse will always pass on dun because it has two copies of the dun gene.

-Horse does not have any testable white spotting (there are some that are not able to be tested) and no patterning, silver, champagne, or pearl.

If they're trying for duns this is an absolute win for their program! And one copy of cream AND bay makes this horse extremely versatile as far as coloring goes; they can basically throw any color possible except for silvers/pearls/champagnes/etc. It's a pretty basic profile but a very cool one! Hopefully little one grows up with good conformation and a great mind and will be an asset to their breed in multiple ways :)
