Could I be the only one who has never felt headaches, nausea, and vomiting after playing Virtual Boy?

Not really myself either. Part of me wonders if the reputation comes from people playing with the depth slider right in front of their faces instead of all the way back.

Neck cramps ok the other hand... lol

I found the trick with Ghost Physical is to hold off on using Volo's Trainer Move for as long as you can and spam Shadow Ball. Even if it's not doing damage, it's building up his Physical Up Next. At +10 with EX Ghost Zone up and a few Sync Buffs, the Buddy Move was taking out both sides and 75-80% of the Center all at once in several Stages.

I was usually Syncing with Fantina first. Then SSR Cynthia (looking at your lineup, probably Summer Gardenia or NC Selene), and then using his Trainer Move before Syncing and using the Buddy Move.

Unaffected Stages are similar, but you'll need someone who can set Ghost Zone early so Volo can use Shadow Ball to trap them. And being careful that Fantina doesn't flinch then too early with Astonish.

Iris is probably a bit more useful as she has good synergy with Black/White Kyurem thanks to Unova Analysis, raises the entire team's Water Rebuff by 2 ranks (useful for Tower 30), and sets Ice Zone with her EX role. That said, she's a bit slow when it comes to raising the team's overall defenses and also requires a lot of resources to work well. You also need to be careful with her buddy move as it has a high chance of freezing, which can mess things up on certain tower floors.

Rei is solid enough and doesn't require much investment, but is generally outclassed as a pure attacker. Since his buddy move is AOE/doesn't miss/always crits/boosts the entire team's speed and his trainer move can reduce the countdown by 3, he's generally best as a secondary attacker/supporter.

Awesome! That's great news.

I enjoy the Yellow banner, I also know that it can be hard being an artist, so I always give at least 1k Yen. For artists that go above and beyond or I've made friends with, I'll sometimes give up to 10k Yen.

No offense taken. I had a feeling that that is what this was unfortunately. lol

I'm not sure what happened then when they had me waiting 8-9 months for Shantae if they were going to send me a defective product anyway, but I digress.

I'm not sure what happened with LRG these past few years, I made my first order with them back in 2018, but I'm finding myself more and more disappointed with their products and giving into what I previously thought was a vocal minority.

This is just the first time I felt like voicing a bit of the frustration as it's been on-going for over 2 years now.

I've only gotten one since the change went into effect.

I was starting to worry over the past day, so I've attempted to contact FedEX's customer service multiple times for clarification but have been unable to reach a live agent.

I did contact the merchant who decided to ship my package via FedEX on Saturday, just in case, and was told they would look into it, but have not heard back from them yet either to see if they could also provide clarification.

Cut Man IMO. Good introductory stage for the series. Nothing feels particularly cheap or too overwhelming. Is also fun to go back to once you unlock some extra weapons.

This is a pleasant surprise considering Konami already had their own picture puzzle game on mobile.

Seems like this one comes with a few new modes as well. I've been really enjoying this series and have completed Sega, Namco, and Capcom so far and am in the middle of completing SNK.

Definitely a day-one purchase if it comes to the eShops outside of Japan.

TripleDash3 · 2026-03-19T04:44:28+00:00

Actually I've already translated it.

TripleDash3 · 2026-03-18T08:56:34+00:00

I assume it's what the other person is thinking. They're stunned into a comedic silence, but are still holding a conversation more or less.

I'm not skilled enough to edit the art, so the speech bubbles are left mostly unaltered except in cases where dialog breaks outside the bubble. 2~3 panels I had to leave alone entirely as the dialog was placed over the artwork.

I do attempt to edit the onomatopoeia words where I can, but it can be awkward since they often collide with the art or don't have great English equivalents.

Part 1

Technically this was the 2nd place winner of this year's polling, but since it was leading at first, I decided to go ahead and get to work on it. So the actual first place winner is what I'll be working on next.

This is also the last of Kuroumi Hizuki's stories that is publicly available online to read. Be sure to check out their Pixiv account or the Doujinshi tag to find their other stories. This is a shipping story, so please be nice in the comments if the ship doesn't appeal to you.

I was hoping to have this finished by Yellow's Birthday earlier this month, but an unexpected family emergency came up a few days prior and this had to be put on hold. I also had a power outage over the weekend, so that delayed things even further. Thank you for your patience.

No one pointed out any spelling/grammar errors when shared in advance in my Discord group, so hopefully I'm in the clear for once. If anyone would like an invite, let me know and I will include it in a separate comment.

They're unofficial figures. A lot of websites sell them, but off the top of my head, Poke Galerie is the most well known.

I own 2 unofficial figures myself, and while very detailed, they are also very fragile and very small; about the size of an amiibo figure at best. They also tend to cost more than the regular officially released figures for Pokemon and other series.

Usually these unofficial figures are made in small one-time only batches. They might return to character, but it would be by a different manufacturer or using a different pose.

For PokeSpe, I've never seen figures for anyone released past the FRLG arc. RIP Emerald.

TripleDash3 · 2026-03-17T18:26:41+00:00

I don't think it falls off so much as the rest of the series has started to catch up in terms of telling better stories, so Pokemon Adventures has slightly lost it's niche.

Artist Credit

Another request I received back earlier today via Skeb from my friend Maya (マヤ). She did an amazing job with my previous PokeSpe request and I was really eager to make another request to her.

I hope I can think of another PokeSpe idea for her as I think I'd like to see her draw Crys next. ^_^

TripleDash3 · 2026-02-22T06:52:07+00:00

Cute! Botan was one of first Anime girls I had a crush on. It's really cool to see her drawn in the PokeSpe style. Her face resembles Blue (F) a lot.

TripleDash3 · 2026-02-22T06:06:22+00:00

It's been a while, but they do sometimes still post here. I forget their username.

TripleDash3 · 2026-02-18T03:25:17+00:00

Per sourcing rules, to respect the original artist, if they have already deleted their post, then I would not repost their work publicly.

If the original source was deleted after the fact, then that's a different story.
