PKMN & Rainy Resources

PKMN & rainy resources

It’s raining again, & Sora’s in a reading mood (I like how her eye markings look like glasses, hehe).

So, I don’t have much of a mind for science (I share Ansy’s weakness to numbers lol), but I do find it interesting! Sora could probably tell me everything I’d want to know about meteorology (she’s originally from Hoenn’s esteemed Weather Institute after all), but for now, here are some things I’ve found helpful for the casual weather fan 🌧️

The book she’s reading (“Cloud Spotting” by Pocket Nature) is a good start: this is the first weather book I owned which combines cloud facts with mindfulness. One fact that’s been on my mind lately is the fact that most weather happens only 7 miles (11.2654 km) up - mind blowing when people drive more than that in a day! I guess one way to think about it is “something that looks out of reach might be closer than you think” ☁️

NOAA (National Weather Service) - Stands for the “National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration” the best place to follow the forecast in my country. While certain folks would like to limit this resource, it would be a great disservice, especially with Hurricane Helene currently blowing through the southeast (& I just learned might reach me a little with some storms - thanks NOAA!). ☔️

MinuteEarth - An offshoot of “MinutePhysics” (quick animations teaching physics stuff in a way that even I could follow!), MinuteEarth teaches bite-sized lessons on earth sciences, including weather, & sometimes Pokémon cameos! Some of their fun rainy videos include “How Mushrooms Make it Rain”, “What Came First: The Rain or Rainforests?”, & my personal favorite, “Why Doesn’t All Thunder Sound the Same?” (if you watch it, look for Zapdos!) ⛈️

Even if you have trouble following the technical aspects of a science like me doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. I don’t think there’s any shame in learning at the pace you learn, or in the way you learn. The important thing is that you learn! 📖🌧️

a verrry little passenger

Note: I'm a 1997 baby, so obviously my choices are largely influenced by what was popular when I was in school - and what was popular with my friend group.

DxP REWRITE - Chapter 2

Ha, I was gonna leave this minimalist like the last one, but then an idea struck - small reference to the silly chibi sprites you get in BDSP, hehe. 🩵

Hold up. Childhood friend Rayqauza? I mean cool, but I feel like I'm missing something?

Lol, so Ikrit’s home region is Hoenn, & while we started his timeline with Sapphire, it was more like Emerald. 🐉☁️

He has a similar close relationship with Rayquaza as Ansy does Reshiram. It’s that closeness that helped him work together with them to bust the meteoroid containing Deoxys years later as an adult (he was dating Ansy at the time, taking her to visit his home region - then the Delta Episode happened lol).

*For more context, this is what the Asker was asking about lol:

DxP REWRITE - Rivalry

I mean, in game “Emmet” was Ansy’s rival, so I had to have a good reason why. Testing your friend‘s skill to see whether she truly can help your twin brother seems reasonable.

Also, yeah - the way Galar’s “Elite 4” is formatted (tournament style), there can only be one Champion every year, & Ansy couldn’t have beaten Ikrit. After that first journey together, Ansy had made some improvement, largely thanks to Ikrit (aka the mister taught me about actual strategy lol, where I used to just breeze through the games without really considering stats, STAB, natures, etc).

But Emmet doesn’t know that. Yet.
