Cyndaquil (plus Quilava and Typhlosion) will always have a special place in my heart. I started with gen 1, but something about silver really grabbed me so Cyndaquil was really the first Pokemon I had an attachment to.

While Sword/Shield had a lot of flaws, they gave me Toxtricity, who rocks. Literally! Using Boomburst while he “strums” the “strings” on his chest and annihilates my enemies… He’s a new favorite of mine. Also I like to sing System of a Down’s “Toxicity” when I use him in battle which really aggravates anyone who happens to be around when I play

It could be how you’re searching - I always pull the full link (https://lemmy.robotra.sh/c/springfieldil) and put that in the search. It looks like you should be able to do the same, as I was able to reach the community this way.

I would try to remember that we are in fact trying to form a safe space here which does include a number of cis men. I don’t want to invalidate your experiences at all, because some people are shitty people and as humans we tend to notice patterns, but your initial comment was rather callous toward people who haven’t done anything wrong.

That said, I appreciate this elaboration and clarification of your intent. When it’s always the same kind of people knocking you down, it can be hard not to make an immediate judgment of someone who has similar qualities and I can understand where you’re coming from even if I don’t agree. If every cat I ever met scratched me, the friendliest cat in the world is going to be viewed with suspicion. Just please try to remember that generalizations like that aren’t really nice to those they are directed at.

That’s amazing, she’s going to be glorious
