yearly check-in, you alright? managed to stave off the endless void for another year? kept the children from agglomerating into a single all-powerful super-child and devouring the sky?
also: angry bird, annoying dog, or gex
look, when we allowed the children to agglomerate it was strictly for purposes of fending off a kaiju attack and they promptly and calmly dissolved back into their individual forms afterwards; I AM TIRED OF GETTING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS
Anyway. I am still getting settled in my new career, and still working on my long-delayed PhD in my spare time, but I am also making plans for my eventual return. I have a “hi I’m back” series planned that I hope will be strange and confusing, although I’m not sure what comes after that. Part of me thinks I should solicit suggestions. But on the other hand, as I said once a few years ago, I think maybe all I’ve ever really wanted to do is write weird bull$#!t that no-one asked for. So that’ll be the north star, probably.
anyway you know I am a Grass-type loyalist; all of you know this. And given the Pacific-adjacent setting of the promised generation 10, might the angry bird evolve into something resembling a moa, the long-lost avian megafauna of my glorious homeland? It MIGHT and I am on board for even the sliver of this possibility.
Pokémaniacal 
Incidentally, given that water areas have historically been some of Pokémon’s most boring and least developed, I am quite fascinated by the implication that Wind & Waves are going to give significantly more screentime to marine environments than previous generations have. I think Subnautica pretty well proved that you can make what is, in some respects, kind of a Pokémon game set primarily in the ocean, and I doubt Wind & Waves will go that far, but there is definitely room to explore and I’m excited to see what they do with it.

I’m glad to hear the comeback is on the horizon! I know it’s awkward to hear from an anonymous stranger, but I’ve been following your work since I was in elementary school during the Blogspot days, and it’s always exciting to see an update from you.
Out of curiosity, is the “I’m back” series going to be on Pokémon, or something else? The post about “weird shit” gestures towards an interest in branching out, and your work has been leaning more and more into producing things using Pokémon than being something about Pokémon for a while now. I understand if you don’t want to spoil it or lock yourself down; whatever it is, I’m looking forward to it!

What I have planned now is a Pokémon thing, but I do want to branch out as well in future. Some sort of balance.
Thank you for that comment – I’m always touched to hear there are people who’ve kept interest in what I do for so long. I like to think I’ll justify it in the future!
