I was about to say, I would dare argue that her being able to manipulate and control others would make her an amazing president, able to deal with dangerous threats with witchy powers.

That may be what it was yeah. I remember also when Shiny Gold did come out a few others were released based off it too.

Sadly I do not, I apologize! This was back in 2004-2005. I just remember it was based off Firered and was done around the same time people made the global warming Firered version that I played a lot of.

I remember during the "eternity" in between Gen 3 and 4 sprite-work had started becoming popular as had tilemap-work, with the common words being decolors and recolors, decolors being taking the newer sprites and remaking them for an older style, while the recolors was the opposite direction. I remember on TRSrockin, Lugia's Den, and Mewthree's Domain learning tutorials on this, and even having contests for it.

Fast forward to 2006 and people were making romhacks of Johto in Firered and Ruby, but also trying to make Hoenn in Gold, and some even so far as to try making Johto in Red. It was not perfect, but it was enjoyable. I even got into the fun of it too, having a lot of fun making romhacks. One such I remember distinctly involved a Tyranitar on the main screen, and was based in Gen 2, and was honestly phenomenal to play.

Needless to say, the difference I found in my life between the games officially made, and the fangames was that the fangames were not limited by policies of the company, and were only limited by the technology, and the passion of the creator or sometimes creators. Today we live in a modern world, with such projects as Pokemon Red KEP truly exemplifying that spirit with the limitless power of the decomp projects and community.

I have heard a lot of good about it, and am glad to hear that it is well-deserved. I may make time to watch it in time myself.

You call me a youth, I'm only 29, and have been biking at night since I was 19.

100%, the world is better at night. I am aware where I live there are more dangers, I have had to push myself to go as fast as I could in the past to get away from some people who were out at night, but the majority of the time I have found that the night-life is the best time to go out.

I have never heard of this before, very interesting.

Thank you! Where I am we should get that still, so I think it will be good to experiment at least!

 

Hello everyone,

As the title said, I am looking at starting some okra from seeds, but wanted to know if I am too late in the season to start, or if I am good for where I am?

I will be growing the okra in large containers specifically, but I could do raised beds if that would be better.
