It's so shady that this guy in Celadon realizes how stupid gambling is, so he divests himself of his Coin Case by giving it to a random child. That's definitely sending some questionable messages.

 My buddy and accomplice in space humor Chris Lintott is Gresham Professor of Astronomy, and his running joke throughout his lectures is trying to start fights with the audience about whether or not Pluto is a planet (although I did once call him out on it during the Q&A and made him answer for his shenanigans in front of everyone, because that's what friends do). (For the record, he and I both believe that Pluto is awesome no matter what the IAU decides to call it.) So I just couldn't resist doodling New Horizons having this same debate with Pluto itself.

The irony, of course, is that New Horizons was a flyby mission, so it won't get to talk to Pluto later. Or ever.

 If you're a criminal organization, it's just a really bad idea to establish a prominent business right in the middle of town with the name of your organization in the name of the business.

Wait, new fan theory: the police are corrupt and actually letting Team Rocket do whatever they want, and Red is a lone vigilante trying to bring justice to a lawless Kanto.

They already used that idea for Pokémon Colosseum, though.

 Fight the system! Are we gonna let the Man bring us down, or are we gonna get our rover back?!

... I'm glad Chris Lintott enjoys my bonkers sense of humor.

 Poké Dolls are perfect items for escaping from both wild Pokémon and enraged significant others.

 There are some Pokémon that make socializing a little more difficult when you've got them in tow.

Also, I had a lot of fun making that Koffing extra derpy. He's just living his best life as an animated floating toxic gas mine.

 Finishing up Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and I feel like the story gets a lot better as you get further in the game (and Naveen is still kind of obnoxious, but huge props to the writers for having his dynamic with the player character develop realistically). Although it started a little slow and clunky on the story side of things, Legends: Z-A is a super fun game that makes some sleek improvements on the formula introduced with Legends: Arceus, and I kind of just want Legends to be the actual core series from now on (especially after Scarlet and Violet were so underwhelming).

Aaaaaaanyway. Every time a Pokémon uses Struggle Bug, this is all I can think of. I kinda want a t-shirt of this now. We all have days like this, feeling like a level 2 early-route Pokémon whom people won't stop throwing Poké Balls at.
