2年ちょっと前、ポケムーバーGBの日本語訳をしてもいいのかなとGearsに連絡した。様々な理由で数回もテキストエンジンには作り直しが必要だったが、最終的に出来た！ベータ版、よろしくお願いします So just over two years ago I contacted Gears and asked if I could maybe translate PTGB into Japanese. The text engine needed to be rewritten a few times for various reasons, but we got there in the end

10 months really flew by, didn’t it?? I am SO incredibly proud of what this team has been able to pull off in that time, and I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people on that team. This project has gone far beyond what I ever expected, and yet we still have so many plans! Here’s to v1.4.0!

Creating the mb_adv - Part 3
Hello world! This is my personal website! ^~^

#My9Games Shoutout to my digital logic class in college where everyone started looking at each other when the professor started talking about comparators like “wait the Minecraft block is a real thing???” Genuinely owe my engineering skills to growing up with that game
since a lot of people wanted to shiny hunt channel jirachi with the mb_adv, i made a homebrew recreation of the channel jirachi distributor that doesn't rely on the gamecube ^^ github.com/aestellic/Po...
50 years ago today it was time to play the music, it was time to light the lights. Happy birthday to the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational MUPPET SHOW!
Who remembers the Pokémon Dream World? The service ended on January 14th, 2014, but a group has been doing their best to restore it. If you ever used the Dream World, and still have that same working PC/Laptop or hard drives, please read this! projectpokemon.org/home/index/a...
Help awaken the Pokémon Dream World!
On January 14th, 2014, the dreams of Pokémon Trainers all over the world were lost. This was the day that Generation V's 'Dream World' was shut down for good. For those unfamiliar, the Dream World was...

That all being said- PTGB is still moving forward of course. I’m devastated that the coolest aspect of it has been slashed (at least for now, hopefully the community can figure out something), but there’s still something to be said about linking Gen 1/2 to Gen 3 to have them reach 5/6/7.
The Gears of Progress@gearsprogress.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis… sucks. Like even after thinking about it for an hour, I can’t think of any other way to say it. It just plain sucks. I’m so sorry it has taken so long to get Poke Transporter GB up and running to what we want it to be. We have so many cool ideas for the future. I thought we had more time.

Congrats to Klang for escaping the bottom 6 in July #KlangGang
Bulbapedia@bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net · 2mo agoReady for the most and least visited Pokémon articles from the month of July? Looks like some all-time fan faves have swept the top 6!
Took a break from Splatoon Raiders to do a little more Safari hunting- and I’m glad I did!! Found my first *ever* Safari Zone shiny, RessesPuff the Natu after 1638 encounters!!
Got 1200 encounters done tonight before I had to call it- hoping I can find some more time to hunt before Safari Week ends! Very rude of Nintendo to release Splatoon Raiders the same weekend as Safari Week smh my head
If you’re multi hunting in 8192 and 4096 games at the same time, do you increase your count twice for the 4096 game since it has twice the odds Like I have 8 8192 games and 2 4096 games- do I increase my counter by 10 or by 12? 🤔🤔🤔
Guys aren’t you so sad you don’t get to hear this amazing cacophony
The Gears of Progress@gearsprogress.bsky.social · 3mo ago> 98% dropped frames Yeah chat uh I think my internet is not doing so hot rn
Going live again for some Safari Week hunting!! 1000% more shiny encounters than Monday lol www.twitch.tv/thegearsofpr...

The Gears of Progress@gearsprogress.bsky.social · 3mo agoI’ve caught the shiny hunting bug again, whoops- would anyone be interested in a livestream that’s shiny hunting + Transporter GB development? I’ve got a bunch of game revisions to test for PTGB v1.3.0, a Safari to Zone, and some HGSS starters to soft reset for 🙃

(Still trying to stay off social media to avoid leaks BUT) Shiny hunting friends- what do you usually use to count encounters when you’re out and about? I really want to start getting into hunting here and there, but it’s inconvenient to have to use my phone as a counter
Well, it’s that time of the release cycle again where I (attempt to) jump off of social media to avoid spoilers for the upcoming Pokemon games I will absolutely be back to announce PTGB releases and stuff (maybe even sooner than you’d think), but if I don’t reply to stuff, that’s why! 🫡

Breaking my Pokémon content to show my theme park side for a minute- I went on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets (thank you Joe from Legal) for the first time today, and as an avid Muppet fan, I am torn and wanted to give my thoughts- Thread time!
I made shiny hunting better in all of the mainline Gen 1 games through the power of glitches! You can shiny hunt wild Pokemon! You can see a wild mon's sparkles! And you can see if a Pokemon is shiny on the summary screen! No mods or patches required :> More info: github.com/aestellic/BB...
I Added A Randomizer to FireRed on Nintendo Switch New video! AND box names for how to recreate this randomizer on your switch out now yahoo!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yFG...
Ayyy, only 28 eggs in at 1/64 odds- not bad!! Gonna transfer this guy up for my M-A Champions team!
The urge to make a Python tool for converting images into Bluetooth controller inputs for Tomodachi Life’s drawing tool is *so* strong but the image drawing optimization algorithms sound horrible to have to figure out (and I already have like 3 projects already whoops) BUT IT WOULD BE SO COOL
