Photo of a small sign sporting Pulseman artwork (possibly by Ken Sugimori), posted somewhere in the Game Freak headquarters over a printer. Because the blog author cannot read a lick of Japanese, she has no idea what this says. Feel free to reply or reblog if you have a translation?
This is too blurry for me, but I think it says “電源は必ず切って下さい (please always turn off the power)”.
Whoops, sorry for missing this reply. (Stuff on this blog gets buried real easily…)
Mystery solved!
And awwww, Pulse trying to remind people to save energy by turning off equipment/devices when they’re not using them (he’s even holding a plug in the picture). For someone who prefers to stay in the network all the time, I didn’t have him pegged as someone who cared that much about people in the human world being energy efficient. He does care about the ecology. (But then what decent person doesn’t?)
Is no one gonna mention that Remoraids Beta design was just a gun??
Nintendo???
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW, THOUGH
My entire life I NEVER understood why they made a fish that evolved into an octopus.
With their beta designs though, they’re still unrelated animals, but they’re linked in that they’re both based on aquatic creatures known for shooting something (water and ink, respectively).
Remoraid is a gun and Octillary is a cannon.
REMORA-RAID AND OCTOPUS-ARTILLARY
Fuck
This old image makes a lot more sense now!
someone’s favourite Pokemon is literally just gun.
oh hey time to show I’m still relevant!
Not to mention that the only other enemy exclusive to Pulseman’s Australia stage is a red octopus-shaped floating mine:
A Midnight Walk Through the Neon-Hued Streets of Asian Cities by Marcus Wendt
While on a recent trip through Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Seoul, London-based photographer Marcus Wendt found himself suffering from a bout of jetlag induced insomnia and ended up wandering the streets of several cities late at night. With a camera in-hand he captured these mesmerising shots that channel the cyberpunk vibe of movies like Bladerunner where narrow urban alleys are bathed in cool ultraviolet light. Over several days Wendt worked his way through the Kowloon area of Hong Kong and then Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei area known for its sprawling electronics market, before eventually traveling to Seoul.
And the best part about this technology is that it’s open source, meaning you can build one yourself from the blueprints that are available for anyone to download.
