Explanation Pokémon are often described and compared to real life animals by characters and Pokédex entries.Substituting any instance of God with Arceus is also applicable here. Name substitutions Explanation It's very common to use Pokémon names in place of real-world names, especially in phrases known for animals (such as "until the Miltanks come home" or "blind as a Zubat").Given that fans have been pondering this question for a very long time, it was instantly joked how they were Leaning on the Fourth Wall addressing Pokémon logic in-universe. "After 23 years they start getting too self-aware?" Explanation The Journeys anime has Goh and Ash wondering why Dratini and Dragonair are blue and serpentine, but Dragonite is orange and bipedal and looks nothing like its pre-evolutions, with Gou even suggesting that Milotic would have made a more logical-looking final evolution.Explanation Due to Gardevoir, a human-like Pokémon, being in the Amorphorus Egg Group, it's able to breed with Pokémon such as Muk, Weezing, and Swalot, but (prior to Sword and Shield) isn't able to breed with other human-like Pokémon such as Alakazam or Machamp.

Explanation Kyurem can't learn Ice Punch, despite having arms encased in ice, while Gastly and Wooper can learn Ice Punch despite having no arms at all.This spawned jokes about how Nidoking and Nidoqueen can't breed but Skitty and Wailord can, or making pedophilia jokes about how Nidoking can breed with a female Nidoran. Nidoqueen had menopause Explanation Curiously, while Nidoran females can breed, Nidorina and Nidoqueen can't.Explanation Grapploct, an octopus that lives in the ocean, is a pure Fighting type, while one of Urshifu's two forms is a Fighting/Water type… for some reason. Ah yes, the elusive land octopus and the endangered undersea panda.This also applies to Pokémon such as the lake trio that are literally named after types of fairies in all languages, and Galarian Ponyta was in a similar boat before its Psychic/Fairy evolution was revealed. Like Charizard with dragons, Celebi is one of the most stereotypically fairylike Pokémon ever, but it remained Psychic/Grass-type when the Fairy type was introduced and it was retconned onto some older Pokémon, aside from the type containing some oddballs like Galarian Weezing, Kantonian Mr. ![]()

That would give me trouble on turns where there were a lot of actions. ![]() ![]() Before, I used dwell clicking, meaning I would hold my mouse in place for a moment for it to register a click. I have a foot pedal now that I didn’t have for my first few years of playing Hearthstone because it would hurt too much to use it all day. Q: How did you adapt that setup for Hearthstone?Ī: There were certain adjustments that I’ve had to make. The camera measures light that reflects off a sticker I put on my glasses, which lets me use small head motions to control my mouse. I also used an infrared camera, which people who have seen me play are more likely to have seen, since I don’t use the voice-to-text for Hearthstone. I couldn’t work without my hands, so I went to the disability counselors at my college and one thing they recommended was a voice-to-text program. Q: Hearthstone was compatible with a setup you already had at that time?Ī: Yeah, before I was a Hearthstone pro, I worked in insurance for 10 years. Then, once I started performing well, people suggested that I stream. As I started to get good, I started grinding ladder and competing in tournaments on Battlefy. was easy to operate with my disability equipment. I have a background in card games and the U.I.

In the pictures above, this foundation may look a bit too light for me. It has a very pretty finish and the wear time on this is great too. As you can see in this before and after picture, this foundation covers everything it needs to cover and still looks natural on the skin. I use less than a full pump and that is what makes for the best result. One thing I love about this foundation is how little of it I need to cover my full face. It is very shiny at first but once blended out, what is left is a pretty, natural glow. You can also clearly see here that it is has a very gel like texture. I wouldn’t call this foundation a medium coverage, but more like a light to buildable medium coverage. In this swatch you can see what the texture is like. Packaging gripes aside, what really matter is what this foundation does when you apply it to the skin. I hope mine is just a fluke and it’s not a regular thing. Luckily with this foundation I don’t need too much to be able to use it, so it’s not a huge deal but with a foundation this expensive I want everything to be perfect. I am not sure what is going on, but the pump feels cheap and not like it will last that long. The pump gets stuck the minute I press it. That was until I started pumping this foundation out. The outer box is nice and shiny and thus this foundation has all the looks and feels of a high end foundation. The bottle is made of glass and feels very luxurious. The packaging of this foundation feels very luxury but sadly I am a bit disappointed with the pump which is why I want to highlight this topic. The shade range was a touch confusing and I could only find this foundation online as there is no store near me that carries this. I purchased shade 130 N which is described as perfect for fair skin tones with a pink leaning neutral undertone. It comes in 50 shades and the line is divided into warm, cool and neutral undertones. It is gluten free, longwearing and suitable for senstive skin. It is supposed to have a medium coverage with a natural finish. This foundation is promoted as a hydrating, luminous foundation. Then again, that’s what happens to lots of ABH products over here, but I think it is good to know that this foundation can get quite expensive depending on where and when you purchase this foundation. That’s why I waited until I had a coupon to get some money off, because that mark up is just ridiculous. I have found this on US websites for around the €40 mark, but over here it retails at €48.99 full price. This foundation has a different price point depending on where you get it. Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous foundation 130 N So I had a giftcard and got this foundation with 25% off. Flash forward to a year later and I still couldn’t get this foundation out of my mind. ![]() At that time, I decided to try the Fenty Pro Filt’r hydrating foundation instead of this one because I thought this felt weirdly gel like. I had spotted it and ALMOST bought it during my New York City trip last year. ![]() A foundation that is often compared to? The Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous foundation and that I hadn’t yet tried.
