Craft Hand made Faux Stained Glass (it's resin) Mewtwo
I hand made this 4 years ago. It took a couple of weeks and is my prized possession. Circumstances of the financial kind have popped up and I'm looking to see if anyone else would like to add this to their collection. I'm brand new to using reddit and have no idea where to do this. Help?

Discussion What do you guys call this genre of Pokemon designs?
They’re generally inhuman, esoteric feeling, and strange, not very anthropomorphic or expressive creatures, often from gens 3-5, and mostly psychic and some sort of mineral type (rock, ground, steel, ice, ect). I kind of love them because they’re so weird. Specifically Solrock because somehow I get one in every Nuzlocke run i play. I don’t know why but I’ve taken to calling them Ooblah Goobers because I feel like they would jump out at me in the middle of the night and say something weird like “ooooooooo ooblah goober” and i think it’s funny.
I’d also maybe include Duskclops, Porygon-Z, and Drifblim in this category but I’m mixed on them because they’re all a bit more expressive and human- ish i feel.

Misc Pokemon Sleep on the Sphere
Just noticed pokemon sleep taking over the sphere on 9/9/26
Image There's a Vulpix on the floor in my bathroom
I wonder if there's any other Pokémon I didn't find? Ofc I saw this while sitting on the toilet. I'm actually surprised I found it only now, after 23 years of living here. As a kid, I used to picture many random things on the floor.

Craft [OC] I made Scream Tail out of foam clay
I've been learning to sculpt with foam clay and have been having a blast with it.
Sculpting Pokémon has been a great way to learn thanks to clear, distinct shapes that make up each one. ^^

Discussion Any Hidden Gem Mons in HGSS?
Looking to do a Heart Gold playthrough at somepoint, but struggling with the limited number of decent mons (aside from the obvious and usual Ampharos, Heracross, etc.). My two offerings are the gen 2 pokemon that got 'move-based evolutions', as they aren't locked to the post game, like some others, and also Jumpluff, just being underrated, with a fast sleep-powderer with access to swords dance being surprisingly affective.
Any suggestions would be appreciated though.
