Our original Jessie and Misty, Rachael Lillis, has sadly lost her battle to cancer and passed away Saturday. May she rest in peace. 😔

Edit, even the official English Twitter posted on her death:

Dreaming of Good Times

A wonderful Pokemon chinese animated short film directed by DaiWei (All Saints Street) and produced by MTJJ / HMCH studio (Legend of Hei) for Chinese New Year.

If you have a Torterra, you have a walking garden!

Firstly, you have that tree! All Torterras have some form of ‘tree’, although it is not necessarily always a deciduous type, and it is a vital part of their body and natural systems as it developed from the sprout on their head as a Turtwig- but that doesn’t mean you can’t prune it into attractive shapes if your Pokemon is otherwise healthy!

And a healthy Torterra is very capable of supporting extra plantlife on its shell; after all, once it’s integrated into the Pokemon’s system, extra greenery means extra energy from photosynthesis. It happens naturally in the wild, so if you don’t plant things on there, floating seeds or other Grass-types or Pokemon like Skwovet will do the job for you! Putting a plant that’s struggling on a Torterra’s shell for a bit can even help it recover, since it then benefits from the Pokemon’s immune system and nutrients!

You can even, believe it or not, grow some food crops on a Torterra, although intensive food gardening is generally not recommended as it can affect soil quality and drain resources. Plus, there’s not that much space! But a small berry bush can be a lovely addition, and some Torterra will even naturally produce fruit!

Thank You Ash and Pikachu! You two were and always will be the pinnacle of my childhood. I loved watching you go from a Rookie Team to World Champions and Saviors. I learned so much from you two.
