oh im going to lose it. back in the day for diamond and pearl, they made remote control toys of pokemon where the controller was a pokeball with two buttons thatd either make it go forward or spin, and i know i owned one of darkrai but it wouldve long since been lost/sold, so i went to see if anyone had one i could buy and. theres no evidence this toy ever existed. help i know im not going crazy. he had a cloudy design base over the wheels, and simple little swivel joints in his arms (i remember bc id pose them to make him reach forward threateningly before making him zip full speed into awaiting "normal" pokemon figurines lol)

when people talk about sharing things they like with their parents and the parents enjoying it with them, that just sounds fake to me. surely parents are all programmed to call all of their childrens interests gross and dumb and pointless, right?
