I am a glutton for punishment

I started on the pokemon card assignment and thought, “That example isn’t really a pokemon card. Let’s see what the cards look like nowadays… SNAP. No, not going to do that. Too complicated.”

Too complicated? TOO COMPLICATED?!?

Hah! I wound up getting most of the pokedex entry done, apart from the description. Then I thought, “Why not make it a GIF? It’s only animating text. How bad can it be?

Moves:

Analyze
Test
Squeak
Apocalypse

Moves:

Mutter
Dig
Disorienting Stare
Confusion

Here’s my attempt at it. Fortunes
