oh snowy, that is one of the questions. but what if i told you the answer... was inside you!
thats right. that's why i said it (its right). remember YOU are ash. or red. red is also ash is also you. so ask yourself- what are your motivations? then you will find the answer you seek (or maybe not if you don't know why you make the choices you make that's also fine for these purposes)
anyway- some BAD new though- new schedule will probably be late 2027. I fear I will be racing against Christmas. I'll post more on this on New Years, but Misty's gym is already completely done, I'm working on what i'll call "post-game," branching path type stuff. 15 endings? or more. its a lot. its going to take a bit. but i am going fast and i definitely DEFINITELY dont want this going on into 2028. i will hate myself so very much. thats the hard FINISH IT deadline. but we'll probably be pushing end 2027. i am working as fast as I can, I know people are waiting! thanks for your continued interest i am trying not to disappoint!
