Every time this comes up, someone immediately goes: “Well, WE shower, so we don’t need a bidet.”

Yeah. So do we.

Italians don’t use the bidet instead of showering. We shower at the beginning/end of the day like normal human beings. The bidet exists because, incredibly, your ass does not schedule its bowel movements around your shower routine.

If I shower at 8 AM and take a shit at 2 PM, what exactly is the plan here? Am I supposed to take another full shower? Or just spend the next six hours walking around with whatever archaeological remains dry toilet paper failed to excavate?

And please spare me the “toilet paper is enough” argument. If you got shit on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it three times with dry paper and confidently walk into a restaurant like “perfectly clean 👍.” You'd use water.

But apparently the moment the exact same substance is between your ass cheeks, suddenly dry paper becomes advanced sanitation technology.

I genuinely cannot understand how the bidet isn't standard everywhere. It takes two minutes. It's refreshing. It's hygienic. You leave the bathroom actually feeling clean instead of merely having distributed the evidence more evenly.

So no, “we shower every day” isn't the devastating counterargument people think it is. We shower too. AND we wash our asses after taking a shit. These are two separate activities.

Walking around post-shit with Tarzan's jungle still swinging between your cheeks because “I'll shower tonight” isn't a cultural difference.

It's fucking troglodyte behavior.

Normalize washing your ass. Italy, for once, got this one right.

Does anyone else have a completely unproven Pokopia “theory” that you’re almost certain isn’t actually true… but you want to believe it so badly that it has become part of your personal RP?

Mine is Celebi.

Some part of my brain has decided that Celebi is already somewhere in the game. Not unreleased. Not coming in a future event. Already there. Hidden.

Behind some absolutely ridiculous requirement that nobody has figured out yet. Plant a specific tree in a specific place. Visit some forgotten corner of an island at the right time. Complete some bizarre chain of interactions. Build something nobody thought to build. Whatever.

And I genuinely love pretending this is possible, because it makes exploration feel magical. Whenever I find some weird little secluded spot, interact with something suspicious, or notice an area that feels too intentional, there’s always that tiny voice going:

“…what if this is part of the Celebi thing?”

It reminds me so much of being a kid during the Red/Blue era and hearing all those insane playground legends about Mew. The truck. Secret areas. Impossible requirements. Your friend’s cousin who definitely knew how to get it.

Obviously, 99.9% of it was nonsense.

But that was part of the magic.

So until someone physically tears Pokopia’s code apart in front of me and proves otherwise, Celebi is hidden somewhere in my world and I simply haven’t earned the right to find it yet.

What’s your Pokopia conspiracy / headcanon that makes the game more fun to RP, even if you know deep down it’s probably complete bullshit?

Is it possible to rotate air fans upside down or on a wall and NOT simply put them on a ceiling? Or at least recreate something similar

I personally have a project in mind, and I’m not gonna gatekeep it — I’m happy to share it in case you guys like the idea!

I’m planning to do it once I unlock Pallet Town. I’ve already unlocked all the other islands, including Bubbly Basin, but I haven’t reached Pallet Town yet, so I still don’t have access to the Legendary Birds.

My idea is to recreate that massive flying fortress/platform from Pokémon: The Movie 2000 — the one where the collector captured Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres in those terrifying giant spheres.

Except this time, instead of imprisoning them, I want to turn the whole flying fortress into a place where all three Legendary Birds can live together in harmony, each with their own area and habitat inside it.

I think it could make for a pretty awesome Pokopia build! What do you guys think? Any advices?

Are there actually any interesting activities you can build for Pokémon that get them moving, other than hot springs?

I honestly think this is one of Pokopia’s biggest weaknesses, and I was really hoping Bubbly Basin would add more stuff like that. Roads are nice and all, but I’d love to build areas that encourage Pokémon to actually move around and interact with the objects and environments you create.

Right now, it feels like if you want to see your Pokémon actually doing something instead of just standing around, the main solution is basically to build hot springs everywhere just to get them to move their butts. 😭

I grew up with Rayman and Tonic Trouble and absolutely loved them. Rayman 2: The Great Escape in particular is still one of my favorite games from that era.

I know Origins and Legends are great games, but personally the shift towards side-scrolling never clicked with me as much.

Why do you think Ubisoft never went back to a proper 3D Rayman? With 3D platformers and Metroidvania-style exploration being popular again, Rayman seems perfect for interconnected areas, abilities that unlock new paths, secrets, weird environments, etc.

Would you like to see Rayman return to something closer to The Great Escape, but with a modern exploration/Metroidvania approach?

TL;DR: I miss 3D Rayman. Why did Ubisoft abandon that style, and would you want it back?
