I'm a fan of Pokemon and playing the older games, I've found it really soothing to breed competitive level mons. Currently, I'm working on making a living Pokedex starting with generation 1.

I've got five left, excepting Krabby, which I'm getting later.

I haven't played a competitive battle in years, but I always liked the idea of having a set of Pokemon I could create hypothetical teams with like the rental Pokemon in Stadium 1/2.

What about the rest of you? Anything you're doing just got you because you like it?

    Now that I have the space:

    1. I'm going to be collecting wildflowers as soon as they start blooming in a couple months, drying them, and preserving them in formed resin with backlighting like this lamp. Some are going to be standalone, others grouped. Like 3D botanical plates that double as ambient lighting.

    2. I'm recreating a few of the masks from this beautiful cubist ballet, with art by Fernand Leger, to hang as wall art: https://vimeo.com/455396674 . Ideally they'd be wearable too but I just want close/semi-sturdy replicas of the humans, birds, monkeys, warriors, and the three gods in the background.

    3. I'm going to be collecting wild specimens for a few terrariums themed around regional ecosystems. We've got some really unique ones like alpine tundra, high desert and canyon, and mountain which I think could look neat in miniature. Just like one shelf full of them in the living room.
