I've always tried to post quality answers and I aim for the harder ones because they're more satisfying. I love Pokémon, I enjoy writing, and I enjoy helping people. So it's a very rewarding loop for me.
I could be wrong about this but I'm going to call out what I believe is the subtext of your question:
"You consistently come back to this site on a certain date, it's nice that you're contributing but it's a suspicious coincidence."
If you're suspicious of my activity over the last few years I can give you a timeline, as I've just looked and realized my activity on this site directly correlates to IRL events.
I stopped using the site regularly around 2017. Fell out of Pokémon for a couple years, became relatively inactive.
First, I came back June/July 2020 and remained active until May 2021. In May 2021, I got my first job. Yes, I came back primarily because I was writing the "psa" but I also was getting into Generation 8 competitive battles and I really liked talking to the new batch of users (SYL, Y, Glazio) who popped up so I stuck around.
I guess I didn't really come on much between 2022 and 2023. I definitely check in and see what's happening but I don't think I posted for two or three years.
Even though I played PLA and S/V, I had gotten into a romantic relationship, had a job, and was working on personal/artistic projects. This site wasn't exactly at the forefront of my mind, y'know?
Then in 2024 I lost my job and had to deal with a BS court case. That case ended in June! Then I had nothing to do so I came back here and answered a few questions. Actually, I have a year-old unfinished draft from a question I'm still trying to answer.
I put it on hold and stopped posting to focus on my game project. But my momentum waned when more of life's woes hit me and for the last eight months I have been painfully stuck.
Then they announced the Pokémon Presents a week or two ago and it reminded me that this site exists.
Yes I'm aware that I always come back around the anniversary of when I posted the "psa". I have an obsession with dates and rarely forget a birthday (look at my oldest wall posts). So naturally I remember this website when I see the calendar but this time it genuinely coincided with the Presents & Amethyst passing Mew. Pretty decent time to come back and answer a few questions.
Not sure how to respond to being called a bully :/
