November 2018: an earthquake knocks loose a piece of coralstone carved into a polygonal bookend, but, fortunately, an Atari 7800 console is there to break its fall.
The plastics: are ruined.
But the electronics are still functional.
But this year is a new day, and I am resolving to recover the console and restore it to a better-than-new state. The plastics are a wash. Time for something different, something original.
I don't follow the Pokémon games myself (there are so many I would hardly know where to even begin), but a cladogram expressing (fictional) connections seems to answer a few questions. Obviously, more work remains to be done in this field.
