Day 2 #folktaleWeek2025 prompt is Echo.

Seeking less well-known folklore about echoes I found this Japanese echo yōkai.

This hand-carved and hand-printed lino block print illustrates the mythical Yama orabi (山おらび) or "mountain shouter," a small, tree-dwelling, birdlike yōkai or spirit who shouts replies, mimicking people's voices and repeating their words creating an echo. 🧵1/2

In the fetid depths of Tatarimori is Sutokubyō — Emperor Sutoku Shrine, or is it his mausoleum?

Thinking more about #Nintendo's #PalWorld #lawsuit, which claims that many of the mechanics, such as the #PalBall, are too similar to #Pokemon's mechanics, like the #PokeBall.

Wondering if it would be a good idea for #PocketPair to take a cue from #BugSnax, and replace the "ball" with a cyllindrical "trap". Perhaps they can take inspiration from #GhostBusters, and have some sort of energy based trap which opens at the top and sucks the magic monsters in. They should definitely be leaning hard into the #MonsterCollecting genre's roots of #Yokai, #Spirit entities, and #mythological #cryptids.

They might be able to avoid some damages if they lose this or have to settle in a few years by just changing up a few aesthetics, and I think the game itself would benefit from this: I personally think the Pal Ball looks odd and out of place as a mechanic, like it's just there to copy Pokemon.

Then again, changing things might be an admission of guilt? I'm not a lawyer.
