In this Pokemon interview, we are joined by Blue Moon Fallas, a Pokemon Trainer and webmaster of Blue Moon Falls, a passion project fan site for Generations 1 and 2 Pokémon videogames, documenting information, lore, and sprites.

Blue Moon Falls starts her Pokemon journey with Pokemon Leaf Green & FireRed. She is drawn immediately to the Pokemon and the world behind them. Her deep connection with Pokemon Mystery Dungeons allowed her to really grasp and understand Pokemon and the stories they develop before any interaction with a Pokemon Trainer.

Blue Moon Falls reveals her life with disabilities and the misperception behind them. Diagnosed with autism, POTS, and DID, she reveals how her mind works and how Pokemon allowed her to connect with other individuals with similar stories.
Pokemon allowed her the stepping stones to help build her life and is the catalyst for how she approaches life today.

Blue Moon Falls delves into Pokemon 3: Spell of the Unown. She shares the deep story the writers were telling in regards to loss and grief. She identifies with the tragic fate of Molly Hale and how she fears stepping into a future without parents and a preference to stay in the past. You don't want to miss this deep dive into this Pokemon movie!

Finally, Blue Moon Falls dives into the origins of her website. She shares how she was inspired by her interest in documentation and creating a resource for Gen 2 sprites for Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Stadium!
