No, spending time with someone means doing something you both enjoy. At least it is in my book.

My 7 year old son generally understands that when we watch TV or movies together we all pick a family show or movie to watch together, and not just whatever he wants. Or if someone vetos a suggestion you counter-offer as well.

So if she suggests brain rot, you suggest something you both might like. The Wild Robot recently came out on streaming and was a really great movie. She might like that if you are hurting for movie ideas.

I only used it to figure out which attacks were special or attack since it was harder to know that before the Gen 4 physical/special split.

I know that iPhone supports pretty much any Bluetooth controller.

Joycons, PS4/5 controller, and Xbox controllers all work great on it.

Spoiler for the book discussed by the OP

Disclaimer, I’ve only even seen hot dog octopuses in Anime and Manga.

Usually it’s just to be cute. In fact sometimes characters comment on how it’s childish.

I did try making them for my son once because they’re pretty adorable and he likes both hot dogs and sea creatures, and he thought it was lame at 5. At 7 he thought they were awesome.
