Radic and Farnsworth are original Pokemon characters made by Zarla, and were released April 19th, 2018. Their files can be found on their homepage. They use a special balloon based on the Diamond and Pearl/Red and Blue speech balloons from Pokemon, and it won't display properly unless the corresponding fonts are installed. The fonts are included in the balloon's zip file. Make sure to install the fonts first!

Features

  • Radic and Farnsworth will say random things as they idle on your desktop, and the Pokemon they talk about and the events they reference will change depending on which region you tell them you prefer. You can also make them be silent if you don't want them bothering you.
  • You can pet them by stroking various parts of them with your mouse (don't click, just move the mouse in the right area). You can't punch them, so don't be afraid to double-click in hotspots either! Double-clicking will not hurt them, haha.
  • They can also do standard Ghost functions, such as…
    • Set a picture as your wallpaper
    • Empty your recycle bin
    • Tell you your computer's stats
    • Check if you have new email (if you set your POP settings in SSP correctly)
    • Update themselves remotely
    • If you drag and drop a compatible site on them, they'll add it to Headlines or RSS feeds, and you can see if there are new posts
    • Radic and Farnsworth do not have a relationship system at this point, so don't be afraid of hurting their feelings or messing up with them or anything. They're meant to be relatively low-stress buds.
  • You can ask them many things about themselves in their menus!
  • They will sometimes turn into sprites. That's normal.
  • They'll also announce the top of the hour.
  • Sometimes the Pokemon match-ups they talk about might get a little strange…
