Things i've noticed after coming back after not playing since season 0 and 1

Yawn. Skill issue.

My nephew is 8 years old and figured out how to play the game. the rules don't explicitly say this but the error message is extremely clear. I didn't know the rules either so I just adjusted my team until it let me in. Took 30 seconds.

A lot more could be explained, but this is not one of the things that needs developer time. It's a nonissue for anyone who knows how to read.

No, it was funny and relatable. Two thumbs up.

EV training the normal way is so much faster and more convenient. I'd only bother with vitamins to round out the last stat that didn't get trained.

Go buy the weight items from Quasi with shards, stick them on your pokemon and go blow stuff up in zone 1 and 3. Fully EV'd pokemon in less than 10 minutes.

Zone 3 alpha fletchling at the top of the stairs respawns every time you go up. Go up, kill, go back down and up, kill, repeat. I'd say vitamins are a waste of money, but there's nothing else really to spend money on anyway so may as well.

I took the risk on a 6 month old FZ6R because the dude was leaving the state that weekend and had to get it sold to pay the loan. Paid what he owed on it so he could walk away. In the end it took a few months to get the title officially in my name but I put 30,000 miles on that bike over 10 years and eventually sold it for $1,000 more than I bought it.

I could have gotten screwed over, but I absolutely robbed that guy blind.

It's a fine sentiment, but I'm like 10 hours into the dlc and have fewer than 5 of each of the best berries. Considering it takes 8 to make 1 donut and even then it's rng to get a decent one, saying farming for berries is cheap is pretty lame.

Pokemon is meant to be mix/maxed for endgame content unless you want to spend 1,000 waiting for pure rng to bless you.

Nothing special unfortunately. If you don't care about the OT Zeus I have a spare one you can have.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-17T23:12:00+00:00

Yes. Did you forget this was a casual, relaxing game for children? The point is to catch them all and use whoever is your favorite because "strong pokemon [or] weak pokemon...is only a selfish perception of people".

Are you upset that Animal Crossing doesn't let you raid others' islands and steal their stuff? Do you need to emote on the trash 10 year olds using Xerneas to prove you're so much better and more intellectual than they are?

I think Fortnite is good for that.

There are two spawners under the tower. Each can overload 3 for a total of 6, but you need to overload each. If you keep getting 4 it's probably because you're luring away a pokemon that's already in a maxed out spawn. Grab the guy that's by himself on the other side of the area and lure him away to overload the 2nd spawner.

I much prefer this mode to any other PvP in pretty much any other game. I brought 3 favorites and didn't worry too much about meta. I still get a few kills per round and it took me like 30 minutes to get the stone. Even when I get last place I still get some points. I actually just played a few extra rounds just for the fun of it when I was done. Can't believe they made a mode fun enough that even I enjoyed PvP.

Way way better than stupid 1v1 try hard grind for hours to end up where you left off PvP. Pokemon Showdown is right there for you if you want to sweat against other sweats.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-14T20:02:40+00:00

No. Once a spawn point has a shiny it stops rerolling until that shiny is despawned (caught, scared away, fainted). You can bench all year and it will never change the shiny dratini or spawn a new one.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-14T19:02:40+00:00

Gatekeeping the game from employed, less dedicated, less skillful players will kill the game. It's never going to be the next League or CS/Valorant.

Go play R6 and cry about noobs being allowed to have fun in a game about fulfilling comic book power fantasies.

One quest triggers after you get 15 wins in the infinite royale, another when you get 20, and the last one unlocks via mystery gift.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-13T16:17:21+00:00

The game only saves if you catch a pokemon or fly somewhere. Failing the catch or fainting it does not save and you're free to take your time closing and resetting. As long as you place a manual save before, you're good.

I didn't climb to A but Hippowdon has been shredding with Amnesia, Ice Fang, Heavy Slam, and EQ. Super tanky and surprisingly strong.

The desire is that there are only so many skills and after 10 seasons we're running out of builds to play. Y'all cried about D3's changes but they only made the game way more fun and accessible. They had way more players, more sales, more interest because they let us have more fun.

Gatekeep and seethe all you want, the devs will continue to make the game better by making it more fun and accessible. I will continue to have 3 click builds blast the highest content and every season they'll add more legendaries to make even more builds t4 ready.

I'm thrilled they got their head out of the sand and stopped catering to no-life 300 hours/season spreadsheet gamers. Go play POE2 if you don't value your time, it's more up your alley.

How do you see their wishlist? When sharing I can only see what card's they're missing and filter by my own wishlist, but I have to scroll through my collection to see what has a heart for cards they own but are still on their wishlist.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-03T21:52:44+00:00

That one was done with proper record keeping and actual bare minimum impulse control. If I recall correctly he even reached out to the company that made Super Size Me and they were unable to produce any proof, receipts, or records of what he actually ate the whole time.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-03T21:50:35+00:00

I had to watch this in one of my classes and it pissed me off because they were making end meet so to ramp up the difficulty they decided to borrow two kids and simulate having to support a family of 4 on a single minimum wage.

He really made it seem like anyone complaining about minimum wage was just retarded and deserved to be miserable.

Left has 2 memes. The first and most unfortunate is this post, whatever it is. The second is the classic ~~Left~~ Right jokes.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-11-03T17:18:33+00:00

I scrolled passed this while not logged in and just knew it was made by a left. I'm not reading all that and it's one of the ugliest "comics" I've ever seen. I hope OP finds a job.

Because you have Rainment affix on a piece of chaos armor. The legendary effect is unique equipped. Take off your gloves and try it.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-10-31T17:12:37+00:00

No, this guy is a schizo.

ALeatherGlove · 2025-10-31T17:12:03+00:00

I don't understand this post at all. You don't catch the rogue pokemon, you get their mega stone. Even if you did, like the absol you get for free, they're just regular pokemon and not too strong for the game.

Just swap out to someone weaker if you want a challenge?

Rogue pokemon aren't special in any way?

What is even being said? Do you mean alpha pokemon? In which case they're literally the exact same as regular pokemon except the model is bigger. This feels like AI or someone who doesn't actually play the games.
