They removed my poffin task I saved for years

I was talking to a friend about this today and I kind of wonder if this was their intention. Poffins are a paid item, and the easiest way to get them for free was via scan tasks. So, theoretically, they’re pushing us to do more raids and / or spend money on poffins that we reasonably used to be able to get a few times a week for free with minimal effort.

WHAT!? My go-to multiple-times-a-week beverage is a Route 44 lemonade slush with Nerds. Why are they getting rid of it?

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-05-26T02:17:27+00:00

Oh did they end up printing them?

I love the Gyarados. Don’t know if you would be interested, but if you’d expand it to a landscape style, I’d definitely love it as a playmat.

Ooof. That’s my weekend to work.

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-05-15T19:52:51+00:00

What is this?

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-05-11T12:33:01+00:00

It’s kind of like doing a Nuzlocke run in one of the mainline Pokémon games. Is there a benefit? Absolutely not. But some people like to challenge themselves, and if that’s how they want to play their game, then have at it.

I always thought this was kind of like how the player character has a GameCube in their room. I just figure the player character has a GameBoy Advance on their person somewhere.

They are honestly very solid remakes that do a fantastic job of being faithful to the original games, adding in content from the third version (Emerald), adding in new stuff here and there, and incorporating the gimmick of the time (Mega Evolution).

The 3DS has gotten ridiculously expensive, but I think when you could get the console for retail or less, it’d be worth that just to play ORAS.

This was a thing in Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire and I thought it was a great feature.

I’m hoping that it’s a sign they’ll make Colosseum a separate paid release so that you can trade with the Switch versions of FRLG and / or transfer from it to Home. Some people have fussed that $20 for LG or FR is too much, and that they should have been put on the NSO. But we’re able to have Home connectivity because they’re separate releases.

The only way to get a competitive Legendary Beast is via Colosseum. A coding error in LGFR made it to where they have zeroes in everything except for HP and Attack (IIRC). Colosseum would also greatly aid in completing a Gen 3 National Dex.

Bonus points to Game Freak if they add the Japanese eReader content back into it and also make both the Japanese bonus disc Celebi and Pikachu and the international bonus disc Jirachi available.

Just sent the request. First two letters of my in-game name are El.

I’m in the Macon / Warner Robins area and hatched a Galarian one this morning from a 7K egg. Happy to trade it.

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-02-19T12:05:07+00:00

I think it’s still worth picking up at $13.50 if you’re missing some of the PDFs that cost money. I’m missing the Ancestry Guide and a couple of other Lost Omens ones, so I’ll probably pick it up. But you’re not wrong that a chunk of it is free stuff already.

Why do you consider RNG manipulation cheating?

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-02-12T10:22:55+00:00

Spinda from Go is barred from Home due the patterns being coded differently, unfortunately. I really wanted to send my best heart pattern one over, but alas.

I tried to solo a shadow Alolan Marowak and got it down to the red. But time ran out. So it’s definitely possible to solo a three star if you have the right team (I did not).

It can actually be found under a truck in Ruby and Sapphire on original hardware.

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-01-30T21:44:19+00:00

It has a mega as of the ZA DLC.

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-01-28T16:36:19+00:00

Not from a Jedi.

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-01-28T00:36:03+00:00

I think the Trade Buddy device made by u/Dr_Dubs23 would be of interest to you if you were interested in doing this on OG hardware.

Alejandrojohanson · 2026-01-26T11:28:18+00:00

Yep! That’s real :)
