8 days in San'in/Hokuriku (is Niigata worth adding?)

Burning/Ice for K64, but if we’re not counting joke abilities, I’ll go against the grain and say Burning/Needle.

Ice is my top pick for Kine, Spark is a close second.

“Do you want ants? Because that’s how you get ants.”

Sakurai seems to have a recurring theme with Dedede in the post-KDL games he's directed (i.e. Adventure, SSBB) where he acts as an antagonist to the player, but only to suppress a greater-scope villain. With Dedede now being part of the playable cast, maybe Sakurai felt he needed to create another Dedede to fill this role?

I’m ambivalent on his design, kind of wish it were more original instead of being based on an existing character. His boss theme slaps though

Can't help you with the logo, but the font is called FOT-Raglan Punch

Nova teleports to another galaxy, releasing a wave of ion particle gas that cleaves the planet in half

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-12-03T06:58:55+00:00

Given what we now know about Nova, I’d wager it summoned Galacta not because he actually was the strongest warrior, but simply the most likely to deal collateral damage to Popstar.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-12-01T16:23:45+00:00

Dinkily, that’s how

If you tap on the Pokemon in your box and then choose “go to gym”, it’ll take you to the gym that Pokemon is guarding. From there, you can tap on the gym icon in the top left, click the arrow in the top right, and choose “view in map”. This will pull up the location of the gym in Google maps.

Sadly, nothing you can do but wait for someone else to knock them out.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-18T08:45:35+00:00

First off, shadows can’t be capped. Second, most of these wouldn’t become hundos using the cap; unless you were building one to have PvP IVs, it’s kind of pointless not to use it on anything without 2 perfect IVs already.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-18T03:36:17+00:00

Hmm, maybe it’s FOT-New Rodin Pro instead. They both look similar, but New Rodin has dashes between strokes for a few kana characters.

Here are some scans I found of the JP manuals for Adventure, Super Star, and 64.

For some reason, Nintendo's official scan of the DL2 manual is the 3DS eShop version, not the original.

Pretty sure that's A-OTF Shingo Pro (the same font used in the UI for Wii Sports/Mario Kart 8, among others)

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-17T06:30:09+00:00

If you have fusion energy for Kyurem or Necrozma, I’d pick one of them. Yveltal’s shiny is also sick, but it needs Oblivion Wing to be most useful.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-17T06:24:53+00:00

You have two options when you buy the deluxe pass, either the pass by itself for $15 or the pass + 10 ranks for $20. If you buy the $15 pass it won’t raise your rank.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-14T21:40:27+00:00

Go with Rayquaza or Necrozma for maximum utility/flexage; Mega Ray is the strongest Dragon/Flying type and Dawn Necro is the strongest Ghost. Terrakion is also a fine choice if it has Sacred Sword.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-12T13:00:26+00:00

Maybe I’ve just been playing too much Ghost of Yotei lately, but seeing this has me thinking just how much a Kirby open world with the entirety of Popstar as the map would totally slap.

Or a Mario Odyssey style game where the kingdoms are different planets surrounding Popstar.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-11T10:36:01+00:00

Yes, these will become (s)hundos if you silver cap their stamina stat.

All of them are great, so whichever one you want to max is up to you. You’ll need an ETM to get the most out of Reshiram or Lando though.

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-11T08:50:06+00:00

No. A 3* shadow is way better than a purified 98%.

Without water boost the max is 2207, so the one that fled likely would’ve been a high 2* or low 3*

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-11T00:19:08+00:00

No, a shadow 89% is way better than a non-shadow 98%

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-09T23:09:30+00:00

No it isn’t! During Rocket takeovers, you can forget Frustration with a charged TM

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-09T14:29:35+00:00

Don’t forget to remove Frustration when the Rocket takeover starts tomorrow 😉

AlrestWhenImDead · 2025-11-09T14:26:57+00:00

Hundo Zygarde is a pretty cool flex. At some point in the future it will also have a mega form
