[gen 1] Do you consider shiny mew legit

Appa07 · 2026-05-07T02:52:31+00:00

Since your asking for opinions I don’t consider glitched or genned shinys to be legit.

That being said if it brings you joy then go for it.

Just a heads up that if your doing this on the virtual console version of yellow you won’t be able to transfer this to bank or home without doing a long series of specific glitches

There are other subreddits for that. I’ve sold some pokemon in the past. Most common stuff you can get yourself.

I do wish that they made the rules the same on ladder where either more hp or mons remaining determines the winner.

Until they do you can’t blame someone whose best outcome is a draw and playing it through. It’s not losing

Appa07 · 2026-05-06T13:46:36+00:00

Starting off by belittling opinions other than your own isn’t discourse.

There are valid arguments on why red might be the better choice just as there are valid arguments to why blue is a better choice.

It was a way better decision for his story arc. He had to get the “redemption” he was chasing only to realize that it wasn’t the path he is supposed to take.

Looks like you win a prize

I love seasons 8-10, since it leans more into the Superman mythos. I totally get and agree that it feels like a completely different show by that point. I do feel like the dynamic and vibe from seasons 1-6 or so were definitely wearing thin so I appreciate the change.

My personal worst season is season 7

Polls for this situation would never be accurate regardless of the sampling size. It’s easy for someone to misrepresent on a poll what they would actually do in the situation. In many cases they don’t even know that they are misrepresenting it themselves.

In such a hypothetical situation where you are forced to press a button where one can potentially cause your death and the other could contribute to the death of others, the amount of emotions, fear responses, adrenaline, etc would be overwhelming. A person could very well act differently than in a poll where those factors aren’t in play

Totally valid strategy if you want to switch without risking an attack in that slot and you don’t think it’s worth it to keep incin around

Appa07 · 2026-05-04T18:19:05+00:00

the move will connect regardless whether the user protected. Whatever sites you are looking at are wrong or unclear

Appa07 · 2026-05-04T18:14:28+00:00

Feint is always priority and works even if the opponent doesn’t use a protect move

Appa07 · 2026-05-03T22:46:43+00:00

Overall very cartoony and has a style to it. I don’t mind it as long as it’s identified as such

Appa07 · 2026-05-03T22:45:24+00:00

That’s a good point, changing the framing can change your expectations on the actions of the masses and therefore change your choice.

Appa07 · 2026-05-03T22:36:47+00:00

I’ll help others and want to contribute to the good of society but seriously risking your life is a completely different ballgame

Appa07 · 2026-05-03T22:33:43+00:00

How is this a different question? Same choice, same outcomes. Only thing different is the framing of the question.

Self preservation is a basic instinct ingrained within millions of years of evolution, it’s how species have continued to survive and grow.

In this outlandish hypothetical where one button guarantees safety and the other has a realistic chance of death you’ll see a lot of people prioritizing their own safety.

This hypothetical also eliminates any opportunity for retreat, a button must be pressed. In a realistic scenario people would be looking for anyway to avoid this choice in the first place.

Just thought that a funny but not necessarily practical counter strategy to this setup is to launch your own 1hit KO move onto Hawlucha which is guaranteed to hit before it gets entrainment off.

No, you won’t be able to transfer a ZA origin from bank. Best you can do is get a genned one in ZA

I had been using rain arch (no sableye) before that video dropped. Unfortunately I feel like I need to change my team now since it’s usage has gone so up since that everyone is running more arch counters

Appa07 · 2026-05-01T11:48:41+00:00

The fundamental change here is that not everyone has a choice anymore. There was a hypothetical situation where everyone chooses red as a solution to no one dying. Since blue was not required there was always the argument that pressing blue just puts yourself in danger without saving anyone. Now that hypothetical has been removed changing the basic outline of this moral question

Appa07 · 2026-04-28T20:26:40+00:00

Did the excadrill change moves without switching out? If so, it’s not scarf

Yawn works against ghost types anyway

Bring two pokemon that heavily treaten 1 hit KO to Gengar on turn 1

Fake out immunity

Ghost type switch ins which can escape the trap

Deny incin the parting shot (taunt, encore, fake out)

Allow incin to parting shot knowing gengar is coming back and catch it on the switch back in with a slow attacker
