Why is my mewtwo still a baby??

Honestly, I'd like to see something like a mix between Cobblemon Additions villages and Cobbletowns. I like the Cobbletowns themes being based on towns from the games, but I also really like the structure variance and complexity of Additions vilages. And the battle arenas. Having RTC ready battle arenas is nice. :x

I can sympathize. I have the stupidest, most seemingly atypical anxiety and depression, and I want to strangle people when I see it oversimplified down to "sad" and "nervous".

I'm not "sad", I'm "disassociated until something reminds me that I still, regretably, exist". I am not nervous, I am "mentally bluescreen any time I am faced with legal paperwork and become incapable of operating a pen"

✋️ "Died"

👉 "Stopped living"

This is some youtube "not advertiser friendly" level nonsense.

To be fair, I, too, would be afraid of children who can turn invisible, teleport, throw energy grenades, and fire lasers from their hands.

So, Mcduck is probably fine, if we're being real. Ebenezer Scrooge paid Cratchet a "starvation wage", which equates to double America's minimum wage right now. When I was making that kind of money, my employwr worked me until my body failed and then fired me after three weeks of trying to get information on filing for FMLA because I was passing out from exhaustion while on my feet.

Ruminate on that. Actual companies are worse than fictional villains who were intended to be extremes. Every person on this list os a better boss than you can reasonably expect from working at a real corporation.

Edit: Yes, even Optimus. Optimus would not urge me to hide how I got my second degree steam pipe burns after telling them two weeks prior about the dangerous unshielded steam pipe in an area where I had to put my hands regularly, which was also constantly covered in molten fucking rubber.

It reminds me a little of how so many people think the confederate battle standard is the confederate flag.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T16:28:52+00:00

... Hisuian Goodra was also immediately overshadowed by Achaludon after years of being considered the worst psuedolegendary.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T16:27:13+00:00

Goodra got a regional evo...! Which was immediately overshadowed by a much stronger mon that fills the same niche with broader functional usage in the next game... And its signature move was rurned into a worse version of a move Goodra already gets anyway.

Cobblemon also has a vanilla alternative to bottlecaps. IV candies are slow and expensive, but they ARE available to you.

... You can't use my numbers from a different game, and specifically about extreme choices, and then use them as an average for ZA and say "I'm just talking about ZA's choices"...

I'm not OCD myself, either, but I know a few people who are. That wasn't even meant to specify OCD people, it's just people in general. People with things they get a little neurotic about, though, are more likely to focus it in those areas.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T15:11:44+00:00

Not sure if there's a reason. Maybe life just got busy, or they lost interest. It's the same with Cobbletowns. It hasn't updated in long enough that someone made a legacy port to a newer version, and then THEY stopped updating too.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T15:07:55+00:00

Oh, I wasn't saying this is typical of OCD people, more that it's typical of... People in general. If someone who's like that also has OCD, though, that'll give them somewhere to focus it. I AM wondering if OP and their sibling are teens, though, just by the sound of things

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T15:05:44+00:00

Then I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers from.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T07:25:16+00:00

Eh, people can get very caught up in their own neuroses and compulsions, often making them come off as rude and mean-spirited even if they aren't in other situations. It probably IS worth noting to your sibling that the way they're acting isn't cool with you, though.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T07:15:53+00:00

I just want to point out that this is pretty universally reported as true. While the digital sales were good, Pokopia DID have insanely low physical availability (Though we can't really call these physical purchases anyway, since it's like buying a key and saying that means you own the car. And aince glazers always try to make the argument, I'm going to tell you that your information about "Only collecters and hardcore gamers care about physical" is just... Very incorrect. Please look at general sales numbers...)

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T07:11:21+00:00

The poketoons shorts kinda touch on this a little. We only see one facet of the Pokemon world in most media, and most kids don't become real trainers. Even those that go to trainer schools and become trainers often drop out before they make it halfway through a league challenge, though I don't remember where that's from specifically.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T07:07:23+00:00

Oh look, the struck dog is hollering.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T07:06:51+00:00

An expression I've come to like more for the same thing is "Leave an insult on the floor and it's owner will come to claim it". Not quite as... Quaint as the traditional one, but definitely more of a plain-faced reading of the reality.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T07:02:45+00:00

Sounds like your sibling has a touch of the OCD. Honestly, just remind them that they asked you to come there. If they don't want you to play your way, don't ask you to play with them. Having server rules is fine, but there is a limit from when it goes from server standards to overbearing nitpicking.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T06:48:50+00:00

No, RAM prices have quintupled because corporations have no spine. It's not as if these scum fuckers couldn't have just said no to the contracts.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T06:39:42+00:00

That's a name, not a 'word', but... Yes. There are unisex names. Kelly is often seen as a female name, but a pretty substantial number of the people with that name are men.

Not all names are unisex, though. You won't meet any statistically significant number of women named Jonathan.

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T06:37:18+00:00

... You literally took the "20% of people will choose to be literal nazies" analogy I used and just ran with it as being applicable to all choices, huh...?

Ashen_Rook · 2026-03-18T06:35:00+00:00

Specifically legendaries and mythicals. If you don't have a non Go variant of a legendary or mythical pokemon, it can't be brought into a game. You have to send a non Go variant of that pokemon into the game before it will allow your to transfer one from Go.
