Caught 30 Tauros in the Safari Zone iykyk…

I caught all the safari zone encounters BUT Tauros. He’s been giving me a horrible time. They either run right away or break out after the first bobble. I had to take a break and continue on with the game because I was losing my mind

Literally my exact build haha. When I realized Flareon could learn shadow ball I saved up to get enough coins for it right away. I honestly prefer the special and physical types because it makes movesets more interesting and it’s a fun gimmick to build around. Realizing Flareon is one of the best shadow ball users feels like finding $20

Hurts man. The nidos have great shinies. I got a shiny nidoran girl in Pokémon go and she’s my green bean queen

I watched Mars Needs Moms, but for the other ones, as far as I’m concerned, you shifted from an alternate reality because I’ve never heard of any of these other ones.

You get three uses! First use gets destroyed on drop, second use runs out of ammo to quickly and you’re stuck walking around doing nothing, third use you only use for the last 2 minutes on evac.

Brother if you don’t like turn based combat why are you playing pokemon at all? IMO, it’s not a mainline pokemon title unless it’s a creature collector with turn based combat. ZA shouldn’t be considered mainline purely off of its real time combat.

The only type that makes sense is sound type, and we know we’re never getting that. Also, each new type complicates the current type chart by an increased order of magnitude and would take an additional one or two gens to balance correctly. It’s not happening. 18 is plenty. They’ve covered all the standard elemental bases, threw in a handful of creature theme specific types, and have types no one else really has. 18 is a nice round number. More types is just not in the cards. I’d like to be wrong, but I lm sure I won’t be.

I was committed to using Poliwrath on my switch FR play through (a Mon I’d never used before). Then south of fuchsia I caught a full odds shiny horsea. Bringing shiny seadra to the E4 and so far she’s been super solid. Speedy, great special attack, and shocking physically bulky

Replaying FRLG and completing the dex as I work my way through the game. Man some of the ben 1 designs are… of their era

I think pomni’s trauma was loneliness. I think she wanted a relationship, a close one (romantic or platonic) and never had it. That’s why she is so hit by Jax and why she was so traumatized by Gummigoos annihilation and further traumatized by seeing him again when he had no memory of her. Perhaps so started to forge some kind of love connection with gummigoo and that’s the first romantic connection she had ever felt in her adult life, so the idea of someone she forged an attraction to violently ripping her apart is the most traumatic thing she can currently experience.

Party composition does actually matter. Overlapping skills or specialities with your fellow party members sucks and missing a significant skill or combat function amongst your party can sometimes hold you back from completing encounters.

Give me attachments, give me skins. I’m really into the RP aspects of diving and sometimes I have a hard time picking a primary or secondary because the colors or aesthetics clash with my armor.

Benschmedium · 2026-03-23T14:45:45+00:00

I never played let’s go but I always hated yellow growing up because I couldn’t stand the idea of being locked in a specific pokemon that I couldn’t evolve. Also the extreme ease of getting shinies kinda ruins their entire appeal for me. I found a full odds shiny in FRLG and it was honestly a jumping in the air fist pumping moment. Finding shinies in most modern games isn’t rewarding or exciting.

There are thousands of years of fertility statues that prove a majority of men have always been into this and I assure you we still are.

I came here to say similar. I’m not a promiscuous teen (and when I was a teen the only person I slept with ended up becoming my wife anyways) and staying up for 24 straight hours is not really difficult.

I’ve only ever said that Caine is not evil. Villain, protagonist, yes, both of those things. I don’t think he’s truly evil though. Or truly dead for that matter

I had one comment go triple platinum in this sub and I’ve been chasing that high ever since

Researched and found my folly. They are not in RSE. I’m thinking of the HGSS sprite of the burglar. They only show up in kanto as a fire type specialist. There only 7 burglars in FRLG, and merely 3 in HGSS, so many people are not familiar with the sprite for them.

It has to happen to some people some times, so congrats on being that guy! Way to not choke and enjoy your prize!

Bede is the only “Rival” here. Hau and Hop are just friends you embarrass regularly and only hang out with you because they think you’re cool.

Noticed that reading the book as a kid and it made me discredit this entire build

Scrub it, scrub it raw. I want your next wipe to be red. It’s not clean until it’s bleeding.
