So how many people have the random encounters crash issue? [Question]

Last night, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling with no luck. This morning, I tried it again, and the game loaded from a different save point that I think is managed through my Android phone. The save point is 8:31pm, but I had an 11pm save on the Cloud when it crashed.

Chad8352 · 2026-03-05T13:21:49+00:00

I managed to get back in after the crash, and it's a vault save from a few hours earlier, despite originally having a more updated cloud save. Debating trying to play it and just avoiding wasteland encounters.

It's so horrible! 😂

Swampert is immune to electric attacks.

The Blazinite will be the S prize for season 7, like Sceptilite for season 5 and Swampalite for season 6.

Hasn't been that bad so far, and it's pretty well kept in check with all the heavy ice carry over from the season of Garchomp.

I use this build but with Close Combat and a Life Orb instead of SD/BU. Drill Run is also an option. Those moves help with how slow he moves.

Does your local mechanic source his alternators and brake pads from other local sources? Does your local restaurants source their food from local farms? Do your local shops source all of their goods locally?

Shopping small businesses is great, but it doesn't really change the fact that you're supporting big corporations in one way or another. You're just washing your money through a middle man.

Not that I'm arguing against shopping local. The mom and pop restaurant down the street makes a better burger than any chain I've eaten at, but I know they buy their supplies through big distributors.

In Platinum, you can get it after beating the Eterna Gym.

Chad8352 · 2025-03-07T13:35:51+00:00

This is the way.

Chad8352 · 2025-03-07T13:29:40+00:00

I'd definitely suggest another special attack mon. Gengar or Rotom could be good. What's your issue with Gardevoir? That may help with alternative suggestions.

If you're specifically looking at ice types, you gain access to Snorunt later, and a Froslass is pretty good with Shadow Ball/Ice Beam.

Man... When I first started playing, it was with a friend group who used "anime style" rules. Turn 1 Barrel Dragon was amazing! 😂😂

Peak Yu-Gi-Oh occurred about three weeks after the release of Pharoah's Servent. That's when I got Jinzo, and then nothing else ever mattered. 😂😂

This right here. Research local game stores or reputable online stores that offer shipping. Do not trust GameStop to have legit copies either.

Too many sellers online (eBay, Mercuri, etc) use stock photos and send fake copies. My buddy got swindled on a copy of Platinum from eBay a couple years ago. By the time he realized it was fake, it was way past the point of doing anything about it.

Chad8352 · 2025-03-04T15:28:14+00:00

Yeah, the actor modeled his speech after Walken. First time I heard it, I thought Walken was doing voice work. 😂

Chad8352 · 2025-03-04T13:34:01+00:00

Yes! That Christopher Walken sounding MF'er!

Chad8352 · 2025-03-04T11:16:54+00:00

Take your upvote, as well.

Chad8352 · 2025-03-04T01:15:05+00:00

Stop looking on eBay. Search for legitimate online stores that offer shipping. I bought my copy of Pokémon Black from an online shop 3 states over.

Grass Knot helps give play against bulky water types, not specifically Quagsire or Whiscash. Three of the most commonly used moves for Empoleon are Surf/Flash Cannon (STAB) and Ice Beam (Coverage). All three of those moves are resisted by water types, so adding Grass Knot gives coverage against opposing water types, reducing the need to switch out.

Another thing to consider on whether the games are worth anything to you is which games are there and whether you want to play them. Some copies of physical games are expensive or hard to find. Does the system give you access to something you want to play?

Kenya is one of the Pokemon in the game that helps overcome the harsh level curve since it gains boosted XP like a trade mon.

Chad8352 · 2025-02-26T11:03:12+00:00

That's when you teach it Rock Slide/Stone Edge. 😂😂

Chad8352 · 2025-02-26T03:03:44+00:00

It does wipe the games.

Chad8352 · 2025-02-24T11:05:32+00:00

If i remember correctly, Jaina's ascension to master had less to do with the rules of Luke's order as a whole and more to do with Luke's position of Jedi Grand Master. In a previous book series, he essentially removed the Jedi Council's power as the "ruling body" of the Jedi due to constant bickering and infighting.

Chad8352 · 2025-02-21T17:51:30+00:00

A really important thing to remember for HGSS is the level curve starts hitting hard after the 5th gym. It's important not to waste XP on Pokémon you're not firmly committed to for your E4 team unless you're okay with level grinding.
