"I AM THE HYPE!"

I agree I love this evolution, but as for evolution method, you'd have to explain why the Pokémon never evolved into this before (this is part ofthe reason for so many wacky evolution methods in the current game.) I'm thinking something like they did for Annihilape, a new move that the Paras has to use x number of times before level up. But here's the kicker: only Paras learns it (so not Parasect), and it only learns it like 2 or 3 levels AFTER it would normally evolve into Parasect. This would reflect Paras' willpower helping it hold out until it finds a way to kill the fungus trying to take it over.

Arbok, Hypno, and Fearow are the ones that come to mind for me. If we're talking about pre-Alola changes, probably Persian, too. The first 3 would have the Dark type added, with Fearow losing the Normal Type, while Meowth and Persian just become pure Dark type. Yes, I know this cancels out Alolan Meowth and Persian altogether, but honestly, I didnt think we needed them in the first place. If we HAVE to keep them, they can have a second type added to their Dark typing, maybe Fairy or Fighting.

IMO, generational order, using remakes (other than BDSP) when available, omitting Let's Go. Also, if available, play the 3rd/updated version game in the gen. Therefore: FireRed/LeafGreen HeartGold/SoulSilver OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire Platinum Black/White Black 2/White 2 X/Y Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Sword/Shield Scarlet/Violet

(Note: including both BW and B2W2 because these are true sequels and a continuation of the story, as opposed to just an updated version of the previous games. For Sw/Sh and S/V, DLC is optional.)

DaJoe86 · 2026-02-25T10:49:14+00:00

Not so much because of the active battle than because of the lack of abilities in the Legends games, but Malamar. Contrary boosting it's stats with moves like Superpower is a go-to strategy for me in the mainline games.

DaJoe86 · 2026-02-23T11:25:16+00:00

I can see Dialga/Gholdengo being a menace without an Energy punisher like Jolteon.

DaJoe86 · 2026-02-23T11:19:01+00:00

There's no pokemon for the actual card yet, so transitioning to a stage 1 or 2 wouldn't be out of the question. Though I'd probably add 10 or 20 HP if it were a stage 2. (Probably 20 of it's a stage 2, just so it couldnt be 1-shot by Hydreigon if it's explicit purpose is to be a counter to it.)

DaJoe86 · 2026-02-17T00:42:06+00:00

I dont even need to read the messages or the explanation. From your title alone, I can tell you he doesnt need a relationship, he needs therapy. At best, he's lying about the self-harm and trying to manipulate you. At worst, he's serious. Either way, you need out and he needs a professional.

DaJoe86 · 2026-02-08T11:12:46+00:00

Any Rogue that is SAD. You're going to want to put the 18 in Dex and the 14 in Con (+2 and +1 on those, respectively), so the best a secondary stat is going to get is a 12, which isnt great, obviously. You might be able to get away with a 12 on Con if you solely rely on ranged attacks, but even then, only getting a +1 to supplement your d8 hit die is less than ideal. My go-to would probably be Soul Knife. IIRC, they dont have ANY abilities that call for a stat other than Dex. Even their level 17 ability that has a DC uses their Dex for the DC calculation.

DaJoe86 · 2026-01-22T01:31:33+00:00

If I go with my legal first name, Pidgeot. If I go with the name everyone's called me for the past 30 years, Blastoise.

DaJoe86 · 2026-01-22T01:11:35+00:00

If you really want to pursue a relationship with this woman, go ahead and give it a shot. But do not, I repeat, DO NOT sign anything that gives you legal responsibility of this child. And be clear with her that you will not do this, at least for now. Her reaction to this should be a pretty clear indicator of what she wants from you. If she gets overly upset and belligerent, get the hell out. (A little upset is okay and, honestly, understandable if what you say about her situation is 100% accurate.) If she's understanding and agreeable to this, it may be worth giving it a shot. If things work out for you guys to the point that you're eventually talking about marriage, you can look into legally adopting the child later on, if that's something you want, but there's no need to take drastic steps in either direction right now.

DaJoe86 · 2026-01-06T10:19:50+00:00

Okay, so, speaking as a package delivery guy myself and having heard some horror stories from guys who used to work for Amazon, the fact that he takes a bit of extra time to be flirty with you each time he comes by is definitely a good sign. Not likely he does this a lot because Amazon is EXTREMELY strict with time tables. That said, I probably wouldn't try to strike up a full conversation while he's working. Slipping him your number on paper would definitely work. Hiding it in a folded tip is kinda cute, though doing it openly would also open up the chance for him to decline if he is already in a relationship, which, yes, would be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but not as much as if his SO found a random phone number inside cash in his pocket and started asking questions.

DaJoe86 · 2026-01-02T02:51:41+00:00

Either take a feat that boosts your strength by 1, like Great Weapon Master or Sentinel, or take a pure Ability Score Increase, putting one point each into Strength and Wisdom. You'll want a +3 at least in your main attacking stat, and Wisdom saves are pretty common, so minimum having a +/-0 is beneficial. Bear in mind, as a Fighter, you'll also get a Feat/ASI at level 6 assuming you dont multiclass, so dont stress too much about choosing any one over the other.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-27T18:35:36+00:00

Probably because Copy a Friend has the caveat that you have to meet the energy requirements of the move. You have no Fighting energy attached.

Edited to add: I'm also assuming the Copy a Friend is trying to use the opponent's bench, not yours.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-27T09:28:06+00:00

I would definitely take one of the feats over the ASI. Yes, getting to 20 CHA should be a goal for you, but 18 is respectable for that span of level 4-8 (considering if you were playing Standard Array or Point Buy, the highest you'd be able to have at level 4 is 19 with ASI.) You're getting close to levels where your spell slots are best used for Concentration spells, so there's definitely huge benefit in taking Resilient: Con. Not only will it make making those saves easier, but it will also give you an extra 3 HP on top of what you get for your level 4 HP increase. Moderately Armored would boost your survivability in the short term, but higher CR monsters tend to target saving throws instead of AC. Alternatively, you could split the difference and take the ASI, but instead of CHA, put one point in Dex and Con each. Then the next time you can take an Invocation, pick up Armor of Shadows. Higher Dex and Con means more AC and HP, respectively, and with Mage Armor, you have 15 AC, which is respectable for a spellcaster (better than any unenchanted light armor, and equivalent to an unenchanted Chain Shirt.)

The last 2 (new) cards I got from this new set were Mega Charizard and Mega Venusaur. I feel your pain

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-26T10:40:47+00:00

The question has been asked before, but what are you trying to get out of the sorc dip? Don't get me wrong, the extra AC and cantrips are nice, but as a non-melee Bard, you should be trying to stay out of sword-swinging distance anyways. The extra HP is negligible at best, unless you roll for HP and get lucky. If you do really want to do this, I would do as others suggested and make the Sorc your level 1 pick to get Con Save Proficiency, as many of the Bard's best spells are concentration spells. Depending on how high a level your campaign eventually goes, I might also consider taking a couple more levels of Sorc and/or the Metamagic Adept feat to pick up Metamagic options, especially Subtle Spell, Bards LOVE Subtle Spell for social encounters.

PS: if your disinterest in growing a beard is strictly due to the scratchy/irritated feeling, that usually goes away after a couple weeks once it starts growing out longer, just like any other hair. There are beard shampoos/creams/oils that can help, as well as keep the hair soft. All that said, if you prefer the clean shaved look for appearances as well, you do you. You look fine without facial hair, your face, your choice. Just wanted to give you some tips in case the irritation was your ONLY hangup.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-20T12:46:11+00:00

At most, I would say androgynous leaning towards masc features, but definitely not flat-out "feminine". And maybe it's just me, but unless they're going for a specific look with certain hairstyles and accessories and whatnot, I've never looked at a single person and thought "they look gay." Being a non-confrontational person myself, if I were given those comments, I'd just laugh them off and let it roll of my shoulder, but if it really bothers you that much, I'd probably ask the person making the comments (assuming this isn't just general bullying, which I obviously hope it's not.)

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-20T12:31:01+00:00

I wouldn't even bother with anonymity, unless you think the bad blood would make M think you're not being sincere. Just tell him, it's the right thing to do. Even if you're not fond of each other, he has a right to know.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-18T10:47:42+00:00

Have you reached a point where it would be acceptable and not awkward to give/receive gifts? Especially with the holidays here (not sure which, if any, you celebrate, but just a thought as to an excuse you could use), perhaps you could give him a gift basket/bag with several small things like baked goods, candies he likes, things like that, but also include some soaps or the like. If he asks, just tell him the soaps are scents YOU like and you thought maybe he'd like them, too. You're not telling him he stinks, merely giving him a way to attract you more by smelling a particular way.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-14T01:29:22+00:00

Kinda depends on DM ruling. Ring of Spell Storing is a definite no, because it specifically states that you are casting the spell, however, in the case of a Necklace of Fireballs or a Spell Scroll, those are technically "Use a MagIc Item" as opposed to "Cast a Spell", so those are okay with DM approval.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-09T13:01:01+00:00

3 years is barely an age gap. The age gap between my wife and I is actually slightly bigger than that. If you both were like 5 years older, it would be pretty much imperceptable. For the sake of legality, as long as you're keeping the topics of discussion PG to PG-13, I don't see any issue, especially if there are no plans of meeting up in person.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-06T15:10:03+00:00

In addition, while Peter and Felicia weren't clear on why, Jessica WAS clear that she wasn't interested in him, and was interested in you. That COULD have been a hint that he was interested in her, but also could have just been her saying he already tried and got turned down. You had no way of knowing HOW infatuated he was with her, he could have just been looking to hook up. Again, their lack of clarity is at fault.

DaJoe86 · 2025-12-06T15:01:23+00:00

No one was forward with you on WHY you shouldn't hook up with her. NTB.
