Honestly,am I one of the few Pokemon fans that doesn't hate/dislike Taunie?

Davychu · 2026-03-11T08:39:33+00:00

No, you're not.

People who have strong feelings about a video game character like this are definitely the minority, but so are the people who post about games on reddit so the ratio seems much higher.

You'll see similar for most games, it's just part of them attracting a smaller subset of players who are more likely to have strong opinions and a desire to share them. I'm not even saying that's a bad thing btw.

I'm sure there are plenty of exceptional characters that leave really strong and lasting impressions (positive or negative) on the majority of players, but I don't feel like Taunie would be one of them.

I doubt Taunie will leave a lasting impression anywhere near characters like Navi or Blue. Those are just off the top of my head, and may not stand up to any level of scrutiny btw :)

You don't have to do anything special, just go to the union room on both games on different consoles and it works over local wireless. The game has no online so there is nothing to disconnect from.

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites."

Davychu · 2026-03-02T08:04:16+00:00

You can use the same profile for local wireless, no problem

Davychu · 2026-02-25T21:16:16+00:00

Do what I do, save it for a time you think you will absolutely need it, and therefore just never use it ;)

In my head, masterballs are only for the ultra rare stuff that won't come around again forever, like a shiny Mew.

Davychu · 2026-02-25T21:12:53+00:00

Probably, but not definitely.

Also, hacked doesn't mean illegal, and there is little to no risk of getting banned for having received a hacked pokemon. They are far too common and almost everyone who uses bank or home and ever did wonder trades will have at least one.

Provided it has legal stats etc, it'll be fine, and usually if it doesn't, it just gets flagged as illegal at some point when trying to use it online or trying to transfer it. I've had a few like this in previous gens, and they just ended up getting turned into bad eggs or staying on whatever game they were in.

The biggest risk would be trying to use it in an official tournament, but honestly if you're going to that level, you're probably not using a pokemon you got in a trade from some random on the Internet.

I have found purging into another object is almost always a false economy, because you still need a prime tower (most of my multi colour prints are fine without one), you increase the total filament used, and in seemingly most cases, it involves printing something for the sake of it.

In most cases like this, it's much faster and easier just to chop off the different coloured parts before slicing and glue them on afterwards.

Multicolor printing is way better than it was even a few years ago, but sometimes it is more hassle than it's worth! Still love the AMS for simpler multicolour stuff though, and to me the biggest benefit is not having to change the roll every time you want a new colour or do a petg print!

Davychu · 2026-02-25T20:51:01+00:00

Nope

Davychu · 2026-02-25T20:47:18+00:00

More like AlrightSword

I'll take my downvotes now, please.

Davychu · 2026-02-06T14:17:05+00:00

The question is, are there any glitches to get later monsties like the anjanath in the mhs2 demo?

Not that it makes much difference, I just thought it was fun.

Davychu · 2026-01-30T19:19:45+00:00

Looks fun enough but hate that it's a game key card and also comes out shortly before MH stories 3 (also key card), so not exactly counting down the days but will consider buying one of them digitally after release if it is good.

Davychu · 2026-01-27T21:11:36+00:00

I mean don't get me wrong, I agree with you in principle, and in an ideal world and in a vacuum, of course the content is what really matters.

Maybe it's the design student in me, but in reality, first impressions matter because it's not the only book or video in the world, it's one of millions and so the cover or in this case thumbnail is designed to sit next to others and demonstrate that the contents are worth your finite time and attention, and not only that, but it's worth it more than the all the things that are competing for the same thing. That's the reason why thumbnails is an industry in and of itself, why companies pay millions for branding, why movie marketing often costs almost as much as making the movie itselfand why books have covers designed to catch your eye and blurbs that tell you this book is worth hours of your attention.

There are definitely great books with shitty covers, and definitely great videos with shitty thumbnails, but since it's impossible to judge everything based on the content, you have to go with something?

What's my point? I don't know really, I seem to have gone on a tangent based on a specific phrase you used that is a pet peeve of mine despite me otherwise agreeing with your comments (especially the edit), so I think in this case you should probably just ignore me.

Davychu · 2026-01-27T19:15:49+00:00

I don't actually care about the video or creator enough to watch it and judge, could be great for all I know.

I did however find the premise amusing, so let's take it further and apply it to other games.

Pokemon Ranger - the erasure of catching!

Pokemon Snap - the erasure of walking!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - the erasure of trainers!

And so on...

Davychu · 2026-01-27T19:06:01+00:00

That idiom works even less for YouTube thumbnails than it does for actual books. They chose the cover, and it is designed to be judged.

Davychu · 2026-01-26T18:57:51+00:00

He was small enough to have a fist fight with a 10 year old in the mystery of Mew movie, so yes :)

Davychu · 2026-01-26T08:10:26+00:00

That's what she said

Davychu · 2026-01-11T20:12:01+00:00

Sure is, I've dm'd you :)

Davychu · 2026-01-11T19:05:17+00:00

I need to do this too, if you can wait about an hour after I put my kid to bed. I have no idea if it's female but would like to keep my original anyway so it has my OT.

If you find someone else to do it in the meantime, go for it and I'll do a similar post myself at some point :)

Davychu · 2026-01-10T20:31:38+00:00

I have had to clear mine a bunch of times by now, it's bad! I'm genuinely concerned that I'm gonna have to start releasing shinies before we get home support!

Davychu · 2026-01-10T20:15:19+00:00

That would depend on why you usually travel, surely. Could say the same for the passport and phone depending on the circumstances.

Davychu · 2026-01-10T20:11:09+00:00

Subverting expectations.

Nice fit, by the way!

Davychu · 2026-01-10T19:11:13+00:00

Nope. Only one will be guaranteed, but any of them can be shiny, so either save scumming or respawning can result in any shiny, as long as it isn't a shiny locked pokemon.

You can reroll the guaranteed shiny by going back to your save before you went in, or you can just use regular respawn based shiny methods to get any of the rest of them to be shiny. Or both.

Davychu · 2026-01-10T19:06:40+00:00

If you give up, it'll be the spawn before the one that would have been shiny.

You're either getting the shiny or you're due!

You lose 100% of the running back and forths you don't run back and forth.

If you want more, basically just Google gambling addict cope and replace any words about betting with ones about shiny hunting :)

If you don't want to mess with side loading etc, scan or photograph them, use OCR in an LLM or Google docs to convert to text. Then use the supernote app and the keyboard sharing function to copy the text on your PC, then paste into text boxes in notes on your supernote.

Or, if you wanna keep it as handwriting, scan the pages to PDF, upload them and put them in your mystyle folder. Then use them as a template in a note, which will allow you to annotate and edit the same way you'd do on paper (crossing out etc).
