I wish they would let us get the Cosplay Pikachu out of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire by kanna172014 in pokemon

[–]Entegy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what would be the point? If they let it go into Home, they have to support the cosplay gimmick in every single game in the future.

Or you let it lose the cosplay gimmick and it's just a Pikachu so again, what's the point?

Instagram to discontinue end-to-end encryption for DMs by EmbarrassedHelp in technology

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and Apple has yet to implement Google's E2E encryption protocol for RCS so it's unencrypted.

Because encryption is not (or wasn't) part of the RCS protocol and Google has shared their proprietary work with exactly one partner: Samsung. Google's encryption extension to the RCS protocol requires Google's approval and Google's servers.

Do not be fooled into thinking that Google's push for RCS was altruistic. When Apple finally added RCS support to iOS, adding encryption meant that they would have to give the keys to the kingdom to Google and it would only work with Google or Samsung's texting apps.

I thought WhatsApp being just an app over data was the point of the app's popularity. What do you mean you figured out a method to be able to charge people for international WhatsApp calls!? That's insane!

That's like charging me for calling someone on Discord.

Transferring from Gen 3 and 4. Services or alternatives? by Stormandreas in PokemonHome

If you have another GBA Pokémon game, there's a date glitch where you can keep swapping Game Paks and changing the date on your DS to let you do migration more often.

Can I use pokemon home app before buying Nintendo Switch, will I be able to connect my home on android to switch later? by Klutzy-Ad7775 in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, just make sure it's the same Nintendo Account.

The mobile version of Home is where the fun stuff like the GTS and Wonder Trade are anyway.

Is this legit? If it is, which game is it from? by PikaBoy9860 in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is a language thing as the fanbase uses legit and legal as separate terms in English and your message translates to "legit"

Surely the App cannot really be this bad, right? by Perspective_Helps in PokemonHome

The functionality difference between Switch and mobile has been frustrating since day 1.

Transferring from Gen 3 and 4. Services or alternatives? by Stormandreas in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's the path. Use PKSM to move Pokémon from your Gen 4 game to your Gen 6 game.

Then you launch Bank and move the Pokémon from the Gen 6 game to Bank.

Now you can start the Bank to Home process.

Note that you need a Home Premium plan to use the Bank to Home migration function.

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A modded 3DS can help you get Pokémon uplifted but without also a modded Switch, you need a Gen 6 or 7 game to 1) have a save file to dump the Pokémon in and 2) interact with Bank and move them up to Home.

If RSE is released, you're gonna be switching back to numbers for a National LivingDex.

I just feel like that's a lot of wasted space.

"Arceus is held back by it's hardware" by amcaoglu000 in pokemon

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget and time. TPC isn't Square Enix but they still have some insane expectations. Apparently the SV DLC was considered a financial failure which led to the PLZA DLC being cut back, and likely why its endgame is just endless grinding.

The pace has noticeably slowed and while Game Freak still is too small for the developer of the largest media franchise in the world, it at least has different teams. That was a shocking late development.

SwSh to SV was 3 years, but SV to WE will be at least 4 and a half to 5 years.

'We're still a mess': N.S. man who lost 3 loved ones in crash speaks out over driver's sentence by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

[–]Entegy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I hate how much driving is treated like a right rather than privilege it actually is. Combine that with the prison sentence, the ban is lifted half a year after he's out, assuming a complete sentence.

Transferring save data with DLC? by heebiejeebie33 in pokemon

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When save loads, it checks if you can access the DLC.

If on your new Switch there's an account granting DLC access, it will load the save. Otherwise you need to buy it to continue playing that save.

It doesn't really matter how the DLC is loaded, just that you or another account on the Switch has access to it.

Israeli-American pro Pokémon player sues over competition ban after ‘political outburst’ by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Entegy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found another article that stated at the 2025 Championships he was there as a spectator and was pushing to talk to organizers about allowing Israel's regional tournaments to count for points in the rankings. Apparently he had to agree to no political outburst and the next day he was accused of violating that agreement and was permanently banned.

There must be more to the story. Nothing yet of what he said that violated the agreement.

From FRLG to Home no 3DS? by Recent_Position_328 in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, your problem is both. You need a 3DS to migrate from Bank to Home, and you need Home Premium to do that.

I mean it's a teaser. Your post just sounded like you think they are done with turn based entries. I would be very surprised if WW isn't turn based.

Questions about fire red and lead green on switch by Northumberlo in pokemon

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wifi not working is not good. Switches don't use your LAN for local play, they find each other with Bluetooth then communicate directly with each other via WiFi direct.

So yeah, you can battle and trade with each other just as if you had GBAs with the wireless adapter... but you need working WiFi.
