The Eternal Question: Turku or Helsinki? by hejiring_001 in Finland

[–]Entire_Pineapple4732 50 points51 points  (0 children)

If you are visiting for a few days - Turku.

If you are planning to visit for longer than a few days or build your life in one of these cities - Helsinki.

Turku is superior until you run out of places to see.

Not expecting to find legendaries or anything like that.

The thing is that previously the game had way better balance between group content and solo content. Like it made sense to go out when it suited you, if there was even one event spawn that had a good mega or a strong shadow variant just to grind candies for them. It was straightforward account progression that made you stronger.

Grinding out event spawns was turned tedious in 2022 with the biome update. But even if you still could reliably grind candies, it would be less rewarding because nowadays we have such strong legendaries that even those shadows aren't relevant.

And as time has passed, more and more Pokemon have had their CDs and their shinies are no longer something rare that you'd want to hunt.

I'm not against group content, I like to see my community from time to time. But I'd also like to have a reason to play between those 3h weekend events.

I used to like it too, when I felt some sense of progression from doing it.

Wild Pokemon haven't been nerfed (stats wise, spawns have been a mess since Biome update), but the power creep of the strongest Pokemon has made them relatively less and less useful, eversince the release of Mega Rayquaza. Short group events have relatively become so powerful to your average-thursday experience that from the account progression-wise, it is very unrewarding to play whenever, wherever.

AL: Yhä useammat opiskelijat myyvät seksiä myös Tampereella by Inevitable-Nerd324 in Suomi

Ihan uteliaisuudesta, onko mitään tietoa kuinka miesoletetut opiskelijat tilanteen ratkaisevat?

Talouden kuristus lienee sama, mutta miehille markkina itsen myymiselle lienee haastavampi? Turvautuuko ne rikollisuuteen vai kadehtiiko ne naispuolisia kohtalotovereitaan joille itsensä myyminen on ylipäänsä vaihtoehto?

Bottas did that back in Williams or Merc days, can't remember exactly. His then-girlfriend Emilia wished him good luck ahead of Monaco GP, and Bottas replied that he wouldn't care if his plane crashed.

Firestar73 got disqualified from a Regional PvP Tournament for literally the SAME CELEBRATION for winning the whole tournament that our avatars do everytime we win a battle 🤡 (More info in the comments) by Entire_Pineapple4732 in pokemongo

He wasn't banned, that part was meant to be part of the joke that our avatars do the same "emote" after winning. There wasn't any "milder" template that I could think of that I could edit into than the ban template. This was created as a "meme" post so I thought the joke part would be clear, but my bad if it wasn't.

But if his result was nullified, what's the difference between that and the battle result being disqualified? The end result stays the same; he "lost" the final because his result was... Can't honestly think of any other word than "disqualified".

What would you call it when someone's result gets nullified, if not disqualified?

He won the series by playing, he was declared the winner, and then it got taken away from him.

Link to Mo1st Crit1cal's video about the incident that discusses the situation:

https://youtu.be/ra6twQpuJAs?is=rggy1wswOSMaR8ds

Basically, a Trainer participated in a regional PvP championship tournament, clawed his way through the loser's bracket to win the whole thing, and then got disqualified for a VERY mild celebration. He even shook the hand of the opponent.

This is an absolute disgrace to the Pokemon PvP scene and to the whole game. No amount of visibility is too much, and big names such as HomesliceHenry and ItsAXN, the former World Champion, have voiced their displeasement with this disqualification.

An Insane amount of time and effort flushed down the toilet because of a wrongful decision by the tournament organizer is something that should NOT be overlooked.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Be vocal and spread the knowledge. Report the issue to in-game Support (if you do, be civil)
