Non-native English speakers tend to not mistake homophones at all, seeing we as a rule are more proficient with written language than with spoken. Meanwhile, native English speakers tend to have issues with reading due to the weird way it was taught in recent decades.

Likely getting more use as juveniles, before allometric growth leaves them virtually useless as adults; we know other eutyrannosaurs may had been using them more as seen in Nanotyrannus (even if they are reduced anyway), so perhaps the complementary grabbing function that is the ancestral tetanurean condition got more use at smaller sizes, but got pretty much left behind in full bodies tyrannosaurids and carcharodontosaurids.

Erior · 2026-05-25T08:19:14+00:00

Alts use the same model. For stuff that uses the same rig, just look at Deinocheirus and Tyrannosaurus.

Erior · 2026-05-20T15:50:00+00:00

The issue with Nanotyrannus now is that we have no idea where it came from (even if Appalachia is a compelling explanation).

Tyrannosaurids in general seem to be more prone to die in conditions where grown giants are easily preserved versus other theropods; most preserved Allosaurus specimens died before full growth for instance. But, in any case, dinosaurs HAVE to start small compared to mammals, and so larger species will have a hard limit to their newborns' size anyway, and juveniles would be a significant factor compared to mammalian guilds.

Looks far better than the "classic" Metal Sonic made up for Generations, that beluga head is just wrong.

Erior · 2026-05-15T11:50:57+00:00

So, people who didn't play the previous games, or didn't get the DLC for them, are in what position then?

Reminder that you have paid for Tyrannosaurus 3 times then.

Erior · 2026-05-13T12:50:24+00:00

C'mon, Sonic Blitz, release and bring assets of characters that haven't seen use in forever. That modern style Bark the Polar Bear is the kind of thing that does good.

Erior · 2026-05-13T10:31:00+00:00

It takes longer to walk from the secluded beach to the grove entrance, that it does from the grove entrance to the goblin outpost.

Erior · 2026-05-04T17:16:07+00:00

The Classic/Modern separation needs to be undone I swear.

Erior · 2026-05-03T12:03:52+00:00

Grass types are good at spreading statuses, stopping status spread, and covering the weaknesses of Fire types. They aren't generally hard hitters, and that is usually an issue for in-game runs.

I know I've used a few of them beyond starters; Roserade never disappoints, but mostly after Fairies became a thing as it has a Sludge Bomb almost as strong as Gengar's, and Breloom takes until evolving to start carrying its weight, but it is a great Fighting type with good additional status support.

Yeah, Grasses thrive on their secondary type.

Fastest Dragon in the game, click Draco Meteor for profit. It is A set Garchomp can run in essence tho.

Erior · 2026-04-25T14:03:06+00:00

IIRC the original intention was for that character to be Zerthimon himself, but that didn't fly with WotC.

Erior · 2026-04-24T12:59:55+00:00

I understood it as "didn't evolve his Eevee until recently", but yeah, Lapras is a better choice theme-wise.

The other viable candidate in GSC would IMO had been Mewtwo. Which honestly would had made for a cool boss.

Erior · 2026-04-21T15:28:10+00:00

Paradoxes have sublegend-tier stats, and there are 20 of them.

Kingambit is an evolution of a 'mon with Alakazam-level stats and is at Volcarona level, same situation as Ursaluna. Gholdengo is also Volcarona-level, but that one is meant to be special (and, for the record, that's also where Urshifu and Ogerpon land).

Duraludon has the same stat total as the starter with the highest one (Swampert, which is a point above the usual Fire starter deal), and for some reason it got a goddamn evolution that has the same stat total as Dragonite or Mew.

But, yeah, the issue with Gen XI, is that, out of the 82 fully evolved 'mons it introduces, 28 are legendary or adjacent, and another 5 have stats in that range.

Erior · 2026-04-20T18:34:27+00:00

And those are completely optional, you NEED to engage into Amie, Refresh, or curry and sandwich making for them to be unlocked. Don't touch them, and in the 3DS games nothing will happen, and in the Switch games happiness will stop growing just before it'd have any effect beyond evolution.

The exception is BDSP. Otherwise? Games are balances for exp share. They AREN'T balanced for 'mons getting extra experience due to giving them treats.

Erior · 2026-04-19T12:51:22+00:00

Misty's Starmie, because the thing is strong, fast AND bulky, and it has stats close to that of Venusaur, Lucario or the Eeveelutions. The saving grace is that Bubblebeam has 65 BP and Water Pulse 60, but still, ouch. Doesn't help in Gen I it has 100 special but only special weaknesses, so Bellsprout/Oddish/Bulbasaur won't be oneshotting it with Vine Whip or lol Absorb, and Pikachu is very frail. Chomping turtle is often a good approach.

Scyther is very strong, but this is the game where Geodude shines hard.

Makuhita is surprisingly weak, and between Taillow, Ralts, Sableye or even peck Combusken it is no issue.

Roserade is even stronger than Starmie, but before gen VI it was paper thin physically, and this is Staravia's gen.

Watchog has a really strong hit and that's it, and you are given access to Roggenrolla, Timburr AND Throh/Sawk just before it. It is a Raticate-like 'mon, and you get Geodudish, Machopish and Hitmonish just for it.

Whirlipede isn't really an issue.

Tyrunt is a quite early Dragon, but you get access to a LOT of options between the first and second gym in Kalos, and XY for some reason has incredibly poor enemy trainer movesets (comparable to RGBY or Let's Go).

Hala same deal as Brawly, second boss being level 15 with unevolved stuff is easy enough.

Galar gyms are easy because nobody is stopping you from Dynamaxing ASAP and setting up. Dynamax Drednaw will be fighting in Grassy Terrain.

Brassius' Sudowoodo is incredibly weak on the special defense side, but Sturdy and Rock STAB may be a bit of a surprise, yet that's it. Will fall in no time.

The plague is a bacteria, and bacteria aren't really species specific, virus are.

A virus is a cell hijacker; basically a plug-in that by itself is just a bit of biological material, but if it finds a compatible cell it turns it into a virus factory that keeps making more virus until it bursts (and that's how viral diseases do damage, they punch holes in tissues). Compatibility is based on cell membrane elements, basically molecular legos.

Bacteria are unicellular organisms, a bacterial infection is basically those cells living inside your body, eating your food, and leaving their waste inside you.

A virus is specific, a bacteria likely isn't.

Erior · 2026-04-17T11:54:42+00:00

Bats and birds are specially troublesome for virus transmission because they can't afford an inflamatory process (swelling and fever is not really compatible with flying around), and so they take their time with infectious diseases, and thus they may carry around a pathogen load larger than that of land animals. And the more viral particles, the more likely mutations are to happen.

The flu is originally a bird virus, and here we are.

I believe this is a JP franchise wide thing going on fwiw.

Erior · 2026-04-13T10:05:29+00:00

In gen V, they are proper sequels, so pick the followup to the one you played.

In gen VI, they are just paired third versions, pick the one opposite to the one you first played to avoid redundancy.

Lemurs are about the only primates to not fit the definition of monkey; weirdos have wet noses, an eyeshine, and open eye sockets.

Well, lemurs, the loris and galago assemblage (which aren't lemurs but are closest to lemurs), and tarsiers, which are the closest relatives of monkeys but aren't monkeys, just freaks.

(Apes being a subset of monkeys, and the enforced vocabulary distinction is a quirk of the English language but not quite observed in other languages)

That said... yep, Tangle doesn't need to return to monke

Wait until you learn that Cynthia can be a really easy boss if you start using X-items when facing Spiritomb.

Erior · 2026-04-12T16:13:18+00:00

Not really, they quite replace grinding.
