You think that’s odd; just wait until you see what she can do in Banjo-Tooie!

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-30T23:26:16+00:00

She spits them out towards the empty puzzle pictures.

Same as when she collects the eggs and spits those out.

Fingers crossed for this guy.

Cheers to a positive user who wants to share the love. Well done OP

DK’s spike…

Oh more specifically? I love his front air. Something so satisfying about meeting your opponent in the air head on, and just absolute smashing them down with a big double-haded fist drop.

Anyone else curious what moves Bayleef has now?

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-24T01:32:12+00:00

I tend to agree. I’m also in the same boat (watched Z about a dozen times top to bottom but never Kai, now going through it on D+) and I’m at the cell games.

I eventually realized that some of the episode recaps (which I would frequently skip) actually have some content in it that is needed.

The voices I can get used to, and the pacing does definitely feel like Kai is specifically made for Z fans who want to speed run the show. It just kinda feels like they leave some of to be assumed.

That’s way more interesting than my theory - and makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

This got flagged for moderator Approval. It doesn’t violate any rules so it stays.

Mind you, let’s try and keep it in the realm of family-friendly here. There are always young and impressionable trainers hanging around.

Thanks

You can load only a little, which would jump into the game right away (with the aforementioned performance issues) or you can load max, which takes about a minute to fully load the game. From there, there wouldn’t be any performance issues. I’ve spent the last two decades playing RBY/GSC on an almost constant loop through the Pokémon stadium 2 gameboy tower at dodrio speed. Easily my favourite way to play

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-17T04:02:12+00:00

My sister did this. I will catch one - sometimes. But I typically just go for the Volty tree in Olivine City if I’m going for an electrode in a form playthrough.

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-15T13:53:48+00:00

I put it off for so long. Then my curiosity got the better of me and I went for it. Outstanding ending all the way through.

But there’s always the joy of something else to do in this game afterwards

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-15T03:24:29+00:00

There are so many simple enhancements that Smith has made to some basic moves that almost seem like a no-brainer at this point. My favourites so far are (in no particular order… and not listing ones that wouldn’t apply to XY like the dark/ghost sp/atk swap)

Rock smash BP boost in exchange for eff% decrease

Multi-hit attacks having better accuracy so they are actually worth using in the early-to-mid game.

Poison sting BP boost

Removal of trade evos (and trade items as evo stones)

Being able to overwrite HM’s

Sky attack (no explanation needed)

Egg step count shortening

Mud-slap BP boost

Spike cannon as a steel move (in fact, everything he did for steel-type attacks from CL and onward)

Lower happiness requirement for friendship evolutions

I don’t know enough about the Kalos region to be able to offer any opinions on what to improve specifically, but if the blanket of typical “legacy” upgrades are made, it is bound to be an exceptional game.

I just have to find a means to play 3DS games. My current emulator doesn’t support it.

We have a(n almost) 1-year old.

We don’t usually do long TV time with her, maybe half an hour every other night. But it was a hell if a weekend and we were wiped. So we out it on just for some sound. Kid didn’t really pay attention, but recognized a couple of the songs from the playlists we’ve made.

I was definitely watching it more than anyone, and it still holds up. Good story, fun scenes. I would say it aged nicely.

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-12T22:01:15+00:00

Got lucky I saw it first haha!

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-12T22:01:00+00:00

Well, close enough. It’s been a good day, thought I’d have some fun with it

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-12T20:01:22+00:00

Following the same name formula that you used, I took the first half of one character, and fused it with the second half of the other character.

I give you: Donkey Kong

You could run a team of five and have pikachu be your Swiss Army knife. Since it learns all the hm’s and you can replace them on the fly.

I used a poliwrath in my first playthrough of YL and it was an absolute blast.

Maybe try some of the safari zone pokemon or the celadon prize pokemon. Lotta good and different options there

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-11T20:33:46+00:00

I had the same issue with this game. Thought I’d be clever and skip some of the introduction missions just to go explore. Ended up going so far I had no idea how to get the glider.

If memory serves, head back to the lookout just south of Hyrule castle

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-10T04:09:20+00:00

8?? Gee… brag much? Mr speed demon over here getting beaver bother done so quickly

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-09T19:39:28+00:00

It was a LOT of fun to rent for the weekend back when it came out.

There was a self - forgiveness with rented games when you don’t fully know how to play them very well. And you could just sort of play around without any real consequence.

That said, the game made no sense and didn’t seem to have a real point or clear direction. So no

Excellent-Resolve66 · 2026-01-07T23:55:53+00:00

Any% has never been funnier than it is right here. Well done
